ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 Publication Evidence - 2026-05-19

This is release-readiness evidence only. It does not create a GitHub release, npm publication, plugin tag, marketplace submission, billing announcement, or social announcement.

Source Commit

Field	Evidence
Upstream main	8148340ad14eb32c971346f0cb4cb9431ec0f5de
Git remote	https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC.git
Evidence scope	Current main after PR #1990 harness-audit GitHub integration scoring, PR #1991 canonical ECC identity gate, PR #1992 release video-suite gate, PR #1993 growth outreach pack, PR #1994 May 19 publication evidence refresh, PR #1995 operator dashboard refresh, PR #1996 primary render self-eval gate, PR #1997 publish-candidate gate, PR #1998 visual QA gate, PR #1999 video dashboard evidence refresh, PR #2000 suite-count evidence refresh, and PR #2001 owner approval packet addition
Local status caveat	git status --short --branch was clean after pulling origin/main; generated evidence files are committed after the source snapshot they describe

The release operator must repeat all publish-facing checks from the exact final release commit with a strictly clean checkout before publishing.

Product And Positioning Evidence

Surface	Evidence
Canonical repo identity	Public URLs and release docs now use https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC where public links are needed
Release claim	Release notes and launch collateral frame ECC as the harness-native operator system for agentic work, not a Claude-only config pack
Video proof	video-suite-production.md gates the local rough render, timeline, captions, source inventory, publish-candidate clip set, self-eval, black-frame QA, and no-private-path publication rules
Growth proof	partner-sponsor-talks-pack.md provides approval-gated copy for sponsors, partners, consulting, talks, podcasts, GitHub Discussion, and video CTAs
Owner approval proof	owner-approval-packet-2026-05-19.md centralizes release, package, plugin, video, billing, social, and outbound decision gates
Business baseline	Hypergrowth command center and partner pack use $1,728/mo current MRR, $10,000/mo target MRR, and $8,272/mo gap
Operator dashboard	operator-readiness-dashboard-2026-05-19.md pulls the growth baseline into the same queue, publication, video, outbound, AgentShield, ECC Tools, Linear, and supply-chain control surface

Current Publication Blockers

• GitHub prerelease v2.0.0-rc.1 is still not created in this pass.
• npm ecc-universal@2.0.0-rc.1 is still not published to the next dist-tag.
• Claude plugin tag and marketplace propagation remain approval-gated.
• Codex repo-marketplace distribution is verified by prior evidence, but official Plugin Directory publishing remains blocked on OpenAI submission or listing evidence.
• ECC Tools billing/native-payments copy remains blocked until a Marketplace Pro purchase/webhook path writes ready production billing state for a target Marketplace test account and the billing announcement gate passes.
• Release notes, X, LinkedIn, GitHub release, GitHub Discussion, longform copy, sponsor outreach, partner outreach, consulting copy, conference pitches, and podcast pitches still need final live URLs plus human approval before posting or sending.
• Discord/community links still need a real invite or bot/guild credential path before public docs should route users there.

Result

The tracked public PR queue, issue queue, discussion queue, canonical ECC identity, release video suite, preview pack, and growth outreach packet are current on May 19, 2026 for main through e7a7b2aaa33c0657cad9db3fa2ced0e636cd0f8c. The remaining video work is owner approval, upload, and public URL attachment, not render or QA production.

This improves publication readiness but does not replace the approval-gated release, package, plugin, billing, Discord, and announcement steps in publication-readiness.md.
