0.9.6 — Host-first execution
Formal release identity, checks, limitations and links for Harbor Self-Evolving 0.9.6.
Released 2026-09-19. Formal source tag: v0.9.6.
Shipped
- Host is the default execution environment; Docker remains explicit opt-in.
- Candidate Context records execution environment so Host and Docker are not silently comparable.
- Plugin, Skill and Python Adapter package identities align at 0.9.6.
- The normal registry setup path remains the supported installation.
Verification
The archive records automated Node/Python/package checks and public release identities. Evidence types are kept separate from business acceptance.
Limits
Warning
0.9.6 did not run a real provider model, real Candidate/Historical Session data, or a paid Harbor evaluation; automated tests do not establish a business-quality baseline.
Default Host mode is not sandboxed. Candidate Context v3 Web Compare/Gate also has the documented 0.9.6 contract issue.
The website and GitHub Pages deployment are documentation delivery; they do not retroactively change the 0.9.6 package or evidence status.
