Provenance — schema-evolution discovery, imported 2026-08-09
01This directory is a byte-for-byte import of
C:\Users\olegc\git\v\discovery\vibevm-schema-evolution-discovery\ (the
original stays in place; pointers in CONTINUE.md, vibevm/vibespecs/WAL.xml and
BACKLOG.md ##owner-decisions refer to it). Imported so the study obeys the
project's own law — files inside the repository are the only shared memory —
after the owner flagged the out-of-tree location as a fragility.
02Genre: research documents (comparative-research flow). Non-binding. The
study speaks in dated verbatim quotes; 02-primary-sources-cache/ holds the
third-party primary sources it cites (same posture as refs/ — reference
copies, not authored content, not relicensable). Reading order and the
mandatory-reading list live in 12-HANDOFF.xml §2.
03What came of it (the two-way links):
- 04Contract:
vibevm/vibespecs/common/PROP-044-change-native-formats.xml— the change-native formats ideology this study fed. - Lore:
vibevm/vibespecs/design/change-native-formats-verdict.xml— the convened-council verdict that chose the architecture, recorded in full. - Plan: the change-native build campaign this study fed (TZ v0.1) — executed whole and folded into its tombstone 2026-08-18; a closed plan is cited by name and date, never path-linked (the B-088 law).
05This subtree is deliberately outside the progress-markup corpus
(progress.toml includes are enumerated and do not name vibevm/vibespecs/research/**):
these are evidence documents, not contracts — per the campaign's own line,
a document enters the corpus when it asserts something this project could be
wrong about as a claim of its own; a study's claims are claims about others,
kept with their quotes and re-fetch lists instead of verdicts.
