Research and Decisions Overview

Overview

The Intent records hold the research and decisions behind LiteSpec's provisions, in the shapes a consumer uses. They inform the provisions and settle nothing themselves: the provision remains the only obligation, and these records are never selected or applied as contract.

Research and Decisions#

Research (research/): the thirteen research records behind this release.
- Intent Hierarchy Evidence: which Intent links LiteSpec requires and checks.
- Behavior Containment Evidence: how Behavior records find their parent.
- Cross-Layer Trace Evidence: where the trace from a goal to a test breaks.
- Field Naming Evidence: where one field name carries two concepts.
- Established Traceability Practice: what established practice requires of hierarchy.
- Book Outline Evidence: where the book outline invents a parent.
- Check Coverage Evidence: which links the checker enforces and which none reads.
- Research Conclusion Evidence: where a research conclusion lives today.
- Comparable Rationale Practice: how comparable projects keep rationale beside rules.
- Intent Hierarchy Practice: the outside comparison and the measured consumer counts behind D1 to D8.
- Naming Grammar Evidence: the 248-field inventory, the collisions and the word classes behind D9 to D18.
- Lower Layers Practice: the outside review and the measured consumer counts behind D25 to D46.
- Record Format Evidence: the format comparison and the measured consumer counts behind records in YAML.
Decisions (decisions/): the seventeen decision records this release settles, written beside these research records. Decisions 0001 to 0009 record the hierarchy, naming and book shape; decisions 0011, 0012 and 0014 to 0018 record the record language and the lower-layer designs; decision 0020 records records in YAML with explanation files.
