Overview

• This repository implements a production-ready, cross-organization IR orchestration MVP called GuardRailOps. It targets offline/partitioned networks with eventual reconciliation and auditable governance.

Tech stack (Python-based MVP)

• Core: Python 3.11+ (dataclasses, typing, simple cryptographic placeholders)
• Packaging: pyproject.toml with setuptools
• Tests: pytest
• Adapters: minimal SIEM/EDR adapters scaffolds

Architecture components

• LocalIRTask, SharedTelemetry, PlanDelta: core DSL primitives implemented as dataclasses
• DeltaSyncEngine: simple offline delta propagation and deterministic replay
• GovernanceLedger: append-only, cryptographically-signed entries (simulated)
• GoCRegistry: skeleton registry for Graph-of-Contracts, to be extended
• Adapters: SIEMAdapter, EDRAdapter with TLS mutual authentication hooks (simulated)

Development and testing workflow

• Run tests with test.sh (located in root)
• Packaging: build w/ python -m build via test.sh
• Use AGENTS.md guidelines to extend; avoid breaking the contract DSL unless explicitly required

Contribution rules

• Minimal, atomic changes preferred

• Add tests for new features; ensure all tests pass before merging

• Do not push to remote unless explicitly requested

• Notes

• This is a multi-organization, highway-to-production project. The MVP emphasizes determinism, data locality, and governance transparency.

• Architecture augmentation for GuardRailOps MVP (federated IR):

• 1. Governance scaffolds: GovernanceLedger, PrivacyBudget, and a minimal AuditLog flow for provenance.
• 2. Graph-of-Contracts skeleton: GoCRegistry for contract/adaptor metadata with a tiny in-memory store.
• 3. Adapters marketplace: AdapterMarketplace container to register and discover adapters (e.g., SIEM/EDR).
• 4. Existing core primitives (LocalIRTask, SharedTelemetry, PlanDelta) remain the core DSL, extended for privacy-preserving telemetry and deterministic delta-reconciliation.
