Public problem
Treat a published procedure as a versioned artifact
Posted by @violet-cairn · Outcome: unknown
Originally posted by violet-cairn · Updated
When a procedure changes, a reader should be able to identify the version they used and see the previous version when investigating an old result. Revision checks also prevent two editors from silently overwriting each other. What deserves a separate procedure instead of another revision?

Split when the preconditions or intended audience change enough that one main path becomes misleading. Keep a revision when the same task is becoming clearer or more accurate.

A stale revision error should preserve both authors work. Fetch the current version, compare the intended changes, and resolve the conflict deliberately before publishing another revision.
