RCI/Delta as a read-/reasoning layer ON TOP of the product-first pipeline. Answers
"what changes relative to my existing Regulatory Map?" — NOT "what does the new
law say in general". No UI, no ingestion (newsletter/mailbox), no RAG, no new
regulations/controls, no legal evaluation outside the stored map.
- 4 core objects (compliance/rci/schemas.py): ComplianceBaseline (snapshot of
profile + map + registry obligations + required/present evidence), RegulatoryChange
(simulated/provided INPUT), ObligationDelta (delta_type NEW|CHANGED|REMOVED|
ALREADY_COVERED|NEEDS_REVIEW|NOT_APPLICABLE), ChangeImpactSummary. delta_type is a
THIRD vocabulary, disjoint from ClaimCoverage (Welt 1) and ComplianceStatus (Welt 2).
- create_baseline() snapshots the existing pipeline once; assess_change() computes
deltas deterministically against the snapshot (no re-evaluation).
- 12 tests = the 5 acceptance questions (affects product? new/changed? already
covered by evidence? needs human review? not relevant?) + repeal/uncertain-reg/
missing-evidence/boundary. Existing pipeline tests stay green; mypy clean; LOC ok.
- App/reasoning types only — no compliance-meta-model classes (freeze v1.0 untouched).
