Sustainable Catalyst Platform Core: Technical Reference and Integrations
Review the technical, data, lifecycle, validation, and integration contract for Sustainable Catalyst Platform Core.
Sustainable Catalyst Platform Core · Technical Reference
Shared product identity, versions, taxonomies, schemas, handoffs, artifacts, access, configuration, health, observability, audits, compatibility, migration, recovery, keys, limits, embeds, integrity, navigation, and governance.
Purpose
This reference summarizes the functional contract, record expectations, lifecycle, validation, export, compatibility, integration, privacy, and release-review requirements for Sustainable Catalyst Platform Core.
Prerequisites
- Current release notes and repository documentation
- A test environment
- A backup and rollback plan
- Access to product health or package checks
- The synthetic all-feature sample
Sample data
This article uses a fictional Resilient Community Retrofit Program. The files contain one demonstration row for every documented feature, so each capability can be tested without private or production data.

| # | Feature | Sample action | Expected result | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Product Registry | register canonical product ID, owner, route, and lifecycle | a canonical product record | synthetic-demo |
| 2 | Version Registry | record installed, compatible, superseded, and retired versions | a version compatibility record | synthetic-demo |
| 3 | Shared Taxonomies | reuse product, version, component, issue, release, topic, and artifact terms | consistent cross-product context | synthetic-demo |
| 4 | Typed Schemas | validate a Decision Packet or calculation handoff | a schema result | synthetic-demo |
| 5 | Handoff Contracts | send a Workbench artifact to Decision Studio with minimum fields and receipt | a typed transfer and receipt | synthetic-demo |
The downloadable files include all 22 feature rows.

Functional surface
| Capability | Sample operation | Expected artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Product Registry | register canonical product ID, owner, route, and lifecycle | a canonical product record |
| Version Registry | record installed, compatible, superseded, and retired versions | a version compatibility record |
| Shared Taxonomies | reuse product, version, component, issue, release, topic, and artifact terms | consistent cross-product context |

| Handoff Contracts | send a Workbench artifact to Decision Studio with minimum fields and receipt | a typed transfer and receipt |
| Artifact Registry | register a dataset, model, decision, document, or report | a discoverable artifact record |
| Identity and Access | grant an editor documentation rights without administrative control | a least-privilege assignment |
| Configuration | set supported backend URLs and feature settings | a validated environment configuration |
| Secrets Boundaries | reference an environment variable instead of storing the key | a secret reference without secret value |
| Service Health | check version, dependencies, readiness, and time | a health response |
| Observability | inspect logs, metrics, traces, and handoff failures | an operational diagnostic |
| Audit Events | record a taxonomy migration or permission change | a tamper-aware event |
| Feature Flags | enable a new route for a bounded cohort and preserve rollback | a controlled rollout state |
| Compatibility | test old and new artifact readers | a compatibility decision |
| Migration | move a v1 artifact to v2 with backup and receipt | a migration record |
| Backup and Recovery | create and test a shared-registry recovery point | a verified backup |
| Public API Keys | issue a read-only scoped key | a revocable credential |
| Rate Limits | define fair public usage and response behavior | a visible limit policy |
| Embeds | serve a trusted versioned public component | a bounded embed contract |
| Release Integrity | verify package root, manifest, checksums, tests, and version identity | a release-integrity report |
| Cross-Product Navigation | preserve return paths and artifact context | stable navigation |
| Governance Policies | enforce publication, privacy, retention, review, and automation boundaries | a cross-product policy decision |
Core record fields
- Stable record or artifact ID
- Product and schema version
- Created and updated time
- Owner or responsible role
- Lifecycle or review state
- Source and provenance
- Units, period, geography, classification, or audience where applicable
- Validation findings and uncertainty
- Privacy and publication boundary
- Export or handoff integrity metadata
Lifecycle
Use a human-controlled lifecycle such as draft → review → approved/published, with revise, superseded, archived, withdrawn, failed, and recovered states where appropriate. Automated analysis may recommend; it must not silently approve, publish, or create private cases.
Validation
- Required-field and type checks
- Identifier and relationship checks
- Unit, period, geography, method, and classification compatibility
- Product and schema compatibility
- Source, evidence, and provenance completeness
- Permission, privacy, and publication-boundary checks
- Deterministic checksum or fingerprint validation for portable artifacts
Integrations
- Every Sustainable Catalyst product
- WordPress
- FastAPI services
- GitHub
- Hosting and edge infrastructure
Send the minimum required fields through a typed contract. Preserve source product, destination, schema, artifact ID, review state, provenance, consent or privacy boundary, and receipt. Private Contact and Engagement records never belong in public support or research artifacts.
Release review
- Confirm interface, service, manifest, package, and schema versions.
- Validate the all-feature sample.
- Run product tests and integrity checks.
- Test one export and each supported handoff category.
- Document breaking changes and migration path.
- Update Last Verified Version before publishing this article.
Expected output
- A complete feature contract
- A validated synthetic export
- A compatibility decision
- A documented integration receipt
- A release-integrity report
Verification
- Product slug, version, schema, and IDs agree.
- Every documented feature maps to an actual interface, command, route, or record.
- The sample files produce the stated artifacts.
- Integrations preserve provenance and privacy.
- Migration, rollback, support, and release documentation are current.
Responsible use
Core changes can affect every product; use least privilege, backups, compatibility tests, secret rotation, staged rollout, and explicit approval.
