Purpose and Scope

Covers UC-001 "Create a new project". It refines the concepts of DM-001 into design classes and turns the messages of SD-001 into method signatures, so that every method traces to a contract in OC-001 or to a message in SD-001. Class and attribute names are the IT terms of DICT-001. The project-level model that consolidates all use cases is DCD-002.

The classes are design classes of a Bash program: a class is a group of functions in src/lib/ with its data held in the shared state arrays (see "Implementation Mapping"). There is no object-oriented runtime, but the responsibilities, associations and dependencies below are the ones the code keeps.

Failure handling (the exceptions of OC-001) is one rule of ProjectCreator, stop and report, and is not drawn.

ToolChecker	none (system concept ToolCheck)	Detects the required and optional tools.	none	check
Preflight	none (system concept PreflightResult)	Runs the read-only checks of both hosts before anything is created.	none	check

Pattern Annotations

Pattern	Classes	Rationale
Controller (GRASP)	ProjectCreator	One entry for the system operations; coordinates and does no HTTP, git or file work itself
Facade (GoF)	GitHost, GiteaClient, GitHubClient	Each client hides one host's HTTP API and keeps the token inside; no other class sees a credential. GitHost holds the operations both share
Pure Fabrication (GRASP)	ConfigLoader, ToolChecker, CredentialCollector, EnvFileWriter, Preflight, LocalProjectBuilder, FrameworkInstaller, SummaryReport	No domain concept owns these responsibilities; small units keep cohesion high
Creator (GRASP)	ConfigLoader creates Configuration; GiteaClient creates GiteaRepository and PushMirror	The creating class holds the data needed to build the object
Protection from variations (GRASP)	GiteaClient, GitHubClient, ProjectRequest	The optional GitHub path is decided by the controller; the clients do not know it
Data Transfer Object (GoF-style)	InstallResult	Carries the three results of install in one return value

Dependency Check

No circular dependency. ProjectCreator depends on every helper class and no helper depends on it. Preflight depends on the two clients; the clients extend GitHost and depend only on Configuration. The data classes form a tree: Run holds Configuration, ToolCheck and ProjectRequest; ProjectRequest reaches the repositories and the LocalProject; Summary points at ProjectRequest and nothing points back at it. CredentialCollector and EnvFileWriter depend only on Configuration, Credential and LocalProject; the only class that holds a secret after the run is EnvFile, and only as a copy written to the Maintainer's own disk. Repository is shared by Remote and PushMirror without a cycle.

SOLID check: no class has more than one reason to change (one host API, one kind of local work, one report); the clients can be replaced behind the same operations; the controller depends on the operations, not on how a host or git is called. ProjectCreator has two operations and no data, so it is not a god class.
