Version History
- Layer: 6 — Evolution & Adaptation
- Status: Active — updated with each adopted change
- RCOS reference: §8.2, §8.6
This is the authoritative human-readable record of all adopted changes to EcoHubs’ RCOS implementation. The currently active version is the most recent entry at the top of this file. Superseded rules remain accessible via git history.
Current Version: v0.0 — Repository Initialized
RCOS definition8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.2.5, 8.6.4, 8.7.2
- 8.2.1 All adopted changes MUST be versioned and traceable.
- 8.2.2 The community MUST maintain a **Version History** that records, at minimum:
- 8.2.3 At any point in time, the community MUST be able to unambiguously determine:
- 8.2.4 Superseded rules MUST remain accessible for auditability, learning, and dispute resolution, together with the dates during which they were in force.
- 8.2.5 No informal, undocumented, or “understood” rule changes MAY be considered valid.
- 8.6.4 The Version History MUST define:
- 8.7.2 All adopted changes MUST be versioned, documented, and traceable.
Why record every adopted change?
Governance that cannot point to “what changed, when, and why” is indistinguishable from governance by whoever speaks loudest. A single append-only ledger of adopted changes — with the superseded versions preserved in git — makes the current state of the rules unambiguous and gives members, auditors, and future stewards a way to reconstruct the path that got us here.
