+          This release freezes the first citable BPFCompat empirical compatibility
+          dataset and its reproducibility evidence.
+
+          **Release commit:** \`${GITHUB_SHA}\`
+
+          **Canonical pilot collection**
+          - 70/70 planned executions observed
+          - 50 compatible, 13 incompatible, 7 inconclusive
+          - canonical workflow run: \`35393833464\`
+          - canonical Actions artifact: \`10566859006\`
+
+          **Repeat stability sample**
+          - 21/21 same-exact-environment observations stable
+          - 0 environment drift
+          - 0 same-environment verdict instability
+          - canonical workflow run: \`35445834557\`
+          - canonical Actions artifact: \`10584409793\`
+
+          **Archive lock**
+          - 668 payload files
+          - 27,743,323 uncompressed payload bytes
+          - manifest SHA-256: \`6ed6d38d57db57e75964829278a62c7bb4a12cd8fc5db97baebb05a1fdd5e927\`

+
+          The compiled cilium/ebpf project loader and Falco \`scap-open\` binary
+          are intentionally excluded from the DOI-style payload and retained as
+          reproducible identity/contract records because the v1 redistribution
+          review did not establish a complete transitive binary notice set.
+
+          The release includes the machine-readable per-file manifest, compact
+          archive lock, deterministic payload ZIP, and release checksums. GitHub
+          artifact attestations are generated for all four files.
+
+          This is a reproducibility release of the pilot study evidence; it is
+          not a claim of peer review or institutional endorsement.
