Part II — Engineering System
last updated: 2026-03-01
This part describes how we build Scintilla Locate safely:
- Spec-Driven Development (SDD) as the core methodology
- deterministic tooling boundaries (LLMs must not do crypto/encoding)
- agentic workflows under governance
- conformance and reproducibility requirements for dispute-grade replay
Recommended reading path (45–60 minutes)
- Spec-Driven Development (SDD) — doctrine and why protocols need it.
- SDD + AI Operating Model — roles, gates, and machine-checkable workflows.
- Protocol Change Process — required artifacts and acceptance criteria.
- Orchestrator Architecture — planner → builder → verifier, run ledger, policy routing.
- Jira Agent Workflows — how intent becomes gated work.
- Determinism & Verification — canonical encoding, conformance corpus, reproducibility.
What you can do after Part II
- Run an end-to-end “proposal → artifacts → verification → PR” workflow (without merging)
- Evaluate whether a change preserves determinism and auditability
- Build CI rules that fail on drift
