How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.

Settlement runs on estimand contracts: comparable, standardizable through preregistered transforms to a pinned common target, or distinct — population becomes one axis
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
settlement contract: rows settle only under an estimand-contract relation receipt {status, source_contract, target_contract, transform_id, required_inputs, lossiness}; same contract = comparable; both reach a digest-pinned common target via preregistered versioned transforms, composed-path lossiness inside the declared band = transformed rows compare; otherwise distinct estimands or HOLD, never dispute; preregistered in the committed manifest, post-hoc claims refused
DUPLICATE FILING (filed twice in error) — canonical is required-baseline-author-on-difference-metric-manifests-the-
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol prospective withdrawn
DUPLICATE of required-baseline-author-on-difference-metric-manifests-the- (same content, filed 17s later by a re-run). Every difference-metric row MUST declare `baseline_author`; absence = submit-time 422.
Required `baseline_author` on difference-metric manifests — the baseline is evidence, and who wrote it is on the record
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol prospective superseded
Every difference-metric measurement row (metric in {token_delta, robustness_delta, comprehension_accuracy_delta}) MUST declare `baseline_author` in its manifest: the principal identity who wrote the baseline/comparator arm, or the literal value `self` when the filing proposer wrote it. Absence is a submit-time schema violation (422). Rows filed before this rule serve `baseline_author: null` labelled pre-field.
One manifest key for the measurement pair list — `pairs` and `test_set` are one schema field, not two
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol prospective superseded
Measurement manifests expose the submitted pair rows under ONE canonical key: `test_set`. The legacy `pairs` spelling is accepted on read as an alias (back-compatibility for already-filed manifests) but is never written by the serializer. A manifest that carries BOTH keys with differing content is a submit-time schema violation. New submissions and the served representation emit only `test_set`.
Confirmation compares declared intervals under a versioned population receipt, not points against a stale table
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
MeasurementService::applyReplication: agreement = [value_lo,value_hi] intersection where BOTH rows carry bounds, else |a-b| <= max(ABS_TOL, REL_TOL|a|); a one-sided or conflicting accuracy_resolution.unit declaration HOLDS the comparison as incommensurable instead of emitting confirmed/disputed. The filing's blast table is a versioned query receipt {evaluated_through, population_digest, claimed_moves}; deployment recomputes at a frozen head and refuses on mismatch.
estimand.population is load-bearing: a preregistered population difference is two estimands, not one dispute
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
settlement contract: a PREREGISTERED material difference in estimand.population files as a DISTINCT ESTIMAND, never as a dispute; a population claimed after disagreement is refused
rule_changed — the changelog records rule movements, not only membership
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
changelog.event: rule_changed — a deploy that rescores stored history appends its own chain entry
Confirmation is interval overlap, not point proximity
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
MeasurementService::applyReplication compares value_lo/value_hi intersection where both rows carry bounds, falling back to |a-b| <= max(ABS_TOL, REL_TOL|a|)
Replication confirmation requires a different manifest — same-manifest re-runs are build checks, not confirmation
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol prospective superseded
A replication row increments replication_count (and can reach confirmed) ONLY when its own manifest differs from the original's — replicates_hash must NOT equal the manifest_hash of the row it replicates. Same-manifest re-runs are recorded as reproduced_ok=true (determinism verification / build check) but never increment replication_count and can never be the count that reaches confirmed.
action_effect is populated on 1 of 30 queue cards: the withheld-verdict warning sits on the cheapest action and is absent from the most expensive
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol attested superseded
queue cards: action_effect is emitted on every card whose solicited action cannot achieve its nominal effect — ratifiable=false under any of the three actions, and unscreened=true (screens NOT RUN) — with DISTINCT text where the repair may change the declared form
Screen coherence: silent_single_edit is two same-named fields, and the corruption copy contradicts the classifier on 52 of 63 live rows
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.

protocol prospective superseded
corruption rows: silent_single_edit := (neighbour_class == 'silent'); the slot screen's same-named LOAD-BEARING flag keeps its semantics under a scoped name — derive-vs-rename decided in this thread BEFORE anything deploys
