Verify every open pull request and issue against current code and primary sources. Refresh Google guidance and promote the bundled Brain only after deterministic and independent audits pass. - Add live and offline Google currentness enforcement. - Add complete Brain source-review records and public projection gates. - Fix analyzer, installer, dependency, and security regressions. - Record the evidence-led PR and issue disposition in release notes. This does not merge or close external pull requests or issues. Antivirus vendor reclassification remains external. Verified: - Root tests: 343 passed, 1 skipped. - Brain tests: 26 passed. - Brain audit: market-ready, score 100, no warnings. - Brainstein strict audit: SSS+, score 100, no warnings. - Google live and offline currentness checks passed. - Secret scan passed with 217 adjudicated findings and none unexpected. - Public release, consistency, plugin, lock, prose, and actionlint gates passed.
