SE v1 Contract Freeze

Date: 2025-12-15

This document records the SE v1 contract freeze.

Summary:

• The conversion state ladder is frozen: ACCEPTED, CONVERTIBLE, STRUCTURED, VALID, READY.
• Any change to this set requires a schema version bump and an explicit decision recorded in docs/decision_log.md.
• Artifact contracts, readiness gradients, and governance exports are now part of the public contract for SE v1.

Guarantees:

• conversion_state values are stable and emitted in manifest.json and summary.json.
• artifact_contract_summary will not list guaranteed artifacts unless conversion_state == READY.
• governance_bundle.json is a deterministic export capturing audit-relevant run state.

See docs/CONTRACTS.md and docs/SE_STATE.md for usage guidance and observability expectations.
