v1 Supersession Table

This table defines which documents are canonical when multiple official v1 documents discuss the same topic.

Rule

When a canonical core spec or companion reference conflicts with an appendix or older focused doc, the canonical document wins.

Canonical precedence order:

  1. AEON-v1-compliance.md
  2. AEON-spec-v1.md
  3. AEOS-spec-v1.md
  4. Canonical companion references:
  1. contracts/ baseline contract documents
  2. appendices/ (informative unless explicitly referenced by a canonical document)

Superseded Top-Level Docs

Previous document Canonical replacement Notes
annotation-binding.md comments-annotations-v1.md Removed from canonical v1 surface

Use Guidance

  • Implementers targeting AEON Core v1 should start with the canonical core spec set, not the appendices.
  • Appendices are supporting material, profile notes, or partially consolidated release carryovers.
  • If an appendix still says "normative" but is listed here as informative or decision-needed, this table controls its authority for the consolidated v1 set.
