Codex Archive System V3 Notes

v3 notes are now superseded by Codex Archive System v3+ Notes. Use v3 as release-history context for ingest discipline updates.

v3 is a systems update focused on ingest learnings and note adjustments, not schema expansion.

The spine remains stable. The upgrade is operational.

Key moves:

• publish the v3 codex note as canonical system context
• advance status/respawn/orientation references to a single active v3 chain
• require WIP/revision intake outputs to suggest links to newest relevant updates
• reinforce reciprocal relation links from WIP artifacts into current release objects
• treat media normalization (for capture-native formats) as promotion-time work
• document a reusable media optimization command for post-ingest slimming

Ingest learnings now codified:

• a draft without update links decays quickly in graph usefulness
• WIP objects need explicit temporal anchors to stay legible after new releases
• canonical note adjustments should ship alongside object/relation adjustments
• promotion should include content + relation + media consistency checks in one pass

Media handling notes:

• image derivatives should be resized/compressed before publish, not just format-converted
• process video should ship as MP4 delivery assets, with originals retained in inbox source drops
• run node scripts/optimize-media-assets.mjs <file> [file...] during promotion when payload is heavy

No new object type is proposed in v3. No schema expansion is proposed in v3.
