ForkCell 0.1.0a2

ForkCell 0.1.0a2 preview focuses on benchmark evidence, receipt safety, and the first restore-path latency cut.

Highlights:

• Adds representative agent-workspace benchmarks via scripts/benchmark_typical_scenarios.py.
• Updates README and docs/evidence-summary.md with native/local/volume performance data.
• Makes native-overlay log collection best-effort non-blocking by default; use --sync-logs for policy/event tests that need to wait for OCSF/log events.
• Adds scripts/validate_security_bindings.py and CI coverage for common secret-file exclusion plus policy/checkpoint receipt binding.
• Excludes common local secret files from source import: .env, .env.*, .ssh, .aws, *.pem, *.key.

Representative macOS + Docker Desktop numbers:

backend	scenario	files	restore path
native-overlay	small repo	500	550ms
native-overlay	medium webapp	2408	445ms
native-overlay	dependency/cache	6024	490ms
local-overlay	dependency/cache	6024	243ms restore
volume-delta	dependency/cache	6024	418ms restore

Boundary note: native-overlay still reports restore_sync_ms=0ms for the workspace substrate. Full governed restore path includes OpenShell sandbox lifecycle and delete; this is not a claim of <60ms fully serviceable MicroVM sandbox startup.

ForkCell 0.1.0a1

ForkCell 0.1.0a1 clarifies the preview install paths and updates PyPI package metadata.

Changes:

• README now separates PyPI Quickstart from Source Runtime Quickstart.
• PyPI path documents the directly installable local overlay rollback demo.
• Source runtime path documents the full patched OpenShell governed-runtime demo.
• Package metadata now includes project URLs and uses SPDX license syntax.

Validation:

• ./scripts/validate_public_smoke.sh passes.
• PyPI-style local overlay rollback demo passes with Decision: restored.
• forkcell.__version__ reports 0.1.0a1.

ForkCell v0.1.0-preview

ForkCell v0.1.0-preview is the first public source preview of BeforeWire's governed execution-cell layer for AI agents.

This preview includes:

• fast workspace checkpoint/restore control plane;
• OpenShell-backed governed runtime integration via pinned submodule;
• native overlay restore path with metadata generation switching;
• policy/checkpoint/runtime receipt binding;
• accept/restore/fork decision artifacts;
• English and Chinese README docs;
• public smoke workflow and release validation script.

Validated release path:

• unauthenticated git clone --recurse-submodules works;
• ./scripts/validate_public_smoke.sh passes;
• patched OpenShell CLI/gateway/supervisor build passes on macOS + Docker Desktop;
• README restore-on-fail demo records Decision: restored;
• latest tiny-workspace receipt reports checkpoint duration: 0ms, restore duration: 0ms, restore_sync_ms: 0ms, and total_restore_path_ms: 726ms.

Runtime fork:

• beforewire/openshell@393c25a86d9128ff5e38ecf537809efe58470266
• tag: forkcell-runtime-v0.1.3-preview

Boundary notes:

• this is a source preview, not a VM/MicroVM product;
• ForkCell owns the transaction/checkpoint/receipt layer;
• OpenShell remains the sandbox/policy/egress enforcement runtime;
• restore_sync_ms=0ms describes the synchronous restore substrate, not the full sandbox lifecycle.
