PolyBuild represents a revolutionary approach to distributed build orchestration that eliminates the complexity and inefficiencies inherent in traditional multi-pass compilation systems. This proof-of-concept (POC) repository demonstrates the practical implementation of single-pass dependency resolution through cost-based dynamic functions, establishing the foundation for enterprise-grade build infrastructure.
Primary Mission: Transform complex, cyclic build dependencies into linear, deterministic compilation workflows that scale efficiently across distributed development environments while maintaining mathematical guarantees of correctness and performance.
Contemporary build systems operate through cyclic dependency resolution patterns:
Tokenizer (Lexical Analysis) → Parser (Semantic Analysis) → AST → Parser (Feedback Loop)
This cyclical approach introduces three critical failure modes:
-
Coupling Dependency Hierarchy: Components cannot be developed independently due to tight integration requirements, forcing adopters to couple additional code for feature development
-
Cardinality Case Resolution: Extended AST implementations trigger cardinality dependencies based on relationship modeling and instance creation, requiring complex resolution algorithms
-
Diamond Dependency Versioning: Multi-pass systems inherently create diamond dependency patterns that become mathematically intractable at scale
PolyBuild implements the Single-Pass Hierarchical Structuring methodology:
TOKENIZER → PARSER → AST (Terminal State)
Advantages of Linear Progression:
- Seamless Component Interoperability: Each component develops independently without coupling requirements
- Zero Cardinality Resolution: Linear dependency chains eliminate cardinality case complexity
- Diamond Dependency Elimination: Acyclic dependency graphs prevent versioning conflicts
PolyBuild leverages NLink's dynamic cost evaluation to transform UML-style relationship modeling into deterministic build sequences. The cost function operates as:
C = Σ(metrici × weighti) + λc + δt ≤ 0.5
Where:
metrici∈ {dependency_depth, function_calls, external_deps, complexity}weightirepresents architectural impact coefficientsλc = 0.2 · capplies penalty for circular dependenciesδtmeasures temporal pressure from system evolution
The system operates through three governance zones:
| Cost Threshold | Zone Classification | Architectural Response |
|---|---|---|
| C ≤ 0.5 | AUTONOMOUS ZONE | Standard single-pass compilation |
| 0.5 < C ≤ 0.6 | WARNING ZONE | Monitoring with optimization recommendations |
| C > 0.6 | GOVERNANCE ZONE | Mandatory component isolation and refactoring |
When cost thresholds exceed sustainable limits, PolyBuild executes Sinphasé isolation protocols:
- Directory Structure Creation: Generate isolated component hierarchies in
root-dynamic-c/ - Independent Build System: Deploy standalone Makefile with explicit dependency declarations
- Interface Contract Resolution: Establish clean boundaries through governance contracts
- Audit Trail Documentation: Record architectural decisions in
ISOLATION_LOG.md - Single-Pass Validation: Verify deterministic compilation requirements

Proof Sketch: Single-pass dependency resolution eliminates feedback loops that introduce non-determinism. Cost-based governance ensures component complexity remains within tractable bounds. Linear dependency chains provide mathematical guarantees of termination and consistency.
Proposition: Component isolation triggered at cost threshold C > 0.6 preserves all functional semantics while eliminating architectural complexity.
Validation: Isolation protocol maintains interface contracts through explicit boundary definitions. Governance audit trails provide verification of semantic preservation across isolation boundaries.
