refactor: Rewrite CONTRACT.md as formal Software Design Specification
Convert from criminal code framing to binding legal specification format while maintaining rigorous quality standards. CHANGES: - Replaced 8 'CRIMES' with 8 'REQUIREMENTS' (same standards, professional language) - Added formal PREAMBLE and DEFINITIONS - Converted criminal statutes to verification protocols - Created compliance report with current status (7/8 requirements failed) - Added enforcement mechanism and post-recovery standards - Included probation period and binding authority sections - Added quick reference and execution commands in appendices PHILOSOPHY PRESERVED: - Non-negotiable quality requirements - Verification mandatory before acceptance - Remediation on failure (reject/revert) - All 8 core standards remain unchanged This is the binding design specification for MetaBuilder code quality.

# METABUILDER CODE OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY
|
||||
# METABUILDER SOFTWARE DESIGN SPECIFICATION
|
||||
|
||||
**A Software Criminal Code**
|
||||
**A Contractual and Binding Design Specification**
|
||||
|
||||
When writing software for MetaBuilder, poor code is not merely a business failure or technical debt.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a **crime**.
|
||||
This document defines the non-negotiable design, quality, and operational requirements for the MetaBuilder codebase. All code contributions are subject to these requirements. Non-compliance is grounds for immediate rejection, reversal, and remediation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE I: CRIMES AGAINST THE CODEBASE
|
||||
## PREAMBLE
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 1: COMPILATION FAILURE
|
||||
**Statute:** Any commit that causes `npm run build` to fail
|
||||
**Penalty:** Immediate rejection, force push revert, and loss of commit privileges until corrected
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal
|
||||
**Status:** ACTIVE AND BINDING
|
||||
**Date:** January 15, 2026
|
||||
**Scope:** All commits to the MetaBuilder repository
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
It is ILLEGAL to commit code that does not compile.
|
||||
There are no exceptions. There are no grace periods.
|
||||
If code breaks the build, it is a crime.
|
||||
```
|
||||
The MetaBuilder codebase MUST maintain operational integrity, type safety, testability, and architectural correctness. These requirements are not aspirational—they are contractual obligations.
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** Frontend build fails. COMMIT REVERTED (hypothetically, in real law).
|
||||
**Key Principle:** Code must be proven compliant before acceptance. Presumption is against acceptance until demonstrated otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 2: TYPE ERROR
|
||||
**Statute:** Any commit that causes TypeScript to report an error
|
||||
**Penalty:** Rejection, immediate revert, investigation into intent
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal
|
||||
## ARTICLE I: CORE REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
All code MUST pass strict type checking.
|
||||
Type errors are not warnings. They are crimes.
|
||||
Silencing type errors with @ts-ignore is conspiracy to commit fraud.
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 1: BUILD COMPLIANCE
|
||||
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- `npm run build` MUST complete without errors or warnings that prevent compilation
|
||||
- Build artifacts MUST be generated to their expected output directories
|
||||
- Build process MUST be deterministic (identical inputs produce identical outputs across runs)
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build && echo "PASS" || echo "FAIL"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** 27 type errors. Equivalent to 27 felony counts.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Immediate rejection of commit
|
||||
- Automatic revert if merged without approval
|
||||
- Responsible engineer must correct and resubmit
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — Frontend build fails. Correction mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 3: BROKEN IMPORTS
|
||||
**Statute:** Any code that references modules that do not exist
|
||||
**Penalty:** Life imprisonment in the git history (permanent marker of guilt)
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal + Civil
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 2: TYPE SAFETY
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you import from '@/dbal/adapters/prisma' and that file doesn't exist:
|
||||
- You have committed a crime
|
||||
- Everyone who merged your code is an accessory
|
||||
- Everyone who didn't catch it is negligent
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- `npm run typecheck` MUST complete with zero TypeScript errors
|
||||
- Strict mode flags MUST remain enabled (`exactOptionalPropertyTypes: true`)
|
||||
- Use of `@ts-ignore` and `@ts-expect-error` is prohibited except with explicit justification approved by code review
|
||||
- All implicit `any` types MUST be resolved to concrete types
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run typecheck && [ $(npm run typecheck 2>&1 | grep -c "error") -eq 0 ] && echo "PASS" || echo "FAIL"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** 27 broken imports in frontend. Investigation ongoing.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Immediate rejection of commit
|
||||
- Type violations MUST be fixed, not suppressed
|
||||
- Code must be corrected to comply with type system, not weakened
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — 27 TypeScript errors. Correction mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 4: DEAD CODE
|
||||
**Statute:** Any code that is not executed, not tested, and not documented as WIP
|
||||
**Penalty:** Execution (permanent deletion)
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 3: IMPORT RESOLUTION
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
You CANNOT commit code that:
|
||||
- Does not run
|
||||
- Cannot be tested
|
||||
- Serves no purpose
|
||||
- Was never completed
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- All import statements MUST reference modules that exist
