RaceProof 1.0.0-beta.1

RaceProof 1.0.0-beta.1

• Made the targeted mutation command select the same four release-critical
  files on Windows and POSIX shells, and taught the strict checker to accept
  Pest's compact output without ignoring timeouts or malformed totals.

• Prepared the first shared Laravel/runtime beta metadata with compatible
  prerelease constraints and automatic independent-consumer alignment.

• Added continuous independent-consumer smoke jobs on GitHub-hosted macOS and
  native Windows plus an artifact-backed 80% targeted mutation-quality gate for
  fail-closed environment, database, worker-process, and credential-redaction
  boundaries; its strict score counts timeouts in the denominator instead of
  accepting them as tested mutants.

• Added an idempotent raceproof:install workflow and versioned JSON/child
  process modes for raceproof:doctor, without automatically changing
  application environment files.

• Made release preparation align copy-ready Laravel and runtime installation
  constraints for beta, release-candidate, and stable versions.

• Added an isolated Laravel 12 consumer application that verifies package
  discovery, participant/authentication modes, a real multi-process database
  invariant, CLI workflows, and Studio HTTP behavior in its own dependency
  tree.

• Fixed the PHPUnit and Pest scaffolds and README example to call the global
  race() helper without an invalid namespaced function import.

• Added the opt-in local/testing-only RaceProof Studio with bounded redacted
  report retention, responsive participant/checkpoint timelines, JSON export,
  report inspection commands, and PHPUnit/Pest test scaffolding that keeps
  execution and assertions code-first.

• Prepared the public project surface with a redesigned README, tested demo
  assets, documentation map, MIT licensing guide, citation metadata, and a
  checksum-verified worktree/history secret-scan gate.

• Made external release-gate issue references portable across repository
  migration while preserving the exact gate identities, order, uniqueness,
  evidence status, and fail-closed stable-release behavior.

• Froze the v1 public API candidate with a reflection-backed signature guard and
  published semantic-versioning, deprecation, and upgrade policies.

• Added reproducible dual-package artifacts, clean artifact installation,
  signed-checksum/provenance release automation, ordered runtime splitting,
  Packagist polling, and a fail-closed rollback runbook.

• Added a private-beta invitation/feedback/consent kit, a bounded anonymized
  evidence registry, and fail-closed validation/reporting without claiming
  invitations or adoption that have not occurred.

• Added a dependent pre-release audit job, pinned CI action references,
  compatibility/maintenance/limitations policies, and an executable
  mutation-risk registry while keeping external release blockers explicit.

• Added per-participant payload, header, cookie, token, session, Sanctum identity, and bootstrap overrides with real multi-process authentication coverage.

• Added a stable schema-v1 evidence model with bounded human, JSON, and JUnit reporters.

• Added an executable Pest 3 workflow to the supported PHP/Laravel CI matrix.

• Published a tested five-minute guide, a troubleshooting decision guide, an evidence-based platform matrix, and four executable MySQL/PostgreSQL broken/fixed demonstrations.

• Added deterministic MySQL 8.4 and PostgreSQL 17 CI scenarios with 100/100 critical broken/fixed evidence.

• Added JSON-safe class-based participant bootstrap and the standalone zero-framework raceproof/runtime checkpoint package with an accepted packaging ADR.

• Added deterministic worker lifecycle management with injectable process/clock contracts, mandatory wait/reap behavior, bounded worker output, and distinct failure diagnostics.

• Added a versioned append-only event timeline, concurrent/malformed-write recovery, credential redaction, actionable failure reports, and partial evidence on parent-side failures.

• Added professional contribution, security, support, issue, and review workflows.

• Added an enforced 90% coverage gate and expanded CI quality checks.

• Added the technical MVP package foundation.

• Added independent Artisan workers and kernel-mode HTTP execution.

• Added file-backed READY, START, and named checkpoint barriers.

• Added RacePoint, result aggregation, assertions, timeout handling, and retained failure artifacts.

• Added environment/database safety checks and doctor/cleanup commands.

• Added real multi-process checkpoint and broken/fixed overselling integration tests.

Verification

• The release workflow accepts only a signed v1.0.0-beta.1 tag whose commit is on main.
• Required CI checks must be successful on the exact release commit.
• Both Composer artifacts are built reproducibly, installed together in a clean fixture, and covered by signed SHA-256 checksums.
• raceproof/runtime is split, tagged, released, and observed on Packagist before raceproof/laravel is published.
