Original Specification

Architecture

System context, container & component views, data-flow sequence diagrams, topic design, deployment topology, and the key architectural decisions with rationale.

Use Cases

Actors, a use case diagram, and 15 detailed use cases covering intake, fan-out, failure recovery, DLQ handling, contract definition, adapter attachment, monitoring, and replay.

Data Model

The fixed canonical envelope and per-contract payloads, contract definitions and the registry schema, the DLQ envelope, target storage models, and evolution rules.

Implementation Plan

An XP-based, re-sequenced release roadmap covering the full platform — backlog, acceptance criteria, engineering practices, Definition of Done, and risk register.

Phased Rollout

Each release broken into small, sequential, checkbox-tracked phases — the working execution checklist for actually building the system.

Generalization Strategy

Why the platform stopped being intern-specific — the two deployment paths, the envelope/payload split, the landing-table trade-off, and the doc-by-doc migration that produced 01–05 in their current form.
