Return to Requirements

Each repository location SHALL identify the applicable Developer Handbook rules.

Part 4, Section 21.10: Repository and Build Artifact Requirements.

Repository locations contain artifacts governed by different development, generation, modification, review, and cleanup rules.

Identifying the applicable Developer Handbook rules ensures that contributors know how artifacts in each location must be handled and allows reviewers to apply the correct conformance expectations.

This requirement applies to:

• governed source locations;
• generated-code locations;
• configuration locations;
• script locations;
• documentation locations; and
• applicable build and non-baseline locations.

Verification SHALL confirm that each repository location identifies its applicable Developer Handbook rules.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• applicable file-header rules are identifiable;
• generated-file rules are identifiable where applicable;
• modification and review rules are identifiable;
• cleanup or exclusion rules are identified where applicable; and
• contributors can determine the governing handbook expectations for each location.

This requirement connects repository organization to the practical development governance defined by the Phase 0 Developer Handbook.
