Contract lifecycle

A contract should have a life, not just a filename.

Create a living UDR.

Record revisions and changed blocks.

Record the approval evidence available.

Bind signing evidence to an exact state.

Seal a UDS; do not overwrite it.

Connect workflow without pretending the document replaces CLM.

Create a new UDR derived from the UDS.

Preserve both records and their relationship.

Verify the retained final state later.

UDR while changing. UDS when final. New UDR for amendment.
