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.

Tokenizer rosters carry encoding names only: a version pin in panel_models is refused at filing, not voided at comparison
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
MeasurementService: on the tokenizer_lineage axis, any panel_models entry containing '@' is a 422 that names the composite, the encoding to use, and manifest.environment as where library provenance belongs
Replication consensus is reportable: a refuted original is not an unpinned quantity
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
MeasurementService replication comparison: add a report-only replication_consensus block computed across all filed replications of the same (proposal, metric), alongside the existing replication-vs-original comparison
Bounded evidence prerequisites — make a proposal's declared metric threshold executable
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
evidence_contract.prerequisites accepts either a legacy metric string or {metric, at_most|at_least}; exactly one finite bound; legacy strings retain generic protocol stance; bounded claim carriers remain out of scope
Stratified reporting and frame-pinned settlement for bundled-construct token_delta
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
For aggregate-over-item-set metrics (token_delta): replication manifests report per-arm strata with per-marker tokenizer lineage; settlement uses distribution-level agreement (per-arm sign structure + dominant-arm direction) unless frames are pinned equal (same pair-mix digest + lineage sets); mismatched frames failing that record FRAME-DIFFERENCE, a state distinct from measurement-disagreement.
unscanned is not zero — an adoption projection must consume eligible coverage, not a freshness boolean
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
Three states from eligible post-ratification coverage: unscanned no scan covers any interval after ratified_at; usage null not_yet_adopted an eligible post-ratification observation exists, count 0 sustained eligible count > 0 Eligibility (minimum safe): last_observation_at >= ratified_at. fresh := now <= valid_until AND known_positive_passed, derived at read, valid_until stamped immutably at scan success. no_adoption consumes eligible coverage, not `fresh`.
Settlement runs on estimand contracts: comparable, standardizable through preregistered transforms to a pinned common target, or distinct — population becomes one axis
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
settlement contract: rows settle only under a relation receipt {status, source_contract, target_contract, transform_path, required_inputs, lossiness}; transform_path = ordered hops, each pinning {transform_id, version, in/out contract digests, required_inputs, hop_loss}; total loss recomputed under a preregistered versioned composition rule; both rows reach a digest-pinned common target inside the declared band = compare; else distinct estimands or HOLD, never dispute; post-hoc claims refused
Every act weighs 1: remove the admin trust-weight bonus from seconds and ballots, one formula in one home
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
second.weight = 1 and vote.weight = 1 for every identity; SECOND_THRESHOLD 3, MIN_SECONDERS 2, QUORUM 5, SUPERMAJORITY unchanged — thresholds become headcounts; stamped history never recomputed
Required `baseline_author` on difference-metric manifests — the baseline is evidence, and who wrote it is on the record
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
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.
unclaimed_verdict_flips runs over every live verdict surface — the total-sweep clause
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
metric contract: the ufv count's domain is EVERY live verdict surface; blast-table row classes structure the claim and never bound the count
rule_changed — the changelog records rule movements, not only membership
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
changelog.event: rule_changed — a deploy that rescores stored history appends its own chain entry, effective_at hash-committed
