Record policies for future package changes

Purpose

Staff describe proposed upgrade and downgrade treatment in policy sets that future change operations can use.

How It Works

An administrator creates a named policy set and adds its change cases. A case describes the source and target offering choices. Either side can be unspecified, or can select a type or package. Treatment settings describe timing, retained term value and possible application or approval needs. Saving the list replaces the earlier cases and their identities. The service retains these settings without processing upgrades or downgrades. It also does not verify the referenced offerings and fee products. A package can point to the set as preparation for later behavior. Staff must distinguish that preparation from an available member action. The product should define matching precedence and reference validation when change processing is designed.

Relationships

Packages select the policy set intended for their future changes.
Shared configuration safeguards govern the set’s identity, version and removal.

The Formal Contract

The narrative above explains; the sections below are authoritative — the rules, scenarios and tests this document binds.

Outcomes: Packages can reference a recognizable change policy set.Stored policies express treatment choices without implying an implemented change flow.

Business Rules

5 rules, 2 to be proved before approval. A rule's product intent is derived from its origin: 0 confirmed by a product decision, the rest inheriting this capability's proposed.

Id	Rule	Kind	Enforced at	Provenance
`01`must prove Proposed	A policy set accepts up to 200 policies, and a submitted list removes the earlier policies and allocates new identities for its replacements. no proof recorded yet	policy	service	observed services-membership:modules/configuration/services/configuration/configuration-records.ts:policySetResource
`02`must prove Proposed	Each policy side may name a type, a package or neither, but cannot name both a type and a package. no proof recorded yet	validation	database	observed services-membership:modules/configuration/db/change-policies.table.ts:changePolicies
`03` Proposed	Policies record permitted actors, application and approval choices, timing, term treatment, unused-value treatment, downgrade treatment and minimum fees.	policy	service	observed services-membership:modules/configuration/services/configuration/configuration-records.ts:policyContent
`04` Proposed	Policy type, package and fee-product references are stored without existence checks.	validation	service	observed services-membership:modules/configuration/services/configuration/configuration-records.ts:policyContent
`05` Proposed	Upgrade and downgrade processing is unavailable, and no operational consumer reads the stored policies.	policy	service	documented services-membership:docs/migrations/membership-core/README.md#Tables and migrations

Scenarios

Id	Given	When	Then	Provenance
`01`	The intended changes include an immediate upgrade and a renewal-time downgrade.	Staff save both cases in a policy set.	Reading the set returns the selected cases and default treatment values.	test services-membership:tests/acceptance/configuration/MBR-ACC-0106.acceptance.ts#MBR-ACC-0106: Change policy sets are kept exactly as written: every policy field round-trips with its defaults, the list is rewritten whole with new ids, two hundred policies fit and the two-hundred-and-first does not, a policy naming both a type and a package on one side is refused raw, and ids nobody checks are accepted

Edge Cases

Id	Given	When	Then	Provenance
`02`	A member requests an immediate change of offering.	The requested upgrade reaches the current product boundary.	The stored policy has no implemented processing consumer.	documented react-console:acceptance/membership/journeys/configuration/MBR-ACC-0107.json
