Final positioning per decision: provework is an open-source experimental research engine and benchmark harness for distributed verifiable compute — not a product.

  • README rewritten to lead with the measured envelopes (meta-emulation tax 322–362×; V2 94× fewer cycles, 2.8 s GPU / 80.5 s CPU proof; the 24 GB VRAM floor explained by the measured 26.1 GB peak), state what the repo is and what it is not (no commercial claim; coordinator trusted; no NAT traversal; integer-only envelope), and label the quickstart as reproduction steps.
  • DESIGN.md records the market-search outcome (each hypothesis and its evidence-based elimination) and the freeze decision.
  • Code frozen at v0.2.0: no application layer, no MCP wrapper, no HTTP API.

Docs-only change; CI skipped by the changes job.

README rewritten: leads with the measured envelopes (meta-emulation
tax 322-362x, V2 94x / 2.8s GPU proof, the 24 GB VRAM floor), states
what the repo is (experimental research engine + benchmark harness)
and what it is not (product; no commercial claim; coordinator trusted;
no NAT traversal; integer-only envelope), and relabels the quickstart
as reproduction steps. DESIGN.md records the market-search outcome and
the freeze decision.
