Reference status

Generated by luria index from the record’s frontmatter — built, not edited.

Every reference in the record is a claim — “this is why things are the way they are” — and this page is the account of the claims that need a human eye: citations of documents that are not in force, codes that resolve to nothing, and the acknowledgements and exemptions that keep either kind quiet on purpose. Nothing on this page fails a build (ADR-035): every row is a judgement call, and the acknowledgement comments are how a judgement, once made, stops being asked again.

Documents cited while not in force

Only an Active document is in force. Proposed and Deferred mean not in force yet — an open question, being cited as if it were settled — while Superseded and Rejected mean no longer in force, which is often a perfectly good thing to cite: history, or a rejection worth pointing at. Either way the citation should be deliberate, and this section lists the ones nobody has vouched for yet.

0 documents cited without acknowledgement. Not listed: 52 citations someone has already vouched for with an inactive-ok: comment at the citing site.

To vouch for one, put the reason where the citation is — inactive-ok: covers its own line and the line below it, inactive-ok-block: its paragraph, inactive-ok-file: the whole page:

<!-- inactive-ok: ADR-012 — why this citation is right -->

Nothing unacknowledged. ✅

Codes that resolve to no document

A reference the reader cannot follow: the code names no document in this record. A typo, a number carried in from another project, and an illustrative code in an example all look identical from here — telling them apart takes a human, so this is a report, not an error.

0 codes unaccounted for. Not listed: 58 mentions marked deliberate with an unresolved-ok: comment (same syntax and scopes as inactive-ok: above).

Every code resolves. ✅

Files that opt out of reference checking

unlinted-file: exempts a whole document from the reference machinery — the blunt tool for a fixture-heavy or vendored page. It is counted here rather than hidden, the same bargain as an acknowledgement: the report stays a complete account of what nobody is checking.

Directives that no longer apply

None. Every annotation still governs something. ✅
