# ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 Publication Evidence - 2026-05-19

This is release-readiness evidence only. It does not create a GitHub release,
npm publication, plugin tag, marketplace submission, billing announcement, or
social announcement.

## Source Commit

| Git remote | `https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC.git` |
| Evidence scope | Current `main` after PR #1990 harness-audit GitHub integration scoring, PR #1991 canonical ECC identity gate, PR #1992 release video-suite gate, PR #1993 growth outreach pack, PR #1994 May 19 publication evidence refresh, PR #1995 operator dashboard refresh, PR #1996 primary render self-eval gate, PR #1997 publish-candidate gate, PR #1998 visual QA gate, PR #1999 video dashboard evidence refresh, PR #2000 suite-count evidence refresh, PR #2001 owner approval packet addition, PR #2002 owner approval dashboard gate refresh, PR #2004 Linear readiness evidence sync, PR #2005 post-PR #2004 evidence refresh, PR #2008 release supply-chain evidence gate fix, PR #2006 per-project Claude Code adapter, PR #2009 continuous-learning project registry hygiene fix, PR #2011 GateGuard quoted git introspection fix, and PR #2013 deterministic release approval gate |
| Local status caveat | `git status --short --branch` was clean after pulling `origin/main`; generated evidence files are committed after the source snapshot they describe |

The release operator must repeat all publish-facing checks from the exact final
release commit with a strictly clean checkout before publishing.

## Merge Batch

| Item | Result |
| --- | --- |
| PR #1990 | Merged GitHub integration harness-audit scoring and conflict salvage from the earlier unsafe PR lane |
| PR #1991 | Merged canonical ECC release identity gate across README, plugin/package metadata, OpenCode surfaces, Marketplace metadata, audit defaults, quickstart, release URL ledger, naming/publication matrix, and release tests |
| PR #1992 | Merged the release video-suite gate, production manifest, validator, package file surface, preview-pack smoke wiring, release-surface tests, and compact CI JSON output |
| PR #1993 | Merged the partner, sponsor, consulting, conference, podcast, GitHub Discussion, and video CTA pack for the hypergrowth outbound lane |
| PR #1994 | Merged the May 19 publication-evidence refresh, platform-audit evidence gate, preview-pack smoke evidence gate, and URL/readiness/roadmap references |
| PR #1995 | Merged the May 19 operator dashboard refresh with the `$1,728/mo` MRR baseline, `$10,000/mo` target, and release/video/outbound top actions |
| PR #1996 | Merged the primary launch render self-eval gate for duration, size, resolution, video stream, and audio stream checks |
| PR #1997 | Merged the publish-candidate gate for the primary launch MP4/captions plus five short clips in wide and vertical formats |
| PR #1998 | Merged the release video visual QA gate for publish candidates and black-frame segment detection |
| PR #1999 | Merged the operator dashboard refresh that moved the release video suite to current once publish-candidate evidence was recorded |
| PR #2000 | Merged the suite-count evidence refresh so the platform audit rejects stale local-suite totals |
| PR #2001 | Merged the final human decision sheet for release, package, plugin, video, billing, social, and outbound approvals; GitHub Actions run `26102500291` completed successfully |
| PR #2002 | Merged the owner-approval dashboard refresh so the operator dashboard fails closed when the final decision sheet is missing or incomplete; CI passed before merge |
| PR #2004 | Merged the May 19 Linear readiness evidence sync after PR #2002, including roadmap, dashboard, preview-pack manifest, publication evidence, operator dashboard generator, and release-surface test updates |
| PR #2005 | Merged the post-PR #2004 evidence refresh, keeping the May 19 readiness ledger, dashboard, roadmap, and release-surface references current on `main` |
| PR #2008 | Merged the release supply-chain evidence gate fix so platform-audit readiness keeps matching current publication evidence |
| PR #2006 | Merged the `claude-project` install target for per-project Claude Code adapter support, then fixed the manifest schema enum on top of the feature branch before merge |
| PR #2009 | Merged the continuous-learning project registry hygiene fix: non-git hook payloads stay global, no-remote linked worktrees migrate to the main worktree project ID, and `instinct-cli.py projects delete`, `merge`, and `gc` provide operator maintenance commands |
| PR #2011 | Merged the GateGuard read-only git introspection tokenizer fix so quoted `git show` pathspecs with spaces are preserved while quoted shell separators stay outside the bypass |
| PR #2013 | Merged the deterministic `release:approval-gate` so final publication, package, plugin, video, billing, social, and outbound actions remain blocked until owner decisions and live URL readbacks are complete |

