Establishes a typed epistemic surface for stored claims without importing any source-trust bias. The status enum (COHERENT, CONTESTED, SPECULATIVE, FALSIFIED) describes a claim's position in the revision graph, not the credentials of its source. No tier in the schema carries inherent trust weight. Three commitments: 1. epistemic_status is a position in the revision graph, not a trust tier. Source labels (peer_consensus / outsider / established / unauthoritative) are explicitly excluded. 2. Non-hardening invariant: no reviewed claim, relation, or edge ever becomes unrevisable. No final/frozen/axiom flag may be added. Stage-3 inversion (versor-conjugate correction) is always available. 3. Coherence is the only admission signal. v1 is curator- mediated but bias-free at the schema level; v2 must add a structural coherence metric so the tag has geometric teeth and not just curator authority. Schema impact: PackMutationProposal.epistemic_status, review outcome carries status alongside ACCEPTED/REJECTED_IDENTITY, lexicon entries get an optional epistemic_status field, trace_hash folds in epistemic_status for replay verification. Named v2 gap: structural coherence metric recipe (cga_inner agreement with the existing reviewed field) is committed as the path forward. Implementation lands as a Phase 5 parallel-track item alongside Rust parity per ADR-0020. |

Architecture Decision Records
This directory contains the Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for the CORE project.
ADRs record significant architectural decisions: what was decided, why, what alternatives were considered, and what consequences follow. They are permanent records — superseded ADRs are archived, not deleted.

Session Logs
Session logs record the decisions and rationale from individual working sessions. They are not ADRs — they are the narrative record that informed the ADRs.
