ICH E3 as data

E3 has been unrevised since 1995 and no machine-readable model of it existed publicly; ICH M11 did this for protocols in November 2025. sections.yaml encodes the 119-entry skeleton — number, title, slug and content model. assembly.yaml says what this report puts in it. Display numbers appear in neither: the assembler derives 14.x positions from assembly order, so reordering the report is a one-line diff and a display's identity never changes (design D6).

Section 16.1.9 is generated, not written: package versions, ARD hashes, data manifests and session info are emitted mechanically. E3 reserved that slot in 1995 and open.csr fills it from the build.

Assigned numbering

Derived from assembly.yaml post_text order at build time. The slug is what the specs, the ARDs and the bindings all refer to — reorder the report and every number here moves while no spec, ARD or sentence changes at all.

The E3 skeleton

All 119 modelled sections, and what this report puts in each. Sections marked not in this demo still assemble, as headings that say so — the skeleton stays visible rather than being trimmed to what happens to be built.
