# OpenCMIS Conformance-Preparation Extension

## Overview

`open-cmis-tck` is the CMIS conformance-preparation extension for `guide-board`, keeping CMIS-specific runner code, profiles, and capability mappings out of the generic compliance framework. It produces preparation evidence to support future compatibility reviews and certification work, not certifications itself.

## Assessment notes

### Discovery

README documents the extension relationship to guide-board (external extension root, invoked via --extension-dir) and explicitly disclaims issuing certifications itself — it produces preparation evidence only.

### Availability

Python package runnable via guide-board's extension mechanism (`--extension-dir ../open-cmis-tck`); depends on a sibling guide-board checkout to function.

### Completeness

First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.

### Reliability

No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.

## Promotion checklist

- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
