Pattern Proposal: Workspace Bootstrap and Template Injection

Summary

Scaffolds new project repositories by injecting foundational governance blocks, directory structures, and standard templates.

Candidate Pattern

• ID: workspace-bootstrap-template-injection
• Classification: architectural
• Maturity: strategic_direction
• Type: emerging

Observed Signals

No specific signals listed.

Evidence

Supporting Evidence

• src/cas_runner/bootstrap.py (init_workspace, bootstrap, merge_cas_governance_block) - Provides workspace scaffolding and governance block merging.

Scope Assessment

• Evidence Strength: high
• Confidence: high
• Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas

Rationale

• Intent: Ensure new or target repositories instantly adhere to organizational governance layouts without manual copy-pasting.
• Context: CAS runner targets external or local project repositories that need to be enrolled in continuous architecture governance.
• Force: Manual repository setup creates inconsistent folder naming and missing templates.
• Force: Target projects may already have existing governance configs that must be merged rather than overwritten.
