+# Revision history for linear-massiv
+
+## 0.1.0.6 — 2026-11-05
+
+### Multi-Package Migration & Constellation Standards
+* Restructured codebase into `packages/linear-massiv/` conforming to the Cellarius project constellation conventions.
+* Added standard Gachi repository scaffolding (`AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `PLAN.md`, `STATE.md`, CI workflows, verification scripts).
+
+### Dual-Mode Execution & SIMD Cleanliness
+* Strict SIMD isolation: all GHC `DoubleX4#` SIMD primops and vector operations are strictly confined to `Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Massiv.Internal.Kernel` behind `#ifdef USE_SIMD`.
+* Portable unboxed pure scalar fallback: implemented full scalar kernel fallbacks across all BLAS, solver, and decomposition operations, enabling zero-configuration builds on all CPU architectures (x86_64, ARM64 / Apple Silicon, RISC-V).
+* Zero NCG panics: eliminated Native Code Generator vector extract panics on GHC 9.14 by defaulting `simd` flag to `False`.
+* Multi-GHC portability: verified compatibility across GHC 9.6.7, 9.8.4, 9.10.3, 9.12.4, and 9.14.1 (`base >= 4.18 && < 5`).
+* Optional SIMD acceleration: AVX2 SIMD vectorisation enabled via `cabal build --flags=simd --ghc-options="-fllvm -pgmlo opt-17 -pgmlc llc-17 -mavx2 -mfma"`.
+
+### Test Suite Additions
+* Added `Test.Linear` covering `Linear.V` roundtrip conversions, `fromV2`, `fromV3`, `fromV4` indexing, and `toListMatrix`/`fromListMatrix` dimension checking.
+* Added `Test.Banded` covering `bandLU`, `bandForwardSub`, `bandBackSub`, `bandCholesky` (for bandwidths $p=1$ and $p=2$), and `tridiagSolve`.
+* Extended `Test.Eigen` with test cases for `inverseIteration` and `rayleighQuotient`.
+
+### Documentation & Performance Framing
+* Fully overhauled `README.md` and package documentation with honest Golub & Van Loan algorithmic framing.
+* Retracted universal "faster than BLAS/LAPACK" benchmark claims in favour of transparent runtime overhead discussion and unboxed kernel engineering.
+* Fixed Haddock identifier resolution warnings across `Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Massiv.Linear` and `Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Massiv.Eigen.SVD`.
+
+### Licensing Modernisation
+* Re-licensed to EUPL-1.2 OR Apache-2.0 dual license for compliance with German and broader EU software procurement standards, matching the Cellarius constellation policy.

+disclaimer of warranties. The Licensee must include a copy of such notices and a
+copy of the Licence with every copy of the Work he/she distributes or
+communicates. The Licensee must cause any Derivative Work to carry prominent
+notices stating that the Work has been modified and the date of modification.
+
+Copyleft clause: If the Licensee distributes or communicates copies of the
+Original Works or Derivative Works, this Distribution or Communication will be
+done under the terms of this Licence or of a later version of this Licence
+unless the Original Work is expressly distributed only under this version of the
+Licence — for example by communicating ‘EUPL v. 1.2 only’. The Licensee
+(becoming Licensor) cannot offer or impose any additional terms or conditions on
+the Work or Derivative Work that alter or restrict the terms of the Licence.
+
+Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes or Communicates Derivative
+Works or copies thereof based upon both the Work and another work licensed under
+a Compatible Licence, this Distribution or Communication can be done under the
+terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause, ‘Compatible
+Licence’ refers to the licences listed in the appendix attached to this Licence.
+Should the Licensee's obligations under the Compatible Licence conflict with
+his/her obligations under this Licence, the obligations of the Compatible
+Licence shall prevail.
+
+Provision of Source Code: When distributing or communicating copies of the Work,
+the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or indicate
+a repository where this Source will be easily and freely available for as long
+as the Licensee continues to distribute or communicate the Work.
+
+Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,
+trademarks, service marks, or names of the Licensor, except as required for
+reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
+reproducing the content of the copyright notice.
+
+6. Chain of Authorship
+
+The original Licensor warrants that the copyright in the Original Work granted
+hereunder is owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
+power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each Contributor warrants that the copyright in the modifications he/she brings
+to the Work are owned by him/her or licensed to him/her and that he/she has the
+power and authority to grant the Licence.
+
+Each time You accept the Licence, the original Licensor and subsequent
+Contributors grant You a licence to their contributions to the Work, under the
+terms of this Licence.
+
+7. Disclaimer of Warranty
+
+The Work is a work in progress, which is continuously improved by numerous
+Contributors. It is not a finished work and may therefore contain defects or
+‘bugs’ inherent to this type of development.
+
+For the above reason, the Work is provided under the Licence on an ‘as is’ basis
+and without warranties of any kind concerning the Work, including without
+limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, absence of defects
+or errors, accuracy, non-infringement of intellectual property rights other than
+copyright as stated in Article 6 of this Licence.
+
+This disclaimer of warranty is an essential part of the Licence and a condition
+for the grant of any rights to the Work.
+
+8. Disclaimer of Liability
+
+Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
+persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect,
+material or moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use
+of the Work, including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work
+stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial
+damage, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
+However, the Licensor will be liable under statutory product liability laws as
+far such laws apply to the Work.

