# cad-atlas — Inception Sprint Oath

The acceptance contract for standing up cad-atlas. The sprint is finalized only when this
Oath holds. Methodology: brain `wiki/homelab/decisions/inception-sprint-and-oath.md`.

> **Status of enforcement:** this Oath is currently **advisory** (human-verified). Machine
> enforcement via `var-go/oath` is deferred — see the honesty rule below and issue #1.

## General clauses (any inception sprint)

| # | Clause | Status | Evidence |
|---|--------|--------|----------|
| G1 | Repo born from template on Gitea, dispatch-eligible | ✅ | `create_project_from_template`, `.dispatch-allow`, dispatch-allowlisted |
| G2 | Self-contained context + brain deep-links + external refs | ✅ | `.context/PROJECT.md`, `README.md` |
| G3 | Green CI on main: build · vet · lint · test (TDD) | ✅ | CI runs 16–17 green; `internal/web/handler_test.go` |
| G4 | Genesis learning persisted to brain, linked from repo | ✅ | `wiki/homelab/decisions/cad-atlas-audit-chain-is-viz-data.md` |
| G5 | Discovered findings filed as tracker issues | ✅ | template-go-web#8, local-dev#20 |
| G6 | SemVer tag marks the milestone (closing act) | ✅ | `v0.1.0` |
| G7 | Agent-ready spec issue for the next increment | ✅ | #1 |

## Specific clauses (cad-atlas)

| # | Clause | Status | Evidence |
|---|--------|--------|----------|
| S1 | Atlas served at `/`, renders all 9 stages signal→pod | ✅ | `internal/web/handler.go` + `static/cad-atlas.html` |
| S2 | Oath covered in the viz (stages 03 + 06) | ✅ | var-go Oath nodes in the atlas |
| S3 | `var-go/oath` enforces cad-atlas's own PRs | ⏸ **deferred → #1** | var-go v1 candidate is a toy self-test; module not cross-repo consumable. See honesty rule. |

## The honesty rule

A clause blocked by an external dependency is **descoped and tracked, never marked satisfied** —
a self-lying Oath is a rubber stamp, the exact failure the Oath exists to prevent. S3's real
enforcement depends on a var-go Executor (swedsl#27) + a published `oath` module; it is tracked as
a fast-follow on **#1**, not claimed here. The `DMABE_GITEA_API_TOKEN` Actions secret is
pre-provisioned so #1 can land without a secret-write.

## The Oath (advisory form)

```var
Given a new software thing is being stood up as an inception sprint
Then its repo is born from template on Gitea and is dispatch-eligible
And its context is self-contained with brain deep-links and external references
And CI on main is green across build, vet, lint and test
And the genesis learning is persisted to brain and linked from the repo
And every discovered finding is filed as a tracker issue
And an agent-ready spec issue exists for the next increment
And a SemVer tag marks the milestone as the closing act
And any clause blocked by an external dependency is descoped and tracked, never claimed
```
