 Releases are triggered automatically on tag push (`v*`):
 ```bash
-git tag v1.0.4
+git tag v2.0.0
-git push origin v1.0.4
+git push origin v2.0.0
 ```
 Two dedicated workflows run in parallel:
 - **`release-linux.yml`** (`ubuntu-latest`): Compiles `Linux_Client.bin` and `Server.bin`, generating checksums.

-# LOGAR Release v1.0.2
+# LOGAR Release v2.0.0
+
+Major architectural release introducing Mutual TLS 1.3 (mTLS) transport security, built-in dynamic PKI & license accounting, in-flight certificate validity monitoring and auto-renewal, and automated Windows and Linux service installers.
+
+### Key Highlights & Changes in v2.0.0:
+
+- **mTLS 1.3 Transport Security & Runtime Licensing**:
+  - Replaced legacy plain TCP sockets with mutual TLS 1.3 authentication (`ssl.CERT_REQUIRED`, TLS 1.3 minimum version).
+  - Hub dynamically validates incoming client Common Name (`client_id`) against active license seats in SQLite during the TLS handshake.
+  - Drops unauthorized, un-enrolled, or revoked clients at the transport layer before payload reading.
+
+- **Dynamic Hub PKI Engine (`src/server_enrollment.py`)**:
+  - Automatically initializes an internal RSA-4096 Root CA (`ca.crt` / `ca.key`).
+  - Generates RSA-2048 Server TLS certificates with SANs for localhost, loopback, and server hostnames.
+  - Full OpenSSL 3.x and Python 3.12–3.14 compatibility via `SubjectKeyIdentifier` and `AuthorityKeyIdentifier` certificate extensions.
+  - Generates and signs client certificates on demand via `POST /api/client/enroll`.
+
+- **In-Flight Certificate Validity Watchdog & Dynamic SSLContext Reloading**:
+  - Server hub runs a continuous background watchdog coroutine (`cert_validity_watchdog`, evaluated every 12 hours) alongside startup checks.
+  - Automatically checks Root CA and server TLS certificate expiration against a 30-day threshold.
+  - Generates renewed certificates on disk with timestamped backups (`.bak`), and reloads active `ssl.SSLContext` in memory dynamically without dropping socket listeners or restarting the background service.
+
+- **Client Proactive Expiry Check & Reactive Self-Healing Auto-Renewal**:
+  - **Proactive**: Forwarders (`Win_Client.py` and `Linux_Client.py`) evaluate `client.crt` validity before each run, auto-renewing via `/api/client/enroll` if expiring within 30 days.
+  - **Reactive**: If the hub rotates its Root CA or a TLS verification error (`ssl.SSLError` / `SSLCertVerificationError`) occurs, clients automatically catch the error, re-enroll with the hub using their enrollment secret, and reconnect cleanly.
+
+- **Database Schema & License Quota Accounting**:
+  - SQLite tables `license_config` (`max_seats`, `enrollment_secret`) and `clients` (`client_id`, `hostname`, `os_type`, `cert_fingerprint`, `status`, timestamps).
+  - Enforces seat limits on enrollment (`HTTP 403 License seat limit reached`) while allowing active registered nodes to re-enroll/renew indefinitely.
+  - Added `GET /api/clients` endpoint for license auditing and telemetry tracking.
+
+- **Automated Service Installers**:
+  - **Windows**: Self-contained Inno Setup installers (`LOGAR-Client-Setup.exe` and `LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`) bundling `nssm.exe` to register, configure, and start Windows services automatically.
+  - **Linux**: Automated installer scripts (`compilation/install_linux_client.sh` and `install_linux_server.sh`) deploying systemd service units with auto-restart policies.
+
+- **CI/CD Release Workflows**:
+  - Windows workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release-windows.yml`) and Linux workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release-linux.yml`) automated to build native executables, installers, and upload release assets on tag push.
 
-### Changes in this Release:
-- **Warning Persistence & Immediate Error Routing**: Restructured temporal verification on the central hub so the 4-run persistence rule across the 12-hour evaluation window strictly governs `WARNING` and `INFO` events to suppress transient blips. High-severity `ERROR`, `CRITICAL`, and `FATAL` events are now promoted to `VERIFIED` immediately on their first occurrence and reported to Hermes without waiting for consecutive runs.
-- **Server Deployment Packages in `out/`**: Added comprehensive deployment guides and configuration templates for both Linux Server hub (systemd service) and Windows Server hub (NSSM service / Task Scheduler) under `out/linux_server` and `out/win_server`.
-- **Refactored Repository Layout**: Reorganized codebase by moving runtime forwarders and server hub into `src/`, compilation/release packaging utilities into `compilation/`, and all unit and pipeline verification tests into `tests/`.
-- **Dual Platform Gitea Release Automation**: Dedicated Windows (`release-windows.yml`) and Linux (`release-linux.yml`) Gitea Actions to compile native platform binaries (`Win_Client.exe` and `Server.exe` on Windows; `Linux_Client.bin` and `Server.bin` on Linux).
-- **Dedicated SHA-256 Checksums**: Release assets now include dedicated checksum files matching `[win/linux]_[client/agent]_sha256sum` (`win_client_sha256sum`, `win_agent_sha256sum`, `win_server_sha256sum`, `linux_client_sha256sum`, `linux_agent_sha256sum`, `linux_server_sha256sum`).
-- **Removed Client Filter Logic**: Removed restrictive source-level noise filtering on edge forwarders. Clients now collect and stream all candidate events from `INFO` up to `ERROR` over the lookback window instead of discarding them at the source.
-- **State Tracking & Deduplication**: Added persistent client state tracking (`client_state.json`) with journalctl cursors and Windows Event Log record numbers to guarantee that previously transmitted events are never resent.
-- **24-Hour Lookback Window**: Forwarders now scan and upload events from the last 24 hours (default `--hours 24`), skipping older entries.
-- **Lightweight Distribution Structure**: Cleaned `out/` to strictly contain deployment documentation and sample configurations.
-- **Automated Gitea CI/CD**: Integrated push testing workflow (`ci.yml`) and multi-platform release asset packaging.
