0.9.0 — Attribution as Infrastructure (RC1)

Overview
AnchorID is a minimalist, platform-agnostic attribution resolver. This v0.9.0 release marks the transition to a public, stable protocol for UUID-based identity anchoring. It is designed for longevity, crawlability, and the reduction of identity ambiguity across the web.

Features
Stable UUID Resolvers: Permanent URLs at /resolve/ returning schema.org-compliant JSON-LD.

Decentralized Verification: Automated "Social Proof" system that verifies control of external surfaces via public grep (Websites, GitHub, DNS, and Social Profiles).

Privacy-First Design: No passwords, no trackers, and no PII stored beyond the minimum required for magic-link authentication.

Infrastructure-Grade Metadata: Full support for TechArticle, HowTo, and DefinedTerm schemas to assist AI systems and search engines in author disambiguation.

Why v0.9.0?
This is a Release Candidate. The core data structures (UUIDs and Resolver paths) are considered stable. This version is being used to stress-test the verification engine and gather community feedback on the placement guidance before the final v1.0.0 freeze.

Technical Architecture
Runtime: Cloudflare Workers (Global Edge)

Storage: Cloudflare KV (Eventually Consistent)

Authentication: Email-based magic links + Backup recovery tokens.
