 # Writing a provider adapter in ADL
 
-This is the whole job, in the order you do it. Everything here is checkable:
-each rule names the symbol that enforces it, and `examples/meridian-bank` is a
-complete adapter you can copy.
+`ProviderAdapter` declares an adapter's identity, operation bindings and subject
+requirements. `BoundaryAdapter` implements dispatch and observation. The runtime
+owns instruction identity and money accounts.
 
-## What an adapter is
+## Declare the binding
 
-An adapter is a **declaration**, not a client. It is a plain object saying
-what the provider does: which commands exist, how their responses classify,
-what the bank's status tokens mean, when statements can be fetched, which
-reference comes back on a debit. The runtime that executes it is generic and
-ships with the platform. Your adapter never opens a socket, never holds a
-credential, and never decides what a payment means.
+Use `createProviderAdapterRegistry` to validate declarations. Each operation map
+key must equal its binding's `operation`. Its `resourceKind` must appear in
+`bindings`. Subject requirements describe required authored fields or attachments;
+they never supply an account or choose a party.
 
-That split is why the checks in ADL are declaration-level. Conformance
-does not call your bank. It proves the facts you declared are complete enough
-for a generic runtime to poll, classify, reconcile, and dedupe without
-guessing. Every guess a runtime makes about money is a provider-boundary
-defect.
+The [generic fixture](../src/boundary-fixture.ts) declares one boundary
+observation operation with no subject requirements. The
+[subject fixture](../conformance/subject-adapter.ts) shows required subject fields.
 
-Two consequences worth internalizing before you write a line:
+`adapterConformanceFindings` checks the declaration. The
+[manifest schema](../spec/manifest.schema.json) expresses the same public shape
+for non-TypeScript authors. Neither check contacts a provider.
 
-- **A fact you have not established is declared absent, never borrowed.** The
-  fields that may be omitted (`charges`, `statementDebitReference`, `envelope`)
-  exist so you can be honest during authoring. Conformance then refuses to
-  certify while they are open. Absent is a finding; a wrong value is an
-  outage.
-- **Poll-first.** A provider callback is a hint that a poll is due, never a
-  fact to post from. `validatePartnerBankProfile` refuses a profile whose
-  `notificationMechanisms` omits `poll`, whatever else it lists.
+## Dispatch an instruction
 
-### Adapter symmetry
+`BoundaryInstruction` binds an immutable ID to the environment, tenant, Product,
+retained Build, target, source and destination accounts, positive minor-unit
+amount, currency and adapter. The runtime reserves the amount before dispatch.
+An adapter receives that instruction unchanged.
 
-Hyperscale's own bank adapters are written against this package and nothing
-more. There is no private adapter API, no internal hook, no second interface
-for first-party code. When a first-party adapter needs a seam ADL lacks,
-the seam is added here, in public, or it is not added.
+`BoundaryAdapter.dispatch` and `BoundaryAdapter.observe` return a
+`BoundaryObservation` or `undefined`. The observation names the adapter,
+instruction ID, stable external reference, explicit outcome and observation time.
+Its outcome is `acknowledged`, `unknown`, `confirmed` or `rejected`.
 
-Practically: if the example in `examples/meridian-bank` can express your bank,
-so can we, and if it cannot, that is a gap in ADL worth an issue.
+An acknowledgement or missing result leaves the reservation held. HTTP status
+never supplies a terminal outcome. Only a matching `confirmed` observation can
+authorize posting; an explicit `rejected` observation can authorize voiding.
+The runtime records immutable observations and consumes settlement evidence once.
+Recovery completes the same ledger intent without resending uncertain work.
 
