fix(ci): separate short-lived CI VPC + fix 8 module lifecycle failures
Two architectural changes:
1. Created terraform/ci-vpc/ — a short-lived VPC for L1 module lifecycle
   testing, separate from the long-lived platform VPC. Created before
   VPC-dependent modules (alb, ecs-service, rds, uptime) are tested,
   destroyed after. Outputs (vpc_id, subnet_ids, sg_id, cluster_arn) are
   passed to those modules via scripts/run_lifecycle_test.sh +
   run_lifecycle_destroy.sh wrappers that inject the CI VPC outputs into
   the example contracts.
2. Updated the workflow to use ci-vpc-apply → lifecycle (with artifact
   passing) → ci-vpc-destroy (always runs).

8 module-specific fixes:
- s3: unique bucket names (acdl-ci-s3a-simple/complex) instead of
  globally-taken 'my-simple-bucket'
- kms-key: alias name with no spaces (locals.tf → alias/acdl-ci-kms)
- iam-role: example contract uses role_name (not name, which the interface
  doesn't declare)
- ecs-service: example contract uses family (not name); VPC inputs
  (cluster_arn, subnets, security_group) injected by CI VPC wrapper
- uptime: added subnets, security_group, cluster_arn to interface + module;
  network_configuration is dynamic (only when subnets provided)
- rds: added subnet_ids input + db_subnet_group resource (conditional
  on subnet_ids being non-empty)
- alb: removed hardcoded placeholder sg/subnet values from examples;
  vpc_id + subnets + security_group injected by CI VPC wrapper
- cloudfront: removed invalid placeholder WAF ARN from complex example

Regression: 479 passed, 0 skipped, 5 deselected. All 24 example contracts
pass --check-only.

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.
