Architectural Decision Record framework with bi-temporal validity, AST checkers, and FastMCP integration

Project description

iil-adrfw

ADR Framework for the IIL Platform — schema validation, loader normalization, constitution graph, audit tooling.

Python 3.12+ License: MIT

What it does

  • Schema v3 — strict JSON Schema for ADR frontmatter with additionalProperties: false
  • Phase 1 Normalizer — 15+ field aliases, status normalization, type coercion, reference extraction
  • Phase 2 Validator — jsonschema validation against adr_frontmatter.schema.json
  • Phase 3 Domain — typed ADR dataclass with Status enum, temporal fields, relations
  • Constitution Graph — cross-ADR dependency/supersession graph with cycle detection
  • Audit — staleness checks, implementation evidence verification, drift detection
  • CLI + MCP Serveriil-adrfw CLI and iil-adrfw-mcp FastMCP server

Real-world validation

Tested against 156 real platform ADRs:

Mode Result
Strict load (validate=True) 152/156 (97.4%)
Unit tests 22/22 green
Remaining failures 4x broken YAML (unfixable)

Installation

pip install -e .

# With dev dependencies:
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Usage

Python API

from pathlib import Path
from iil_adrfw.persistence import load_adr, load_adrs

# Load single ADR
adr = load_adr(Path("docs/adr/ADR-099.md"), Path("schemas/"))

# Load all ADRs in directory
adrs = load_adrs(Path("docs/adr/"), Path("schemas/"))

# Diagnosis mode (skip normalization)
raw_adr = load_adr(path, schemas, raw=True)

CLI

# Validate ADRs
iil-adrfw validate docs/adr/ --schemas schemas/

# Audit for staleness, missing evidence
iil-adrfw audit docs/adr/ --schemas schemas/

MCP Server

iil-adrfw-mcp

Schema v3 highlights

  • 5 new fields: updated, version, review_status, owner, implementation_done_when
  • 3 removed fields: glossary, review_cadence, next_review_date
  • Status enum: {draft, proposed, accepted, deprecated, superseded, rejected, experimental}
  • Implementation status: {none, planned, in_progress, partial, implemented, complete, verified, rolled_back}

Loader normalizations (Phase 1)

Step What
C.1 12 field aliases (datedecision_date, authorowner, etc.)
C.2 Status normalization (case, suffixes)
C.3 Scalar-to-list auto-wrapping
C.4 Reference field normalization (ADR-NNN extraction)
C.5 ID inference, title inference, domains default, deciders default
C.6 Amended-format normalization
C.7 implemented field → implementation_status mapping
C.8 Strip unknown properties

See SCHEMA_V3_SPEC.md for full specification.
