Released 2026-09-20. Formal source tag: [`v0.9.7`](https://github.com/istarwyh/harbor-self-evolving/releases/tag/v0.9.7).

## Shipped {#shipped}

- Candidate Context v3 is valid in Dashboard overview and Job detail; eligible Jobs can use Compare/Gate.
- Historical Context v2 is recognized explicitly by protocol, including context-only pending Jobs.
- Setup persists the complete installation identity. Settings only copies a reviewable exact update command and never executes registry packages.
- Plugin, Skill and Python Adapter identities align at 0.9.7.
- The bilingual product/documentation site covers all 19 tools, the Skill, Adapter, evaluation concepts, evidence boundaries and roadmap.

## Verification {#verification}

The [0.9.7 archive](https://github.com/istarwyh/harbor-self-evolving/blob/main/docs/releases/v0.9.7/README.md) records automated Node/Python/package/site checks, public package identities and release assets. Publication and evidence status are reported separately.

## Limits {#limits}

> [!WARNING]
> 0.9.7 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. Same-origin is a browser CSRF defense, not caller authentication. Gate is deterministic for fixed inputs and is not deployment.