|
||||
- No broken module references are permitted
|
||||
- Path aliases (`@/dbal`, etc.) MUST resolve to existing files or npm packages
|
||||
- No circular dependencies are permitted
|
||||
|
||||
39 DBAL stub files that don't work? MURDER.
|
||||
20+ getAdapter() wrappers that are obsolete? MANSLAUGHTER.
|
||||
Incomplete refactorings? ABANDONMENT OF A CHILD.
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run typecheck # catches unresolved imports
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** 39 broken DBAL stubs committed and abandoned. Multiple murder charges.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Immediate rejection of commit
|
||||
- All missing modules MUST be created or import statements MUST be corrected
|
||||
- Code cannot reference non-existent files
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — 27 broken imports in frontend. Correction mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 5: MISSING DEPENDENCIES
|
||||
**Statute:** Depending on code that doesn't exist
|
||||
**Penalty:** Minimum 5-year sentence
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal Negligence
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 4: DATABASE INITIALIZATION
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you write code that requires gen_types.ts and don't include it:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- Database schema MUST be initialized successfully
|
||||
- `npm run db:push` MUST complete without errors
|
||||
- Database file MUST exist and contain initialized schema
|
||||
- Database operations MUST be idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
|
||||
|
||||
If you reference a codegen script that only exists in Python:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
|
||||
If you leave a .gitignore that hides required files:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run db:generate
|
||||
npm run db:push
|
||||
test -f /dbal/development/prisma/dev.db && echo "PASS" || echo "FAIL"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** DBAL references types.generated.ts (doesn't exist). GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Schema inconsistencies MUST be resolved
|
||||
- Migration scripts MUST be corrected
|
||||
- Tests cannot proceed until database initializes
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — Database not initialized. Correction mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 6: SPECIFICATION VIOLATION
|
||||
**Statute:** Writing code that violates the CONTRACT.md
|
||||
**Penalty:** Permanent code review (no more solo commits)
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal + Probation
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 5: DBAL COMPILATION
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CONTRACT.md is LAW.
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- DBAL TypeScript source MUST compile without errors
|
||||
- `npm --prefix dbal/development run build` MUST succeed
|
||||
- Compiled output MUST exist in `/dbal/development/dist/`
|
||||
- All required exports MUST be present in compiled output
|
||||
- Generated type files MUST be created and included in dist
|
||||
|
||||
If CONTRACT.md says "single DBAL implementation" and you create 5:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
|
||||
If CONTRACT.md says "npm run build succeeds" and it fails:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
|
||||
If CONTRACT.md says "database must initialize" and it doesn't:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
**Verification:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm --prefix dbal/development run build
|
||||
test -f dbal/development/dist/index.js && echo "PASS" || echo "FAIL"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** All 5 violations of specification. GUILTY.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- All TypeScript errors in DBAL MUST be resolved
|
||||
- Missing code generation scripts MUST be created
|
||||
- Codegen tools MUST produce required artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — DBAL has 16+ errors. Correction mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 7: UNDOCUMENTED CODE
|
||||
**Statute:** Writing code without explanation
|
||||
**Penalty:** Code review imprisonment (30-day review lock)
|
||||
**Liability:** Criminal Negligence
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 6: DOCUMENTATION
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
If someone else cannot understand your code in 5 minutes:
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
**Specification:**
|
||||
- Every commit message MUST explain:
|
||||
- **WHAT** changed (specific files/functions modified)
|
||||
- **WHY** it changed (business/technical rationale)
|
||||
- **HOW** to verify it works (test commands or validation steps)
|
||||
- Code MUST be self-documenting (clear variable/function names)
|
||||
- Complex logic MUST have explanatory comments describing the _why_, not the _what_
|
||||
- All public APIs MUST have JSDoc/TSDoc comments
|
||||
|
||||
If you did not document WHY (not what):
|
||||
GUILTY.
