@@ -2300,6 +2320,15 @@ Constraints are added in v4:
 * Snapshots may contain `constraint-statuses`
 * Upgrading a v2 or v3 table to v4 rewrites the table's `identifier-field-ids` 
as a `primary-key` constraint that is not enforced, unless a field cannot be 
used in a `primary-key` constraint
 
+Row lineage changes:
+
+* When writing a manifest, ADDED entries and entries MODIFIED by column files 
must be written with a null `snapshot_timestamp`
+* When an entry has a null `snapshot_timestamp`, readers must assign it the 
snapshot's `timestamp-ms` converted to microseconds in the root manifest, or 
the leaf manifest's `snapshot_timestamp` in a leaf manifest

Review Comment:
   This is too low-level. This section doesn't need to restate the spec, it 
only needs to note that `snapshot_timestamp` and `_last_updated_time` were 
added.
