-- CompTextv7 is a deterministic operational replay-validation research prototype.
+- CompText V7 is the deterministic replay-integrity layer for compressed operational agent traces.
 - Current focus: core foundation, deterministic replay artifacts, CI artifacts, docs, and conservative positioning.
 - Showcase work is paused unless explicitly requested.
 - Chilli/Hatch/Pet assets must not be touched unless explicitly requested.

-CompTextv7 is a deterministic operational replay-validation and state-survivability prototype. It asks whether compact, replay-safe operational state can preserve the fixture-defined evidence, constraints, blockers, dependencies, recovery paths, and tool-order signals needed to review continuation after compression and reconstruction. The project is complementary to learned context-compression research, RAG evaluation, vector-memory systems, serving-layer cache optimization, and durable workflow infrastructure, but it does not replace those systems or claim solved AI memory.
