MWMS System Change Log

Document Type: Ledger

Purpose

This page serves as the official index and control page for the MWMS System Change Log.

Its role is to record how the system-level change log works, define what belongs in it, and direct users to the correct monthly ledger pages.

If a change is not recorded in the appropriate MWMS change log, it is not considered officially recognised at system level.

Scope

This page applies to:

  • constitutional promotions
  • canon-level changes
  • architecture changes
  • governance changes
  • authority changes
  • routing changes
  • system-level standards changes
  • structural plugin or interface changes affecting MWMS operations

This page does not replace page-level change logs.

Logging Model

MWMS change logging operates across three levels:

  1. Page-Level Change Log
    Used inside an individual page to track that page’s own revisions.
  2. Brain-Level Change Log
    Used where needed to track major changes inside a specific Brain.
  3. MWMS System Change Log
    Used only for ecosystem-level changes that affect the broader MWMS structure, governance, routing, architecture, or operating environment.

Monthly Ledger Structure

To reduce page bloat, improve editor stability, and preserve maintainability, the MWMS System Change Log is split into monthly ledger pages.

Current monthly pages:

  • MWMS System Change Log April 2026

Future pages should follow the same naming format:

  • MWMS System Change Log May 2026
  • MWMS System Change Log June 2026
  • MWMS System Change Log July 2026

Log Entry Standard

Each system-level entry should use the following structure:

Date:
Change Type:
Page Affected:
Version Change:
Authority:
Summary:
Reason:
System Impact:

What Belongs Here

Include changes such as:

  • new core pages created
  • canon updates with ecosystem impact
  • routing rule updates
  • authority model updates
  • major standards updates
  • structural plugin/admin changes
  • architecture-layer additions
  • data/routing/governance rule changes

What Does Not Belong Here

Do not use this ledger for:

  • minor wording edits
  • duplicate page-level change logs
  • brainstorming notes
  • “next step” suggestions
  • incomplete draft notes
  • repeated copies of old entries
  • page-end markers copied from other documents

Those should stay either:

  • inside the page itself
  • in a Brain-specific log
  • or outside the ledger entirely

Current Monthly Ledger

April 2026:
MWMS System Change Log April 2026

Governance Rule

If a change affects the ecosystem broadly, it must be recorded in the appropriate monthly system ledger.

If a change affects only one page and has no wider system impact, it should remain in the page-level change log only.

Architectural Intent

This page exists to prevent system memory from collapsing into scattered notes, duplicated logs, and oversized unstable pages.

Its purpose is to keep MWMS change tracking:

  • auditable
  • structured
  • scalable
  • easier to maintain
  • safer to update over time
