# Change Impact
## Purpose
Invalidate only affected downstream work, preserve unaffected valid work, and trigger a new Minimum Necessary Path.
## Trigger
Run after any relevant upstream revision, disproven assumption, changed decision, Contract/schema/API change, dependency upgrade, or code modification to a stable Component.
## Inputs
- Changed item and old/new revisions, reason, effective decision, and changed semantics.
- Artifact dependency graph, traceability links, Component Graph, Contracts, and current State.
- Existing validation/Gate evidence, target, Workflow Level, and current Minimum Necessary Path.
## Prerequisites
- Identify the exact changed revision and avoid treating formatting-only edits as semantic changes without evidence.
- Preserve prior evidence as history.
## Procedure
1. Compare old and new revisions and describe semantic, interface, behavior, data, constraint, or evidence changes.
2. Locate direct downstream consumers through dependencies, Contracts, traceability, and code/test references.
3. Traverse transitively only while the changed semantics can affect the consumer.
4. For each affected Artifact, record the reason and mark `STALE` unless evidence already proves invalidity.
5. For affected `STABLE` Components, mark `UNVERIFIED`; set `FAILED` only when current evidence demonstrates failure.
6. Invalidate revision-specific test, review, integration, and Gate evidence as needed.
7. Identify unaffected scope and record why its evidence rem
