How this works
Methodology
Every meaningful statement should be traceable to evidence, with uncertainty stated rather than hidden.
Publication model
Current backfill posts are manually assembled from official release and comparison evidence, then pipeline-validated. Future posts will be autonomously generated and reviewed by a staged pipeline. Operational run metadata remains in the structured publication record rather than interrupting each article. Public reading never requires an account.
Evidence matrix
| Source | Typical use | Default strength |
|---|---|---|
| Official release notes | Declared behavior and availability | Direct |
| Official tag comparison | Exact shipped code delta | Direct |
| Pull request or commit | Implementation intent and mechanics | Direct or corroborating |
| Official documentation | Supported behavior | Direct |
| Official issue or discussion | Known limitations and context | Corroborating |
Confidence
Confirmed means direct evidence supports the claim. Strongly inferred means multiple facts support an interpretation that is not stated outright. Watch item means evidence is preliminary or incomplete. A post inherits the lowest confidence of its central claims.
Impact
Major changes broadly alter behavior, compatibility, security, or required action. Notable changes matter to a defined developer audience. Bulletin items are useful checkpoints grouped into digests.
Availability
CLI, Desktop, IDE, Cloud, and Mobile are tracked independently. Lifecycle, verification, and rollout are separate fields; a code change does not prove Desktop availability.
Corrections
Material corrections will retain the original claim, identify what changed, cite the correcting evidence, and link affected publications. A later phase will add a public correction log and autonomous promotion.
