# OBPI-0.0.3-02-domain-extraction: Domain Extraction

## ADR Item

- **Source ADR:** `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.3-hexagonal-architecture-tune-up/ADR-0.0.3-hexagonal-architecture-tune-up.md`
- **Checklist Item:** #2 - "OBPI-0.0.3-02: Domain Extraction"

**Status:** Draft

## Objective

Extract core business logic from existing flat modules into `src/gzkit/core/`, creating `core/models.py`, `core/lifecycle.py`, `core/scoring.py`, and `core/validation_rules.py` while maintaining backward-compatible re-exports from original module paths.

## Lane

**Heavy** — Moves domain logic into a new architectural layer with import boundary constraints.

## Allowed Paths

- `src/gzkit/core/__init__.py` — Core package exports
- `src/gzkit/core/models.py` — Domain models extracted from `models/`
- `src/gzkit/core/lifecycle.py` — ADR/OBPI state machines extracted from `lifecycle.py`
- `src/gzkit/core/scoring.py` — Scorecard computation extracted from `decomposition.py`
- `src/gzkit/core/validation_rules.py` — Pure validation logic extracted from `validate.py`
- `src/gzkit/lifecycle.py` — Thin re-export shim after extraction
- `src/gzkit/decomposition.py` — Thin re-export shim after extraction
- `src/gzkit/validate.py` — Thin re-export shim after extraction
- `src/gzkit/models/__init__.py` — Update exports to delegate to `core/models.py`
- `tests/test_core_lifecycle.py` — Unit tests for extracted lifecycle logic
- `tests/test_core_scoring.py` — Unit tests for extracted scoring logic
- `tests/test_core_validation.py` — Unit tests for extracted validation logic
- `tests/test_core_models.py` — Unit tests for extracted domain models
- `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.3-hexagonal-architecture-tune-up/obpis/OBPI-0.0.3-02-domain-extraction.md` — This brief

## Denied Paths

- `src/gzkit/ports/` — Port definitions are OBPI-01 (must already exist)
- `src/gzkit/adapters/` — Adapter implementations are later OBPIs
- `src/gzkit/core/exceptions.py` — Exception hierarchy is OBPI-03
- `src/gzkit/config.py` — Config refactor is OBPI-05
- `src/gzkit/cli.py` — CLI layer changes out of scope
- `src/gzkit/commands/**` — Command refactoring out of scope
- `docs/design/**` — ADR changes out of scope
- New dependencies
- CI files, lockfiles

## Requirements (FAIL-CLOSED)

1. REQUIREMENT: `core/` imports only `ports/` (Protocols), `pydantic`, `structlog` (binding only), and stdlib
2. REQUIREMENT: `core/` NEVER imports from `cli/`, `commands/`, `adapters/`, `rich`, `argparse`
3. REQUIREMENT: Original modules (`lifecycle.py`, `decomposition.py`, `validate.py`) become thin re-export shims so downstream imports do not break
4. REQUIREMENT: All existing tests continue to pass after extraction without modification
5. REQUIREMENT: Extracted logic is pure domain — no I/O, no filesystem access, no subprocess calls
6. REQUIREMENT: Each extracted module has corresponding unit tests in `tests/`
7. NEVER: Remove original module files — they become re-export shims
8. NEVER: Change the public API of any existing function during extraction
9. ALWAYS: Core domain models use Pydantic `BaseModel` with `ConfigDict(frozen=True, extra="forbid")`
10. ALWAYS: Preserve all existing function signatures and return types

> STOP-on-BLOCKERS: if OBPI-0.0.3-01 skeleton is not complete, halt.

### Value Narrative

Before this OBPI, domain logic (lifecycle rules, decomposition scoring, validation models,
frontmatter models) was scattered across flat modules with no architectural separation. Now,
pure domain logic lives in src/gzkit/core/ with strict import boundaries, while original
modules serve as backward-compatible re-export shims — all 1079 existing tests pass unchanged.

### Key Proof

```text
$ uv run python -c "from gzkit.core.lifecycle import TRANSITION_TABLES; print('core import works')"
core import works
$ uv run python -c "from gzkit.lifecycle import LifecycleStateMachine; print('re-export works')"
re-export works
$ uv run python -c "
import ast, pathlib
for f in pathlib.Path('src/gzkit/core').glob('*.py'):
    if f.name == '__init__.py': continue
    tree = ast.parse(f.read_text())
    for n in ast.walk(tree):
        if isinstance(n, ast.ImportFrom) and n.module:
            assert not any(n.module.startswith(p) for p in ('gzkit.cli', 'gzkit.commands', 'gzkit.adapters'))
print('Core boundary clean')
"
Core boundary clean
```
