Identity / origin and provenance

In development

Open source requires inspectable provenance

Millrace presents its source, license, release ref, and historical evidence boundary together so the project can be evaluated without a detached autonomy story.

Page state reviewed 2026-08-15. The page does not expand the release evidence.

Source and license

Millrace is open-source software created by Tim Osterhus. The current source repository is github.com/tim-osterhus/millrace, and the project license is Apache-2.0.

The current launch manifest identifies the v0.22.2 source tag and commit b84f50da9b0f07ce4964f61dd69feb548e2ef754 for the millrace-ai release. That pin is the source of the release fact; it does not stand in for a new build or platform receipt.

Historical record

Historical evidence: the graph-engineering provenance audit records the project's chronology from January through April 2026. It identifies an early graph-shaped orchestration protocol on January 24, a deterministic persistent control plane in February, a compiled graph sidecar on April 21, graph-authority cutover on April 23, and a public release receipt on April 24.

Those dates explain the origin of the public claim. They should not be read as current benchmark results or as evidence for products that are still In development.

Why this boundary matters

Source, license, release metadata, and proof claims answer different questions. Keeping them linked but separate makes it possible to inspect what the project is, what was released, what was historically recorded, and what still needs qualification.
