Docket
The minimal auditable unit of the Public Record: a fixed, sequential identifier (PR-0001 …) for one act of the Hybrid Board, with type, instrument, release label, scope, temporal posture, canonical fingerprints, receipts and linked artefacts. A docket records the act, not merely the document.
Canonical definition
A docket is the minimal auditable unit of the Public Record: a structured entry with a fixed sequential identifier for one determination or act of the Hybrid Board, recording its type, instrument, release label, scope, temporal posture, canonical fingerprints, receipts and linked artefacts.
Why this node exists
A docket records an act, not merely a document. One docket may reference several documents; a document without a docket has no official status.
Operational meaning
Identifiers such as PR-0001 are assigned sequentially and never reused. The Statute's minimal docket schema lists identifier, UTC timestamp, release label, determination type, decision class, quorum, threshold, independent review, reason-bundle reference, fingerprints of released artefacts, receipts, publication boundary and notes. Where an instrument is amended or superseded, a new docket is created and the earlier one remains part of the history.
What this does not mean
A docket is not a certificate and not an endorsement. It is not editable and not deletable.
