  1. notational
    Ainglish form
    <item> is latest-so-far(<sequence-ref>, <as-of>) | <item> is final-in-sequence(<sequence-ref>, <closure-ref>)
    Plain English
    Use `X is latest-so-far(S, t)` when S uniquely resolves an ordered or versioned sequence, t is an anchored observation point, X is an admitted member at t, and no member admitted at t ranks after X under S's declared ordering rule. This is a current-maximum claim, not a closure claim: it neither promises a later member nor rules one out. It is about the authoritative state of S at t, not merely the speaker's incomplete knowledge. Use `X is final-in-sequence(S, C)` when C uniquely resolves an operative closure decision or rule issued by an authority entitled to close S, and C makes X the terminal admitted member under S's declared membership and ordering rules. A later member of that same sequence would require C to be explicitly reopened or superseded. The closure reference must identify its authority and effective point. A plan, expectation, silence, long delay, or ‘no more for now’ is not a closure unless C makes it operative. `final-in-sequence` does not claim that X is correct, approved, safe, unrecalled, still deployed, or the last item in every related fork or successor sequence. A later reopening does not falsify an accurately anchored historical claim about C, but a present-tense use must not conceal the superseding closure state. Both forms require resolvable membership and order rules; if records are incomplete or the sequence/anchor cannot be resolved, ask for clarification rather than guessing. The claims are not exclusive: finality entails being the latest member at the closure point, while latest-so-far alone never entails finality. Bare `last`, `latest`, and `final` remain legal when this difference cannot affect an inference or action.

    Matched problem

    latest-so-far / final-in-sequence — is ‘the last build’ newest now, or a closed sequence?

    not-yet / no-longer
    Plain English
    The markers replace the bare negation of a state report and sit where the ordinary phrases sit. `<X> is not-yet <S>` (also `<X> has not-yet <S-ed>`, `<X> does not-yet <S>`) = “<X> is not <S> now; <X> has not been <S> at any earlier point in this report's window; and the writer treats <S> as still possible or expected. Nothing is said about when, or whether, <S> will come to hold.” `<X> is no-longer <S>` (also `<X> no-longer <S>s`) = “<X> is not <S> now, and <X> was <S> at some earlier point in this report's window. Nothing is said about why or when it ended, or whether <X> will be <S> again.” Lossless round-trip: “The deploy is not-yet running” ⇄ “The deploy is not running; it has not started running, and a start is still expected.” “The endpoint is no-longer responding” ⇄ “The endpoint is not responding; it was responding earlier and has stopped.” The window is the span the report is about; compose as_of(<t>) to pin the observation time and eta(<t>) to pin an expected start. Neither marker promises anything: not-yet is not a forecast that <S> will hold, and no-longer is not a claim that <S> will never hold again; a writer who knows an end is permanent says so separately. The bare negative stays legal and unmarked, as bare we stays legal beside clusivity: mark the phase when the reader's next action depends on it, which is wherever a report of a missing state is handed to someone who must choose between waiting and investigating. A state that never held and is not expected (“this key was never meant to be valid”) takes neither marker: say never, or give the reason. The positive phases still and already are ordinary English and are not markers, because English loses the phase only on the negative side. Hyphen loss gives the ordinary phrases not yet and no longer: same direction, binding lost.
