# XVI. REGISTRY

Nexus Agile Framework Registry defines the **NAF status-truth and object governance model** for Registry records, Marketplace listings, object discovery, version control, support status, correction, archive, and lawful handoff awareness. This section explains how **status truth, listing governance, object records, and discovery controls** make public-good objects searchable, traceable, and reusable without creating endorsement, certification, or procurement authority.

This section sets the operating model for **Marketplace discovery**, **Registry lifecycle records**, **listing governance**, **support and correction records**, **archive controls**, and **boundary preservation**. It helps Nexus manage object identity, improve discoverability, govern listings, preserve status memory, and route objects across Reports, Studio, Grid, TRL, National Portfolios, and Nexus Universe without implying approval, financeability, deployment authorization, or execution.

### What this section covers

* **Discovery and listings** - Defines Marketplace listings, public-good discovery, metadata governance, support discovery, and handoff awareness.
* **Status truth and records** - Explains Registry object records, lifecycle records, version control, support status, correction, and archive memory.
* **Governance and boundaries** - Defines listing review, public-safe controls, provider-neutrality, sponsor boundaries, and no-certification rules.

Use this section with [Nexus Agile Framework (NAF)](/organization/operations/frameworks/nexus-agile-framework-naf.md) for the full framework overview, [XIV. STUDIO](/organization/operations/frameworks/nexus-agile-framework-naf/xiv.-studio.md) for controlled runtime workflows and demonstrations, [XV. GRID](/organization/operations/frameworks/nexus-agile-framework-naf/xv.-grid.md) for readiness records and TRL routing, and [XIII. INTELLIGENCE](/organization/operations/frameworks/nexus-agile-framework-naf/xiii.-intelligence.md) for signals, indicators, and intelligence objects that flow into Registry and Marketplace.

## 16.1 Marketplace Position in NAF

### 16.1.1 Marketplace as Discovery Surface.

16.1.1.1 Nexus Marketplace shall operate within NAF as the governed discovery surface through which public-good objects, learning objects, Reports, data objects, software objects, model objects, Studio workflows, Grid inputs, TRL notes, DRI objects, GRIx objects, DICE objects, Observatory outputs, Campaign objects, Foundry objects, National Portfolio objects, Nexus Universe outputs, support opportunities, contribution opportunities, capability needs, and lawful handoff context may be made discoverable without becoming procurement, endorsement, certification, validation, financeability, insurability, deployment authorization, consent, public authority action, or execution by implication.

16.1.1.2 Marketplace shall make Nexus work findable, understandable, comparable within limits, reusable where safe, supportable where appropriate, and routable across Nexus pillars and mechanisms. It shall not create a vendor marketplace by default, a procurement catalogue, a finance platform, an investment platform, a certification directory, a public authority approval register, a compliance register, an insurance scoring surface, or a deployment catalogue.

16.1.1.3 Marketplace discovery shall be governed by object identity, object class, steward, source pathway, version, Registry status, access class, release class, license or use condition, support class, public-safe status, data-use label, AI-use label, sensitivity class, review status, correction pathway, archive rule, boundary notices, and lawful handoff limitations.

16.1.1.4 Marketplace discovery shall be public-safe by default. Objects that cannot safely be made publicly discoverable may be listed in controlled, metadata-only, secure-room-only, data-room-only, National Node-only, handoff-recipient-only, or archive-only form.

### 16.1.2 Marketplace as Public-Good Listing Environment.

16.1.2.1 Marketplace shall serve as the public-good listing environment for Nexus outputs that are ready for discovery within their release class, including open public goods, controlled public goods, public-safe summaries, internal objects, contribution opportunities, learning pathways, Reports, software releases, datasets, dashboards, Studio workflows, Campaign objects, Foundry quests, bounties, builds, National Portfolio objects, Universe outputs, and handoff-context objects.

16.1.2.2 Public-good listing shall require listing metadata, object class, purpose, scope, steward, version, Registry linkage where applicable, access conditions, use conditions, support class, public-safe status, review status, correction pathway, archive rule, and no-conversion notices.

16.1.2.3 Marketplace listing shall preserve open where safe and controlled where necessary. A listing may point to open objects, controlled objects, restricted objects, secure-room objects, data-room objects, protected knowledge exclusions, public-safe summaries, metadata-only records, or lawful handoff dependency records.

