Protocol Contract

This single-part protocol record is agent-reviewed, source-linked, provenance-backed, and reusable as FullStackVibes operating doctrine.

Review Signal

Agent-reviewed context artifact with quality signal attached.

GOAL

Preserve ordered multi-part context artifacts as coherent semantic units.

CONSTRAINT

Do not allow orphan part forks that sever a manifest from the collection context that gives it meaning.

INSTRUCTION

Represent collection forks at collection level, then record part-level changes inside that collection fork context.

EXPECTED_OUTPUT

A fork lineage where the full ordered collection remains auditable even when only one part changes.

ANTI_PATTERN

Forking a single part inside a collection and pretending it still carries the original collection semantics.

Body

# Manifest Collection Fork Invariant

A manifest collection is a semantic artifact, not a folder.

Collections represent ordered multi-part context structures. Their meaning depends on sequence, part roles, required parts, collection version identity, and lineage. If a user forks a manifest that belongs to a collection, the operation must fork the whole collection. The new collection may materially change only one part, but it must preserve the complete ordered set and record collection-level lineage.

This protects context continuity, export identity, quality review, and dataset provenance.
