No changes to the protocol or to how messages are protected. This release tidies the documentation and fixes a version string.
Fixed
The version shown in the application header was written as a literal and had
fallen behind, displaying v5.6.0 while running 5.7.1. It now comes from
package.json, so it cannot drift again, and a test fails the build if anyone
reintroduces a hard-coded one. The same test checks that meta.json, the README
badge, the changelog and the documentation all agree before a release goes out.
Documentation
Everything technical now lives in doc/ with an index at doc/README.md. The
repository root keeps only what belongs there by convention: README.md,
SECURITY.md, CHANGELOG.md and LICENSE.
SECURITY.mdrewritten. It described a supported release line three major versions out of date and made claims the software does not make. It now states what is guaranteed, what is not, and how to report a problem.SECURITY_DISCLAIMER.mdandRESPONSIBLE_USE.mdmerged intodoc/USE-POLICY.md, which says plainly what the software cannot protect against instead of listing generic advice.doc/ARCHITECTURE.md(formerlySECURITY-ARCHITECTURE.md) rewritten around the session lifecycle, what verification gates, and how recovery works.doc/CRYPTOGRAPHY.mdrewritten: key schedule, the Double Ratchet, frame format and memory handling, with every value taken from the source.doc/CONFIGURATION.mdrewritten with the real file-type policy, ICE and TURN guidance, and the deployment caching rules that actually matter.- Call tuning notes moved to
doc/CALLS.mdand rewritten. The obsoletedocs/directory has been removed. doc/CONTRIBUTING.mdrecords what recent regressions taught us about writing tests that can actually fail.
