Conversation
Major changes based on detailed community feedback: README — repositioned: - Title: "A lightweight, machine-readable standard for AI-aware pull request and delivery metadata" (not "governance evidence for the AI era") - Core disclaimer: "ODS does not prove the code is correct. It proves the delivery process contains the minimum structured evidence needed for humans and machines to review the change responsibly." - Before/After comparison showing concrete value - Modules 04-09 marked Experimental (not Candidate) - Design principles updated: "AI-aware, not AI-obsessed" AI Change Review (spec/04) — rewritten: - Replaced AI% with qualitative ai_assistance_level: none | assisted | generated | agentic - Review levels driven by assistance level, not percentage - ai_scope: docs | tests | implementation | refactor | security-sensitive | release - risk_level: low | medium | high - Status: Experimental (demoted from Candidate) Branch Naming (spec/01): - AI prefix in branch names remains optional convention - Primary mechanism is JSON metadata CI Failure (spec/05): - Status: Experimental (demoted from Candidate) ROADMAP: - Experimental status category added - M2 renamed to "AI-Native Tooling" (tools built, modules experimental pending adoption signal) - M3 renamed to "L1 Stable + Early Evidence" - M4 renamed to "Governance Model" New files: - examples/ods-pr-template.md — copy-paste PR template - docs/case-study.md — before/after comparison with metrics Docs index, get-started updated to narrow focus
