003 10 October 2026 — Data integrity, accessibility, and prose corrections

Data integrity audit

The SHA-256 hashes recorded in works.json for held works had been truncated to 48–50 characters. The attestation workflow had rejected the malformed values and recorded zero hashes on-chain. All held hashes have been recomputed from the pinned files and are now complete 64-character digests. Where the on-chain attestation records a zero hash, that state is preserved; the catalogue value is distinguished from what was attested and the discrepancy is recorded for future reconciliation.

The edition record (site-001) now separates four distinct fields: uri (the mutable IPNS address), snapshotUri (the pinned CAR file CID), rootCid (the unpacked directory CID), and contentHash (the CAR file's SHA-256).

revision-001 records the correct hash for the pinned file. An earlier value referred to an unpinned draft and has been superseded.

Cluster membership made explicit

Added a cluster field to every record in works.json. Previously the application inferred cluster membership from the URI namespace, which failed for works with external or non-namespace URIs. Cluster pages, contributor lists, and filters now use the explicit field.

Escaping, validation, and accessibility

All user-facing strings rendered by script.js are now escaped before insertion into the DOM. A safeUrl() helper validates link targets and rejects unsafe schemes. This was a prerequisite for opening the site to external attestations.

Mobile navigation on the main site now uses a button with aria-expanded and aria-controls, replacing the CSS checkbox pattern that was inaccessible to keyboard and screen-reader users. The same pattern is generated in the cluster starter pages, with an inline script.

Reduced-motion preferences are honoured by scroll behaviour and pagination. Focus is preserved across cluster-chip re-renders. Each page that lacked a top-level heading now has one.

Wizard corrections

Generated cluster pages are described as starter files rather than as live register clients. Generating files no longer promises automatic directory inclusion or automatic register display; both are manual processes. The contact field is rendered independently of the optional call. Added ENS validation, clipboard-failure handling, and a commitment statement shown before submission.

Prose corrections

Across the Ethos, Structure, Index, BLACKBOX, About, and cluster pages, claims that overstated the implemented system have been narrowed:

• "No permission is required" — revised to a contributor's declaration of non-enforcement over their own work.
• "Held by no one, cannot be enclosed" — revised to independently inspectable; no single platform controls what the record shows.
• "The chain is the source of truth" — revised to the chain is the reference for what was attested; the catalogue is maintained separately and not automatically reconciled.
• The closing "cannot be enclosed" claim on Structure — replaced with a description of visible dependencies and transferable stewardship.
• CC0 — described as a public-domain dedication and waiver instrument rather than as a licence.
• "No Rights" propagation — clarified: the declaration binds what a contributor attests, not what they cite.
• The register's non-discretionary recording — reconciled with EO1's substantive participation commitment.

Schema UID correction

The About page cited 0xd9b9e9… for the base schema. Corrected to 0x11cc31…, matching the schema under which the attestations were made.

Demonstration records labelled

Records that are fictional or illustrative (for example src-002, "Untitled notebook fragment") carry a recordClass: "demonstration" field, displayed in the register and cluster views.

Stewardship wording

The cluster operations block distinguishes three things that were previously conflated: the code (open, redeployable), the domain and hosting account (held by the named steward, transferable), and the attestations (on-chain, independently inspectable). The claim that pinning guarantees availability has been corrected to "remains retrievable while the steward continues to pin".

002 22 September 2026 — On-chain attestations

On-chain attestations

All works in the register were attested on Celo using the Ethereum Attestation Service. Each entry in works.json carries an attestationUID, and every expanded entry on the site renders a link to EASScan.

Schema UID: 0x11cc3123d51989b3298a0b65e01d4b54ab920e375056b9e08fbe524a50876b63
Chain: Celo mainnet
EAS contract: 0x72E1d8ccf5299fb36fEfD8CC4394B8ef7e98Af92

Attestations completed: 19 sources, 2 interim, 1 iteration, 1 edition, 1 revision. Total 24.

Hash status field

Added a hashStatus field to every entry in works.json. Values are held (a pinned copy with a computed hash), referenced (hosted elsewhere, canonical link only), and absent (no file — a fragment, a cluster definition, a text-only entry). The distinction is displayed on every expanded entry as a badge.

Source pinning

The commoning cluster asks the steward of the site to pin public domain sources as a courtesy, so that they remain retrievable while the steward continues to pin them. The decision is the cluster's; the holding is the steward's. The register records the canonical reference; the pin is supplementary.

Stewardship and legal position made explicit

Added a section to every cluster page distinguishing the register, the steward, and the cluster as three separate parties. The register records relations and hosts nothing. The steward holds the infrastructure and bears the legal obligations. The cluster decides what it wishes to attest and request.

The steward is named: Amy Kellam, resident in England and Wales. A route for legal notice is provided via the contact page.

GDPR note

The contact form carries a short notice stating what data is collected, how it is transmitted, and how to request deletion. No cookies, no analytics, no third-party sharing.

Commoning cluster intro revised

Removed the reference to a "planned" on-chain schema. The schema is registered and the attestations are live. The cluster's inquiry is stated in the intro, and the closing line now reads: "Recording the site in the register commits it to the commons on the same terms as the works it holds."

001 21 September 2026 — The Rule, clusters, and the wizard

The Rule is not a licence to harm

Added as a fifth position under principle 07 on the Structure page, as the final rule of the commoning cluster, and in section 1 of the cluster-start instructions. The Rule's renunciation of property rights is not a renunciation of responsibility. Contributions are declared lawful to make, hold, and circulate. The steward does not knowingly host unlawful material, and reports it where the law requires.

The umbrella field

Added an umbrella field to the cluster definitions. Each cluster page now names the collective the cluster belongs to. The commoning and amicus clusters both read as EO1 projects. A cluster belonging to a different collective would name that collective instead, or omit the field entirely.

Cluster restructuring

Removed eight fabricated works from the afterlives cluster. Renamed the cluster to amicus, stripped to its real content: the call, the timeline, and the status. Added commoning as the second cluster, carrying the site itself as its edition. Removed the umbra cluster entirely.

Cluster pages

Renamed eo1cluster-afterlives.html to eo1cluster-amicus.html. Created eo1cluster-commoning.html. Updated initCluster to render an honest empty state for clusters with no works yet.

The wizard

Added START-HERE.txt as the first output file. It states the commitment to the Rule, the no-harm limit, and the deployment instructions, in that order. The cluster name is substituted into the file at download time.

Added the cluster avatar. A placeholder mark is drawn by cluster.css and appears on every cluster page by default. A cluster can replace it with its own image. The commoning cluster uses a custom mark.

Register changes

Added src-016 (Locke), src-017 (the collective's statement), src-018 (the amicus cluster), src-019 (The Absolute), and src-020 (the pirate articles). Consolidated the Nāgārjuna source into a single entry (src-013, Stephen Batchelor translation, CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) and removed the duplicate. Contributor order set to last name alphabetical, with two exceptions: translated works list author before translator, and organisational contributors follow individual ones.

Added log-001, personal-log-001, note-001, and site-001 under the commoning cluster. Added revision-001 as the interim work recording this changelog.
