What do these labels mean?
Generated
A fixture the model produced from scratch through all its stages.
Variant
A fixture generated alongside another in the same release, differing in one declared setting (for example the calendar or a preference strength).
Operator edit
A fixture made by locking one or more fields of a game with a stated reason and having the model rebuild the fixture around the locks. It has a parent and a recorded diff.
As played
A real season (2025) loaded into the model so it can be compared with and edited. Not generated; its facts are the AFL's.
Regenerated after rule changes
A fresh solve after rules were added or corrected. The parent is the previous release's headline version; differences come from the rule changes, not from an edit.
Variant of
Generated alongside the parent in the same release, differing in one declared setting.
Edited from
Made from the parent by an operator's locks, with the fixture rebuilt around them.
Based on the season as played
The model's own replay of a real season, used as the base for a demonstration edit.

A versionOne published fixture, frozen the moment it is published and carrying a unique fingerprint. is kept exactly as it was published, never overwritten. Every 2027 draft still rests on some assumptions (for example, Saturday pay-TV windows carried forward from 2025), and each version's page says which. Only "Breaks a rule" means a checked rule was not met. Each card's "Details" gives the catalogue label and the short id that names the version on its evidence page.
