+### Changed
+- README/ROADMAP claims scoped to the shipped build per ADR-0007: QUIC & SNIF marked experimental (optional NIFs disabled by default), PTP <1µs flagged hardware-gated, Idris2 proofs flagged type-check-only (runtime enforcement = ADR-0008 Option C), latency/scale flagged unbenchmarked; added a README Status section. Closes the STATE.a2ml doc-reality-drift entries (issue #51)
+
 ### Added
 - ADR-0007 (Accepted): claims-to-evidence discipline & optional-dependency policy — every headline claim maps to code+test or is labelled experimental; optional NIF deps are experimental-until-wired. Closes the recurring `doc-reality-drift` blocker. Earn-the-Core epic #53
 - ADR-0008 (Accepted, Option C): scope the "formally verified" claim now (per ADR-0007) and fund a single-module runtime-enforcement PoC (issue #55)

 **One command to deploy. Sub-second to join. Your server, your rules.**
 
+== Status
+
+Burble is **pre-production** (targeting CRG grade C). The core — self-hosted
+WebRTC voice, browser join, OTP fault isolation — is operational and tested.
+Per link:docs/decisions/0007-claims-to-evidence-discipline.adoc[ADR-0007],
+every claim below maps to code + a test, or is flagged here:
+
+* *Experimental (optional, off by default):* QUIC transport and SNIF WASM
+  crash-isolation require optional NIFs (`quicer`/msquic, `wasmex`) that are
+  **disabled in the default build**; the runtime degrades gracefully without
+  them.
+* *Hardware-gated:* sub-microsecond PTP needs a PTP-capable NIC; without one
+  the system uses NTP (~1ms). PTP hardware is **unvalidated** (I210 pending).
+* *Roadmap:* the Idris2 ABI proofs compile and type-check; *runtime*
+  enforcement is not yet wired
+  (link:docs/decisions/0008-formal-proof-enforcement-vs-scope.adoc[ADR-0008],
+  Option C; PoC tracked in issue #55).
+* *Not yet benchmarked:* end-to-end mic-to-speaker latency and 500+
+  concurrent scale (issue #52).
+
+Foundational hardening is tracked in the "Earn the Core" epic (issue #53).

-Burble has cleared its foundational milestones. Test suite: 222+ Elixir tests + Zig coprocessor tests + 6 channel safety-contract tests + 6 Opus-contract tests + 5 AI bridge Deno tests (round-trip, ordering, reconnect, heartbeat). We are currently in a **phased hardening** cycle: audio reliability (Phase 1), P2P AI bridge dependability (Phase 2), then signaling/channels (Phase 3) and PTP hardware integration (Phase 4). See `.machine_readable/6a2/STATE.a2ml` for the authoritative status.
