Conformance & golden suite
Port conformance
Every implementable port (runtime EventStore, provider adapters, IaC engines, …) ships a conformance suite. Human- and AI-authored adapters must pass the same suite to be certified. conformance suite hosts shared suites (for example EventStore append/idempotency/replay).
SDK semantics annex
Resilience, cancellation, deadlines, lifecycle tables, and supervision are pinned by the DX SDK resilience semantics matrix — Contract-visible ResilienceProfile application must obey that matrix (never-retry rules, deterministic schedules, fact-based inspection).
Golden suite (deploy gate)
The golden suite is a first-class Gatekeeper dimension: a signed, reproducible bundle that pins contracts, evals, conformance, benchmarks, chaos, and golden-master samples. Failures are structured, event-sourced, and can open Crew remediation (propose fix / A2H).
Behavior / Cucumber
Executable Gherkin features live under features/ for high-level evidence (durable journal scenarios, effects/resiliency scenarios). They complement package unit tests; they are not live multi-cloud E2E.
What “green” means
| Lane | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unit / package | Implementation correct in isolation |
| Contract consumer/provider | Boundary expectations hold |
| Conformance | Port claim is honest |
| can-deploy / Gatekeeper | Version skew + policy + cost ok |
| Golden | Reproducible multi-check bundle ok |
