# Pipeline Scaffold
## Summary
Data-driven processing is expressed as a **composition graph**. The graph is
built by a DI library; execution is driven by a DAG engine. Stages are pure and
individually testable.
---
## When to use a pipeline
Use a pipeline when a resource is produced by a **multi-step transformation**
of an input (a document, a file, a message) rather than by a simple CRUD write.
## Structure of a family
A **family** is one input shape (e.g. a file format or a message kind). Each
family has the same skeleton:
```
pipelines/<family>/
abc.py # port contracts (stage interfaces + root interface)
impl.py # concrete stages + root implementation
pipeline.yaml # graph spec: nodes, edges, roots, schema
resources/
pipeline.yaml # runtime spec consumed by the loader
patterns/*.yaml # rule fragments (pattern registry)
banks/<variant>.py # optional variants that re-pin a few slots
```
## Shared scaffolding
```
pipelines/shared/
ports.py # RegistryPort, FinalizePort, etc.
loader.py # build(root_cls) -> wires the graph + engine
registry.py # resolve_root(...) -> root class for a (kind, variant)
```
## The loader
```python
def build(root_cls, *, instances=None, config=None):
# merge resources/patterns/*.yaml into a pattern registry
# bind registry/config into each graph node by id
# build the schema (state) class and the engine
root = root_cls()
root._engine = Engine(graph, state_cls, payload_cls)
return root
```
## The registry
A single lookup replaces hand-rolled `if/else` selection:
```python
_FAMILIES = {
"csv": {"acme": {"heuristic": AcmeCsvPipeline}},
"json": {"globex": {"heuristic": GlobexJsonPipeline}},
}
def resolve_root(kind, variant, mode="heuristic"):
return _FAMILIES[kind][variant][mode]
```
Adding a new variant means adding one class and one registry entry.
## Driving a pipeline
Stages are driven explicitly so intermediate state can be persisted:
```python
pipeline = build(resolve_root(kind, variant))
content = pipeline.ingest.materialize(raw_bytes)
records = pipeline.reader.read(content)
items = pipeline.normalize.build(records)
```
## Testing
Because stages are pure, test each stage in isolation and test the assembled
root against **fixture inputs** whose expected outputs are stored as golden
files. A parity test replays fixtures headlessly.
