Frank.* → Novolis naming and structure

Status: Signed off 2026-05-17 (maintainer execution). Blocks: extraction briefs and migrate-frank-slice.ps1 until this doc is updated for new packages.

Authoritative mapping for extract/rebuild migrations. Package IDs, folder paths, namespaces, and public API names must match this document.

Related: naming.md, frank-inventory.md, frank-migration-runbook.md.

Sign-off

Repo ↔ domain (reserved — do not rename)

Structural rule (Frank → Novolis)

Frank uses project folders at repo root. Novolis uses:

novolis-<domain>/
  src/Novolis.<Domain>.<Facet>/
  tests/Novolis.<Domain>.Unit/     # single TUnit project per solution
    <Facet>/                       # tests grouped by project under test
  tests/Novolis.<Domain>.TestSupport/   # optional shared fixtures (not a test runner)
  samples/                    (when Frank had Samples/)
  Novolis.<Domain>.slnx
  .novolis/packages.json
  Directory.Build.props
  Directory.Packages.props
  global.json

On extract: move projects into src/ / tests/; do not preserve Frank flat root layout.

NuGet package naming (P0 — resolved)

Facet decisions:

• Messaging DI: facet name `Channels`, not DependencyInjection.
• Testing output helpers: `Novolis.Testing.TUnit` — extensions on TUnit TestContext (naming.md: TUnit only, no xUnit).
• Bedrock: drop “BedrockSlim”; use `Tcp` segment.
• Storage: explicit packages only; no meta Novolis.Storage umbrella in wave 3.

Preview versioning

Migration publish gate (not org bootstrap)

First migration trusted-publish validation: `Novolis-Platform/novolis-messaging`, workflow release.yml, environment nuget.org, package `Novolis.Messaging.Channels` 0.1.0-preview.1.

novolis-smoketest remains org bootstrap / template CI only.
