AsiBackbone 7.5.0 Release Readiness Record

Release date: 2026-10-21

7.5.0 is a backward-compatible minor release for the stable 7.x package family. It restores request trace correlation across endpoint policy and capability evaluation and adds the compatible Core APIs required to carry and copy that identifier.

This record is a pre-tag checklist. Do not create v7.5.0 or publish packages until the release-preparation pull request is merged to protected main and the required hosted checks pass on the release candidate.

Version and compatibility boundary

  • [ ] Directory.Build.props resolves package version 7.5.0.
  • [ ] AssemblyVersion remains 7.0.0.0 and FileVersion is 7.5.0.0.
  • [ ] CITATION.cff and .zenodo.json report version 7.5.0 and release date 2026-10-21.
  • [ ] Template fallback package references use 7.5.0.
  • [ ] NuGet lock files are refreshed for the 7.5.0 in-repository graph.
  • [ ] Documentation release claims identify 7.5.0 as released and current.
  • [ ] Public API baselines contain only the reviewed additive trace-correlation surfaces.

Compatibility review

  • [ ] The existing four-argument GovernanceEvaluationContext constructor remains available.
  • [ ] Existing IGovernanceEvaluationContext implementations compile unchanged through the default TraceId member.
  • [ ] Evaluator-supplied trace identifiers remain authoritative.
  • [ ] Decision outcomes, reasons, policy identifiers, canonical wire values, and persistence schemas are unchanged.
  • [ ] Package IDs, public namespaces, target framework, documented defaults, and binary assembly identity remain compatible.

Local release-candidate validation

  • [ ] Version consistency passes for 7.5.0 and v7.5.0.
  • [ ] Documentation release-claim validation passes for v7.5.0.
  • [ ] Package lock-file, dependency-suppression, API-baseline, architecture, and documentation-continuity validators pass.
  • [ ] Locked restore passes.
  • [ ] Debug and Release builds pass with zero warnings and errors.
  • [ ] The full local test suite passes; provider tests requiring hosted SQL Server or PostgreSQL are covered by service-container CI.
  • [ ] Formatting verification passes.
  • [ ] DocFX completes with zero warnings and errors under --warningsAsErrors.
  • [ ] All eleven stable packages pack as 7.5.0 and pass package metadata/content validation.
  • [ ] Template and clean external-consumer smoke tests pass.

Hosted evidence required before tagging

  • [ ] CI, stable release validation, CodeQL, dependency review, dependency scanning, provider-contention, template smoke, external-consumer, and documentation link validation jobs are green for the release-candidate commit.
  • [ ] The non-publishing package workflow produces the expected package, SBOM, hash, and release-evidence artifacts for maintainer review.
  • [ ] The tag will be created from the validated commit already merged to protected main, after CI on that merge commit has completed.

Post-publish evidence

  • [ ] All eleven packages are visible on NuGet.org at 7.5.0 with expected metadata, README content, icons, and repository commit data.
  • [ ] The GitHub Release contains the required packages, symbols, SBOMs, manifests, hashes, release notes, and provenance evidence.
  • [ ] Source Link and GitHub attestation verification pass against the exact published artifacts.
  • [ ] The documentation site publishes the 7.5.0 release pages and sitemap.
