Release InfByte on Foundation 3.0.1 native runtime lifecycle

[abmmhasan]

Summary

Finalize InfByte on the published Foundation 3.0.1 runtime lifecycle.

The implementation/handoff plan is fully complete and has been removed from the branch. This PR is now self-contained release evidence.

Published Foundation baseline

• infocyph/foundation:^3.0.1
• Foundation tag: 3.0.1
• Published merge/source commit: fc9b3258646ac744e61fd02e18d9b98e5afff2e8
• normal Composer resolution only
• no Foundation VCS/path repository override
• no development branch alias
• no candidate SHA pin

Foundation 3.0.1 directly requires:

• ArrayKit ^5.2
• CacheLayer ^3.4
• InterMix ^10.1.1
• Webrick ^5.4

Native runtime ownership

Webrick

All matcher strategies use Webrick's native cache lifecycle:

• fused → native fused matcher cache
• generated → native generated matcher cache
• sharded → native __current + immutable generation-* shards

Foundation owns the immutable release boundary/cache location only; it does not add a parallel route-cache format or pre-scan shards.

ArrayKit

Both development/build config-cache layouts are ArrayKit-native:

• single → Config::exportCache()/loadCache()
• sharded → LazyFileConfig::warmNamespaceCache() + native __flat.php

There is no fake fused configuration mode. Foundation owns policy/identity/publication, not a second config serializer.

InterMix + CacheLayer

Generated InterMix PHP ProductionContainer artifacts remain the native compiled DI cache.

CacheLayer remains Foundation core application infrastructure and is not automatically wrapped around compiled InterMix containers. Foundation validates Foundation-owned release metadata; InterMix validates its own native artifact/sidecar.

Stable package qualification

Functional release qualification on head c07b62d6fe6fa7e9a27972350a732725fff128bc:

• Security & Standards run #144 (36037084068) — success
• native Webrick + ArrayKit cache certification — success
• production auth/session — success
• generation lifecycle — success
• module lifecycle — success
• create-project — success
• InfByte 2.1 → Foundation 3 migration — success
• released PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5 consumers — success
• PHP 8.4/8.5 lowest/stable QA — success
• PHP 8.4/8.5 analysis — success
• PHP 8.4/8.5 benchmarks — success
• clean production install — success

The completed plan.md has now been removed, and CI also asserts that it is not shipped in the create-project skeleton.

Final plan-free release head fb5a4c159a1a9586696ef0f47faa4ec321c9f1db is qualified by Security & Standards run #147 (36037816498) — success.

Guardrails

• no PHPForge/PHPProbe bypass
• no threshold weakening or complexity suppression
• no Foundation 2 route/container cache switches
• no application-owned route/container/config compiler
• no automatic CacheLayer wrapping of compiled InterMix containers
• no fake fused config mode
• no Foundation VCS/path dependency workaround
• no automatic merge

Merge ownership

Do not merge automatically. Final merge/release remains owner-controlled.
