Azazel-Fabric Contract

Development codename: COVENANT — the binding agreement the series’ products sign. Codenames follow the series convention (see Naming Convention) and never appear in formal external naming.

Formal series designation: Azazel-Fabric Contract, series number AZ-05. Formerly Azazel-Common; see Naming Convention for the ratified decision.

Subtitle: Shared contracts and interoperability foundation for the Azazel System.

Azazel-Fabric holds the shared schemas, state representations, and exchange contracts — the series’ common language. It is deliberately not a decision core; “Core” was avoided so it cannot be mistaken for an execution center above the arbiter.

Role

The shared contracts library for the Azazel series — the common language spoken across products. It is deliberately not a decision core: it holds no arbiter, evaluator, or execution logic.

Doctrine Implementation Focus

Provides shared schemas and contracts so each product can interoperate without importing another product’s decision logic.
Enforces doctrine at the type boundary: the CTI advisory envelope carries an advisory-only invariant, and directive-shaped fields are rejected by validators.
Single dependency (pydantic v2) and tag-pinned versioning so consumers pin an exact release.

Modules

schema: StateSnapshot, ModeState, ActionIntent, AuditEvent, TrustCapsule, DecisionExplanation.
cti_contracts: the CTI advisory envelope with an enforced advisory-only invariant.
view: StatusView, the shared status view-model.

Consumer Status

Azazel-Gadget: current GitHub main (7aeb923) declares the stable Fabric pin v0.8.0 in requirements.txt and uses the StatusView boundary. This source declaration is not a production-deployment certification.
Azazel-Edge: current GitHub main declares the optional candidate pin v0.9.0rc4; the arbiter remains usable without Fabric.
Azazel-Knowledge Advisor: current GitHub main declares optional v0.9.0rc2 for its API boundary; the core remains dependency-minimal.
Azazel-Deception: current GitHub main declares candidate v0.9.0rc4.
Azazel-Nexus / Azazel-Boot: current GitHub main declares optional pins v0.9.0rc2 and v0.9.0rc1, respectively.

Package and License

Distribution name azazel-fabric, import as azazel_fabric (from v0.3.0; the v0.1.0/v0.2.0 tags keep the former azazel-common / azazel_common identifiers). The latest stable tag observed is v0.8.0; v0.9.0rc5 is a candidate, not a stable release.
