brocode-core

The foundational runtime engine, distributed orchestration kernel, and core primitives for the ER.brocode ecosystem.

---

📖 Overview & Mission

brocode-core provides the heartbeat of ER.brocode applications. It is engineered from the ground up to solve complex distributed task orchestration, asynchronous event propagation, and automated self-healing workflows with unmatched resilience and performance.

Key Objectives

• Fault-Tolerant Execution: Built-in circuit breakers, jittered exponential backoffs, and durable state checkpoints.
• Modular & Extensible: Pluggable architecture allowing custom runtime adapters, transports, and telemetry providers.
• Type-Safe & Developer-Centric: Strict contracts, deterministic event streams, and ergonomic API abstractions.

🏗️ Architecture

brocode-core is architected into layered, loosely-coupled subsystems:

graph TB
    subgraph Core Kernel
        Lifecycle["Engine Lifecycle Controller"]
        ConfigMgr["Configuration & Environment Manager"]
        StateManager["Durable State Engine"]
    end

    subgraph Orchestration & Execution
        Scheduler["Distributed Task Scheduler"]
        WorkerPool["Worker Pool Manager"]
        CircuitBreaker["Circuit Breaker & Retry Engine"]
    end

    subgraph Messaging & Interconnect
        EventBroker["Event Broker (Pub/Sub)"]
        StreamRouter["Stream & Message Router"]
    end

    subgraph Extensibility & APIs
        PluginEngine["Plugin Runtime Engine"]
        API["REST / gRPC Gateway"]
    end

    Lifecycle --> ConfigMgr
    Lifecycle --> StateManager
    Scheduler --> CircuitBreaker
    Scheduler --> WorkerPool
    WorkerPool --> EventBroker
    EventBroker --> StreamRouter
    StreamRouter --> PluginEngine

🛡️ Team Guidelines & Best Practices

1. Test-Driven Rigor: All PRs must include unit tests for business logic and integration tests for external communication boundaries.
2. Resilience First: Any external I/O or network call must employ timeout bounds, circuit breaker protection, and safe fallback strategies.
3. Semantic Versioning: We adhere strictly to SemVer 2.0.0.
4. Code Reviews: Every contribution requires review and sign-off by team maintainers.
