One data contract, two adapters

Every read and write in the app goes through getRepo(), which returns a Repository. Two implementations satisfy it: an in-memory demo adapter hydrated from a deterministic seed, and a Postgres adapter over Supabase. Feature code never imports either directly.

  • Demo mode is the default and needs zero environment variables. Mutations are process-local and reset on cold start.
  • Supabase mode switches on when the URL and anon key are set. RLS is the authorisation layer; money and reputation move only through security-definer functions.
  • Money is an integer number of cents everywhere. Timestamps are ISO strings.

Simulated runtime

A run's progress is a pure function of its start time and its delivery SLA — no randomness, no external call. When it completes, a deliverable is generated from the gig's own output contract. Every run in the District is labelled Simulated run, and the audit log says so explicitly.
