Add Tech Stack and Monetization sections to OpenPRD (0.3) (#144)
Some checks are pending
CI / build (push) Waiting to run
test / test (push) Waiting to run

OpenPRD 0.2 fixed eight body sections, none of which asked what the thing is
built on or how it earns. The stack got chosen in the first implementation PR
instead of at review, and a PRD could be filled out completely without anyone
writing down who pays. PRD 0006 had already grown a hand-rolled
`## Business model` section, which is the gap showing.

0.3 adds two required sections between `UX Notes` and `Success Metrics`:

  - Tech Stack — languages, frameworks, datastores, third-party services, and
    anything the work must not depend on. It makes the requirements costable.
  - Monetization — the revenue model: who pays, for what, how much, and when.
    `_None._` stays a valid answer, but it now has to be said out loud.

Adding required sections would normally invalidate every document already
written, so a document is now held to the section list its own `openprd:` key
fixes. A 0.2 document keeps conforming with eight sections, forever; a 0.3
document needs ten. Adoption is per document, and `logicsrc prd validate
--expect-version 0.3` (new flag, wiring up the validator option that already
existed) reports the stragglers as OP-L-VERSION.

The front-matter schema is untouched — both additions are body sections.

Conformance bundle proves both directions: invalid/missing-monetization.md
fails with OP-C-SECTION-MISSING, and valid/legacy-0-2.md passes unedited.

This repo's own PRDs 0001-0006 stay at 0.2 as standing evidence that the
compatibility rule holds. PRD 0007 records the decision at 0.3.

- it lives at `prd/<id>-<slug>.md` with a four-digit `<id>`, - it lives at `prd/<id>-<slug>.md` with a four-digit `<id>`,
- its front-matter validates against `openprd-prd.schema.json`, - its front-matter validates against `openprd-prd.schema.json`,
- `id` equals the filename's numeric prefix, and - `id` equals the filename's numeric prefix, and
- all eight body sections are present in order. - all ten body sections are present in order.
## Versioning
A document is judged against the version it declares in its own `openprd:`
key, not against the newest one. That is what makes it safe to add a section:
| Version | Sections | Change |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `0.2` | eight | Problem … Risks & Open Questions |
| `0.3` | ten | adds `Tech Stack` and `Monetization` after `UX Notes` |
So a `0.2` document keeps conforming forever, and validators MUST hold it to
the eight sections `0.2` fixed. Adopting `0.3` in an existing collection is a
per-document edit: bump `openprd` to `"0.3"` and add the two sections, using
`_None._` where they do not apply. Nothing forces a whole collection to move at
once; a collection that wants uniformity asks for it with
`logicsrc prd validate --expect-version 0.3`, which reports every document
declaring something else as `OP-L-VERSION` (a warning, or an error under
`--strict`). Each document is still validated against the sections its own
version fixes.

# Add Tech Stack and Monetization sections to OpenPRD
## Problem
OpenPRD 0.2 fixes eight sections, and two questions that decide whether a
product decision is a good one are missing from all of them.
The first is what the thing is built on. Requirements cannot be costed without
it, so the stack gets picked in the first implementation PR instead, by
whoever opens it, and the PRD that was supposed to record the *why* is silent
on the most expensive choice in the change.
The second is how it earns. Every section in 0.2 is about the user and none is
about the business. A PRD can be filled out completely, reviewed, accepted, and
shipped without anyone writing down who pays. Across the fleet that is exactly
the question that goes unanswered until after launch.
## Goals
- A reader of any OpenPRD 0.3 document can tell what it will be built on and
how it earns without leaving the file.
- The stack and the revenue model are settled at review time, when changing
them is still cheap, rather than in the implementing PR.
- "This does not earn on its own" stays a legitimate answer, said out loud
rather than by omission.
- Every document already written against 0.2 keeps conforming, untouched.
## Non-Goals
- No financial modelling: the section states a model, not a forecast, and
nothing validates the numbers.
- No architecture review: `Tech Stack` names what will be used, it is not an
ADR and does not replace one.
- No forced migration. Collections adopt 0.3 per document, or never.
- No front-matter change. Both additions are body sections; the schema is
untouched.
## Users
- **Authors** — human or agent — who now have somewhere to put two decisions
that were previously made in silence.
- **Reviewers**, who get a costable stack and a stated revenue model in the
document they are already reading.
- **Third-party implementers** of the standard, who need to know that a
document is judged against the version it declares.
## Requirements
- R1 [P0] `## Tech Stack` and `## Monetization` are required body sections in
OpenPRD 0.3, in that order, between `## UX Notes` and `## Success Metrics`.
- R2 [P0] Both accept `_None._`, like every other section.
- R3 [P0] A document is validated against the section list its own `openprd:`
key fixes, so a `0.2` document is still held to eight sections and still
conforms.
- R4 [P0] `logicsrc prd new` scaffolds ten stub sections, and the shipped
template carries both.
- R5 [P1] The conformance bundle proves both directions: a 0.3 document missing
`Monetization` fails with `OP-C-SECTION-MISSING`, and a 0.2 document with
eight sections passes.
- R6 [P1] The specification states the compatibility rule and how to adopt 0.3
in an existing collection.
- R7 [P2] `draft_prd` and `review_prd` on the MCP surface ask for both
sections, and `review_prd` challenges a stack too vague to cost and a
monetization answer that dodges who pays.
## UX Notes
Nothing about authoring changes: the sections appear in the template and in
`logicsrc prd new` output, with the same `_TODO:` placeholders as the rest.
The failure a validator produces for a 0.3 document that predates the change is
the ordinary `OP-C-SECTION-MISSING`, naming the section and listing what the
declared version requires — so the fix is visible in the message, and the
alternative fix (leave it at 0.2) is a one-line edit.
## Tech Stack
No new dependency. TypeScript in `packages/openprd` (the section list moves
from one constant to a version-keyed lookup), the existing JSON Schema in
`packages/schemas` — unchanged, since the front-matter is unchanged — the
Markdown fixtures beside it, the Next.js landing page in `apps/logicsrc-web`,
and the MCP surface in `packages/logicsrc-mcp`. Vitest covers it.
## Monetization
_None._ OpenPRD is an open standard published to be copied and cited; it is not
sold and carries no plan, meter, or SKU. It earns indirectly, by making the
LogicSRC standards surface worth adopting — and, from this change onward, by
making sure every product decision downstream of it has answered the revenue
question in writing.
## Success Metrics
- Every PRD written in this repo from 0007 onward declares `0.3` and fills both
sections.
- The conformance bundle's 0.2 fixture keeps passing, unedited, across future
releases: the proof that the version rule holds.
- Reviews stop discovering the stack in the implementation PR.
## Risks & Open Questions
- Ten required sections is more ceremony, and ceremony gets skipped. If
`Monetization` becomes reflexive `_None._` on every PRD, the section has
failed and should be reconsidered rather than left as decoration.
- Version-aware validation means two live section lists forever. A third
addition would make three; at that point the rule needs a real deprecation
policy rather than a growing lookup.
- Open: whether this repo's own 0001-0006 should be migrated to 0.3 or left as
the standing evidence that 0.2 documents still conform. Left at 0.2 for now.
