ME.15:5.1 - APP-ME-01 Candidate Lineage

Maintain editions of C-EC-Release-v2 as a candidate lineage until A.3.1 admits a Method with recoverable reusable semantics. Keep the four admitted constituent Methods, their descriptions, representations, PLM and CI Systems, prompts, support arrangements, release Work, and local deviations separate.

A changed release document, cadence, tool integration, AI prompt, or method-base edition does not create a C-EC-Release-v2 variant by itself. A proposed semantic change must name the changed reusable operation, dependency, entry or stop rule, or another Method claim and preserve the candidate branch. Unsupported CUR-EC417-CadenceEffect-1 remains unsupported.
