protogate 0.1.19

Migration tool and delegation platform for extracting bounded slices from legacy systems

protogate

Migration tool and delegation platform for extracting bounded slices from legacy systems with minimal coupling. Built on SUMD + DOQL + testql + taskfile ecosystem.

Package-level operational guide: see protogate/README.md.

Architecture

c2004 owns (c2004-first):

• Contracts (Protobuf)
• Generators and schema registry
• Commands & Queries (CQRS) handlers
• Migration discovery and planning artifacts
• Shell, navigation, auth/session bridge, iframe routing

protogate owns:

• Delegation/execution tooling layer
• Runtime bridge for invoking migration tooling from c2004
• Gateway runtime and health endpoints

protogate is not the source-of-truth for migration contracts, discovery logic, or planning artifacts.

Each delegated module follows a vertical-slice template:

• contracts/{slice}/v1/ - Protobuf contracts
• gateway/{slice}_handler.py - Command/query handlers
• Event store + read model adapters
• Frontend assets in gateway/static/
• Smoke tests & health endpoints

Quick Start

Using CLI (Recommended)

# Install protogate CLI
pip install -e .

# Generate all artifacts from contracts
protogate generate all

# Run specific generator
protogate generate python
protogate generate zod

# Schema registry operations
protogate registry check contracts/user/v1/user.proto
protogate registry list

# Run gateway
protogate gateway

# Run full CI pipeline
protogate ci

Using Makefile (Legacy)

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run gateway (development mode)
make gateway

# Run full CI pipeline
make ci

Code Generation

The project provides multiple code generators from Protobuf contracts:

Makefile Targets

Target	Description
make proto	Generate gRPC stubs via buf (requires buf CLI)
make zod	Generate TypeScript Zod schemas
make python	Generate Pydantic Python models
make json	Generate JSON Schema (draft-07)
make sql	Generate SQL DDL
make proto-all	Run all generators (proto + zod + python + json + sql)
make proto-changed	Detect changed proto files against main branch
make generate-incremental	Incremental regeneration (only changed proto files)
make clean	Remove all generated artifacts

Schema Registry

Manage schema versions and compatibility:

Target	Description
make registry-register	Register proto file in schema registry
make registry-check	Check compatibility without registering
make registry-list	List all schemas in registry

Legacy Bridge

Legacy schema migration and synchronization:

Target	Description
make legacy-register	Register legacy JSON schema + proto mapping
make diff-legacy	Diff legacy vs proto schemas
make legacy-report	Generate detailed migration report
make legacy-list	List all legacy schemas
make sync-check	Full sync check (fails if readiness < 1.0)
make bootstrap-legacy	Bootstrap EventStore from legacy DB

CI Pipeline

Target	Description
make ci	Full CI: lint → generate → test → registry check

Contract Enum Cross-Check

protogate codegen registry cross-checks CQRS contract JSON files (*.command.json, *.query.json, *.event.json) against Pydantic Literal[...] annotations found in layers.python. It catches the drift class that broke ADR-012 Wave 2 in c2004, where a server could return an enum value the contract did not advertise, crashing the client decoder.

CLI

# 1. Report-only gate (CI default)
protogate codegen registry contracts/ --check --cross-check-pydantic

# 2. Auto-fix warnings (safe; touches JSON only)
protogate codegen registry contracts/ --cross-check-pydantic --fix-safe

# 3. Auto-fix warnings + expand output enums (opt-in; may bless server bugs)
protogate codegen registry contracts/ --cross-check-pydantic --fix-safe --auto-expand-output

Directional rules

Direction	Rule	Verdict
output/payload	pydantic ⊆ contract	compatible
output/payload	pydantic ⊋ contract	error — client may crash on undeclared value
output/payload	contract ⊋ pydantic	warning — dead code paths on client
input	contract ⊆ pydantic	compatible
input	contract ⊋ pydantic	error — server rejects valid-per-contract input (HTTP 422)
input	pydantic ⊋ contract	compatible (intentional API restriction)

Pydantic source is never modified; all fixes apply to contract JSON only. Input-direction errors are never auto-fixed (require human decision between narrowing the contract or loosening Pydantic).

See docs/contract-cross-check.md for the full reference, the c2004 Makefile integration, and the Wave 2 post-mortem that motivated the feature.

Delegation Workflow

1. Generate candidate report in c2004 (detect_migration_candidates.py)

2. Generate delegation plan in protogate:

   python scripts/legacy_bridge/generate_delegation_plan.py \
     --input /path/to/c2004/module-candidates.json \
     --clusters /path/to/c2004/cqrs-pattern-clusters.json \
     --output-dir docs
   

3. (Recommended) Run full discovery pipeline in protogate:

   python scripts/legacy_bridge/run_arch_migration_discovery.py \
     --repo-root /path/to/c2004 \
     --output-dir reports/migration-discovery \
     --delegation-limit 30
   

4. Pick top module from Phase-1

5. Implement full vertical slice in protogate

6. Switch c2004 route to iframe host

7. Validate parity & archive legacy

Key Components

Code Generators

• Zod Generator (scripts/generate_zod.py): TypeScript runtime validation schemas
• Pydantic Generator (scripts/generate_pydantic.py): Python data models
• JSON Schema Generator (scripts/generate_json_schema.py): Draft-07 JSON schemas
• SQL Generator (scripts/generate_sql.py): Database DDL
• Incremental Generator (scripts/generate_incremental.py): Regenerate only changed proto files

Schema Registry

SQLite-backed schema registry with compatibility enforcement (scripts/schema_registry.py):

• Register schema versions with SHA256 hashing
• Check backward/forward compatibility
• List all registered schemas
• Prevent breaking changes

Legacy Bridge

Comprehensive migration tooling for legacy systems:

• Migration Discovery Orchestrator: Full pipeline profiling, candidate detection, service boundary analysis, CQRS pattern clustering, and delegation planning
• Migration Candidate Detection: Score modules by extraction suitability, identify service boundaries
• Service Boundary Analysis: Frontend module detection, backend route grouping, iframe suitability assessment
• CQRS Pattern Clustering: Classify modules by command/event patterns (data-grid, reports, manager, config)
• Migration Wave Planning: Generate phased extraction plans with effort estimation
• Legacy Schema Registry: Track legacy JSON schemas and proto mappings
• Diff Engine: Compare legacy vs proto schemas for compatibility
• Migrator: Bootstrap EventStore from legacy databases
• Sync Check: Validate legacy-proto synchronization readiness

CQRS Infrastructure

• Event Store (scripts/event_store.py): Append-only event store with SQLite, optimistic concurrency, snapshots, stream merging
• Conflict Resolver (scripts/conflict_resolver.py): Last-Write-Wins and merge strategies for concurrent events
• Vector Clock (scripts/vector_clock.py): Causal ordering and conflict detection
• Dual Writer (scripts/dual_writer.py): Dual-write pattern for legacy migration
• Idempotency Store (scripts/idempotency_store.py): Prevent duplicate command processing

DelegatedSlice Registry

Runtime model for slice metadata in gateway/delegation.py:

DelegatedSlice(
    name="search",
    phase="phase-1",           # phase-1 | phase-2 | live
    backend="delegated",
    frontend="static",         # none | static | planned
    contract_paths=("contracts/search/v1/search.proto",),
    command_routes=("/commands/search/index",),
    query_routes=("/queries/search",),
    smoke_checks=("/health", "/queries/search?q=test"),
)

Health Checks

Per-slice health validates:

• Contract files exist
• Read model assets present
• Frontend assets (if required)

Returns ok or degraded with missing requirements listed.
