A Pack is read from a named perspective

actor

A reviewer or an agent who reads a Pack for one concern, such as the domain model, operations or the runtime platform.

problem

Every reading of a Pack shows every member in the same order with the same emphasis, so a reader with one concern sorts it by hand, and an adopter keeps its perspectives as prose briefs the graph cannot apply.

outcome

Let a reviewer read the same Pack from one perspective at a time, filtered and ordered for that perspective, without a new kind or a stage.

rule.contentIntact line 22 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:22

A perspective filters and orders a Pack's members and leaves each selected member's content intact; every row opens the same Spec, and the whole Pack stays one step away.

no example exercises it

rule line 23 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:23

A perspective adds no kind, readiness, stage or sequence; reading a Pack from one perspective records nothing, and no perspective is required before another or before ready is stated.

rule line 24 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:24

The corpus owns its perspectives and their questions; the Protocol supplies the filter and ships no list of perspectives.

rule line 25 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:25

A perspective is corpus data: a JSON object the corpus keeps beside its briefs and passes to the perspective filter, a catalog recipe, through --params. The reader loads no perspective file, and no validator lists or checks perspectives, so no registry forms.

rule line 26 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:26

A perspective selects members by Spec id or id prefix, kind, section presence, Design key with an optional value, question key, and authored relation type with a stated direction; it selects component layer or context only through the member's code unit bindings, satisfying or referencing, that the perspective names; it infers nothing from prose, paths or imports.

rule line 27 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:27

A member selected by a Design key, including the layer and context keys a component design states, is selected on declared intent; a member selected through a binding's component is selected on anchored structure; each row names which, and the two are never merged into one architecture answer.

rule line 28 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:28

Values within one selector are alternatives and different selectors combine as requirements; an unsupported selector is a diagnostic in the result, and a valid selector that matches nothing is an explicit empty result.

rule line 29 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:29

Members keep the manifest's authored order unless the perspective gives an explicit priority order, authored order breaking ties; every selected member's blocking questions stay visible whatever else the perspective filters out.

7 unkeyed rules.

perspectiveObject line 33 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:33

{ "name": "models", "select": { "kinds": ["model"] } } selects the members of kind model. A perspective is { name, select, order } with select and order optional, and its selectors are ids, idPrefixes, kinds, sections, designKeys, questionKeys, relations and bindings, each optional; different selectors combine as requirements. An absent selector imposes no requirement, a present empty list matches no member, and an absent or empty select object selects every member. A designKeys item is { key, value } with value optional; a relations item is { type, direction, target } with direction out or in and target optional; bindings is { via, layers, contexts }, where via is required and lists satisfies or references, and absent layers or contexts impose no restriction. order lists Spec ids by priority, authored order breaking ties.

perspectiveRecipe line 34 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:34

recipe 37, the perspective filter, takes params.pack and params.perspective and returns { pack, perspective, totals: { members, selected }, diagnostics, selected, notSelected }.

perspectiveRows line 35 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:35

each selected row is { id, matchedOn: [{ selector, value, claim }], blockingQuestions: [{ address, question }] } in the perspective's order and then authored order; claim is declared for a match on authored intent and anchored for a match through a binding; notSelected lists the remaining member ids in authored order.

perspectiveDiagnostics line 36 · specs/consumers/review-perspectives.sdp.md:36

an unknown selector, a value of the wrong type or a bindings selector with no via is a diagnostic row { selector, problem }, and the recipe still applies the selectors it understood.
