+### Changed
+
+- README rewritten: format table, architecture map, benchmark results, binding instructions, φ-FMA reference, IGLA overview
+- Version alignment across all packages: Rust crate 1.1.0 → 2.0.0, Python 1.0.0 → 2.0.0, C header 1.1.0 → 2.0.0
+
+## [2.1.0] — 2026-04-30
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **phi_attention.zig** — Zig 0.16 compatibility: expand single-line `for..if` to block form for mutable captures
+- **trinity_constants.zig** — LR schedule warmup boundary: `step < N` → `step <= N` so `lr(warmup_steps) == LR_INIT` exactly
+- **jepa_t.zig** — correct GF16 budget assertion: total ≈ 16.4 MB (embedding 7.2M + 9 layers × 150K params); relax to 17 MB
+- **bf16 encoder** — validated post-fix via BENCH-010: gf16 outperforms bf16 by 16× on all distributions
+- **bench_007b_extended_range.rs** — extended with φ-distributed inputs and Pearson correlation analysis
+
+### Added

+- **Benchmark results** — `.trinity/results/bench_007b.log`, `bench_008.log`, `bench_010.log` committed

-## What is GoldenFloat?
-
-GoldenFloat is a family of floating-point formats where the mantissa/exponent ratio approximates φ (golden ratio = 1.618...). The flagship format, **GF16** (`[1:6:9]` = 1 sign, 6 exp, 9 mantissa), has a mantissa/exponent ratio of `9/6 = 1.5`, which deviates from φ by exactly `α_φ = 0.118034` — the same value as the strong coupling constant `α_s(mZ)` from particle physics (PDG 2024).
-
-This three-way closure — `{GF16 format, α_s coupling, LR_init} = α_φ` — is the mathematical foundation of the IGLA-GF16 neural architecture.
