Four things happened since the August refresh that the wiki either contradicted or did not know about: the Dogwood coordinated release (2026-08-30, tag-only, re-cut as Dogwood-R1 two days later) and the first Eucalyptus RC (2026-09-17); the DTG Core Credentials spec tagging Working Draft 02 (2026-09-07) with its main branch already heading for 0.4.0; the sysop "deploy" stream the wiki had called "coming soon" shipping as three open-source VTA Farm repos; and data rooms landing in the VTI as a third kind of node. WD02 is the disruptive one: it deletes the four-way DID taxonomy the concept pages were built on and adds two credential types, so the pages described a spec that no longer exists.

Spec-driven changes (WD02 and the post-WD02 main branch):

  • New concepts/correlation-scope.md — the holder-declared pairwise / directed / public width that replaces the DID types. did-types.md is rewritten as a retired/history page explaining why the taxonomy went and pointing at its replacement.
  • New concepts/delegation-credential.md (VDC, third edge type) and concepts/authority-credential.md (VAC, attenuable permission chains).
  • New concepts/statement-credential.md (VSC) for the main-branch folding of endorsement and witness into predicate profiles; clearly marked as not yet tagged or implemented anywhere.
  • membership-credential.md: the grant + consent-carrying acknowledgement pair is now fully specified and implemented.
  • witness-credential.md, credential-categories.md, dtg-credentials-overview.md and the other credential pages moved to digestMultibase and the WD02 category layout.
  • entities/dtg-credential-spec.md rewritten for WD02 with the PR-by-PR history; entities/dtg-credentials.md covers the eight breaking releases (0.2.0 → 0.9.1) that tracked it.

New pages for sources not previously covered:

  • entities/vtafarm.md, entities/vtafarm-api.md, entities/vtafarm-k8s.md — the portal, the Go/Kubernetes provisioning backend and the OpenTofu cluster on Hetzner, with the namespace-per-user / Vault-sealed-seed security model.
  • concepts/data-rooms.md — credential-governed, MLS-encrypted shared spaces with their own DIDs and no member list.
  • concepts/post-quantum-cryptography.md — ML-DSA keys in the VTA, hybrid multi-proof credentials from the VTC, and the PQ path in the TSP implementation, with the VID model noted as not yet PQ-aware.
  • concepts/peer-identity-vetting.md — early, marked as such.

Entity and concept activity refreshed through mid-September: coordinated-releases.md gains the Dogwood / Dogwood-R1 / Eucalyptus RC-1 version matrix; trust-spanning-protocol.md covers the Rev 3 flag day and the five-implementation conformance suite; verifiable-trust-infrastructure.md, verifiable-trust-agent.md, affinidi-tdk.md, affinidi-webvh-service.md, didwebvh-rs.md, openvtc.md, vta-browser-plugin.md, vti-didcomm-js.md, rp-sdk-js.md and verifiable-git-infrastructure.md pick up the security sweep, the wallet console and persona map, and the Signed-by-DID: trailer. vti-setup.md follows the explore stream to VTI-Dogwood and the newly verified bootstrap script.

Two things a reviewer should notice: the dtg-credentials digest- encoding divergence recorded as unresolved last cycle is now closed (the crate and the spec converged on multibase), and the per-repo version matrix flags several components whose main branch is ahead of any tag — those are recorded as "not yet tagged", not as releases.

overview.md, index.md (ten new pages) and log.md updated to match.

Four things happened since the August refresh that the wiki either
contradicted or did not know about: the Dogwood coordinated release
(2026-08-30, tag-only, re-cut as Dogwood-R1 two days later) and the
first Eucalyptus RC (2026-09-17); the DTG Core Credentials spec tagging
Working Draft 02 (2026-09-07) with its main branch already heading for
0.4.0; the sysop "deploy" stream the wiki had called "coming soon"
shipping as three open-source VTA Farm repos; and data rooms landing
in the VTI as a third kind of node. WD02 is the disruptive one: it
deletes the four-way DID taxonomy the concept pages were built on and
adds two credential types, so the pages described a spec that no
longer exists.

Spec-driven changes (WD02 and the post-WD02 main branch):

- New `concepts/correlation-scope.md` — the holder-declared
  pairwise / directed / public width that replaces the DID types.
  `did-types.md` is rewritten as a retired/history page explaining
  why the taxonomy went and pointing at its replacement.
- New `concepts/delegation-credential.md` (VDC, third edge type) and
  `concepts/authority-credential.md` (VAC, attenuable permission
  chains).
- New `concepts/statement-credential.md` (VSC) for the main-branch
  folding of endorsement and witness into predicate profiles; clearly
  marked as not yet tagged or implemented anywhere.
- `membership-credential.md`: the grant + consent-carrying
  acknowledgement pair is now fully specified and implemented.
- `witness-credential.md`, `credential-categories.md`,
  `dtg-credentials-overview.md` and the other credential pages moved
  to `digestMultibase` and the WD02 category layout.
- `entities/dtg-credential-spec.md` rewritten for WD02 with the
  PR-by-PR history; `entities/dtg-credentials.md` covers the eight
  breaking releases (0.2.0 → 0.9.1) that tracked it.

New pages for sources not previously covered:

- `entities/vtafarm.md`, `entities/vtafarm-api.md`,
  `entities/vtafarm-k8s.md` — the portal, the Go/Kubernetes
  provisioning backend and the OpenTofu cluster on Hetzner, with the
  namespace-per-user / Vault-sealed-seed security model.
- `concepts/data-rooms.md` — credential-governed, MLS-encrypted shared
  spaces with their own DIDs and no member list.
- `concepts/post-quantum-cryptography.md` — ML-DSA keys in the VTA,
  hybrid multi-proof credentials from the VTC, and the PQ path in the
  TSP implementation, with the VID model noted as not yet PQ-aware.
- `concepts/peer-identity-vetting.md` — early, marked as such.

Entity and concept activity refreshed through mid-September:
`coordinated-releases.md` gains the Dogwood / Dogwood-R1 / Eucalyptus
RC-1 version matrix; `trust-spanning-protocol.md` covers the Rev 3
flag day and the five-implementation conformance suite;
`verifiable-trust-infrastructure.md`, `verifiable-trust-agent.md`,
`affinidi-tdk.md`, `affinidi-webvh-service.md`, `didwebvh-rs.md`,
`openvtc.md`, `vta-browser-plugin.md`, `vti-didcomm-js.md`,
`rp-sdk-js.md` and `verifiable-git-infrastructure.md` pick up the
security sweep, the wallet console and persona map, and the
`Signed-by-DID:` trailer. `vti-setup.md` follows the explore stream
to `VTI-Dogwood` and the newly verified bootstrap script.

Two things a reviewer should notice: the `dtg-credentials` digest-
encoding divergence recorded as unresolved last cycle is now closed
(the crate and the spec converged on multibase), and the per-repo
version matrix flags several components whose main branch is ahead of
any tag — those are recorded as "not yet tagged", not as releases.

`overview.md`, `index.md` (ten new pages) and `log.md` updated to
match.
