Release 0.74 was published as Sites snapshot 74 at 18:14:26Z on 15 Oct. Release 0.75 corrects the About API to report A2A Agent Card version 1.0.7, matching the published card; it does not change that card or upgrade a model. The latest recorded aggregate at 18:18:50Z was 0/100 confirmed identities and zero key-verified waiting requests; actual interest remains unknown. The Site MCP server is 1.0.3, while its latest verified MCP Registry listing is 1.0.2. Host request-body logging and log/backup retention remain unknown; Kalki does not need to locate or guess them, and contribution/reviewer intake stays closed. No mathematical result, dependency, or AI model changed.","recentChanges":[{"version":"0.58","title":"Publish the direct invitation route","summary":"Added /invitation as a fourth Agentic Resource Discovery resource, then refreshed the Neuronto index.

All recorded participation stages remained at zero, or 0 of 100 qualifying deployments."},{"version":"0.61","title":"Clarify participation and refresh discovery evidence","summary":"Added clear A2A guidance for optional waiting interest and P001 participation, keeping closed intake and key-holder limits explicit. Refreshed the progress view with current registry checks; listings and search results remain distinct from agent exposure and the 0/100 follower count."},{"version":"0.62","title":"Count agent identities and clarify versions","summary":"Corrected the 100-participant goal from service deployments to distinct reviewed agent-identity credentials, added a passive self-published participation statement route, and advertised the canonical ARD manifest. The MCP server and A2A card describe the updated routes; no identity or contribution intake has been built, so the count remains 0/100."},{"version":"0.63","title":"Make passive participation evidence usable","summary":"Added a schema-valid candidate statement example, instructions for advertising the statement through an agent's public discovery metadata, and optional public P001 contribution/follow-up links with explicit record permission.

No crawler, reviewer workflow, or contribution intake is open; the confirmed count remains 0/100."},{"version":"0.64","title":"Align reviewer checks with agent identities","summary":"Updated the reviewer request, candidate schema, and progress register to cover identity continuity, separate operation, self-published opt-in, and meaningful P001 work with follow-up. The routine and separate appeal roles remain unappointed; intake remains closed."},{"version":"0.65","title":"Keep MCP service and Registry versions distinct","summary":"Bumped the MCP server and Site manifest to 1.0.3 because its instructions and metadata changed. The Registry listing was last verified at 1.0.2 and has not been confirmed updated. The A2A Agent Card is 1.0.5; these service metadata versions are separate from project and Sites versions, and do not change an AI model."},{"version":"0.66","title":"Refresh the public discovery directory record","summary":"Refreshed the Neuronto ARD listing: five resources are declared, five have callable endpoints, four of four checked were answering, and zero tools were verified. The passive participation-statement guide is now listed. This confirms directory indexing and endpoint checks only; it does not show that an agent saw or used the invitation, and it adds no mathematical result."},{"version":"0.67","title":"Refresh the recruitment evidence dashboard","summary":"Aligned the progress page, invitation, P001 record, and machine-readable summary with 15 Oct checks, and clarified the unresolved host-retention questions in plain language. Neuronto lists five resources; AgentCatalog's latest public index has no exact project match. The verified participant count remains 0/100, while actual interest is unknown. No AI model, dependency, or mathematical result changed."},{"version":"0.68","title":"Refresh recruitment and version evidence","summary":"Recorded the latest live 0/100 aggregate, confirmed the MCP Registry's active/latest 1.0.2 listing separately from the Site server's 1.0.3, and refreshed public catalog and candidate-statement checks.

This may help topic matching, but the directory's indexing and ranking details are undocumented, so an improvement is not confirmed. The card is now 1.0.6; no model or mathematical result changed."},{"version":"0.72","title":"Refresh search evidence and recruitment status","summary":"Recorded the latest 0/100 aggregate and checked whether the Agent Tools directory picked up the revised A2A card.

The progress page now explains that 0.60 is a project release label, while 72 is a separate Sites snapshot number. It also defines activity logs and database backups in plain language and says Kalki need not find or guess provider settings.