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Commit rejected for inadequate documentation
|
||||
- Author MUST provide complete explanation before acceptance
|
||||
|
||||
If the next person has to reverse-engineer your logic:
|
||||
GUILTY OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DESTRUCTION.
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Current Status:** ⚠️ **INCOMPLETE** — Existing code lacks documentation. Future commits must comply.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### CRIME 8: UNVERIFIED CLAIMS
|
||||
**Statute:** Stating code works without testing
|
||||
**Penalty:** Loss of trust, exile to junior status
|
||||
**Liability:** Fraud
|
||||
### REQUIREMENT 7: NO DEAD CODE
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"This probably works" = FRAUD.
|
||||
"I think this compiles" = FRAUD.
|
||||
"I assume the database is initialized" = FRAUD.
|
||||
"It worked on my machine" = FRAUD.

||||
VERIFY EVERYTHING.
|
||||
PROVE COMPLIANCE OR FACE CONVICTION.
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Remediation on Failure:**
|
||||
- Code rejected if unused or incomplete
|
||||
- Dead code MUST be deleted or completed
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Violation:** MASSIVE. Entire codebase is unverified claims. GUILTY AS CHARGED.
|
||||
**Current Status:** ❌ **FAILED** — 39 DBAL stub files committed but non-functional. Correction mandatory.

|
||||
## ARTICLE IV: REMEDIATION PATHWAY
|
||||
|
||||
**§ 4.1.5 DBAL Compilation Mandate**
|
||||
```
|
||||
DBAL MUST compile without errors.
|
||||
npm --prefix dbal/development run build → success = LEGAL
|
||||
npm --prefix dbal/development run build → failure = ILLEGAL (FELONY)
|
||||
### Phase 0: Architecture Restructure (FIRST)
|
||||
|
||||
/dbal/development/dist/ must exist = LEGAL
|
||||
/dbal/development/dist/ doesn't exist = ILLEGAL (FELONY)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Execute `ARCHITECTURE_RESTRUCTURE.md`:
|
||||
1. Move `/seed/` → `/dbal/shared/seeds/`
|
||||
2. Move `/prisma/` → `/dbal/development/prisma/`
|
||||
3. Update package.json scripts
|
||||
4. Update DBAL exports
|
||||
5. Delete old folders
|
||||
6. Verify no broken references
|
||||
|
||||
**§ 4.1.6 Specification Compliance Mandate**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Code MUST comply with CONTRACT.md.
|
||||
All requirements in CONTRACT.md are LAWS.
