| 3 | +**Date**: 2026-02-28 14:33 ET (original); 2026-02-28 18:30 ET (v1.1.0) |
| 4 | +**Version**: 1.1.0 |
| 5 | +**Status**: Design Phase -- revised per Opus 4.6 review |
| 6 | +**Scope**: 31 data model layers (endpoints, containers, screens, hooks, projects, sprints, connections, wbs, etc.) |

| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## What Are "Layers"? |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The EVA Data Model API manages **31 distinct entity types (layers)**, not source code repositories: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- **Technical**: endpoints, containers, services, schemas, hooks, components, agents |
| 17 | +- **UI**: screens, literals, prompts |
| 18 | +- **Governance**: **projects** (53 numbered EVA projects), **wbs** (work breakdown), **sprints** (execution records), milestones, risks |
| 19 | +- **Integration**: **connections** (ADO/GitHub/Azure APIs), planes, environments |
| 20 | +- **Security**: personas, feature_flags, requirements, security_controls |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +This FK enhancement connects these 31 layers relationally. Example: sprint -> wbs -> endpoints -> containers -> projects (5-layer FK chain). |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +--- |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## TL;DR: What This Means for 51-ACA |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The proposed FK enhancement transforms the Data Model API from **loose string arrays** into **explicit PK/FK relationships with versioning**. This directly enables your stated goals: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +> "i plan using IaC from UI, build pipelines, workflows, schedule submit jobs" |
| 31 | +> -- User, 2026-02-28 |
| 32 | +
|
| 33 | +### What You Get |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. **IaC from UI** ✅ |
| 36 | + - Click "Export Infrastructure" in admin UI -> Auto-generates Bicep/Terraform |
| 37 | + - Walk FK graph, emit deployment scripts |
| 38 | + - Validate with PSRule before deploying |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +2. **Build Pipelines** ✅ |
| 41 | + - Auto-generate Azure Pipelines YAML from FK graph |
| 42 | + - Topological sort ensures correct deployment order (containers before endpoints) |
| 43 | + - FK violations block pipeline (shift-left testing) |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +3. **Workflows** ✅ |
| 46 | + - Schedule Cosmos sync jobs with FK-driven dependency resolution |
| 47 | + - Example: "Sync jobs container, then job_history (depends on jobs)" |
| 48 | + - Retry failed steps with FK integrity validation |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +4. **Scenarios** ✅ |
| 51 | + - Test branch deployments before merging to main |
| 52 | + - "What if I add this new endpoint?" -> FK graph shows full impact |
| 53 | + - Rollback if deployment fails (version snapshots) |
| 54 | + |

| 57 | +## Use Case: 51-ACA Sprint Automation Enhanced |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Today (Port 8055 Local Instance) |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```powershell |
| 62 | +# Query sprint data |
| 63 | +$sprint = Invoke-RestMethod "http://localhost:8055/model/sprints/51-ACA-sprint-02" |
| 64 | +# Returns: velocity, MTI, story IDs (loose coupling) |
| 65 | +
|
| 66 | +# To deploy sprint changes: |
| 67 | +# 1. Manually read PLAN.md to understand dependencies |
| 68 | +# 2. Manually write Bicep files |
| 69 | +# 3. Manually order deployment steps |
| 70 | +# 4. Manually validate FK integrity |
| 71 | +# 5. Cross fingers and deploy |
| 72 | +``` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### Tomorrow (FK Enhanced + Versioning) |
| 75 | + |

| 107 | +$pipeline | Out-File ".azure-pipelines/sprint-02-deploy.yml" |
| 108 | +
|
| 109 | +# Step 6: Merge scenario to main (atomic) |
| 110 | +Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/scenarios/$($scenario.id)/merge" -Method POST |
| 111 | +# All FK graph changes committed together (no partial state) |
| 112 | +

| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +**What Changed:** |
| 118 | +- ❌ BEFORE: 5 manual steps, 30 minutes, error-prone |
| 119 | +- ✅ AFTER: 7 API calls, 2 minutes, FK-validated |

