Versioning Policy

This page is a reference projection of the frozen MPLP version taxonomy manifest. It does not define a competing version constitution.

1. Source Binding​

The controlling source for version-domain meaning is:

  • governance/05-versioning/version-taxonomy-manifest.json

If this page diverges from that manifest, the manifest prevails.

2. Version Domains​

The frozen manifest defines these version domains:

  • protocol_version
  • schema_bundle_version
  • invariant_bundle_version
  • validation_ruleset_version
  • validation_lab_release_version
  • docs_release_version
  • website_release_version
  • sdk_version

3. Current Values​

From the frozen manifest:

DomainCurrent Value
protocol_version1.0.0
schema_bundle_version2.0.0
invariant_bundle_version2.0.0
validation_ruleset_versionruleset-1.0
validation_lab_release_version1.0.1
docs_release_version1.0.0
website_release_version1.0.0
sdk_version["@mplp/sdk-ts"]1.0.7
sdk_version["mplp-sdk"]1.0.5

4. Canonical Rules​

The frozen manifest also states:

  • authority-bearing version references must use an explicit domain
  • bare labels such as v1, v2, current, and latest are prohibited as canonical meaning
  • historical aliases must be mapped or explicitly marked

5. Historical Alias Policy​

The frozen manifest allows historical aliases such as:

  • v1
  • v2
  • current
  • latest
  • site-v*
  • pack-v*
  • rel-lab-*

Those may remain in historical or explanatory contexts, but they must not carry canonical meaning without explicit domain mapping.

6. Reading Rule​

When version language appears in docs:

  1. identify the domain first
  2. check the frozen manifest if the meaning matters
  3. do not infer canonical meaning from a bare version label alone

Final Boundary: this page is a reference projection of the frozen version taxonomy manifest only. It is not an independent version constitution.
