Task: Publish the conventions as a configuration document
Table of Contents
This page documents a task in the Publish the ACME reports ready to run story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.
1. Goal
The conventions are published reference data, but the report type requires a conventions configuration. Decide what a conventions configuration is for a party, publish it, and make it depend on the convention datasets.
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | ABANDONED |
| Parent story | Publish the ACME reports ready to run |
| Now | Nothing. |
| Waiting on | Nothing. |
| Next | Begin implementation. |
| Last touched | 2026-10-11 |
3. Acceptance
- Each party holds a conventions configuration that a definition can bind to, published after its conventions.
- The dataset declares its dependency on the convention datasets.
4. Plan
(Implementation strategy. Written when work starts; key decisions
are distilled into the parent story's * Decisions at close, but the
plan itself stays — it is the historical record of what we did.)
5. Measurements
Every number this task claims about a tree, with the command that produced it
and the commit it was measured at. A number without both is not a measurement,
because a clean-up record describes a tree and trunk moves under a branch: a
consumer count, a gate's component count and a suite's size all change with no
code changing, and the reader of a bare number cannot tell which tree it came
from. Where the raw output matters, put it in an evidence/ file beside the
task and name that file in the Command column.

10. Result
Retired on 2026-10-11. The task "Store the report configuration documents in DQ and populate ACME's" covers this work in one deliverable: phase A adds the DQ side of the four required kinds, and the ACME datasets follow in its second part.
