Jon Chery 031887ec56 refactor(P57): contract surface redesign + rename + .yml repo-wide
Contract surface redesign:
- New top-level fields: id (3-6 char acronym → stack.name), name (full → stack.title),
  infrastructure (map keyed by module name, replaces module:)
- Drop uses: field (dead reference; version pin lives in CI workflow uses: line)
- Drop top-level module/inputs (now nested under infrastructure map)
- Per-module optional version (defaults to latest published from registry)
- Multi-module contracts: one file deploys N modules in one pipeline run,
  resource IDs namespaced with module name to avoid collisions
- stack.schema.json: add optional title field for display name

Rename:
- pipelines/deploy.yaml → pipelines/contract.yml (declarative spec, not a pipeline)
- pipelines/ci.yaml → pipelines/ci.yml
- All 44 .yaml files → .yml repo-wide (contracts, module examples, kyverno policies)
- .acdl/contract.yaml → .acdl/contract.yml

Resolver (core/contract_resolver.py):
- Rewrite resolve() to loop infrastructure map, default version to latest,
  merge module fragments into one stack with namespaced resource IDs
- _latest_version() picks highest non-deprecated from registry
- _namespace_resources() prefixes IDs + rewrites ref: expressions for multi-module
- Single-module path: unprefixed IDs (backward compatible)

Verification:
- 494 tests pass (0 contract-shape failures)
- Local E2E passes (contract → resolver → adapter → local ECS HTTP 200 → outbox)

# Kyverno Adapter
The Kyverno adapter translates Kyverno `PolicyReport` results to the
normalized ACDL
[`PolicyCheckResult`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json) schema
(engine: `"kyverno"`), mirroring the Checkov/Wiz adapter pattern.
## What Kyverno is
[Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/) is a Kubernetes-native policy engine. It
runs as an admission controller inside a cluster, validates / mutates /
generates K8s resources against declarative `ClusterPolicy` rules, and
publishes results to `PolicyReport` resources.
## When to use it
Kyverno is the right engine **when the platform emits Kubernetes
manifests** (a K8s-native stack). The ACDL platform today emits Terraform
only (D-053), so this adapter is **ready but inactive**: it ships now so
the schema path, severity/result mapping and sample policies are in place
ahead of the GitOps reconciler that will emit K8s manifests (roadmap).
## How the adapter translates PolicyReport results
`kyverno_adapter.py <policyreport.json> <contract-id>` reads a JSON file
containing a Kyverno `PolicyReport` (or just its `.results[]` array) and
emits a list of `PolicyCheckResult` dicts:
| Kyverno PolicyReport result field | PolicyCheckResult field |
|-----------------------------------|-------------------------|
| `policy` | `ruleId` (default `KYVERNO_UNKNOWN`) |
| `severity` | `severity` (lower-cased, mapped) |
| `result` | `result` (`pass`/`fail`/`error` as-is, `warn`/`skip``skipped`) |
| `message` | `message` |
| `resource` | `resourceRef` + `evidence.resource` |
| `namespace`, `kind`, `name` | `evidence.*` |
The adapter is read-only against a local JSON fixture; the GitOps
reconciler is responsible for fetching the live `PolicyReport` and writing
the file. When there are zero results, the adapter returns an empty list
(unlike Wiz it does not synthesize a SKIPPED record — Kyverno not running
is a deployment state, not a configuration gap).
## Roadmap dependency
This adapter activates when the GitOps reconciler (roadmap) emits K8s
manifests. Until then it is documentation-only; the pipeline does not
invoke it. The `engine: "kyverno"` enum value is present in
`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` so future records validate.
## Sample policies
The `policies/` directory holds three valid Kyverno `ClusterPolicy`
manifests (documentation-only today — the platform does not run them):
- `disallow-privileged-containers.yml` — fail pods with
`securityContext.privileged: true`.
- `require-resource-labels.yml` — require `acdl:owner` and
`acdl:environment` labels on all pods (mirrors the ACDL tagging standard
in [`schemas/tagging-standard.json`](../../schemas/tagging-standard.json)).
- `require-image-digests.yml` — require container images to reference a
digest (`image@sha256:...`), not a mutable tag.
## Schema path
The output records validate against
[`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json)
(`engine: "kyverno"` was already in the enum and is retained in Phase 23).
