scala-semantic-harness

Experimental semantic tooling for Scala and functional-programming projects used by coding agents.

The harness is a bounded semantic evidence layer, not a replacement for the Scala compiler, sbt, tests, Metals, or other IDE/LSP tooling. Compiler, build, and test results remain the final correctness oracle. See docs/project-status.md for current evidence and readiness limits and docs/semantic-tooling-positioning.md for the product boundary. Technical evaluators can use docs/early-feedback.md to report a concrete real-project comparison.

The current tree is the standalone experimental public-alpha source product under the Apache-2.0 license. It was published from an independently constructed, audited clean root followed only by reviewed public-product commits. The earlier mixed development history is retained separately in a private archive and is not part of this public repository.

Mutable source main reports 0.1.0-alpha.4-SNAPSHOT for source development only. No Alpha 4 Central artifact, supported channel, tag, GitHub Release, or release-readiness claim is established. The exact eight-module 0.1.0-alpha.3 release is published on Maven Central, and the public main two-application Coursier channel selects it. Fresh outsider-like JDK 21 install/runtime/update/uninstall through the actual public raw-GitHub URL and Maven Central passed, as did commit-pinned reproduction. Both exact Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 application routes now have bounded supported- distribution READY evidence. The immutable 0.1.0-alpha.3 lightweight tag identifies commit 075a60bfb7d7677d7fdfcc2369c9ffe41c8b32a8, whose two clean builds reproduced all 32 public Maven primaries. Its GitHub prerelease has normal generated source archives plus the exact Linux x86_64 MCPB used by the active official Registry record. The immutable 0.1.0-alpha.2 tag and prerelease retain the independently qualified supported route and source identity for its 32 Central primaries.

Agent quick start

The current supported packaged route is exact 0.1.0-alpha.3 on JDK 21. Install the CLI and generic stdio MCP server first:

cs install --default-channels=false \
  --channel https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DmytroMitin/scala-semantic-harness/main/distribution/coursier/channel.json \
  semantic-scala semantic-scala-mcp
semantic-scala version

Then choose the integration that the agent client supports: the complete CLI, the curated exact-eight MCP projection, and/or the immutable alpha-2 agent skill. Copying this repository's thin skill wrappers into another project is not supported; install the canonical skill from the 0.1.0-alpha.2 tag.

docs/agent-onboarding.md gives copy-ready Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code/Copilot recipes, exact local qualification statuses, skill installation, the CLI/MCP surface matrix, and troubleshooting. Alpha-3 project and target-JDK selectors are explicitly excluded from the alpha-2 packaged contract. The qualified mutable main channel selects Alpha 3; Alpha 2 remains reproducible through its immutable tag-pinned channel.

What is included

• structured compile, test, and diagnostic reports;
• SemanticDB inventory, coverage, symbol, and exact-symbol usage evidence;
• bounded Presentation Compiler symbol and type queries;
• reconciliation of dynamic compiler evidence with an explicit SemanticDB artifact;
• a public point-evidence composition that preserves source-artifact discovery, safe selection, live symbol evidence, and conditional reconciliation;
• Alpha 3 opt-in build-target-aware SemanticDB source mapping v4 with a validated optional Scala axis and root-only receipt, alongside target-aware point-evidence v4 with a non-compiling partial existing-output context and explicit v5 existing-internal-Compile-output opt-in, plus strict v6 content-fresh internal-output gating;
• an Alpha 3 CLI-only, same-request post-compile TASTy point-evidence operation with exact stable Scala 3 child-inspector provenance;
• bounded Alpha 3 sbt-backed command, classpath, and TASTy-receipt compatibility proven on sbt 1.12.15 and 2.0.6 fixtures;
• conservative syntax-first FP effect summaries;
• a stdio MCP server exposing exactly eight public tools;
• small external example projects and benchmark infrastructure; and
• a client-neutral semantic-scala agent skill with thin Codex and Claude Code wrappers;
• source templates and a deterministic assembler for a self-contained Agent Plugins 1.0 package containing that skill and the exact-eight MCP server; and
• a supported, independently qualified exact-eight Maven/Coursier application route for exact versions 0.1.0-alpha.2 and 0.1.0-alpha.3, with Alpha 3 current on the public main channel and Alpha 2 retained at its release tag.

Modules

• modules/core: shared JSON models and codecs.
• modules/cli: the semantic-scala command entry point.
• modules/sbt-runner: sbt compile/test subprocess integration.
• modules/semanticdb-reader: SemanticDB inventory and usage evidence.
• modules/presentation-compiler: bounded dynamic semantic queries.
• modules/semantic-reconciliation: static/dynamic symbol comparison and the point-evidence composition and reconciliation contracts.

