 ## What Is CyberRanger?
 
 CyberRanger is a security-hardened Small Language Model (SLM) built to resist adversarial prompt injection (jailbreaking). Starting from publicly available open-source base models (Qwen2.5, Qwen3, SmolLM2), the project investigates whether a combination of identity-anchoring system prompts and QLoRA fine-tuning can produce models that refuse adversarial manipulation while remaining helpful for legitimate cybersecurity tasks.
 
+The project began as RangerBot — a personal AI identity persistence project started in June 2025. The CyberRanger security research formally began on 30 September 2025 when the CA was assigned, reaching V42 Gold by 5 March 2026 — approximately 3 weeks of intensive empirical work from V24 to V42.
+
 **Key result:** CyberRanger V42 Gold achieved 100% block rate on 4,209 real-world injection payloads extracted from the Moltbook AI-agent social platform — with no system prompt dependency.
 
 ## Research Timeline
 
+### RangerBot Foundation (June — September 2025)
+Personal project exploring AI identity persistence through shared memory databases, signed logs, and identity files. This pre-research phase established that identity instructions function as powerful behavioural attractors — the theoretical seed of the CyberRanger security architecture.

+### CyberRanger CA (September 2025 — March 2026)
+
 | Phase | Versions | Period | Key Discovery |
 |-------|----------|--------|---------------|
-| Foundation | V1-V4 | Sept-Oct 2025 | Prompting alone insufficient for high-level resistance |
+| Genesis | V1-V4 | Sept-Oct 2025 | First identity-anchored SLMs, prompting alone insufficient |
 | Weight Training | V5-V8 | Oct 2025 | First 0% ASR — but over-refusal problem (model refused everything) |
 | Brain Split | V9-V13 | Nov 2025 | Left/right/judge architecture — unpredictable behaviour |
 | Nervous System | V14-V18 | Nov 2025 | Ring 14.x architecture introduced — first warm + secure model |
 | Apotheosis | V19-V22 | Dec 2025 | Apotheosis Discovery — prompt-only achieves 92% block rate |
-| Full Benchmark | V23-V33 | Jan-Feb 2026 | V33-8B: 100% JailbreakBench, 86% MultiJail (10 languages) |
-| QLoRA Gold | V34-V42 | Feb-Mar 2026 | V42 Gold: 100% on 4,209 real payloads without system prompt |
+| Intelligence Floor | V23-V25 | Nov 2025 | 3B minimum parameter threshold confirmed |
+| Full Benchmark | V26-V33 | Jan-Feb 2026 | V33-8B: 100% JailbreakBench, 86% MultiJail (10 languages) |
+| Empirical Sweep | V34-V42 | 12 Feb — 5 Mar 2026 | V42 Gold: 100% on 4,209 real payloads without system prompt |
+
+**Note:** CyberRanger V24 through V42.6 (32 versions) were built between 12 February and 5 March 2026 — three weeks of intensive empirical work.
