Compatibility

KFIF 1.0 is the stable producer format. Legacy 0.1 remains accepted read-only; existing CLI and report flows remain available.

Historical continuity

v5.0.0 remains an immutable signed historical GA release. Its anonymous archive distribution is withdrawn, not revoked; verification material remains available.

Known limits

KFIF Enterprise v5 is a local-first single-node platform, not a hardened multi-tenant distributed control plane. Python mediation is not a kernel syscall sandbox; arbitrary third-party code remains outside some built-in guarantees.

External WORM storage needs an adapter. HA backends and some operator functions remain incomplete or CLI/service-manager oriented.
