Bitcoin Implementation Consolidation Strategy

[AIR-3][AIS-3][BPC-3]

Overview

This document outlines the strategy for consolidating multiple Bitcoin implementation branches into a cohesive, hexagonal architecture-based implementation that follows the Bitcoin Development Framework v2.5 requirements.

Source Branches

  • feature/bitcoin-core: Core Bitcoin implementation
  • feature/bitcoin-implementation: Implementation-specific details
  • feature/bitcoin-layer2: Layer 2 protocols (RGB, DLC, Lightning)
  • feature/bitcoin-testing: Testing infrastructure
  • feature/bitcoin-hexagonal-architecture: Hexagonal architecture structure (base branch)

Consolidation Approach

  1. Structure First: Maintain the hexagonal architecture from feature/bitcoin-hexagonal-architecture
  2. Preserve ports and adapters pattern
  3. Keep proper separation of concerns

  4. Maintain BIP implementation documentation

  5. Implementation Details: Selectively incorporate from other branches

  6. Core Bitcoin functionality from feature/bitcoin-core
  7. Layer 2 protocols from feature/bitcoin-layer2

  8. Testing infrastructure from feature/bitcoin-testing

  9. Conflict Resolution Priorities:

  10. Structure conflicts: Prefer hexagonal architecture
  11. Implementation conflicts: Manual merge preserving functionality
  12. Documentation conflicts: Combine comprehensive documentation from all branches

Implementation Checklist

  • [ ] Core Bitcoin implementation
  • [ ] BIP-341 (Taproot)
  • [ ] BIP-342 (Tapscript)
  • [ ] Consensus rules
  • [ ] Script interpreter

  • [ ] Transaction validation

  • [ ] Layer 2 protocols

  • [ ] RGB protocol integration
  • [ ] DLC support
  • [ ] Lightning integration

  • [ ] RSK bridge

  • [ ] Testing infrastructure

  • [ ] Unit tests
  • [ ] Integration tests
  • [ ] Benchmarks
  • [ ] BIP compliance tests

Compliance Verification

All consolidated code will be verified against:

  1. Bitcoin Development Framework v2.5 requirements
  2. AI labeling standards [AIR-3][AIS-3][BPC-3]
  3. Hexagonal architecture principles
  4. BIP implementation status documentation

Next Steps

  1. Create consolidated PR from feature/bitcoin-consolidated to dev
  2. Review and approve individual component consolidations
  3. Run comprehensive test suite
  4. Merge to dev upon successful validation
