docs: add public CHANGELOG with v80.0.0 "Sunlance" GA notes (#2 )

New public-facing CHANGELOG.md: v80 1.0 GA highlights (ALFRED v6.0,
GRIMOIRE 1.0 / 108 labs, 209 crates, post-quantum default, capability-gated
kernel interface) plus a thematic v61->v80 road-to-1.0 summary and a brief
v60 "Sun & Salt" prior-line note. Linked from FOR_RECRUITERS further reading.

IP discipline: per-subsystem mechanics intentionally withheld; public-safe
milestones only.

Changelog

Public-facing release notes for Syn_OS. Format adapted from Keep a Changelog.

This is the curated public changelog. It records milestones and the shape of the work — not the internal subsystem mechanics, which live with the source ahead of public release.

[80.0.0] — 2026-05-22 — "Sunlance" (1.0 GA)

The 1.0 general-availability release. "Sunlance" closes the v61 → v80 campaign — twenty consecutive releases of compounding work — and marks the point at which the platform's core is considered generally available.

GA consolidation

ALFRED v6.0 — the AI daemon consolidated for GA. Local-first inference, no cloud in the critical path, with stronger guardrails around any autonomous behavior.
GRIMOIRE 1.0 — the training catalog reached 1.0: 108 hand-authored labs across 13 categories, integrity-manifest enforced.
209-crate Rust workspace, zero compile errors.
synos-ops operator TUI expanded to a 23-tab dashboard.
Post-quantum by default — hybrid ML-KEM / ML-DSA across the system's transport and signing surfaces, with SLH-DSA in the trust toolkit.

Changed — kernel AI interface

The earlier custom-syscall approach is retired — those numbers now collide with upstream Linux 6.19. The kernel AI/observability surface is now a capability-gated, signed Rust kernel-module interface: real, loadable, QEMU-boot-validated modules. Access is root-only and capability-gated, and the build hard-fails without a kernel signing key.

The road to 1.0 (v61 → v80)

The GA is the sum of twenty releases. At a public level, the load-bearing themes:

Kernel AI interface re-architected and hardened — signed modules, capability gates, root-only device access.
Post-quantum became the default, not an option, across transport and signing.
Supply-chain trust deepened — signed modules enforced, content-pinned packages, build-from-source attestation.
GRIMOIRE catalog matured to 1.0 — more labs, more categories, faction and cohort play hardened.
ALFRED consolidated to v6.0 — privacy-first posture, tighter guardrails.
Mesh opt-in — consent-gated public-hive participation.

The granular, per-subsystem record is intentionally not published here. Like the Operator image's capability surface (see FEATURES.md), the mechanics of the platform's differentiating subsystems stay with the source ahead of public release.

[60.x] — "Sun & Salt" (prior line)

The v60 "Sun & Salt" line was the prior public generation — a custom Linux 6.19 kernel with deep Rust integration, the ALFRED daemon, the GRIMOIRE training platform, the Arcanum Hive mesh, post-quantum cryptography, and a self-healing, reproducible build pipeline producing signed ISOs. v61 → v80 built on that foundation to reach 1.0 GA.
