The same fact lived in nine hand-kept places and they disagreed about 58
proposals. This makes the file the only authority and everything else a
projection of it.
ONE VOCABULARY, in vocabulary.json, read by the lint, the generator and the
doc site. Three words, each answering "can I rely on this?" and nothing else:
Draft nothing implements it yet, or its own text says the work is ahead
Final the thing it specifies exists in the code
Living governance and process: amended in place, never finished
Eight spellings folded in. `Active` was the one doing real damage: on four Meta
and Process HIPs it meant living, on 48 others it meant shipped, and one word
doing two jobs is why nothing agreed. `Review` and `Last Call` described a
queue rather than a document, and a proposal under review is still one you
cannot build against.
STATUS IS EARNED, not declared. Every Standards Track proposal was checked
against the estate: 235 have their implementation, and eight do not and say so.
HIP-0095 carries a twelve-week plan ending at "mainnet launch" and has no code.
HIP-0525 specifies an all-machine meeting while apps/meet refuses a machine a
seat. HIP-0078 names a prover at a "planned location" that does not exist.
HIP-0114 is the cog.* procedure set, and that procedure set returns nothing.
HIP-0003, HIP-0102, HIP-0305 and HIP-0901 likewise: looked, found nothing.
SIXTEEN TOMBSTONES DELETED rather than statused. A dead document kept alive in
the index is one concept wearing two names. Each successor exists and carries
the text, and the 90 references that pointed at a tombstone now point at it --
whole markdown links at once, so link text cannot outlive its target. Three of
the sixteen were pure compatibility: HIP-0028 specified a migration off a
Bitnami chart, HIP-0029 dual-engine MySQL, HIP-0030 a schema-deprecation
policy. We ship no backwards compatibility, so we do not specify it.
Nine links were already broken and had been since the corpus was renumbered:
short-form ./hip-5.md paths that never existed. Two named the wrong proposal --
one cited "HIP-1: Hanzo Multimodal Models" where multimodal is HIP-0003.
THE GENERATOR REFUSES more often than it writes, because a short table looks
exactly as authoritative as a complete one. Rows must equal files; a shrinking
index must say by how much; a section whose input is missing is an error, not
an omission; nothing is written until all of it validates. Its self-test breaks
the corpus eleven ways and requires each to refuse AND leave README byte-
identical -- a guard that reports after half-writing has protected nothing.
The lint's second implementation of the same comparison is gone.
The site rendered 52 proposals with a fallback grey badge and counted them
toward none of its three stat tiles, because docs/lib/source.ts declared a
status union by hand: it admitted a `Stagnant` no file has ever carried and
omitted the one 52 files did. Five components each kept their own copy of the
colours. All six now read vocabulary.json.
