+## 1.7.1 — prepared source; publication separate
+
+- Fix packaged Draft 2020-12 resource discovery when SwiftPM's native test host
+  loads JSONSchema from an XCTest bundle. Search beside that bundle after the
+  existing locations; preserve integrity checks, finite cumulative compilation
+  budgets, cancellation and selected-resource failure behavior.
+- Add a real public native SwiftPM test-host regression in Debug and Release,
+  retaining the standalone intact, missing and corrupt resource probes.
+- Report CLI source version `1.7.1` with a regenerated deterministic source
+  identity. No public API, product, dependency or deployment change is introduced.
+- See the [patch release notes](Documentation/ReleaseNotes/1.7.1.md) for scope and
+  the source-bound qualification asset attached to the draft release for outcomes.

+# Swift-JSON 1.7.1 — release notes
+
+This patch fixes JSONSchema resource discovery in SwiftPM's native test host.
+Preparation and tagging do not establish publication; the official GitHub release
+and its qualification asset identify the final source and actual outcomes.
+
+## Fixed
+
+When the native SwiftPM backend uses `swiftpm-testing-helper` as the main bundle,
+JSONSchema can be loaded from a nested XCTest bundle while its resource bundle
+is installed beside that bundle. The loader now includes this fixed sibling
+location, after the existing candidates, on Objective-C-capable Apple platforms.
+All nine packaged Draft 2020-12 resources retain their exact size and SHA-256
+checks. A selected missing or corrupt resource remains an operational failure;
+there is no permissive fallback, online resolution or new cache.
+
+A public Swift Testing consumer exercises this host layout in Debug and Release
+without environment overrides, including valid and invalid exact integers above
+2^53. Existing standalone intact, missing and corrupt resource checks remain.
+CLI metadata reports `1.7.1` with the deterministic final-source identity.
+
+## Compatibility and qualification
+
+No public API, product, runtime dependency or platform is added. The package keeps
+twelve library products plus `swift-json`, thirteen DocC catalogs, Swift tools and
+compiler 6.4+, Swift language mode 6, Apple OS/SDK 27+, Apache-2.0 and retained
+upstream notices. Exact values, key identity, schema dialect, cumulative quotas,
+cancellation and ordinary-invalid versus operational-error distinctions retain
+their contracts. Parallel 1.8 work is outside this patch.
+
+The release qualification asset records actual source-bound Native, Linux,
+safety, docs, archive and consumer outcomes. SDK compilation is distinct from
+device runtime; unchanged portable scopes are reuse evidence, not new execution.
+
+Navigation G4 remains HOLD with zero accepted controlled timing samples.
+Transform's scoped performance disposition and incomplete historical sampling
+windows are preserved, without a new measured pass. The historical approximately
+11% streaming regression disposition and unchanged 10% review trigger remain.
+This patch makes no speed, throughput, allocation or RSS claim. Logical retained
+bytes and caller work retain their documented accounting boundaries.
