+
+Minor protocol and reference-tooling release.

+- Added the optional Observation profile, promoting `epistemicStatus`, `temporalCharacter`, and `signalKind` after independent use in Cosmoaudition System and GERM.
+- Kept value availability, source health, freshness, confidence, method, disclosure, and observation metadata as separate axes; a declared Observation profile requires all three new axes on every Observation.
+- Added RFC 0002, versioned 0.2.0 specification/schema/ontology/context/example/conformance resources, and an invalid fixture proving incomplete Observation metadata is refused.
+- Preserved every 0.1.0 normative resource and evidence snapshot unchanged. Migration creates a new attributable revision; it does not rewrite an earlier record in place.
+- Corrected conformance migration reporting for the second protocol line: 0.2.0 evidence says `not_tested` rather than claiming migration is not applicable.
+- Updated the TypeScript reference packages, CLI, MCP resources, capability catalog, and package artifacts to 0.2.0.

 ## 0.1.1 - 2026-08-09
 
 Patch release of the TypeScript reference implementation. The normative MASA protocol, schemas, capability-set format, profile directories, and record/request version fields remain `0.1.0`.

 **MASA** is a project-agnostic Sound Matter Aware protocol. It provides a local-first, language-neutral contract for systems that need to describe, listen to, measure, transform, granulate, dissect, generate, map, relate, govern, and exchange sound as matter without confusing an audio file, a physical event, a perceptual account, or a computational claim. Conformance never depends on any other repository.
 
-Protocol version `0.1.0` is the first public specification, MIT-licensed and open to any project. Its normative sources are the specification, JSON Schemas, ontology registries, and conformance fixtures in this repository. The current TypeScript reference-tooling release is `0.1.1`; tooling patches do not rename or silently revise the normative `0.1.0` resources.

-The reference implementation records separate evidence for the `reader`, `writer`, `transformer`, `agent-host`, and `publisher` classes in [`conformance/0.1.0/evidence`](conformance/0.1.0/evidence). The current local run reports all five classes conformant on Node.js 22.22.3 for macOS arm64 against fixture-manifest digest `7f57b4870c2414936114ce906258e1d4816be340d1c3c591cb95eec80bc9cdea`. The digest is refreshed from the examples, specification, capability catalog, schemas, ontology registries, JSON-LD context, and executable conformance runner whenever evidence is intentionally recorded.

 Run `pnpm check` to regenerate derived code and verify conformance on the current machine. Run `pnpm conformance:evidence` only when intentionally recording a new local evidence snapshot. Conformance is always specific to an implementation version, MASA version, profile, class, platform, and exact fixture set; it is not a universal certification.
