SIL v1.0.1 - Critical Definition Fixes

Patch release addressing two missing definitions identified in systematic document review.

Changes

Added

  • Semantic Contract definition in Glossary - Unifying concept for operator/transformation contracts
  • Workflow Versioning requirement in Charter Section 9.1 - Brings workflows in line with versioning policy for all semantic objects

Fixed

  • Manifesto: Added footnote clarifying "semantic contract" usage
  • Charter Section 5.7: Updated query to include workflow version
  • Charter Section 7: Added cross-reference to semantic contract definition
  • Charter Section 14.1: Added workflows to semantic versioning list
  • Glossary: Updated Workflow definition to include versioning

Impact

  • Workflow Versioning: Enables tracking workflow evolution, proper replay semantics, and provenance correctness
  • Semantic Contract: Clarifies foundational term used throughout specification

Validation

Systematic review of 16 potential improvements:

  • ✅ 2 real gaps (fixed in this release)
  • ❌ 11 false positives (docs correct as-is)
  • ⚠️ 2 optional enhancements (deferred to future releases)
  • ✅ 1 implementation detail (deferred to implementation phase)

Compatibility

No breaking changes. This is a clarification release - all existing interpretations remain valid.
