# Packer Specs
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the normative packer specification set.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Specs define the official packer contract.
|
|
|
|
They exist to make behavior, constraints, interfaces, and artifact guarantees stable across implementation and review.
|
|
|
|
The packer normative content is maintained directly in this `specs/` corpus.
|
|
|
|
## Expected Format
|
|
|
|
The exact structure may vary by document, but a packer spec should usually contain:
|
|
|
|
1. Title
|
|
2. Status
|
|
3. Scope or Applies To
|
|
4. Purpose
|
|
5. Authority and Precedence
|
|
6. Normative Inputs
|
|
7. Core Rules
|
|
8. Non-Goals
|
|
9. Exit Criteria
|
|
|
|
Some specs may also include:
|
|
|
|
- artifact schemas,
|
|
- invariants,
|
|
- diagnostic contracts,
|
|
- examples,
|
|
- migration notes,
|
|
- explicit TODO sections for tracked unresolved items.
|
|
|
|
## Writing Rules
|
|
|
|
- Write in normative language.
|
|
- Integrate only decisions that have already been closed.
|
|
- Keep debate history and option analysis out of the spec body.
|
|
- Preserve clear boundaries between adjacent packer specs.
|
|
- Use TODO only for explicitly tracked unresolved items, not as a substitute for agenda work.
|
|
|
|
## Upstream Rule
|
|
|
|
Specs should normally be fed by:
|
|
|
|
1. agendas that frame the open topic,
|
|
2. decisions that close the architectural question,
|
|
3. pull-request plans that define propagation,
|
|
4. then spec integration.
|
|
|
|
If a spec edit would require guessing an unresolved design choice, stop and surface the missing decision first.
|
|
|
|
## Current Corpus
|
|
|
|
The current packer core corpus is:
|
|
|
|
1. [`1. Domain and Artifact Boundary Specification.md`](1.%20Domain%20and%20Artifact%20Boundary%20Specification.md)
|
|
2. [`2. Workspace, Registry, and Asset Identity Specification.md`](2.%20Workspace,%20Registry,%20and%20Asset%20Identity%20Specification.md)
|
|
3. [`3. Asset Declaration and Virtual Asset Contract Specification.md`](3.%20Asset%20Declaration%20and%20Virtual%20Asset%20Contract%20Specification.md)
|
|
4. [`4. Build Artifacts and Deterministic Packing Specification.md`](4.%20Build%20Artifacts%20and%20Deterministic%20Packing%20Specification.md)
|
|
5. [`5. Diagnostics, Operations, and Studio Integration Specification.md`](5.%20Diagnostics,%20Operations,%20and%20Studio%20Integration%20Specification.md)
|
|
6. [`6. Versioning, Migration, and Trust Model Specification.md`](6.%20Versioning,%20Migration,%20and%20Trust%20Model%20Specification.md)
|
|
|
|
## Reading Order
|
|
|
|
Recommended order:
|
|
|
|
1. domain and artifact boundary;
|
|
2. workspace and identity;
|
|
3. asset declaration;
|
|
4. build artifacts;
|
|
5. diagnostics and Studio operation model;
|
|
6. versioning and trust.
