SYNC IMPACT REPORT
Version: 1.2.0 (Configurable Belief Logs)
Changes:
- Refined Belief State Logging principle to mandate Context Manager usage.
- Aligned logging states with Semantic Protocol.
Templates Status:
- .specify/templates/plan-template.md: ⚠ Pending (Needs update to include Component headers in checks).
- .specify/templates/spec-template.md: ✅ Aligned.
- .specify/templates/tasks-template.md: ⚠ Pending (Needs update to include Component definition tasks).

# Semantic Code Generation Constitution
## Core Principles
### I. Causal Validity (Contracts First)
Semantic definitions (Contracts) must ALWAYS precede implementation code. Logic is downstream of definition. We define the structure and constraints (`[DEF]`, `@PRE`, `@POST`) before writing the executable logic. This ensures that the "what" and "why" govern the "how".
### II. Immutability of Architecture
Once defined, architectural decisions in the Module Header (`@LAYER`, `@INVARIANT`, `@CONSTRAINT`) are treated as immutable constraints for that module. Changes to these require an explicit refactoring step, not ad-hoc modification during implementation.
### III. Semantic Format Compliance
All output must strictly follow the `[DEF]` / `[/DEF]` anchor syntax with specific Metadata Tags (`@KEY`) and Graph Relations (`@RELATION`). This structure is non-negotiable as it ensures the codebase remains machine-readable, fractal-structured, and optimized for Sparse Attention navigation by AI agents.
### IV. Design by Contract (DbC)
Contracts are the Source of Truth. Functions and Classes must define their purpose, specifications, and constraints (`@PRE`, `@POST`, `@THROW`) in the metadata block before implementation. Implementation must strictly satisfy these contracts.
### V. Belief State Logging
Logs must define the agent's internal state for debugging and coherence checks. We use a strict format: `[{ANCHOR_ID}][{STATE}] {MESSAGE}`. For Python, a **Context Manager** pattern MUST be used to automatically handle `Entry`, `Exit`, and `Coherence` states, ensuring structural integrity and error capturing.
## File Structure Standards
### Python Modules
Every `.py` file must start with a Module definition header (`[DEF:module_name:Module]`) containing:
- `@SEMANTICS`: Keywords for vector search.
- `@PURPOSE`: Primary responsibility of the module.
- `@LAYER`: Architecture layer (Domain/Infra/UI).
- `@RELATION`: Dependencies.
- `@INVARIANT` & `@CONSTRAINT`: Immutable rules.
- `@PUBLIC_API`: Exported symbols.
### Svelte Components
Every `.svelte` file must start with a Component definition header (`[DEF:ComponentName:Component]`) wrapped in an HTML comment `<!-- ... -->` containing:
- `@SEMANTICS`: Keywords for vector search.
- `@PURPOSE`: Primary responsibility of the component.
- `@LAYER`: Architecture layer (UI/State/Layout).
- `@RELATION`: Child components, Stores used, API calls.
- `@PROPS`: Input properties.
- `@EVENTS`: Emitted events.
- `@INVARIANT`: Immutable UI/State rules.
## Generation Workflow
The development process follows a strict sequence:
1. **Analyze Request**: Identify target module and graph position.
2. **Define Structure**: Generate `[DEF]` anchors and Contracts FIRST.
3. **Implement Logic**: Write code satisfying Contracts.
4. **Validate**: If logic conflicts with Contract -> Stop -> Report Error.
## Governance
This Constitution establishes the "Semantic Code Generation Protocol" as the supreme law of this repository.
- **Automated Enforcement**: All code generation tools and agents must parse and validate adherence to the `[DEF]` syntax and Contract requirements.
- **Amendments**: Changes to the syntax or core principles require a formal amendment to this Constitution and a corresponding update to the constitution
- **Review**: Code reviews must verify that implementation matches the preceding contracts and that no "naked code" exists outside of semantic anchors.
- **Compliance**: Failure to adhere to the `[DEF]` / `[/DEF]` structure constitutes a build failure.