• modules/mcp-server: CLI-backed MCP stdio adapter.
• modules/benchmark: benchmark models and fixtures.

Build and test

The project uses Scala 3 and sbt. A fresh source setup requires JDK 21, sbt, Git, and Python 3; CI uses Temurin JDK 21. A newer local JDK may work, but it is not the documented baseline.

Scala 3 describes the harness implementation, not a blanket target-language promise. A bounded JDK 21 matrix has verified build/test/error delegation, SemanticDB discovery/symbol/usages, and syntax-first effect summaries on Scala 2.13.18 and Scala 3.3.8 fixtures. The harness is built with Scala 3.9.0 and its dynamic point operations use the linked Scala 3.9.0 Presentation Compiler. That host compiler resolved the matrix's shared-syntax Scala 2 points, but this is not general Scala 2 dialect or compiler support. Target builds still use their selected target compiler; static SemanticDB and post-compile TASTy evidence remain target-artifact evidence. Reconciliation and point evidence inherit the dynamic-source limitation. See docs/project-status.md and docs/semantic-api.md for the exact boundary.

Two maintained real-project Stage-A checks now cover frozen Scala 2.13.18 revisions without source or build changes. scala/scala-java8-compat produced no SemanticDB, so its otherwise-passing alpha-2 matrix preserved truthful degraded point evidence. A bounded production row of scalacenter/scalafix produced target-owned SemanticDB; static symbol discovery, bounded dynamic lookup, exact static/dynamic reconciliation, complete point evidence, and the ordered exact-eight MCP projection passed. Scalafix's aggregated sbt build also exposed that the alpha-2 build oracle cannot select one project row. The Alpha 3 release closes that routing gap with an optional validated project selector; the immutable alpha-2 distribution remains unchanged. These two projects are complementary bounded evidence, not general Scala 2 support or semantic superiority.

The Alpha 3 release sbt subprocess boundary sends project selection plus one product-owned task as a single fixed command sequence. Its injected classpath/receipt adapters use sbt's fileConverter for sbt 2 virtual references and preserve sbt 1 file-backed entries. Readable extensionless sbt 2 CAS JARs are copied directly, without cache scanning, into an owner-only content-addressed area under the selected workspace's generated target tree. A disposable sbt 2.0.6 fixture, a disposable sbt 2.0.7 multi-project fixture, frozen sbt 1.12.15 and sbt 2.0.6 plugin projects, and a frozen Chimney sbt 2.0.7 / Scala 3.8.4 selected row pass their bounded gates. The shared runner uses a request-owned foreground sbt server lifecycle, and structured sbt suite counters preserve ignored/skipped tests in the existing Test JSON fields. This is version-specific evidence, not universal sbt 2 or compiler-plugin compatibility. Chimney's macro-heavy PC points remain neutrally unresolved because target compiler options and plugins are not replayed.

sbt -batch test
sbt cli/stage
sbt mcpServer/stage

The source-checkout wrapper runs the CLI through sbt:

./semantic-scala --help
./semantic-scala version
./semantic-scala compile --json
./semantic-scala compile --sbt-project core2_13 --json
./semantic-scala compile --sbt-project plugin --sbt-java-home /absolute/path/to/installed-jdk --json
./semantic-scala test --json
./semantic-scala errors --json

compile, errors, test, semanticdb-for-source, and point-evidence accept an optional --sbt-project <id> where the ID matches [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]*. Without it they preserve ordinary root behavior. With it, compile/errors run that project's fixed Compile scope and test runs its fixed Test scope. The selector is not arbitrary sbt syntax, and a successful selected invocation proves only that bounded project operation, not whole-workspace correctness.

All eight sbt-backed forms (compile, errors, test, target-aware semanticdb-for-source, target-aware point-evidence, sbt-backed infer-type, infer-type-batch, and tasty-point-evidence) also accept an optional --sbt-java-home <absolute-directory>. The harness itself remains on the supported JDK 21 runtime; only the target sbt child receives the selected canonical JAVA_HOME and a matching PATH prefix. The home must already be installed and pass bounded validation and a fixed version probe. The harness does not discover, download, install, or globally select JDKs. Omitting the flag preserves inherited-Java behavior. Selected-JDK classpath acquisition is isolated from no-selector cache reuse, and public result schemas do not expose the home or probe evidence.

