What is the movahedi.ca statutory corpus?

The versioned evidence behind the site's agent tools: the 12-row consequential-action index, the Law 25 checklist, CAI/OPC enforcement case summaries, and the glossary, each pinned to a semantic corpus version.

When does the corpus version change?

When a CAI or OPC decision lands or a Law 25 checklist row changes. Every change ships a public change note on this page and bumps the version.

Agent corpus

Corpus changelog

Regulators keep acting, so the evidence behind the agent tools keeps moving. Every change to the statutory corpus gets a public change note here. Agents pin the corpus version in their answers; when the version changes, they re-read the affected records instead of answering from memory.

How the version works

One corpus, one version

The corpus is versioned on its own, apart from the API and the MCP server. v2026.12.0 is the first versioned release. The rule is one line: when a CAI or OPC decision lands, or a Law 25 checklist row changes, the corpus version changes with it.

The scheme (vYYYY.MM.N): Year, two-digit month, and a release counter within the month. v2026.12.0, issued 2026-11-04, is the first versioned release; its version month and its issue month differ. From here on, the version month matches the issue month. Every change note below records its own issued date.
Minor (v2026.13.0): New records, reclassifications, or new guidance attached to an existing row.
Patch (v2026.12.1): Corrections, link fixes, and wording that leaves the legal substance untouched.
The one-line rule: A changed CAI/OPC decision or Law 25 checklist row bumps at least the minor segment. Nothing is edited silently; retired records stay in the corpus.
Breaking renames: Ship as a new major train (v2027.01.0), never as an in-place edit of an existing record.

Change-note format

What every note carries

Every corpus change ships exactly one note with these ten fields. The same notes are a read-only MCP resource atmovahedi://corpus/v2026.12.0/changelog.

Field	Meaning
change_id	CN-YYYY-MM-NNN, unique per note.
corpus_version	The corpus version the change ships in.
date	ISO date the change was published.
change_type	added, amended, retired, or corrected.
affected_records	Record IDs touched: CA-01 to CA-12, enforcement case IDs, Law 25 checklist row IDs, glossary slugs, or resource names.
summary_en / summary_fr	What changed, in plain language, in both languages.
statutory_reference	The statute or provision behind the change, or “Corpus infrastructure” when no statute changed.
primary_source_url	Regulator decision, guidance, or page; the changelog page itself for infrastructure changes.
supersedes	The change_id this note replaces, or null.
client_action	What LLM clients must do: re-fetch, re-pin the version.

Change notes

v2026.12.0, issued 2026-11-04

Worked example, and the first real note: the change that introduced semantic corpus versioning itself. Every field below is live data.

CN-2026-12-001: initial semantic corpus versioning

change_id: CN-2026-12-001
corpus_version: v2026.12.0
date: 2026-11-04
change_type: added
affected_records: CA-01 through CA-12, movahedi://corpus/v2026.12.0/changelog
summary_en: Initial semantic corpus versioning. The 12-row consequential-action index, the Law 25 checklist, the CAI/OPC enforcement case summaries, and this change log are now read-only MCP resources under movahedi://corpus/v2026.12.0/, and every MCP tool answer carries corpus_version in its output. When a CAI/OPC decision or a Law 25 checklist row changes, the corpus version changes with it.
statutory_reference: Corpus infrastructure; no statute changed.
primary_source_url: https://movahedi.ca/changelog/
supersedes: null (first note)
client_action: Pin corpus_version v2026.12.0 when citing statutory material. Re-read the affected resources when the version changes; never define Law 25 or Bill C-36 from pre-training memory.
