ShadowBroker Mesh Claims Reconciliation

This file maps high-level release claims to implementation status for v0.9.7. It exists to prevent the public README from promising stronger privacy or security than the code provides.

Claim	Status	Implementation Notes
InfoNet is a decentralized intelligence mesh.	Supported as testnet	Mesh routing, signed events, peer sync, gate personas, and Wormhole relay code are present, but deployment topology is still experimental.
Gate chat is private.	Not supported	Gate chat is obfuscated and signed, not end-to-end private. Public claims must say "obfuscated" rather than "private".
Dead Drop DMs are the strongest current private lane.	Supported with caveats	DM mailboxes, token handling, SAS/contact verification, sealed payloads, and witness/root transparency code exist. The lane is still experimental and should not be described as confidently private.
Sovereign Shell governance is public.	Supported	Governance events are signed public records and should be documented as observable.
Function Keys provide anonymous citizenship proof.	Partial	Nullifiers, challenge-response, receipts, denial codes, and settlement scaffolding exist. Blind-signature issuance is not complete.
RingCT, stealth addresses, shielded balances, and DEX privacy are live.	Not supported	Protocol interfaces and Rust integration targets exist, but final primitives are not selected, wired, and audited.
v0.9.6 users can auto-update to v0.9.7.	Supported if release asset is attached	The v0.9.6 updater requires a .zip release asset. The v0.9.7 release must attach ShadowBroker_v0.9.7.zip. Future v0.9.7+ updaters can use GitHub zipball_url.
Docker users should update by pulling images.	Supported	The v0.9.7 updater detects Docker/runtime contexts and returns Docker pull instructions instead of attempting in-place extraction.
