215. Vitte Platform Maturity Baseline
Objective: define the minimum evidence required to claim credible platform maturity.
Date: 2026-05-24
Maturity Conditions
Each condition below must have objective evidence.
- Progressively self-hostable compile
- Evidence: staged bootstrap artifacts, reproducible stage progression checks, documented trust root.
- Verifiable pipeline
- Evidence: deterministic step outputs, pipeline tests per stage, gate reports.
- Reliable diagnostics
- Evidence: stable code catalog, snapshot coverage, deterministic output under strict mode.
- Reproducible backend
- Evidence: same-source/same-toolchain identical outputs for covered targets.
- Stable runtime
- Evidence: runtime smoke + stress + fault-path tests and regression tracking.
- Maintainable stdlib
- Evidence: ownership map, API contracts, sync docs/tests, deprecation tags.
- Stable IDE tooling
- Evidence: LSP smoke checks, completion/hover/diag contracts and snapshots.
- Reproducible package management
- Evidence: lockfile contract, dependency resolution determinism, offline/install replay checks.
- Robust incremental compilation
- Evidence: cache hit/miss reports, invalidation tests, no stale-result regressions.
- Validated deterministic builds
- Evidence: deterministic build gates in CI + release validation report.
- Active chaos testing
- Evidence: periodic fault-injection runs with tracked and fixed outcomes.
- Active fuzzing
- Evidence: continuous parser/frontend fuzz runs and corpus growth tracking.
- Active stress testing
- Evidence: sustained workload tests with thresholds and trend history.
- Documented architecture
- Evidence: architecture pages aligned with source and checked for drift.
- Defined technical governance
- Evidence: approved governance docs and review cadence in operation.
- Possible long-term maintenance
- Evidence: windows support, deprecation and migration policy, SLO adherence triage.
Baseline Scorecard
Status section:
red: no reliable evidence or repeated regressions.amber: partial evidence; gaps block platform claim.green: evidence automated and passing in release gates.
A release can be labeled "platform-credible baseline met" only when all 16 conditions are green or when temporary amber exceptions are explicitly approved in release notes with deadlines.
