D14 — Record handling and correction note

A stable commitment ID must survive every change of view. Keep its customer, islands, old promise, new proposed promise, permission source and current status visible. An unchanged job does not need a ceremonial new form. A changed job does need a person using the ordinary dispatch record to be able to find the old record and the reason for the change.

A useful handover may distinguish the vessel's return, what was delivered, what remains uncertain and what a customer has accepted. Those are possible distinctions, not mandatory new service products. Do not record a customer acceptance that no customer gave.

Personal travel reasons, private crew lists and laboratory research contents cannot be put in a shared experiment. Retain source ownership, use redacted extracts only under permission, and give corrections a dated link rather than deleting a disputed observation. “Unknown” is permitted. Two people may continue to disagree.

The experiment must show five ordinary surfaces: service/intake, responsibilities, current work, knowledge and agreements. A surface may say unchanged with a reason. Its mere presence is not evidence of success. The people doing the next job need to understand the live arrangement without a parallel universe of experiment-only identifiers.
