From d22a02b18e959dbf9ce0e4c78c7ce0d145332b55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Stull Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 07:52:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] chore(specs): move SD-0001 to its single home in wiggleverse-ecomm-content/specs/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Solution Design is a living contract with one canonical location — the content repo's specs/ collection (submitted there, status graduated, at df616a6).

Business Context - -*The business lens — solution-agnostic throughout. No mechanism is proposed until §2.* - -### 1.1 Executive Summary - -Independent merchants who want to sell online need a commerce platform that -treats them honestly — and today Wiggleverse has nothing to offer them: no way -to exist on the platform, no storefront to own, no surface to manage. This -design delivers the first real value of ecomm: a person can become a merchant — -establish their identity, claim their one storefront, and stand on a stable -management surface — in every environment the platform runs in, from day one. -The beneficiaries are the first merchants (who can finally exist on the -platform) and the ecomm line itself (every subsequent capability — catalog, -orders, checkout — gains a real account-and-storefront spine to attach to, -instead of mocks). Just as importantly, it proves the platform can be brought -to life anywhere from nothing: a fresh, empty environment reaches "first -merchant, first storefront" through the product alone, with no hand-seeded -data — so launching the real service is an ordinary, rehearsed act rather than -a one-off ritual. - -### 1.2 Background - -ecomm is Wiggleverse's multi-tenant, OHM-grounded alternative to Shopify — a -commerce platform whose mechanics are accountable to the -[OHM concept corpus](https://ohm.wiggleverse.org) (no dark patterns, data -minimization, durable addressability, honest pricing). The product was explored -in a first-pass prototype (`wiggleverse-ecomm-prototype`, releases R01–R07, -189 scenario-bound tests) built against a harvested corpus of ~1,238 BDD -scenarios describing Shopify's behavior. That prototype is read-only prior art; -`wiggleverse-ecomm` is the clean greenfield rebuild, stood up 2026-06-10 with -its architecture intentionally undecided until this design. - -The strategic moment: the rebuild has repos, an issue tracker, and a charter — -but no app code and no users. Everything in the product line queues behind one -question: *how does a person come to exist on the platform and own a -storefront?* Until that is answered for real — against real persistence, in -real environments — no other capability can ship honestly. - -### 1.3 Business Actors / Roles - -| Role | Responsible for (in the business) | -| --- | --- | -| **Merchant** | A person running a (small) commerce business who wants to sell under their own storefront: they decide to join a platform, establish their business presence on it, and manage that presence over time. | -| **Platform operator** | The person/org running the ecomm service itself: stands up and maintains the environments the platform runs in, and is accountable for the service being available to merchants. | -| **ecomm team** | Builds the platform; needs each capability to rest on real, shippable foundations rather than mocks. | - -(Shoppers — the merchants' customers — are deliberately *not* an actor in this -design; nothing here is shopper-facing yet. See §1.7.) - -### 1.4 Problem Statement - -A person cannot become a merchant on ecomm. There is no way to establish an -identity on the platform, no way to claim a storefront, and no surface from -which to manage one — the platform has no users because it cannot have users. -And even if it could, there is today no defined path from "fresh, empty -environment" to "working platform serving its first merchant": local -development, pre-production, and production bring-up are all undefined, so -nothing built on top can ever actually launch. - -### 1.5 Pain Points - -| # | Pain | Who feels it | Cost / frequency today | -| --- | --- | --- | --- | -| PP-1 | No way to establish an identity on the platform — a would-be merchant simply cannot exist on ecomm. | Merchant | Total exclusion; blocks every merchant, always. | -| PP-2 | No way to own a storefront or reach a management surface — even an identity would have nothing to hold. | Merchant | Total; there is no unit of "my business" on the platform. | -| PP-3 | Every subsequent capability (catalog, orders, checkout, policies) has nowhere real to attach — work would have to