Architecture: SAP-style ERP — People

[curtisdelicata]

Implementation epic

Deliver the People capability in the SAP-style ERP application repository as an independently owned, testable module. The domain specification remains authoritative for business behavior; API, Filament 5, and Livewire 4 are one-to-one presentation packages and must not move business rules into presentation code.

Specification details

Domain

SAP: People

Canonical independent module specification

Domain module: sap-people
Application: SAP
Capability group: Module plan
Source scope: SAP.md
Architecture: MODULES.md · TESTING.md · API.md · FILAMENT.md · LIVEWIRE.md

1. Purpose

The People module owns Workforce records, recruitment, onboarding, skills, absence, performance, learning, compensation, and payroll interfaces. It is the authoritative boundary for this capability and must remain independently installable, testable, versioned, enabled, and reusable across compatible Liberu applications.

2. Full feature scope

• Workforce records: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Recruitment: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Onboarding: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Skills: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Absence: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Performance: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Learning: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Compensation: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.
• Payroll interfaces: implement the complete lifecycle, validation, permissions, failure handling, audit evidence, and operator/user feedback required by this capability.

3. Ownership and boundaries

• Own the capability's domain rules, policies, actions, queries, events, persistence, migrations, configuration, audit semantics, and failure recovery.
• Expose stable contracts, immutable DTOs/read models, commands, queries, and past-tense domain events where other modules have a legitimate integration need.
• Consume identity, organizations/teams, authorization, settings, files, notifications, queues, localization, currency, and observability from the shared foundation rather than duplicating them.
• Never depend on an application's App\ classes, another module's private tables/models, a provider SDK in provider-neutral code, or an optional presentation framework.
• Keep Filament, Livewire, and HTTP API logic in matching one-to-one presentation packages when those surfaces are required.

4. Implementation strategy

Domain model

• Define aggregates, entities, value objects, enums, invariants, lifecycle states, and transition rules using the terminology in this specification.
• Make invalid states unrepresentable where practical and enforce remaining invariants at every mutation boundary.
• Use opaque stable identifiers and explicit actor, tenant, locale, timezone, and currency context where relevant.

API contract

SAP: People API

Canonical one-to-one API module specification

API package: module-sap-people-api
Matching domain module: sap-people
Application: SAP
Source feature: People
Architecture: API.md · MODULES.md · TESTING.md

1. Purpose and ownership

This optional API presentation package exposes approved HTTP operations for the People domain module. It presents exactly one independent module, delegates all authoritative behavior to that module's public actions/queries/policies, and contains no other module's API logic.

The domain capability includes:

• Workforce records
• recruitment
• onboarding
• skills
• absence
• performance
• learning
• compensation
• payroll interfaces

Installation does not expose every capability automatically. The host application selects this package, API version, audiences, route groups, and operations in its API manifest.

2. Contract design

Filament surface

SAP: People Filament

Canonical one-to-one Filament 5 implementation

Filament package: module-sap-people-filament
Matching domain module: sap-people
Application: SAP
Source feature: People
Architecture: FILAMENT.md · MODULES.md · TESTING.md

1. Purpose and ownership

This optional Filament 5 presentation package presents exactly one independent domain module. It contributes reusable resources, pages, widgets, schemas, tables, infolists, and actions to application-owned panels while delegating authorization, validation, tenancy, persistence, and business rules to the sap-people public boundary. It must not contain another module's UI or depend on application App\ classes.

2. Module-specific surfaces

• Workforce records: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Recruitment: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Onboarding: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Skills: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Absence: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Performance: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Learning: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Compensation: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.
• Payroll interfaces: resource/table/form/action or page behavior for this module's authorized workflow.

3. Filament 5 implementation

• Register a stable module-sap-people-filament plugin and discover only classes in this package's namespace; applications attach it explicitly to each eligible panel.
• Keep resources under src/Resources, resource pages and relation managers beneath their resource, and shared module-local widgets/pages under src/Widgets and src/Pages.

Livewire surface

SAP: People Livewire

Canonical one-to-one Livewire 4 implementation

Livewire package: module-sap-people-livewire
Matching domain module: sap-people
Application: SAP
Source feature: People
Architecture: LIVEWIRE.md · MODULES.md · TESTING.md

1. Purpose and ownership

This optional Livewire 4 presentation package provides interactive server-driven components for exactly one independent domain module. Components coordinate public queries/actions and presentation state; they do not own persistence, authorization decisions, tenancy, business rules, or theme identity. The package has no dependency on application App\ classes or another module's internals.

2. Module-specific interactions

• Workforce records: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Recruitment: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Onboarding: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Skills: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Absence: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Performance: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Learning: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Compensation: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.
• Payroll interfaces: interactive component state, validation feedback, loading, and failure recovery for this domain capability.

3. Livewire 4 implementation

• Register a stable module-sap-people-livewire component namespace and service provider; use explicit aliases such as <livewire:module-sap-people::component-name /> according to LIVEWIRE.md.
• Keep reusable components under src/Components, full-page components under src/Pages, and package views under resources/views.

Acceptance criteria

• Domain ownership, boundaries, data lifecycle, permissions, tenancy, events, failure recovery, telemetry, and migrations match the domain specification.
• API routes/operations/events, versioning, authentication, authorization scopes, validation, idempotency, errors, pagination, rate limits, and observability match the API specification.
• Filament package identity, panel/resource/page/widget inventory, authorization, tenancy, navigation, theme integration, accessibility, and cache/discovery behavior match the Filament specification.
• Livewire package identity, aliases, component inventory, state/actions/events, loading/failure states, authorization, tenancy, accessibility, and lifecycle behavior match the Livewire specification.
• Unit, feature, contract, architecture, security, compatibility, migration/upgrade, and presentation tests cover allowed, denied, invalid, duplicate, concurrent, wrong-tenant, partial-failure, and recovery paths as applicable.
• README, changelog, runbook, API/presentation documentation, release notes, and adoption/upgrade guidance are complete.

Explicit exclusions

Do not implement unrelated independent modules, application App namespace coupling inside reusable packages, private cross-module table/model access, provider SDK leakage into provider-neutral code, or business authorization solely in UI/API presentation layers.
