Changelog

Overview

This page records structural, policy, and documentation changes across PVERSE Docs. It tracks how the documentation evolves over time, not on-chain events, runtime system state, or operational incidents.

The Docs Changelog is a documentation-history surface. It preserves how the docs set changed, why a page moved, when a lane was introduced, when a naming rule was clarified, and how shared interpretation standards evolved.

Scope

Docs Changelog is for documentation-level changes such as:

• navigation and hierarchy changes
• page additions, removals, and reorganizations
• terminology and definitions updates
• boundary and responsibility clarifications such as Docs vs SSOT vs code
• versioning-policy or conventions changes
• metadata and template standardization

Docs Changelog does not record:

• token allocation or supply events
• market activation or trading state transitions
• infrastructure incidents or outage reports
• ledger or database state changes
• on-chain events

Core Model

The changelog is append-only, structure-aware, and meaning-aware. A Docs Changelog entry should answer one of these questions: what changed in the documentation structure, what changed in documentation meaning, or what changed in documentation policy.

• history is preserved and not silently rewritten
• newest entries appear first
• documentation meaning changes are logged, not implied
• lane-specific changes may live in lane changelogs, but docs-wide structural changes belong here

Operational Behavior

When a docs-wide structure changes, such as adding a lane, renaming a shared route, or introducing a new documentation policy, that change should be logged here. If a change affects only one lane’s internal content, it should normally be logged in that lane’s own changelog and optionally referenced here if the wider docs structure or reading model changed.

Corrections must be additive. If an earlier entry needs clarification, create a later entry that references the correction rather than editing the old historical meaning out of existence.

Constraints

• this page is not a deployment log, incident feed, or token event history
• trivial cosmetic edits should not flood the changelog unless they affect interpretation or structure
• lane-specific implementation detail should stay in lane-local changelogs where possible
• dates and version references should remain stable and machine-readable

Integrity Considerations

Docs Changelog exists to preserve documentation memory. Without it, readers lose the ability to tell when a policy interpretation changed, when a lane split happened, or when a naming standard became canonical. This page protects that history by making documentation evolution explicit.

• append-only history preserves reader trust
• scope separation prevents docs history from becoming a generic system log
• version references make structure changes easier to audit later

Version Reference

Docs use a versioned documentation model. Structural releases increment the Docs version. Version badges shown in the sidebar reflect the current Docs release line.

Changelog Format

Each entry follows a strict format to stay machine-readable and human-readable.

Entry Format

## YYYY-MM-DD — Version X.X

### Added
- ...

### Changed
- ...

### Clarified
- ...

### Removed
- ...

Allowed Change Types

• Added — new pages, new sections, new lanes, new standards
• Changed — modified structure, updated rules, navigation changes
• Clarified — boundary clarifications and phrasing improvements without changing the core intent invisibly
• Removed — deletions or retirements
• Deprecated — retained but discouraged, usually scheduled for later removal

Entries

Relationship to Other Changelogs

This changelog covers Docs-level changes only. Lane-specific changelogs exist for deeper scope.

• Token changelog records token documentation updates.
• Infrastructure changelog records infrastructure documentation updates.
• Market changelog records market documentation updates.
• Security changelog records security documentation updates.

Invariants

• append-only entries; never rewrite history
• newest entries appear first
• dates use ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD
• Docs version increments on structural releases
• changelog language stays precise, descriptive, and operational

Future Expansion

This page may expand over time as the docs set grows, new lanes are introduced, or broader cross-lane policy changes become more frequent. Even as it grows, it should remain a documentation-history surface rather than turning into a generic status feed or infrastructure incident log.

Summary

• Docs Changelog preserves the documentation timeline as an append-only historical record.
• It records structure, policy, naming, and interpretation changes across the docs system.
• It does not record runtime, on-chain, token, or infrastructure incident history.
• Lane-specific changelogs should be used for lane-local content evolution.
