# Normative core extraction (PRD Phase 1)

Extract stable, versioned normative documents from the exploratory concept
draft so that schemas (WP-0002), legal skeleton (WP-0001), and later Trust
Service work share one frozen vocabulary.

**Authority chain:** `spec/TargetRevenueLicenseConcept.md` remains the
concept source. Extracted docs under `specs/` become the day-to-day
normative references for implementers; they must not invent divergent
meanings for core terms (PRD §6.1). Working defaults that affect required
fields (`OpenQuestions-WorkingDefaults.md`) are cited explicitly and marked
provisional until human promotion.

**Sequencing:** Parallel with WP-0001 and WP-0002. Full hosted Trust Service
implementation remains blocked until this workplan’s core extract tasks are
done or explicitly waived (`SCOPE.md` §4).

**Method:** Prefer extract-and-stabilize over rewrite. Copy formulas, rules,
and invariants; add version headers and cross-links; avoid expanding scope
into profiles or federation.

## Extract TargetRevenueFrameworkCore.md

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T01
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "e3e5fa79-2412-45b6-8e55-1cfad01c7136"
```

Produce `specs/TargetRevenueFrameworkCore.md` containing:

- minimal core terminology (concept §7);
- target determination formulas (§8);
- five-verb lifecycle (§9);
- nine core rules (§10);
- foundational invariants (§22);
- conversion legal-technical requirements summary (§18 points 1–7) without
  full license text.

State document version (e.g. TRF-Core-0.1) and that concept §24 open
questions remain open except where working defaults apply provisionally.

## Extract PhaseManifestSpecification.md

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T02
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "c0b4462a-599b-46e0-87bb-53d50129e3cb"
```

Produce `specs/PhaseManifestSpecification.md` from concept §16 and TSD §3.1:

- required / recommended / optional field tiers;
- Stage 0 addition: `longstop_at` required per working default Q8 (mark as
  Stage 0 working default pending promotion);
- immutability and identifier rules;
- validation rules aligned with WP-0002 schemas.

## Extract TargetLedgerSpecification.md

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T03
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "ab11ec85-9c4c-4ca1-bc58-a0a044241c01"
```

Produce `specs/TargetLedgerSpecification.md` from concept §17 and TSD §3.2:

- entry types (closed set);
- recognition (settled payment; working default Q10);
- corrections without erasure;
- hash chain and signature field requirements (algorithm details may
  reference WP-0002 ADR / working default Q14);
- pure Outstanding Target fold definition;
- currency consistency rule (working default Q6).

## Align Monetization Extension specification stub

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T04
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "5129e0a2-8e7c-4279-8b3a-3570778bd749"
```

Produce either a full `specs/MonetizationExtensionSpecification.md` (PRD
Phase 3 item) or a clearly labeled Stage 0 stub that freezes the six-field
extension contract (concept §12, TSD §3.3) and the registered vs canonical
distinction, so WP-0002 validators have a prose normative home. Prefer a
complete short spec if it fits without cataloguing all six profiles (profiles
may remain a follow-on: `CanonicalMonetizationProfiles.md`).

## Cross-link and freeze glossary

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T05
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "ae77d3ac-81ea-4bf9-8e19-21b8d758e9b0"
```

- Add a short “Normative documents” section pointer from README and/or
  concept header to the extracted files once they exist.
- Ensure PRD §6.1 and TSD §0 still point at the correct authority documents.
- List forbidden synonym guidance (e.g. do not use undifferentiated “revenue
  captured” as Outstanding Target input) consistent with CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Confirm no remaining `xxx` or placeholder tails in normative paths.

## Human promotion review (gate)

```task
id: TREV-WP-0003-T06
status: todo
priority: high
human_accept_required: true
state_hub_task_id: "b2ef367b-7c09-4bd7-b0e7-d9deee02000a"
```

Human maintainer reviews T01–T05 extracts for term consistency with concept
and for accidental elevation of working defaults to permanent norm without
labeling. Mark this task `done` only after human accept; agents prepare the
diff and a short review checklist.
