+File:

+```text

+```
+
+Purpose:
+
+Defines how implementations can declare claimed DigiEmu Core conformance levels.
+
+It supports:
+
+- implementation identification
+- declared conformance levels
+- supported capabilities
+- supported test vectors
+- known limitations
+- declaration status
+- relationship to Conformance v0.9
+- relationship to Verify Report Schema v0.9
+
+This gives implementers a reviewable way to state which DigiEmu Core conformance level they claim to support.
