# v1.61 Milestone Audit

Status: passed

## Scope Closed

- Phase `115`: research taste contract
- Phase `116`: research taste runtime and CLI surface
- Phase `117`: closure and regression audit

## Production Outcome

`v1.61` now exposes a reviewable research-taste surface through:

- `research/knowledge-hub/knowledge_hub/research_taste_support.py`
- `research/knowledge-hub/knowledge_hub/topic_dashboard_surface_support.py`
- `research/knowledge-hub/knowledge_hub/aitp_service.py`
- `research/knowledge-hub/knowledge_hub/aitp_cli.py`
- `research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_research_taste_support.py`

## Verification Evidence

- research-taste targeted slice:
  - `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_research_taste_support.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_runtime_profiles_and_projections.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_cli.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_cli_e2e.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_service.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_schema_contracts.py -q`
  - result: `204 passed`
- maintainability-budget gate:
  - `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_maintainability_budgets.py -q`
  - result: `2 passed`
- full knowledge-hub suite:
  - `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests -q`
  - result: `352 passed, 10 subtests passed`
