 ## Memory Safety & Concurrency
 The library is fully thread-safe. Global tracking statistics (`g_anchor_stats`) and self-optimization models (`g_optimization_db`) are protected by POSIX mutexes (`pthread_mutex_t`). Safe memory allocation strategies (preventing use-after-free conditions) are strictly enforced during vector alignment and Hilbert space projections.
 
+## CI/CD and Robustness
+The ecosystem includes a automated CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions that verifies:
+-   **Multi-Architecture Compilation:** Ensuring the core library builds on standard Linux environments.
+-   **Graceful Fallback:** A specialized audit script (`scripts/verify_fallback.sh`) confirms the search engine remains functional using CPU SIMD even when high-performance drivers (OpenVINO/CUDA) are missing.
