Part of #78.

The two records take 0121 and 0122, not 0120 and 0121: root ADR 0120 landed on main in #123 while this branch was open, and test/adr-contract.test.ts refuses a number used in both registers.

What this branch does

Records two decisions for the model-driven implementation. No module moves, no packaging changes, no Kotlin enters the build; both ADRs are status: proposed.

0121: the parity suite reaches the pipeline through its file interface. ParityTest imports Pipeline, Parsed and Diagnostic from cli/ and Descriptor and ProjectIntentPackage from metamodel/. Those resolve from p2, so parity/pom.xml is eclipse-plugin packaging while emf/docs/architecture.md says a module needing no p2 bundle stays a plain jar. That drift is live on main: one suite reaching past the pipeline's interface pulled the Eclipse toolchain into the module whose job is to be free of it. The decision narrows the test surface to what the parity contract already compares — files.

0122: bundles/ and tests/ are separate tiers. Five modules are graded artefacts an examiner opens in Eclipse; one is this repository's own evidence, run only by Maven. The flat listing says which is which nowhere. The split is also a language boundary: Ecore generates Java, Xtext's runtime hooks are Java, and a bundle compiles through JDT against a target platform holding no Kotlin unit, so bundles/ stays Java. tests/ has none of those constraints, and every other JVM repository in the estate is Kotlin.

Decisions worth naming

  • cli is tried by name, not by category. It is the module that looks like the Kotlin candidate, since no teacher runs it as an Eclipse project. It stays Java: it calls the EMF, OCL, QVTo and Acceleo standalone APIs, all resolved from p2, so it is a bundle by its dependencies whatever language it is written in. Kotlin would reach it only as a launcher around the Java pipeline.
  • 0121 names two ways this could ship a gate that stops enforcing. ArchitectureTest is @AnalyzeClasses(packages = "dev.jorisjonkers.deploykit.emf") with .withOptionalLayers(true), and sees the other modules only through parity/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF's Require-Bundle. Dropping that leaves every other layer empty-and-optional, and EMF-010 and EMF-011 green while proving nothing. So: a non-empty-import assertion, a per-case output-file assertion, and the fixture ADR 0104 requires.
  • 0122 names ADR 0114 rather than contradicting it quietly. Three of its six witnesses are ParityTest methods; the other three sit in bundles and stay Java. The word that changes is "Java", not the rule.
  • The normative document keeps describing the tree it has. emf/docs/architecture.md still prints the six flat modules and parity/ as a bundle, with each decision beside it as a > **Proposed, not landed:** note. Writing the future tree there in the present tense is the drift 0121 exists to close.

What this does not do yet

The move, the packaging change and the Kotlin port. Both ADRs carry that cost in Consequences, the rule ledger first: Ledgers.checkRules fails the build the moment a row's named file is not where the row says. emf/docs/ is untouched otherwise, so a reader who finds the documents spread out is finding a different problem.

Verification

  • node scripts/lint-adrs.ts emf: 12 files clean.
  • npm run lint:links: 188 files clean, both new ADRs tracked — it enumerates through git ls-files, so untracked files are invisible to it.
  • npm run lint:meaning: 167 files clean.
  • npm run lint:secrets: no leaks.
  • Numbering checked against both registers; 0119 was the highest taken.

Record two decisions for the model-driven implementation.

0120 puts the parity suite on the pipeline's file interface. The suite
imports Pipeline, Parsed, Diagnostic and Descriptor today, which is why
parity/ is an eclipse-plugin bundle while the architecture says a module
needing no p2 bundle stays a plain jar. Moving the suite onto the files
the pipeline writes closes that drift and narrows the test surface to the
one an examiner exercises from a launch configuration.

0121 splits the tree into bundles/ for what Tycho builds and Eclipse
imports and tests/ for what only Maven runs, and makes the second tier
Kotlin. Ecore generates Java and a bundle compiles through JDT against a
target platform with no Kotlin unit, so the bundle tier stays Java.

Both are proposed, and the tree is unchanged: emf/docs/architecture.md
describes the flat modules it still has and carries each decision as a
"proposed, not landed" note beside the section it will rewrite.

Implementation is tracked in #127, a sub-issue of #78: #128 (emit the files), #129 (move the suite onto them, de-bundle the module), #130 (split the tiers), #131 (port the tier to Kotlin). #132 proves the examiner's Eclipse import before the Task 1 deadline, independently of all four.

#78 is amended for both decisions, and #105 is rewritten to the one rule #122 left it.

test/emdash.test.ts refuses an em-dash in tracked text, and 0120

test/emdash.test.ts refuses an em-dash in tracked text, and the note

Root ADR 0120 landed on main in #123 while this branch took 0120 for the
parity seam, and test/adr-contract.test.ts refuses a number used in both
registers. The branch alone is green, so the collision only appears against
merged main. The parity seam becomes 0121 and the two tiers 0122, the next
two numbers free in either register, with every citation moved with them.

