Jon Chery 553caf8f1d docs(P21): rewrite README + normalize modules terminology (REQ-52,55,56,57,58,59,60)
---ci---
project: acdl
phase: 21
milestone: v1.6
status: execute
---/ci---

README.md rewrite:
- Remove all .ciagent/ references (links + repository-layout row).
- Remove .gitea/workflows/ row from repository layout.
- Restate repository roles: consumer repo = app code + 1+ contracts +
  CI definitions (thin .github/workflows/*.yml uses:-ing the central
  workflow); platform repo owns modules/adapters/core/schemas/pipelines/
  scripts/workflows.
- Replace Status section with Features list (consumer + platform-engineer
  referenceable) + Roadmap (planned only, no version changelog, no
  internal CIAgent status). Includes the composition-redesign roadmap
  entry (dynamic module creation from a contract).
- Fix the mermaid flowchart: all node text visible (short multi-line
  labels via <br/>), add a security-checks stage before policy checks,
  do not name specific tools (security checks/policy checks/infrastructure
  plan via adapter), add infrastructure-apply stage (dev only, after
  evidence event).
- Remove the environments table (dev/qa/prod/dr) completely; point to
  docs/environments/ for platform-managed environments.
- Credentials section: remove go-gitea/gitea#36988 blocked mention +
  waivers D-039/D-047 language. State OIDC+ABAC default; alternative is a
  static AWS key (GitHub Secrets for platform-runner runs, .env.secrets
  locally) with daily rotation (platform-managed) or out-of-band rotation
  (consumer-managed for local .env.secrets).
- forge -> platform runners / platform-managed throughout.
- Links point to docs/ Pages paths, not .ciagent/.

modules/ terminology:
- modules/README.md: L1 primitives -> primitives, L2 compositions ->
  modules, composition -> pattern (prose); add roadmap note for the
  composition redesign.
- README-TEMPLATE.md: L1 primitive -> primitive.
- All 7 L1 READMEs: L1 primitive -> primitive.
- L2 static-asset + microservice READMEs: L2 composition -> module
  pattern, composition -> pattern, L1 -> primitive; bump stale @v1 ->
  @v1.4 in usage examples; fix CONSUMER_GUIDE.md -> consumer-guide.md
  link.

Verification: grep sweeps for .ciagent/.gitea/forge/go-gitea/waiver/
D-039/D-047/acdl_platform in docs/ README.md modules/ contracts/ all
return 0 hits. Tests: 166 pass. run_ci.sh green.

ecs-service — ECS Fargate service (task definition + service)

Module kind: primitive | Version: 1.0.0

An ECS Fargate service with its task definition. Runs a container image on Fargate, optionally behind an ALB target group. This is a multi-resource module: it creates a task definition and a service that runs it.

Resources

Resource Type Purpose
task_definition aws_ecs_task_definition Fargate task definition with container image, CPU, memory, port, env
service aws_ecs_service Fargate service running the task definition in a cluster + subnets

Inputs

Name Type Required Default Description
image string yes ECR image URL for the task container
port number yes Container port the service listens on
cpu number no 256 Task CPU units (Fargate)
memory number no 512 Task memory in MiB (Fargate)
env string no Environment variables as a JSON map string
cluster_arn arn yes ECS cluster ARN (from ecs-cluster)
subnets string yes Comma-separated subnet ids (from vpc)
security_group string yes Security group id for the service ENIs
lb_target_group_arn arn no Optional ALB target group ARN (from alb)
region string yes AWS region the service is created in

Outputs

Name Type Description
service_arn arn The ECS service ARN
task_def_arn arn The ECS task definition ARN

Usage

{
  "id": "service",
  "type": "aws:ecs:task_definition",
  "module": "ecs-service@1.0.0",
  "inputs": {
    "image": "581513795199.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/acdl-microservice:latest",
    "port": 8080,
    "cpu": 256,
    "memory": 512,
    "cluster_arn": "ref:cluster.cluster_arn",
    "subnets": "ref:vpc.subnet_ids",
    "security_group": "ref:roles.role_arn",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}

The image, port, and env inputs are compiled into a container_definitions JSON block by the adapter. The service is placed in the cluster with the given subnets and security group, and optionally wired to the ALB target group if lb_target_group_arn is provided.

Compliance extension points

  • CloudWatch Logs — add logConfiguration to the container definition with a log group + retention policy (SOX, SOC2 CC7.2, HIPAA §164.312(b), DORA ICT incident logging).
  • Task execution role separation — add a separate aws_iam_role for execution vs. the task role (SOC2 CC6.3 segregation of duties at runtime).
  • Secrets injection — add secrets block referencing AWS Secrets Manager / SSM Parameter Store with KMS encryption (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iv)).
  • Execute command — add enable_execute_command with KMS encryption for session audit (SOC2 CC7.2).
  • Deployment circuit breaker — add deployment_circuit_breaker block for resilience (SOC2 CC9.1, DORA operational resilience).
  • Health check — add a health_check block to the target group (currently missing despite the contract schema having a healthcheck field).

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.
