v2.5.0 — Organization Ecosystem Management

Purpose: Feature specification for Organization Catalogs and Approvals. Audience: product, architecture, engineering, security, operations, documentation, release, and AI coding agents Owner: Enterprise Ecosystem Maintainers Roadmap authority: docs/strategy/FORGEVENA_VERSIONED_PRODUCT_ROADMAP.md#v250--organization-ecosystem-management Lifecycle: planned Review: before implementation and at every lifecycle promotion

Identity

  • Feature ID: organization-catalog-approvals
  • Classification: committed
  • Owner: Enterprise Ecosystem Maintainers

Purpose and Problem

Provide private catalogs, artifact approval, blocking, pinning, shared providers, and delegated administration.

Business and Developer Value

Enterprises standardize capabilities while retaining explicit governance.

Architecture

Organization overlays constrain registry resolution and Core activation through deny-overrides policy.

Dependencies

  • v2.4 publisher lifecycle
  • v1.7 policy

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

  • Approval cannot be bypassed.
  • Delegated roles honor least privilege.
  • Catalogs export and verify offline.

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

  • Administrative lockout.
  • Policy and catalog drift.

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.
