Comparator v3.1 Freeze Record

Comparator Version: 3.1.0

Freeze Scope: ECR-000003

Effective Date: 2026-07-10

Frozen Components:

  • recognition classification rules 1.1
  • structural stability rules 1.1
  • primitive reporting rules
  • constraint reporting rules 1.1
  • representation reporting rules 1.1
  • ontology version currently recorded by v3.1
  • output consistency contract
  • tolerant parsing rules

Allowed Changes During Freeze:

  • critical defect correction
  • raw-data safety correction
  • output corruption correction
  • adapter-only correction that does not alter scoring

Disallowed Changes During Freeze:

  • threshold tuning
  • ontology expansion for better agreement
  • recognition-rule changes
  • new scoring fields
  • changed agreement categories
  • retrospective changes intended to improve experimental results

Emergency Change Rule:

Any allowed correction requires:

  1. documented blocking defect,
  2. new patch version,
  3. regression rerun,
  4. impact report,
  5. explicit approval.

Freeze Status: ACTIVE
