dtoro 18cb79caf9 oikos phase 0: ontology + inventory + policy seeds, OpenAPI contract, ADRs
- seeds/ontology.yaml: 59 entity types (5 abstract, is-a hierarchy), 46
  relationship types with cardinality, 6 lifecycles with terminal states
  and named precondition checks
- seeds/inventory.yaml: 110 entities / 142 relationships translated from
  legacy inventory.yaml (fleet, services, ingress, storage, governance,
  archaeology); thin spots marked for backfill
- seeds/policy.yaml: 4 risk classes, 27 approval rules (hierarchy-aware,
  per-entity overrides), autonomy kill-switch off (cold start)
- api/openapi.yaml: full v1 REST contract (40 paths), RFC 9457 errors,
  cursor pagination, idempotency, ETag/If-Match, scopes; redocly-clean
- docs/adr/0001-0010: initial architecture decision records
- scripts/validate-seeds.py: Phase 0 gate — hierarchy, lifecycles,
  endpoints, cardinality, policy cross-refs (0 errors)
- plan: layer CHECK gains 'meta' (root type), cardinality gains
  'many-to-one'

# ADR 0003 — DB-native ontology with YAML seed manifests
Status: accepted (2026-07-07) · Plan: rev 3, R3-1
## Context
Rev 1 kept inventory/ontology/policy as YAML files parsed at runtime.
Agents need graph queries (blast radius), transactional mutations with
audit, and a future UI needs to edit the model without file round-trips.
## Decision
The DB is the runtime source of truth. entity_types form an is-a hierarchy
(parent_type, is_abstract); relationship endpoint constraints may name
abstract types and validation walks the hierarchy. YAML files under seeds/
bootstrap the DB (idempotent, content-hashed via seed_versions) and serve
DR; `GET /api/v1/export` regenerates them for version control (round-trip
byte-stable, tested in CI).
## Consequences
- Ontology changes are API calls (policy-gated), not redeploys.
- Seeds can drift from DB between exports — export is part of the routine
(commit after meaningful model edits).
- Abstract types let policy rules and relationships bind once at the right
altitude (e.g. `compute-entity provides service`).
