Meridian Storage OCI

meridian-storage-oci is the Meridian V1 Object Adapter for an OCI Distribution 1.1 registry. Its stable Adapter id is oci-distribution. It implements streaming blob upload and download, digest verification, OCI image manifests for non-container artifacts, exact versions, range reads, bounded maintenance inventory, policy-aware deletion, resumable multipart upload, capability probes, and logical migration helpers behind the released meridian-storage-object-common==1.0.2 contract.

This repository publishes exactly one Python distribution. Provider endpoints, repository names, credentials, upload locations, tags, and manifest digests are private binding state and never appear in consumer Object results or errors.

Install

python -m pip install meridian-storage-oci==1.0.3

Python 3.12 or newer is required.

Composition-root use

Consumers continue to call meridian.catalog("object"). Platform composition creates one adapter per Object Resource binding:

from meridian_storage import ResourceRef
from meridian_storage.adapters.oci import (
    AnonymousCredentials,
    OciDistributionAdapter,
    OciDistributionBinding,
)

binding = OciDistributionBinding(
    resource=ResourceRef("object", "assets", "releases"),
    endpoint="https://registry.example.com",
    repository="meridian/releases",
    credentials=AnonymousCredentials(),
    conditional_create_mode="registry-enforced",
    deletion_enabled=True,
)
adapter = OciDistributionAdapter(binding)

The binding belongs to Platform/Vangu IaC. Application code must not construct this adapter, persist its physical identifiers, or receive its configuration.

OCI representation

Each logical Object id owns a deterministic anchor manifest. Every immutable Object version is an OCI image manifest whose subject is that anchor, whose config blob contains the exact portable Object metadata, and whose single layer is the Object payload. Immutable version tags are derived from hashes of the logical id and content digest. A private latest tag provides digest-less lookup; it is never a consumer release-channel API.

The Adapter records retention intent and enforces retainUntil before delete. It does not claim WORM or regulatory certification. Registry-side immutable-tag and retention enforcement are advertised only when the deployment explicitly declares those verified controls.

Verification

uv sync --all-extras
uv run ruff format --check src tests scripts
uv run ruff check src tests scripts
uv run mypy src
uv run pytest
uv run python scripts/verify_contracts.py
uv build

The integration suite uses the official Distribution reference registry. Set MERIDIAN_OCI_TEST_ENDPOINT and MERIDIAN_OCI_TEST_REPOSITORY to run it against another genuine OCI-compatible registry. Owner-managed registry variants are an explicit gate; mocks are used only for deterministic transport unit tests and are never reported as real-service acceptance.
