A move writes the repository: it stamps one field of this issue's record and appends one event to the ledger, and a commit will carry both.

What it is

Objective
Derive the grouping that makes two pieces of work comparable from facts the records already hold, so that a recommendation compares like with like without anybody inventing a taxonomy of task types.
Why
A recommendation is only meaningful within a class of comparable work, and the obvious way to get one is to invent categories. Invented categories are a new vocabulary nobody validates, which this repository refuses on principle and would regret in practice.
Now
Records carry a profile, a declared scope, a verification result and an outcome. Nothing groups them, and nothing says what makes two tasks comparable.
Wanted
A derivation produces groups from recorded facts alone, states what it grouped on, and refuses to group where the facts are too thin to support it.
Done when
unknown: the record declares no `completion`
Risk
A grouping that is too coarse makes every recommendation the same one; too fine and no group ever reaches a usable denominator. Whichever is chosen has to be visible in the output.

Acceptance

  • Grouping uses only fields already recorded, and names them in its output
  • No new record type or vocabulary is introduced
  • Work that cannot be grouped is reported as ungrouped rather than forced into a group
