Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.
Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.
The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.

# RFC: Supply chain checks and vendor drift verification
|
|
|
|
Status: proposed
|
|
|
|
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
|

## Problem
|
|
|
|
The vendor manifest ([the vendoring decision](../../implemented/process/2026-06-11-vendor-cordis-as-source.md)) is enforced at commit time in the *forward* direction (vendored change ⇒ manifest update) but nothing verifies the manifest's *claims*: that vendor/ actually equals upstream-at-SHA plus exactly the logged modifications. And the handful of true npm dependencies have no advisory monitoring or update cadence.
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
1. **Vendor drift check** (nightly CI): clone the upstream repos at the manifest SHAs (shallow), copy the corresponding package sources, and diff against `vendor/*/src`. The job fails unless the diff matches the logged local modifications (kept as a checked-in patch file per modification — the log entries become verifiable artifacts rather than prose).
|
|
2. **Dependency advisories**: osv-scanner (or `pnpm audit`) job on the lockfile, scheduled + on lockfile-touching PRs.
|
|
3. **License inventory**: a script asserting every vendored package carries its LICENSE and that package.json `license` fields match the inventory in vendor/README.md (we mix vendored MIT with our BSD-3) — CI step.
|
|
4. **Renovate** (or a scheduled agent task) proposing npm dependency updates in small PRs that ride the full gate suite; vendored packages are excluded (their updates follow the manifest sync procedure, ideally as a semi-automated agent workflow: fetch upstream, re-apply patches, run gates, open PR with the manifest table updated).
|
|
|
|
## Plan
|
|
|
|
3 is trivial — do first. 1 requires network access from CI to the upstream repos (private — needs a token) and converting the two existing logged modifications into patch files. 2 and 4 are config.
|
|
|
|
## Risks
|
|
|
|
Upstream repos are private mirrors; CI credentials and availability are the main friction for the drift check. If blocked, run it as a local scheduled agent task instead of CI.
