Field notes
The homepage demonstrates two contrasting runs rather than describing permissions abstractly. A release workflow mutates state through a bounded iterator and finishes at step 3, while an imported HTTP operation compiles but halts when the Wasm standard-library profile lacks the required capability. The project exposes documentation, tutorials, RFCs, architecture notes, examples, and a VS Code link, and identifies itself as v0.7 under Apache-2.0.