## Post-Queue-Zero Sync - 2026-05-19 Late Pass

## Product And Positioning Evidence

| Surface | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Canonical repo identity | Public URLs and release docs now use `https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC` where public links are needed |
| Release claim | Release notes and launch collateral frame ECC as the harness-native operator system for agentic work, not a Claude-only config pack |
| Video proof | `video-suite-production.md` gates the local rough render, timeline, captions, source inventory, publish-candidate clip set, self-eval, black-frame QA, and no-private-path publication rules |
| Growth proof | `partner-sponsor-talks-pack.md` provides approval-gated copy for sponsors, partners, consulting, talks, podcasts, GitHub Discussion, and video CTAs |
| Owner approval proof | `owner-approval-packet-2026-05-19.md` centralizes release, package, plugin, video, billing, social, and outbound decision gates |
| Business baseline | Hypergrowth command center and partner pack use `$1,728/mo` current MRR, `$10,000/mo` target MRR, and `$8,272/mo` gap |
| Operator dashboard | `operator-readiness-dashboard-2026-05-19.md` pulls the growth baseline into the same queue, publication, video, outbound, AgentShield, ECC Tools, Linear, and supply-chain control surface |
| Linear progress proof | Linear project document `ecc-may-19-post-pr-2002-sync-64cef8f668e0` mirrors the post-PR #2002 state and records active lanes for launch materials, AgentShield, ECC Tools deep analysis, observability, and final release publication; Linear document `ecc-may-19-late-queue-zero-and-release-gate-sync-1c26f65e6b3f` adds the PR #2013 approval gate, ECC-Tools #79 redaction hardening, and JARVIS #15/#16 queue/deploy repair evidence |

## Current Publication Blockers

- GitHub prerelease `v2.0.0-rc.1` is still not created in this pass.
- npm `ecc-universal@2.0.0-rc.1` is still not published to the `next`
  dist-tag.
- Claude plugin tag and marketplace propagation remain approval-gated.
- Codex repo-marketplace distribution is verified by prior evidence, but
  official Plugin Directory publishing remains blocked on OpenAI submission or
  listing evidence.
- ECC Tools billing/native-payments copy remains blocked until a Marketplace
  Pro purchase/webhook path writes ready production billing state for a target
  Marketplace test account and the billing announcement gate passes.
- Release notes, X, LinkedIn, GitHub release, GitHub Discussion, longform copy,
  sponsor outreach, partner outreach, consulting copy, conference pitches, and
  podcast pitches still need final live URLs plus human approval before posting
  or sending.
- Discord/community links still need a real invite or bot/guild credential path
  before public docs should route users there.

## Result

The tracked public PR queue, issue queue, discussion queue, canonical ECC
identity, release video suite, preview pack, growth outreach packet, per-project
Claude Code adapter surface, continuous-learning project registry hygiene,
GateGuard quoted git introspection fix, deterministic release approval gate,
ECC-Tools billing-announcement redaction hardening, and JARVIS security/deploy
queue repairs are current on May 19, 2026 for `main` through
`9819626459a662773be7d0b1c18d82c1316b8c36`. The remaining video work is owner
approval, upload, and public URL attachment, not render or QA production.

This improves publication readiness but does not replace the approval-gated
release, package, plugin, billing, Discord, and announcement steps in
`publication-readiness.md`.