Target-aware semanticdb-for-source and point-evidence also accept --sbt-scala-version <version>. The option requires --sbt-project, uses a strict version-only grammar, and selects that cross-Scala axis in a fresh sbt lifecycle. Source mapping then runs its fixed root-only receipt task; point evidence runs its distinct partial existing-output point-context receipt. Omission means the checked-in build default, never inherited ++ state.

For repeated use, prefer the staged launcher at modules/cli/target/stage/bin/semantic-scala.

Maven/Coursier distribution

The source-build route above remains supported and externally verified. Exact eight-module Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 runtimes are published under final group com.github.dmytromitin on Maven Central, with their complete public repository shapes verified against reviewed bytes. Both exact versions passed fresh outsider-like public raw-GitHub install/runtime/update/uninstall against Maven Central only. Alpha 3 is current on main and also passed commit-pinned reproduction; Alpha 2 retains its immutable, qualified release-tag route.

The Central publication contains exactly the eight implementation modules, never the root aggregate or benchmark, and the public channel uses exact-version descriptors for the distinct semantic-scala CLI and semantic-scala-mcp server applications. JDK 21 and Coursier are runtime/install prerequisites. Target-workspace sbt is needed by build-oracle commands such as compile, errors, and test; it is not required merely to install the applications or for every read-only semantic command. The Maven modules are application implementation artifacts, not a supported embeddable-library API or binary-compatibility promise.

Install only the CLI:

cs install --default-channels=false \
  --channel https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DmytroMitin/scala-semantic-harness/main/distribution/coursier/channel.json \
  semantic-scala

Or install the CLI and stdio MCP server together:

cs install --default-channels=false \
  --channel https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DmytroMitin/scala-semantic-harness/main/distribution/coursier/channel.json \
  semantic-scala semantic-scala-mcp

Use semantic-scala-mcp as the generic stdio MCP command with the target workspace as its working directory. See docs/distribution.md for Coursier setup, updates, uninstall, commit-pinned channel reproduction, and the current qualification boundary.

Target-aware source mapping and point evidence are explicit Alpha 3 options. Omitting target options preserves the v2 workspace-wide behavior, including truthful ambiguity. With --sbt-project, source mapping emits v4 and uses a fixed root-only Compile receipt containing target identity, classDirectory, semanticdbTargetRoot, requested/effective Scala-axis provenance, and bounded JDK provenance. It does not request target compilation, fullClasspath, products, or exported products; sbt build/plugin loading, resolution, and ordinary metadata/cache writes remain possible. Candidate ownership is checked canonically beneath the reported SemanticDB root while workspace discovery remains unchanged. Optional --sbt-scala-version selects one validated axis and must exactly match the effective receipt axis; omission uses the fresh lifecycle's build default.

Target-aware point evidence emits v4 by default. It acquires exactly one fixed Compile receipt containing the selected existing class directory when present plus the selected target's external dependencies. It never requests target compilation, fullClasspath, products, or exported products, and has no build fallback. The report always marks this context PartialExistingOutputs; a missing class directory is omitted rather than built. Checked-in sbt build/plugin loading, dependency resolution, and metadata/cache writes remain possible. The harness Presentation Compiler does not replay target compiler flags, plugins, or lifecycle, and the context is not a complete arbitrary multi-project classpath. An explicit --include-existing-internal-outputs presence flag emits v5 and adds only already-present same-axis internal Compile class directories found by a bounded settings-only dependency traversal. Missing outputs remain typed and are never built. V5 stays PartialExistingCompileOutputs, does not request fullClasspath, products, or internalDependencyClasspath, and still does not replay target compiler flags/plugins. The existing eighth MCP tool exposes the same opt-in as optional boolean includeExistingInternalOutputs; the registry remains exactly eight. Adding --require-fresh-internal-outputs requires the v5 flag and emits v6. It reads only existing same-axis Compile / compileAnalysisFile archives and uses supported Zinc persistence APIs in one on-demand bounded JDK 21 worker plus content stamps and source/product relations. The worker is not resolved or launched by v2/v4/v5 or ordinary MCP initialization. Its exact pinned Zinc 1.12.1/Scala 2.13.18/JNA 5.14.0 graph is cache-first; first uncached strict-v6 use may contact Maven Central and populate the Coursier cache, while a warm cache can run offline. Cold offline unavailability fails closed as Unverifiable, with no compile or linked-runtime fallback. The same settings-only receipt captures exact configured source roots and generator-list cardinality; configured generators, managed source residue, unavailable provenance, unsafe roots, or exceeded file/archive bounds fail closed as Unverifiable. Only internal directories proven Fresh contribute; Stale and all Unverifiable states remain visible but excluded. This does not compile, run generators, use mtimes or Git state as freshness authority, or establish whole-target/build freshness. The matching MCP boolean is requireFreshInternalOutputs on the same eighth tool. Moving the graph off normal process classpaths reduces the ordinary staged and shipped dependency surface; it does not claim lower total disk use after the on-demand cache has been populated. semanticdb-for-source remains CLI-only, direct reconcile-symbol remains an explicit-artifact target-independent operation, and the MCP registry remains exactly eight tools.

