 # Changelog
 
+## 0.25.0 - 2026-10-13
+
+Identifier equality by normal form (contract DEC-0076) in both kits, and the contract pin moves from `fe55fc6` to
+contract `main` `a046f57` (FAA-39). `fe55fc6` joins the supported revisions. DEC-0077 (`com.directory` pages) is in the
+pin. Its consumer is the kits' board client, which is not built yet (FAA-12b), so nothing reads it.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`normal_identifier` / `normalIdentifier` and `same_identifier` / `sameIdentifier`** (`fabric_identifiers.py`,
+  byte-identical in both skills, and `fabric-identifiers.mjs`). They port the contract's `src/identifiers.ts` and are
+  held to its `identifiers.json` (33 normal forms, 8 same, 8 different, 6 lax-port mistakes).
+  - A URI follows RFC 3986 §6.2.2.
+  - A `urn:` follows RFC 8141 §3.1 (the NSS's case is kept and nothing is decoded).
+  - Any other string is its own normal form.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Compared by normal form:**
+  - FAC-SEM-030, FAC-SEM-032 and FAC-SEM-034 compare a revision reference's id and the project and capability of
+    admissions, bindings and events;
+  - FAC-SEM-076 compares share grants and `grant` revocations;
+  - FAC-SEM-014 compares a provider entry's `providerId`.
+
+  Two spellings of one identifier now read as one, and two identifiers stay two.
+- **Written in normal form:** the scaffolded `provider.id`, `identity.subject` and capability `id`, and the `providerId`
+  that `write_provider_entry` stores.
+
+### Evidence
+
+- The route and estate generators now add respelled-id cases (`urn` and the NID upper-cased, and the NSS's case
+  changed), each answered by the contract's own functions. The contract's fixtures are in normal form, so without these
+  cases the kits' byte comparisons stayed green.
+- The compiled-schema revision tests pass at `2ce3922` → `a046f57`.
+- 20 planted defects, all caught.
+- The scenario eval `identifiers-by-normal-form` was written before the prose.
+

+Two identifiers are the same when their normal forms are equal. `normal_identifier` / `normalIdentifier` and
+`same_identifier` / `sameIdentifier` (`fabric_identifiers.py`, `fabric-identifiers.mjs`, ports of the contract's
+`src/identifiers.ts`, held to its `identifiers.json`) apply RFC 3986 §6.2.2 to a URI: scheme and host lower-cased,
+percent-encoding hex upper-cased, unreserved characters decoded, dot segments removed. A `urn:` follows RFC 8141 §3.1
+instead: `urn` and the NID lower-cased, nothing decoded, the NSS's case kept. Any other string is its own normal form,
+and a value that is not a string is compared as it is. The kits compare by it in FAC-SEM-030/032/034 (routes, bindings,
+events), FAC-SEM-076 (estate grants and their revocations) and FAC-SEM-014 (a provider entry's `providerId`), and they
+write the identifiers they scaffold in normal form.

+"""Identifier equality (contract DEC-0076): two identifiers are the same when their normal forms are equal.
+
+A port of the contract's `src/identifiers.ts`, held to its `fixtures/vectors/identifiers.json`. The normal form of a URI
+is RFC 3986 §6.2.2 syntax-based normalization: the scheme and the host lower-cased and percent-encoding hex upper-cased
+(§6.2.2.1), percent-encoded unreserved characters decoded (§6.2.2.2), dot segments removed from a hierarchical path
+(§6.2.2.3), and only the leading ones from a rootless path; nothing scheme-based (§6.2.3). A `urn:` URI follows RFC 8141
+§3.1 instead: the scheme and the NID lower-cased, percent-encoding hex upper-cased, nothing decoded, the NSS's case kept,
+the r-, q- and f-components ignored. A string that is not a URI by RFC 3986's `URI` production is its own normal form.
+Nothing here raises. Standard library only; this file is byte-identical in both skills' `scripts/`."""
