Sylin.Koan.Core.Adapters 0.17.0

Koan.Core.Adapters

✅ Validated against BaseKoanAdapter and readiness services on 2025-09-29. See TECHNICAL.md for the deep dive.

Contract

• Purpose: Provide the unified adapter foundation for Koan modules (storage, messaging, orchestration) with capability negotiation and bootstrap reporting.
• Primary inputs: Implementations of BaseKoanAdapter, adapters registered through IKoanAdapter, configuration snapshots, and capability manifests.
• Outputs: Adapter registration with Koan auto-registrars, capability metadata surfaced via AdapterCapabilities, and readiness diagnostics.
• Failure modes: Missing capability declarations, adapters not registered through KoanAutoRegistrar, or template scaffolds left unimplemented.
• Success criteria: Adapters self-describe capabilities, integrate with orchestration bridges, and participate in readiness/reporting pipelines out of the box.

Quick start

using Koan.Core.Adapters;
using Koan.Core;

public sealed class MySearchAdapter : BaseKoanAdapter
{
    public override string Name => "search";

    protected override void Describe(AdapterCapabilities caps)
    {
        caps.WithCategory("search")
            .Supports("index:create")
            .Supports("query:vector");
    }
}

public sealed class KoanAutoRegistrar : IKoanAutoRegistrar
{
    public string ModuleName => "Search";

    public void Initialize(IServiceCollection services)
        => services.AddKoanAdapter<MySearchAdapter>();

    public void Describe(BootReport report, IConfiguration cfg, IHostEnvironment env)
        => report.AddNote("Search adapter registered");
}

• Derive from BaseKoanAdapter to get capability reporting, orchestration hooks, and configuration helpers.
• Register adapters via IKoanAutoRegistrar so they participate in Koan’s bootstrap discovery without manual program wiring.

Configuration

• Provide strongly-typed options by calling ConfigureOptions<TOptions>() inside your adapter.
• Use MissingTypes helpers to validate required services and emit actionable error messages.
• Surface readiness information by overriding BuildReadiness and contributing data through ReadinessReport.

Edge cases

• Multiple adapters with the same name will override one another; use unique identifiers per module.
• Long-running readiness checks should stream using ReadinessProbeContext.WriteAsync(...) instead of blocking.
• If an adapter depends on optional assemblies, wrap reflection calls with MissingTypes.ThrowIfMissing to guard against trimming.
• Adapters running outside orchestration contexts can bypass OrchestrationRuntimeBridge; ensure your code checks IsOrchestrationAware first.
