docs(architecture): import the FDS architecture decisions from the lab repo (closes #159) (#160)
## What & why

Brings the engineer-facing FDS documentation next to the code it describes. Imported from `projects/open-register-fd/` in `Respellion/innovation-lab` and translated to Dutch: **six ADRs**, the ADR index and template, the **L3 component view**, and the **slice-1 proposal**.

The architecture blueprint, the FDS gap analysis and the two privacy views stay in the lab repo — the OKRs cite them and they feed tender responses. Each side names the split in a "Wat ligt waar" table, so nothing is documented twice.

Closes #159

### Why `docs/architecture/fds/` and not `docs/architecture/`

This repo's own ADR series now runs `adr-0001-loose-coupling` … `adr-0010-bff-oidc`. The imported set is numbered 0001–0006, so a flat import would collide across the whole imported range. The subfolder preserves the imported numbering, and with it roughly thirty `ADR-000N` cross-references inside the imported text that would otherwise all need rewriting.

In the MkDocs sidebar the imported six appear as **FDS ADR-000N** so they are not confused with this repo's series. `docs/architecture/fds/README.md` explains the two series.

### Mermaid support was missing

`pymdownx.superfences` had no `custom_fences`, so the imported diagrams would have published to Gitea Pages as raw code blocks. This PR adds the mermaid custom fence, the nav group, and one link under *Where to go* in the docs index.

## Definition of Done

- [x] Linked Gitea issue (above).
- [ ] Failing test committed before the implementation. — n/a, documentation only.
- [ ] Implementation makes the test pass. — n/a, documentation only.
- [x] Conventional Commits referencing the issue (`refs #159`).
- [x] Rebased on current `main`; no conflicts.
- [ ] CI green — n/a for content; the docs verification is below.
- [ ] `docker compose up` reaches green health checks. — n/a, no runtime change.
- [x] Docs updated if behaviour, contracts, or operations changed.
- [x] ADR added in `docs/architecture/` if a non-obvious decision was made. — six imported, plus the numbering decision recorded in the folder README.
- [ ] Demo note in `docs/demo-script.md`. — n/a, nothing user-visible.

## Verification run

- `mkdocs build` — clean. No missing-nav warning for any `architecture/fds/` entry. The two remaining warnings are pre-existing on `main` and untouched here: the set of pages absent from `nav`, and a broken link in `runbooks/ci.md` to `services/acl/stryker-config.json`.
- Mermaid renders as a diagram, not a code block: `site/architecture/fds/c4-component-view/index.html` contains `class="mermaid"`.
- All relative markdown links in the repo resolve.

## Notes for reviewers

- **Language.** The imported documents are Dutch; this repo's own documents remain English. Deliberate, not an oversight — the lab repo standardised on Dutch and these pages moved with it. Translating the rest is a separate decision.
- **Ownership.** This repo sits in the `eho/` namespace while it now holds the canonical FDS architecture decisions that tender answers point at. Worth deciding whether it should move to `Respellion/`.
- **Scope drift, not fixed here.** The imported text is faithful to its source, so the slice-1 proposal and the ADRs assume NHR/KVK for slice 1, while the lab-side blueprint still uses BAG as its example register. The lab-side documents carry a banner about this; Blueprint v2 (slice 5) is where the diagrams get corrected.
- **Companion PR:** `Respellion/innovation-lab` #34 holds the lab-side half of this split.Reviewed-on: #160

register-reference

A reference application demonstrating how to build a Dutch government register (a BIG-style professional register) on top of unforked Common Ground modules — OpenZaak, Open Notificaties, Objecten, Open Klant — with loose coupling, modern workflow tooling, and data-governance ready integration points.

This repository is the runnable companion to Respellion's Foundations playbook entry on Common Ground architecture for non-municipal contexts (CIBG, DUO, RVO, and similar uitvoeringsorganisaties).

Status: under active development. See BACKLOG.md for the current iteration.

Document Purpose
docs/PRD.md What we're building and why. Goals, non-goals, architecture summary, scope. Read once at project start.
CLAUDE.md How we work. Engineering principles, TDD/DDD/BDD discipline, non-negotiable architectural rules, Gitea conventions. Read every task.
BACKLOG.md Iteration plan. A curated mirror of the active Gitea milestone — Gitea Issues are the system of record.
docs/architecture/ Diagrams (Mermaid sources) and ADRs. Start with adr-0001-loose-coupling.md.
docs/runbooks/ Operational guides: local startup, seeding, common failures, CI debugging.

