RELEASE NOTES

Sentinel v5.0.0

Released 24 July 2026. The authenticated console and Local Origin workflow define v5.

Highlights

  • authenticated Web Operations Console
  • one-time request-bound policy confirmation
  • queue-to-scanner transport validation
  • eleven capability-declared plugins
  • process supervision and forensic verification

Compatibility

KFIF remains 0.1 with backward-compatible optional fields. Existing CLI and report flows remain available.

Known limits

K-Shield v5 is a local-first single-node platform, not a hardened multi-tenant distributed control plane. Python mediation is not a kernel syscall sandbox; arbitrary third-party code remains outside some built-in guarantees.

External WORM storage needs an adapter. HA backends and some operator functions remain incomplete or CLI/service-manager oriented.
