Repo A DDC Policy and Selftest Gate

Use this skill to run required pre-PR validation in <PRIVATE_REPO_A>.

Workflow

Review AGENTS.md, INSTRUCTIONS.md, and policy manifests before coding.
Run lint/type gates.
Run mesh-ready selftest against config/device_policy.json.
Run focused tests for changed modules.
Ensure policy/config changes remain documented and intentional.

Scope Boundary

Use this skill for <PRIVATE_REPO_A> policy/selftest acceptance gates only.

Do not use this skill for:

<PRIVATE_REPO_C> policy/schema or trace/ranking contracts.
General boundary-governance checks in other repos.
Runtime bridge or hardware troubleshooting lanes.

Required Commands

Run from <PRIVATE_REPO_A> root:

ruff check .
mypy repo_a_node
python -m repo_a_node --policy config/device_policy.json --selftest config/mesh_ready_selftest.yaml
pytest -q

Policy Safety Notes

Never hardcode secrets, URLs, or policy overrides.
Do not relax canary/redundancy defaults without docs and policy updates.
Keep governance boundaries aligned with BOUNDARIES.md.

Route back through $skill-hub for chain recalculation.
Resume only after the updated chain returns a deterministic next step.
