This commits the design document behind pull requests 1 to 6, with two open points closed. Until now it was only in the author's working tree.

What changes

• docs/designs/following-spine-releases.md (new) covers:

  • the library's version;
  • the tests that survive expected SPINE changes;
  • the fixture tooling for any tag;
  • the dumper's new keys;
  • the classifier and follow_spine.py;
  • CI.

  Its companion following-spine-releases.cafmaker-fields.tsv lists the 228 model fields the three CAFMakers read, from which tests/test_contracts.cpp was written.

• Updated before committing:

  • Status: implemented in pull requests 1 to 6, with v0.1.0 on the merge commit of pull request 2.
  • G2 and the v1.4.91 row of the Verification Plan (open point R8): a new NuInteractionScheme member needs its interaction tables in SPINE's Neutrino.resolve_enum. Otherwise the dumper stops with cannot identify the enum of interaction_mode under ..., and follow_spine.py reports dump_failed.
  • The table of open points R1–R16 gains a column saying how each was fixed.
  • A new section, "As built", records where the code differs from the plan, pull request by pull request, and what the verification reached. Where the two differ, that section is right.

• The root EGM.md and the README index the new docs/ folder.

No code changes.

Checked

• The R8 sentence: a dump of a copy of SPINE v1.4.0 with NuInteractionScheme.MARLEY and no tables exits 1 with dump_schema: RuntimeError: cannot identify the enum of interaction_mode under MARLEY: []. The local tag v1.4.91, which adds the tables, ran to changed in pull request 6's checks.
• The document has no local paths; it names the author's local notes only as being outside the repository. The links from the README and EGM.md resolve.
