canon/meta: add status / superseded_by / governs / session_span fields to frontmatter schema#116
Merged
Conversation
…rontmatter schema Closes the O-open P1 item from the validator report on PRs #113/#114/#115. The validator flagged that PR #113 and PR #114 used fields the schema did not yet declare (status, superseded_by, governs, session_span on docs/odd audiences). Per the schema's own rule — update-first-use-second — the correct sequencing was inverted. This PR closes the gap. Additive only. No existing row changed except canon.status (now includes "superseded" as a valid value). - canon: status gains 'superseded', new superseded_by row - docs: new status row, new superseded_by row - odd: new complements/governs/status/session_span rows epoch/date bumped to E0008.3 / 2026-04-19 to mark this revision.

…lease Three files: - odd/ledger/2026-04-19-validator-closeout-and-0.17.0.md — retrospective session record with full DOLCHEO, timeline, and per-check dispositions - odd/handoffs/2026-04-20-post-closeout.md — thin forward-pointing handoff for the next session; includes the ready-to-paste thin prompt - odd/handoffs/2026-04-20-fresh-session-continuation.md — marked superseded (status: superseded, superseded_by: post-closeout) using the fields just added to the schema in PR #116 Ships 0.17.0 provenance into the codebase. Next session can boot on P1.2 with the thin prompt in the post-closeout handoff.

What
Adds missing optional fields to the frontmatter schema that recent PRs already use:
statusvalues now include"superseded"; newsuperseded_byrow (paired with existingsupersedes)statusrow, newsuperseded_byrowcomplements,governs,status,session_spanrowsWhy
Closes the single open item from the validator report on PRs #113/#114/#115 (Sonnet 4.6 validation, VERIFIED verdict, advisory findings FM-1 and FM-2). PR #113 used
status: superseded+superseded_byon a docs doc, PR #114 usedstatus,governs,session_spanon an odd handoff. Both were semantically correct, but the schema's own rule says update-first-use-second. That sequencing was inverted. This closes the gap.Tracked in

Note
Low Risk
Low risk: documentation-only changes that expand the allowed frontmatter fields/values; no runtime code paths are modified.
