+- Linux/Windows qualification, SQLite backup/restore tests
+- `ARCHITECTURE.md`, `USAGE.md`, `API.md` docs + `examples/brief-handoff.sh`
+- `rho`/`rover` interop: checkpoint restore, brief→session mapping
+
+## 0.1.0 — Provenance
+- Semantic search over dossiers, cross-repo handoffs
+- Live provider adapters beyond OpenCode
+
+## 1.0 — Production
+- Stable CLI, signed checkpoints, migration guarantees

+# Across implementation status — 0.0.1
+
+Local-first, git-native engineering continuity system. Not production-ready.
+
+| Area | Implemented | Remaining / not validated |
+|---|---|---|
+| Core | SQLite WAL, repos/sessions/checkpoints, post-commit hook, CLI `repo/session/checkpoint/brief/handoff/dossier` | Linux/Windows qualification, backup/restore hardening |
+| Provenance | Commit/session linkage, verification basis `executed_by_across_local_runner` | Semantic graph import, external evidence attestation |
+| Agents | OpenCode synthetic-tested adapter | 8/9 providers UNIMPLEMENTED — no LIVE_TESTED |
+| Interop | Checkpoints belong to Across; Rover may request/consume/restore (see README) | `rho checkpoint` <-> `across checkpoint` mapping, `rover snapshots` naming map |
+
+See `README.md` Boundary: Across vs Rover and `docs/agent-compatibility.md`.