The day-to-day operational pages — environment URLs, known issues right now, on-call notes — live in the Gitea Wiki for this repository. The wiki points at docs/ for anything authoritative.


What this application demonstrates

  • A BIG-style professional register modelled on Dutch public-sector patterns, with four end-user portals: self-service, openbaar register, behandel-portal, beheer-portal.
  • Common Ground modules as upstream peers — never forked, reached only via documented APIs (ZGW, NRC events).
  • An Anti-Corruption Layer that confines all ZGW knowledge to one place, so the rest of the codebase stays domain-shaped rather than municipality-shaped.
  • BPMN + DMN workflows via Flowable as a separate, swappable module — using the external-task job-worker pattern so BPMN models never reach into OpenZaak.
  • A read projection as the public-facing data path, decoupled from the authoritative modules.
  • Synthetic data and mock identity (Keycloak realms standing in for DigiD, eHerkenning, eIDAS, and a medewerker IdP) so the whole system runs locally without external dependencies.
  • TDD, DDD, BDD, mutation testing, ADRs, and Conventional Commits as enforced defaults — encoded in CI.
  • Gitea-native delivery: source, issues, milestones, project boards, releases, container registry, packages, wiki, and Actions.

For the architecture rationale, see docs/PRD.md §3 and docs/architecture/.


Local quickstart

Prerequisites

  • .NET 10 SDK (for make lint/build/unit)
  • A container engine with Compose v2 — Docker, or rootless Podman (see docs/runbooks/ci.md for the Podman + Compose-provider setup)
  • make, curl, git
  • ~4 GB free RAM, ~5 GB free disk (grows as services land)

Clone

git clone git@git.labs.respellion.tech:eho/register-referentie.git
cd register-referentie

Wired today (Iteration 0): only the placeholder BFF exists so far. Get to green in under 10 minutes — run the full check gate, or just the running service:

make ci          # lint + build + unit + container smoke — the CI gate
docker compose -f infra/docker-compose.yml up -d --build --wait
curl http://localhost:8080/health     # -> Healthy

--wait exits non-zero unless the container reports healthy, so it doubles as the compose-up smoke test. The remaining services and the URLs below land in later slices.

Target service URLs (most land in later slices)

Working in this repository

Source of truth for work: Gitea Issues + Milestones for this repository. BACKLOG.md is a mirror.

Branching: trunk-based. Short-lived branches off main, named <type>/<issue-number>-<short-slug> (e.g. feat/14-acl-default-fill).

Commits: Conventional Commits, referencing the Gitea issue:

feat(acl): default-fill bronorganisatie (refs #14)

The merging PR closes the issue via closes #14 in the squash-commit body.

Pull Requests: the unit of review. Squash-merged. PR template enforces the Definition of Done checklist from CLAUDE.md §3.

Releases: CalVer (YYYY.MM.PATCH), tagged on main, changelog generated by git-cliff, published as a Gitea Release with container images in the Gitea Container Registry.

See CLAUDE.md for the full working agreements, the architectural non-negotiables, and the rules Claude Code follows on every task.


Testing

  • Unit tests — dominant. .NET (xUnit) and Angular (Vitest / Testing Library).
  • Integration tests — Testcontainers-driven, exercising real OpenZaak, Flowable, NRC.
  • Acceptance tests — Gherkin scenarios in tests/acceptance/, one per user-visible flow.
  • End-to-end — Playwright, expanding slice by slice from the walking-skeleton happy path.
  • Mutation testing — Stryker.NET and Stryker, baseline-ratcheted on main.

Run everything:

./tools/test-all.sh

Run a focused slice (example):

dotnet test services/acl

Contributing

  1. Find or open a Gitea issue using one of the templates in .gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ (slice.md, bug.md, adr-proposal.md).
  2. Assign yourself, move it to "In progress" on the milestone's project board.
  3. Branch off main, follow the CLAUDE.md working agreements (TDD: red commit → green commit → refactor commit).
  4. Open a PR using the template, link the issue, ensure the Gitea Actions pipeline is green.
  5. Squash-merge once approved. The merging commit closes the issue.

If a task pushes against any of the architectural rules in CLAUDE.md §8, stop and open an adr-proposal issue first. That conversation is more important than the code.
