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)

alb — Application Load Balancer (load balancer + target group + listener)

Module kind: primitive | Version: 1.0.0

An Application Load Balancer with a target group and a listener. This is a multi-resource module: it creates a load balancer, a target group, and a listener that forwards traffic to the target group. The target group is what ecs-service registers its tasks with.

Resources

Resource Type Purpose
load_balancer aws_lb Application load balancer in the VPC subnets
target_group aws_lb_target_group Target group for the ECS service tasks
listener aws_lb_listener Listener forwarding the LB port to the target group

Inputs

Name Type Required Default Description
name string yes Name tag for the load balancer and child resources
subnets string yes Comma-separated subnet ids (from vpc)
security_group string yes Security group id for the load balancer
port number no 80 Listener port
protocol string no HTTP Listener protocol
region string yes AWS region the load balancer is created in

Outputs

Name Type Description
lb_arn arn The load balancer ARN
listener_arn arn The listener ARN
target_group_arn arn The target group ARN

Usage

{
  "id": "alb",
  "type": "aws:elbv2:loadbalancer",
  "module": "alb@1.0.0",
  "inputs": {
    "name": "acdl-microservice",
    "subnets": "ref:vpc.subnet_ids",
    "security_group": "ref:roles.role_arn",
    "port": 8080,
    "protocol": "HTTP",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}

The target_group_arn output is referenced by ecs-service as its lb_target_group_arn input to wire the service to the ALB.

Compliance extension points

  • TLS / HTTPS listener — add aws_acm_certificate + ssl_policy + certificate_arn for encryption in transit (SOC2 CC6.1, PCI-DSS 4.1, GDPR Art.32).
  • Access logs — add access_logs { bucket = ..., prefix = ... } to the load balancer (SOX, SOC2 CC7.2, DORA ICT audit trail).
  • Security group rules — add ingress/egress rules restricting traffic to known sources (SOC2 CC6.6, PCI-DSS 1.2).
  • Health check — add a health_check block to the target group (SOC2 CC7.3 monitoring, DORA operational resilience).
  • WAF — add aws_wafv2_web_acl_association for application-layer protection (SOC2 CC7.6, PCI-DSS 6.5, DORA ICT risk).
  • Deregistration delay — add deregistration_delay for graceful draining (SOC2 CC9.1 resilience).

Examples

Validated example contracts are in examples/. The platform-test pipeline validates them against schemas/contract.schema.json.

Simple

A minimal deployment:

examples/simple.yml

environment: dev
id: alb
infrastructure:
  alb:
    inputs:
      name: my-alb
      port: 80
      protocol: HTTP
      region: us-east-1
      security_group: sg-xxx
      subnets: subnet-aaa,subnet-bbb
    version: 1.0.0
name: alb-loadbalancer

Complex

A production deployment with optional inputs:

examples/complex.yml

environment: dev
id: alb
infrastructure:
  alb:
    inputs:
      name: my-production-alb
      port: 443
      protocol: HTTPS
      region: us-east-1
      security_group: sg-xxx
      subnets: subnet-aaa,subnet-bbb
    version: 1.0.0
name: alb-loadbalancer

Versioning

1.0.0 — interface MAJOR, behavior MINOR, lifecycle PATCH. MAJOR bumps require a new registry entry (immutable publication); old entries enter a 12-month deprecation window.
