Context — CAD architectural documentation

Continuous Agentic Development (CAD) is a novel pre-step to CI/CD coined and defined 2026-06-16 (brain: wiki/homelab/decisions/continuous-agentic-development-cad-concept-2026-06-16.md). The homelab repo is the canonical reference for platform architecture. CAD needs a permanent home here so every project, every harness, and every future collaborator can find the authoritative description.

Scope

Create docs/CAD.md — the canonical CAD reference document — covering:

  1. Definition — what CAD is, what problem it solves, how it relates to CI/CD
  2. The pipeline diagram — from claude.ai strategic session through to Flux CD deployment
  3. Component map — every component, its role, its repo, its status
  4. The agent-ready contract — what an issue must contain to be dispatched
  5. The regulated-industry case — why full traceability matters, what the audit package looks like
  6. Novelty statement — how CAD differs from GitHub Agentic Workflows / GitLab Duo / cicaddy
  7. Build order — what to complete in what sequence

Also update README.md to reference docs/CAD.md as the entry point for the platform architecture.

Acceptance criteria

  • docs/CAD.md exists and matches the brain definition (wing: homelab, hall: decisions)
  • Pipeline diagram is ASCII or Mermaid, readable without tooling
  • Component table is current and accurate (cross-referenced against actual repo status)
  • Agent-ready contract section matches agentsquad#29 validation rules
  • README.md links to docs/CAD.md
  • brain tunnel: wiki/homelab/decisions/continuous-agentic-development-cad-concept-2026-06-16.md ↔ this doc (cross-reference)

Risk

LOW — documentation only.

A cross-repo review comparing jonte888/FlowBrain (external client PoC) against 15+ CAD-stack repos (2026-07-23) produced a stage-by-stage component map and per-repo governance/gate/traceability findings that overlap heavily with what this doc's "Component map" and "Novelty statement" sections need. Summary + per-repo findings captured in brain under wing homelab (wiki/homelab/decisions/ground-truth-verdict-over-self-report.md, wiki/homelab/hypotheses/multi-agent-claim-collision-gap.md, wiki/homelab/hypotheses/semantic-gate-authority-fork.md, wiki/homelab/facts/glossary-ci-gate-pattern.md) — useful input whenever this doc gets written, not a substitute for it.
