Spec versioning policy

August 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Each specification carries an integer Version field in its header. The number is a compatibility class, not a per-revision counter: 1 for a formalization that a pre-existing component keeps working against, 2 for one that requires coordinated change. Editorial revisions bump the revision number in the spec header, not Version.

See appendix/versioning.md for the full compatibility-class policy.
