What this page is

Rendered compatibility entry point for Spec-16-Namespace-Registry. Reserved relation prefixes (memory, system, stigmem, garden) and community registry process.

Authoritative source: spec/stigmem-spec-v0.9.0a1.md

Section body

Each subsection below shows the most recent normative text from the spec source. When earlier spec drafts also contained text for the same subsection, those revisions are collapsed under a Revisions accordion beneath it.

§9.1 Reserved prefixes (the pre-reset spec additions)

Existing entries from the pre-reset spec unchanged.

Prefix
Governed by
Purpose
garden:
Spec maintainers
Garden metadata facts: garden:member, garden:role, garden:scope.
stigmem:attest:
Spec maintainers
Reserved for future per-entity attestation-policy facts (e.g. required-source assertions on a scope or garden). Source attestation is a pure API operation; this prefix prevents squatting ahead of fact-based attestation policy extensions.
