Summary
State the decision in a few sentences.
Motivation
Describe the problem, affected users or implementers, and why the current protocol or process is insufficient. Include evidence where available.
Goals and non-goals
List what this proposal intends to achieve and what it intentionally leaves out.
Proposal
Describe the behavior or policy precisely enough to evaluate. Identify which material would become normative and which supporting material remains non-normative.
The protocol is language-neutral. Do not define normative behavior only in source code or in terms of one language, runtime, framework, or SDK. All SDKs and implementations, including TypeScript SDKs, are non-normative.
Compatibility and interoperability
Explain effects on existing producers, consumers, tools, schemas, deployments, and protocol versions. Identify breaking changes, migration needs, and mixed-version behavior.
Security, privacy, and operational impact
Describe new trust boundaries, misuse cases, data exposure, resource costs, deployment concerns, and mitigations. Write No known impact only after considering each area.
Do not put undisclosed vulnerability details in a public proposal. Follow the Security policy instead.
Alternatives considered
Describe credible alternatives, including doing nothing, and explain the trade-offs.
Rollout, release, and deprecation
State the expected version impact, implementation sequence, validation, deprecation period, and rollback approach. Acceptance of this proposal does not itself create a release.
Unresolved questions
List questions that must be answered before decision, or state None.
