Asset Rental Service (ARS): General equipment rental framework

Framework Support: All future models will leverage the same FSM engine, agent system, and GraphQL infrastructure.

🎯 Development Workflow Process¶

Step 1: Business Logic Development (`bss-business-logic.md`)¶

Purpose: Non-technical business case description for managers Process: Gradual, accumulative, and eventual refinement Responsibilities: - Question logical consistency of new inputs - Challenge assumptions and identify gaps - Ensure comprehensive coverage of business scenarios - Maintain non-technical language suitable for business managers - Build comprehensive business case through iterative refinement

Step 2: Technical Specifications (`bss-workflow-specification.md`)¶

Purpose: Formal technical implementation specification Process: Translate business logic into technical workflows Responsibilities: - Define FSM states, transitions, and signals - Specify agent behaviors and interactions - Document integration points and data flows - Ensure technical feasibility of business requirements

Step 3: Implementation via Data-Driven Models¶

Components: bss-agent-v1.ts and bss-fsm-v1.json Process: Create executable models that implement specifications Responsibilities: - Suggest additional logic components if needed - Ensure data-driven approach with configuration - Validate technical feasibility - Create executable business logic implementations

Step 4: Consistency Review & Validation¶

Purpose: Cross-validate all three layers Process: Test against scenarios in bss-scenario-tests.md Responsibilities: - Identify inconsistencies between layers - Validate business logic → specification → implementation alignment - Ensure test scenarios cover all business cases - Maintain traceability across all design layers

Workflow Principles¶

Gradual: Build understanding incrementally through questions and clarifications
Accumulative: Each iteration builds upon and refines previous understanding
Eventual: Target comprehensive coverage through iterative refinement
Critical: Question logical consistency and challenge assumptions
Traceable: Maintain clear links between business logic, specifications, and implementation

🎯 Current Status: Foundation Complete - Ready for Phase 5¶

✅ Comprehensive Architecture Implementation Achieved¶

The ABS Platform has successfully established a robust, production-ready foundation with all core architectural components implemented and tested:

Core Design Patterns Implemented¶

1. Aligned Arrays Pattern 🎯 - ServiceAccount.service_bundle.services[] (configuration) ↔ ServiceAccount.service_states[] (runtime state) - Requirements: Array length and order must match, service_id references maintain alignment - Benefits: Clear separation of configuration vs. runtime state, shared configuration across customers

2. Template-Driven Configuration 🎯 - ServicePlanTemplate provides immutable configuration (contract_terms, FSMs, agent_config) - ServicePlan references template with version pinning (template_id, template_version) - Benefits: Configuration inheritance eliminates duplication, version control for contract stability

3. Embedded State Pattern 🎯 - ServiceState, TemplateChange, CommonState, MealyTransition are embedded types - Characteristics: No separate ID, no created_at/updated_at, referenced by FK, embedded within parent - Benefits: Simplified data model, clear ownership relationships, reduced complexity

Schema Changes Summary¶

Major Schema Corrections: Service bundle relationship corrected, FK ID exposures removed from public API
Hybrid Service Management: Service class methods added for direct computational operations

Currency Architecture: Redesigned to derive currency from template.billing_currency instead of plan-level field
Service Class Methods Integration: Setup data files enhanced with method enablement and fallback configurations
ERD Diagram Updates: PlantUML syntax corrected, entity relationships aligned with schema corrections
Agent Version Mapping: models/bss/setup-data/agent-versions.json maps template versions (e.g., "1.0.0" → v1, "2.0.0" → v2) to modules with name-agnostic export detection
Developer Guides: Complete schema alignment guide created for developer reference
