# Venture Platform: Infrastructure & Test-First Engineering Specs

**Date:** 2026-02-21
**Status:** Complete
**Track:** Core Infrastructure (Cross-Track)

## Overview

This document indexes the four comprehensive specifications written for Venture platform infrastructure and engineering discipline:

1. **process-compose.yaml** — Full runnable container orchestration
2. **docs/guides/TEST_FIRST_GUIDE.md** — Test-first mandate and patterns
3. **docs/guides/GIT_WORKTREE_GUIDE.md** — Parallel development workflow
4. **SCHEMA_PACK.md** — Expanded with full JSON Schema definitions

All files are production-ready and implement the core principles:
- **Primitive-first**: Smallest working component, then extend
- **Test-first**: Failing test before implementation (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
- **Default-deny**: All policy decisions are deny-by-default
- **Double-entry invariants**: Treasury ledger always balances
- **Schema-driven**: All contracts validated at boundary

---

## File Summaries

### 1. process-compose.yaml (453 lines)

**Location:** `/Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/parpour/process-compose.yaml`

**Purpose:** Full container orchestration for Venture platform. Runnable via `docker-compose up` or process-compose.

**Services Defined:**

#### Infrastructure Layer (3 services)
- **postgres:16** — PostgreSQL database, port 5432, persistent volume
- **nats** — NATS JetStream message broker, ports 4222/8222, persistent store
- **redis:7** — Redis cache/session store, port 6379, persistent store

#### Core Platform (7 services)
- **policy-engine:8001** — Policy validation and allowlist enforcement
- **agent-runtime** — Worker pool for agent execution
- **artifact-compiler:8002** — Deterministic artifact generation
- **treasury-api:8003** — Double-entry ledger and spend authorization
- **compliance-engine:8004** — Compliance case management
- **venture-orchestrator:8005** — Workflow orchestration and state machine
- **control-plane-api:8000** — Main API surface for external clients

#### Observability (2 services)
- **metrics-exporter:9090** — Prometheus metrics scraper
- **log-aggregator:5000** — Structured log collection

**Features:**
- Health checks on all services with `service_healthy` condition
- Proper service dependency ordering via `depends_on`
- Isolated Docker network (`venture`)
- Environment variables for all configuration
- Persistent volumes for PostgreSQL, NATS, Redis
- `uv run` Python commands with FastAPI
- Comprehensive logging and monitoring

**Usage:**
```bash
docker-compose -f process-compose.yaml up -d

# Verify services
docker-compose ps

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f policy-engine

# Stop services
docker-compose down
```

### 2. docs/guides/TEST_FIRST_GUIDE.md (852 lines)

**Location:** `/Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/parpour/docs/guides/TEST_FIRST_GUIDE.md`

**Purpose:** Test-first mandate for Venture. Every FR must have a failing test written BEFORE implementation.

**Test Organization:**
```
tests/
  unit/              # Pure functions, no I/O
  integration/       # Service boundaries, mocked deps
  contract/          # Event schema validation
  e2e/               # Full flows via process-compose
  fixtures/          # Shared pytest fixtures
```

**Test Types:**

1. **Unit Tests**
   - Pure business logic, no I/O
   - Fast (< 100ms)
   - Test single responsibility
   - Example: AuthorizationEngine validation

2. **Integration Tests**
   - Service APIs with mocked dependencies
   - FastAPI TestClient
   - Test request/response schemas
   - Medium speed (< 500ms)

3. **Contract Tests**
   - Event schema validation
   - All emitted events validated against schema registry
   - Strict: no extra fields, version pinning enforced
   - Example: agent.action emits valid EventEnvelope

4. **E2E Tests**
   - Full workflows through real/mock services
   - Test invariants (ledger balance, auth chain)
   - Slower but comprehensive (1-5 sec)
   - Example: Complete payout workflow

**Invariant Tests (Critical):**

Treasury Invariants:
- **Double-entry balance**: sum(debits) - sum(credits) == 0
- **No unmatched entries**: Every entry has workflow_id and authorization
- **No spend without authorization**: Must follow intent → auth → execute
- **Authorization chain enforced**: pending → approved|denied|expired

Policy Invariants:
- **No tool call without allowlist**: Default-deny enforcement
- **Role-specific allowlist**: Different roles have different tools

**Coverage Targets:**
| Service | Unit | Integration | E2E | Target |
|---------|------|-------------|-----|--------|
| policy-engine | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| treasury-api | 100% | 100% | 95% | 100% |
| compliance-engine | 85% | 85% | 80% | 90% |
| artifact-compiler | 80% | 80% | 70% | 85% |
| agent-runtime | 85% | 80% | 75% | 85% |

