+# Bitcode Spec V46 Delta
+
+## Status
+
+- Version: `V46`
+- V46 state: draft opening; V46 is the active draft target over promoted V45 canon
+- Current canonical/latest target: `V45`
+- Prior canonical anchor: `BITCODE_SPEC_V45.md`
+- Prior generated proof appendix: `BITCODE_SPEC_V45_PROVEN.md`
+- Generated structured artifact inventory: draft `.bitcode/v46-spec-family-report.json` and `.bitcode/v46-canonical-input-report.json`; later V46 gates must authorize proof-family, rehearsal, promotion-readiness, and generated proof appendix artifacts before they become required V46 evidence
+- Source parity state: V46 source parity has not been audited; Gate 1 opens the draft-target roadmap and validation boundary only
+- Notes companion: `BITCODE_SPEC_V46_NOTES.md`
+- Spec companion: `BITCODE_SPEC_V46.md`
+- Parity companion: `BITCODE_SPEC_V46_PARITY_MATRIX.md`
+- Scope: V46 draft delta for commercial protocol comprehension, public/operator explanation, source-safe interface claims, and proof-readable launch posture over promoted V45 knowledge commoditization law
+- Last fully realized canonical target preserved in source: `V45`
+
+## Why V46 exists
+
+V45 made Bitcode's knowledge commoditization law explicit: AssetPack is the
+commodity, BTD is Need-relative weighted scalar knowledge-volume whose settled
+form carries rights, BTC is settlement money, source-to-shares routes
+contributor compensation, and proof-backed readback advances state. V46 exists
+to make that law commercially legible across public, operator, product,
+machine, and conversational surfaces without weakening source-safety or
+overstating live value-bearing posture.
+
+## Accepted V46 decisions
+
+- V45 remains active canon while V46 is drafted.
+- V46 opens as a specification-first version; Gate 1 is roadmap/spec-family
+  opening only.
+- V46 focuses on external protocol comprehension and launch-facing claim
+  readiness before it authorizes implementation changes.
+- Public docs, landing copy, `/packs`, `/read`, `/deposit`, API/MCP, ChatGPT
+  App, and Bitcode Chat must explain the same protocol law with source-safe
+  boundaries.
+- Investor or pitch material may inform wording, but it is not protocol law
+  unless reconciled into the formal V46 specification family.
+- All V46 work must preserve V45's source-safe preview, BTC finality before
+  source unlock, BTD rights, proof readback, repair, and value-bearing mainnet
+  blocks.
+
+## Explicitly deferred
+
+- V46 does not replace V45 until a later promotion workflow validates and
+  advances `BITCODE_SPEC.txt`.
+- Gate 1 does not authorize runtime behavior, schema changes, route changes,
+  settlement behavior, proof-family artifacts, source-safe rehearsal artifacts,
+  or promotion-readiness artifacts.
+- Value-bearing mainnet operation remains deferred.
+- Generated V46 proof appendix material remains future work until a proof or
+  promotion gate makes it current.
+
+## Accepted Pre-Implementation Sequence
+
+1. Open the V46 draft family over active V45 and validate draft posture.
+2. Specify commercial protocol comprehension atoms in small gates.
+3. Consolidate accepted atoms into the formal V46 specification family.
+4. Audit implementation parity from the formal V46 family.
+5. Group implementation, proof, interface, rehearsal, and documentation work
+   by accepted parity gaps.
+6. Close promotion readiness only after all scoped gates are green.
+7. Promote V46 only through the maintained promotion workflow.
+
+## Gate 1: V46 Commercial Protocol Comprehension Roadmap Opening
+
+Gate 1 closes when the V46 spec family exists as draft material over active
+V45, the roadmap names the V46 focus and tentative gates, the branch/check
+contract is present, CI knows how to validate active V45 plus draft V46, and no
+V46 file claims promoted authority.
+
+## Commit-Body Direction
+
+V46 commit bodies should name the gate class, protocol law or interface claim
+being clarified, validation command, source-safety posture, and whether the
+change is specification-only, parity-only, proof-only, interface-only,
+implementation, rehearsal, or promotion work.
