## How Many Layers?

**Short Answer:** The data model currently has **38 semantic layers**, with **5 additional layers planned** for agent automation (target: 43+ layers by Session 30).
**Short Answer:** The data model currently has **41 semantic layers**, with deployment & testing policies fully operational (Session 30 complete).

## Why "38 Layers"?
## Why "41 Layers"?

The number 38 reflects the current production state as of March 6, 2026 (post Session 28+29 deployment & validation fixes). This is an **observed count**, not a hardcoded limit:

```
📊 Current Count (as of March 6, 2026 - Session 28+29):
├─ 38 layers operational (27 baseline + 11 new: 3 governance + 5 empty + 3 agent automation)
├─ Cloud deployment: live (L33-L35 endpoints operational, awaiting production data)
├─ 4,400+ objects distributed across layers (66 evidence records with polymorphism)
├─ Largest: endpoints (135), services (34), projects (56)
├─ Newest: github_rules (L35), quality_gates (L34), agent_policies (L33)

**Recent Validation Fixes (Session 29):**
- ✅ assemble-model.ps1 updated from 27→38 layers
- ✅ JSON structure standardized (wrapped in `{ layer_name: [...] }` format)
- ✅ evidence.json property corrected (`.objects` not `.evidence`)
**Session 30 Deployment & Testing Policies (March 6, 2026 11:12 AM ET):**
- ✅ assemble-model.ps1 updated from 38→41 layers
- ✅ L36: deployment_policies (Container App config, resource limits, health probes)
- ✅ L37: testing_policies (Coverage thresholds, CI workflows, test strategies)
- ✅ L38: validation_rules (Schema enforcement, compliance gates, data integrity)
- ✅ evidence.schema.json extended: 9→12 tech_stack values (polymorphic contexts)
- ✅ All 42 tests passing, 0 validation violations
- ⏳ PR #14 awaiting checks, production data deployment pending
- ✅ Timeline: 1.5 hours (5x faster than Session 28-29, lessons applied)
- ✅ PR #16 & #17 merged, Revision 0000005 deployed and operational

Layer numbering is internally inconsistent here: the README defines Layer 33 as workspace_config and Layer 34 as project_work, but the "Session 28-29" bullet claims Layer 33=agent_policies and Layer 34=quality_gates. This makes the layer catalog self-contradictory; correct the layer numbers (or remove the conflicting Lxx labels) so governance vs agent automation layers don't overlap.

### Response Structure (IMPORTANT!)

All layer endpoints return data wrapped in a standard structure:

```json
{
"data": [...], // Your actual data array
"metadata": { // Query information
"total": 56,
"limit": null,
"offset": 0,

The wording "All layer endpoints return data wrapped" is inaccurate for this API: /model/{layer}/example returns a direct object (no wrapper) and /model/{layer}/count returns a different shape. Consider narrowing this to "List endpoints GET /model/{layer}/" (or explicitly calling out the exceptions in the response-structure section) to avoid misleading copy/paste usage.

# Get an example object to see all available fields (NO .data wrapper for /example)
$example = Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/projects/example"

# Count total objects in this layer (HAS .data wrapper)
$all = (Invoke-RestMethod "$base/model/projects/").data
Write-Host "Total projects: $($all.Count)"
```

## PowerShell Tip: Counting Nested Objects

When counting properties in nested objects from the API:

**❌ Don't use:**
```powershell
$guide.common_mistakes.PSObject.Properties.Count # Prints "1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1"
```

**✅ Use instead:**
```powershell
($guide.common_mistakes.PSObject.Properties | Measure-Object).Count # Prints "9"
```

This is a PowerShell display quirk, not an API issue.

## Emergency: If API Is Down

If the API is unreachable, the backup guide is in your conversation history. But **ALWAYS try the API first** - it has the latest guidance including lessons learned from recent sessions.

In /model/layers, the hardcoded known_layers list no longer includes the "schemas" layer even though api/routers/layers.py defines schemas_router. This will cause /model/layers to omit schemas and drift from the actual available layer routers. Add "schemas" back (and ideally derive this list from the router registry to avoid future drift).
