+# Kaspa Sovereign Architect Engine v1.5.0 - Toccata R&D Intelligence
+
+This release upgrades the skill from Toccata awareness to Toccata research and development intelligence.
+
+## Added
+
+- Toccata R&D Playbook:
+  - `skills/public/kaspa-sovereign-architect-engine/references/toccata-rd-playbook.md`
+- Deep Toccata R&D intelligence corpus:
+  - `training-corpus/kaspa-toccata-rd-intelligence-2026.md`
+- Toccata R&D Intelligence response mode in the core skill.
+- README links and example prompt for Toccata research.
+
+## Improved
+
+- Source inventory now includes deeper official and research sources:
+  - Rusty Kaspa `toccata`, `tn10`, and `tn12` branches
+  - Rusty Kaspa PR #1000 and PR #1013
+  - KIP-16, KIP-17, KIP-20, and KIP-21 PRs
+  - Kaspa docs programmability source files
+  - vProgs architecture, computation DAG, pruning safety, proof stitching, and based ZK rollup research threads
+- Research radar now tracks branch status, PR base branches, ZK SDK/example work, and vProg scope/pruning risks.
+- Source trust policy now warns that feature-branch merges are not stable/mainnet evidence.
+- Manifest bumped to `1.5.0`.
+
+## Research Outcome
+
+- Toccata is classified as active or always-active on TN12 and past activation on TN10.
+- Mainnet activation remains unverified and must not be claimed as live.
+- Toccata implementation evidence is tracked through Rusty Kaspa PR #1000 and related feature branches.
+- KIP-16, KIP-17, KIP-20, and KIP-21 are tracked as open KIP PRs until merged to `kaspanet/kips` `master`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `node skills/public/kaspa-sovereign-architect-engine/scripts/validate-compatibility.mjs --all`
+- `git diff --check`
+

+## Toccata R&D Intelligence
+
+- Use `references/toccata-rd-playbook.md` for Toccata, covenants, SilverScript, ZK opcodes, sequencing commitments, Based Apps, and vProgs.
+- Treat Toccata as branch-sensitive and network-sensitive:
+  - `master`
+  - `toccata`
+  - `tn10`
+  - `tn12`
+  - release tags
+  - PR base branches
+- Always separate:
+  - mainnet
+  - TN10
+  - TN12
+  - branch-only code
+  - open PRs
+  - merged-to-feature-branch PRs
+  - KIP PRs
+  - docs
+  - research forum design
+  - experimental tooling
+- For Toccata claims, record at minimum:
+  - audit date
+  - Rusty Kaspa `master` hash
+  - Rusty Kaspa `toccata` hash
+  - Rusty Kaspa PR #1000 state
+  - Rusty Kaspa PR #1013 state
+  - KIP-16, KIP-17, KIP-20, and KIP-21 states
+  - TN10/TN12 activation evidence when claiming testnet behavior
+- Convert evidence into build tracks:
+  - covenant lab
+  - SilverScript examples
+  - covenant lineage indexer
+  - wallet signing preview
+  - ZK proof-cost model
+  - sequencing witness model
+  - vProg scope simulator
+
