# Public packaging notes

This is the public distribution of the completed **v3.0.0** research, prepared 2026-09-19. Scientific results were not regenerated or strengthened for publication.

- The 48-page consolidated PDF, complete manuscript, simulation source, raw scientific results, figures and source research documents retain their original bytes.
- Private source retrieval identifiers were removed from `provenance/sources.json` and the corresponding v2 snapshot metadata. Scientific source hashes remain available.
- The historical manuscript and source audit describe retention of the original v2 archive in the original research package. **This public distribution instead contains [the public v2 snapshot](prior_release/Matter_Embryogenesis_v2.0.0_Public_Snapshot.zip)**. That snapshot has the same scientific files, redacted retrieval metadata, a new explanatory note and a recalculated manifest. It is not byte-identical to the original archive.
- The original v3 README is retained as [docs/ORIGINAL_V3_README.md](docs/ORIGINAL_V3_README.md). Historical archive statements there have the same qualification.
- New publication files provide navigation, dataset exports, schemas, examples and uploader validation. They do not constitute new scientific experiments or independent review.
- The public full archive excludes itself and its external checksum wrappers to avoid recursive packaging. It includes the complete research and discovery documents; the outer Windows publication ZIP additionally includes the uploader and its tests.

Original v2 archive SHA256: `fd1daecfa4b196ad03720faa6c270a34527c4ec34a1ccf32e8a5cbb826709a7b`.

Original v3 PDF SHA256: `c1cefe3b76c505e8736c55917eed062078e04a41e4f2a96eaaa5a911a402fb11`.

`results/package_validation.json` is the historical research validation report. Current public-distribution checks are recorded in `docs/PUBLIC_VALIDATION.json`. Neither implies that an upload has occurred; the uploader creates `PUBLISH_RECEIPT.json` only after verifying the remote commit.
