standard (entity)

Generated from solutions/ontological/lib/model/entities/standard/schema.ts.

Schema version: 1.

Description

A Standard prescribes a rule that applies to a scoped set of paths and explains its application. Standards are the enforceable layer of project governance: where a Principle states a value and a Decision records a choice, a Standard says what to do (or not do) here — and, where possible, a deterministic validator checks it.

A Standard is not:

A Principle. A Principle is a broad value; a Standard is a scoped, often checkable rule. Standards typically operationalize Principles.
A Decision. A Decision records why this and not that; a Standard is one possible output of a Decision.
A Convention. A Convention is informal; a Standard is normative and reviewable.

Properties

Field	Type	Required	Description
`type`	string	yes	Dispatch tag for the validator framework.
`schema_version`	string		Numeric string version of the per-type schema this instance conforms to. Compare numerically when ordering versions. Independent of any product version. The value `0` is a documented sentinel meaning ‘pre-SDLC-managed’ — audit treats it as intentional, not stale. Optional in frontmatter: never in any per-type `required` set (audit flags a MISSING stamp as drift, not the validator).
`id`	string	yes	Immutable identifier in canonical S-NNNN shape per `D-0002-entity-identifier-shape`: ‘S-’ + 4 zero-padded chars [0-9A-Z] (Standards use incrementing numbering). Never renamed once assigned.
`status`	string		Lifecycle stage. open/* states are active; closed/* are terminal. Standards move from open/draft → open/proposed → open/active; closed/superseded means a newer Standard replaces this one; closed/deprecated means the rule no longer applies.
`title`	string	yes	Human-readable headline. Frontmatter is canonical; the body opens with `# <title>` for readability.
`created`	string	yes	ISO date the entity was first authored.
`last_reviewed`	string		ISO date the entity was last reviewed. Optional: never in any per-type `required` set.
`related`	array		Cross-references. Entries are wikilinks — typically to other entities by id (slug optional per `D-0002-entity-identifier-shape`), but may also reference non-entity planning docs by their wikilink slug.
`tags`	array		Free-form labels. Required at the common level, defaulting to `[]`. Per-type schemas may add a `contains` constraint (e.g. Principle requires exactly one `principle/<category>` tag).
`need_human_review`	boolean		Review-tracking flag.
`applies_to`	object	yes	Scope of the rule. Required. `paths` is a list of glob patterns naming where the rule binds.
`supersedes`	string		Wikilink to the Standard this one replaces, if any. Slug is optional per `D-0002-entity-identifier-shape`.
`superseded_by`	string		Wikilink to the Standard that replaces this one, if any. Required when status is closed/superseded. Slug is optional per `D-0002-entity-identifier-shape`.
`deprecation_note`	string		Short note on why the standard was deprecated. Required when status is deprecated.
