This handbook is intended for developers, architects, reviewers, integration team members, demonstration participants, and project stakeholders who need to understand, create, run, inspect, or govern the Phase 0 implementation Baseline.
The primary audience includes developers who will create or modify Phase 0 source code, generated Artifacts, scripts, Configuration files, containers, and tests. These readers should use the handbook as the practical guide for Repository structure, naming, documentation, script behaviour, Node behaviour, logging, and error handling.
The audience also includes architects who need to verify that implementation Artifacts remain aligned with the Financial Systems Archetype, the SIP-RA, the FDIS-RA, and the FX Demo Logical Profile. For these readers, the handbook provides the implementation-facing Evidence that architectural concepts are being realised in a disciplined way.
Technical reviewers should use the handbook to inspect whether changes conform to the expected conventions. This includes reviewing Repository layout, file naming, generated Artifacts, DDS topics, Node Lifecycle behaviour, Control Plane reporting, script exit codes, logs, Exception Handling, and acceptance Evidence.
Integration and demonstration team members should use the handbook to build, run, stop, observe, and troubleshoot the Phase 0 Node network. Project leads and stakeholders may use it to understand what Phase 0 proves, what it does not prove, and what must be completed before the September 2026 demonstration.
This handbook assumes that readers have a general technical background, but it does not assume that every reader is already familiar with DDS, IDL, ACTUS, SBVR, SIP-RA, or FDIS-RA. Where those concepts are required, the handbook identifies the relevant source material rather than repeating the full architecture.
