Shared Artifact Tracking

Purpose

Shared artifacts are data values appearing in multiple places across a journey. Every ${variable} must have a single source of truth and documented consumers. Untracked artifacts are the primary cause of horizontal integration failures.

Artifact Registry Schema

shared_artifacts:
  {artifact_name}:
    source_of_truth: "{canonical file path}"
    consumers: ["{list of places this value appears}"]
    owner: "{responsible feature/component}"
    integration_risk: "HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW - {explanation}"
    validation: "{How to verify consistency}"
