What this changes

Prepares the licensed Linux x64 and Windows x64 release records for Fortress 153.0.8010.68, with tag v153.0.8010.68.

• Records the verified archive sizes, checksums, native engine identities, and licensing validation in releases/v153.0.8010.68/.
• Bundles the canonical standard-library activation client and routes activation/license commands through the portable launchers, including UTF-8 output on Windows.
• Extends the release verifier for versioned archive names and offline manifest/archive validation while retaining legacy naming support.
• Adds activation and verifier regression tests, plus a Windows activation CI job.

Type

• SDK / tooling / packaging
• Docs
• CI / infra

Validation

• python tools/check_patches.py: passed (35 patches).
• python -m pytest tools/tests -q: 39 passed.
• python -m pytest sdk/python/tests -q: 22 passed.
• Node syntax checks and node --test sdk/node/test/: 13 passed.
• Shellcheck and Bash syntax checks: passed.
• Offline verification against both retained archives: passed, including archive checksums, native engine hashes, canonical activation-client hashes, and exclusion of personal JWT files.
• Release verifier checked against published v153.0.8010.36 and v156.0.8078.47: passed.
• Native Linux and Windows tests verified v1 fallback for missing/invalid licenses and active v3 overrides with a valid production-signed license. Packaged launchers were also tested; details and coverage limits are in VALIDATION.json.

Release scope

macOS is deferred. These checks establish licensing and runtime correctness, not website-wide anti-bot qualification. The public demonstration patch set is not the complete binary source input.

Asset publication follows maintainer review. The record preserves the current latest-release selection and existing SDK channel defaults.

Checklist

• Patch-set linter passes.
• Python SDK regression tests pass.
• Coverage limits and deferred platform are documented.
• Native archive identities and license behavior are recorded.
