User concern: preventing commercial reuse of the corpus (e.g., a
vendor training a paid product on the questions, selling access to
them). CC-BY-NC-4.0 permits research citation + non-commercial
derivatives while requiring written permission for commercial use.
interviews/vault/questions/LICENSE (NEW)
CC-BY-NC-4.0 full text with BibTeX template tied to release_hash.
Commercial licensing contact noted.
interviews/vault/ARCHITECTURE.md §15 #1
Marked DECIDED. Rationale recorded. vault-cli license
intentionally left at historical status (not relicensed as part
of this change).
interviews/vault/REVIEWS.md
License state: DECIDED. Removed from Phase-3 blocker list.
interviews/CONTRIBUTING.md
New 'License' section: NC constraint explicit. External corpus
PRs assumed offered under same CC-BY-NC-4.0. Contact for commercial
licensing specified.
ARCHITECTURE.md header bumped to v2.2. Full changelog block added
(v2.1 → v2.2) keyed to Round-3 finding IDs. §7.1 + §10.2 edited to
align X-Vault-Release soft-signal semantics with §6.1.1 (Soumith F-1).
REVIEWS.md §Round-3 added: per-reviewer verdicts (Chip YELLOW, Dean
YELLOW→GREEN, Soumith GREEN-conditional, David YELLOW→GREEN),
convergence map of 11 integrated items, explicitly-deferred list
(Cache API, breaker half-open, rate-limit KV, cross-lang hash path,
worker vitest, LSH dedup — all documented as Phase-3-entry gates).
CONTRIBUTING.md quickstart corrected (David R3-H5): step 3 dropped
the Phase-1+ 'doctor'/'stats' references; step 4 shows 'vault build'
before 'vault api' so the shim has something to serve.
paper/scripts/generate_macros.py rewritten as thin wrapper over
'vault export-paper' (B.1 — closes §20.5 #2 + #7). Uses
sys.executable -m vault_cli.main so PATH isn't required.
paper/macros.tex (regenerated): 66-line emission with both
\staffml* and legacy \num* namespaces. paper.tex needs no edits
during transition. Paper and site now agree by construction —
the structural fix for H-21 (9,199 vs 8,053) bug class.
paper/corpus_stats.json (regenerated): full superset of the v1
analyze_corpus.py output, driven by SQL over vault.db with
'by_zone', 'by_level', 'by_track', chain 'by_length' distribution,
'bloom_distribution' (zone→bloom derived mapping), applicability.
EVOLUTION.md (fixes H-1 from REVIEWS.md)
Schema-version rules: SemVer semantics (additive-minor implicit,
breaking-major bumps schema_version). Loader contract across
versions. vault migrate-schema mechanics: parallel tree, forward/
rollback functions, --dry-run, failure log. Mixed-version PRs
forbidden — CI rejects. Canonicalization-version (CANON_VERSION)
bumps separate from schema_version. Historical record stub.
EXIT_CODES.md
Stable exit-code taxonomy table with rationale for each category
(0 vs 1, 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, 5 as user-abort). Usage in code, tests,
JSON output. Evolution policy: add new codes, never renumber.
JSON_OUTPUT.md
Common envelope: {ok, exit_code, exit_symbol, command,
cli_version, data, errors, warnings}. Per-command schemas for
check, stats, verify, doctor, diff. LSP-diagnostic shape for
check errors. --json-schema meta-command prints per-command
JSON Schema.
CONTRIBUTING.md (fixes H-17)
Quick-start path from clone → local site serving a question in
≤10min target. What can be contributed, workflow, PR review.
Provenance-honesty rules. Author attribution via
vault/contributors.yaml. Phase-by-phase scope of what works today
vs what lands later.
All four are referenced directly from ARCHITECTURE.md sections.
