+# v0.0.34 Release Evidence
+
+Status: prepared
+Target release date: 2026-05-22
+Target tag: `v0.0.34`
+
+## Scope
+
+Tracks the `0.0.34` release cycle for the Inspired Design harvest recovery follow-up, browser output artifact hardening, and release metadata alignment.
+
+Current status note:
+- Source version metadata is aligned from `0.0.33` to `0.0.34`.
+- npm and GitHub release publication are planned through the public release workflow.
+- Chrome Web Store publication is planned as a manual browser-gated lane for this release.
+
+## Reference State
+
+- Previous npm `latest`: `0.0.33`
+- Previous GitHub release: `v0.0.33`
+- Release branch: `codex/release-v0.0.34`
+- Target tag: `v0.0.34`
+- GitHub release workflow: `.github/workflows/release-public.yml`
+
+## Release Delta
+
+- Shipped PR #71 Inspired Design harvest recovery and browser output artifact behavior.
+- Shipped PR #72 Pinterest harvest recovery validation hardening.
+- Preserved diagnostic-only gating for non-ready Pinterest evidence and Canvas continuation.
+- Kept release-facing source metadata aligned with the `0.0.34` package version.
+
+## Version Alignment
+
+- `package.json`: `0.0.34`
+- `package-lock.json`: `0.0.34`
+- `extension/package.json`: `0.0.34`
+- `extension/manifest.json`: `0.0.34`

+  - `node scripts/live-regression-direct.mjs --release-gate --out artifacts/release/v0.0.34/live-regression-direct.json`
+
+## Implementation Proof
