Source documents

SUPERINTENDENT Source documents are the authority in RAPAX PMS. If a doc says X, the field reads X. Manual edits that disagree with a current doc are tracked as overrides, not as authority.

How to upload

Use the Class & Flag Documents wizard at Vessel → Class & Flag Documents:

1. Pick the register section (Base named A/B/D, or Helpful)
2. Pick the named slot for the document
3. Upload — one slot at a time, no bulk upload
4. AI extracts field values; you review the extraction
5. Approve

Six mandatory blockers

Before a CL Build can run, these 6 docs must be present:

Doc	Wizard slot
Ship's Particulars	particulars
Capacity Plan	capacity_plan
GA Plan	ga_plan
Form E / Form SER	form_ser
GMDSS Radio Installation Record	gmdss_record
ECDIS Certificate	ecdis_certificate

Vessel CL + Loading Manual are helpful, not blocking.

Re-uploading (supersede)

If a new version of an existing doc arrives:

1. Upload to the same wizard slot
2. The system archives the prior doc (writes source_documents_archive row with superseded_by_source_document_id) BEFORE the live UPDATE — atomic
3. Receipt response includes action: 'replaced' and superseded_source_document_id
4. The supersede event posts an ai-status messenger thread (Sofia 23-08 quiet-hours guard applies)

Anti-misuse

Every upload runs through the Workers AI filename classifier and a magic-byte sniff. If you rename cert.jpeg to cert.pdf to bypass the upload restriction, the magic-byte sniff catches it and rejects the file.
