# Ekklesia module template

This is the smallest supported backend-only Ekklesia module. It proves the static manifest,
compiled runtime and schema entrypoints, capability registration, a module-owned Drizzle table, a
generated module-owned migration, and logical storage-bucket declarations. Migration execution,
API routing, and storage provisioning are intentionally not included.

To create a module inside this repository:

1. Copy this directory to `modules/<module-id>`.
2. Rename the package in `package.json` and remove `private` when it is ready for publication.
3. Update the ID, name, version, namespaces, compatibility ranges, and bucket requests in
   `ekklesia.module.json`.
4. Keep the manifest capability versions and dependency ranges aligned with the contracts the
   module actually implements and consumes.
5. Replace `src/server/index.ts` with backend behavior only. Its `defineModuleRuntime` ID and version
   must match the manifest; do not duplicate the rest of the manifest in TypeScript.
6. Replace the pure Drizzle declarations in `src/schema/tables.ts` and keep its table prefix aligned
   with the module ID. Keep the `defineModuleSchema` ownership wrapper in `src/schema/index.ts`
   aligned too, and never import another module's schema.
7. Update `drizzle.config.ts`, generate forward migrations with `pnpm migration:generate
   --name=lowercase_name` from the module directory, and review the SQL. Keep each generated tag in
   `drizzle/meta/_ekklesia.json`, classify it as `none` or `approval-required`, and change that
   file's `moduleId` when renaming the template.
8. Run `pnpm install`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm modules:validate`, `pnpm migrations:validate`, and
   `pnpm verify` from the repository
   root. The declared production entrypoint is the compiled `dist/server/index.js`, not source
   TypeScript; the schema entrypoint is likewise compiled to `dist/schema/index.js`.

Do not add UI components, styles, renderers, navigation, or layouts. Those belong to surfaces.
Keep imports side-effect-free, register capabilities in `register`, acquire resources in `start`,
and release them in `stop`.

The migration directory uses the pinned stable Drizzle Kit `0.31.10` PostgreSQL journal and
snapshot format. Migrations are forward-only and may modify only this module's objects. Offline
validation treats SQL as opaque bytes, calculates SHA-256 from the exact contents, and never opens a
database or executes SQL. Destructive declarations are review metadata, not automatic SQL
classification or approval.
