MCR Development Progress

Reverse-chronological log of development work. Most recent entries first. See PROJECT_PLAN.md for the implementation roadmap and ARCHITECTURE.md for the full design specification.

Current State

Phase: Pre-implementation Last updated: 2026-03-19

Completed

• ARCHITECTURE.md — Full design specification (18 sections)
• CLAUDE.md — AI development guidance
• PROJECT_PLAN.md — Implementation plan (14 phases, 40+ steps)
• PROGRESS.md — This file

Next Steps

1. Begin Phase 0: Project scaffolding (Step 0.1: Go module and directory structure)
2. After Phase 0 passes make all, proceed to Phase 1

Log

2026-03-19 — Project planning

Task: Create design documents and implementation plan.

Changes:

• README.md: Existing one-line description
• ARCHITECTURE.md: Full design specification covering OCI Distribution Spec compliance, MCIAS authentication, policy engine, storage design, API surface (OCI + admin REST + gRPC), database schema, garbage collection, configuration, web UI, CLI tools, deployment, security model
• CLAUDE.md: Development guidance for AI-assisted implementation
• PROJECT_PLAN.md: 14-phase implementation plan with discrete steps, acceptance criteria, dependency graph, and batchable work identification
• PROGRESS.md: This progress tracker

Notes:

• No code written yet. All files are documentation/planning.
• ARCHITECTURE.md reviewed and corrected for: GC algorithm crash safety, policy glob semantics, tag FK cascade, OCI error format, API sync violations, timeout configuration, backup considerations, and other consistency issues.
