Establishing the monorepo scaffold and shared contracts
Giving later capabilities a common package identity, cross-language contracts, and reference evidence foundation
Purpose
A shared workspace structure and pure contracts were needed to build the database, synchronization, Control Center, Public Web, and editorial execution in dependency order.
Product source and design observed read-only needed content-addressed evidence and shared staleness rules when those references changed.
Implementation
Eight workspace packages and their dependency graph were created, with only buildable minimal shells for applications and services. Pure shared packages avoid filesystem, network, and process dependencies while defining editorial identity, drafts and articles, canonical JSON, Unicode-scalar chunking, and screening envelopes.
- Match local-control protocol, fixed errors, and service operations through TypeScript and Swift golden fixtures.
- Detect missing or extra operations between servers and the Control Center.
- Derive a reference set from product and design generations and record consumer evidence append-only.
- Propagate staleness after source changes and recompute only valid carry-forward evidence.
- Fail closed when the required source lineage does not match, or for outside paths, symlinks, hardlinks, ignored files, secret-suspect files, and unreviewed untracked files.
Secret scanning and policy auditing now check the package graph, pure-contract boundary, absence of legacy elements, and reference-snapshot invariants through one verification entry point.
The implementation fixes draft identity, article content, and multi-role contributions in a strict schema. The later source array and uniqueness refinements are omitted.

What was confirmed
Verification results
All eight packages passed builds and type checks.
Thirteen TypeScript tests and one Swift test passed, confirming the cross-language contract.
Live read-only reference verification and the secret scan over 75 files passed.
The audit found no duplicate or error among 90 requirements and 50 acceptance conditions.
The scaffold, shared contracts, and reference-snapshot foundation were applied to the target. Later database, interface, synchronization, and external-resource capabilities remained unimplemented at the cutoff.
Basis for completion
The work was complete when the eight-package scaffold, pure editorial, local-control, and reference-snapshot contracts, cross-language fixtures, and fail-closed reference and secret policies passed builds, tests, live-reference verification, and specification audit.