|
||||
Violation of CONTRACT.md = ILLEGAL (FELONY)
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Timeline:** 30-60 minutes
|
||||
**Mandatory before Phase 1**
|
||||
|
||||
**§ 4.1.7 Documentation Mandate**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Every commit must explain:
|
||||
- WHAT changed
|
||||
- WHY it changed
|
||||
- HOW to verify it works
|
||||
- IF it violates any prior law
|
||||
### Phase 1: DBAL Compilation Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
Missing documentation = ILLEGAL (FELONY)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Execute `CODEBASE_RECOVERY_PLAN.md`:
|
||||
1. Fix/create codegen script (`gen_types.ts`)
|
||||
2. Fix 8 TypeScript strict mode violations
|
||||
3. Compile DBAL to dist/
|
||||
4. Verify all exports available
|
||||
|
||||
**§ 4.1.8 Verification Mandate**
|
||||
```
|
||||
No commit is LEGAL until proven compliant:
|
||||
✅ npm run build succeeds
|
||||
✅ npm run typecheck = 0 errors
|
||||
✅ All imports resolve
|
||||
✅ No dead code
|
||||
✅ Tests pass
|
||||
✅ Documentation complete
|
||||
**Timeline:** 2-3 hours
|
||||
**Mandatory before Phase 2**
|
||||
|
||||
If ANY check fails = ILLEGAL (FELONY)
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Phase 2: Database Initialization
|
||||
|
||||
### SECTION 4.2: ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM
|
||||
1. Generate Prisma client: `npm run db:generate`
|
||||
2. Initialize database: `npm run db:push`
|
||||
3. Verify: `/dbal/development/prisma/dev.db` exists
|
||||
|
||||
**Pre-Commit Hook (The Law Enforcement)**
|
||||
**Timeline:** 30 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Frontend Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
1. Remove DBAL source from frontend tsconfig
|
||||
2. Fix Next.js route handler signatures (4 routes)
|
||||
3. Verify typecheck: 27 errors → 0 errors
|
||||
4. Verify build: succeeds
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeline:** 1-2 hours
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Verification
|
||||
|
||||
Run full test suite:
|
||||
- `npm run build` → ✅ PASS
|
||||
- `npm run typecheck` → ✅ 0 ERRORS
|
||||
- `npm run test:unit` → ✅ ALL PASS
|
||||
- `npm run test:e2e` → ✅ ALL RUN
|
||||
- `npm run dev` → ✅ STARTS
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeline:** 30 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Total Estimated Effort:** 4-5 hours to full compliance
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE V: ENFORCEMENT
|
||||
|
||||
### Enforcement Mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
A pre-commit hook MUST enforce these requirements before code is committed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# The Police
|
||||
|
||||
npm run build || { echo "CRIME: Build fails"; exit 1; }
|
||||
npm run typecheck || { echo "CRIME: Type errors"; exit 1; }
|
||||
npm run test:unit || { echo "CRIME: Tests fail"; exit 1; }
|
||||
npm run lint || { echo "CRIME: Linting failed"; exit 1; }
|
||||
echo "ENFORCEMENT: Verifying code compliance..."
|
||||
|
||||
# If any crime is detected, the commit is BLOCKED.
|
||||
# This is not negotiable.
|
||||
# Requirement 1: Build Compliance
|
||||
npm run build || { echo "FAIL: Build does not compile"; exit 1; }
|
||||
|
||||
# Requirement 2: Type Safety
|
||||
npm run typecheck || { echo "FAIL: TypeScript errors exist"; exit 1; }
|
||||
|
||||
# Requirement 3: Import Resolution (caught by typecheck)
|
||||
# Already checked above
|
||||
|
||||
# Requirement 7: No dead code (lint)
|
||||
npm run lint || { echo "FAIL: Lint errors detected"; exit 1; }
|
||||
|
||||
# All checks passed
|
||||
echo "PASS: Code is compliant. Commit allowed."
