Canon Change History
Rule — continuity
Section titled “Rule — continuity”Any new canon material (a game, a video, a news story) must not contradict a Canonical fact in this book without an explicit, recorded owner decision that supersedes it and is logged below. A Proposed element may be refined or replaced more easily, but the change should still be recorded here, not silently diverged from in downstream production material.
Known continuity constraints
Section titled “Known continuity constraints”- Sol Mamy’s role as Keeper predates her relationship with SOLMEME — any new material must not imply the Vault or her role began with him.
- The Treasure Chest concept is Superseded (see Superseded Material) — any new material must not reintroduce it as current.
- Character scope is closed (Sol Mamy and SOLMEME only) — introducing a new named character is a scope change requiring an owner decision, not something this book or downstream content can do unilaterally.
Change log
Section titled “Change log”| Date | Change | Status before | Status after |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-29 | Story & Universe Book established as this project’s third canonical root, separate from Mascot Book | — (did not exist as its own book) | Book created |
| 2026-08-29 | Treasure Chest formally replaced by Lunar Vault Module as sole signature prop | Canonical | Superseded |
| 2026-08-31 | Rear helmet interface: “damaged connector, severed wire-ends, non-functional” replaced by owner-confirmed “Energy Braid” — a working device (reduced power, not broken), functional purpose (information recovery). Face membrane (energy film, not solid mask) added as new Canon. Atmosphere/helmet-necessity confirmed Canon. | Proposed (damaged interface) / Open (atmosphere) | Canonical (functional Energy Braid + face membrane + atmosphere necessity) |
| 2026-08-31 | Progression.md’s “costume evolution” track (“…→ star badge → gold trim”) corrected to “…→ rank glyph → brass hardware trim” — the old wording contradicted the already-CANON “no star anywhere” and “no gold anywhere” rules. Found during a cross-book sync pass, not caught when those two rules were originally closed. | Canonical (contradictory wording) | Canonical (corrected, non-contradictory wording) |
| 2026-09-03 | The Lunaris Insignia System’s §6 “Gold/brass hardware” color-material axis (officer-tier brass/gold fittings from Starmajor rank upward) retracted — contradicted the already-closed “no gold anywhere” ruling (closed the same day, 2026-08-31, this section was first written), but never propagated to this file. §6’s row now documents the retraction; the “fully-accreted end state” line (formerly line 110) and §7 step 5 (formerly “full pink/hardware accretion”) corrected to drop the gold/brass claim — rank tier is signaled by the branch+rank glyph (§1-§2) and tenure ring (§4), not hardware material. No replacement hardware-color signal invented. | Canonical (contradictory wording, citing a retracted axis) | Canonical (corrected — gold/brass axis marked retracted, no downstream contradiction) |
| 2026-09-03 | objects-and-artifacts.md’s “Why the colors are where they are” section still asserted “brass/gold hardware… signals officer-tier rank,” directly contradicting the already-closed “no gold anywhere” ruling — the same defect the 2026-08-31 progression.md fix (row above, this table) had already fixed once but was never propagated here. Found during Story & Universe Book production-pass source audit, alongside the deeper lunaris-insignia-system.md §6 defect logged above. |
Canonical (contradictory wording, citing a retracted rank-signal mechanism) | Canonical (corrected — hardware-based rank-signal claim retracted, rank instead attributed to branch+rank glyph and tenure ring) |
| 2026-09-03 | The Costume-evolution track’s final stage still ended “…→ rank glyph → brass hardware trim,” self-contradicting its own “no star, no gold” clause in the same sentence. The 2026-08-31 fix (row above) had only renamed “gold trim”→“brass hardware trim,” not removed the hardware-material claim itself. | Canonical (self-contradictory: asserts hardware-based rank signal in the same sentence that denies gold) | Canonical (corrected — final costume-evolution stage marked “not yet determined,” no replacement visual invented) |
| 2026-09-03 | Open Canon Questions’ “Superpower/Guardian ability” entry pointed to “(see Objects & Artifacts)” for a drafted-and-evaluated concept that did not actually appear anywhere in Objects & Artifacts — a dangling cross-reference. The real content existed only in the primary lore source. | — (citation error, not a status change) | Fixed — Objects & Artifacts given the closed decision’s actual content (sourced from the lore file, no invention), making the existing citation true |
| 2026-09-03 | This book’s story-world/real-world separation rule (Canon Principles) covered only SOLMAMY’s pre-launch status; it never stated that SOLMEME/solme.me and the monthly memecoin release are real and currently operating (unlike SOLMAMY) — Characters and Relationships narrate SOLMEME “filling the Vault monthly” with no disclosure distinguishing the real event from the fictional Vault framing. |
— (rule gap, not a status change) | Fixed — Canon Principles’ separation rule extended to state SOLMEME/solme.me’s real, current-operating status explicitly; Characters and Relationships given a matching real-world note at the point SOLMEME is first introduced |
| 2026-09-03 | A live cross-book contradiction: Universe Overview and Quick Reference (both Canonical) listed the SOLMAMY ecosystem/community layer as 4 items — “Vault Defender, Community, Games, Documentation” — while Brand Book Foundation, Mascot Book, and Brand Book’s own index all consistently state 3 items (“Vault Defender, Community, Documentation”); Vault Defender is itself the game, not a separate 4th item. | Canonical (4-item list, contradicting the cited source and 3 other books) | Fixed — both files corrected to the real 3-item list, matching Foundation/Mascot/Brand |
Every future addition or status change to a Canonical fact in this book gets a new row here — this table is the book’s own audit trail, distinct from this project’s separate internal governance records, and is meant to persist as part of the book itself for as long as the universe keeps expanding.
Part of the SOLMEME Brand Documentation System. Content status (Canonical/Proposed/Open/etc.) is this book’s own axis; ownership/rights are separate — see OWNERSHIP_AUTHORITY.md at the documentation system’s root.
