Documentation only. No Rust, no .tex, no vectors, no implementation.
Records the ratified schema-minor epochs (minors 2-9, one per additive event:
M2c, Push 3, Phase-3 tranche 1, Pass-12 G-pass, schema-major-2 repeat revision,
Push 4a, G1, G2a). These are schema-minor epochs, not companion semver.
The ladder is complete against spec/AUDIT_GMINOR_VOCABULARIES.md - every
post-baseline variant appears exactly once - and monotonic in the topological
order of the commits that introduced each variant, which is what makes a
declared minor prefix-closed. Verified against git rather than assumed,
including the two events sharing 2026-07-07.
Major baselines unchanged: V0 minor 1, V1-V3 minor 0. Baseline variants impose
no additive override; M2c's operation kinds stay baseline while its
PreconditionFailureReason append requires epoch 2.
Manifest::SCHEMA is narrowly superseded. Changed child ChunkRefs still never
raise the manifest minor, but emitted barrier tags do: a manifest naming a tag
in 24-33 takes that tag's epoch. Major stays 0. The derivation seam is left to
the implementation contract, with the case that must not be discovered late
written down - epiphany-bundle depends on neither ops nor layout-ir and
preserves barrier bytes verbatim, so a repack can carry a blob it cannot
decode, and "decode and inspect" does not cover it.
PLAN_GENESIS_OPS.md:257 no longer says "per-kind minor". That policy was
rejected; the paragraph now carries the ratified rule and records why.
Every gate in PLAN_GMINOR_SCHEMA_MINOR.md section 5 is discharged. The
implementation contract may now be drafted.
