15.14 Developer Handbook Summary

Go To Phase 0 Developer Handbook Requirements

The Phase 0 Developer Handbook provides the practical development discipline required to implement the Phase 0 Implementation Profile consistently.

Table 15-1: Summary of Phase 0 Developer Handbook requirements.

Handbook Requirement Area	Primary Purpose
File-header requirements	Preserve purpose, ownership, Traceability, modification guidance, and review context for hand-authored files.
Generated-file header requirements	Preserve source definition, generation context, regeneration policy, and manual-editing rules for generated artifacts.
Naming convention requirements	Preserve consistency and traceability across repository artifacts, DDS Topics, IDL structures, generated types, scripts, and modules.
Coding style requirements	Preserve readable, maintainable, reviewable, and traceable implementation code.
Logging convention requirements	Support Health and Observability, Audit and Provenance, Control Plane behavior, and later Evidence planning.
Exception-handling requirements	Preserve processing outcome, operational condition, audit/provenance context, recovery expectations, and control-plane effects.
Traceability convention requirements	Support forward and backward review between Part 3 FX logical elements and Phase 0 implementation artifacts.
Repository workflow requirements	Control baseline artifacts, generated artifacts, non-baseline material, review, and contribution workflow.
Script usage requirements	Ensure scripts support controlled generation, build preparation, execution, cleanup, and traceability.
Review checklist requirements	Provide acceptance controls before artifacts enter the Phase 0 implementation baseline.

The Developer Handbook remains subordinate to the Phase 0 Implementation Profile. It provides practical rules for contributors; it does not redefine the architecture or the implementation profile.
