ObjectQL Implementation Progress Report

Last Updated: January 15, 2026
Version: 1.8.4
Total Lines of Code: ~26,000 TypeScript LOC

Executive Summary

ObjectQL is a universal metadata-driven protocol for AI Software Generation, designed as the "Trinity" foundation:

  • ObjectQL (Protocol) - The Data Layer
  • ObjectOS (Runtime) - The Brain
  • Object UI (View) - The Face

This document tracks implementation progress against the documented standard protocol specifications in /docs/spec/.

Overall Implementation Status: 70% ✅

Layer Status Completion
Core Protocol (@objectql/types) ✅ Production 85%
Runtime Engine (@objectql/core) ✅ Production 80%
Data Drivers ✅ Production 75%
Server Runtime ✅ Production 75%
Business Process Layer ⚠️ Partial 35%

1. Architecture Compliance

✅ The "Constitution" - Zero Circular Dependencies

Status: COMPLIANT ✅

The architectural principle is strictly enforced:

@objectql/types (Pure TypeScript, ZERO deps)
       ↑
       │
@objectql/core (Universal Runtime)
       ↑
       │
@objectql/platform-node (Node.js Bridge)
       ↑
       │
Drivers (SQL/Mongo/SDK)

Verification:

  • ✅ @objectql/types has no dependencies on @objectql/core
  • ✅ @objectql/types has no dependencies on any driver
  • ✅ Both Backend and Frontend can safely import from @objectql/types

    • Basic automation triggers
    • Estimated: 4-6 weeks

Medium-Term (Q2 2026)

  1. 🟡 GraphQL API (documented but not implemented)

    • Schema generation from metadata
    • Query/Mutation resolvers
    • Subscription support
    • Estimated: 2-3 weeks

  2. 🟡 CLI Enhancements

    • objectql validate command
    • objectql introspect command
    • Better error messages
    • Estimated: 2 weeks

Long-Term (Q3-Q4 2026)

  1. 🟢 Advanced Features
    • WebSocket real-time API
    • Rate limiting
    • Caching layer
    • Multi-tenancy
    • Estimated: 8-10 weeks

12. Known Issues & Technical Debt

High Priority

  1. Missing Workflow Types - Blocking enterprise adoption
  2. CLI Missing Validation - No metadata validation command
  3. Limited Test Coverage for SDK - Client reliability concerns

Medium Priority

  1. No GraphQL Implementation - Despite having documentation
  2. Authentication is Placeholder - JWT/token validation not complete
  3. No Rate Limiting - Production scalability concern

Low Priority

  1. No WebSocket Support - Real-time features unavailable

13. Compliance Matrix

Architecture Principles

Principle Status Compliance
Zero Circular Dependencies ✅ 100%
Universal Runtime (No Node.js in Core) ✅ 100%
Strict TypeScript ✅ 100%
Metadata-Driven ✅ 100%
Driver Agnostic ✅ 100%
Error Handling (ObjectQLError) ✅ 95%
English-Only Code ✅ 100%

File Naming Conventions

Convention Compliance Notes
*.object.yml ✅ 100% Supported
*.validation.yml ✅ 100% Supported
*.permission.yml ✅ 100% Supported
*.hook.ts ✅ 100% Supported
*.action.ts ✅ 100% Supported
*.app.yml ✅ 100% Supported

14. Conclusion

ObjectQL has achieved 70% implementation of the documented standard protocol. The foundation is solid with:

✅ Strengths:

  • Complete type system for core metadata (Objects, Validation, Hooks, Actions, Permissions)
  • Production-ready SQL/Mongo drivers
  • Robust server runtime with file attachments
  • Excellent documentation quality
  • Zero circular dependencies (architectural compliance)

⚠️ Gaps:

  • Workflow engine (critical for enterprise)
  • GraphQL/WebSocket APIs (documented but not implemented)

🎯 Recommendation: Focus on Workflow Engine (workflow.ts) as the highest priority to complete the business process layer.

Next Review: March 2026
Target Completion: 90% by Q2 2026
