Executive Summary

This sub-scenario covers the end-to-end flow where developers use powerx plugin init on the command line to select a template, scaffold a standard project, install dependencies, and register the repository with Git. The workflow must finish within one minute, producing the directory structure, manifest, permission declarations, sample tests, and CI configuration while simultaneously triggering license and vulnerability scans. Once complete, the developer receives a ready-to-push project with unified lint/test tooling and audit traces.

Scope & Guardrails

• In Scope: CLI version validation, template pulling, project skeleton generation, dependency installation, Git initialization with first commit, basic scan and report output.
• Out of Scope: subsequent feature development, team collaborative cloning, third-party source import, Marketplace publishing.
• Environment & Flags: PX_PLUGIN_SCAFFOLD_V2, plugin-import-audit; requires access to template registry, npm/pip mirror, compliance scan service and Git registration API.

Participants & Responsibilities

Scope	Repository	Layer	Responsibilities & Deliverables	Owners
plugin-ecosystem	powerx-plugin	proto	CLI parameter parsing, template version management, dependency installation scripts, example code generation	Michael Hu (Plugin Tech Lead / tech@artisan-cloud.com)
core-platform	powerx	service	initialization validation, Git registration, CI template distribution, audit logs & telemetry	Michael Hu (Plugin Tech Lead / tech@artisan-cloud.com)
security	powerx	security	license & dependency scanning, risk report generation, exemption channel management	Grace Lin (Security & Compliance Lead / compliance@artisan-cloud.com)

End-to-End Flow

1. Stage 1 – CLI Environment Validation: The developer runs powerx plugin init; the CLI checks the local binary version, template index, and credential validity.
2. Stage 2 – Template Selection & Project Generation: The CLI fetches the template for the selected language and capability, generating the directory structure, configuration files, sample code, and helper scripts.
3. Stage 3 – Dependency Installation & Scanning: The CLI installs dependencies, triggers license/vulnerability scans, and surfaces the report with remediation guidance.
4. Stage 4 – Git Registration & First Commit: The CLI initializes a Git repository, creates the first commit, invokes the platform API to register the remote repository, and provisions CI configuration plus the initial branches.

Key Interactions & Contracts

• APIs / Events: powerx plugin init <template>, powerx plugin init --check, POST /internal/plugins/bootstrap/validate, POST /internal/compliance/licensescan, POST /internal/git/register.
• Configs / Schemas: config/plugins/templates/index.yaml, docs/standards/powerx-plugin/lifecycle/manifest-mapping.md, .powerxci/pipeline.yaml.
• Security / Compliance: CLI requires HMAC signature verification; scan blocks high-risk dependencies; Git registration enforces minimum privilege PAT; audit events written to audit.plugin.bootstrap.

Usecase Links

• UC-DEV-PLUGIN-CLI-INIT-001 — CLI initialization of standard project with Git registration completion.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Project generation time ≤60 seconds, directory structure and manifest meet standard validation.
2. Dependency installation & basic test scripts execute successfully, scan report shows no high-risk items or exemptions issued.
3. After Git initialization, automatically create main and develop branches, CI pipeline in ready state.

Telemetry & Ops

• Metrics: cli.init.duration_ms, cli.init.failure_rate, cli.init.template_id, cli.init.scan_block_count.
• Alert Thresholds: initialization failure rate >5% or scan block count for 3 consecutive times triggers alert; Git registration timeout >120 seconds escalates to P1.
• Observability Sources: CLI telemetry, workflow-metrics.mjs report, compliance scan dashboard, Git Webhook audit.

Open Issues & Follow-ups

Risk/Issue	Impact Scope	Owner	ETA
Template dependency mirror unstable in offline environment, initialization prone to failure	offline/restricted network	Michael Hu	2025-12-08
Scan exemption process not fully integrated with CLI, requires manual synchronization	compliance audit	Grace Lin	2025-12-15
