Changed

Corresponding Commits

• Parent repo VincentLinB/pif: Phase 22.0 → Phase 23E (commits ac44591, 7618936, 8755f8d, 43d649e, 91190a2, …)
• Whitepaper repo: this v0.2 commit

Known Limitations

• Performance numbers cited in Chapter 13 (PDF 14 pages in 2-3 sec, PDF size 640-690 KB) are measured; latency of other Phase 22-23 endpoints has not been benchmarked
• Cross-item lint R1–R14 rule table is PIF AI’s interpretation of ITRI curriculum; other SAs may interpret slightly differently — discussion welcome via GitHub issues

CI and Tooling

• .github/workflows/build-pdf.yml: Pandoc + XeLaTeX + Noto CJK bilingual PDF build (matrix: zh-TW, en)
• .github/workflows/lint.yml: markdownlint + lychee link check
• .markdownlint.jsonc: linting rules aligned with geo-whitepaper
• assets/pdf/concat.sh: chapter concatenation script (strips frontmatter, JSON-LD, nav footer)
• CITATION.cff: GitHub auto-recognized citation info

Licensing

• Whitepaper: CC BY-NC 4.0
• Underlying software (PIF AI code): AGPL-3.0

Known Limitations

• Some PIF AI performance metrics remain marked as “target values”; formal Phase 1 GA benchmarks pending (§1.4.1)
• English chapters are human-reviewed machine-assisted translation; regulatory terms may still require local legal review (especially §2.5 international comparison)
• Mermaid diagrams are stripped in PDF build and replaced with “[See online version]” placeholders because XeLaTeX does not natively render Mermaid

Corresponding Commits (in baiyuan-tech/pif and baiyuan-tech/pif-whitepaper)

• f33392e — feat(i18n): extend locales to Japanese, Korean, French with language dropdown
• (RAG integration commit, pending) — feat(rag): central RAG integration (Scheme C+) backend
• (whitepaper commit, pending) — docs: initial whitepaper v0.1 draft with 12 chapters + 4 appendices

Future Plans

v0.2 (expected 2026-09)

• Replace “target values” with actual Phase 1 GA benchmark data
• Extended SA electronic-signature chapter
• New chapter: “Regulatory-Change Monitoring and Notification Mechanism” (aligned with Phase 3)
• Additional multilingual review for ja, ko, fr translations (originally UI-only; whitepaper body not yet translated)
