What's Included
Project Foundation
- Structured repository architecture and development conventions.
- Open-source contribution and community governance.
- Maintainer and security documentation.
- Established development workflows.
Developer Documentation
- English documentation and multilingual project resources.

Backend and Database Engineering
The stable release will include only the backend and database functionality verified as complete at the release commit. Planned capabilities include:
- FastAPI application infrastructure.
- Typed API contracts and error handling.
- PostgreSQL platform persistence.
- Authentication and workspace authorization.
- Background job processing.
- Logging, configuration, and observability.
- Read-only database connector architecture.
- PostgreSQL and Supabase PostgreSQL metadata inspection.
Any capability not passing final acceptance must be removed from this section before publication.
Design Principles
DERA is designed around:
- Deterministic engineering operations.
- Explicit, testable database metadata contracts.
- Secure, read-only inspection of external databases.
- Clear auditability and reproducible results.
- No dependency on AI models, LLMs, or external AI APIs.
