Release Notes: v0.2.0

Release Date: 2026-09-13

Highlights

v0.2.0 adds change analysis and container/sandbox topology to the SAS model, and renames the Go module to match the renamed repository:

  • Semantic diff engine — a typed ChangeSet between two architectures, with change-impact classification.
  • Baseline / Assessment / ChangeReview model — structured review of an architecture change against a baseline.
  • FedRAMP change-assessment profile — three-outcome change classification with control-mapping hooks and decision-support language.
  • Container & sandbox topology — new compute.container / compute.sandbox node kinds and container / sandbox boundary kinds for K8s-native and sandboxed-execution modeling; the Threat Model Spec bridge now emits sandbox / container / breached instead of collapsing to network.
  • Module rename — github.com/plexusone/systems-architecture-spec → github.com/plexusone/systemspec-architecture.

What's New

Semantic Diff and Change Review

A new diff package computes a typed ChangeSet between two Architecture models, classifies the impact of each change, and produces a Baseline/Assessment/ChangeReview structure for reviewing an architecture change against a baseline.

FedRAMP Change-Assessment Profile

diff/fedramp provides a three-outcome change classification (with control-mapping hooks and decision-support language) aimed at FedRAMP significant-change assessments.

Container & Sandbox Kinds

  • Node kinds: compute.container (an OCI container or Kubernetes Pod) and compute.sandbox (a CaaS/code-interpreter sandbox or microVM).
  • Boundary kinds: container and sandbox.
  • bridge/threatmodel.boundaryType() now emits sandbox / container / breached rather than collapsing these to network.

See SPEC.md §2.1 and §4 for the updated kind taxonomies.

Module Rename

The Go module and repository were renamed to github.com/plexusone/systemspec-architecture. Update imports accordingly:

import "github.com/plexusone/systemspec-architecture/sas"

Installation

go get github.com/plexusone/systemspec-architecture@v0.2.0
