Public compare/certify pipeline and Safety Certificate schema v1

Release: InvarLock 0.2.0 - First public GitHub and PyPI release

October 19, 2026 revision: Restored the command and schema names used by v0.2.0. The v0.3.8 release later renamed certify to evaluate and certificates to reports.

Highlights

• Core compare/certify pipeline + guard chain.
• Safety Certificate schema v1 + usable CLI entry points, including invarlock certify.
• Torch-optional install with extras + initial docs.

This is the starting line: the first time the whole idea is available publicly as a cohesive tool, not just a repo of experiments. 0.2.0 ships the core compare/certify loop and guard chain, plus the Safety Certificate schema and CLI surface that makes it usable without living in the codebase.

It also sets the tone for versioning expectations: until 1.0.0, minor releases can include breaking changes. That’s not a warning so much as a “this is moving fast” label—so upgrades should be deliberate, not accidental.

If you’re new to InvarLock, this is the release that gives you the baseline mental model for everything that follows.
