Chapter 11 Implementation Binding Layer & Function Prototype Specification
I. Chapter Goals & Scope (Mandatory)
- Ground this volume’s Decision & Change Records (DRs) in the Implementation Binding layer as stable API/CLI/Schema contracts and function prototypes, ensuring reproducibility, auditability, and replayability.
- Aligned with Ch.3 (Record Structure), Ch.4 (State Machine), Ch.6 (Impact), Ch.7 (Rollback Loop), Ch.8 (Sign-off), Ch.9 (Implementation & Verification), Ch.10 (Release Strategy).
II. Binding-Layer Structure & Naming (Mandatory)
- Interface tiers: domain (domain services) / data (data contracts) / ops (operations & release) / audit (audit exports).
- Naming: <namespace>.<resource>.<action>; versioning via semver and version_range.
- Unified response fields: code (enum), message (summary), data (payload), trace_id (trace).
- Error taxonomy: E_INPUT / E_STATE / E_GATE / E_DEP / E_SYS; each must be traceable to script@commit and data/contract versions.
III. Contract Consistency & Compatibility Policy (Mandatory)
- Compatibility line: field additions are BC; deletions/renames are Breaking and require a fallback with dual-stack for ≥ one observation window.
- Data contracts: both input and output must specify unit, dim, ci/uncertainty (if applicable) and pass check_dim.
- Anchor disclosure: list S/P/M/I anchors used in meta.anchors[] using “Volume vX.Y:Anchor”.
IV. Unified Symbols & Path/Formula Caliber (Mandatory)
- Arrival-time examples:
- Constant factored: T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell )
- General form: T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell )
- Any interface that returns or consumes T_arr must define path gamma(ell) and measure d ell in the same or adjacent paragraph (or cite their anchors); no mixing T_fil/T_trans, n/n_eff, c/c_ref; no Chinese in formulas/symbols/definitions.
V. API Design (REST/HTTP, Mandatory)
- Versioned path: /api/v{major}; plural resources; idempotency: GET idempotent, POST non-idempotent, PUT/PATCH conditional (If-Match).
- Pagination: page/size/next_token; sorting: sort=field:asc|desc; filtering: q= and structured filter[field]=op:value.
- Observability & audit: all writes return audit_ref and artifact_hash; repository sign-off per Ch.8.
- Rate limits: 429 with backoff hints; long-running tasks: 202 + Location for polling.

- Example SLOs: p95_latency<=200ms@1d, availability>=99.9%@30d, error_rate<=1e-3@1d.
- Breaches: follow Ch.7 triggers; auto-execute rollback API and issue a RollbackReport when required.

- Metrics: requests, latency, errors, rate-limit hits, replay coverage, gate pass rate.
- Logging: structured JSON with trace_id/span_id/decision_id/release_id.

Binding structure & naming | namespace/resource/action | Consistent and traceable |
Contract compatibility | version_range/fallback | BC/cBC/Breaking explicit |
Arrival-time caliber | data.path/measure/c_ref/n_eff_profile | Path & measure explicit; check_dim passes |
Gates & evidence | gates.*, artifacts | Hard gates first; replayable evidence |
Audit & security | audit_ref, trace_id, RBAC | Traceable; least privilege |
Release & rollback | ReleaseSpec/rollback | Closed loop with Ch.10/Ch.7 |
XIV. Cross-Reference Style (Mandatory)
