Project Goal¶

Build dpcs, a Rust-first implementation of the Data Pipeline Contract Standard.

The crate implements foundational DPCS specification logic through ROADMAP 0.13.0:

Canonical Object Model
YAML and JSON parsing
Validation phases
Diagnostics
Pipeline graph validation
Contract reference model (deep resolve + nested pipelines)
Data Flow and Control Flow validation
Pipeline Plan generation
Orchestrator Capability Model (profiles and matching)
Orchestrator Binding (scaffold adapters + structured semantics)
Compatibility analysis
Versioning / extensibility / registries (document model + reference network API)
Conformance claims and Appendix E suite
Security and governance metadata
Pipeline packages (.dpcspkg)
JSON Schema / OpenAPI helpers
Python and WASM bindings (PyPI dpcs, npm @eddiethedean/dpcs, Wasmer eddiethedean/dpcs)
Report renderers (Markdown / HTML / Mermaid / DOT) and rich CLI formats
Interactive TUI inspector
Performance (parallel/incremental validate, AnalysisContext, Criterion benches)
SPEC coverage matrix and diagnostic catalog
CLI
