Key Configuration Files

Smart Contracts

contracts/hardhat.config.js            ← Network configs, gas settings
contracts/deployed/mainnet.json        ← Deployed contract addresses

Backend Services

civic-ledger/docker-compose.yml        ← Database, indexer, API
codex-router/config/model_config.yaml  ← LLM provider settings
eomm/backend/.env.example              ← Environment variables template

Frontend Apps

eomm/reflection-app/.env.example       ← API endpoints, etc.
humanities-healthcare/*/config/        ← Service-specific configs

Data Flow Map

"How does data move through the system?"

1. Citizen writes reflection (E.O.M.M.)
   └─ eomm/reflection-app/ → eomm/backend/

2. Reflection analyzed for integrity (GI score)
   └─ civic-ledger/indexer/ → calculates GI

3. If GI ≥ 0.95, citizen earns MIC
   └─ civic-ledger/api/ → mints MIC via contracts/MIC.sol

4. Citizen spends MIC on AI query
   └─ codex-router/ → routes to cheapest LLM provider

5. Query cost logged
   └─ resource-orchestration/compute-allocation/

6. Monthly UBI distributed
   └─ contracts/GICGovernor.sol → all citizens with GI ≥ 0.90

7. Surplus allocated to debt repayment
   └─ resource-orchestration/financial-flows/debt_repayment.py

Testing & Quality Assurance

Where are the tests?

Every module has a tests/ directory:

contracts/test/                        ← Smart contract tests (Hardhat)
civic-ledger/*/tests/                  ← Python tests (pytest)
codex-router/tests/                    ← API + routing tests
eomm/reflection-app/src/__tests__/     ← React component tests (Jest)

How to run all tests?

# From root directory
./scripts/run-all-tests.sh

# Or module by module:
cd contracts/ && npx hardhat test
cd civic-ledger/ && pytest
cd codex-router/ && pytest
cd eomm/reflection-app/ && npm test

Deployment Workflows

Development → Staging → Production

1. Developer commits to feature branch
   └─ .github/workflows/test.yml runs tests

2. PR merged to develop branch
   └─ .github/workflows/build.yml builds Docker images

3. Deploy to staging
   └─ infrastructure/kubernetes/staging/

4. Manual testing + review (48 hours)

5. Merge develop → main
   └─ .github/workflows/deploy.yml → production

Contributing Workflow

   └─ github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/kaizen-cycle

2. Clone your fork
   └─ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/kaizen-cycle.git

3. Create feature branch
   └─ git checkout -b feature/my-awesome-feature

4. Make changes, commit
   └─ Follow CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines

5. Push to your fork
   └─ git push origin feature/my-awesome-feature

6. Open pull request
   └─ Base: kaizencycle/kaizen-cycle:develop
       Compare: YOUR_USERNAME/kaizen-cycle:feature/my-awesome-feature

7. Code review + CI tests
   └─ Address feedback, push updates

8. Merge!
   └─ Maintainer merges after approval

Emergency Procedures

"The creator is gone, what do I do?"

  1. Read FORKING_GUIDE.md (complete instructions)
  2. Check CONTACTS.md (try to reach known associates)
  3. Post in community channels (Discord, forum)
  4. Form interim council (5-7 people)
  5. Fork all repositories (preserve the work)
  6. Follow continuity plan (see FORKING_GUIDE.md section "For Custodians")

"I found a critical security vulnerability"

  1. DO NOT post publicly (protect users)
  2. Read SECURITY.md
  3. Email: security@kaizen.gic (PGP encrypted if possible)
  4. Or: Contact Zeus Sentinel (security@founding-agents.gic)
  5. Expect response within 48 hours

"A service is down"

  1. Check status page: https://status.kaizen.gic
  2. Check GitHub issues: Any open incidents?
  3. Join Discord #incidents channel
  4. If no response in 1 hour: Fork + deploy yourself (you have the code)

Final Notes

This repository is designed to be:

  • Self-explanatory (README answers most questions)
  • Forkable (can continue without creator)
  • Modular (each lab is independent)
  • Testable (every module has tests)
  • Deployable (Docker + K8s configs included)
  • Documented (specs for everything)

If something is unclear:

  1. Check this file (REPOSITORY_STRUCTURE.md)
  2. Check README.md
  3. Check module-specific README.md
  4. Open an issue on GitHub
  5. Ask in Discord

If you want to improve this structure:

Pull requests welcome!

The structure should evolve as the project grows. But the core principle remains: anyone should be able to fork and continue this work without the creator.