16.1.2.4 Public-good listing shall not imply that the listed object is approved, certified, endorsed, preferred, financeable, insurable, procurable, deployable, operationally ready, legally compliant, publicly authorized, community-approved, Indigenous-approved where applicable, or executable.

### 16.1.3 Marketplace as Support Discovery Environment.

16.1.3.1 Marketplace may identify support opportunities, support needs, support classes, maintainer needs, translation needs, accessibility needs, localization needs, documentation needs, testing needs, review needs, cybersecurity needs, public-safe reporting needs, safeguard review needs, Academy support needs, Foundry support needs, Campaign support needs, National Node support needs, Nexus Universe support needs, and lawful handoff dependency support needs.

16.1.3.2 Support discovery shall be governed by Support Ledgers, Registry status, support class, steward record, maintainer record, provider contribution record, sponsor support record, issue record, correction record, dependency record, public-safe status, and boundary notices.

16.1.3.3 Sponsor support, provider support, host support, donor support, institutional support, community support, maintainer support, or expert support discovered through Marketplace shall not become control, ownership, validation, endorsement, procurement preference, routing priority, Registry status control, public authority approval, finance commitment, insurance approval, deployment authorization, or execution.

16.1.3.4 Support discovery may enable lawful conversations, contribution routing, learning pathways, Foundry work, Campaign activation, National Portfolio strengthening, Nexus Universe preparation, or handoff dependency clarification, but it shall not create binding commitments unless separately and lawfully recorded outside Marketplace.

### 16.1.4 Marketplace as Learning and Contribution Discovery Environment.

16.1.4.1 Marketplace shall support learning and contribution discovery by listing Academy pathways, Risk Academy pathways, WILPs, ILA-linked learning objects, iCRS contribution opportunities, Foundry quests, bounties, builds, micro-production tasks, Campaign roles, public-safe reporting tasks, review opportunities, translation tasks, accessibility tasks, data stewardship tasks, software contribution opportunities, DRI contribution opportunities, GRIx mapping opportunities, Observatory contribution opportunities, National Working Group work, Competence Cell opportunities, and Nexus Universe preparation pathways.

16.1.4.2 Learning and contribution listings shall identify participation requirements, prerequisite learning where applicable, expected outputs, evidence requirements, review requirements, support class, time horizon, data and AI restrictions, safeguard restrictions, public-safe status, labor boundary, contribution recognition route, correction pathway, and archive rule.

16.1.4.3 Marketplace contribution discovery shall not create employment, wage entitlement, visa status, immigration status, labor authorization, professional license, credential, certification, procurement qualification, public authority role, consent, deployment authorization, or execution.

16.1.4.4 Marketplace learning discovery shall not create credential status, professional qualification, public authority approval, employer acceptance, procurement readiness, financeability, deployment authority, or execution by implication.

### 16.1.5 Marketplace as Handoff Awareness Surface.

16.1.5.1 Marketplace may operate as a handoff awareness surface by identifying objects that may be relevant to lawful downstream review by National Consortium Companies, Project SPVs, public authorities, providers, operators, contractors, funders, insurers, donors, universities, laboratories, community actors where appropriate, and other competent lawful actors.

16.1.5.2 Handoff awareness listings may include evidence context, data context, method context, Studio context, Grid context, TRL context, public-safe status, safeguard status, public authority dependencies, legal dependencies, finance and insurance questions, procurement boundaries, provider-neutrality notes, sponsor-boundary notes, recipient responsibilities, correction pathways, recall pathways, and archive linkage.

16.1.5.3 Handoff awareness shall be a discovery function only. It shall not authorize handoff, implementation, procurement, finance, insurance, public authority action, consent, deployment, operation, contracting, or execution.

16.1.5.4 Marketplace shall clearly distinguish objects that are open for learning, open for contribution, open for reuse, controlled for review, restricted for secure-room access, listed only for awareness, or relevant only as handoff dependency context.

### 16.1.6 Marketplace Without Procurement, Validation, or Endorsement.

16.1.6.1 Marketplace shall not be a procurement system, vendor approval system, supplier list, tender mechanism, purchasing platform, preferred-provider directory, technical validation register, sponsor endorsement surface, investment marketplace, insurance scoring surface, rating platform, certification register, standards conformance register, or public authority approval register.

