Nocter v0.28.0 Publication and Audit

Status: published and externally audited (2026-09-02). This immutable record owns the final qualification, publication, and public-asset evidence for v0.28.0. 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 and qualification are recorded in:

Release-content commit c246a9d1e9fe4a6792b7282a553d02d195fe2e0e passed two independent locked workspace test runs, each reporting 1,521 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, no-default-features checking, packaging-script validation, 388-page documentation generation and reproducibility, and repository-integrity checks also passed. Qualification evidence was committed as e2a941c166d42ae1baa310734b9e1dd693b2c67c.

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-v0.28.0-arm64-darwin.tar.gz;
  • byte size: 8,270,498;
  • SHA-256: c743ae29a9f3a83202dd8b6733d281c29e711e996e08abd3e9fb591f2efa1b63;
  • compiler: ARM64 Mach-O reporting release 0.28.0;
  • compiler SHA-256: 505794bb06437978039a171e2ac3a8d5e77cbbbda96d3fbbb868232fc84ec6ae;
  • standard-library tree SHA-256: 7dc7f0abb2663c4fbd5f9d4aba90029fa24889ff6d879ecdd623e989a4512ac4;
  • standard library: exactly 131 regular files.

Fresh extraction passed version and installation diagnosis, help, package initialization, locked/offline check and native test, every public example, byte-identical package graphs, the exact text-banner output contract, run, explicit build, direct Mach-O execution, and framed LSP analysis. Separate copied homes were rejected after either the installed compiler or standard-library content was changed.

Publication

Nocter v0.28.0 was published at github.com/rvo-jp/nocter/releases/tag/v0.28.0 on 2026-09-02. Annotated tag v0.28.0 resolves to publication commit 8c85a6e6a844753cd061055998b656a4a1866ffb, which contains the public download links, English release notes, current specification, standard library, packaging inputs, and generated website.

GitHub reports v0.28.0 as the latest release. It is neither a draft nor a prerelease and contains exactly one asset: nocter-v0.28.0-arm64-darwin.tar.gz, 8,270,498 bytes, with digest sha256:c743ae29a9f3a83202dd8b6733d281c29e711e996e08abd3e9fb591f2efa1b63. The publication timestamp is 2026-09-02T11:53:12Z.

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 downloaded archive extracted to a valid Nocter home whose compiler reported release 0.28.0, host arm64-darwin, and default target arm64-darwin.

The public latest-release endpoint resolved to v0.28.0. The public annotated tag object resolves through eedfaa1665075d91aefcda6f262a02892643909d 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 v0.28.0 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.
