| v2 | 2026-09-28 | The footnote on the term 'anti-pattern' was split: Andrew Koenig's 'Patterns and Antipatterns' (Journal of Object-Oriented Programming, 1995), where he coined the term, now has its own footnote, and the Big Ball of Mud sentence cites both it and the AntiPatterns book (1998). | prose — body (prose edited) |

Editions are cut at publish time from a content hash of the entity's canonical source, so a version changes only when the content actually changed. Full canonical content for every edition, and the exact per-part diffs between them, are in the downloadable editions archive (editions_archive.jsonl); the current-state index is versions.jsonl.
