### Technical Details

#### Coherence Bounds (Defaults)
| Parameter | Value | Purpose |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| `min_coherence` | 0.3 | Absolute floor (writes blocked below) |
| `throttle_threshold` | 0.5 | Rate limiting begins |
| `target_coherence` | 0.8 | System seeks this level |
| `max_delta_drop` | 0.1 | Maximum per-transition drop |

#### Energy Cost Model
```
cost = base_cost * (1 + instability)^exponent
```

Where:
- `base_cost = 1.0`
- `exponent = 2.0`
- `max_cost = 100.0`
- `budget_per_tick = 10.0`

- Linux (x86_64, aarch64)
- macOS (x86_64, aarch64)
- Windows (x86_64)
- WASM (wasm32-unknown-unknown)

#### Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
- Rust 1.75.0

### Dependencies
- No required runtime dependencies (no_std compatible with `alloc`)
- Optional: `std` feature for full functionality

### Breaking Changes
- Initial release - no breaking changes

### Migration Guide
- Initial release - no migration required

## Upgrade Notes

### From 0.0.1 to 0.1.0

The 0.0.1 release was a proof-of-concept. Version 0.1.0 is a complete rewrite with:

1. **New API**: The `DeltaSystem` trait replaces the previous ad-hoc functions
2. **Configuration**: Use `DeltaConfig` instead of individual parameters
3. **Enforcement**: The `DeltaEnforcer` provides unified enforcement
4. **Applications**: Enable specific applications via feature flags

Example migration:

```rust
// 0.0.1 (proof-of-concept)
let coherence = check_coherence(&state);
if coherence > 0.3 {
    apply_transition(&mut state, &delta);
}

// 0.1.0 (stable)
use delta_behavior::{DeltaConfig, enforcement::DeltaEnforcer, Coherence};

let config = DeltaConfig::default();
let mut enforcer = DeltaEnforcer::new(config);

let current = system.coherence();
let predicted = system.predict_coherence(&transition);

match enforcer.check(current, predicted) {
    EnforcementResult::Allowed => system.step(&transition),
    EnforcementResult::Throttled(delay) => std::thread::sleep(delay),
    EnforcementResult::Blocked(reason) => eprintln!("Blocked: {}", reason),
}
```
