What this unlocks
Inspect provider health
Read a stable domain model for provider reflection & sync without depending on GUI routes or database shapes.
Review mappings and drift
Create a reviewable proposal and apply only the bounded commands the canonical owner permits.
Apply synchronization explicitly
React to durable lifecycle facts and connect external systems with explicit direction and provenance.
Lifecycle and invariants
Provider Reflection & Sync exposes a bounded lifecycle with explicit commands and named authority at every transition.
disconnectedconnectedmappingreadydegradedrevoked| From | To | Command | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| disconnected | connected | Authorize provider | Execute provider SDK and mapping services |
| connected | mapping | Configure mappings | Execute provider SDK and mapping services |
| mapping | ready | Approve mapping | Execute provider SDK and mapping services |
| ready | degraded | Detect source drift | Execute provider SDK and mapping services |
| degraded | revoked | Revoke connection | Execute provider SDK and mapping services |
Lifecycle invariants
- • One Jira provider authority exists.
- • Dry run and apply remain separate and provenance-bearing.
Authority boundaries
The interfaces expose canonical capabilities; they do not become a second owner of domain rules or state.
DigitalStack owns
- • Connection and mapping lifecycle
- • Source reflection and provenance
- • Sync conflict and run history
Explicitly not building
- • Hidden provider-specific canonical fields
- • Automatic conflict resolution
- • A second Jira integration authority
Surface decisions
Deliberate additions, retained boundaries, and removals from the proposed external contract.
Connection status, mappings, reflection, conflicts, drift, and dry-run resources
Provider integrations need a common operational model.
Jira as the first normalized provider
The real foundation should become the canonical Jira story.
Second Jira integration entries and hidden conflict apply
Duplicate authorities and automatic resolution would institutionalize drift.
Interface plan
REST API
PlannedVersioned provider reflection & sync resources, commands, idempotency, and operation status.
Reads + explicit commands
GraphQL
PlannedComposable ExecuteProvider reads with mutations delegated to the same canonical domain service.
Composable reads + bounded delegated mutations
MCP / Agent API
PlannedBounded read, draft, and confirmed apply tools with evidence and audit attribution.
Read + proposal/confirmed commands only
Webhooks
PlannedPast-tense provider sync lifecycle facts with minimal payloads.
Past-tense durable facts only
Connected Apps
PlannedJira / GitHub / Azure DevOps / Linear plus consumer clients, with declared direction and authority.
Declared direction and field authority required
Cross-interface parity
Each surface delegates to the named canonical owner; a blank surface is an intentional denial of authority, not missing documentation.
| Capability | REST | GraphQL | MCP | Webhook | Canonical owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary read | GET /execute/providers | executeProvider(id: ID!): ExecuteProvider | get_provider_reflection | — | Execute provider SDK, source-reflection, and mapping services |
| Primary command | POST /execute/providers | draftExecuteProviderChange(input: DraftExecuteProviderChangeInput!): ExecuteProviderChangeProposal! | draft_provider_reflection_change | provider_sync.created | Execute provider SDK, source-reflection, and mapping services |
Proposed scopes
Proposed scopes are not grantable yet.
execute-providers:readplanned scopeexecute-providers:writeplanned scopeexecute-providers:operateplanned scopeBehavioral contract
Cross-cutting rules every implementation and interface must satisfy.
Canonical delegation
Every interface delegates to Execute provider SDK, source-reflection, and mapping services; no resolver, gateway, worker, or connector reimplements domain rules.
Least-privilege principals
Scopes are evaluated with tenant, role, field-visibility, and principal-type constraints before data is read or changed.
Safe writes
Mutations use explicit confirmation where required, optimistic concurrency, idempotency, and durable actor attribution.
Transactional facts
Webhook facts are emitted from the canonical commit path, versioned, minimal, and safe to redeliver.
Declared provider authority
Every Connected App declares direction, field authority, provenance, and conflict behavior before activation.

Proposed tools
Get Provider Reflection & Sync
get_provider_reflectionRead the authorized provider reflection & sync state, provenance, and allowed actions.
- Scope
- execute-providers:read
- Input
- Resource id or a bounded filter.
- Output
- Canonical detail with source provenance and allowed actions.
- Write boundary
- Read only.
Draft Provider Reflection & Sync change
draft_provider_reflection_changeBuild a reviewable proposal from explicit user intent and DigitalStack evidence.
- Scope
- execute-providers:write
- Input
- Target, requested outcome, expected version, and optional evidence references.
- Output
- A persisted proposal, validation results, and conflicts.
- Write boundary
- Creates a proposal; it does not mutate canonical state.
Apply Provider Reflection & Sync change
apply_provider_reflection_changeApply a reviewed proposal through the canonical service.
- Scope
- execute-providers:operate
- Input
- Proposal id, expected version, idempotency key, and explicit confirmation.
- Output
- Updated canonical resource and audit reference.
- Write boundary
- Confirmation, optimistic versioning, and idempotency required.
User: Review the proposed provider reflection & sync change and help me apply it.
1. Call get_provider_reflection to inspect current state, provenance, and allowed actions.
2. Call draft_provider_reflection_change to create a proposal without changing canonical state.
3. Show validation results, conflicts, and the exact command to the user.
4. After explicit confirmation, call apply_provider_reflection_change with the proposal version.

Authority: Direction, field authority, conflict policy, and writeback are explicit per connection.
Open contract decisions
Resolve before implementation approval
- • Which fields, if any, become bidirectional in the first provider release?
Proof obligations
| Must remain true | Failure indicator |
|---|---|
| Execute provider SDK, source-reflection, and mapping services remains the singular canonical owner. | An interface or connector persists a second authoritative lifecycle state. |
| Draft and apply remain separate actions. | An agent or integration silently converts inferred intent into a canonical mutation. |
| Every write is attributable, versioned, and idempotent. | A retry duplicates work or stale state overwrites a newer human decision. |
| Connected App direction and field authority are explicit. | Provider data silently becomes canonical or conflicts are resolved without policy. |