-## The four gates
+## Check the declaration
 
-An adapter passes through four gates. Know which one owns which failure, or
-you will fix the wrong thing.
+From this package:
 
-| Gate            | Symbol                                                        | Catches                                                                                                             |
-| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Type check      | `ProviderAdapter<Vocabulary>`                                 | Names outside your closed vocabulary, wrong shapes, missing required fields.                                        |
-| Registry load   | `createProviderAdapterRegistry`                               | Cross-field structure at import time: key drift, blank locators, an unreadable clock, a duplicate identity. Throws. |
-| Conformance     | `partnerBankConformanceFindings`, `certifyPartnerBankAdapter` | Operational completeness. Returns findings, or throws with all of them listed.                                      |
-| Manifest schema | `spec/manifest.schema.json`                                   | The same structure for authors who are not writing TypeScript.                                                      |
-
-`conformance/cases.json` records, for every rule, which gates see it. Read it
-when you want the exact division of labor.
-
-## 1. Declare your vocabulary
-
-Start by naming the closed unions your product uses. `ProviderAdapterVocabulary`
-is nine string fields, and you narrow every one of them:
-
-```ts
-import type { ProviderAdapterVocabulary } from "@hyperscale0/adl";
-
-interface MeridianVocabulary extends ProviderAdapterVocabulary {
-  readonly capability: "payout_execution" | "bank_credit";
-  readonly domain: "payouts" | "deposits";
-  readonly meter: "external_payout";
-  readonly obligation: "payout_submission" | "bank_credit";
-  readonly operation: "payout.submit" | "deposit.record";
-  readonly resource: "payout" | "deposit";
-  readonly webhookOperation: "payout.complete";
-  readonly webhookResource: "payout";
-  readonly webhookResourceId: "payoutId";
-}
-```
-
-The names come from the published operation catalog for the product you are
-integrating with, not from your provider's documentation. Your provider calls
-it `POST /v2/payments`; the platform calls it `payout.submit`. Translating
-between the two is the adapter's whole reason to exist.
-
-Then bind the vocabulary once and keep the returned function:
-
-```ts
-const defineMeridianAdapters =
-  createProviderAdapterRegistry<MeridianVocabulary>();
-```
-
-`createProviderAdapterRegistry` returns a validator that preserves your exact
-literal types (`const Adapters extends readonly ProviderAdapter<Vocabulary>[]`),
-so downstream code sees the operations you actually declared, not `string`.
-
-## 2. Declare the operations
-
-`operationMap` is keyed by operation name, and the key must equal the binding's
-`operation` field. Drift throws at load:
-`operationMap key submit must match operation payout.submit`.
-
-Each `ProviderOperationBinding` carries:
-
-| Field            | Contract                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
-| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `operation`      | The platform operation this binding serves. Equal to its map key.                                                                                                                                                          |
-| `direction`      | `tenant_initiated` when the runtime sends the provider a command and reads an answer. `system_settlement` when the operation records something observation already saw. This single field decides which rules apply below. |
-| `obligationKind` | Which obligation the operation discharges. Your product's vocabulary.                                                                                                                                                      |
-| `resourceKind`   | The platform resource the provider's answer commits onto. Must appear in `bindings`.                                                                                                                                       |
-| `resourceIdPath` | Where the resource id is read from. Non-blank, checked at load.                                                                                                                                                            |
-| `meter`          | Optional. The usage meter this operation feeds.                                                                                                                                                                            |