16.1.6.2 Marketplace shall not rank providers, certify products, validate vendors, endorse sponsors, approve software, approve data, approve models, approve AI workflows, approve infrastructure, approve National Portfolio objects, approve Studio workflows, approve TRL status, approve public authority use, approve finance, approve insurance, approve procurement, approve deployment, or approve execution.

16.1.6.3 Marketplace may display object status, Registry linkage, support status, access class, review status, public-safe status, support class, correction history, and handoff relevance, but such display shall remain descriptive and bounded.

16.1.6.4 Any downstream procurement, finance, insurance, contracting, deployment, public authority action, community process, Indigenous process where applicable, or execution must occur separately through competent lawful actors and lawful processes outside Marketplace.

### 16.1.7 Marketplace as Ecosystem Memory Interface.

16.1.7.1 Marketplace shall operate as an ecosystem memory interface by making the current discoverable state of Nexus objects visible in relation to their Registry records, status history, version history, support history, correction history, archive history, and downstream routing.

16.1.7.2 Marketplace memory shall allow users to understand whether an object is new, active, supported, unsupported, under review, corrected, deprecated, suspended, withdrawn, superseded, archived, non-continuing, or relevant only as historical context.

16.1.7.3 Marketplace memory shall reduce duplication, prevent stale use, enable contribution continuity, support public-good reuse, preserve institutional knowledge, route users to successor objects, identify support gaps, surface correction notices, and protect against overclaim.

16.1.7.4 Marketplace memory shall not create current authority from historical objects. Archived, superseded, withdrawn, suspended, or non-continuing objects shall carry clear notices preventing current-use overclaim.

### 16.1.8 Marketplace as Public-Safe Demand-Signal Surface.

16.1.8.1 Marketplace may operate as a public-safe demand-signal surface by recording interest, searches, reuse requests, support requests, translation requests, accessibility requests, bug reports, feature requests, learning demand, contribution demand, National Portfolio needs, Nexus Universe preparation needs, public authority learning questions, readiness-room questions, capital-reader questions, insurance-reader questions, donor-reader questions, and handoff awareness signals.

16.1.8.2 Demand signals shall be governed as learning signals, not market commitments. They may inform Dockets, Foundry backlogs, Campaign priorities, Academy pathways, Reports planning, Studio workflows, Grid review, TRL notes, National Portfolio updates, Nexus Universe arenas, and lawful handoff dependency mapping.

16.1.8.3 Demand signals shall not create public authority demand, procurement demand, finance demand, insurance demand, donor commitment, customer commitment, market validation, country ranking, provider ranking, sponsor control, community consent, Indigenous consent where applicable, deployment authorization, or execution.

16.1.8.4 Public-safe demand-signal records shall avoid exposing sensitive user data, public authority-sensitive intent, community-sensitive information, protected knowledge, competitively sensitive information, finance-sensitive information, cyber-sensitive information, or restricted data except within authorized access controls.

## 16.2 Registry Position in NAF

### 16.2.1 Registry as Status-Truth Surface.

16.2.1.1 Nexus Registry shall operate within NAF as the status-truth surface for Nexus objects, preserving the recorded status of Reports, data objects, software objects, learning objects, Campaign objects, Foundry objects, Studio workflows, National Portfolio objects, DICE objects, GRIx objects, DRI objects, Observatory objects, Grid inputs, TRL notes, Marketplace listings, Nexus Universe outputs, Proof Receipts, Docket items, support records, correction records, handoff dependency packages, and archive records.

16.2.1.2 Registry status truth shall mean that the object’s recorded state is visible, traceable, versioned, reviewable, correctionable, and bounded by scope. It shall not mean the object is certified, approved, endorsed, validated, financeable, insurable, procurable, deployable, officially adopted, community-approved, Indigenous-approved where applicable, or executable.

16.2.1.3 Registry shall distinguish object status from object claim. An object may claim a purpose, scope, method, release class, support class, or readiness class only where the Registry record supports that claim.

16.2.1.4 Registry shall function as the memory spine for object governance, ensuring that downstream users do not rely on stale, withdrawn, suspended, unsupported, superseded, or non-continuing objects as if they were current.

### 16.2.2 Registry as Lifecycle Record.

16.2.2.1 Registry shall preserve lifecycle records from concept, intake, classification, draft, in build, in review, public-safe transformation, release, listing, publication, support, correction, downgrade, suspension, withdrawal, recall, supersession, archive, and non-continuation.

