Environment Artifact Envelope

THE single declaration of the environment artifact envelope (#4740, #4535 C10 — maintainer route A′). @objectstack/spec/cloud re-exports this file; both entry points resolve to these exact symbols, so the chosen entry point can never change the shape a consumer gets (the #4411 dual-source trap, closed for this name).

Describes the response shape of GET /api/v1/cloud/environments/:environmentId/artifact — the assembled artifact ObjectOS pulls from the control plane, and the shape the runtime metadata loader parses at boot (packages/metadata/src/plugin.ts, _parseAndRegisterArtifact — the one runtime Zod parse of this envelope).

Distinct from the marketplace PackageArtifactSchema (a .tgz file listing). This envelope wraps the compiled ObjectStackDefinitionSchema produced by objectstack compile together with control-plane assigned identity (commitId, checksum).

Boundary

• Artifact (this schema): compiled environment metadata plus provenance. Immutable, content-addressable via commitId and checksum.
• Deployment Config (NOT in this schema): business DB coordinates, credentials, environment identity, secrets. Injected at runtime.

See content/docs/concepts/north-star.mdx §6.3 for the runtime-inputs boundary.

History (#4740)

This file previously documented a richer "v0" envelope — a { algorithm, value } checksum object, a category-bag metadata, inlined functions[], a required plugin/driver manifest, and a reserved payloadRef indirection — that NO producer or consumer ever implemented: objectstack compile ships function code as standalone runtime modules referenced from the compiled definition, and the control plane has always served the wire shape below (string SHA-256 checksum, metadata = the compiled definition). The declaration converged to the live wire shape; the never-implemented keys are tombstoned below (ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove: declared = enforced, or absent).