-| `envelope`       | How this operation's response carries its outcome. Required when the runtime sends a provider command, see below.                                                                                                          |
-| `statusEnquiry`  | The authoritative read-after-write. Required on a REST command, see below.                                                                                                                                                 |
-
-### The envelope class, per operation
-
-`ProviderResponseEnvelope` has three inhabitants:
-
-- `http_200_body_status`: every response is HTTP 200 and the outcome is a
-  status token in the body. A rejection arrives inside a success.
-- `http_status_error_body`: the HTTP status carries the outcome and a failure
-  body is prose.
-- `unconfirmed_until_live`: the provider publishes no error sample, so the
-  class is honestly unknown.
-
-Declare it **per operation**, never per provider. Real providers answer in more
-than one shape across their own endpoints, and inheriting a class from a
-sibling endpoint is how a rejection gets read as a success.
-
-Conformance requires the class on any binding where the runtime sends a command
-and reads an answer, meaning `direction: "tenant_initiated"` on an `egress` of
-`rest` or `sync_clearance`. Missing it is `response_envelope_unclassified`; a
-declared `unconfirmed_until_live` is `response_envelope_unconfirmed`, because
-conformance requires the response class to be established first. Passing that
-check does not grant live readiness. A `system_settlement` binding carries no
-response of its own, so it owes no envelope, and declaring one there would be a
-borrowed fact.
-
-### Status enquiry, the read-after-write
-
-A REST command's response can be lost after the provider has already acted on
-it. Without an authoritative way to re-read the outcome, the runtime's only
-options are guessing and resubmitting, and resubmitting pays twice.
-
-```ts
-statusEnquiry: {
-  keys: "provider_reference",
-  pathTemplate: "/v2/payments/{providerReference}",
-}
-```
-
-`keys` says which reference the enquiry is keyed by, and the template must
-contain the matching placeholder, checked at load:
-`{instructionId}` for `instruction_id`, `{providerReference}` for
-`provider_reference`.
-
-Presence is a readiness commitment, not a hint. Runtimes must never infer
-enquiry support from a command URL, so:
-
-- a `tenant_initiated` binding on `egress: "rest"` without one is
-  `status_enquiry_missing`;
-- an enquiry declared on an adapter whose `egress` is not `rest` is
-  `status_enquiry_without_rest_egress`, because there is no transport to run it;
-- `sync_clearance` is exempt: the answer arrives in the same exchange.
-
-### Egress and direction have to agree
-
-`ProviderEgressMode` is how this adapter reaches the provider at all:
-
-- `none`: the capability is learned entirely by observation;
-- `rest`: per-command HTTP;
-- `batch_reconcile`: files, reconciled after the fact;
-- `sync_clearance`: one synchronous exchange that carries its own truth.
-
-A `tenant_initiated` binding on `none` or `batch_reconcile` promises an
-outbound call the egress mode cannot make: `egress_direction_incoherent`.
-
-## 3. Declare the webhook plans
-
-`webhookMap` is keyed by event kind, and the key must equal `eventKind` (load
-throws on drift, same as operations). A `ProviderWebhookTransitionPlan` says
-what a callback must contain before the runtime will treat it as a reason to
-poll: `requiredPayloadFields`, `optionalPayloadFields`,
-`requiredFieldGroups` (each inner array is a set where at least one member is
-required), `resourceIdField`, `resourceKind`, and `timestampField` from the
-`ProviderTimestampField` vocabulary.
-
-An adapter with no callbacks declares `webhookMap: {}`. That is complete, not
-missing: polling is the fact.
-
-## 4. Declare the bindings
-
-`bindings` maps each resource kind this adapter settles to a
-`ProviderResourceBinding`:
-
-- `strict`: the provider's fact must match the platform's row exactly;
-- `claim`: the provider's fact claims an existing row;
-- `confirmation_only`: the provider only confirms what the platform already
-  decided;
-- `evidence_only`: the fact is recorded as evidence, and settles nothing.
-
-Every `resourceKind` named by an operation binding or a webhook plan needs an
-entry, or conformance reports `resource_binding_missing`: a provider fact with
-no declared match mode has no lawful way to commit.
-
-## 5. Declare the config
-
-```ts
-config: {
