Release: InvarLock 0.2.0 — The foundation everything else builds on

Highlights

  • Core compare/evaluate pipeline + guard chain.
  • Report schema v1 + usable CLI entry points.
  • 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 evaluate loop and guard chain, plus the report 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.
