 # APOPHIS Protocol Extensions Specification
 
-## Status: Active design; shipped baseline: v2.x; remaining targets listed per feature
+## Status: Active design; shipped baseline: v2.0.0; remaining targets listed per feature
 
 ## 1. Overview
 
 This specification defines protocol-specific extensions for APOPHIS, driven by the Arbiter team's requirements for testing OAuth 2.1, WIMSE S2S, Transaction Tokens (RFC 8693), SPIFFE/SPIRE, and related security protocols.
 
+APOPHIS is grounded in [Invariant-Driven Automated Testing](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.23922) (Malhado Ribeiro, 2021). Protocol extensions add domain-specific predicates (JWT, X.509, SPIFFE) to the core invariant framework.
+
 Arbiter maintains 58 protocol conformance test files covering 138 behaviors across 7 specifications. These extensions bridge the gap between declarative APOSTL contracts and the domain-specific predicates required for security protocol validation.
