# `_parity/` — integration-demo parity tooling
Keeps `examples/integrations/*` demos aligned to a single north-star so
drift doesn't pile up as the canonical demo evolves.
**North-star (v1):** `langgraph-python` — the richest demo (todos state, 5
tools, polished prompt, full frontend canvas). Every other integration demo
should track it.
## What gets tracked
Declared in [`manifest.json`](./manifest.json):
- **verbatim files** — copied byte-for-byte from north-star to each instance
(frontend components, hooks, lib, public assets, shared Docker files,
`docker-compose.test.yml`, `entrypoint.sh`, `postcss.config.mjs`, etc.)
- **package.json keys** — tracked dependency versions and script names
(`@copilotkit/*`, `next`, `react`, shared dev scripts). Per-instance
overrides in manifest (`packageJsonOverrides`) win where the instance
legitimately differs (e.g. `dev:agent` runs `npm install` in JS but
`uv sync` in FastAPI).
- **canonical prompt** — `_parity/canonical/PROMPT.md`. Each agent
**inlines** the prompt as a string literal in its source (matching the
north-star's `main.py` pattern). Verifier greps the canonical prompt's
first non-blank line against instance agent source — drift = error.
- **agent surface** — tool names + state keys expected to appear in each
instance's agent source. Grep-level check — doesn't validate call-site
correctness, that's the aimock fixture tests' job.
## What doesn't get tracked (allowed divergence)
Per-instance `allowedDivergence` list in `manifest.json`:
- `agent/**` — agents are written in different languages/runtimes (Python
create_agent, TS StateGraph, Python StateGraph+FastAPI). Human-authored.
- `src/app/api/copilotkit/**` — north-star uses `LangGraphAgent`, Docker
instances use `HttpAgent`. Different routes.
- `Dockerfile`, `docker/Dockerfile.agent`, `serve.py`, `scripts/**`
language-specific build/run tooling.
Anything outside both `tracked` and `allowedDivergence` is "no-op" — the
verifier neither checks nor touches it.
## Commands
From the repo root:
```bash
# Sync a single instance to north-star (copies verbatim files, rewrites
# package.json keys, writes canonical prompt to agent/PROMPT.md)
pnpm parity:sync --target=langgraph-js
# Dry-run: show what would change without writing
pnpm parity:sync --target=langgraph-js --dry-run
# Sync every non-north-star instance
pnpm parity:sync --all
# Verify — exits non-zero on unexpected drift
pnpm parity:verify
pnpm parity:verify --target=langgraph-js
# CI invocation (same as verify, no color)
pnpm parity:check
```
## Typical workflows
### North-star changed — sync instances
```bash
pnpm parity:sync --all
pnpm parity:verify
# fix any agent-surface drift manually in the relevant agent/src/ files
git add . && git commit
```
### Adding a new instance
1. Create the new demo under `examples/integrations/<name>/` with a
Next.js frontend at the root and an `agent/` dir.
2. Add an entry to `manifest.json` under `instances`:
```json
"new-demo": {
"role": "instance",
"agent": { "language": "python", "runtime": "..." },
"allowedDivergence": ["agent/**", "src/app/api/copilotkit/**",
"Dockerfile", "docker/Dockerfile.agent",
"serve.py", "scripts/**"],
"packageJsonOverrides": { "scripts.dev:agent": "..." }
}
```
3. Run `pnpm parity:sync --target=new-demo`.
4. Hand-port the agent code (tools, state, prompt loading) — manifest
`tracked.agentSurface` tells you what tool names and state keys are
required.
5. Run `pnpm parity:verify --target=new-demo` until green.
### North-star's agent surface changed
Edit `manifest.json` → `tracked.agentSurface.toolNames` / `stateKeys`.
The verifier will then flag every instance that hasn't caught up.
### Canonical prompt changed
1. Edit `_parity/canonical/PROMPT.md`.
2. Update north-star's `agent/main.py` to use the new prompt string
(north-star is where humans read; canonical file is what the
verifier reads).
3. Port the new prompt into every instance's agent source (same
manual-merge rules as any agent change).
4. `pnpm parity:verify` — verifier greps first line of canonical against
each instance's agent source. Passes when all instances inline it.
## CI
`.github/workflows/integrations_parity.yml` runs `pnpm parity:check` on
every PR that touches `examples/integrations/**`. Failures link the
contributor back to this README.
## Design notes
- **Declarative, not prescriptive.** The manifest says _what_ is tracked;
the scripts just walk it. Adding a new tracked file = one line change,
not a code change.
- **Allowed-divergence is explicit, not implicit.** Everything is either
tracked, declared-divergent, or ignored — no silent "probably different"
state.
- **Agent surface is grep-level, on purpose.** A real AST check would be
three times the code and still miss semantic drift. The existing aimock
fixture integration tests (under `fixtures/default.json` per instance)
are the real correctness check; this is the "did someone rip out
`manage_todos`" safety net.
- **North-star is read-only to the scripts.** `sync.ts` refuses to write
into the north-star directory even if asked. Verifier never touches
anything.
