v0.0.1

🎉 Pacta v0.0.1 — Initial Release

Architecture Testing & Architecture-as-Code for Python

We're excited to announce the first release of Pacta — a static analysis tool that enforces architectural rules in your codebase, catching violations in pull requests rather than post-mortems.

⚠️ Experimental Release — Breaking changes may occur in future versions.

---

Highlights

Pacta helps teams maintain clean architecture by:

• Defining architecture as code using a simple YAML model
• Enforcing dependency rules between architectural layers
• Tracking violations over time with snapshot versioning
• Failing only on new violations using baseline mode (so you're not blocked by legacy debt)

---

Features

Architecture Modeling

• Define your system using YAML-based architecture models (architecture.yml)
• Model containers (services/components) with code mappings
• Define architectural layers (UI, Application, Domain, Infrastructure)
• Support for Domain-Driven Design bounded contexts

Rule Enforcement

• Custom rule DSL for defining architectural constraints
• Layer dependency enforcement (e.g., Domain cannot import from Infrastructure)
• Multiple severity levels: ERROR, WARNING, INFO
• Both forbid and allow actions for fine-grained control

Snapshot & Baseline

• Save architecture snapshots and version them like code
• Baseline mode: fail only on new violations, not legacy debt
• Snapshot diffing to understand what changed between versions
• Git integration for automatic commit/branch metadata

Reporting

• Human-readable text output with color support

• JSON output for CI/CD integration

• Quiet mode (summary only) and verbose mode (full details)

• Clear exit codes:

  • 0 — success
  • 1 — violations
  • 2 — error

Plugin Architecture

• Extensible analyzer interface for multi-language support
• Automatic analyzer discovery via Python entry points
• Stable configuration contract for plugin compatibility

---