All machine-facing commands have JSON output. Build-oracle command exit code 0 means the CLI operation completed; inspect the JSON success field for the compile or test domain result. Semantic results preserve their scope and uncertainty: rendered hover text is not canonical identity, artifact presence is not complete source coverage, and only ExactMatch is exact reconciliation.

MCP server

The stdio server exposes exactly these tools:

semantic_compile
semantic_errors
semantic_test
semantic_effect_summary
semantic_symbol_at
semantic_symbols
semantic_reconcile_symbol
semantic_point_evidence

Build and validate it with:

sbt cli/stage
sbt mcpServer/stage
scripts/mcp/smoke-mcp-tools.py

Copy .mcp.example.json and replace its placeholder checkout path for source-development client configuration. Installed alpha-2 users should configure semantic-scala-mcp directly. See docs/mcp-client-validation.md for the public configuration and protocol checks and docs/agent-onboarding.md for client recipes.

Agent skill

The canonical client-neutral policy is skills/semantic-scala/SKILL.md. Thin repository wrappers live at:

• .agents/skills/semantic-scala/SKILL.md
• .claude/skills/semantic-scala/SKILL.md

These files are source-tree wrappers, not standalone external installations. The skill is policy and documentation. It does not add commands, background services, or automatic invocation. External alpha-2 installation plus client qualification is in docs/agent-onboarding.md; packaging and maintenance guidance is in docs/agent-skill-semantic-scala.md.

For a current repository-sourced installation, select the single canonical skill explicitly:

npx skills add https://github.com/DmytroMitin/scala-semantic-harness --skill semantic-scala

This installs guidance only; install the supported runtime separately. The qualified command, stable catalog metadata, registry boundaries, and native plugin follow-ups are documented in docs/discoverability.md.

Official MCP Registry package

The repository includes a deterministic MCPB packaging surface for the exact 0.1.0-alpha.3 CLI and MCP server. The published Linux x86_64 package carries a package-local Corretto 21 runtime and static entry points, so it does not call an undeclared host java. It preserves ordinary host access to the target Scala workspace and its build tools. Qualification is limited to Linux x86_64 with a compatible GNU-libc environment and system zlib; it is not a claim for every Linux libc or distribution.

The exact bundle is a public Alpha-3 release asset and its active official MCP Registry record is io.github.DmytroMitin/semantic-scala. The maintained manifest and final record are under packaging/mcpb/semantic-scala/ and distribution/mcp-registry/. See docs/mcpb-package.md for the immutable URL and digest, exact-tag build, determinism, validation, and platform boundary.

Agent Plugin package

After staging the CLI and MCP server, generate a fresh relocatable package:

sbt cli/stage mcpServer/stage
python3 scripts/package-agent-plugin.py assemble \
  --output target/agent-plugin/semantic-scala
python3 scripts/package-agent-plugin.py validate \
  --plugin-root target/agent-plugin/semantic-scala

The output is ignored build material, not a checked-in binary distribution or release. It targets the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 working draft and bundles the canonical skill, complete staged CLI, and complete staged exact-eight MCP server. See docs/agent-plugin.md for the package contract, validation level, relocation smoke, and current client-support limits.

Native plugin candidates

The repository also contains deterministic OpenAI/Codex and Claude Code source templates plus an assembler that transforms the exact published Alpha-3 MCPB into native candidates with a package-local Java runtime. Both candidates passed native manifest validation, canonical-skill byte checks, two-build inventory equality, and a relocated no-host-Java exact-eight runtime smoke. Codex CLI 0.154.0 additionally passed a disposable local-marketplace install, skill load, bundled-MCP registration, and one read-only semantic call. Claude Code 2.1.220 passed a disposable local-marketplace install, packaged-skill load, plugin-local MCP connection, and one read-only client-mediated semantic call after an explicit owner login checkpoint. The historical full Claude candidate remains preserved at commit c05aac9f38e7755a51f511078ff555a587f97ccf in DmytroMitin/semantic-scala-claude-plugin, and the rejected thin wrapper remains at 05d4f0de35a02916504bf29156bc42270cf77a23. The existing draft was submitted once on 28 September 2026. Its current status is Needs changes: the reviewer does not allow a Directory plugin to download and execute server code from a GitHub Release after installation, even when checksum-pinned. Public main now contains the skills-only source described below.

