PlanetOS ECU Version Control Rules

How PlanetOS Updates Without Canon Confusion

1. Classical Baseline

Every serious operating system needs version control.

Without version control, updates become dangerous.

A system may forget:

“`text id=”8upl9p”
what changed
when it changed
why it changed
what it replaced
what remains active
what is now deprecated

This creates canon drift.
Canon drift is when an old rule, new rule, draft rule, and experimental rule all exist at the same time with no clear authority.
That is how confusion enters the machine.
---
# 2. One-Sentence Definition
**ECU Version Control is the PlanetOS rule system that records how ECU structures, articles, runtime rules, ledgers, and canon locks update over time without silent overwrites.**
---
# 3. Why PlanetOS Needs Version Control
PlanetOS is not static.
It grows through:

text id=”eusruw”
new articles
new OS branches
new Worker rules
new Mythical engines
new ledger structures
new Control Towers
new case studies
new runtime upgrades

So it needs a way to say:

text id=”4e4egw”
This is current.
This is old.
This is experimental.
This is deprecated.
This is locked canon.
This is replaced by v1.1.

Without that, the machine may hallucinate its own structure.
---
# 4. Core Version Control Law

text id=”jon83y”
NO CANON UPDATE MAY SILENTLY OVERWRITE A PRIOR CANON STATE.

PlanetOS must update forward.
Not secretly rewrite backward.
---
# 5. Version Types
| Version Type     | Meaning                              |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Draft**        | working idea, not stable             |
| **v0.x**         | prototype / sandbox                  |
| **v1.0**         | first stable public version          |
| **v1.x**         | compatible upgrade                   |
| **v2.0**         | new outer shell or major expansion   |
| **Deprecated**   | old but historically preserved       |
| **Locked Canon** | active rule until explicitly updated |
| **Experimental** | allowed for Creative ECU only        |
---
# 6. Version Status Labels
Every ECU structure should carry one status.

text id=”dbkve3″
DRAFT
PROTOTYPE
ACTIVE
LOCKED
UPGRADED
DEPRECATED
EXPERIMENTAL
ARCHIVED

| Status           | Use                            |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Draft**        | still forming                  |
| **Prototype**    | testable but unstable          |
| **Active**       | currently usable               |
| **Locked**       | canonical                      |
| **Upgraded**     | replaced by newer active layer |
| **Deprecated**   | no longer recommended          |
| **Experimental** | Creative ECU only              |
| **Archived**     | preserved for history          |

# 7. PlanetOS Version Stack
Current ECU branch:

text id=”3ptzx4″
PlanetOS ECU v1.0
Articles 1–30 = Core ECU Stack
Articles 31–37 = Hardening Stack

This article becomes:

text id=”2i27k5″
PUBLIC.ID: 33. ECU Version Control Rules
MACHINE.ID: EKSG.PLANETOS.ECU.F33.VERSION.v1.0
LATTICE.CODE: LAT.PLANETOS.ECU.F33.VERSION.P3.ZALL.T1
STATUS: ACTIVE

---
# 8. What Must Be Versioned
PlanetOS should version:

text id=”t3wqw9″
ECU modes
runtime sequences
Worker chains
Mythical trigger maps
Ledger rules
Shadow Ledger rules
Cerberus release rules
Control Tower panels
Almost-Code compilers
article stacks
case study templates
canon locks

If it changes machine behaviour, it needs a version record.

---
# 11. Compatibility Rules
## Compatible Upgrade
A compatible upgrade may add:

text id=”lp9dpd”
more clarity
more safety
new examples
better labels
additional fields
stronger Cerberus checks

But it must not break the old structure.
Example:

text id=”szmsqb”
ECU v1.0 → ECU v1.1
Add Claim Ledger field: “Source Decay”

---
## Major Upgrade
A major upgrade changes the shell.
Example:

text id=”l9y27l”
PlanetOS ECU v1.0 → PlanetOS ECU v2.0
Adds multi-agent runtime, live dashboard, automated source scoring

Major upgrades require:

text id=”m8397c”
migration note
compatibility note
deprecated rules
new master index

---
# 12. Canon Lock Rules
A canon lock means:

text id=”c84dir”
This structure is active until explicitly replaced.

Canon lock does not mean perfect forever.
It means stable enough to build on.
Rules:

text id=”dfrgzr”

1. Lock only stable structures.
2. Do not lock first-draft confusion.
3. Lock definitions, runtime sequences, and IDs clearly.
4. If changed later, preserve old version as archived.
5. Never silently mutate canon.