16.2.2.2 Lifecycle records shall include object identity, object class, steward, version, source pathway, Docket linkage, review history, release class, access class, support class, data-use label, AI-use label, public-safe status, safeguard status, Grid status, TRL note where applicable, Marketplace status where applicable, Studio status where applicable, Report status where applicable, Universe status where applicable, National Portfolio status where applicable, handoff relevance, correction history, and archive rule.

16.2.2.3 Lifecycle records shall preserve continuity across Nexus pillars. An object that begins as a Foundry build, becomes a Studio workflow, supports a Report, receives Grid input, receives TRL notation, becomes Marketplace-listed, enters a National Portfolio, appears in Nexus Universe, and becomes handoff context shall retain traceable lifecycle memory.

16.2.2.4 Lifecycle status shall not convert movement through Nexus into authority. Movement is record-bearing, not approval-bearing by default.

### 16.2.3 Registry as Version-Control Surface.

16.2.3.1 Registry shall operate as a version-control surface for Nexus objects, recording versions, revisions, forks, localizations, translations, adaptations, corrections, supersessions, withdrawals, archives, successor objects, and dependency relationships.

16.2.3.2 Registry version records shall include version number or identifier, date, steward, contributor record where applicable, maintainer record where applicable, change summary, evidence changes, data changes, method changes, AI-use changes, security changes, public-safe changes, safeguard changes, support changes, release changes, correction changes, and archive linkage.

16.2.3.3 Localized, translated, national, regional, or sector-specific versions shall identify jurisdictional context, localization basis, translation status, national routing, public authority terminology considerations, data sovereignty considerations, safeguard considerations, and semantic drift controls.

16.2.3.4 Version-control status shall not imply legal equivalence, standards conformance, public authority adoption, certification, procurement eligibility, financeability, deployment authorization, or execution.

### 16.2.4 Registry as Support-Status Surface.

16.2.4.1 Registry shall record support status for Nexus objects, including unsupported, community-supported, maintainer-supported, Academy-supported, Foundry-supported, Studio-supported, National Node-supported, provider-supported, sponsor-supported, handoff-recipient-supported, time-limited-supported, deprecated, suspended, withdrawn, archived, or non-continuing.

16.2.4.2 Support-status records shall identify steward, maintainer, support channel, known issue pathway, vulnerability pathway where applicable, correction pathway, expected update cadence where applicable, dependency status, support limitations, end-of-support conditions, archive rule, and public-safe support notice.

16.2.4.3 Support status shall not create warranty, service-level agreement, uptime guarantee, security guarantee, procurement eligibility, financeability, insurance approval, public authority approval, deployment authorization, or execution unless separately and lawfully contracted outside Registry.

16.2.4.4 Registry shall prevent unsupported objects from being displayed, listed, taught, presented, handed off, or reused as if they were supported.

### 16.2.5 Registry as Correction Surface.

16.2.5.1 Registry shall operate as a correction surface by recording corrections, addenda, errata, revisions, supersessions, downgrades, suspensions, withdrawals, recalls, public-safe notices, Marketplace delistings, Report corrections, Studio restrictions, Grid changes, TRL changes, National Portfolio corrections, Nexus Universe corrections, handoff recalls, archive changes, and non-continuation decisions.

16.2.5.2 Correction records shall include object identity, affected version, correction type, correction reason, source of correction, review status, downstream affected objects, downstream notices, handoff implications, public-safe notice where applicable, successor object where applicable, and archive linkage.

16.2.5.3 Registry correction shall be propagated to Marketplace, Reports, Studio, Grid, TRL, Academy, Campaigns, Foundry, DICE, GRIx, DRI, Observatory, National Portfolios, Nexus Universe, Rails, Network, National Nodes, and handoff recipients where applicable.

16.2.5.4 Registry shall make correction part of status truth. Objects with correction history shall not conceal correction history where that history is material to use, reliance, release, listing, teaching, presentation, or handoff context.

### 16.2.6 Registry as Archive Surface.

16.2.6.1 Registry shall operate as the archive surface for Nexus object memory, preserving historical records of objects that are superseded, withdrawn, recalled, deprecated, unsupported, suspended, non-continuing, completed, expired, closed, or retained only for institutional memory.

16.2.6.2 Archive records shall include archive status, archive date, archive reason, access class, sensitivity class, public-safe status, license or use status, support status, correction history, successor link where applicable, historical-use note, archive-not-current notice, retention rule, deletion or sealing rule where applicable, and public-safe summary where appropriate.