+# linear-massiv
+
+**Pure Haskell numerical linear algebra implementing Golub & Van Loan.**
+
+`linear-massiv` provides type-safe matrix and vector operations backed by
+[massiv](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/massiv) arrays, with
+compile-time dimension checking via GHC's type-level naturals (`KnownNat`).
+It requires no foreign FFI, no C dependencies, and no Fortran libraries —
+every algorithm is implemented in Haskell, from the GEMM micro-kernel to the
+divide-and-conquer SVD.
+
+## Dual-Mode Execution Architecture
+
+To balance portability across compiler versions and architectures with high-throughput execution on vector hardware, `linear-massiv` employs a dual-mode execution architecture isolated behind an unboxed kernel interface:
+
+1. **Portable Unboxed Scalar Mode (Default):**
+   - High-performance scalar kernels written in pure Haskell over unboxed `ByteArray#` and `MutableByteArray#` buffers.
+   - Fully portable across CPU architectures (x86_64, AArch64 / ARM64, Apple Silicon, RISC-V).
+   - Compatible across GHC versions (9.6, 9.8, 9.10, 9.12, 9.14) without requiring LLVM or specific instruction set extensions.
+   - Zero compilation panics with GHC Native Code Generator (NCG).
+
+2. **AVX2 SIMD Mode (Optional, flag `+simd`):**
+   - Vectorised kernels leveraging GHC 9.14's native `DoubleX4#` SIMD primops.
+   - Requires compilation via LLVM (`-fllvm -pgmlo opt-17 -pgmlc llc-17 -mavx2 -mfma`).
+   - Hardware accelerated on AVX2 + FMA capable x86_64 processors (Intel Haswell / AMD Zen or later).
+
+All low-level kernel primops are strictly encapsulated within `Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Massiv.Internal.Kernel`, ensuring zero contamination of calling modules.
+
+## Performance and Algorithmic Framing
+
+`linear-massiv` is designed as a transparent, auditable Haskell implementation of the standard algorithms presented in Golub & Van Loan's *Matrix Computations* (4th ed.).
+
+Rather than competing against heavily tuned vendor libraries (OpenBLAS, Intel MKL, Apple Accelerate) which employ architecture-specific assembly heuristics and dynamic thread management, `linear-massiv` focuses on:
+- Eliminating Haskell runtime and array indexing overhead in inner loops via unboxed memory buffers (`ByteArray#`).
+- Cache-conscious panel factorisations (LU, Cholesky, QR).
+- Exact compile-time dimension safety via type-level naturals.
+- Complete algorithmic transparency without leaving the Haskell language.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```haskell
+import Numeric.LinearAlgebra.Massiv
+import qualified Data.Massiv.Array as M
+
+-- Create a 3x3 matrix (Primitive representation, Double elements)
+let a = makeMatrix @3 @3 @M.P $ \i j ->
+          fromIntegral (i * 3 + j + 1) :: Double
+
+-- QR factorisation
+let (q, r) = qr a
+
+-- Solve Ax = b via LU
+let b = makeVector @3 @M.P $ \i -> fromIntegral (i + 1) :: Double
+let x = luSolve a b
+
+-- Symmetric eigenvalue decomposition
+let (eigenvalues, eigenvectors) = symmetricEigen a
+
+-- Singular value decomposition
+let (u, sigma, vt) = svd a
+```
+
+## Requirements & Portability
+
+- **Compilers:** GHC 9.6.7, 9.8.4, 9.10.3, 9.12.4, 9.14.1
+- **Build tool:** Cabal 3.10+
+- **Default build:** Pure scalar kernels (works on any platform with standard GHC)
+  ```bash
+  cabal build packages/linear-massiv
+  cabal test packages/linear-massiv
+  ```

+  Pure Haskell numerical linear algebra implementing algorithms from
+  Golub & Van Loan's /Matrix Computations/ (4th ed.), with no FFI and no C
+  dependencies.
+
+  Provides type-safe matrix and vector operations backed by
+  <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/massiv massiv> arrays, with
+  compile-time dimension checking via GHC type-level naturals.
+  Implements BLAS Level 1–3 operations, panel LU, Cholesky, and QR
+  factorisations, blocked WY Householder transformations, banded linear
+  solvers, symmetric eigenvalue decomposition, and singular value
+  decomposition (SVD).
+
+  Execution is portable across all architectures and GHC versions (9.6+)
+  using efficient unboxed scalar kernels by default. On x86_64 systems with
+  AVX2 and FMA support, optional SIMD acceleration can be enabled via the
+  @simd@ cabal flag when compiling with GHC's LLVM backend.
