Project context
Fictional static documentation compiler Rowan transforms synthetic text modules through a deterministic local adapter. It never executes candidate source as code.
Setup prerequisites
- Create a synthetic module graph and deterministic transform stub.
- Provide file-change, missing-input and interrupted-output fixtures.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- CBUILD-101 · Normalize local build paths without merging distinct modules
- CBUILD-102 · Report missing static-build imports at their source location
- CBUILD-103 · Detect static-build dependency cycles with a readable path
- CBUILD-104 · Include transform configuration in static-build cache identity
- CBUILD-105 · Invalidate transitive static-build dependents after source changes
- CBUILD-106 · Track failed static-build nodes without caching broken outputs
- CBUILD-107 · Make incremental static builds deterministic across worker order
- CBUILD-108 · Publish a static-build output generation only after all required nodes pass
- CBUILD-109 · Coalesce repeated static-build file events without missing deletion
Acceptance criteria
- Reasons identify changed input category
- Reuse points to compatible key
- Diagnostics omit source contents
Implementation constraints
- Local timing observations must state fixture and environment.
Verification to include
- Inspect unchanged build
- Change transform version and inspect reasons
Deliverables
- Build decision report
Rollout and recovery
Disable report fields that expose source content.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice dependency graphs and cache correctness.
For the team: Inspect whether build speed improvements preserve output correctness.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
