 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.41.1] - 2026-07-15
+
+Reproducibility patch: `--reproducible` output no longer depends on the input
+file path.
+
+**Falsification:** if the input path leaked into the output again,
+`test_reproducible_attestation_is_byte_stable` fails — it now asserts that
+byte-identical input under two different paths fuses to the same sha, while the
+non-reproducible control still differs.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`--reproducible` was still path-dependent (#341).** #325 removed the
+  random-UUID/wall-clock nondeterminism, but the caller-supplied component name
+  (the CLI passes the input file *path*) still leaked into the output via the
+  attestation input descriptor and the provenance `component_id`, so
+  byte-identical components at different paths fused to different sha256s. Under
+  `--reproducible`, the input identifier is now the positional `component-{index}`
+  (path/filename-independent); the input's content stays pinned by its sha256.
+  Two CI checkouts / temp dirs fusing the same component now agree — restoring
+  the re-verifiable, sigil-signable attestation the jess/Pixhawk first-flash
+  image set needs.
+

+    title: Reproducible output depends only on input content
+    description: >
+      With `--reproducible`, the fused artifact shall be byte-identical for
+      byte-identical INPUT CONTENT, independent of anything not derived from that
+      content: no random state, no wall-clock, and no caller-supplied path/name.
+      (#325) The attestation id shall be derived from the output content and the
+      timestamp from `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` (default epoch 0) rather than a random
+      UUID + wall clock. (#341) The caller-supplied component name — which the
+      CLI populates from the input FILE PATH — shall NOT leak into the output:
+      under `--reproducible` the input identifier in the attestation input
+      descriptor and the provenance `component_id` shall be the positional
+      `component-{index}`, with the input's content still pinned by its sha256
+      (`original_hash`). Rationale: two parties, CI checkouts, or temp dirs
+      fusing the same component must obtain the same sha for a re-verifiable,
+      sigil-signable attestation (jess/Pixhawk first-flash image set). Off the
+      `--reproducible` path the human-friendly name is retained.

+        `test_reproducible_attestation_is_byte_stable` (meld-core/src/lib.rs,
+        default features): reproducible fusion is byte-identical across
+        independent runs (#325); byte-identical input under two DIFFERENT paths
+        (`/tmp/pa/falcon.wasm` vs `/tmp/pb/falcon.wasm`) fuses to the SAME output
+        under `--reproducible` (#341, was different pre-fix); the
+        non-reproducible control differs (random attestation id + retained name),
+        so the flag is not a no-op. Path leak closed at all three output sites
+        (default attestation descriptor, wsc `InputArtifact`, provenance
+        `component_id`).