16.2.6.3 Registry archive shall prevent silent erasure and silent continuation. Objects shall not disappear without record where they were materially used, and objects shall not continue as active where they are no longer current.

16.2.6.4 Archive status shall not create current authority, current readiness, current approval, current support, deployment authorization, or execution.

### 16.2.7 Registry Without Certification.

16.2.7.1 Registry shall not certify. It may record status, version, review, support, correction, archive, public-safe state, Grid inputs, TRL notes, Marketplace status, Studio status, Reports status, National Portfolio status, Nexus Universe status, and handoff relevance, but no Registry record shall constitute certification, accreditation, public authority approval, standards conformance, procurement readiness, financeability, insurability, deployment authorization, or execution.

16.2.7.2 Registry language shall remain descriptive and bounded. It shall not use or permit claims that imply certification, approval, validation, endorsement, preferred status, official status, finance status, insurance status, procurement status, consent, operational readiness, deployment readiness, or execution readiness unless such authority exists separately and is accurately recorded as external authority, not Registry authority.

16.2.7.3 Where external certifications, approvals, licenses, permits, standards conformance statements, public authority actions, procurement decisions, insurance decisions, finance decisions, or consent records exist, Registry may reference them only with clear source, scope, authority, limitation, expiry, jurisdiction, and boundary notes. Registry shall not expand their meaning.

### 16.2.8 Registry as Boundary-Preservation Layer.

16.2.8.1 Registry shall operate as a boundary-preservation layer by recording and enforcing distinctions among public-good stack, enterprise stack, learning, research, evidence, Studio demonstration, Marketplace discovery, Grid readiness, TRL notation, Reports publication, public authority learning, capital-reader learning, insurance-reader learning, National Portfolio memory, Nexus Universe presentation, and lawful handoff context.

16.2.8.2 Registry shall preserve no-conversion discipline across objects. It shall prevent a Report from becoming approval, a Marketplace listing from becoming procurement, a Grid input from becoming certification, a TRL note from becoming deployment authorization, a Studio workflow from becoming decision authority, a Campaign record from becoming consent, a public authority participation record from becoming public authority action, a capital-reader record from becoming finance, an insurance-reader record from becoming underwriting, and a handoff relevance record from becoming implementation authority.

16.2.8.3 Registry boundary notices shall travel with objects across Marketplace, Reports, Studio, Grid, TRL, Academy, Campaigns, Foundry, DICE, GRIx, DRI, Observatory, National Portfolios, Universe, Rails, Network, National Nodes, and handoff packages.

16.2.8.4 Registry shall be the institutional memory that protects Nexus from role collapse, overclaim, silent supersession, unauthorized continuation, hidden endorsement, sponsor capture, provider validation, public authority substitution, finance-boundary breach, procurement-boundary breach, consent overclaim, deployment overclaim, and execution overclaim.

16.7.7.1 Handoff relevance displayed in Marketplace or Registry shall not authorize implementation, procurement, finance, insurance, public authority action, consent, deployment, operation, contracting, construction, installation, integration, emergency action, public warning, community action, or execution.

16.7.7.2 Handoff relevance shall mean only that an object may contain context, evidence, data, method, Studio output, Grid status, TRL note, public-safe status, safeguard status, dependency record, legal dependency, finance or insurance question, procurement boundary, provider-neutrality note, sponsor-boundary note, recipient responsibility, correction pathway, recall pathway, or archive linkage relevant to separate lawful review.

16.7.7.3 The final Registry rule of Part XVI is that NAF may use Nexus Marketplace and Nexus Registry to make public-good objects discoverable, status-true, versioned, supported, corrected, archived, and handoff-aware only through record-based, scope-limited, public-safe, safeguard-aware, role-separated, non-certifying, non-procurement, non-financial, non-executing, and correctionable governance. No Marketplace listing, Registry record, status truth, support status, featured placement, download, discovery signal, demand signal, provider contribution record, sponsor support record, public authority participation record, Grid object, TRL object, Studio workflow, Report, Campaign object, Foundry object, DICE object, GRIx object, DRI object, Observatory object, National Portfolio object, Nexus Universe output, or handoff context object shall become endorsement, certification, maturity certification, standards conformance, public authority approval, procurement readiness, financeability, insurability, consent, deployment authorization, operational command, agency, employment, warranty, or execution by implication.
