Hey, I know what you're thinking: what the heck is a CEP?

It stands for Cob Enhancement Proposal. You can find the official repository and tracking details on the CEP Site.

To answer your question, here is the complete end-to-end workflow on how to create, submit, and track a proposal through to final approval.

Step 1: Write Using the Standard Format

Create a copy of this core template and completely fill in each section before proceeding to the submission phase.

CEP: [Proposal Number]

Title: [Short, Descriptive Title]

Author: [Your Name / Contact Info]

Status: FINAL

Created: [DD-MM-YYYY]

1. Abstract

A short, high-level summary (2-3 sentences) of the change or feature you are proposing.

2. Motivation

Why is this change necessary? What problem does it solve, and who does it benefit?

3. Specification

The technical details of the proposal. Break down exactly how this will be implemented, including any architectural changes, design choices, or new workflows.

4. Rationale

Why did you choose this specific approach over alternative solutions? Discuss the trade-offs you considered.

5. Backward Compatibility

Will this change break existing systems, workflows, or data? If yes, how do you plan to handle the migration?

Step 2: Share and Gather Peer Feedback

Before making a formal submission, you must circulate your completed draft with the community and team.

* Share your working draft to the designated feedback channel or mailing list.

* Allow a baseline timeline (typically 5-7 days) for community members and project stakeholders to point out edge cases or request clarifications.

* Refine your draft dynamically based on the received input.

Step 3: Formal Submission

Once the draft has stabilized and has initial support, upload it to the main project repository.

* Submit a formal Pull Request (PR) or upload the document to the CEP Site database.

* Mark the front-matter status from "Draft" to "Proposed".

* Assign the next sequential CEP number if one hasn't been reserved for you by an administrator.

Step 4: Review and Evaluation

Your proposal will enter a formal evaluation phase by the project leadership team.

* The review panel will assess the technical feasibility, alignment with project roadmaps, and architectural impacts.

* If gaps are found, the status will shift to "Deferred" or "Amended", and the panel will leave detailed feedback directly on your submission for you to fix.

Step 5: Final Disposition and Approval

Following a successful evaluation period, the board will finalize the status of the CEP.

* Approved: The status is updated to "Accepted" or "Final". The changes are approved for scheduling, core development, and implementation.

* Denied: The status is updated to "Rejected". If a proposal is rejected, the CSF will send a formal follow-up email from CSF@pixel-pulse.work.gd to the author explaining the specific reasons why it was denied.
