-- **v0.5.0 is prepared on `main`, not yet published.** PR #61 fixed a real

-  could skip any universal policy (not just the two the shape permits) with
-  zero enforcement outside the app's own registration path, and a skip's
-  claimed replacement was never verified to exist. Every receipt now carries
-  `policyCoverage`. PR #60 added Kubernetes support to `changesafe eval` and

-  trusted preamble) and an eval-accuracy gap (unvalidated rollback
-  references) found in review. `CORE_POLICY_VERSION` moves to `core-v0.2.0`,

-  `docs/RELEASE_NOTES_v0.5.0.md`. All nine workspace packages are bumped to
