OpenFederatedCompiler: Privacy-Preserving Cross-Device Policy Compiler (MVP)

This repository implements a production-oriented, privacy-preserving policy compiler MVP designed to federate policy translation across edge devices. The MVP focuses on a canonical contract language, a Graph-of-Contracts registry for adapters, a CRDT-like delta-sync mechanism for offline updates, and a portable codegen backend scaffolding.

Key concepts implemented in this MVP:

• LocalPolicy, SharedVariables, PlanDelta and related primitives as seed artifacts
• A tiny CRDT-style merge engine to apply PlanDelta to LocalPolicy
• Graph-of-Contracts registry skeleton for adapter versioning and domain compatibility
• TLS-ready abstraction scaffolding for secure transport (conceptual in this MVP)
• Back-end stubs for codegen (C, Rust, MicroPython) via a simple placeholder layer

How to use:

• Run tests via: bash test.sh
• The package is structured for production-grade extension; see AGENTS.md for contribution guidance.

This project is intended as a robust foundation rather than a finished product. It demonstrates the architecture and safety guarantees needed for interoperable, privacy-preserving policy enforcement across heterogeneous edge ecosystems.

Developer notes:

• Language: Python (production-friendly, extensive library support)
• Packaging: pyproject.toml with setuptools
• Entry points: None yet (core library focus with tests)

See AGENTS.md for architecture details and contribution guidelines.