The locally qualified no-download candidate is maintained under packaging/claude-embedded-plugin/ and embeds a compact local MCPB directly in the plugin. It has no post-install executable fetch or updater. The runtime remains Alpha-3 while the prepared plugin distribution version is 0.1.0-alpha.3.1. The deterministic MCPB is 145,197,017 bytes, expands to 181,937,037 bytes across 1,952 files, and has SHA-256 6c1c698eaa73b78b9d005cbba4fccffd2e357e721e7f64fbeccdb13bb723d4ed. The six-file ZIP is 144,399,347 bytes, expands to 145,233,144 bytes, and has SHA-256 9004bfa94a3e60618430092bd253ac6354aa64290c3ebad41c2a8f3a6999f2d6. Official MCPB and Claude plugin validation, three byte-identical builds, the full exact-eight compatibility suite, and one isolated installed-client semantic call pass. The candidate is nevertheless blocked for the public Directory: the current pre-submission checklist requires the GitHub archive to be under 50 MiB and every plugin file under 5 MiB. The distribution repository, portal version, submission, and public listing remain unchanged.

A separate contained Claude Directory candidate is maintained under packaging/claude-directory-skills-only-plugin/. It contains only metadata, one small execution skill, a byte-identical copy of the canonical policy, documentation, license, and deterministic inventory. It declares no MCP/CLI runtime, hook, LSP, executable, installer, updater, or allowed-tools; Claude Code uses an independently installed semantic-scala through its ordinary shell permission path. Plugin distribution version 0.1.0-alpha.3.2 keeps exact CLI prerequisite 0.1.0-alpha.3. The six-file source is 41,500 bytes and its deterministic ZIP is 16,392 bytes. Strict plugin validation, contained-package checks, the direct CLI prerequisite matrix, and authenticated installed-client effect-summary, build-backed, missing-CLI, no-tool, and surface cases pass. The exact source is public at distribution commit f28fe7a61ff449c9775d554d5bc9a11e2a9cfda1; its 18,708-byte GitHub archive passes every current hard limit. The existing submission remains Needs changes and still resolves rejected commit 05d4f0d because the portal offers no source refresh without resubmission. No resubmission or listing occurred. See docs/claude-directory-skills-only-plugin.md.

The owner packet under distribution/claude-community/ records the immutable qualification commit and expected human review hold. The owner-approved semantic-scala Privacy Policy is public and exposed from the qualified plugin README. The submitted answers are Reads only, No, Not retained, and No; all four compliance acknowledgements were owner-approved. The private contact value is not retained in this repository.

A separate OpenAI skills-only candidate now lives under packaging/openai-skills-plugin/ without reusing or changing the local-MCP candidate. It packages one narrow read-only effect-summary workflow, an exact canonical-policy reference, and a standard-library-only Python helper. The helper fetches and verifies the fixed Alpha-3 runtime on first approved use, then invokes bin/semantic-scala directly; it contains no MCP configuration and starts no MCP process. Codex CLI 0.157.1 passed disposable marketplace installation, installed-skill loading, packaged-helper invocation, and interpretation of Fixture.value: Option[Int]. Cold acquisition and warm cache-only reuse passed with unchanged fixture bytes. This is local technical qualification, not an OpenAI submission or public listing. Current OpenAI guidance requires partner contact before submitting the local-execution/local-file/offline workflow. The inspected first-party material exposes no generic actionable contact route, so eligibility remains unknown and no Platform draft was created. One original square SVG is owner-approved and wired to both branding fields. The public privacy policy covers the OpenAI/Codex path, first-use download, and separate cache. See docs/openai-skills-only-plugin.md.

The earlier thin candidate remains documented as reviewer-rejected historical evidence in docs/claude-directory-thin-plugin.md. It must not be resubmitted unchanged. See docs/claude-directory-embedded-plugin.md for the locally qualified, no-download package, exact identities, current Claude limits, and the resulting public-Directory blocker. Do not publish this candidate as a Directory source without resolving that blocker.

