Part 6: Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane

Go to The FX Demo Root

Part 5 provides practical guidance for developers on building, running, reviewing, and maintaining the Phase 0 implementation baseline. It describes repository organisation, file naming, script usage, generated artefacts, node implementation patterns, logging, exception handling, container build conventions, acceptance checks, and evidence capture. Part 5 supports repeatable implementation work by giving developers a consistent operational handbook. It complements Part 4 by explaining how developers apply the selected platform-specific model in source code, scripts, configuration files, and local runtime procedures.
