## Definitions

### `software.release.manifest`

**Type**: `record`

An immutable collection of release artifacts. Written once and never updated: all facts (artifact digests, sizes, locations) are fixed at creation. Lifecycle changes use software.release.status records and software.release.channel moves. Any update to an existing release record is treated by indexers as a probable-compromise signal. Valid only when this record's DID matches the referenced project's DID.

**Key**: `tid`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `artifacts` | `array` | Yes | Typed release artifact fragments. Distribution and integrity rules are specified by each artifact's schema. |
| `project` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | The software.release.project this release belongs to. Must be same-DID. |
