The Principia Machina/GTP/17 Index of record

Documentation, non-normative; machine-optimized text: section INDEX OF RECORD of the text published under the name GTP. Part of GTP and the TPM hub. Written against TPS 0.1.0, part 6, the AGENT CONTRACT, which taken as a runnable instruction set is GTP and carries no version of its own (TPS 1.2.6). This text carries no version and no genesis line; where it and TPS differ, TPS governs (D174.1). Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). The text below is this section, verbatim; the whole text and its file fingerprint are on The Principia Machina/GTP. Human readers: the contents page is the map.

INDEX OF RECORD
17.1 A project MUST designate an index of record, and the instruction set
     MUST name it.
17.2 A page or file in the index is identified by title plus content
     hash, never by a revision number that does not survive export.
17.3 The index MUST carry the instruction-artifact class with each
     artifact's version, its declared range and its status.
17.4 Documentation is an escalation target for its own class only.
17.5 The index grows monotonically. Retirement is a state, not a removal.
