+All notable changes to the published WIP Rust crates are documented here.
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+Initial public release of:
+
+- `wip-protocol`: transport-independent WIP logical model and validation.

+- `wip-interface`: public Rust interface-authoring facade and typed value codecs.
+- `wip-host`: request-scoped publication, precondition validation, and qualified operation dispatch.

+
+The repository also contains non-published filesystem server, terminal client, and public-API conformance packages.

+## Published crates
+
+The `0.1.0` release consists of these six crates:
+
+- `wip-protocol`
+- `wip-interface-macros` — implementation dependency re-exported by `wip-interface`
+- `wip-interface`
+- `wip-host`
+- `wip-http`
+- `wip-client`
+
+The filesystem server, terminal client, and public-API example are workspace-only packages and set `publish = false`. All workspace packages require Rust 1.88 or newer and are licensed under either Apache-2.0 or MIT at your option.
+
+See [RELEASING.md](RELEASING.md) for the dependency-ordered crates.io procedure and [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for release contents.
+
 The boundary is intentional: protocol types describe what can cross a
 transport; application DTOs opt into that model with `WipType`; a host-private
 implementation owns credentials, handles, and backend state; and `wip-http`

+# Releasing
+
+The six crates published from this workspace use one version and must be released in dependency order. The filesystem server, terminal client, and public-API example set `publish = false` and are never uploaded.
+
+## Preconditions
+
+1. Work from a clean `master` whose `HEAD` matches `origin/master`.
+2. Confirm the intended version in `[workspace.package]` and every internal requirement in `[workspace.dependencies]`.
+3. Confirm ownership of all six names on crates.io.
+4. Run the complete repository validation suite:
+
+```console
+cargo fmt --all -- --check
+cargo check --workspace --all-targets
+cargo test --workspace --all-targets
+cargo test --workspace --doc
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+RUSTDOCFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo doc --workspace --no-deps
+cargo run --package wip-public-api-example
+git diff --check
+```
+
+## Publish order
+
+Before uploading anything, dry-run the exact public package set together. Cargo uses a temporary local registry for unpublished workspace dependencies during this check:
+
+```console
+cargo publish --dry-run --workspace \
+  --exclude wip-fs-server \
+  --exclude wip-public-api-example \
+  --exclude wip-tui
+```
+
+Then dry-run and publish each layer before moving to a crate that depends on it:
+
+```console
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-protocol
+cargo publish --package wip-protocol
+
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-interface-macros
+cargo publish --package wip-interface-macros
+```
+
+Wait until both versions are available from the crates.io index, then continue:
+
+```console
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-interface
+cargo publish --package wip-interface
+
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-http
+cargo publish --package wip-http
+```
+
+After those versions are available from the index:
+
+```console
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-host
+cargo publish --package wip-host
+
+cargo publish --dry-run --package wip-client
+cargo publish --package wip-client
+```
+
+Registry propagation can take time. A dependent dry-run reporting that a WIP crate is unavailable means the previous publish is not visible in the selected registry yet; do not bypass verification.
+
+## Tag
+
+After all six uploads resolve successfully, tag the exact published commit and push the tag:
+
+```console
+git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "release: 0.1.0"
+git push origin v0.1.0
+```
+
+Do not move or recreate a published version or its tag. Prepare a new version for any subsequent correction.

+# wip-client
+
+Presentation-independent stateful runtime for Web Interface Protocol (WIP) clients.
+
+`wip-client` manages endpoint- and security-context-isolated Known Space, object and Interface Descriptor observations, bounded request ownership, supersession, out-of-order response suppression, validator recovery, and operation call contexts. It produces and consumes framework-neutral `wip-http` messages but performs no network I/O and contains no UI types.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+wip-client = "0.1.0"
+```
+
+Applications provide the HTTP adapter and presentation layer, send each prepared request exactly as owned by the runtime, then return the corresponding response for completion.
+
+See the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/wip-client) for session, acquisition, cache, and call APIs.

+# wip-host
+
+Framework-independent Host publication and operation dispatch for the Web Interface Protocol (WIP).
+
+`wip-host` registers generated interfaces, explicitly publishes them on request-scoped objects, validates object and interface preconditions, and performs interface-qualified operation dispatch against one host-owned instance. Backend transactions, persistence, and network serving remain application responsibilities.
+
+```toml

+# wip-http
+
+Framework-independent WIP over HTTP v1 endpoint, route, JSON codec, and response-classification support.
+
+The crate maps the three WIP Core interactions to fixed HTTP routes and strict UTF-8 JSON representations. It constructs and validates `http` request and response values but deliberately performs no network I/O and does not define TLS, authentication, proxy, or connection policy.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+wip-http = "0.1.0"
+```
+
+```rust
+use wip_http::wip_protocol::ObserveRequest;
+use wip_http::{Endpoint, Limits, encode_observe_request};
+
+fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let endpoint = Endpoint::parse("https://example.test/wip")?;
+    let limits = Limits::new(64 * 1024, 1024 * 1024, 64)?;
+    let request = encode_observe_request(
+        &endpoint,
+        &ObserveRequest { path: "/".into(), depth: 0 },
+        limits,
+    )?;
+    assert_eq!(request.uri(), "https://example.test/wip/v1/observe");
+    Ok(())
+}

+# wip-interface
+
+Public Rust authoring API for Web Interface Protocol (WIP) interfaces and application DTO codecs.
+
+The crate re-exports `#[interface]` and `#[derive(WipType)]`, generates Interface Descriptors and typed dispatch companions, and converts application-owned Rust values to and from the transport-independent value model.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+wip-interface = "0.1.0"
+```
+
+```rust
+use wip_interface as wip;

+    fn greet(&self, name: String) -> wip::OperationResult<Greeting>;
