docs(adr-008): propose moving estate UUIDs to version 8 (proposal) - #1158
Conversation
Owner ruling 2026-10-05 (selection UI): "v8 everywhere". Opens step 1 of the change procedure to supersede ESTATE-UUID-V7. Defines two estate v8 profiles (T: v7 layout with version 8; C: SHA-256 content-derived), records the costs put to the owner, and plans a five-phase campaign whose end-condition is the measured census of 459 live source repositories. Changes no binding standard, checker or rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughThe new ADR proposes an estate UUID v8 standard with two profiles. It states that the proposal is not adopted, and that existing standards, tooling and repositories remain unchanged until a decision. ChangesUUID v8 estate standard
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Other Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This adds a proposed UUID v8 standard and does not change current behavior. Profile C needs a precisely defined hash input, and the migration plan needs to say how existing v7-keyed records are found. Both gaps should be fixed before the proposal is ratified, but they do not block merging the draft record. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The proposal leaves current UUID policy and enforcement unchanged. Its future migration plan needs a clearer validation handoff and explicit preservation of transactional migration and rollback safeguards before adoption. Retained concerns

Review comments at @docs/decisions/ADR-008-uuid-v8-estate-standard.adoc:
- Around line 77-78: Update the Profile C formula in the ADR to specify a
canonical encoding and normalization for both domain and name, then frame their
byte strings unambiguously before hashing. Ensure distinct domain/name pairs
cannot produce the same preimage, and retain the existing UUID version and
variant bit requirements.
- Around line 139-140: Clarify the P2 behavior in the “P2, dual-accept” ADR
entry: specify whether reads of records still indexed by their original v7 key
fall back to that legacy key or rekey the record before using the profile T
alias.

Specify canonical, unambiguous Profile C input bytes.
SHA-256 hashes bytes, but this formula does not define how name becomes bytes or how the fields are framed. Since domain may contain : and name is unrestricted, (domain="a", name="b:c") and (domain="a:b", name="c") produce the same preimage. Different language defaults can also produce different IDs for the same text. Define the name encoding and normalisation, and frame both byte strings unambiguously, before ratifying Profile C.
