Initial scaffold for the dev-department subtree repo. No workspace
content yet — that lands in Phase 3c-2 (extract dev tree with git
history from molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-dev).
Files:
- dev-department.yaml manifest with defaults + category_routing,
empty roots: [] (gets populated by extract).
- .molecule-ci/scripts/validate-tree.py
orphan / reachability lint. Walks manifest
→ roots → recursive children + !include,
compares against filesystem, reports
orphans + cross-tree '..' refs + duplicate
parents + missing workspace.yaml. Exits
non-zero on any violation. Stdlib only +
PyYAML.
- .github/workflows/validate.yml
CI gate runs the validator on every PR +
push to main/staging. Pinned action SHAs
per saved memory feedback_pin_third_party_actions.
- README.md explains subtree contract: parent template
must symlink the dev-department under a
short name (e.g. `dev`), workspace
files_dir paths inside this repo use the
symlink prefix, this repo is NOT directly
importable as a standalone org template.
- .gitignore ignore .env (per-workspace secrets are
populated by platform import, never
committed).
- .gitattributes force LF on shell/Python/YAML.
Verified locally:
- empty tree → "OK — tree is clean", exit 0.
- cross-tree `..` fixture → exit 1, FAIL with reported violation.
- orphan fixture → exit 1, FAIL with reported orphan folder.
