Submitted documents in Framework M are strictly immutable. To handle real-world edits without breaking the ledger, we are proposing three patterns: Audit Timeline ( AuditMixin ) Append-only log. No edits/deletes. Mandatory categories (e.g. Correction Reason). Sibling Extensions Keep financial docs locked. Link an editable "Sibling" DocType for metadata (Driver, Vehicle, etc). UI overlays these fields so it feels like one document. Correction Wizard Automation for "Cancel-Amend-Resubmit". One click: Asks for reason -> Cancels -> Creates new Draft -> Redirects.

RFC-0008: Compliance Edit Mode

Submitted documents in Framework M are strictly immutable. To handle real-world edits without breaking the ledger, we are proposing three patterns:

Audit Timeline (AuditMixin)
- Append-only log.
- No edits/deletes.
- Mandatory categories (e.g. Correction Reason).
Sibling Extensions
- Keep financial docs locked.
- Link an editable "Sibling" DocType for metadata (Driver, Vehicle, etc).
- UI overlays these fields so it feels like one document.
Correction Wizard
- Automation for "Cancel-Amend-Resubmit".
- One click: Asks for reason -> Cancels -> Creates new Draft -> Redirects.
