Two version numbers exist in this project and are easy to confuse:
kb_schema_version (the content contract, in wiki/index.md) and VERSION
(the tooling layer). Until now neither had a written history, and the
page schema was documented in four places at three levels of detail.
CHANGELOG.md / CHANGELOG.pl.md consolidate both: the current schema in
full (frontmatter for all pages and for decisions, the three reserved
body sections, the closed edge vocabulary with a "since" column, the
reserved scaffold), then the schema history 1.1-1.5 and the template
history 1.0.0-1.8.0.
The history is reconstructed from git rather than from memory, so it
records what actually happened rather than a tidied version of it:
- There was never a schema 1.0; versioning began at 1.1 on 2026-07-13.
- Template 1.4.0 and 1.5.0 were never published — VERSION jumped from
1.3.0 to 1.6.0 on 2026-09-01.
- Connector-backed libs shipped as tooling in 1.1.0, but the schema only
recorded them at 1.2 nine days later. The schema column shows what was
in effect after each release, with a footnote on the lag.
Registered with ckb-init (copied verbatim into a new KB) and ckb-upgrade
(taken wholesale from upstream rather than merged, since upstream is
authoritative about its own history). Cross-linked from both READMEs and
both MANUALs.
