Can a generated environment include policy changes and cases already in progress?

**Can the environment contain more than one policy version?**

Yes. A scoped release can include generated policy versions, effective dates and explicit applicability rules. The important requirement is clarity about which version governs each decision, rather than simply adding several documents to retrieval.

**What happens to a case opened under an earlier version?**

The generated policy can specify whether existing cases retain their original requirements or adopt new ones at a defined transition. A referral created before a change may need different evidence from a referral submitted afterwards. That rule should be encoded in case metadata and supported by the policy text.

**What records would a builder ask for?**

Request policy identifiers, supersession links, applicability conditions and cases positioned on both sides of the change. Include a case where the currently displayed policy is not the governing version, so retrieval recency alone cannot determine the answer.

**What is the limit?**

Generated policy content defines the simulated organisation's behaviour. It should not be treated as current legal guidance. MirrorFirm could generate internally consistent policy transitions, while the buyer supplies or approves any jurisdiction-specific requirements needed for the intended environment.
