NetEngine 0.1.0-alpha.1 release notes

Initial alpha release focused on proving that a YAML world spec can bootstrap a self-contained internet-like environment on a single Docker host.

Highlights

• Ten-phase orchestration from substrate through org applications.
• Idempotent netengine up re-runs using persisted runtime state.
• CoreDNS root, platform, and TLD zone provisioning.
• step-ca private PKI and ACME endpoint provisioning.
• Keycloak platform and in-world identity setup.
• World registry, domain registry, registrar, and WHOIS surfaces.
• Administrative Network Domain profile/instance modeling.
• Optional mail and storage services.
• FastAPI operator API under /api/v1.
• Support bundle export/import with redaction-by-default.
• Persistent-world teardown confirmation safeguards.

Supported smoke paths

• examples/minimal.yaml
• examples/single-org.yaml
• examples/dev-sandbox.yaml

See docs/alpha-quickstart.md for exact validation commands.

Compatibility notes

• Spec schema defaults to netengine.spec.v1 when omitted by existing alpha specs.
• Runtime state uses netengine.runtime_state.v1; older pre-version alpha.1 state is treated as v1-compatible and stamped on save.
• /api/v1 is the alpha operator API compatibility boundary.
