System State Invariant Validation
This module provides comprehensive system state invariant checking for the Agent Orchestration Platform,
ensuring consistent system state across all operations and detecting corruption or inconsistencies.
Architecture Integration:
- Design Patterns: Observer pattern for state monitoring, Template Method for validation sequences
- Security Model: Continuous validation of security invariants with automatic recovery mechanisms
- Performance Profile: O(n) validation where n = number of agents, with incremental validation support
Technical Decisions:
- Invariant Categories: Resource, security, state, communication, and persistence invariants
- Validation Triggers: On-demand validation, scheduled validation, and event-driven validation
- Recovery Actions: Automatic correction for minor issues, alerts for major inconsistencies
- Audit Integration: All invariant violations logged with full context and recovery actions
Dependencies & Integration:
- External: None beyond standard library for maximum reliability
- Internal: All core modules for comprehensive system state access
Quality Assurance:
- Test Coverage: Property-based testing for invariant validation with edge cases
- Error Handling: Graceful handling of validation failures with detailed error reporting
