changex-core 0.1.18

ChangeX core: canonical document model, append-only provenance journal, and the docx native-revisions adapter (M0 spine).

changex-core

Core of ChangeX — the provenance-first edit-tracking spine (roadmap M0).

This package contains, with no network access and no MCP dependency:

• changex_core.model — a canonical, addressable document-node tree whose node_id is an opaque, edit-invariant identifier (NOT a content hash). For docx paragraphs it reuses Word's native w14:paraId; for nodes lacking a native id it mints a monotonic per-session counter. A content+position fingerprint is demoted to a fallback rebind anchor used only for fuzzy re-resolution.
• changex_core.ops — the frozen v0.1 op vocabulary (docx-only): text.insert, text.delete, text.replace, node.insert, node.delete, style.change. Offsets are node-relative and seq-ordered; before substrings are validated against current node content.
• changex_core.journal — the append-only JSONL .changex journal with an RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalized sha256 hash chain, plus append, read, replay, verify, and revert.
• changex_core.adapters — the DocumentAdapter contract and the docx adapter that loads a .docx, applies the v0.1 ops, and renders native Word revisions (<w:ins> / <w:del> / <w:delText> / <w:pPrChange>) with centrally-allocated unique w:id, w:author = <model name>, and w:date.
• changex_core.render — an HTML/markdown redline projection of the journal.
• changex_core.baseline — a baseline snapshot + out-of-band mismatch warning.
• changex_core.cli — a thin CLI (changex track / review / verify) that exercises the spine for the M0 script-based acceptance test.

Threat model (hash chain)

The hash chain gives tamper-evidence for accidental corruption and naive tampering only. An attacker who controls the .changex can recompute the whole chain. Adversarial integrity requires out-of-band storage or signing (deferred to M6).