-  baseUrl: "https://api.meridian-bank.example/v2",
-  credentialRef: { source: "environment", name: "MERIDIAN_BANK_CREDENTIALS" },
-}
-```
-
-`ProviderCredentialReference` is a **locator**: an environment variable name,
-or a keychain service and account. There is no field a secret can be written
-into, and `validateConfig` refuses a blank locator or a relative `baseUrl`.
-Never put a token, certificate, or password in an adapter. The declaration is
-committed to a repository; the credential is not.
-
-## 6. Declare the partner-bank profile
-
-`PartnerBankAdapterProfile` is the bank as fact. It is the longest part of the
-job and the part that repays care, because every field is something a runtime
-would otherwise guess.
-
-### Auth and wire
-
-`wireCodec` (`rest_json`, `iso20022_xml`, `swift_mt`) and `auth`
-(`ProviderAuthEnvelope` plus a signing scheme). Declaring a grant the bank will
-not accept fails on the first provider call. Read the bank's token service and
-do not assume client credentials.
-
-### The idempotency spine
-
-```ts
-idempotencySpine: {
-  dedupeKeys: ["instructionId", "paymentReference"],
-  instructionId: { maxLength: 32 },
-  endToEndId: { maxLength: 32 },
-  paymentReference: { maxLength: 20 },
-}
+```sh
+bun run conformance -- ./src/boundary-fixture.ts
+bun run spec:emit
 ```
 
-`dedupeKeys` names which references the bank grades a duplicate against. It
-must be non-empty and free of duplicates (both checked at load). The three
-length facts are what stops the runtime minting a reference the bank will
-truncate, which is how two payments end up sharing an identity.
-
-### The lifecycle vocabulary
-
-The bank's own status spellings, mapped onto canonical states:
-
-```ts
-lifecycleVocabulary: {
-  QUEUED: "received",
-  AUTHORISED: "accepted",
-  SETTLED: "processed",
-  DECLINED: "failed",
-  RECALLED: "returned",
-  REPLAY_SETTLED: "duplicate_original_succeeded",
-  REPLAY_DECLINED: "duplicate_original_rejected",
-}
-```
-
-Runtimes match after trimming and upper-casing, so `ok`, `OK ` and `OK` are one
-entry. Four rules apply:
-
-- the vocabulary must spell `processed`, `failed`, and `returned`, or a payment
-  ending there is unclassifiable and polls forever
-  (`lifecycle_terminals_incomplete`);
-- it must spell `received` or `accepted`, because an acknowledgement proves the
-  bank took the instruction, never that money moved
-  (`lifecycle_intake_missing`);
-- a spelling that trims to nothing can never match (`lifecycle_spelling_blank`);
-- two spellings that normalize to the same token must agree on the canonical
-  state, or classification becomes order-dependent
-  (`lifecycle_spelling_conflict`).
-
-And the one authors forget: both duplicate verdicts must be spellable
-(`duplicate_verdicts_unmapped`). The dedupe spine means a crash-recovery
-resubmission comes back graded against the original's outcome. Unclassified,
-your own recovery reads as a fresh failure.
-
-### Statements
-
-`statementFormats` lists what the bank can hand you (`mt940`, `mt942`,
-`camt_052`, `camt_053`, `obie_json`), and `windows.statements` gives each one a
-fetch window:
-
-- `availability: "T-1"` pages over history, so it needs positive `lookbackDays`
-  and `statementDaysPerRequest`;
-- `availability: "today_only"` is intraday and owes no paging facts.
-
-A declared format with no window is `statement_window_missing`; a T-1 window
-without paging facts is `statement_window_incomplete`. No formats at all is
-`statement_formats_empty`: statements are bank truth, and reconciliation has
-nothing to prove the ledger against without one.
-
-`statementDebitReference` says which of the two references on a debit line
-names the instruction behind it: the bank's own entry reference
-(`bank_reference`) or the reference you sent (`customer_reference`). Banks
-disagree, and the wrong choice makes every payout you instructed look like an
-unexplained debit. Leaving it unestablished is
-`statement_debit_reference_unestablished`.
-
-### Charges
-
-```ts
-charges: {
-  narratives: { charge: ["MERIDIAN FEE"], vat: ["MERIDIAN TAX"] },
-  posting: "post_hoc",
-  vat: "separate_line",
-}
-```
-
-`posting` says whether the bank debits its fee separately after the payment or
-nets it out of the instructed amount; `vat` says whether tax arrives as its own
-line. Post-hoc charges and separate VAT lines are bank-initiated debits
-recognizable only by their wording, so each mode in play needs at least one
-narrative prefix (`charge_narrative_unestablished`,
-`vat_narrative_unestablished`). Omitting `charges` entirely is honest during
-authoring and refused at certification (`charges_unestablished`): the bank's own
