fix(P60): WAF scope case + VPC modify DependencyViolation
Two module defects found in the prior live matrix run (3000, SHA
a55752e2) that hadn't been fixed:

1. WAF: `scope: cloudfront` in complex example failed with "expected
   scope to be one of [CLOUDFRONT REGIONAL], got cloudfront". AWS
   requires uppercase. Added `scope = upper(var.scope)` in locals.tf
   so the module is resilient to either casing, and fixed the complex
   example to use CLOUDFRONT.

2. VPC: simple→complex modify tried to replace the VPC (CIDR changed
   10.0.0.0/16 → 10.50.0.0/16, which is ForceNew) while subnets/IGW/
   route tables still referenced it → DependencyViolation. Fixed the
   complex example to use the same CIDR (10.0.0.0/16) so terraform
   modifies in-place (adds a 3rd AZ subnet, updates tags). Also added
   create_before_destroy lifecycle on the VPC as a defensive measure.

Regression: 479 passed, 5 deselected. 24 example contracts resolve.

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.
