Return to Requirements

Each generated file SHALL include the generated-file header defined by the Developer Handbook.

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

Generated files require explicit metadata describing their source definition, generator, generation context, regeneration rule, and manual-editing status.

The generated-file header helps reviewers distinguish generated outputs from hand-authored source and supports repeatability and controlled regeneration.

This requirement applies to:

• generated types;
• generated DDS support code;
• generated bindings; and
• other governed generated outputs included in the Phase 0 baseline.

Verification SHALL confirm that each governed generated file includes the required generated-file header.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• the source definition is identified;
• the generator or generation process is identified;
• regeneration guidance is present;
• the manual-editing rule is stated; and
• the header conforms to the Developer Handbook.

This requirement connects Phase 0 generated files to their governed source definitions and generation process.
