Microkernel architecture evaluation and documentation + Next.js CVE fix by Copilot · Pull Request #419 · objectstack-ai/framework

Copilot · 2026-01-31T01:53:04Z

Comprehensive evaluation of ObjectStack's microkernel architecture and package distribution. Added architectural documentation for the 12-package, 6-layer system.

Documentation Added

ARCHITECTURE.md (661 lines) - Microkernel design, plugin system, dependency graph, design decisions
PACKAGE-DEPENDENCIES.md (313 lines) - 6-layer hierarchy, build order, dependency rules, DAG validation
QUICK-REFERENCE.md (253 lines) - Developer quick reference with code examples, common tasks, testing patterns

Documentation Updated

README.md - Reorganized package structure into 6 categories (Core, Engines, Clients, Plugins, Tools)
micro-kernel.mdx - Added ObjectQLPlugin, DriverPlugin, AppPlugin documentation with current API

Architecture Highlights

Package Organization (12 packages):

Layer 0: @objectstack/spec (protocols, zero runtime deps)
Layer 1: @objectstack/types (shared types)
Layer 2: @objectstack/core (220-line kernel: lifecycle, DI, events)
Layer 3: @objectstack/objectql, @objectstack/runtime (engines)
Layer 4: client SDKs
Layer 5: plugins (driver-memory, plugin-hono-server, plugin-msw)
Layer 6: tools (cli, ai-bridge)

Key findings:

Zero circular dependencies (strict DAG)
Protocol-first design (Zod schemas)
Minimal external dependencies (@objectstack/spec: only zod; @objectstack/core: spec, pino, zod)
Plugin independence via service registry

Security Fix

Updated Next.js 16.1.3 → 16.1.5 to patch DoS vulnerability in React Server Components HTTP request deserialization (CVE). Affects only apps/docs.

Post-merge: Run pnpm install to regenerate lockfile.

+  name: string;                   // Reverse domain notation (e.g., 'com.objectstack.driver.postgres')
+  version?: string;               // Semantic version (e.g., '1.0.0')

+  init(ctx: PluginContext): Promise<void> | void;     // Register services


The init method is not optional in the actual Plugin interface (see packages/core/src/types.ts:87). The interface requires init to be implemented, while start and destroy are optional. The documentation should reflect this accurately.

+logger.debug(message, metadata?)  // Development/troubleshooting
+logger.info(message, metadata?)   // General information
+logger.warn(message, metadata?)   // Warnings
+logger.error(message, metadata?)  // Errors
+logger.fatal(message, metadata?)  // Fatal errors


The documented logger.error signature shows logger.error(message, metadata?) but the actual Logger interface (packages/core/src/contracts/logger.ts:35) defines it as error(message: string, error?: Error, meta?: Record<string, any>): void. The documentation should reflect the actual signature with the error parameter between message and metadata.

logger.error(message, metadata?) // Errors

The documented logger.fatal signature should also include the error parameter like the Logger interface defines: fatal(message: string, error?: Error, meta?: Record<string, any>): void (see packages/core/src/contracts/logger.ts:43). The documentation shows logger.fatal(message, metadata?) which is missing the error parameter.
