v1 stability

The grammar is frozen at v1. Changes to normative behavior (grammar, compilation, evaluation, receipt) require an RFC — see rfcs/README.md and GOVERNANCE.md. Editorial improvements (typos, clarifications, examples, conformance vectors) can be opened as ordinary PRs.

Proposing a new profile

A regulation profile (e.g. AI-Act, DORA) is a SourceManifest plus its citations, placed under profiles/<regulation>/v1.md. New profiles ship continuously and do not require an RFC. To propose one:

  1. Add profiles/<regulation>/v1.md following the structure of profiles/gdpr/v1.md.
  2. Bind requirements to evidence families documented in spec/evidence.md (or add a new family binding there).
  3. Include at least one conformance vector under conformance/vectors/ exercising the profile.
  4. Cite the authoritative legal source (e.g. EUR-Lex) via citationUrl for each obligation where a stable citation exists (citationUrl is a SHOULD, not a MUST — see spec/grammar.md §4).

Pull requests

Use the PR template. State whether the change is normative or editorial, and which spec file(s) it touches.
