These workplans exist only in the retired local hub. Their random pre-ADR-007 identifiers are refused by C-06 as stale references, so they cannot be registered. Deriving from the canonical record id takes no identity from anything: central does not hold them and the old ids die with the cache. Records central already holds were deliberately left untouched.

# ITC-WP-0016 — PracticePattern language
|
|
|
|
## Goal
|
|
|
|
Give recurring operational and architectural practices a stable, speakable
|
|
pattern language in InfoTechCanon. Define a common Markdown scheme inspired by
|
|
Christopher Alexander's pattern-language method, seed it with the proven
|
|
`InterfaceDeprecationStrangler`, and record its adoption in `arc-nexus`.
|
|
|
|
## T01 — Define the PracticePattern scheme
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: ITC-WP-0016-T01
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: high
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "f0bdca33-246b-5796-bdda-0ab018a411fe"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Define the identity, lifecycle, required frontmatter, required problem/forces/
|
|
solution structure, evidence expectations, and relationship vocabulary for a
|
|
versioned PracticePattern Markdown artifact. Add a machine-readable schema and
|
|
canon validation for the contract.
|
|
|
|
## T02 — Document InterfaceDeprecationStrangler
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: ITC-WP-0016-T02
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: high
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "7b02cde0-3208-5f69-87c8-2b9ccc0cbde4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Capture the reusable practice independently of State Hub: its context, forces,
|
|
solution, staged dynamics, invariants, retirement evidence, failure modes,
|
|
consequences, adoption checklist, and known use in State Hub.
|
|
|
|
## T03 — Publish retrieval and navigation assets
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: ITC-WP-0016-T03
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: medium
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "8aa4de40-27a8-5a73-8ead-5b9a7b9f595a"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Register the scheme and pattern in the artifact graph, schema catalog, pattern
|
|
index, generated views, and agent retrieval assets. Validate that agents can
|
|
retrieve the named practice without relying on the originating repository.
|
|
|
|
## T04 — Reference the pattern from arc-nexus
|
|
|
|
```task
|
|
id: ITC-WP-0016-T04
|
|
status: done
|
|
priority: medium
|
|
state_hub_task_id: "eb0c1da1-407a-5616-939d-6b4a6bf1a347"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
State in `arc-nexus` that old architecture interfaces are phased out using the
|
|
canonical `InterfaceDeprecationStrangler` PracticePattern, including the canon
|
|
artifact ID and path and the local adoption expectations.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance
|
|
|
|
- [x] PracticePattern Markdown artifacts have a documented and validated v0.1 scheme.
|
|
- [x] `InterfaceDeprecationStrangler` is a registered, retrieval-visible canon artifact.
|
|
- [x] The pattern distinguishes successful legacy traffic from attempted use of a retired interface.
|
|
- [x] `arc-nexus` names the pattern and states how it applies locally.
|
|
- [x] Canon validation and tests pass; both repositories are committed and synchronized.
|
|
|
|
## Result
|
|
|
|
Completed 2026-08-21. The canon now carries an Alexander-inspired
|
|
PracticePattern v0.1 Markdown scheme, a matching frontmatter schema and
|
|
structural validator, the active `InterfaceDeprecationStrangler` known use, and
|
|
generated graph, view, and agent-retrieval assets. `arc-nexus` adopted the
|
|
pattern by name and contract in commit `ff21e8a`.
|
|
|
|
## Out of scope
|
|
|
|
- Automatically instrumenting consumer repositories.
|
|
- Rewriting every pre-existing candidate pattern in this workplan.
|
|
- Standardizing protocol-specific deprecation headers beyond requiring explicit caller guidance.
