This log records formal repository-level decisions that affect the canonical Agent Cards release line, release validation, or preserved compatibility artifacts.
- Formal logging began on 2026-03-19.
- Decisions made before that date may be reflected in the repository state without a corresponding entry here.
- Entries are procedural release records, not a backfilled history of every prior discussion.
- "Affected artifacts" identifies the files or surfaces materially changed by the recorded decision.
- Decision: Make
npm run validatethe current-line authority path, keep legacy validation explicit and secondary, remove committed placeholder canonical hosted schema URLs from legacy commercial cards, and document legacy/provenance boundaries directly. - Rationale: The repository's operational center is
v1.1.0. Validation and documentation should make that obvious while still preservingv1.0.0as a compatibility line. Legacy artifacts should not retain visibly fabricated placeholder values. - Affected artifacts:
package.json,scripts/validate-cards.mjs,.github/workflows/validate.yml,agents/v1.0.0/commercial/*.json,README.md,COMPLIANCE.md,GOVERNANCE.md,SECURITY_PROVENANCE.md.
- Decision: Normalize all commons cards to the canonical runtime execute entry, preserve x402 routing only for commercial cards, and enforce the split in schemas, validation, manifests, dist-pin artifacts, and repository documentation.
- Rationale: The repository should publish one coherent invocation model: commons are runtime-first and non-x402 at entry, while commercial cards remain payment-aware and x402-routed. Leaving mixed semantics in cards, docs, or validators would make the release contract misleading.
- Affected artifacts:
