C.30.AD:4.4 - Freshness and currentness boundary

Use a freshness claim only when the architecture description’s admissible use depends on source edition, structure edition, model version, deployment state, or an external condition. Keep this bounded claim distinct from any publication-currentness relation:

ArchitectureDescriptionFreshnessClaim content:
  sourceEditionRefs:
  structureEditionRefs?
  modelOrToolEditionRefs?
  knownRefreshTrigger:
    sourceChange | deploymentChange | interfaceChange |
    controlRateChange | modelEditionChange | evidenceDecay |
    toolApiChange | regulatoryChange |
    incidentFinding | declaredOther | unknown
  admissibleUseUntil?
  sourceReturnCondition?
C.2.1 constitution:
  entityOfConcernRef: exactly one ArchitectureDescriptionRef
  effectiveReferenceScheme: U.ReferenceScheme, byValue

ArchitectureDescriptionFreshnessClaim is a C.2.1 episteme about one architecture description. The block separates claim content from its C.2.1 identity. Add a source-return condition only when stronger use must go back to a named source or defining or constraining ClaimGraph. Freshness bounds current use; it does not make the description true, grounded, evidence-sufficient, or publication-current.
