Nocter v0.18.0 Publication and Audit

Status: published and externally audited (2026-08-28). This immutable record owns the final qualification, publication, and public-asset evidence for v0.18.0. Public changes are summarized in the English release notes; language behavior remains normative only in the specification.

Qualified Source and Artifact

The completed implementation scope, release-blocker audit, boundary review, and qualification are recorded in:

Release-content commit 4490dcd411215ae43b196dbde71f9b1afbec2ae7 passed two independent locked workspace test runs, each reporting 1,350 passed, zero failed, and one ignored public-HTTPS test. The explicit HTTPS test passed separately. Warnings-denied all-target Clippy passed twice in external targets. Formatting, manifest validation, 234-page documentation generation, and repository-integrity checks also passed. Qualification left no repository-local Cargo target.

Deterministic packaging generated the optimized compiler twice in independent temporary Cargo targets. The compressed archives matched byte for byte, their extracted .nocter/ homes matched recursively, and the fresh extraction passed the complete installed-home smoke matrix without mutating itself. The retained candidate was:

  • archive: dist/nocter-v0.18.0-arm64-darwin.tar.gz;
  • byte size: 7,498,219;
  • SHA-256: 534e4ea5231923877ee76cdadeb070a4c11f881dc09ecb517b037af49a17abf6;
  • compiler: ARM64 Mach-O reporting release 0.18.0;
  • standard library: all 66 tracked source files.

The fresh extraction passed version and installation diagnosis, help, package initialization, locked/offline check and native test, deterministic JSON graph, run, explicit build, direct Mach-O execution, and framed LSP analysis of installed standard-library contract and implementation sources.

Publication

Nocter v0.18.0 was published at github.com/rvo-jp/nocter/releases/tag/v0.18.0 on 2026-08-28. Annotated tag v0.18.0 resolves to publication commit 4c51622e6e4e109ee57bdf69eef9eeb426437479, which contains the public download links, English release notes, current specification, standard library, packaging inputs, and generated website.

GitHub reports v0.18.0 as the latest release. It is neither a draft nor a prerelease and contains exactly one asset: nocter-v0.18.0-arm64-darwin.tar.gz, 7,498,219 bytes, with digest sha256:534e4ea5231923877ee76cdadeb070a4c11f881dc09ecb517b037af49a17abf6. The publication timestamp is 2026-08-28T01:16:25Z.

Post-Publication Audit

The asset was downloaded from its public release URL into a new disposable directory. It compared byte for byte with the qualified local candidate, and its independently computed SHA-256 matched both the candidate record and GitHub's asset digest. The public latest-release endpoint resolved to v0.18.0. The public annotated tag object resolves through 7ffc97b2aa9b127a56aa4da43887a2779cc95e35 to the exact publication commit recorded above, and remote main contained that same commit when the audit ran.

The release asset is immutable by project policy. Any correction after v0.18.0 requires a new version, a new tag, a new qualification run, and a newly published archive; the existing tag and asset must not be replaced.
