Schema and source preparation review

Date: 2026-09-24 · Reviewer: codex (self-review)

Schema decisions

The working 0.1 contract resolves the initial review's representation issues:

• Stable FEP-NNNN pattern identities independent of mutable family/scale labels.
• Editorial status separated from evidence maturity; seed remains a catalog label.
• Explicit scale lists and registered kebab-case force IDs.
• Conditions in prerequisites; pattern dependencies use typed requires edges.
• Typed relation targets with justification and local evidence references.
• Source IDs, review paths and claim labels form a traceable citation chain.

The isolated synthetic examples exercise two pattern IDs, a relation endpoint, force lookup and a source/review/claim reference. No example becomes a corpus pattern. make schema-test checks agreement and resolution. A comprehensive validator and migrations for future versions remain in FEP-WP-0004.

Outcome for FEP-WP-0002-T01: complete. This settles serialization for the first cycle; it does not validate the nine-responsibility theory or any candidate pattern.

Primary-source preparation

SRC-0001 is the author's DEV publication, linked from Ryan Carniato's profile. Its displayed date is Sep 22; the API metadata request was denied, so the year has not been independently verified. The packet pins the accessed web edition. SRC-0002 is the authors' Ink & Switch essay, dated April 2019; it supplies a conference citation and DOI. We use the web edition, not an assumed identical PDF.

Both packets retain short original passages, exact section/sentence locators, clear editorial boundaries, source URLs and SHA-256 digests. They isolate authority placement rather than attempting full article extraction. No existing research stub was used as a substitute for a primary source. Each workspace has a four-call plan; neither has been executed or independently reviewed.

Next evidence work

Run the two bounded investigations, inspect claim fidelity and negative results, then extend source review to mutation, persistence, reconciliation and recovery. Do not complete FEP-WP-0002-T02 on the basis of these excerpts. The full case reviews, independent known uses, six-to-ten-pattern synthesis and VC-01/VC-02 remain open. No provider/model was chosen and no paid generation was started in this preparation.