-debits would land as unexplained statement lines.
-
-### Windows
-
-```ts
-paymentCutoff: {
-  time: "16:30",
-  timeZone: "Europe/Dublin",
-  beforeCutoffValueDate: "D+0",
-  afterCutoffValueDate: "D+1",
-}
-```
-
-The cutoff is read on the **bank's** clock, so `timeZone` is an IANA name and
-both gates resolve it through `Intl.DateTimeFormat`. Absence is not tolerated:
-an undefined zone silently means the host's clock
-(`cutoff_clock_invalid`).
-
-Value dates are `D+<whole days>`. Missing a cutoff can only push value later,
-so an after-cutoff date earlier than the before-cutoff one is a
-`cutoff_window_regression`, and so is a `valueDateMaxDaysAhead` that cannot
-reach the after-cutoff date. A malformed offset is
-`value_date_offset_invalid` rather than a NaN that slides through every
-comparison after it.
-
-### The rest
-
-`executedReadBack` (whether the executed read-back may name another rail, and
-when an FX rate is final), `limitFacts` (what the bank exposes about limits),
-`financialAddressProvisioning` (how virtual addresses are issued, priced, and
-quota'd), and `notificationMechanisms` (which must include `poll`).
-
-## 7. Run conformance
-
-```bash
-bun run conformance -- ./examples/meridian-bank
-```
-
-```
-ok    meridian_bank:payout_execution
-ok    meridian_bank:bank_credit
-2 adapter(s) checked, 0 finding(s) reported
-```
-
-The runner exits 1 when anything reports, so it drops straight into CI. It
-takes a module path or a directory, and certifies every adapter the module
-exports.
-
-In your own repository, call the function directly and skip the runner:
-
-```ts
-import { certifyPartnerBankAdapter } from "@hyperscale0/adl";
-
-import { myAdapters } from "./src/index.js";
-
-for (const adapter of myAdapters) certifyPartnerBankAdapter(adapter);
-```
-
-`partnerBankConformanceFindings` returns every finding as
-`{ code, path, message }`, where `path` is the dotted location inside your
-declaration. `certifyPartnerBankAdapter` throws with all of them listed at
-once, so you fix a declaration in one pass rather than one throw at a time.
-The codes are append-only: a released code is never renamed or removed, so you
-can switch on `PartnerBankConformanceCode` without a stale fallback arm.
-
-An empty result is the certification. Nothing else is.
-
-## 8. Write the manifest without TypeScript
-
-`spec/manifest.schema.json` is JSON Schema 2020-12 for one adapter
-declaration, generated from `src/vocabulary.ts` by `scripts/emit-spec.ts` and
-drift-checked by `bun run spec:check`. Generate types, validate a
-hand-written manifest, or feed it to an editor.
-
-The schema is structural. Rules that compare two fields, resolve a time zone,
-or match a property key against a value inside it cannot be expressed in JSON
-Schema and stay in the validator and the conformance suite.
-`conformance/cases.json` says which gate owns each rule, in the `note` field of
-every case where they differ.
-
-## 9. Hand it over
-
-An adapter is handed over as source, never as a running service:
-
-1. `bun run conformance` reports zero findings.
-2. Your own tests read captured provider bytes and prove the declaration
-   matches them. `examples/meridian-bank/example.spec.ts` is the pattern:
-   every status token in a fixture is spelled in the lifecycle vocabulary, the
-   envelope class is how the fixtures actually read, and the declared charge
-   narratives match the statement lines.
-3. Open an issue on this repository with the certified declaration and the
-   conformance output. Credentials are never part of a submission; the
-   declaration names locators, and the operator fills them in.
-
-## Stability
-
-The package is pre-1.0 and the surface can still change on a minor version
-until it is `1.0.0`. Two promises hold now:
-
-- conformance codes are append-only;
-- a value removed from a vocabulary in `src/vocabulary.ts` is a breaking change
-  and appears in `CHANGELOG.md`.
-
-## What is not here
-
-The declaration carries no timeouts, no retry policy, and no rate limits.
-Those belong to the runtime that executes adapters, not to the facts about the
-provider, and no field in `ProviderAdapter` accepts them. If your provider's
-limits are a fact the runtime must know, open an issue: under Adapter Symmetry
-the seam gets added here, publicly, or not at all.
+The conformance command exits 1 when it reports a finding. The schema emitter
+writes the declaration schema and the `BoundaryInstruction` and
+`BoundaryObservation` definitions. Add a case in `conformance/cases.json` when a
+new declaration rule prevents a concrete failure.
