The rule list
The rule list is the base profile's, entire, with exactly one severity changed. Nothing is added, nothing is removed, and no rule's meaning, code number or title changes — ADR-0003 makes codes and titles stable, and a profile that redefined one would be a fork wearing a profile's name.
The delta, in full
| Code | Title | Base vera-profile/1.1-draft | vera-profile-high-trust/1.1-draft |
|---|---|---|---|
VER1606 | lineage-parent-content-hash-absent | warning | error |
That table is the whole difference. Any future promotion is a new revision of this profile with its own identifier, never an edit to this one in place.
Every rule, by stage
(W) marks warning severity under this profile; everything else is an error. The single promoted code is marked (→E).

VER104 is absent by design, not by omission. The base 1.1-draft profile suppresses record-size-policy for schema_version == "1.1-draft" runs: draft §7's three-quantity model is owned there by VER105 and VER106, and firing both rule sets over one record would report the same measurement twice under two severities. VER104 is not retired: it keeps its number, its title and its 1.0.x behaviour unchanged, and is simply not one of this profile's rules, because this profile validates 1.1-draft Records.
Counts. The registry holds 83 codes as of this draft. VER104 is not evaluated under 1.1-draft, leaving 82 evaluated rules: 67 errors and 15 warnings in the base profile, and 68 errors and 14 warnings here. The packages/ver-validator/README.md registry table is the normative enumeration; where this document and that table disagree, that table is right and this one has drifted.
