Integration Points

Version Strategy ↔ Release Automation

Version bumping triggers release workflow:

1. Bump version using version_strategy
2. Trigger release using release_automation
3. Verify release artifacts

Commit Conventions ↔ Release Automation

Parse commits for changelog generation:

1. Validate commits using commit_conventions
2. Extract features/fixes for changelog
3. Generate release notes

Branching Model ↔ Merge Strategies

Branch type determines merge strategy:

1. Detect branch type from branching_model
2. Recommend merge strategy
3. Execute merge with conflict resolution

Compatibility Matrix ↔ Migration Tools

Compatibility checks guide migration:

1. Check version compatibility
2. Identify breaking changes
3. Run appropriate migration

End-to-End Workflows

Complete Release Workflow

Executes the full release process:

Steps: 1. Validate commits (commit_conventions) 2. Determine version bump (version_strategy) 3. Check compatibility (compatibility_matrix) 4. Create release branch (branching_model) 5. Generate changelog (release_automation) 6. Create release tag (tagging_rules) 7. Build artifacts (release_automation) 8. Publish release (release_automation)

Usage: 

# Dry run
python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow complete_release --dry-run

# Execute
python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow complete_release

Major Version Migration

Handles breaking changes with migration:

Steps: 1. Validate current version (version_strategy) 2. Check breaking changes (compatibility_matrix) 3. Run migration dry-run (migration_tools) 4. Execute migration (migration_tools) 5. Run integration tests (integration_testing) 6. Update version (version_strategy)

Usage: 

python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow major_migration --dry-run

Monorepo Package Release

Selective package releases:

Steps: 1. Detect affected packages (monorepo_tools) 2. Bump package versions (version_strategy) 3. Build affected packages (monorepo_tools) 4. Release packages (release_automation)

Merge Feature Branch

Smart merge with appropriate strategy:

Steps: 1. Validate branch (branching_model) 2. Validate commits (commit_conventions) 3. Analyze branch (merge_strategies) 4. Recommend strategy (merge_strategies) 5. Execute merge (merge_strategies)

System Health Monitoring

Health Checks

Automated checks run hourly: - Git repository health - Subsystem availability - Configuration validity

Metrics Collection

Tracked metrics: - releases_per_week: Release velocity - commit_quality_score: Average commit quality - merge_conflicts_rate: Conflict percentage - compatibility_issues: Compatibility problem count

Alerts

Automatic alerts for: - Low commit quality (<70): Notify team - High conflict rate (>20%): Review branching strategy - Compatibility issues: Block release

CLI Interface

Global Commands

python orchestrator.py validate

# Show status
python orchestrator.py status

# Show subsystem info
python orchestrator.py info

Workflow Commands

# Execute release
python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow complete_release

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Git 2.40+
  • Python 3.8+
  • CMake 3.20+ (for builds)

Setup

# Install Python dependencies
pip install pyyaml gitpython

# Validate installation
python validate.py

# Test orchestrator
python orchestrator.py validate

Configuration

Configuration files are loaded in this order (highest priority first): 1. Local: .git/audiolab-version-control.yaml 2. Override: version-control.local.yaml 3. Global: .audiolab/version-control.yaml 4. Default: Built-in defaults

Extensibility

Plugin System

Add custom functionality:

# plugins/my_plugin.py
def pre_release_hook(context):
    """Called before release"""
    # Custom logic
    pass

def post_release_hook(context):
    """Called after release"""
    # Custom logic
    pass

Custom Workflows

Define custom workflows in YAML:

workflows:
  my_custom_workflow:
    description: "Custom workflow"
    subsystems_used:
      - "version_strategy"
      - "release_automation"
    steps:
      - step: 1
        name: "Custom step"
        subsystem: "version_strategy"
        action: "custom_action"

Custom Validators

Add project-specific validation:

# validators/custom_validator.py
def validate_custom_rule(context):
    """Custom validation logic"""
    # Return True/False
    pass

Best Practices

System Validation

  1. Run validation regularly - Daily or before major operations
  2. Monitor health checks - Review metrics weekly
  3. Keep configs up-to-date - Version control your configurations
  4. Test workflows in dry-run - Always preview before execution

Workflow Execution

  1. Use dry-run first - Preview changes before applying
  2. Monitor progress - Watch for warnings and errors
  3. Validate results - Check outputs match expectations
  4. Document custom workflows - Maintain workflow documentation

Integration Points

  1. Understand dependencies - Know which subsystems depend on others
  2. Test integration points - Verify subsystem communication
  3. Handle failures gracefully - Implement proper error handling
  4. Log all operations - Maintain audit trail

Troubleshooting

Issue: Subsystem not found

Symptom: 

✗ version_strategy              (required)

Solution: Ensure all required subsystems are installed: 

cd "3 - COMPONENTS/05_MODULES/05_17_VERSION_CONTROL"
ls -la

Issue: Configuration invalid

Symptom: 

✗ Version Strategy (invalid YAML: ...)

Solution: Validate YAML syntax: 

python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('version_strategy.yaml'))"

Issue: Workflow execution fails

Symptom: 

✗ Step 3 failed: Check compatibility

Solution: 1. Run dry-run to identify issues 2. Check subsystem logs 3. Validate subsystem availability 4. Review workflow configuration
