ChittyOps Foundation

Foundation-level operational primitives, governance structures, and cross-organizational territories.

🎯 Purpose

ChittyOps Foundation provides the canonical primitives and governance frameworks that all ChittyOS organizations reference and implement. This is NOT operational implementation - that lives in ChittyOS/chittyops.

Foundation Layer:

• Defines operational governance standards
• Establishes cross-organizational territories
• Provides foundational hook primitives
• Sets canonical processes

Implementation Layer (ChittyOS/chittyops):

• Implements foundation standards
• Executes operational workflows
• Manages CI/CD pipelines
• Handles deployments

📦 Foundation Packages

@chittyfoundation/hookify

Primitive hook governance framework

Defines the canonical structure for hooks across all organizations:

• Hook lifecycle contracts
• Hook registry standards
• Hook execution primitives
• Hook governance policies

// Foundation defines the CONTRACT
interface HookContract {
  type: 'git' | 'terminal' | 'custom';
  lifecycle: ['pre', 'execute', 'post', 'error'];
  governance: {
    blocking: boolean;
    priority: number;
    scope: 'global' | 'org' | 'repo';
  }
}

@chittyfoundation/territories

Cross-organizational territory governance

Defines how organizations coordinate and govern shared spaces:

• Territory boundary definitions
• Inter-org coordination contracts
• Shared resource governance
• Conflict resolution primitives

// Foundation defines TERRITORIES
interface Territory {
  name: string;
  owners: Organization[];
  governance: GovernancePolicy;
  boundaries: TerritoryBoundary[];
}

🏛️ Governance Structures

Hook Governance

Foundation defines:
├── Hook types (git, terminal, custom)
├── Execution contracts
├── Governance policies
└── Cross-org coordination

Organizations implement:
├── Specific hook scripts
├── Org-specific policies
└── Operational workflows

Territory Governance

Foundation defines:
├── Territory types
├── Ownership models
├── Coordination contracts
└── Conflict resolution

Organizations implement:
├── Territory assignments
├── Resource management
└── Operational coordination

🌍 Territories

Defined Cross-Org Territories:

1. Identity Territory

• Owners: ChittyFoundation, ChittyOS
• Services: chittyid, chittyauth
• Governance: Identity standards and authentication contracts

2. Registry Territory

• Owners: ChittyFoundation, ChittyOS
• Services: chittyregistry, chittyschema
• Governance: Service discovery and schema standards

3. Ledger Territory

• Owners: ChittyFoundation
• Services: chittyledger, chittychain, chittycanon
• Governance: Immutable record and transaction standards

4. Operations Territory

• Owners: ChittyFoundation (governance), ChittyOS (implementation)
• Services: chittyops, chittyconnect
• Governance: Operational standards and deployment contracts

📚 Canonical Standards

Standard: Hook Execution

# Foundation-defined standard
version: 1.0.0
type: hook-execution

  pre-conditions:
    - hook_registered
    - permissions_validated
  execution:
    - load_context
    - execute_hook
    - capture_result
  post-conditions:
    - result_logged
    - next_hook_triggered

Standard: Territory Coordination

# Foundation-defined standard
version: 1.0.0
type: territory-coordination
contract:
  boundaries:
    - identity_services
    - authentication_services
  coordination:
    - request_permission
    - execute_operation
    - notify_stakeholders

🔄 Foundation → Implementation Flow

1. Foundation (chittyfoundation/chittyops)
   └── Defines: Governance, Contracts, Standards
       
2. Operations (ChittyOS/chittyops)
   └── Implements: CI/CD, Deployments, Workflows
   └── References: Foundation standards
   
3. Organizations (ChittyCorp, NeverShitty, etc.)
   └── Consume: ChittyOS/chittyops implementation
   └── Adhere to: Foundation governance
