Terms used across this project's design record, exported from the repository.
An RFC or ADR created directly in a terminal status to record a decision taken before it was written. Its front matter carries a backfilled date alongside the historical created and decided dates, and it requires a Sources section.
A document that is not frozen: any spec page, any ref, and any RFC or ADR whose status on the configured branch is not terminal.
An RFC or ADR that an accepted document obsoletes. Obsolescence claimed by a document in any other status has no effect.
An RFC or ADR that exists on the configured branch with a terminal status. Lint reports any change to it and every writer refuses one.
The name a numbered document is referred to by: the uppercased type, a hyphen and a four-digit number, derived from the filename.
An accepted RFC or ADR that some spec page includes.
A spec page, identified by its path below spec/ without the extension.
The directory under which the document directories, README.md, PROCESS.md and INDEX.md live. Named in archdoc.json relative to that file, and at or below it.
The part of a numbered document's filename after the number, derived from the title at creation and never changed by the tool.
A spec page that includes a document that is effectively obsolete.
One of the statuses accepted, rejected or withdrawn. A document with a terminal status has no outgoing transition.