**Pytest Fixtures Provided:**
- `db_session()` — Isolated database per test
- `db_with_sample_data()` — Pre-loaded sample data
- `nats_mock()` — Mocked NATS client
- `nats_real()` — Real NATS connection
- `redis_mock()` — Mocked Redis
- `redis_real()` — Real Redis
- `policy_bundle()` — Sample policy with role/tool allowlist
- `policy_engine()` — Policy engine instance
- `treasury_client()` — Treasury client for testing
- `schema_registry()` — Global event schema registry
- `client()` — FastAPI TestClient with overridden dependencies

**Copilot L3 Pattern:**
```bash
# Write failing test
copilot -p "Write failing test for FR-VNT-TREAS-003..." \
  --yolo --model gpt-5-mini \
  --add-dir /path/to/parpour &

# Implement
copilot -p "Implement FR-VNT-TREAS-003..." \
  --yolo --model gpt-5-mini \
  --add-dir /path/to/parpour &
```

**Example Tests in Guide:**
- `test_spend_requires_authorization()` — FR-VNT-TREAS-003
- `test_authorization_checks_amount_ceiling()` — FR-VNT-TREAS-004
- `test_post_authorization_validates_request()` — FR-VNT-TREAS-005
- `test_agent_action_emits_valid_event()` — FR-VNT-AGENT-007
- `test_complete_payout_workflow()` — FR-VNT-TREAS-FLOW-001
- `test_ledger_always_balances()` — FR-VNT-TREAS-INV-001
- `test_no_tool_call_without_allowlist()` — FR-VNT-POLICY-INV-001

### 3. docs/guides/GIT_WORKTREE_GUIDE.md (575 lines)

**Location:** `/Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/parpour/docs/guides/GIT_WORKTREE_GUIDE.md`

**Purpose:** Parallel development workflow using git worktrees. Multiple agents work simultaneously without branch conflicts.

**Architecture:**

Milestones map to worktrees:
```
M1: control-plane-api      (Track A)
M2: policy-engine          (Track A)
M3: treasury-api           (Track B)
M4: artifact-compiler      (Track C)
M5: agent-runtime          (Track A)
M6: compliance-engine      (Track B)
M7: venture-orchestrator   (Track A)
M8: integration-suite      (All tracks)
```

**Worktree Creation:**
```bash
git worktree add ../venture-wt-m1-control \
  -b feat/venture-m1-control-plane origin/main

git worktree add ../venture-wt-m3-treasury \
  -b feat/venture-m3-treasury-api origin/main
```

**Branch Naming:**
```
feat/venture-m{N}-{service-name}

Examples:
feat/venture-m1-control-plane
feat/venture-m3-treasury-api
feat/venture-m4-artifact-compiler
```

**Commit Message Convention:**
```
{type}({service}): {FR-ID} {description}

{optional body}

Fixes: #{issue}
Co-Authored-By: {agent} <{email}>
```

**Types:** feat, test, fix, refactor, docs, chore
**Services:** policy, treasury, agent, artifact, compliance, orch, ctrl

**Examples:**
```
feat(treasury): FR-VNT-TREAS-003 spend authorization gate
test(treasury): FR-VNT-TREAS-003 failing test
fix(orch): FR-VNT-BUG-001 handle nil workflow_id in events
refactor(agent): consolidate task envelope parsing
docs(treasury): update ledger invariant documentation
```

**L3 Copilot Per-Worktree:**
```bash
# M1 agent
copilot -p "Implement FR-VNT-CTRL-001..." \
  --yolo --model gpt-5-mini \
  --add-dir /path/venture-wt-m1-control &

# M3 agent (simultaneously)
copilot -p "Implement FR-VNT-TREAS-003..." \
  --yolo --model gpt-5-mini \
  --add-dir /path/venture-wt-m3-treasury &
```

**Merge Strategy:**
- Per-FR: Squash merge (one commit per FR)
- Per-milestone: Rebase before final merge
- Schema changes: Go through main first, others rebase to get them

**Workflow:**
1. Create worktree from main
2. Create feature branch (feat/venture-m{N}-...)
3. Commit with strict convention
4. Rebase on main periodically
5. Create PR (squash merge)
6. After merge, remove worktree

**Conflict Resolution:**
- Schema/event definitions always go through main first
- Three-way conflicts: abort, resolve, or take ours/theirs

**Key Commands:**
```bash
git worktree add ../venture-wt-{service} -b feat/venture-m{N}-{service}
git worktree list
git worktree remove ../venture-wt-{service}
gh pr merge --squash
git rebase origin/main
```
