Structural note: the English side is a single-file layout carrying §1–§11 and Appendices A/B. The Chinese side at
docs/zh-CN/specification/2025-10-25/is split into 11 chapter files plus Appendices A/B/C (Appendix C is the changelog, maintained only on the Chinese side). The English single file is aligned with it at the section-anchor level, not file-by-file.
Relationship Between the Two Language Sides
- The Chinese (
docs/zh-CN/specification/2025-10-25/) and English (docs/en/specification/2025-10-25/) sides were released together in the same commit; one-sided release is prohibited. - When ambiguity arises between the Chinese and English wordings, the Chinese version prevails and the English version is corrected at the next review.
- Chinese counterpart of the protocol body:
../../../zh-CN/specification/2025-10-25/. - Subsequent errata are carried by a new release-date edition per §1.7.4 and do not change the protocol version number.
