Jon Chery 59c330f012 docs(P02): research findings — L1 manifest schema + mock_apply uniformity
---ci---
phase: 2
milestone: v1.0
status: research
research:
  l1_schema:
    manifest_yaml: flat inputs map of string keys + descriptions (D-017)
    mock_apply_sh: uniform echo + sleep 1 + exit 0 (D-007, D-018)
    constraints: single-purpose, substrate-agnostic, max-depth-1, no composition
  l1_names: fixed per REQ-02 / D-019 (8 modules)
  personas: no change; infra-stub-engineer owns L1 territory this phase
---/ci---

ARCHITECTURE.md gains an L1 module schema section with a manifest.yaml
example, a mock_apply.sh template, and the 8-L1 table. PERSONAS.md is
unchanged for Phase 02 (infra-stub-engineer was already activated in
the project-level roster).

ACDL — Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform

A 30-minute executive demo proving that infrastructure can be delivered automatically, safely, and with a complete audit trail — without the usual weeks of manual tickets, reviews, and copy-pasted configuration.

The demo runs entirely on local stubs (no AWS/GCP/Azure, no external LLM APIs). It shows intent and safety behavior rather than provisioning real cloud resources.

Four acts

  1. Act 1 — The Friction: the old manual 2-week deployment process.
  2. Act 2 — Developer Self-Service: commit a valid contract.yaml for l2-commodity-price-feed, watch Dev auto-run, QA + Prod approval gates, then the evidence timeline.
  3. Act 3 — Citizen Developer: open a GitHub/Gitea Issue with natural- language intent; the Python keyword parser generates the same contract.yaml and triggers the identical pipeline.
  4. Act 4 — The Safety Net: commit a malicious contract.yaml (public-ingress: true) for l2-regulatory-reporting; the pipeline halts in Dev because the confidence signal drops below 0.50, and the rejection is visible on the evidence stream.

Repositories

All under the continuous-intelligence Gitea org at https://git.cloudinit.dev:

  • acdl (this repo) — platform + stubs + reusable workflows
  • acdl-contracts — developer surface (contract.yaml + issue trigger)
  • acdl-evidence — audit timeline (served via raw file URLs; Gitea has no native Pages — see .ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md Gitea API Surface table)

Project metadata

See .ciagent/PROJECT.md for the full spec, .ciagent/ROADMAP.md for the 5-phase breakdown, .ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md for traceable requirements, and .ciagent/PERSONAS.md for the active persona roster.

Phase 01 verification

After running scripts/gitea_setup.sh (which creates acdl-contracts and acdl-evidence in the org and pushes the placeholder index.html), run:

ACDL_GITEA_TOKEN=<token> scripts/verify_phase01.sh

The script confirms:

  • both new repos exist via the Gitea API
  • the raw index.html URL on acdl-evidence returns HTTP 200
  • the qa and prod branches exist on acdl-contracts

Exit 0 = Phase 01 success criteria met.
