artifact-store

Generic artifact registry and storage gateway for generated outputs, evidence packages, reports, logs, snapshots, exports, and release artifacts.

The registry owns artifact identity, metadata, provenance, retention policy, and retrieval records. Bytes are delegated to configured storage backends (local filesystem in v1, S3-compatible / Ceph RGW next).

The shape is library-first (artifactstore Python package); the HTTP server and the CLI are thin consumers. Content is addressed by digest; state is authoritative in an append-only event log; materialised views are rebuildable.

Status

Scaffold landed. The core kernels and local FS backend follow in the remaining tasks of WP-0001.

Develop

Requires Python ≥ 3.12 and uv on the path.

make install        # uv sync --all-extras
cp .env.example .env

make dev            # uvicorn artifactstore.api.http:app --reload
make test           # pytest
make lint           # ruff check + ruff format --check
make type           # mypy --strict
make migrate        # alembic upgrade head (configured in WP-0001-T002)

The dev server listens on 127.0.0.1:8000. The scaffold root route returns {"service": "artifact-store", "status": "scaffold"}; the real /health endpoint lands in WP-0001-T014.
