pre-dev-dependency-map

To create an explicit dependency map, load your TRD, Ring Standards, and PROJECT_RULES.md, then run the mapping process to generate exact version numbers with rationales for all technology decisions. This ensures reproducible builds and standards compliance before coding begins.

Technology decision versioning explicitly captures tech stack choices with exact versions and rationales to prevent drift and risk. It validates deployment models and infrastructure against project standards, ensuring reproducible builds and documented security or licensing considerations across large-track initiatives.

Document security and licensing considerations by mapping each per-category technology decision to its exact version with a recorded rationale. The dependency map process captures these considerations alongside deployment models and tech stacks during the pre-development phase.

You need a completed TRD, loaded Ring Standards, and a PROJECT_RULES.md file. These inputs provide the deployment models, tech stack requirements, and governance rules required to map per-category decisions to exact versions with documented rationales.

Run dependency mapping after TRD completion and after loading Ring Standards and PROJECT_RULES.md, but before development begins. This pre-development phase timing ensures all technology decisions are explicitly versioned and validated against standards before code is written.
