# Accepted Chunk Map
This document defines the optional durable `chunk-map.json` artifact in a
[published JSON bundle](json-output.md). It describes the accepted,
materialized chunk plan used by one run. It is not a lane payload and is never
an input to a later pipeline step.
## Contract Identity
| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Artifact kind | `source/chunk-map` |
| Logical file | `chunk-map.json` |
| Media type | `application/json` |
| Schema ID | `notarius.source.chunk_map` |
| Schema name | `notarius_source_chunk_map_v1` |
| Schema version | `v1` |
The optional `chunk_map` descriptor in `index.json` identifies this artifact.
Export is controlled by the JSON output binding described in
[Configuration](../config.md#module-bindings-and-validators).
## Wire Shape
Every payload has these required fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `source_id` | Accepted source-document identity. |
| `source_digest` | Lower-case `sha256:` digest of that source document. |
| `plan_digest` | Lower-case `sha256:` digest of the logical chunk plan. |
| `requested_chunker` | Chunk module selected by the resolved pipeline. |
| `producer` | Original accepted-plan producer. `input_module` and `chunk_module` are required; `llm_profile` is optional. |
| `plan_annotations` | Plan-level annotation namespace map; `{}` when none are present. |
| `chunks` | Non-empty execution-order chunk collection. |
Each `chunks` entry contains non-empty `id`, zero-based `index`, `source_ref`,
positive `unit_count`, and an explicit `annotations` map. `source_ref` contains
the same `source_id` as the top-level value plus positive inclusive
`start_unit_id` and `end_unit_id` values. Endpoints identify source units; their
numeric values do not by themselves establish source-document order.
Annotation namespaces are non-empty trimmed strings. Their values are arbitrary
valid JSON and are retained without interpreting a module-specific namespace.
## Ordering And Validation
`chunks` are in execution order. Their indexes are contiguous, start at zero,
and equal their array positions; chunk IDs are unique. The emitted map is built
only after the selected plan has been accepted and materialized against the
source document, so its ranges, unit counts, annotations, and digests describe
that exact plan.
The codec rejects malformed JSON, trailing content, unknown fixed-object
fields, invalid identities or digests, invalid annotations, duplicate chunk
IDs, non-contiguous indexes, and a `plan_digest` that does not match the
reconstructed logical plan. The checked-in
[schema](../../internal/framework/chunkmap/assets/schemas/source_chunk_map.v1.json)
defines the strict JSON shape.
## Valid Example
The compact
[source chunk-map fixture](../../internal/framework/chunkmap/testdata/source_chunk_map.v1.json)
is decoded by the production codec and demonstrates an accepted map with
annotations, producer identity, and ordered chunks.
## Publication And Compatibility
The map is present only when a chunk plan was accepted and its export is
enabled. It remains publishable if a later lane is rejected, but is absent when
chunk-plan validation rejects the plan. `requested_chunker` identifies the
current pipeline selection, while `producer` identifies the component that
originally produced the accepted plan; they may differ when an accepted plan is
reused.
The map contains structure rather than source content: it excludes transcript
bytes, source-unit metadata, chunk text, private model output, reference
content, debug data, and filesystem paths. Treat the exported map with the
same care as other published output. Publication location and retention are
defined in [Operations](../operations.md#output-bundles).
