One publication manifest generates both views + +Crucible owns a central publication manifest that declares: + +- public path and media type; +- logical identifier and retrieval URL; +- owning project and immutable source revision; +- source path and checksum; +- lifecycle and stability; +- human documentation URL. + +The registry build and human catalog build derive from this manifest. A build +rejects divergent artifacts claiming the same public URL. Byte-identical +vendored copies are accepted only when the manifest names one authority and +declares the relationship. + +The shared manifest prevents drift. It does not couple the two deployments. + +### 6. Build in Crucible; publish through a protected boundary + +Crucible contains the deterministic, credential-free tooling that: + +- assembles the complete registry directory; +- validates schema identities, references, versions, and meta-schemas; +- detects path and ownership collisions; +- emits checksums and machine catalog data; +- produces the catalog input consumed by the human site. + +Ordinary pull-request CI builds and checks the artifact without production +authority. A signed release authorizes publication under +[PDR-0004](PDR-0004-release-publication-gate.md). A protected publisher promotes +the exact previously validated artifact; production credentials and environment +configuration do not live in the repository or enter untrusted build steps. + +The human-site publisher and schema-registry publisher use separate, +least-privilege identities. Rendering documentation does not grant authority to +replace machine contracts. + +This build tooling is repository infrastructure under +[PDR-0006](PDR-0006-shipping-charter.md), not consumer-linked runtime code. + +### 7. Each surface has explicit HTTP behavior + +The registry: + +- returns exact bytes with the declared machine media type; +- supports unauthenticated `GET` and `HEAD` with an explicit cross-origin policy; +- returns real error statuses and never falls back to HTML; +- applies short caching to mutable `v0` paths; +- applies long-lived immutable caching to SemVer paths; +- is smoke-tested after atomic publication for identity, checksum, media type, + cache policy, cross-origin access, and missing-resource behavior. + +The human site may use browser navigation and friendly error pages, but those +behaviors cannot intercept registry requests because it is a distinct origin. + +## Consequences + +**Positive** + +- Schema validators receive a small, deterministic machine surface. +- The human site can change generators, navigation, and visual treatment without + changing schema identifiers. +- One manifest keeps rendered documentation and raw artifacts tied to the same + source revision. +- Registry publication authority remains narrower than general website + deployment authority. +- Domain-first schema URLs survive changes in repository layout or registry + implementation. + +**Negative / costs accepted** + +- Two origins require separate artifacts, deployment policies, monitoring, and + smoke tests. +- The central manifest becomes governed infrastructure and must resolve + organization-wide URL ownership conflicts before publication. +- The human site must carry explicit links and version context rather than + relying on same-origin relative paths. +- A schema release and a website refresh can temporarily occur at different + times; version and digest labels must make that lag visible. + +## Alternatives considered + +### One origin with HTML and JSON selected by content negotiation + +Rejected. The representations serve different products rather than equivalent +serializations. It introduces cache variance, user-agent dependence, and the +possibility that a schema identifier resolves to HTML. + +### Serve raw schemas below `crucible.3leaps.dev/schemas/` + +Rejected as the canonical form. It couples machine identifiers to the human +product origin and its routing, deployment, and availability behavior. It also +abandons the already documented `schemas.3leaps.dev` namespace. + +The human site may expose `/catalog/schemas/` as a browsing experience, but raw +links point to the registry origin. + +### Add `/crucible/` below the schema origin + +Rejected.

