Conformance Milestone iv — CI drift gate

Goal: Ship pnpm conformance — a cross-feature drift check that aggregates ALL feature manifests and fails on an orphan event consumer (a manifest declares consumes: ["X"] but no other manifest declares publishes: ["X"]). Wired into turbo.json and GitHub Actions CI.

Architecture: A small Node.js script (scripts/conformance.mjs) walks packages/*/src/feature.manifest.ts files, reuses the iii.b AST parser (parseManifestUseCases), builds global publish/consume sets across all features, exits non-zero on orphan consumers. Turbo task + CI step wire it into the normal validate pipeline.


Tasks

Task 1: Story 04 scaffold

Create docs/work/conformance-system-v1/04-ci-drift-gate/_story.md:

---
id: 04-ci-drift-gate
epic: conformance-system-v1
title: CI drift gate — pnpm conformance with cross-feature event closure
type: technical-story
status: in-progress
feature: scripts
depends-on: [03-b-ast-eslint-rules]
blocks: [05-generator-updates]
---

## Goal
`pnpm conformance` aggregates cross-feature checks that no single-file
ESLint rule can perform — most importantly, event closure: every event
declared in any manifest's `consumes` must have at least one matching
`publishes` somewhere in the repo.

## Why
Per-file lint can't see cross-feature contracts. Without this gate, a
feature can declare it consumes `X` while no feature publishes `X` —
silent until the broken handler is exercised in prod.

## Done when
- `pnpm conformance` exits 0 when manifests are consistent; non-zero
  with a clear error message on orphan consumers
- Wired into `turbo.json` as the `conformance` task
- Wired into `.github/workflows/ci.yml` after `pnpm lint`

## In scope
- `scripts/conformance.mjs` — orphan-consumer check
- Tests via vitest
- turbo.json + CI wiring

## Out of scope
- Scaffold drift check (regenerate via `turbo gen feature`, diff against
  on-disk state) — depends on generator updates landing
- Repository write outside use-cases check — separate concern
- Reverse check (orphan publishers — events nothing consumes) — many
  events are intentionally "fire and forget"; not a closure violation

## Tasks
- [ ] Story scaffold
- [ ] `scripts/conformance.mjs` implementation
- [ ] Tests for the script
- [ ] Wire into root package.json + turbo.json
- [ ] Wire into ci.yml
- [ ] Final verification + closeout

Commit: docs(work): story 04 — CI drift gate.

Task 2: scripts/conformance.mjs + tests

Create the script and its test alongside.

scripts/conformance.mjs:

#!/usr/bin/env node
/**
 * pnpm conformance — cross-feature drift gate.
 *
 * Walks every `packages/*\/src/feature.manifest.ts`, reuses the AST parser
 * from `@repo/core-eslint` to extract per-use-case publishes/consumes,
 * builds global publish + consume sets across all features, and fails on:
 *
 *   - Orphan consumer: a feature declares `consumes: ["X"]` but no
 *     feature publishes "X".
 *
 * Exits 0 on success, 1 on any violation. Prints a tabular summary of
 * the event graph for transparency.

Commits:

  1. git add scripts/conformance.mjs scripts/conformance.test.mjs && git commit -m "feat(scripts): conformance drift gate + tests"

(One commit for both because they're trivially related and the test file is part of the script's interface.)

Task 3: Wire pnpm conformance + turbo task

Modify root package.json. Add this script entry (alongside existing scripts):

"conformance": "node scripts/conformance.mjs"

Modify turbo.json. Add this task (alongside existing lint, test, etc.):

"conformance": {
  "inputs": [
    "packages/*/src/feature.manifest.ts",
    "scripts/conformance.mjs",
    "packages/core-eslint/rules/_manifest-ast.js"
  ],
  "outputs": []
}

Verify by running pnpm conformance. With auth as the only manifest (no publishes, no consumes), output should report "No cross-feature events declared yet — nothing to check." and exit 0.

Also run the vitest:

pnpm vitest run scripts/conformance.test.mjs

5 tests should pass.

Commit: feat: wire pnpm conformance script + turbo task.

Task 4: Wire conformance into CI

Modify .github/workflows/ci.yml. Find the step - run: pnpm lint. Add immediately after it:

      - run: pnpm conformance

Commit: ci: add conformance step after lint.

Task 5: Final verification + closeout

Run:

pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
pnpm lint
pnpm conformance
pnpm turbo boundaries

All pass.
