Tianyi Cui 4dafad4db6 Add RFCs for the remaining quality-proposal ideas
Eight proposals grouped by category, each with problem statement,
concrete plan, and risks: property-based testing over the
protocol-shaped core (chunk streams, event logs, schema DSL);
mutation testing as the counterweight to the 100%-coverage gate;
deterministic tests + a universal replay-invariant fixture + nightly
race stress; architectural conformance (dependency-cruiser rules and
the LlmAdapter conformance kit); runtime arg validation at the model
boundary with a structured error taxonomy and dev-mode invariants;
doc-sync enforcement (typechecked doc snippets, API reports);
supply-chain checks and nightly vendor-drift verification against the
manifest; and deep-readonly public surfaces (logged-vs-in-flight
mutability boundary). AGENTS.md points at docs/adr and docs/rfc.

# RFC 007: Supply chain checks and vendor drift verification
Status: proposed
## Problem
The vendor manifest (ADR 0001) 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 `yarn npm 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.