It graduates to accepted when +the Crucible schema registry and human documentation site demonstrate the +two-surface pattern and one independent estate service records a conforming +adoption. + +## Context + +A single body of source material often produces several public products: + +- a raw schema consumed by validators; +- rendered documentation read by people; +- a machine-readable catalog consumed by discovery tooling; +- a download intended to remain byte-stable; +- an interactive application whose representation changes continuously. + +It is attractive to place these products behind one URL and choose a response by +content negotiation, user agent, rewrite rule, or fallback behavior. The source +is shared, and the pages may describe the same subject, so a single surface can +look simpler. + +They are not necessarily the same resource. A JSON Schema is an executable +contract with an identity, media type, reference graph, version policy, and +cache expectations. A rendered HTML page explaining that schema is a +presentation with navigation, prose, search, accessibility, and a different +release cadence. Serving one when a consumer asked for the other is not a +cosmetic error: a validator may cache HTML under a schema identifier, a browser +may receive raw data without a usable explanation, or an application fallback +may convert a missing machine artifact into a successful `200 text/html`. + +The same hazard appears beyond JSON and HTML. A control plane and a data plane +may share a product name but not an authority boundary. A mutable discovery +alias and an immutable release artifact may share content but not cache +semantics. A public status surface and an authenticated application may describe +one system but must remain available under different failure conditions. + +The recurring mistake is treating **shared subject matter** or **shared source** +as proof of a shared publication contract. + +This record uses two terms: + +- A **domain of concern** is a coherent set of consumers, semantics, lifecycle, + authority, and operational expectations. It is not necessarily a DNS domain. +- A **publication surface** is the canonical addressable namespace through which + that contract is delivered: an origin, path family, registry, feed, or other + public interface. + +The standing tension this record arbitrates is **fewer visible endpoints and +less deployment machinery** versus **unambiguous identity, bounded authority, +and behavior consumers can safely automate against**. When the contracts differ, +clarity wins. + +## Principle + +> **Each canonical public identifier MUST resolve to one declared publication +> contract. Products with materially different consumer, semantic, lifecycle, +> authority, or failure contracts MUST have distinct canonical resources; when +> those differences create independent operational boundaries, they SHOULD have +> distinct origins.** + +Six obligations make the principle inspectable. + +### 1. One identifier has one primary contract + +A canonical URL declares what the resource is, not merely where some source +material can be rendered. Its primary audience, representation semantics, +media type, version behavior, and mutability are stable enough for a consumer to +act on without guessing. + +Compression, transport encoding, or genuinely equivalent serializations may be +negotiated. A human explanation and an executable machine contract are not +equivalent serializations. They receive distinct canonical URLs. + +### 2. Separate the resource before separating the infrastructure + +Distinct canonical paths are the minimum boundary. Use distinct origins when +one or more of these differ materially: + +| Concern | Examples of a material difference | +| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | +| Consumer | browser reader versus unattended validator | +| Semantics | explanatory page versus executable contract | +| Version and mutation | continuously revised page versus immutable release object | +| Caching | short-lived navigation versus long-lived pinned artifact | +| Authority | public read versus privileged control or mutation | +| Availability | application failure versus independent status or recovery | +| Failure behavior | navigational fallback versus exact status and media type | +| Deployment | separate release gate, owner, or credential boundary | + +An origin is not required merely to organize navigation. Sections of one +documentation product can remain paths on one documentation origin. Conversely, +a path prefix does not provide meaningful separation when its deployment +authority, fallback router, cache policy, or failure domain remains inseparable +from the rest of the origin. + +### 3. Machine surfaces fail as machines + +A machine publication surface: + +- returns the declared media type and exact artifact bytes; +- uses truthful HTTP status codes; +- never replaces a missing resource with an application shell or HTML error + carrying a success status; +- makes mutation and cache semantics explicit; +- is usable without browser execution, cookies, or user-agent detection. + +Browsable indexes may exist, but they do not change the contract of canonical +machine artifact URLs. + +### 4. Human surfaces explain and link; they do not impersonate + +A human surface may render, annotate, search, compare, and contextualize a +machine artifact. It links to the artifact's canonical machine URL and identifies +the version or digest it describes. + +It does not become an undocumented second authority for the raw bytes. A proxy +or convenience download is labelled as such and redirects or links to the +canonical resource unless it has an independently declared publication +contract. + +### 5. Shared source produces coordinated artifacts, not coupled runtimes + +One governed manifest or source release SHOULD generate both machine and human +outputs when they describe the same material. The outputs record cross-links and +the same source revision, version, and