 - Exact signal-to-binding and binding-to-binding dependency tracking with conditional rewiring, equality cutoffs, batched transactions, nested-write stabilization, owner disposal, buffer-scoped sources, variable adapters, cycle paths, and public structural counters.
 - Atomic single- and multi-surface publication with candidate source values, prepare-all/publish-all ordering, explicit property journals, rollback-capable transaction participants, observer isolation, and authoritative kill-buffer cleanup.

 ### Changed
 
+- Structured publication batches now own the single live surface-entry loop,
+  participant stage/precommit/commit vector, and candidate-bound final accept.
+  The public `tp-transaction-participate` API remains a v1 adapter over the same
+  participant object; structured and v1 routes are mutually exclusive.
+- Runtime manifest fields now report active structured batch execution and the
+  supported route list/option, single-writer invariant, and retained v1
+  adapter/rollback route.  The package version remains 1.0.1 because
+  this is the planned authority cutover within the unreleased 1.0.1 protocol,
+  with no public API removal or dependency change.
 - Package metadata now distinguishes builds that include
   `tp-transaction.el`; consumers can require TP 1.0.1 without an older 1.0.0
   development snapshot being accepted as a complete transaction runtime.
