...
CI / lint (push) Failing after 11s
CI / typecheck (push) Failing after 13s
Major release marking the transition from SooSeF to FieldWitness.
Highlights:
- Full rebrand: soosef → fieldwitness, stegasoo → stego, verisoo → attest
- Data directory: ~/.soosef/ → ~/.fwmetadata/ (innocuous name for field safety)
- License: MIT → GPL-3.0
- C2PA bridge module (Phase 0-2): X.509 cert management, export path with
vendor assertions (org.fieldwitness.perceptual-hashes, chain-record,
attestation-id), GPS downsampling for privacy
- README repositioned: provenance/federation first, steganography backgrounded
- Threat model skeleton (docs/security/threat-model.md)
- Planning docs: C2PA integration, GTM feasibility, packaging strategy,
"Why FieldWitness Exists" narrative for non-technical audiences

Complete rebrand cleanup: remaining env vars and references
...
Fix STEGASOO_* env vars → FIELDWITNESS_* and VERISOO_* → FIELDWITNESS_*
across stego module, attest module, and frontends. Wire format
identifiers (VERISOO\x00 magic bytes, STEGASOO-Z: QR prefixes)
intentionally preserved for backwards compatibility.

Rebrand SooSeF to FieldWitness
...
Complete project rebrand for better positioning in the press freedom
and digital security space. FieldWitness communicates both field
deployment and evidence testimony — appropriate for the target audience
of journalists, NGOs, and human rights organizations.
Rename mapping:
- soosef → fieldwitness (package, CLI, all imports)
- soosef.stegasoo → fieldwitness.stego
- soosef.verisoo → fieldwitness.attest
- ~/.soosef/ → ~/.fwmetadata/ (innocuous data dir name)
- SOOSEF_DATA_DIR → FIELDWITNESS_DATA_DIR
- SoosefConfig → FieldWitnessConfig
- SoosefError → FieldWitnessError
Also includes:
- License switch from MIT to GPL-3.0
- C2PA bridge module (Phase 0-2 MVP): cert.py, export.py, vendor_assertions.py
- README repositioned to lead with provenance/federation, stego backgrounded
- Threat model skeleton at docs/security/threat-model.md
- Planning docs: docs/planning/c2pa-integration.md, docs/planning/gtm-feasibility.md
