The internal design catalogue completes the deep ArchiMate path, and the product gains its rule for what happens when the path deepens under a finished interview.

Catalogue 0.4 (ADR 0063)

Six waves — motivation, business, application, technology, implementation, hygiene — 38 questions. New:

  • Technology: component-unhosted ("Where does this run?" — exact-matched, so profile-derived module kinds inherit their deployable parent's hosting), node-serves-nothing, technology-service-unrealized, artifact-unassigned.
  • Implementation: workpackage-delivers-nothing, workpackage-unassigned, deliverable-realizes-nothing, plateau-aggregates-nothing, gap-unaddressed.

Versioning discipline

  • A completed interview honestly reopens when the catalogue deepens. The model did not regress; the standard of adequacy grew. If your ask orientation shows new open questions after upgrading, they will carry the marker below.
  • Every question records since: <catalogue version> — surfaced in the interrogation report, design steps, and ask --open ([since 0.4]), so you can attribute reopening to the catalogue delta at a glance.
  • Semver: minor catalogue versions are additive only; only a major may change or remove triggers. No pinning — the interview stays stateless; teams needing a frozen path copy the shipped catalogue and pass --catalogue.

Dogfooded on yarramate's own model before shipping: 0.4 opened 20 questions, 17 of which exposed catalogue selector imprecision (fixed pre-release — selector precision is part of the additive contract) and 3 of which were real hosting gaps, now answered in the model.
