Restatement, withdrawal and service exit
Status: proposed
A record is never edited or deleted. A correction is a new record that restates the earlier one, giving a reason, the observer and the time, and it takes the earlier record’s time slot. A value that should not have been captured is corrected by restating the record without it. A record whose event never happened is withdrawn: it is kept but no longer counted. When there are several restatements, the latest one governs.
A service exit formally ends a service point’s enrolment. An exit recorded in error is withdrawn, and the enrolment it ended counts again. Service after a valid exit restarts only with a new signed enrolment. A reversal is never a second exit act.
Follows ncgs ADR-0018, ADR-0025 and ADR-0027. Distilled from novaWaste2 corrections, field and submission voids, termination and reversal (docs/distillation/entities.md §3). NWSS restates whole records, not single fields.
