MDPE.16:3.5 - State every branch’s current disposition
| Disposition | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| live for named use | Applicable evidence supports actual availability for the named use and conditions. A calendar window is included when it bounds that availability; no generic renewal period is required. |
| upkeep or reconstruction selected | Direct Work has been selected or begun, but current availability is not yet claimed. |
| repair before trial | One named, recoverable defect blocks a useful availability check or trial. |
| archive only | Source or lineage value remains, but current usability is not claimed. |
| suspend | A named capability, evidence, permission, safety, access, rights, or resource condition is missing. |
| remove from this development set | A supported reason defeats the present use; archive or source return remains when needed. |
These dispositions describe availability for the current use; they do not establish cultural retention. A branch not chosen today can remain live. A stored branch, maintenance record, or promised rehearsal need not be live.
