====== 15.5 Generated-File Header Requirements ======

[[fxdemo:04-part:15-phase-0-developer-handbook-requirements:start | Go To Phase 0 Developer Handbook Requirements ]]

The Developer Handbook must define a standard header for generated files.

The generated-file header must identify:

  - Source definition
  - Source file
  - Generator or generation process
  - Generation context or version
  - Generated output location
  - Regeneration policy
  - Manual-editing rule
  - Related IDL structure or source artifact
  - Related FX logical information structure where applicable
  - [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] reference

Generated files must state whether developers may edit them. By default, developers must not hand-edit generated files. Manual adaptation belongs in approved hand-authored wrapper modules, helper modules, adapter modules, or other source locations defined by the handbook.

The generated-file header protects repeatability. It helps reviewers distinguish governed generated artifacts from hand-authored implementation logic.
