PolyBuild POC: Single-Pass Build Orchestration Framework

🎯 Purpose & Strategic Objective

PolyBuild represents a revolutionary approach to distributed build orchestration that eliminates the complexity and inefficiencies inherent in traditional multi-pass compilation systems. This proof-of-concept (POC) repository demonstrates the practical implementation of single-pass dependency resolution through cost-based dynamic functions, establishing the foundation for enterprise-grade build infrastructure.

Primary Mission: Transform complex, cyclic build dependencies into linear, deterministic compilation workflows that scale efficiently across distributed development environments while maintaining mathematical guarantees of correctness and performance.

🔄 Problem Statement: Multi-Pass vs Single-Pass Paradigms

Traditional Multi-Pass System Limitations

Contemporary build systems operate through cyclic dependency resolution patterns:

Tokenizer (Lexical Analysis) → Parser (Semantic Analysis) → AST → Parser (Feedback Loop)

This cyclical approach introduces three critical failure modes:

1. Coupling Dependency Hierarchy: Components cannot be developed independently due to tight integration requirements, forcing adopters to couple additional code for feature development

2. Cardinality Case Resolution: Extended AST implementations trigger cardinality dependencies based on relationship modeling and instance creation, requiring complex resolution algorithms

3. Diamond Dependency Versioning: Multi-pass systems inherently create diamond dependency patterns that become mathematically intractable at scale

Single-Pass Architectural Solution

PolyBuild implements the Single-Pass Hierarchical Structuring methodology:

TOKENIZER → PARSER → AST (Terminal State)

Advantages of Linear Progression:

• Seamless Component Interoperability: Each component develops independently without coupling requirements
• Zero Cardinality Resolution: Linear dependency chains eliminate cardinality case complexity
• Diamond Dependency Elimination: Acyclic dependency graphs prevent versioning conflicts

🏗️ Technical Architecture: NLink Integration Framework

Dependency Resolution Through Cost Functions

PolyBuild leverages NLink's dynamic cost evaluation to transform UML-style relationship modeling into deterministic build sequences. The cost function operates as:

C = Σ(metrici × weighti) + λc + δt ≤ 0.5

Where:

• metrici ∈ {dependency_depth, function_calls, external_deps, complexity}
• weighti represents architectural impact coefficients
• λc = 0.2 · c applies penalty for circular dependencies
• δt measures temporal pressure from system evolution

Governance Zones & Architectural Triggers

The system operates through three governance zones:

Cost Threshold	Zone Classification	Architectural Response
C ≤ 0.5	AUTONOMOUS ZONE	Standard single-pass compilation
0.5 < C ≤ 0.6	WARNING ZONE	Monitoring with optimization recommendations
C > 0.6	GOVERNANCE ZONE	Mandatory component isolation and refactoring

Component Isolation Protocol

When cost thresholds exceed sustainable limits, PolyBuild executes Sinphasé isolation protocols:

1. Directory Structure Creation: Generate isolated component hierarchies in root-dynamic-c/
2. Independent Build System: Deploy standalone Makefile with explicit dependency declarations
3. Interface Contract Resolution: Establish clean boundaries through governance contracts
4. Audit Trail Documentation: Record architectural decisions in ISOLATION_LOG.md
5. Single-Pass Validation: Verify deterministic compilation requirements

🔬 Research Foundation: Mathematical Guarantees

Deterministic Build Theorem

Theorem: For any build configuration B with cost function C(B) ≤ 0.5, PolyBuild guarantees deterministic compilation with bounded resource usage O(n log n) where n represents component count.

Proof Sketch: Single-pass dependency resolution eliminates feedback loops that introduce non-determinism. Cost-based governance ensures component complexity remains within tractable bounds. Linear dependency chains provide mathematical guarantees of termination and consistency.

Component Isolation Correctness

Proposition: Component isolation triggered at cost threshold C > 0.6 preserves all functional semantics while eliminating architectural complexity.

Validation: Isolation protocol maintains interface contracts through explicit boundary definitions. Governance audit trails provide verification of semantic preservation across isolation boundaries.
