1️⃣ Git Tag Message — v0.1.0-rtt-baseline#

This is suitable as either:

  • an annotated Git tag message, or
  • the short description attached to the tag in GitHub.
NawderOS v0.1.0 — RTT Baseline
 
This tag marks the first formal anchoring of NawderOS in
Resonance-Time Theory (RTT).
 
v0.1.0 establishes NawderOS as an RTT-aware instrumentation
baseline, focused on observation, validation, and lineage
rather than enforcement or optimization.
 
This release defines:
- RTT as the conceptual anchor
- badge-based signaling as the primary system output
- minimal, readable kernel instrumentation
- fork-first design with preserved coherence
 
This is a baseline, not a feature milestone.
Future versions increment only when RTT alignment,
invariants, or badge semantics change.
 
From this point forward, drift is visible.

Short. Calm. Referential.
It reads well in git tag -a and in GitHub’s UI.


2️⃣ “RTT Baseline” Badge — Graphic Spec 🏷️#

This is a visual identity spec, not an image file. It’s designed so forks can recreate it consistently using shields.io, SVG, or custom assets.


Badge Name#

RTT Baseline


Purpose#

Visually marks repositories, forks, and releases that:

  • explicitly anchor to RTT
  • preserve observation-first design
  • maintain badge-based lineage signaling

This badge is declarative, not authoritative.


Text Layout#

RTT | baseline

or (compact variant):

RTT-baseline

Color Palette#

  • Background: Deep slate / charcoal
    • Hex: #2E3440 (or similar neutral dark)
  • Text: Soft off-white
    • Hex: #ECEFF4
  • Accent (optional): Muted triadic highlight
    • Hex: #88C0D0 (cool, non-alarmist)

No red. No green. No urgency colors.


Shape#

  • Standard badge pill (GitHub / shields style)
  • Rounded corners
  • Flat (no gradients, no glow)

Iconography (Optional)#

If an icon is used:

  • Simple triadic mark (three points or lines)
  • No arrows
  • No motion
  • No implication of control or automation

Icon must not dominate the text.


Semantic Rules#

A project may display the RTT Baseline badge if:

  • RTT is explicitly named as the conceptual anchor
  • observation is favored over enforcement
  • lineage and badge signaling are preserved

Forks may:

  • keep the badge
  • modify it with a suffix (e.g., RTT-baseline+sim)
  • remove it entirely

The badge is self-attested, not centrally granted.


Example Markdown (Shields‑Style)#

![RTT Baseline](https://img.shields.io/badge/RTT-baseline-2E3440?style=flat&labelColor=2E3440&color=88C0D0)

(Exact colors and style may vary by fork.)


Why This Works#

  • Visually calm
  • Non-authoritarian
  • Fork-safe
  • Signals lineage without hierarchy
  • Matches the tone of RTT and NawderOS

It says “this is grounded”, not “this is finished.”
