Every public artefact needs identity, status and authority.
Version: readers can tell which material they are examining.
Status: proposed, working, accepted, superseded and independently produced material remain distinct.
Authority: FASO-authored and independently authored findings are never collapsed.
Boundary: public explanation remains useful without disclosing protected or unsafe detail.
