5. Change Impact Rules
| Changed layer |
Required impact analysis |
| SysRS |
Review SysDes coverage; update SRS only through updated SysDes. |
| SysDes |
Review affected SRS requirements; SRS shall not bypass SysDes. |
| SRS |
Review affected SAD items; SAD shall link only to SRS. |
| SAD |
Review affected SDD items; SDD shall link only to SAD. |
| SDD |
Review implementation, unit construction, and verification evidence. |

8. Verification Work Product Traceability
Verification work products are downstream evidence-producing artifacts. They do not change the strict engineering hierarchy.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.1 Update
| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.1 |
2026-05-14 |
Updated baseline after product decision closure: Apple App Store SDK gate uses Xcode 26+ and iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 SDK+ since 2026-04-28, platform baselines and decision traceability propagated across the document set. |
12. Platform Release Policy Traceability
| Policy document |
Covered decisions |
docs/release/platform-release-policy.md |
iOS runtime target, Apple App Store Connect upload SDK gate, Android runtime target, Google Play target API gate |
The Apple App Store Connect upload gate remains linked through:
The corrected effective date is:
This build-SDK gate is separate from the iOS runtime deployment target.
Baseline Candidate 0.9.2 Update
| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.2 |
2026-05-14 |
Corrected Apple App Store Connect upload gate to 2026-04-28 and checked full-package naming, references, and coverage. |
