v1.4.0 — Production Provider Platform

Purpose: Feature specification for Provider Resilience and Compatibility. Audience: product, architecture, engineering, security, operations, documentation, release, and AI coding agents Owner: Provider Platform Maintainers Roadmap authority: docs/strategy/FORGEVENA_VERSIONED_PRODUCT_ROADMAP.md#7-v140--production-provider-platform Lifecycle: planned Review: before implementation and at every lifecycle promotion

Identity

  • Feature ID: provider-resilience-compatibility
  • Classification: committed
  • Owner: Provider Platform Maintainers

Purpose and Problem

Add deadlines, cancellation, rate-limit interpretation, jittered retries, fallback chains, budgets, and dated compatibility manifests.

Business and Developer Value

Users receive predictable failure behavior and evidence-backed support claims.

Architecture

A shared invocation policy classifies idempotency and routes only safe retries or fallbacks.

Dependencies

  • provider-adapter-contract

Configuration and User Flow

Configuration is schema-validated, secret-reference-only, previewable, exportable without secrets, and governed by scope. The user flow is inspect, preview, validate, approve, apply, verify, and roll back.

CLI, Dashboard, and API Flow

CLI, dashboard, SDK, and API surfaces call the same domain service. Structured responses include operation ID, status, warnings, planned changes, policy result, and evidence references. No interface may bypass consent or policy.

Security, Privacy, and Reliability

Permissions, data classes, trust roots, external effects, timeouts, retries, cancellation, audit, recovery, and rollback are explicit. Prompts, responses, tokens, credentials, and unapproved source content are excluded from logs and diagnostics.

Testing and Acceptance

  • Retry-After and cancellation are tested.
  • Fallback never repeats unsafe effects.
  • Compatibility evidence expires predictably.

Performance Targets

The feature must publish an approved baseline, remain within the platform's 20% regression budget, and define tighter latency, throughput, resource, and cost targets before preview.

Migration and Documentation

Migration is preview-first, versioned, reversible, and compatible with the previous two stable releases where applicable. CLI help, schemas, examples, troubleshooting, operations, security, and migration guidance ship with implementation.

Risks

  • Fallback can change semantics or cost.
  • Stale evidence can mislead users.

Future Expansion

Expansion remains in the Evidence Funnel and requires a new feature ID or approved scope change; it cannot be inferred from this specification.
