Unify beginner syntax while preserving compatibility, repair ownership and parser guards, add verified distribution tooling and VC6 Windows 98 build inputs, and clarify documentation and release status. Preserve DOS build-input line endings and exclude generated binaries/caches.

Current runtime guards
These are implemented guardrails, not a sandbox or a promise that arbitrary scripts have bounded resource use.
- Function/method calls: at most 256 active calls. Excessive recursion raises a Claro error. Other limits can stop a program earlier.
- Expressions: at most 128 nested parser levels, covering parentheses and unary operations. Excessive nesting produces a diagnostic instead of continuing recursive parsing.
- Control blocks: at most 128 additional nested control-block frames. The runtime and syntax checker reject deeper blocks. Function-call frames have their own guard.
- HTTP response bodies: limited to 1,048,576 bytes by the existing HTTP path.
Malformed expressions such as a lone !, an unclosed quote/parenthesis,
a missing operand, or trailing expression tokens are rejected by the runtime.
Use NOT for logical negation; != remains a supported comparison.
Not provided
The former beta document described CLARO_STEP_LIMIT, CLARO_MAX_FILE_BYTES,
and CLARO_MAX_JSON_BYTES. Those environment controls are not implemented in
the current src/claro.c; do not depend on them. The original document is
preserved under history.
Ordinary intentional loops can still run indefinitely. This checkpoint does
not establish a general JSON recursion limit, global file/output-size limit,
CPU budget, or untrusted-script protection. Scripts and RUN COMMAND execute
with the user's permissions.
See reliability verification for the tested scope.