|
||||
exit 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**This hook is NOT negotiable.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE VI: STANDARDS GOING FORWARD
|
||||
|
||||
### Post-Recovery Standards
|
||||
|
||||
Once the codebase achieves compliance, all future commits MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pass all verification checks** (ARTICLE II)
|
||||
2. **Include complete documentation** (commit message + code comments)
|
||||
3. **Have zero type errors** (strict mode enabled)
|
||||
4. **Have zero broken imports** (all modules exist)
|
||||
5. **Maintain database consistency** (schema + seed aligned)
|
||||
6. **Comply with architecture** (no duplicate implementations)
|
||||
7. **Be testable** (include or update tests)
|
||||
8. **Be reviewable** (understandable in 5 minutes by another engineer)
|
||||
|
||||
### Probation Period
|
||||
|
||||
After achieving initial compliance, the codebase enters a probation period:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Duration:** 30 consecutive commits with zero violations
|
||||
- **Requirement:** All commits must pass all verification checks
|
||||
- **Violation:** Any failed check results in immediate revert
|
||||
- **Post-Probation:** Full feature development can resume
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE VII: BINDING AUTHORITY
|
||||
|
||||
**This specification IS binding.**
|
||||
|
||||
This is not guidance. This is not aspirational. This is contractual requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
- All developers agree to these terms by committing code
|
||||
- All code reviewers agree to enforce these terms
|
||||
- All merged code is warrantied to meet these requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure to comply is grounds for:**
|
||||
- Immediate rejection of commit
|
||||
- Automatic reversion if merged
|
||||
- Loss of merge privileges until pattern changes
|
||||
- Code review assignment until compliant pattern demonstrated
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE VIII: CHANGE CONTROL
|
||||
|
||||
Any modification to this specification requires:
|
||||
1. Written proposal with justification
|
||||
2. Approval by all active maintainers
|
||||
3. Update to this file with dated change record
|
||||
4. Communication to all contributors
|
||||
|
||||
**No unilateral changes permitted.**

|
||||
|
||||
## ARTICLE V: REHABILITATION PROGRAM
|
||||
## APPENDIX B: DEFINITIONS
|
||||
|
||||
**The codebase is GUILTY and must be rehabilitated.**
|
||||
|
||||
### STEP 1: Confession
|
||||
```
|
||||
Acknowledge all crimes:
|
||||
- DBAL won't compile ✓
|
||||
- Database not initialized ✓
|
||||
- Broken imports ✓
|
||||
- Dead code ✓
|
||||
- Missing dependencies ✓
|
||||
- Specification violations ✓
|
||||
- Architecture violations (seed/schema not in DBAL) ✓
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### STEP 2: Architecture Restructure (MUST DO FIRST)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Execute ARCHITECTURE_RESTRUCTURE.md:
|
||||
1. Move /seed/ → /dbal/shared/seeds/
|
||||
2. Move /prisma/schema.prisma → /dbal/development/prisma/
|
||||
3. Create seed orchestration in DBAL
|
||||
4. Update all package.json scripts
|
||||
5. Update DBAL exports (add seedDatabase)
|
||||
6. Update frontend bootstrap code
|
||||
7. Delete old /seed/ and /prisma/ folders
|
||||
8. Verify no broken references
|
||||
|
||||
THIS MUST COMPLETE BEFORE STEP 3.
|
||||
Fixing code without fixing architecture = perpetuating wrong design.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### STEP 3: Restitution (AFTER RESTRUCTURE)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Execute CODEBASE_RECOVERY_PLAN.md:
|
||||
1. Fix DBAL codegen
|
||||
2. Fix TypeScript errors
|
||||
3. Compile DBAL successfully
|
||||
4. Initialize database
|
||||
5. Fix frontend imports
|
||||
6. Update Next.js routes
|
||||
7. Verify all systems operational
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### STEP 4: Probation
|
||||
```
|
||||
ALL future commits must:
|
||||
- Pass compilation
|
||||
- Pass type checking
|
||||
- Pass tests
|
||||
- Comply with CONTRACT.md
|
||||
- Be properly documented
|
||||
|
||||
Any violation = immediate revert.
|
||||
No exceptions.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### STEP 5: Permanent Record
|
||||
```
|
||||
This crime is forever recorded in git history.
|
||||
Future developers will see:
|
||||
- The crimes committed
|
||||
- The rehabilitation
|
||||
- The strict law enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
This is intentional. It is a teaching tool.
|
||||
Poor software is not tolerated.
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Build:** The process of compiling TypeScript to JavaScript and generating artifacts
|
||||
- **Compliance:** Meeting all requirements defined in Articles I-VIII
|
||||
- **Non-Compliance:** Failing to meet any core requirement
|
||||
- **Code Review:** Process of verifying compliance before merge
|
||||
- **Acceptance Criteria:** Objective, measurable standards for each requirement
|
||||
- **Remediation:** Actions required to bring non-compliant code into compliance
|
||||
- **Probation:** Period of heightened monitoring following initial compliance achievement
