Return to Requirements

Each repository location SHALL identify the artifact category it contains.

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

Each repository location must have an explicit implementation purpose so that contributors and reviewers can determine what type of material belongs there.

Artifact-category identification supports consistent placement, governance, review, and cleanup while preventing repository structure from becoming ambiguous.

This requirement applies to:

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

Verification SHALL confirm that each governed Phase 0 repository location identifies the artifact category it contains.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• each repository location has a defined category;
• artifacts are placed in locations appropriate to their category;
• category definitions are documented; and
• ambiguous repository locations are not admitted into the baseline.

This requirement establishes the relationship between Phase 0 repository locations and their applicable artifact categories.
