Use as the waiver gate before EU dark venue selection. The named double volume cap no longer exists: Regulation 2024/791 replaced it with a single 7% Union-wide cap on the reference price waiver, enforced from ESMA-published data.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

ESMA's September 2025 file was the last DVC publication, every DVC suspension expired on 28 September 2025, and the monitored period for the new cap began 29 September 2025 (Art. 5(8)). The first Volume Cap results file was published 9 October 2025, with suspensions running 14 October 2025 to 13 January 2026, and ESMA publishes quarterly thereafter. Reach for it when you need to answer one question per order: *may this order use the waiver it is asking for today?* ## When NOT to Use …

This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
