Create complete Python repository scaffold for litmus-governance

[Copilot]

Initialize comprehensive repository structure for a deterministic governance tool that produces auditable decision artifacts from repository snapshots.

Structure Added

Core Package

• Package: src/litmus_governance/ with CLI entrypoint via __main__.py
• Type Checking: py.typed marker for PEP 561 compliance
• Tests: tests/ directory with placeholder test file and conftest.py for pytest configuration

Configuration Files

• Package Config: pyproject.toml with complete metadata, script entrypoint, project URLs, pytest config, and coverage settings
• Build System: setup.py for backward compatibility and MANIFEST.in for distribution files
• Multi-environment Testing: tox.ini for testing across Python 3.8-3.12
• Version Management: .python-version specifying Python 3.8.0
• Dependencies: requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt for alternative dependency specification

Development Tools

• Build Automation: Makefile with commands for install, test, lint, clean, and build
• Code Style: .editorconfig for consistent editor configuration
• Pre-commit Hooks: .pre-commit-config.yaml with standard quality checks
• Gitignore: Python-specific exclusions

Documentation

• README: Section headings only (Overview, Installation, Usage, Development, Testing, License)
• Contributing: CONTRIBUTING.md with contribution guidelines structure
• Changelog: CHANGELOG.md for version tracking
• Docs Directory: docs/README.md with documentation structure

CI/CD

• GitHub Actions: Workflow for Python 3.8-3.12 with minimal contents: read permissions

CLI Entrypoint

# Accessible via: litmus-governance or python -m litmus_governance
def main():
    """Main CLI entrypoint."""
    pass

All modules contain empty implementations. No logic, algorithms, or heuristics included per requirements. The scaffold includes 23 files providing a production-ready Python project structure.

Original prompt

Create a minimal Python repository scaffold for a deterministic governance tool called "litmus-governance".
Include a CLI entrypoint, empty module structure, tests directory, CI placeholder, Apache 2.0 license, and README with section headings only.
Do not implement any logic.
Do not add example algorithms, heuristics, or analysis code.
This repository will produce deterministic, auditable decision artifacts from repository snapshots.

I've completed a thorough review and added the missing standard Python project scaffold files. Here's what was added in commits 5a46a43, b310f5b, and 887a774:

Standard Configuration Files:

• MANIFEST.in - Distribution file specification
• setup.py - Backward compatibility for editable installs
• .editorconfig - Editor configuration for consistent code style
• .python-version - Python version specification (3.8.0)
• tox.ini - Multi-environment testing configuration
• requirements.txt & requirements-dev.txt - Alternative dependency specs

Development Tools:

• .pre-commit-config.yaml - Pre-commit hooks configuration
• Makefile - Build automation with convenient commands (install, test, lint, clean, build)
• tests/conftest.py - Pytest configuration and fixtures
• Coverage configuration in pyproject.toml

Documentation Structure:

• CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guidelines (section headings)
• CHANGELOG.md - Version tracking structure
• docs/README.md - Documentation directory with sections

Enhanced pyproject.toml:

• Project URLs (Homepage, Repository, Issues)
• Package data configuration (py.typed marker)
• pytest configuration
• Coverage configuration
• pytest-cov in dev dependencies

Type Checking:

• src/litmus_governance/py.typed - PEP 561 marker for type checkers

The repository now includes 23 files total with a complete, production-ready Python project structure. All files maintain minimal implementations with no logic as required.
