+Minor release on the **v1** line: no breaking change to any exported identifier. It adds the
+`pep` package (enforcing Socrate's central policy decisions), `socrate.Client.Decide`, and the
+`auth_time` / `amr` claims in `jwtauth`; moves the toolchain to Go 1.27.1; and brings the licence
+(Apache-2.0), the contributor kit and the documentation to the suite's standard.
+
 Policy enforcement for applications against Socrate's central policy decision
