Specification

Spec changelog

What changed in the Prongs Intent Spec, newest first. Package releases have their own changelog; this one covers the format only.

Draft

First draft: intents, profiles, registries, resolution, usage, the agent spec, the registry export and versioning.
Added terms and principles.
Added meta, for data the spec does not define, under reverse-DNS prefixed keys (§1.5). Keys under a prongs prefix are reserved.
Defined what each status means and what tooling does with it (§1.4). A deprecated intent should name its replacement.
Gave every validation issue a stable code (§3), and added the meta-key, meta-reserved and deprecated-no-instead issues.
Said that resolution reads only refs and binding, and fails on a cycle even when validation is off (§4).
Defined the shape of a checker's findings (§5.1).
Asked for deterministic agent spec output (§6).
Said what a reader does with an export from a spec version it does not know (§7). prongs export writes an export.
Added intents at run time (§8), conformance fixtures (§9), security (§10), and what counts as a breaking change, for the spec and for a registry (§11).
schema.json gained meta, and its $id now resolves.