digest where applicable. + +This single-source rule prevents drift; it does not require one deployment, +runtime, origin, cache, or credential. Build-time coordination is preferred to +runtime dependence on a moving source. + +### 6. Publication authority follows the surface + +Credentials and mutation rights are bounded to the publication surface they +control. A human site renderer does not acquire authority to replace canonical +machine artifacts merely because it presents them. An artifact builder does not +receive production credentials merely because its output may later be +published. + +Where a protected publisher is required, unprivileged work produces a +deterministic artifact first. The privileged step promotes that exact artifact +under the surface's own authorization policy. + +## Decision test + +Before assigning two products to one surface, answer: + +1. Do they have the same primary consumer and semantic contract? +2. Can they share media-type and failure behavior without negotiation or + guessing? +3. Do they have the same mutation, version, and cache policy? +4. Should compromise or failure of one grant control of or remove the other? +5. Are they authorized and released by the same act? + +If questions 1 or 2 are **no**, use distinct canonical resources. If questions +3 through 5 expose an operational boundary, prefer distinct origins as well. + +## Consequences + +**Makes easier** + +- Automated consumers receive deterministic content and truthful failures. +- Human interfaces can evolve without destabilizing machine identifiers. +- Cache, availability, and security controls are scoped to the resource they + protect. +- A product can replace its site generator or hosting provider without changing + its machine contract. +- Incident diagnosis starts with a declared surface owner and behavior rather + than a rewrite chain. + +**Makes harder / costs accepted** + +- One source product may require several static builds, origins, certificates, + deployment policies, and smoke-test suites. +- Cross-links and source-version parity become explicit build outputs that must + be verified. +- Teams must make the publication boundary decision early, before convenient + URLs become durable dependencies. +- A small deployment may use more infrastructure than a single catch-all site. + The additional machinery is accepted when it buys a real contract or authority + boundary; this record does not require ceremonial subdomains. + +## Adoption and propagation + +This principle is canonical in Crucible. Adopting repositories link or vendor it +and record their local surface map; they do not maintain a divergent restatement. + +A conforming surface map identifies: + +- the canonical origin or path family; +- the resource and primary consumer; +- representation and failure contract; +- mutation, version, and cache policy; +- publication authority and release trigger; +- authoritative source and cross-links to related surfaces. + +The map may be an ADR, deployment manifest, or public operations document. The +principle fixes the questions, not the file format or hosting provider. + +## Not this record + +- Choosing a hosting provider, CDN, static-site generator, or DNS operator → + implementation ADR or infrastructure record. +- Choosing a particular product's hostnames and paths → that product's ADR. +- Defining the exact release trigger and human approval sequence → PDR. +- Threat-specific credential scopes and residual risks → SecDR. +- Declaring the version semantics of a schema family → schema ADR or DDR. + +## Rationale for the record type + +**EPR, not ADR.** The motivating instance is a web architecture choice, but the +rule survives every current hostname, generator, provider, and repository. It +applies equally to APIs, downloads, registries, control planes, and status +surfaces. Reversing it would mean accepting ambiguous resource identity and +coupled authority as an estate default, not selecting a different component. + +**Not a web standard.** HTML and JSON make the distinction easy to see, but file +format is evidence of a boundary rather than the boundary itself. Two JSON +resources can have different authority and lifecycle contracts; two HTML +sections can belong to one coherent surface. + +## References + +- [ADR-0003: Decision & Governance Record Taxonomy](ADR-0003-decision-record-taxonomy.md) +- [EPR-0003: Durable Claims Assert on What Exists and Move When It Moves](EPR-0003-claim-integrity.md) +- [PDR-0004: The Signed Tag Authorizes Publication](PDR-0004-release-publication-gate.md) +- [ADR-0007: Separate Crucible Documentation and Schema Registry Origins](ADR-0007-separate-documentation-and-schema-registry-origins.md) +- [Decision & Governance Records — the `*DR` family](../repository/decision-records.md) + +## Revision History + +| Date | Status Change | Summary | Updated By | +| ---------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------- | +| 2026-08-19 | → proposed | Establish the estate-wide publication concern boundary | entarch | diff --git a/docs/decisions/PDR-0007-curate-role-catalog.md b/docs/decisions/PDR-0007-curate-role-catalog.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..822bfc2 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/decisions/PDR-0007-curate-role-catalog.md @@ -0,0 +1,124 @@ +--- +id: "PDR-0007" +title: "Curate the role catalog around proven decision boundaries" +status: "accepted" +date: "2026-08-19" +last_updated: "2026-08-19" +deciders: + - "@3leapsdave" + - "cxotech" + - "entarch" +scope: "Crucible foundation / reusable agentic role catalog" +tags: + - "process" + - "roles" + - "governance" + - "agentic" +relates-to: + - "PDR-0003 role portfolio tiering" + - "role-prompt schema v0" +--- + +# PDR-0007: Curate the role catalog around proven decision boundaries + +## Status + +**Accepted.** + +## Context + +The initial role catalog established a reusable vocabulary, but downstream use +revealed three different outcomes: + +1.