* feat: write the parsed intent, the diagnostics and the descriptor as files the build leaves behind

A run of the pipeline now leaves behind everything the parity contract
compares, as files, in the canonical JSON the oracles are committed in. For
every case under spec/v1/examples/, Outputs writes the parsed intent or the
diagnostics that refused it, beside the exit code the run ended on, under
cli/target/parity in a tree that mirrors the example tree, so a written file
and its oracle are obviously a pair. DescriptorFile writes the source
metamodel's descriptor from the same reflective walk Descriptor already
performs, under metamodel/target/parity. Neither file is committed.

The canonical JSON writer moves down to metamodel/, the lowest module that
writes a canonical file, because the pipeline now writes what the parity
suite used to serialise. The parity suites are otherwise untouched: this is
the expand half of the move recorded in 0120, so a wrong output shape is
caught here rather than after the suites depend on it.

Closes #128.

* refactor: move the parity suite onto the pipeline's file interface

The suite decides every case from the files a run leaves behind and the exit
code beside them, so it holds no EMF type, calls nothing, and needs nothing
from the target platform. The module becomes a plain jar: its
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and build.properties are gone, and it declares the test
libraries the parent's bundle profile used to give it. Each case asserts its
file exists before comparing it, so a file the run owes and did not write
fails as a missing file rather than as a skipped case (0120).

Two gates had to survive that change rather than quietly stop enforcing.
ArchitectureTest saw the other modules only because the manifest required
them; with no dependency left it reads their class directories by path
instead. Because withOptionalLayers excuses an empty layer, EMF-010 and
EMF-011 would then pass on an empty import while proving nothing, so EMF-017
fails when a module whose classes the build wrote is missing from the import.
All three now fail on a fixture that breaks them, as 0104 requires, and the
layered rule no longer names the parity layer as a permitted accessor.

Also removes an em-dash the decision record carried, which test/emdash.test.ts
refuses.

Closes #129.

* refactor: split emf/ into a bundle tier and a test tier

The listing now says which modules a course examiner opens. `bundles/` holds
the five Tycho builds Eclipse imports; `tests/` holds the parity tier Maven
alone runs, which by 0120 holds no EMF type and needs nothing from the target
platform. The directory names stay short, since Eclipse names an imported
project from its `artifactId` regardless (0121).

Every document that names a module by its old path moves with it: the rule
ledger, whose EMF-014 check fails the build the moment a row's named file is
not where the row says, the witness list, this tree's architecture, two
decision records, the refusal examples' README, the root architecture, and the
two root tests that name a parity path in a comment and in a fixture string.
`emf/README.md` gains the table that says which artefact lives where and which
task grades it.

Two things the move would have broken quietly. The module POMs now sit two
directories below the parent, so each declares its `relativePath`, and
`scripts/lint-codes.ts` matched `emf/<module>/src/test/` one segment deep,
which would have stopped counting a Java test as exercising a code for the
whole tree rather than only for the tier that moved.

Closes #130.

* refactor: port the test tier to Kotlin, with the gates the estate runs on it

`tests/parity` is written in the estate's JVM language, with the idiom its
other repositories already use: JUnit 5, AssertJ, ArchUnit, and a test
function named as a sentence in backticks. The bundle tier stays Java, because
Ecore generates Java, Xtext's runtime hooks are Java, and a bundle compiles
through JDT against a target platform holding no Kotlin unit (0121).

The gates move with it. Spotless gains a ktlint step over `src/*/kotlin`, and
EMF-018 is its ledger row. The Kotlin compiler runs with `-Werror`, which is
EMF-006's rule in the compiler this tier uses. The coverage floor holds
unchanged.

The mutation threshold also stands at 100, which needed one thing rather than
a decision to lower it: `kotlinc` emits a null check for every platform type
crossing into Kotlin and a `closeFinally` for every `use`, and removing either
call is an equivalent mutation, not an uncovered one, so pitest is told not to
mutate calls to them. That is the same treatment `bundles/cli` already gives
the one-off OCL language registration.

The word that changes in 0114 is "Java", not the rule: a witness is a JUnit
test in whichever language its module is written, so `Ledgers.checkWitnesses`
now reads a `.kt` function and a `.java` method alike, three of the six
witnesses name Kotlin functions and three name Java methods, and a new fixture
proves a Java witness in a bundle is still found. The decision record, the
witness list, EMF-013's row and the gates sentence say so.

Closes #131.

* docs: follow the two records to the numbers they landed on

Root ADR 0120 landed on main in #123 while #126 was open, so the parity seam
became 0121 and the two tiers 0122 in that pull request. This moves the
citations that live here: the slugged links, the `docs/adr/emf/NNNN` form a
pom comment and a javadoc line use, and the number in a link's own text.
