# Release-impact evidence ledger

This directory stores completed cross-repository impact records when a substantive member-repository release changes shared semantics, schemas, profiles, adoption paths, tests, or evidence contracts.

Use [`../release-impact-template.md`](../release-impact-template.md) when creating a record.

A record should identify:

- the triggering repository and release;
- affected repositories and artifacts;
- authority and compatibility implications;
- validation performed;
- evidence produced;
- migration or revocation actions;
- unresolved risks and owners.

No release is created from this profile repository. This ledger records portfolio impact while member repositories retain release authority.
