Vertical Conformance Checklist

Status: active Contract Version: Vertical Contract V1.1 Last Updated: 2026-03-15

A. Structure

• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/intent_config.py exists
• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/prompts/__init__.py exists with register_<domain>_prompts()
• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/graph_nodes/registry.py exists with get_<domain>_graph_nodes()
• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/governance_rules.py exists
• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/README.md exists
• vitruvyan_core/domains/<domain_name>/vertical_manifest.yaml exists
• graph_plugin.py is NOT used (deprecated, use graph_nodes/registry.py)

B. Sacred Orders Domain Packs (Contract §13)

• pattern_weavers/taxonomy_<domain>.yaml exists and loads
• pattern_weavers/weave_config.py exists
• babel_gardens/signals_<domain>.yaml exists and loads
• babel_gardens/<domain>_context.py exists
• orthodoxy_wardens/compliance_config.py exists
• memory_orders/<domain>_config.py exists (if domain has persistent data)
• vault_keepers/<domain>_config.py exists (if domain has persistent data)
• Neural Engine contracts implemented (if domain has structured scoring)

C. Contract Usage

• Imports use contracts / vitruvyan_core.contracts
• No imports from deprecated contract namespaces
• Plugin interfaces are implemented where declared in manifest

D. Architecture Boundary

• No domain business logic added to core modules
• Sacred Orders remain domain-agnostic (domain logic in packs only)
• LangGraph extension is plugin-based via graph_nodes/registry.py
• Custom nodes are loaded through domain hook modules (not by editing core nodes)
• Neural Engine domain behavior is contract-based (if applicable)

E. Governance

• Governance rules are defined for sensitive use-cases
• Orthodoxy/Vault boundaries are respected
• Data classification assumptions documented

F. Testing

• Contract conformance tests pass
• Intent registry load test passes
• Manifest validation test passes
• Sacred Orders domain pack load tests pass (taxonomy, signals, rules)
• Integration tests pass (if required by manifest)
• If graph_nodes adapter is enabled, graph compile/runtime smoke test passes

G. Manifest

• domain_name is set and consistent with folder name
• contract_version matches 1.1.0
• required_components and adapters are complete
• sacred_orders_packs section is complete
• ownership fields are complete
• compliance.status is updated

H. Release Decision

• No open MUST violation
• No unresolved expired derogation
• All Sacred Orders domain packs present and loadable
• CI conformance gate is green
