+- Added exact format identification with pinned Siegfried `1.11.6` and PRONOM `v124`.
+- Added versioned PUID assertions, all-match retention, bounded batches, resume checkpoints and format UI/CLI.
+- Added verified sidecar acquisition, Tauri resource bundling and third-party notices.
+- Added migration `0006_exact_format_identification.sql`.
+- Updated English/Persian documentation and sanitized release screenshots.
+- Fixed Windows JSON probing and real-batch execution by resolving the verified signature through
+  `-home` and passing only `default.sig`, avoiding Siegfried 1.11.6's unescaped header path.
+- Added Windows regression coverage for the sidecar command contract.
