Version history
Every version of the Standard is preserved as a version of record — never deleted, never silently rewritten. Each entry names what changed and why; each staged or published revision is emitted through a governed flow and carries a seal an independent party can re-derive. A specification whose own history is verifiable is held to the same standard it specifies.
Sealed revisions are frozen at per-revision URLs (/standard/<rev>/). A frozen URL
serves exactly the sealed bytes, with a status line naming whether it is current or superseded; an unknown
revision answers 404 — never the latest text. The policy is written down on
the lifecycle page.
Requirement IDs (GAA-*) are stable across versions: a citation of a requirement remains
valid regardless of which section number carries it in a given edition. Cite the ID, not the section.
Per-revision seal pointers were withdrawn from this page on 2026-08-28: the chain ids previously shown addressed the steward's whole commit record, not the single act of sealing each revision. A revision seal must carry a per-act pointer (an act hash); none is shown until one exists.
Site act — ecosystem-face v2 staged (2026-07-30)
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| What it is | Not a text revision — a governed act of the steward's site, sealed through the same flow the specification uses: frozen per-revision URLs (r1), this changelog with per-revision verify chips, the lifecycle policy, the documentation tracks, the GAP register, and the ecosystem map. The specification text did not change; r1 remains current. |
| Governed seal | the governed act "AASI staged ecosystem-face v2" was sealed through the steward's governed commit. (The chain id formerly shown here addressed the steward's whole commit record rather than this act, and was withdrawn on 2026-08-28.) Sealing is not publishing. |
r2 — canonical itemized edition, revision 2 (DRAFT) — current
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Date sealed | 2026-10-18 |
| Status | Current. DRAFT — steward edition. Published on the canonical face; nothing on this page claims ratification or adoption. |
| Frozen text | /standard/r2/ (this revision, frozen — served with its status line). The living text: /standard/text, currently byte-identical to r2. |
| Summary of change | Adds §8.1 — correlated receipts and the counter-receipt profile
(requirement IDs GAA-CREC-1…GAA-CREC-13): how two parties' records of one interaction are
joined on a PII-free correlation key (a hash both parties already hold — never a value), and what a counterparty may
emit, signed, so the correlation is intentional — what it checked, what it allowed, over the same keys, beside the raw log
lines it binds by hash, verifiable by anyone from published formats and keys. Adds §12.7 (GAA-CONF-CREC-1,
the six conformance rows), four references (RFC 8785; IETF SCITT / COSE Receipts; ID-JAG + RFC 7519; RFC 3161) and one
sentence in "Citing this specification". No other normative statement changed; r1's text is preserved unchanged at its
URL. The source of the addition is the steward's per-version text v0.7 (2026-10-18), published as a dated defensive
publication; the correlation-key half is live in the founder's reference implementation; no counter-receipt exists in
the field yet. |
| Governed seal | The publication act is the governed write of the section rule
standard.governed_agent_authority.correlated_receipts.v0.7 (proposed, operator-approved, applied, sealed
2026-10-18): chain 00mvdfiv0p-6fca77201662cd9e — select it to re-derive
the seal keyless, in your browser (verify endpoint: verify.braas.dev). No per-act pointer is shown for the freezing of these bytes
(the S6 rule: a revision seal must address the single act of sealing this revision); the frozen artifact's sha-256
below is the pin. |

r1 — canonical itemized edition (DRAFT) — superseded by r2
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Date sealed | 2026-07-25 |
| Status | Superseded by r2 on 2026-10-18. DRAFT — steward edition. Preserved unchanged and citable at its URL; it is no longer the current text. (At sealing it was staged, private and non-indexed; the face went public on 2026-07-31.) |
| Frozen text | /standard/r1/ (this revision, frozen — served with its status line). The living text: /standard/text, now byte-identical to r2 (it was byte-identical to r1 until 2026-10-18). |
| Summary of change | RFC-grade itemization of the prior steward wording pass: stable
GAA-* requirement IDs on every normative statement, uniform integer section numbering,
new §Conformance (consolidated) · §Security Considerations · §Registry ·
§References. A content-loss guard (statement-count parity) proved the transform pure: zero normative
statements lost; two added, both in the new sections. Recorded as proposal
GAP-1. |
| Governed seal | the governed act "staged the canonical itemized DRAFT" was sealed through the steward's governed commit. (The chain id formerly shown here addressed the steward's whole commit record rather than this act, and was withdrawn on 2026-08-28.) Sealing is not publishing — this entry records a staged draft, honestly. |

Prior — steward-edition wording pass
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Date | 2026-07-24 |
| Status | Superseded by r1; preserved as a version of record in the steward's repository. |
| Summary of change | Re-voiced the specification under Institute stewardship (impersonal, normative, no vendor in normative text) and folded the full section set — vocabulary, agent classes, authority composition, the seven controls, the disclosure map, receipts, site-integration, cryptographic agility, substrate scope — into one edition. |
| Governed seal | None — this pass predates the sealed-revision practice. The practice began with r1 and applies to every revision after it. |
Earlier published sections
The earlier per-section publications (authority composition; receipts; site-integration) remain versions of record in the steward's repository. The open reconciliation of the one overall version number is settled at first public release; requirement IDs make citations independent of that outcome.
