hapax-spine 0.1.3

The SDLC-runtime mechanism (coord ledger, dispatch-policy evaluator, capability registry + receipts, quota arithmetic, EDT measurement, gate-event producer) for the Hapax n-DLC automation system.

hapax-spine

The SDLC-runtime mechanism behind the Hapax n-DLC automation system, as a small Python wheel. It is the governed core that turns a stream of work events into scored, routable, auditable state:

• an append-only coordination event ledger (+ its projection engine),
• a capability registry + receipts (capabilities identified by attested, measured behavior),
• a dispatch-policy evaluator (fail-closed, receipt-backed),
• quota / spend arithmetic, an EDT (equal-depth-of-treatment) fairness measurement engine, and a gate-event producer (the observational evidence stream).

It is dependency-light (pydantic, pyyaml) and consumed by reins (the cockpit) and, internally, by hapax-council.

Install

uv add hapax-spine        # or: pip install hapax-spine

Use

import hapax.spine.dispatcher_policy as dp
import hapax.spine.platform_capability_registry as reg

# The instance supplies its config-DATA dir (the registry, quota fixtures, EDT knobs)
# via HAPAX_SPINE_CONFIG_DIR (or pass an explicit path). Import is always safe; only an
# unconfigured *load* fails loud.
registry = reg.load_platform_capability_registry()          # env-injected path
sources  = dp.load_dispatch_policy_sources(registry_path=my_registry_json)  # or explicit

Set HAPAX_SPINE_CONFIG_DIR (and HAPAX_SPINE_REPO_ROOT) to your instance's config directory.

Honest scope

hapax-spine ships the mechanism. In v0.1.x the instance taxonomy — the routing-class keyspace, the reqvec dimensions, the provider/payment rails — ships as council-default vocabulary, not yet fully injected (see the v1.1 instance-free milestone). So a second instance runs the same engine but currently inherits those defaults; making the taxonomy (and the governance axioms) fully injectable is on the roadmap. We don't claim capability-/axiom-agnosticism the code doesn't yet deliver.

The 15 modules were extracted history-preserving from hapax-council; the wheel is agents/logos-free and imports only pydantic + pyyaml.
