# ADR 0002: Separate names, website edges, and observations
|
|
|
|
Status: Accepted, 2026-09-13.
|
|
|
|
A name binding, entity-to-property edge, and crawler observation have separate
|
|
identities and decisions. A resolver must admit the matched name and the selected
|
|
website edge. Observations enter evidence bundles but never create ownership,
|
|
identity, or regional roles.
|
|
|
|
This prevents a new alias from inheriting an existing route and avoids invalidating
|
|
an unchanged route when unrelated entity metadata changes.
|
|
|
|
## Rejected alternatives
|
|
|
|
One decision over the whole entity made harmless label changes invalidate every
|
|
route and let an injected alias inherit old authority. Promoting observer signals
|
|
directly would turn redirects or self-authored metadata into ownership claims.
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
Legacy review rows remain auditable under the explicit compatibility policy.
|
|
Strict v0.4 resolution requires separate name and edge votes. V2 edge fingerprints
|
|
exclude unrelated entity revision metadata while retaining it in provenance.
