You can build on v1.0 today without worrying about breaking changes. v1.1 adds five preview profiles + the KYE™ MCP Server reference implementation + capability-scoped Conformance badges. v2.0 is the next major and ships no earlier than Q1 2027 with a 6-month overlap window. Every item below is tagged _shipped_, _in flight_, _scheduled_, or _candidate_ — dates are commitments, not stretch goals. Shipped · April 2026 ## v1.0.0 frozen. 1. v1.0.0 **Core protocol contract** — 10 canonical profiles + 70 rule packs + 61 sector packs + 501 dictionaries, 591 OpenAPI operations, 1165 schemas, 129 examples, 135 conformance fixtures (41 / 41 pass), reference Gateway, three SDKs (TypeScript / Python / Go), CLI, OPA + Cerbos policy bundles. Apache License 2.0. 2. v1.0.0 **Compliance Mapping Rail™** — 289 control mappings across 13 horizontal frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS 4.0, PSD2 / PSD3, DORA, NIS2, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, NIST SP 800-207, NIST CSF 2.0, GDPR, FedRAMP) plus sector overlays. 3. v1.0.0 **Webhook signing profiles** — three profiles (shared-secret, asymmetric, binary CBOR). Test vectors in CI; signing profile names + canonical encoding live in the normative spec. 4. v1.0.0 **Five interactive widgets** — Choose-Your-Role, Agent-Purchase Simulator, Decision Map™ Viewer, Blast Radius Map™, Evidence Pack™ Viewer. In flight · rolling on main ## v1.0.x patch series + Tier-1 readiness pass. 1. v1.0.x **KYE™ Authority Wallet Demo™** — proprietary mobile demo (Expo / React Native). Six screens: Home / Agent / Approval / Decision Map™ / Evidence Pack™ / Developer. Five demo scenarios. Synthetic data only. _Source committed; EAS build wired (workflow\_dispatch ‘Build mobile — KYE™ Authority Wallet Demo™’); Google Play submission pending Console access. Pro version on the v1.1 commercial track._ 2. v1.0.x **Tier-1 readiness hardening** _— rolling, May 2026._ CI supply-chain: dependency-review, gitleaks, signed-commit check, SBOM 90-day retention. Governance docs: GDPR DPA, ROPA, DSR, PCI scope, customer SLA, sub-processor inventory, BCDR tabletop record. Gateway runtime hardening: opt-in inbound auth, rate-limit, request-size limit, structured logging, JSONL persistent audit chain, receiver-side webhook verifier. SDK + CLI hardening: crypto / errors / retry on TS + Python; CLI keystore + sign + verify-webhook. 3. v1.0.x **Marketing-honesty pass** — numeric counts normalised across the site, MCP page tagged as v1.1 roadmap, capability-scoped Conformance badges added to the certification ladder, premature commercial-roadmap disclosure removed. _Shipping incrementally._ Scheduled · v1.1 preview ## Five preview profiles + KYE™ MCP Server + capability-scoped Conformance. Each preview item is gated until its conformance suite is signed off. v1.1 release window: **Q3 2026 target**; per-item dates below are honest targets, not internal stretch goals. 1. v1.1 **Conformance Certification Program** — program-level badge issuance + verification record schema + public registry. Post-: lands as the `conformance-certification` rule pack + `badge-levels` dictionary, evaluated by KYE™ Rules Gateway™. _Target: Q3 2026._ 2. v1.1 **Authority Graph™ normative model** — graph\_node, graph\_edge, decision\_map schemas + graph-query endpoint surface. Post-: lands as the `graph` dictionary + graph-traversal additions to the `runtime-authority` profile. _Target: Q3 2026._ 3. v1.1 **Payload Trust™ lifecycle** — payload-artefact lifecycle + trust binding. Post-: folds into the `action-admissibility` rule pack + `pep` profile enforcement path. _Target: Q3 2026._ 4. v1.1 **Self-Audit Attestation** — signed self-attestation envelope (Ed25519 / JWS) covering the L2 ladder rung. Post-: folds into the `evidence-replay` profile + `compliance-evidence` rule pack. _Target: Q3 2026._ 5. v1.1 **Cross-rule-pack taxonomy + metadata-binding** — the canonical metadata model that every rule pack consumes. Post-: consolidated into the 12 canonical [dictionaries](https://kyeprotocol.com/dictionaries/); v1.1 adds the cross-pack binding schema. _Target: Q3 2026._ 6. v1.1 **KYE™ MCP Server reference implementation** — 10 read-only tools, 5 decision tools, 8 admin tools (gated by default); MCP resources + prompts. _Target: Q3 2026; design specification at [mcp.html](https://kyeprotocol.com/mcp/)._ 7. v1.1 **Capability-scoped Conformance badges** — KYE™ Core Conformant™, KYE™ Authority Conformant™, KYE™ Capability Conformant™, KYE™ Evidence Conformant™. _Target: Q3 2026 with the public registry._ 8. v1.1 **Postgres adapter for the audit chain** — production persistence behind the same interface as the JSONL adapter shipped in v1.0.x. _Target: Q3 2026._ 9. v1.1 **Healthcare conformance fixtures** — profile-specific fixtures so the Healthcare profile can earn its own Conformant™ badge. _Target: Q3 2026._ Candidates · v2.0 horizon ## Under consideration for the next major. v2.0 is a future major release with breaking changes. Candidate items below are _under consideration_, not committed; final scope sets at the v2.0 RFC opening (target: Q1 2027). The v1.x → v2.x migration window will be at least 6 months with overlap support. 1. v2.0? **Distributed signal bus** — durable, federated CAEP / SSF-compatible signal delivery with cross-domain receipts. 2. v2.0? **Authority Graph™ traversal engine** — production graph-query engine + decision-map materialisation behind the v1.1 schemas. 3. v2.0? **Hardware-attested key-rotation** — native HSM / TPM integration replacing the in-memory KeyRing in the reference Gateway. 4. v2.0? **Federated entity resolution** — cross-trust-domain entity discovery without a central registry. 5. v2.0? **OSCAL component-definition exporter** — one-click projection of a deployed Gateway into the auditor’s SSP.

Enterprise integration timing? Pick the “Roadmap” topic in the contact form. Versioning policy ## SemVer commitment. - **Major (v2.0)** — breaking change to a normative schema, OpenAPI op, or decision code. 12 months minimum between majors; 6 months overlap support. - **Minor (v1.x)** — additive normative change. Backward compatible; conformance pack pinned per minor. - **Patch (v1.0.x)** — behaviour-preserving fix. No schema or wire-format change. - **Preview** — profiles or features published on main but tagged “preview” until their conformance suite freezes. Preview features may change incompatibly until promoted. For the dated, human-readable release log see [changelog.html](https://kyeprotocol.com/changelog/).
