# HELM AI Kernel Launch Readiness Checklist

This document tracks the final launch-readiness state of the `helm-ai-kernel` repository. It is updated mechanically by the `scripts/launch/launch-ready.sh` verification tool.

Last verification: 2026-05-19T17:15:07Z
Verification logs are emitted by the tool for each run and are intentionally
not committed to the repository.

## Phase 0: Boundary Hardening

## Phase 2: Community & Release
