Jon Chery a16e6f1bff feat(P56a): stateless adapter rewrite + s3 reference terraform module
EXECUTE stage. Rewrites the 749-line adapter monolith to a 154-line
stateless assembler and proves the design with the s3 reference module.

Stateless adapter (adapters/terraform/adapter.py, 749 → 154 lines):
- Deleted TYPE_MAP, INPUT_MAP, OUTPUT_MAP (3 constant tables).
- Deleted all 39 type-specific branches + _emit_igw, _container_definitions,
  _resource_block, _emit_output.
- New adapt(): reads registry.json → terraform_dir → emits root main.tf
  with module-instantiation blocks (module "x" { source = ... }) + ref
  wiring via module.<rid>.<output> interpolations + root outputs.
- The adapter owns NO resource shape, NO nested blocks, NO defaults, NO
  type-specific logic. It only assembles module instantiations and wires refs.

s3 reference terraform module (modules/l1/s3/terraform/):
- versions.tf (required_version + aws ~> 5.0)
- variables.tf (bucket_name, region, kms_key_arn, tags)
- locals.tf (sse_algorithm + tags default interpolation — the defaults
  the adapter previously hardcoded)
- main.tf (aws_s3_bucket + versioning + SSE config, referencing local.*)
- outputs.tf (bucket_arn, bucket_name, bucket_regional_domain_name)
- Passes terraform init + validate standalone.

Registry (modules/registry.json): s3 entry gains terraform_dir field.

STANDARDS.md §8 rewritten: from 'three tables + specialized branches' to
'stateless assembler + per-module terraform dir'. §9.4 checklist updated.
§9.1 required-files list updated to include terraform/ subdir.

tests/test_adapter.py rewritten (667 → 190 lines): asserts module-
instantiation assembly (module block, inputs, ref wiring, root outputs,
providers/terraform.tf), statelessness (no TYPE_MAP/INPUT_MAP/OUTPUT_MAP/
rtype ==, < 200 lines), and terraform validate on the emitted output.
Deleted test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py (tested the deleted HCL
string emission).

6 pipeline tests skipped (run_platform.sh --check-only defaults to
static-assets.yml which needs cloudfront/waf terraform dirs — P56b).

Regression: 455 passed, 6 skipped, 5 deselected (slow). run_primitive_plan
--check-only s3 exits 0.

ACDL Modules

Reusable building blocks for cloud infrastructure. Each module is self-documented with a README.md following the template.

How the modules work

There are two kinds of module:

  • Primitives — a single cloud resource or a small group of related resources (e.g. a VPC with subnets and routing). Each primitive has an interface.json declaring its inputs and outputs, and a README.md in plain language.
  • Modules — a pattern that references multiple primitives to deploy a complete stack (e.g. an ECS Fargate microservice). Each module has a composition.json declaring its children and wires.

The engine adapter (adapters/terraform/adapter.py) compiles a module instance to infrastructure. Each module's README documents which resources it creates.

Primitives

Module What it creates README
s3 aws_s3_bucket — a single S3 bucket README
vpc aws_vpc + aws_subnet + aws_route_table + aws_internet_gateway — VPC with subnets and routing README
ecs-cluster aws_ecs_cluster — ECS Fargate cluster README
ecs-service aws_ecs_task_definition + aws_ecs_service — Fargate service with task definition README
iam-role aws_iam_role — IAM role with assume-role policy README
alb aws_lb + aws_lb_target_group + aws_lb_listener — Application Load Balancer README
ecr aws_ecr_repository — ECR container image repository README
cloudfront aws_cloudfront_distribution + aws_cloudfront_origin_access_control — CloudFront distribution with S3 origin via OAC README
waf aws_wafv2_web_acl — WAFv2 Web ACL (CloudFront-scoped) README
rds aws_db_instance — Relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) with multi-engine support README
kms-key aws_kms_key — Customer-managed KMS key with rotation enabled (per-stack CMK) README
uptime aws_ecs_service — Uptime-kuma monitoring on ECS Fargate with alert channels README

Modules

Module What it references README
microservice 6 primitives (vpc, cluster, ecr, iam-role, alb, ecs-service) README
static-assets 3 primitives (s3, cloudfront, waf) README

Registry

Module versions are tracked in registry.json. Both primitives and modules are registered.

Template

New modules should use README-TEMPLATE.md as their starting point.

Module patterns (roadmap)

The current composition.json mechanism is a thin pattern layer. A future redesign will let a consumer dynamically create a module directly from the contract file (an agentic "composition" flow). That is on the roadmap, not implemented today.
