guide-board

guide-board is a certification and compliance preparation framework. It turns standards, conformance, regulatory, and repository-quality claims into structured evidence that can be reviewed, repeated, compared, and used during assessments.

The root project owns the framework contracts. Domain-specific work lives in extensions.

Local Baseline

The first core is intentionally dependency-light. From a clean checkout:

PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board extensions list
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board extensions validate
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board profile validate-target profiles/targets/sample-repository.json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board profile validate-assessment profiles/assessments/sample-noop.json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board plan \
  --target profiles/targets/sample-repository.json \
  --assessment profiles/assessments/sample-noop.json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board run \
  --target profiles/targets/sample-repository.json \
  --assessment profiles/assessments/sample-noop.json
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board runs list
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board runs trend
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board runs gate
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

External extension repos plug in with --extension-dir:

PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board --extension-dir ../open-cmis-tck extensions list
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m guide_board --extension-dir ../open-cmis-tck plan \
  --target ../open-cmis-tck/profiles/targets/kontextual-cmis-compat.json \
  --assessment ../open-cmis-tck/profiles/assessments/cmis-browser-baseline.json

The same CLI contracts are packaged by the container baseline. See docs/CONTAINER.md. The dependency-light local API wraps those contracts for service and container operation; see docs/LOCAL-SERVICE-API.md. New runs write a richer sources.lock.json, reports/submission-package.json, extension report fragments, and exports/export-manifest.json alongside the assessment package so reviewers can inspect source, metadata, artifact, export, and boundary references.

The sample-noop extension exercises the guide-board contracts without invoking an external harness. sdk-fixture demonstrates the extension SDK contracts for schemas, normalizers, mappings, and fixture profiles. open-cmis-tck is the first real seed extension.
