Basic explanation

What this does: two documentation fixes where the written rules disagreed with how the project actually works.

1. The contributor book says a check like if protocol_version >= 14 inside already-shipped code is not allowed and needs a new version of the code instead. The project deliberately makes one exception that the book never mentioned: new system contracts are added to the genesis code (version 1) behind exactly such a check, because only short-lived test networks ever run that code. The book now describes that exception and why it is safe.
2. The editor settings file told editors to indent Swift and Kotlin with 2 spaces, while all Kotlin code and nearly all Swift code in the repo uses 4. It now says 4.

Value: reviewers and contributors stop flagging the genesis pattern as a violation, and editors stop reformatting Swift and Kotlin files to 2 spaces.

Risks: None. Documentation and editor settings only.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

• book/src/versioning/versioned-dispatch.md says an if platform_version.protocol_version >= 14 inside a generation "gets a generation", and the chapter documents the upgrade ladder and the is_allowed gate as intended comparisons. create_genesis_state_v1 uses >= 13 (document history) and >= 14 (app connect, moderation charters) on purpose (decided on feat(platform)!: add app-connect login response system contract #4869): mainnet and testnet were born at protocol version 1 and replay generation 0, and generation 1 only serves chains born at 9 or later, all of which are re-created per release.
• .editorconfig had no Swift or Kotlin section, so both fell under indent_size = 2. All 395 .kt files, the 4 .kts files and 478 of 497 .swift files use 4.

What was done?

• versioned-dispatch.md: a paragraph after the is_allowed paragraph describing the genesis exception (what selects generation 1, why no live node reproduces its genesis, that existing chains get the content from transition_to_version_N, never touch generation 0).
• coding-conventions.md: one sentence in "Shipped generations are frozen..." listing the three intended protocol_version comparisons with a link to that chapter.
• .editorconfig: [*.{swift,kt,kts}] indent_size = 4; AGENTS.md (which CLAUDE.md links to) says the same.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes set four-space indentation for Swift and Kotlin files. They also document intentional protocol-version comparisons and explain how version-dependent genesis content is handled for new and existing chains.

Changes

Indentation Guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Swift and Kotlin indentation rules .editorconfig, AGENTS.md	The editor configuration and coding-style guidance specify four-space indentation for Swift and Kotlin files. Existing Rust and Python guidance remains.

Genesis Versioning Guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Protocol-versioned genesis guidance book/src/contributing/coding-conventions.md, book/src/versioning/versioned-dispatch.md	The contributing guide identifies intentional protocol-version comparisons and links to the Versioned Dispatch chapter. The chapter describes version-dependent genesis content and migrations for existing chains.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4c0c4

Correct the genesis-version threshold so future changes follow the right guidance. This is a documentation error, not a change to chain behavior.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: The indentation guidance adds Swift and Kotlin files to the 4-space rules; the existing Rust and Python guidance remains.
• observed — Modified behavior in book/src/contributing/coding-conventions.md: The guidance now names the protocol-version comparisons allowed in the new-generation context: the upgrade ladder, the is_allowed gate for new transition kinds, and genesis content in create_genesis_state v1. It also links to the Versioned Dispatch chapter.
• observed — Modified behavior in book/src/versioning/versioned-dispatch.md: Adds rules for protocol-version-dependent genesis content: generation 0 remains frozen; generation 1 is selected for chains born at protocol version 9 or later, and new content for version N belongs in create_genesis_state_v1 when the version is at least N. Existing chains receive the corresponding content through the transition_to_version_N migration rung; no new genesis generation is specified.
• observed — Modified behavior in .editorconfig: Adds a Swift and Kotlin file-matching section that sets indentation to four spaces.

✅ Final review complete — Phase 1 only — no blockers (commit cfbee48) · triage: trivial

[thepastaclaw]

Final review — Phase 1 only (trivial change)

The documentation and editor-settings changes introduce no runtime or consensus changes. The protocol-version-9 threshold for genesis generation 1 is correct, but the new enumeration of intentional protocol-version comparisons is narrower than the code it describes. The two supplied suggestions overlap and are consolidated into one documentation-accuracy finding.

In `book/src/contributing/coding-conventions.md`:
- [SUGGESTION] book/src/contributing/coding-conventions.md:87-91: Avoid presenting the documented protocol-version comparisons as an exhaustive list
  “The places that compare `protocol_version` on purpose” presents these three cases as exhaustive, while the corresponding genesis paragraph restricts the exception to `create_genesis_state_v1`. The fresh-chain initialization path also deliberately gates withdrawal trees in `Drive::add_initial_withdrawal_state_structure_operations` (`packages/rs-drive/src/drive/identity/withdrawals/paths.rs:43–63`) at versions 4 and 14. Every current Drive initialization generation reaches that helper, and the version-4/version-14 upgrade rungs create the corresponding trees for existing chains. This is directly relevant to the PR's goal of preventing false flags on genesis initialization.

  Other existing comparisons also need to remain intact, including the pre-version-9 wrapping-arithmetic branches in `DocumentPropertyType` and the activation check in `SystemContractCache`. Their existence does not establish a blanket exception for introducing new behavior into shipped generations. Make the enumeration explicitly non-exhaustive, describe the genesis exception as covering the relevant Drive initial-state helpers as well, and distinguish preserved historical comparisons from patterns recommended for new changes.

Re-review — Final review — Phase 1 only (trivial change)

Verified the supplied finding and prior reconciliation against exact head cfbee48. The new nitpick is contradicted by the implementation: both withdrawal trees gated at protocol version 4 are sum trees. The prior documentation issue is fixed, leaving no verified in-scope findings.
