Railiance Fabric
Railiance Fabric defines the repo-owned declaration model for the Railiance ecosystem graph.
It will hold schemas, seed declarations, validation tools, graph queries, and State Hub export contracts for services, capabilities, interfaces, dependencies, and bindings across Railiance repositories.
Validate Declarations
From a checkout with the Python dependencies installed:
railiance-fabric validate .
During early bootstrapping, the local module entry point works too:
PYTHONPATH=. python -m railiance_fabric.cli validate .
The validator loads fabric/ declarations, checks schema conformance, verifies
catalog type names, catches missing references/providers, checks active
production dependency source links, and warns about dependency cycles.
Query The Graph
railiance-fabric providers runtime-secrets
railiance-fabric consumers railiance-platform.openbao.kv-v2
railiance-fabric dependency-path flex-auth.api
railiance-fabric unresolved
railiance-fabric blast-radius openbao-kv-v2-mount
railiance-fabric export --format json
railiance-fabric export --format mermaid
railiance-fabric export --format graph-explorer
See docs/discovery-queries.md for command details.
Adopt In Another Repo
See docs/adoption-guide.md for the declaration workflow and
docs/first-rollout.md for the initial Railiance repo rollout.
Next: Ecosystem Registry Service
See docs/ecosystem-registry-service.md for the standards comparison and
service direction for registering repos and interacting with the combined
ecosystem model. See docs/registry-api.md for the current registry HTTP API.
Start the first registry service slice with:
railiance-fabric-registry --db .railiance-fabric/registry.sqlite3 --port 8765
The initial service exposes repository registration, graph snapshot ingestion, artifact attachment, graph query endpoints, State Hub export, and early Backstage/xRegistry projection endpoints. It stores snapshots in SQLite and reuses the Fabric graph export shape.
Feed the running service from this checkout:
railiance-fabric registry sync --repo-slug railiance-fabric .
Or register and sync the known local Railiance ecosystem repos from the onboarding manifest:
railiance-fabric registry sync-manifest registry/railiance-repos.yaml
To onboard every active State Hub repo with an available local checkout on this host:
railiance-fabric registry sync-manifest registry/local-repos.yaml
Ingest a CycloneDX SBOM as queryable library inventory:
railiance-fabric registry ingest-cyclonedx bom.json --repo-slug railiance-fabric
Useful inspection endpoints include:
GET /repositories/{repo_slug}/inventory
GET /repositories/{repo_slug}/snapshots
GET /repositories/{repo_slug}/snapshots/diff
GET /search?q=jsonschema
GET /ui/graph-explorer
GET /exports/graph-explorer/manifest
GET /exports/graph-explorer
See docs/registry-onboarding.md for the multi-repo manifest and operating
loop.
The graph explorer export is the first executable slice of the interactive
Fabric map. See docs/graph-explorer-transfer-review.md for the repo-scoping
transfer review, docs/graph-explorer-contract.md for the shared manifest and
payload contract, and docs/graph-explorer-operations.md for launch, refresh,
verification, and extraction guidance.
