+## EnergiBridge Interop (IR)
+- This repo now includes a lightweight EnergiBridge-compatible intermediate representation (IR) to map edge primitives to a common cross-venue interface.
+- Key primitives:
+- LocalMarketContext: per-venue local state snapshot.
+- SharedSignalsIR: IR payload carrying core metrics plus optional privacy budgets and version metadata.
+- Converter: EdgeSignalProcessor.to_ir(signals, context, privacy_budget, version) converts SharedSignals into SharedSignalsIR.
+
+Usage sketch:
+- Compute signals via EdgeSignalProcessor.extract_signals(feed).
+- Optionally attach a LocalMarketContext for venue context.
+- Convert to IR via EdgeSignalProcessor.to_ir(signals, context, privacy_budget=0.25, version=1).
+
+This addition enables pluggable adapters to interoperate with a canonical IR without altering existing consumers of SharedSignals.
+
 This project is designed to be production-friendly, with a real packaging setup, tests, and a clear readme that explains how to extend the system.
 
 See pyproject.toml for packaging configuration and the src/edgemarketsignal package for the implementation details.
