Hi Manu, Thanks, and yes, the design doc is still the plan.
What’s landing now, type fixtures with JSON Schema validation, golden reference tables, and read conformance, is just the first slice. We wanted to start with something small enough to land and use, then iterate on the repo layout, fixture format, and contribution flow before adding more surfaces. Writer conformance and the rest of the scope from the doc are still planned. This isn’t a change in direction, just the first phase. Good call on the epic issue. I opened one here: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-verification/issues/10 It links the design doc and tracks the current read-conformance work plus the follow-ups.
