status vocabulary§

CURRENT = current release documentation. SUPPORTED = released and supported in the stated surface. DOCUMENTED = specified or documented but not necessarily a distributed host package. COMPATIBILITY = retained historical or hosted surface. PROPOSED = roadmap design only. DEFERRED = intentionally outside the current release. NOT RELEASED = no current release artifact. FROZEN = historical evidence that keeps its original identity.

SOURCE POLICY: supplied release artifacts define package evidence; v12.0 tagged mirrors remain the base language authority; v12.1 defines the owned runtime foundation; v12.2.0 defines the modern-native semantic layer; v12.2.1 defines its packaging correction; v12.3.0 defines the current VM and collections foundation. Unsupported claims are not upgraded by prose.
