Scope
Ketju lists an event here when it can change a Ketju memo, a position a client holds, something that position depends on, or the records an advisor should keep. Each entry names the stage the event has reached: reported, proposed, approved, executed, contained, recovered, or explained in a postmortem.
Corrections
Ketju never edits a published version. A recovery, a postmortem, a corrected loss figure, or a changed reading becomes a new version at the same address, and every earlier version stays in the JSON file.
