# SKU.md v1.0.0 changelog

`1.0.0` is a clean break from v0.10. It replaces YAML-frontmatter manifests, partitions, commerce profiles, authority maps, offer snapshots, and JSON Schema fields with two small pure-Markdown documents: a root catalog and source-backed product knowledge.

No v0.10 document is implicitly compatible with v1, and this release adds no alias, fallback, migration, or conversion contract. The frozen v0.x specifications and examples remain separate immutable archives.

Specification versions and tool versions are independent. A validator, generator, MCP service, or Agent Skill may have its own release number and must identify the exact SKU.md specification version it evaluates or produces.

## v1.0.0 — 2026-10-22

The active wire version is `1.0.0`; the specification was released on 2026-10-22. This release does not assert external interoperability or platform adoption. Tool-package release status remains independent.

- Adds pure-Markdown `Product data` records for identity, explicit variants, scoped typed attributes, evidence quotations and review state, and live-system links.
- Adds shared audit, deterministic condition evaluation, and reviewed export proposals for the local CLI and Skill; read-only MCP audit/evaluation accepts submitted content.
- Separates Sitemap protocol capacity from bounded consumer coverage, supports one index layer, and preserves incomplete coverage. Root discovery remains primary; a homepage declaration is considered only after an exact root 404.
- Keeps `1.0.0-beta` and v0.x resources frozen and separately addressable. Active tools accept only `1.0.0`; there is no legacy mode or automatic conversion.