| 166 | + |
| 167 | +--- |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +## Recommended 51-ACA Actions |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +### Short-Term (Sprint 2) |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +1. **Read FK enhancement research**: [FK-ENHANCEMENT-RESEARCH-2026-02-28.md](FK-ENHANCEMENT-RESEARCH-2026-02-28.md) |
| 174 | +2. **Document current dependencies**: Which WBS items depend on which endpoints/containers? |
| 175 | +3. **Identify IaC needs**: What infrastructure do you deploy manually today? |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +### Medium-Term (Sprint 3-5) |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +1. **Test scenario API** (Phase 1B, June 2026) |
| 180 | + - Create test scenario: "What if I add submit_job endpoint?" |
| 181 | + - Validate impact before implementing |
| 182 | +2. **Adopt IaC generation** (Phase 1B) |
| 183 | + - Replace manual Bicep files with auto-generated IaC |
| 184 | + - Store generated IaC in git: `deploy/sprint-XX-infra.bicep` |
| 185 | +3. **Migrate 1 sprint to FK-enhanced workflow** (pilot) |
| 186 | + - Sprint 3: Traditional workflow |
| 187 | + - Sprint 4: FK-enhanced workflow (scenario -> validate -> merge -> deploy) |
| 188 | + - Compare: Time saved, errors caught, rollback ease |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +### Long-Term (Sprint 6+) |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +1. **Full FK adoption** (Phase 5, September 2026) |
| 193 | + - All 676 objects migrated to explicit FK relationships |
| 194 | + - Port 8055 instance syncs FK graph to ACA Cosmos |
| 195 | + - Sprint automation fully FK-driven: |
| 196 | + * Story -> WBS -> Endpoints -> Containers (explicit FKs) |
| 197 | + * Auto-detect dependencies from FK graph |
| 198 | + * Generate deployment order automatically |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +2. **Workflow orchestration** |
| 201 | + - Schedule nightly Cosmos sync: `sync-51aca-data` |
| 202 | + - FK-driven dependency order: Sync base containers before derived views |
| 203 | + - FK integrity validation after each sync step |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +3. **UI enhancements in 31-eva-faces** |
| 206 | + - Dependency graph visualizer: See full WBS tree |
| 207 | + - Delete impact preview: "This will break 3 sprint stories" |
| 208 | + - Relationship navigation: Click endpoint -> see all screens that call it |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +--- |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +## Risk Mitigation for 51-ACA |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +### Risk 1: Port 8055 Isolation |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +**Concern**: 51-ACA uses isolated port 8055 instance, not shared ACA Cosmos. |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +**Mitigation**: |
| 219 | +- FK enhancement supports multi-instance architecture (MODEL_DIR env var) |
| 220 | +- Port 8055 can opt-in to FK relationships independently |
| 221 | +- No forced migration to ACA Cosmos |
| 222 | +- **Your isolation is preserved** |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +### Risk 2: Sprint Automation Disruption |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +**Concern**: FK migration might break existing sprint automation. |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +**Mitigation**: |
| 229 | +- Phase 1-4: FK relationships are **optional** (opt-in per object) |
| 230 | +- Existing string arrays continue working until Phase 5 (September 2026) |
| 231 | +- 6-month transition period (May-September 2026) |
| 232 | +- Backward compatibility: Both string arrays AND FKs supported during transition |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +### Risk 3: Learning Curve |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +**Concern**: Team must learn new FK API routes. |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +**Mitigation**: |
| 239 | +- Phase 1B includes comprehensive documentation |
| 240 | +- Auto-generated code examples for common scenarios |
| 241 | +- Pilot sprint (Sprint 4) with full support from data model team |
| 242 | +- Fallback: Keep using port 8055 local instance if FK adoption blocked |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +--- |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +## Example: Sprint 02 Deploy Workflow (FK-Enhanced) |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +**User Request:** |
| 249 | +> "Deploy Sprint 02 features (15 stories) to staging environment" |
| 250 | +
|
| 251 | +**Traditional Workflow (Manual, 30 mins):** |
| 252 | +1. Read PLAN.md, identify new endpoints |
| 253 | +2. Write Bicep files for new Cosmos containers |
| 254 | +3. Manually order deployment steps |
| 255 | +4. Deploy Bicep |
| 256 | +5. Deploy API code |
| 257 | +6. Update frontend |
| 258 | +7. Run smoke tests |
| 259 | +8. Hope nothing broke |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +**FK-Enhanced Workflow (Automated, 5 mins):** |
| 262 | +```powershell |
| 263 | +# 1. Create scenario (branch FK graph) |
| 264 | +$scenario = Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/scenarios/create" -Method POST -Body '{"name":"sprint-02","base_version":"main@v676"}' |
| 265 | +
|
| 266 | +# 2. Auto-populate scenario from PLAN.md (new script) |
| 267 | +pwsh -File "C:\AICOE\eva-foundry\51-ACA\scripts\sync-sprint-to-scenario.ps1" -SprintId "51-ACA-sprint-02" -ScenarioId $scenario.id |
| 268 | +
|
| 269 | +# 3. Validate (impact analysis) |
| 270 | +$validation = Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/scenarios/$($scenario.id)/validate" -Method POST |
| 271 | +if ($validation.breaking_changes.Count -gt 0) { |
| 272 | + Write-Error "Blocked: $($validation.breaking_changes -join ', ')" |
| 273 | + exit 1 |
| 274 | +} |
| 275 | +
|
| 276 | +# 4. Generate IaC + Pipeline |
| 277 | +Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/iac/generate?scenario=$($scenario.id)&format=bicep" | Out-File "deploy/sprint-02.bicep" |
| 278 | +Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/pipelines/generate?scenario=$($scenario.id)&format=azure-pipelines" | Out-File ".azure-pipelines/sprint-02.yml" |
| 279 | +
|
| 280 | +# 5. Deploy via Azure Pipelines (FK-aware deployment order) |
| 281 | +az pipelines run --name "sprint-02" --branch "feature/sprint-02" |
| 282 | +
|
| 283 | +# 6. If success -> Merge scenario to main (atomic) |
| 284 | +Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/scenarios/$($scenario.id)/merge" -Method POST |
| 285 | +
|
| 286 | +# 7. If failure -> Rollback (restore snapshot) |
| 287 | +$snapshot = Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/snapshots/create" -Method POST -Body '{"name":"pre-sprint-02"}' |
| 288 | +Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/snapshots/$($snapshot.id)/restore" -Method POST |
| 289 | +``` |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +**Comparison:** |
| 292 | +- Traditional: 30 minutes, manual steps, no rollback |
| 293 | +- FK-Enhanced: 5 minutes, fully automated, one-click rollback |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +--- |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +## Next Steps |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +1. **Read full research**: [FK-ENHANCEMENT-RESEARCH-2026-02-28.md](FK-ENHANCEMENT-RESEARCH-2026-02-28.md) |
| 300 | +2. **Provide feedback**: Does this address your IaC/pipeline/workflow needs? |
| 301 | +3. **Pilot planning**: Can we pilot FK-enhanced workflow in Sprint 4? |
| 302 | +4. **Document dependencies**: Start documenting WBS -> endpoint -> container dependencies for FK migration |
| 303 | + |
