Non-negotiable structural rules that apply to every Claude Code session in
this repo and to every commit, enforced via three defense-in-depth layers:
1. PreToolUse hook in .claude/settings.json blocks any Write/Edit that
would push a file past the 500-line hard cap. Auto-loads for any
Claude session in this repo regardless of who launched it.
2. scripts/githooks/pre-commit (installed via scripts/install-hooks.sh)
enforces the LOC cap, freezes migrations/ unless [migration-approved],
and protects guardrail files unless [guardrail-change] is present.
3. .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml gets loc-budget + guardrail-integrity jobs,
plus mypy --strict on new Python packages, tsc --noEmit on Node
services, and a syft+grype SBOM scan.
Per-language conventions are documented in AGENTS.python.md / AGENTS.go.md /
AGENTS.typescript.md at the repo root — layering (router->service->repo for
Python, hexagonal for Go, colocation for Next.js), tooling baseline, and
explicit "what you may NOT do" lists.
Adds scripts/check-loc.sh (soft 300 / hard 500, reports 205 hard and 161
soft violations in the current codebase) plus .claude/rules/loc-exceptions.txt
(initially empty — the list is designed to shrink over time).
Per-service READMEs for all 10 services + PHASE1_RUNBOOK.md for the
backend-compliance refactor. Skeleton packages (compliance/{domain,
repositories,schemas}) are the landing zone for the clean-arch rewrite that
begins in Phase 1.
CLAUDE.md is prepended with the six non-negotiable rules.

dsms-gateway
Python/FastAPI gateway to the IPFS-backed document archival store. Upload, retrieve, verify, and archive legal documents with content-addressed immutability.
Port: 8082 (container: bp-compliance-dsms-gateway)
Stack: Python 3.11, FastAPI, IPFS (Kubo via dsms-node).
Architecture (target — Phase 4)
main.py (467 LOC) will split into:
dsms_gateway/
├── main.py # FastAPI app factory, <50 LOC
├── routers/ # /documents, /legal-documents, /verify, /node
├── ipfs/ # IPFS client wrapper
├── services/ # Business logic (archive, verify)
├── schemas/ # Pydantic models
└── config.py
See ../AGENTS.python.md.
Run locally
cd dsms-gateway
pip install -r requirements.txt
export IPFS_API_URL=http://localhost:5001
uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8082
Tests
pytest test_main.py -v
Note: the existing test file is larger than the implementation — good coverage already. Phase 4 splits both into matching module pairs.
