Phase 1: Infrastructure & Quality Gates

This phase establishes the foundation for EXTREME TDD methodology with comprehensive quality automation and ticket-driven development.

Overview

Phase 1 focuses on creating a robust infrastructure that enforces:

  • Ticket-driven development: All work must reference a roadmap ticket
  • Zero SATD tolerance: No TODO/FIXME/HACK comments allowed
  • Quality gates: Automated pre-commit validation
  • Book documentation: MANDATORY chapters for every ticket
  • BashRS validation: All bash scripts validated with Rust tooling
  • Ruchy tool dogfooding: 100% pure Ruchy validation

Tickets

  • INFRA-001: YAML Roadmap & Ticket System
  • INFRA-002: Pre-commit Quality Gates
  • INFRA-003: Hook Automation
  • INFRA-004: Test File Organization

Success Criteria

✅ All infrastructure tickets complete ✅ Quality gates operational and blocking ✅ Zero tolerance for quality violations ✅ Automated validation in <1 second ✅ Team onboarding simplified

Impact

This infrastructure enables the entire project to maintain consistent quality while moving fast. Every subsequent ticket builds on this foundation.
