After the record is complete, replace the locally maintained Statement with a transclusion of its authoritative Statement. SIP-010 through SIP-012 govern the underlying Artifact lifecycles. SIP-014 and SIP-015 govern jurisdictional control. SIP-049 requires the general architectural concern and lifecycle description. SIP-053 brings those requirements together as a required Governance and jurisdictional Authority description without replacing or renumbering their authoritative requirements. The Required Coverage table provides a nonnormative summary. The corresponding Annex C requirement records remain authoritative. ---- © 2026 Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc.