build on mocks and be redone. | ecomm team | Blocks the entire product line; rework risk on everything shipped against fakes. | -| PP-4 | No defined, repeatable path from an empty environment to a working platform — bring-up of dev, pre-prod, and prod is folklore. | Platform operator | The service cannot launch anywhere; every environment question is open-ended toil. | - -### 1.6 Targeted Business Outcomes - -| Outcome | Success metric | Baseline → Target | Guardrail (must not regress) | How / when measured | -| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | -| Merchants can exist on the platform | A real person can go from stranger to merchant-with-storefront, unaided | impossible → possible in every environment | No dark patterns at the door: no trial clock, no payment demand, no plan wall (OHM: Agency & Anti-Manipulation) | Walk the flow end-to-end in each environment at release | -| The product line is unblocked | Subsequent Features attach to a real account + storefront spine | everything mocked → nothing mocked | The spine doesn't need rework to host the next Feature (no throwaway auth/tenancy) | First post-MVP Feature builds on it without spine changes | -| Launching anywhere is routine | A fresh, empty environment reaches "first merchant signs up and creates the first storefront" through the product flows alone | folklore → documented, rehearsed gesture | Zero hand-seeded data in any environment | Bootstrap rehearsal executed on pre-prod, then prod, at release | - -### 1.7 Scope (business) - -- **In scope:** a person establishing an identity on the platform (joining and - returning); a merchant establishing their one storefront; the merchant - standing on a stable management surface for it; the platform being - bring-up-able from empty in every environment it runs in (local development, - pre-production, production). -- **Out of scope (later designs):** anything sold or bought — catalog, orders, - checkout, payments; the shopper-facing public storefront; teams/staff - (anyone besides the one merchant touching the storefront); plans, billing, - or any commercial relationship between merchant and platform; storefront - settings/management beyond simply *having* the surface. -- **Non-goals:** gating who may join (the prototype admitted users by - invitation; ecomm is an open product — anyone may become a merchant, and - re-introducing an admission gate is explicitly not pursued); supporting more - than one storefront per merchant *in this design* (the business wants the - door left open, not the capability now). - -### 1.8 Assumptions · Constraints · Dependencies - -- **Assumptions:** - - One storefront per merchant is the right *experience* bar for the MVP; - multiple-storefront merchants are a future need, not a current one. Risk - if wrong: an early merchant genuinely needs a second storefront — accepted; - the data is designed to keep that door open (Feature #1 constraint; INV-4). - - Merchants are reachable by email and will complete an email-based step to - join. Risk if wrong: an entry channel rethink — accepted at MVP scale. -- **Constraints:** - - OHM-groundedness is a charter constraint: entry must be honest — no - manufactured urgency, no data collected beyond need, no lock-in mechanics. - - The three environments are a constraint, not a stretch goal: Feature #1's - acceptance says no environment is "later". - - Wiggleverse engineering standards apply (handbook): provisioning and - deploy via flotilla (§8), secrets never in repos or transcripts (§6.3), - private repos by default (§5.5). -- **Dependencies:** - - **flotilla / launch-app** for environment provisioning and deploy (the - operator-run front door, handbook §8.5) — needed when the pre-prod and - prod environments are stood up. - - An **email delivery channel** for the entry step in real environments — - needed by the production-readiness slice (§7). - -### 1.9 Business Use Cases - -**BUC-1 — As a merchant, I can establish my identity on the platform, so that I can begin doing business there.** - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-1 — A stranger becomes known to the platform - Given a person who has never dealt with the platform - When they present themselves and prove who they are - Then the platform knows them as a returning individual from then on - And they were asked for nothing beyond what proving who they are required -``` - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-1a — A person who cannot prove who they are is not admitted as someone else - Given a person presenting an identity they cannot prove - When their proof fails - Then the platform does not mistake them for the claimed identity - And the genuine owner of that identity is unharmed -``` - -- **BUC-1 acceptance criteria:** the same person, returning later, is - recognized as the same merchant; two different people are never conflated; - no personal data beyond the minimum was demanded (OHM: Privacy & Data - Minimization). - -**BUC-2 — As a returning merchant, I can resume my standing on the platform, so that my business presence persists beyond a single visit.** - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-2 — A known merchant returns - Given a merchant the platform already knows - When they return and prove who they are - Then they resume exactly the standing they had — same identity, same storefront -``` - -- **BUC-2 acceptance criteria:** returning costs only the proof-of-identity - step; nothing about their standing is lost or reset. - -**BUC-3 — As a merchant, I can establish my storefront, so that my business has a presence of its own on the platform.** - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-3 — A merchant claims their storefront - Given a merchant known to the platform who has no storefront yet - When they establish their storefront - Then the platform holds exactly one storefront that is theirs - And establishing it cost them nothing and committed them to nothing -``` - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-3a — One storefront is the bar - Given a merchant who already has their storefront - When they deal with the platform - Then they are never led toward acquiring a second one -``` - -- **BUC-3 acceptance criteria:** every merchant who completes the step has - exactly one storefront; no payment, plan, or commitment was demanded - (corpus: 14.01.0015, 14.01.0016); the platform's books would still be - correct if a merchant were someday allowed several (the 1-1 bar is an - experience rule, not a law of the data — Feature #1 constraint). - -**BUC-4 — As a merchant, I can stand on a management surface for my storefront, so that everything I will later do for my business has a home.** - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-4 — The merchant arrives at their storefront's home - Given a merchant with a storefront - When they return to the platform - Then they arrive directly at their storefront's management surface - And it is honestly empty — it claims no capability that does not exist yet -``` - -- **BUC-4 acceptance criteria:** arrival is direct (no dead ends, no limbo — - a merchant *without* a storefront is guided to establish one instead, never - stranded); the surface carries the storefront's identity and nothing - fabricated. - -**BUC-5 — As a platform operator, I can bring the platform to life in a fresh environment, so that merchants can be served there without any hand-built state.** - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-5 — An empty environment reaches its first merchant - Given a brand-new environment with empty persistence - When the operator performs the documented bring-up gesture - And the first merchant walks the ordinary product flows - Then the environment serves that merchant a working storefront - And no data was placed by hand at any step -``` - -```gherkin -Scenario: BUC-5a — Bring-up is rehearsable - Given the bring-up gesture documented for one environment - When it is performed in the next environment (dev → pre-prod → prod) - Then it is the same gesture, and day-one production is simply the bootstrap state -``` - -- **BUC-5 acceptance criteria:** bring-up is a repeatable, documented gesture - (not folklore); it holds identically in local development, pre-production, - and production; the first merchant arrives through the product flows alone. - ---- - -## 2. Solution Proposal - -**Build the first vertical slice of the ecomm web application** — a -multi-tenant modular monolith that carries forward the prototype's *proven* -shape and inverts its *disqualifying* assumption: - -- **Carry forward** (validated by R01–R07 of the prototype): a four-layer - Python backend (`entrypoint → api → domains → platform`) with the layer - contract mechanically enforced; SQLite (WAL) with forward-only numbered - migrations and no ORM; a React/Vite SPA admin talking to a screen-shaped - REST BFF; scenario-bound end-to-end tests (one test per BDD scenario ID); - OHM concepts cited inline next to the rules they ground. -- **Invert** (the prototype's bootstrap was the wrong way round for a real - product): **no seeded tenant and no admission gate.