Veiled engineering preview — 2026-11-03

This is development software, not a production release or a security certification.
M4/M8 physical carrier/device gates, independent protocol assessment, production
signing and F-Droid approval remain open. Phone enrollment/discovery is NOT enabled
in these clients. Carrier sending remains an explicit choice.

Windows: unsigned x64 portable qualification executable; no publisher signature or
installer/update qualification. Run veiled.exe. Uses your existing Windows profile;
do not run multiple instances against one profile. Back up important data first.

Android: v35 / 0.0.35-contact-cards-preview, min API26, arm64-v8a + x86_64,
package org.veiled.communicator.debug, nondebuggable optimized inspection build
with DEVELOPMENT signing. This is not a stable release signing/update channel.
An existing installation with another signing certificate cannot be updated by
this APK. Do not uninstall/reset data to work around a signing mismatch.
