Make the product buyable and the open-source claim true.
Licence system, end to end. license.rs was well-designed dead code; wire
it up: an Ed25519-signed token (same key and verify-before-parse discipline
as definition packs), `hound license install`, houndd loads and verifies at
boot, and the execution gate and full supply-chain feed now gate on
Capability checks. Verification failing always degrades to Free, never to a
locked-out security tool; an expired licence downgrades with the reason
shown. Adds tools/issue-license.py.
Hound Linux threat pack. 34 curated YARA rules — miners, IoT/DDoS bots,
backdoors, rootkits, ransomware, webshells, droppers, reverse shells —
shipped through a new signed rules-pack channel (.rpack) alongside the
definitions feed. Every rule is ELF- or size-anchored and keyed on
family strings, never syscalls; the builder refuses to sign a pack that
matches a system binary (the goodware gate caught two bad rules), and a
regression test proves every rule fires on a sample and stays quiet on a
document about malware.
Action signature verification. The composite action claimed Ed25519
verification "against the same signed manifest the desktop agent uses" but
only compared a same-host sha256. It now fetches latest.json, verifies the
Ed25519 signature over the canonical release statement against the pinned
release key, and installs the checksum from the verified manifest.
