docs(P48): vision gaps + badge system + substrate→engine + CR format + agentic tags
9 requirements implemented across presentation decks and project docs:

1. DX closing slide: added 'Infrastructure as a utility, not a craft' bullet
   to convey the full vision (infrastructure consumed, not maintained;
   platform compounds value over time).
2. PW Problem slide: 'moving a merged change' → 'promoting a change'.
3. PW Problem slide: added 'Red tape' and 'Scalability without increasing
   headcount' bullets (4 frictions, not 2).
4. PW Roadmap slide: redesigned with side-by-side HTML table layout
   (Testing | Planned), 16px font, no overflow.
5. PW deck: added new slide 'What This Platform Is — and Isn't' after North
   Star (sovereign boundary, infrastructure as utility, 4 anti-goals).
   PW deck now 16 slides (was 15).
6. Maturity nomenclature: 'Available today'/'shipped' → 'Testing' across
   both decks + source markdown. New .testing badge (blue/teal #DBEAFE).
   Roadmap title: 'Testing vs. Planned'. The platform has 0 consumer
   adoption — 'shipped' was inaccurate.
7. Global: 'substrate' → 'engine' across entire project (88 matches, 30+
   files including .ciagent/, docs/, modules/, adapters/, schemas/, code).
8. Presentation files only: 'forge' → 'VCS' / 'version control system'
   (6 occurrences in 4 files). 'forge' retained in all technical docs and
   code as the industry-standard term.
9. New .agentic badge (purple/violet #EDE9FE) appended to agentic features
   in both decks: confidence signal, autonomous dev, pattern recognition,
   dynamic module creation, citizen developer surface, auto-promotion.

Also: Change Request ID format changed from 'CR-2026-001' to 'CHG0678912'
across presentation files, consumer guide, and test fixtures.

HTML re-rendered. PPTX rendered for release upload.

waf — WAFv2 Web ACL

Module kind: primitive | Version: 1.0.0

A WAFv2 Web ACL scoped to CloudFront. It applies managed rule groups by default and can be associated with a CloudFront distribution to filter traffic before it reaches the origin. CloudFront-scoped Web ACLs are always created in us-east-1.

Resources

Resource Type Purpose
webacl aws_wafv2_web_acl WAFv2 Web ACL with managed rules

Inputs

Name Type Required Default Description
name string yes Name of the Web ACL
scope string no cloudfront Scope of the Web ACL (default cloudfront for CloudFront associations)
default_action string no allow Default action (default allow)
rules string no Optional custom rules as JSON (default: managed rules only)
region string yes AWS region (CloudFront-scoped WAF is always us-east-1; the adapter ignores this for cloudfront scope)

Outputs

Name Type Description
web_acl_arn arn The WAF Web ACL ARN

Usage

{
  "id": "waf",
  "type": "aws:wafv2:webacl",
  "module": "waf@1.0.0",
  "inputs": {
    "name": "acdl-static-assets-waf",
    "scope": "cloudfront",
    "default_action": "allow",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}

The web_acl_arn output is typically wired as a ref: expression into the cloudfront primitive's waf_web_acl_arn input inside a module composition (see modules/l2/static-assets).

Compliance extension points

  • Rate limiting — add a rate-based rule to cap requests per IP (SOC2 CC6.1, DORA operational resilience).
  • Geo blocking — add a geo-match statement to block/allow countries for data-residency compliance (GDPR Art.44, SOC2 CC6.1).
  • Custom rules — add custom rule statements for application-specific filtering (e.g. block SQLi/IP allow-lists) (SOC2 CC6.1).
  • Logging — enable WAF access logging to S3/CloudWatch/Kinesis for auditability (SOC2 CC7.2, DORA audit trail).

Examples

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

Simple

A minimal deployment:

examples/simple.yaml

# Simple WAF with managed rules only
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: waf
environment: dev
inputs:
  name: my-waf
  region: us-east-1

Complex

A production deployment with optional inputs:

examples/complex.yaml

# Complex WAF with rate limiting + geo blocking (custom rules)
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: waf
environment: dev
inputs:
  name: my-production-waf
  scope: cloudfront
  default_action: allow
  region: us-east-1

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.
