Maintainer (Bernd) accepted 2026-07-29: trsl:policy:linear-longstop-v0
is confirmed as the degeneration formula for the first pilot cohort,
per T01's recommendation - already implemented/tested, pilot-ready
today. progress-paused-longstop-v1 remains the named next iteration,
not required before WP-0008's pilot Phases proceed. Updates
OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md Q7 from "working default" to
"Adopted 2026-07-29." All 4 WP-0007 tasks now done; workplan finished.
T01: specs/TargetDegenerationPolicyResearch.md. Survey finds no
precedent (BSL/FSL/Elastic) implements progress-sensitive degeneration
- TRSL's model is original design. Proposes a candidate v1 formula
(90-day rolling "quiet period" pause on Remission Credit accrual
during active Development Credit periods), resolves the
contributor-diversity input as explicitly not-adopted (no
gaming-resistant signal exists yet), and resolves the
longstop/progress-sensitivity relationship as a hard, unconditional
backstop. Does not recommend v0 vs v1 for T02 - that's the human gate.
T02: recommendation added (confirm v0 for the first pilot cohort, name
v1 as the next iteration) - left todo per the human-accept policy.
T03: specs/CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md with worked narratives for
all six catalog profiles, plus two new fixtures (product-ideation,
general-consulting), both schema-validated and added to the
parametrized conformance test.
T04: specs/CanonicalizationReviewChecklist.md, an 8-item checklist
layered on the already-implemented promote_extension_canonical()
mechanism (WP-0006-T03) - defines what a reviewer must verify, not a
new promotion mechanism.
With WP-0001/0002/0003 finished, PRD Phase 4b (hosted Trust Service) is
unblocked per SCOPE.md's own sequencing rule, and the midterm goal shifts
from framework design to practical application: governing and monetizing
repos across the coulomb Forgejo org's product lines (coulomb-loop,
net-kingdom, helix-forge, the railiance-* family).
- TREV-WP-0006: Trust Service reference implementation (PRD Phase 4b).
Eight tasks from PRD to conformance-tested hosted service, explicit that
it builds infrastructure only - no real payments or Phase tracking.
- TREV-WP-0007: Degeneration policy finalization (PRD Phase 5) and the
full canonical monetization profile catalog (remainder of Phase 3) -
pilot Phases can't responsibly launch on the placeholder pilot policy
and one-line profile defaults alone.
- TREV-WP-0008: Governance formalization (PRD Phase 7) and pilot rollout
preparation. Forces a real design decision the framework never had to
answer while single-repo-hypothetical: who is "the Licensor" across four
independent product lines. Produces draft, non-binding Phase Manifests
as worked examples for one repo per product line, and a CLA draft.
All three explicitly preserve SCOPE.md's existing "no production Phases
until legal review" guardrail rather than overriding it under pressure to
monetize real repos: WP-0008-T05 is a dedicated, human-gated go-live
decision, and no other task in any of the three workplans is permitted to
authorize a real Phase, real Commercial Entitlement sale, or real
Development Credit tracking.
Updates SCOPE.md (new Stage 0/Stage 1 maturity table, revised out-of-scope
table distinguishing "infrastructure in scope" from "going live still
gated"), PRD roadmap (Phase 4b/5/7 now active, pointing at the new
workplans), and README's active-work table accordingly.