** The prototype was born - with one hard-coded store and one invited owner; ecomm is born *empty*. - Identity is open sign-up via **email + one-time code** (passwordless; - corpus 14.01.0003–0004), the storefront is created *through the product* by - its merchant, and an empty database is a first-class, fully working state — - which is precisely what makes BUC-5's bootstrap story true by construction - rather than by tooling. -- **Defer** (YAGNI for four screens): the prototype's second API surface - (GraphQL) is not built in this MVP; the layering keeps the seam so it can be - added later as a projection over the same domain core. Google/Apple OAuth - and sign-in-by-emailed-link (corpus 14.01.0005–0007) are deferred the same - way — the email-canonical identity rule (14.01.0010) keeps them addable - without account migration. - -**Why this approach** over the alternatives: - -- *Do nothing / concierge* (hand-create merchants on request): fails BUC-5 - outright (every merchant is hand-seeded state) and validates nothing — the - prototype already validated the need; the open question is productionizing. -- *Re-architect on a heavier stack* (Postgres, separate services, SSR - framework): buys scale and rendering properties the MVP measurably does not - need, at the cost of slower iteration and a bigger bootstrap surface — - directly against the "launching anywhere is routine" outcome (§1.6). The - single-VM flotilla deployment standard (handbook §8) favors the lighter - stack; revisit at real scale (§6.7, §7.4). -- *Resume the prototype codebase*: it bakes in the seeded-tenant and - invite-gate assumptions at the foundation, and the rebuild exists precisely - to lay clean foundations. Its *patterns* are kept; its code is reference - only. - -**Solution-specific scope:** the landing page, sign-up/log-in (email + -one-time code), create-storefront (both entry points: post-sign-up and -returning-without-storefront), the empty admin shell, sign-out, and the -bring-up story for localhost/PPE/Prod including real email delivery in -deployed environments. - -**Solution-specific non-goals (this release):** GraphQL surface; OAuth -providers and magic-link completion; the onboarding questionnaire and POS -opt-in from the corpus first-run flow (14.01.0017–0024) — the merchant lands -directly on their admin; storefront rename/settings (14.01.0025 makes naming -optional at creation; *changing* it later is the Settings Feature's job); -account-lifecycle polish beyond what passwordless entry gives for free -(password reset does not exist because passwords do not exist; the one-time -code *is* email verification; account deletion is deferred and logged in §9). - ---- - -## 3.

Visual language: calm, -text-first, honest — no countdowns, no badges, no fake density. - -### 5.1 Screen: Landing (serves PUC-1) - -- **Purpose:** a Visitor learns what ecomm is and picks a door. -- **Layout (top → bottom):** - - **Header:** wordmark "ecomm" (left); "Log in" link (right). - - **Primary content:** one short value statement (what ecomm is, in OHM - voice — honest commerce, your storefront is yours); primary button - **"Create your storefront"**. - - **Footer:** minimal (project identity). -- **States:** happy only — static page. A signed-in Merchant hitting `/` is - redirected per entry routing (§6.5, PUC-6/PUC-5). -- **Notifications:** none. - -### 5.2 Screen: Sign in (serves PUC-2, PUC-3; two steps) - -- **Purpose:** the single email + one-time-code flow behind both doors. -- **Step 1 — email entry:** - - **Header:** wordmark; back-to-landing link. - - **Primary content:** heading framed by the door used ("Create your - storefront" / "Log in" — same form); email field (label "Email"; - autofocus); primary button **"Send code"**; one line of honest copy: - "We'll email you a one-time code.

Technical Design - -### 6.1 Invariants - -- **INV-1 — Empty is a working state.** The application boots against empty - persistence, applies its own schema migrations, and serves the full - sign-up → storefront → admin flow. No code path assumes a pre-existing row; - there is no seed step. *Enforced mechanically:* the bootstrap test (§6.8) - runs the whole flow from a fresh database; it is the first test of the - suite. -- **INV-2 — Email is the canonical account key.** One account per email - (case-insensitively normalized); any future auth method resolves to the - same account by email (corpus 14.01.0010). *Enforced:* unique index on the - normalized email column. -- **INV-3 — One-time codes are handled like secrets.** Stored only as hashes; - expire after 10 minutes; single-use; at most 5 verification attempts per - code; resend no more than once per 60 seconds per email.