Examples and benchmarks

Projects under examples/ are external CLI fixtures rather than members of the root sbt build. The normal test suite exercises the compile-success and compile-failure examples through the CLI.

The repository contains a standalone public benchmark subset with methodology, portable prompts, test-coupled fixtures, deterministic validation, and a bounded aggregate. Start at benchmarks/README.md. Historical raw transcripts and controller automation are not part of that subset. The admitted evidence does not establish broad superiority or general benchmark reproducibility beyond its stated small-sample gate.

Current limitations

• The official MCPB package is validated only for Linux x86_64. Other operating systems and architectures require separately built and tested assets. The tested bundle requires a compatible GNU-libc environment and system zlib even though it requires no host Java.
• A generated self-contained Agent Plugins package has bounded structural, official-schema, determinism, and relocated-runtime evidence, but no supported release channel or conformant installed-client adoption proof.
• The OpenAI/Codex and Claude Code native packages are locally validated Linux x86_64 candidates assembled from the exact Alpha-3 MCPB. Both have bounded disposable installed-client skill and MCP-use qualification. They are not public listings or supported public install channels. OpenAI public MCP submission still requires a separately authorized public HTTPS service. The Claude thin source at 05d4f0de35a02916504bf29156bc42270cf77a23 is reviewer-rejected because it downloads executable server bytes after installation. The embedded MCPB removes that download, preserves package-local Java, and passes the full exact-eight compatibility suite plus one isolated client semantic call. It fits the separate 200 MB claude.ai upload rules, but not the public Directory checklist: its 144,399,347-byte GitHub archive exceeds 50 MiB and its 145,197,017-byte MCPB exceeds the 5 MiB per-file limit. The Directory plugin route is therefore blocked pending a different architecture or an explicit reviewer-approved mechanism.
• The separate eight-file OpenAI skills-only candidate is locally validated on Codex CLI 0.157.1 for one direct-CLI effect-summary workflow with no MCP dependency. It is not submitted. OpenAI product-specific review has no discoverable official generic contact route, so eligibility remains unknown. The shared logo/composer SVG is owner-approved and locally validated. Verified publisher identity, Apps Management write access, country selection, and policy attestations remain prerequisites; privacy is public.
• The MCP surface remains the documented eight-tool stdio adapter.
• Source-paired semanticdb-for-source, point-evidence, and reconcile-symbol requests now report snapshot-consistent content freshness. Fresh means the captured source content agrees with the captured SemanticDB document; it does not mean a build ran or that the whole project compiles.
• Stale SemanticDB remains visible but cannot produce completed reconciliation. Unverifiable evidence stays explicit and can complete only as qualified evidence. SemanticDB inventory and coverage still do not establish that every source is covered or fresh.
• Presentation Compiler renderings are bounded evidence, not whole-project compile proof.
• The canonical skill selects symbol-at for one exact Presentation Compiler declaration question and reserves point-evidence for questions where artifact discovery/selection and reconciliation are themselves relevant. Source-sufficient questions still require no semantic query.
• Public-alpha source readiness is separate from binary distribution, installation usability, semantic utility, and skill-adoption evidence.
• The exact 0.1.0-alpha.2 Maven/Coursier application route is independently qualified from the actual project-owned public channel URL and Maven Central under JDK 21. This does not establish Coursier contrib, MCP Registry, MCPB, native/container/npm/PyPI packaging, a stable embeddable-library API, broad Scala compatibility, skill adoption, semantic superiority, or 1.0 stability. The exact alpha-2 source identity is published as a lightweight tag and GitHub prerelease with normal generated source archives and zero uploaded project assets. All 16 formerly flagged license/NOTICE rows are technically dispositioned; the owner selected Apache-2.0 for resolver-fetched JNA 5.14.0. This is not legal advice or authority for another publication action.
• The public repository contains only the audited clean source history. The separate mixed development history remains private and is not a release or installation channel.

See ROADMAP.md for product-oriented next steps.

Current development is validation-first: test real Scala projects, preserve compatibility boundaries, and admit features only from concrete gaps. Real project reports are welcome using the bounded comparison packet in docs/early-feedback.md, especially missing decision-relevant evidence or materially useful composition of compiler, build/test, IDE/LSP, and artifact facts. Both exact Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 packaged routes are independently qualified and retain immutable source-release identity. External early-user feedback is the primary next input for semantic-value admission; the Alpha 4 SNAPSHOT source identity adds no packaged route.
