cf.basic.signal StepPackage

Signal-processing steps packaged for Cogniflow (FIFO buffer and statistical averages).

Note: Dev/demo/benchmark steps (InlineSource, OpcuaPhSource, OmpReductionStep, BudgetAwareStep) have moved to cf-basic-dev. This package now contains only core signal-processing steps.

Steps

Files

• steps.nq - single manifest (package metadata + ontology + implementation bindings)
• src/cf_basic_signal/cpp/steps.cpp - C++ implementations (plugin backend)

Pipeline backend plugin

The package registers a C++ plugin artifact described in steps.nq:

• C++ ops (impl="cpp"): fifo_window_buffer, average (registered via capsule register_cpp_op)
• No Python fallbacks; the C++ extension is required for pipeline_backend usage

Plugin metadata (artifact path, list/resolve symbols, certification) is stored under the cf:PluginArtifact node in steps.nq.

Quick check

1. Install package (editable or wheel) so the cogniflow.steps entry point exposes steps.nq.

2. Ingest step packages via cf_ontology and verify:

import os
from cf_ontology import ingest_installed_step_packages, OntologyManager

os.environ["CF_ENABLE_STEP_PACKAGES"] = "1"
ingest_installed_step_packages()
om = OntologyManager()
assert om.get_step_info("cfbs:FifoWindowBufferStep")
assert om.get_step_info("cfbs:AverageStep")

Published distribution name:

pip install cf-basic-signal

Native build prerequisites

cf_basic_signal is built with scikit-build-core and CMake and requires the published step-tooling package at build time:

• CPython 3.14
• CMake on PATH
• a Windows C++ toolchain compatible with that CMake installation
• access to cf-step-tooling from the package index

The package-local CMake generates the signature header through python -m cf_step_tooling.siggen and copies the built plugin artifact into the installed package's bin/ directory.
