 # ENTITY-DEFENCE
 
-**ENTITY v3.4.0 executable Public / Unclassified Defence implementation package.**
+**Sealed ENTITY v3.4.0 Public / Unclassified Defence implementation package, evaluated in the current ENTITY v3.4.2 ecosystem.**
 
-**Current core compatibility:** ENTITY v3.4.1 — Protocol Origin Lineage & Sovereign User Bootstrap. The sealed domain-package payload remains v3.4.0 and was requalified unchanged against v3.4.1.
+**Current canonical core release:** [ENTITY v3.4.2 — Canonical BTDU Release](https://github.com/blackmore-technology-group/ENTITY/releases/tag/v3.4.2).
+
+The sealed domain-package payload in this repository remains the historical v3.4.0 package. Its recorded package-specific requalification against v3.4.1 remains historical evidence; this README does not rewrite that evidence into a new v3.4.2 package qualification. The current v3.4.2 adoption path is open for clean-clone external evaluation.
 
 This repository configures the **one ENTITY Global Passport** for public/unclassified defence-domain assets and workflows. It does not define a separate passport protocol and does not modify ENTITY core semantics.

 ## What this package is for
 
 Use ENTITY-DEFENCE as the starting point when you need persistent provenance, scoped authority, custody history and rights context around **public or unclassified** defence-domain assets while keeping infrastructure possession separate from sovereign authority.
 
-The v3.4 release describes this package around public/unclassified asset, originator, custody and provenance patterns. Classified material is explicitly outside this package and should not be introduced into this repository or its public workflows.
