Metadata Synchronization Notes

This folder exists to keep the repository and Zenodo record synchronized over time.

Purpose#

The files in this directory define the canonical citation and descriptive metadata for the paper “Calibrating AI Drift via Declared Operating Regimes.” They are intended to mirror the Zenodo record exactly and should be updated only when a new version of the paper is released.

Files#

• CITATION.cff
  Canonical citation metadata used by GitHub, Zenodo, and reference managers.

• zenodo.json
  Upload metadata used during Zenodo publication.

Update Policy#

• Do not modify metadata for minor text edits or formatting changes.
• Update metadata only when:
  • a new Zenodo version is published
  • the DOI changes
  • authorship or title changes

Design Intent#

This work is intended as a stable, citeable technical reference. Metadata is kept minimal and conservative to avoid semantic drift between repository content and archival records.

The goal is long‑term clarity, not version churn.
