The version record

How the promise has changed, and why.

The part

What it is

A promise that has been quietly weakened three times tells you something the current version cannot, and the record is where that lives.

It also protects against unauthorised revision — a change nobody approved but everybody gradually adopted.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