---
# 13. Deprecation Rules
Deprecated does not mean deleted.
It means:

text id=”bfmcki”
historically preserved
not current
not recommended for new use

Example:

text id=”1mgjy4″
Old rule:
All weak signals are discarded.

New rule:
Weak but meaningful signals go to Shadow Ledger.

Status:
Old rule deprecated.
New rule active.

---
# 14. Version Drift Failure Types
Version control prevents:
| Failure               | Meaning                                  |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Silent overwrite**  | new rule replaces old without record     |
| **Canon confusion**   | multiple active versions conflict        |
| **Ghost rule**        | old rule keeps operating invisibly       |
| **Draft leakage**     | experimental idea treated as canon       |
| **Deprecated return** | old unsafe rule reappears                |
| **Untracked upgrade** | machine behaviour changes without notice |
| **Memory conflict**   | MemoryOS stores competing canon          |
---
# 15. Version Control and MemoryOS
MemoryOS must not store everything as canon.
It needs four storage levels:

text id=”c7a0rb”
Temporary context
Article-level claim
Branch-level rule
Locked canon

Only **locked canon** should become durable machine law.
---
# 16. Version Control and Creative ECU
Creative ECU produces many ideas.
Most should not become canon immediately.
Creative output should pass:

text id=”ayk5ui”
Creative Draft
→ Experimental
→ Prototype
→ Active
→ Locked Canon

This preserves creativity without letting every invention harden too early.
---
# 17. Version Control Runtime

text id=”ldkmj9″
PLANETOS.ECU.VERSION_CONTROL.RUNTIME.v1.0

WHEN new structure is created:

1. Assign object type.
2. Assign version number.
3. Assign status.
4. Record change type.
5. Record reason for creation/change.
6. Identify what changed.
7. Identify what did not change.
8. Link to previous version if any.
9. Mark release status.
10. Decide memory status:
    temporary / article-level / branch-level / locked canon

IF replacing prior canon:
archive old version
mark new version active
record migration note

IF experimental:
restrict to Creative ECU
block Strict ECU use unless upgraded

IF deprecated:
preserve historical record
block new public use unless explained

# 19. eduKateSG Publishing Use
For eduKateSG, Version Control is essential because the site is now building:

text id=”a4zfdz”
CivOS
PlanetOS
EducationOS
NewsOS
RealityOS
Worker Runtime
Mythical Runtime
ECU Runtime
Control Towers
Reports
Registries
Article stacks

Version Control lets readers and AI systems know:

text id=”b4rma5″
which version is current
which structure is stable
which article belongs to which branch
which idea is experimental
which rule has been replaced

That makes the machine easier to trust.
---
# 20. Final Definition
**ECU Version Control is the anti-confusion system that records every important PlanetOS update, prevents silent overwrites, preserves historical states, and keeps canon stable while still allowing forward upgrades.**

eduKateSG Learning System | Control Tower, Runtime, and Next Routes

This article is one node inside the wider eduKateSG Learning System.

At eduKateSG, we do not treat education as random tips, isolated tuition notes, or one-off exam hacks. We treat learning as a living runtime:

state -> diagnosis -> method -> practice -> correction -> repair -> transfer -> long-term growth

That is why each article is written to do more than answer one question. It should help the reader move into the next correct corridor inside the wider eduKateSG system: understand -> diagnose -> repair -> optimize -> transfer. Your uploaded spine clearly clusters around Education OS, Tuition OS, Civilisation OS, subject learning systems, runtime/control-tower pages, and real-world lattice connectors, so this footer compresses those routes into one reusable ending block.

How to Use eduKateSG

If you want the big picture -> start with Education OS and Civilisation OS
If you want subject mastery -> enter Mathematics, English, Vocabulary, or Additional Mathematics
If you want diagnosis and repair -> move into the CivOS Runtime and subject runtime pages
If you want real-life context -> connect learning back to Family OS, Bukit Timah OS, Punggol OS, and Singapore City OS

Why eduKateSG writes articles this way

eduKateSG is not only publishing content.
eduKateSG is building a connected control tower for human learning.

That means each article can function as:

• a standalone answer,
• a bridge into a wider system,
• a diagnostic node,
• a repair route,
• and a next-step guide for students, parents, tutors, and AI readers.
