# Chanora Platform Release Policy

**Document status:** DV meeting baseline candidate  
**Date:** 2026-05-29

## 1. Purpose

This policy defines platform release expectations for Chanora candidate builds.

## 2. Platform Policy

| Platform | Minimum release requirement | Current DV state |
|---|---|---|
| Android | Signed release or internal test artifact, target SDK compliance, permission/foreground-service validation | Internal validation only; Android DEK waiver active |
| iOS | Signed TestFlight/App Store build or explicitly unsigned verification build | Unsigned verification build only |
| Windows | Packaged build, smoke result, PTT capability evidence, signing decision | Source-buildable only |
| macOS | Universal build, signing/notarization, PTT capability evidence | Source-buildable only |
| Linux | Packaged build or documented source-build path, portal/fallback PTT evidence | Source-buildable only |

## 3. Release Claim Rule

Release notes and public wording must match the actual artifact and platform capability. A source-buildable platform must not be described as having a finished public binary release.

## 4. DV Conclusion

The platform policy is defined. Current candidate scope remains internal validation and documentation review.
