# Release status

The repository is in its documentation-only phase. The local release candidate
is complete and awaiting explicit data-upload approval.

## Completed

- Raw source snapshots pinned and downloaded.
- Archive extraction completed with safe path normalization.
- Public configurations frozen to exactly `generation` and `understanding`.
- Self-contained Parquet-row and approximately 256 MiB shard policy approved.
- Local candidate completed: 2,667,017 rows, 6,804 shards, and
  1,132,362,679,743 Parquet bytes after removing seven empty-audio rows.
- Full validation passed with zero errors across schemas, source/partition
  counts, unique row IDs, file and embedded-audio SHA-256 hashes, byte lengths,
  audio probing, message linkage, and private-path scans.

## Required before data upload

- Provenance and redistribution review for every source subset.
- Owner review and explicit approval of the exact data upload manifest.

No Parquet or audio payload will be uploaded before that approval.
