Meridian Engineering / Lab 2 / 120 minutes
One refund across
a service boundary.
Two repositories. Both build. Both have passing tests. They still do not agree with each other.
Orchestrate scoped AI contexts across the TTA Payment Processor boundary while keeping engineering authority over the decisions between them.

Bring the foundations with you.
This lab builds on Lab 1’s practice of governing one AI-assisted change inside one repository. You’ll need Java 17+, Maven 3.9+, Python 3.9+ with PyYAML, Git, and the Workbench plugin. Complete the setup before the session.
Give each context a scope.
Write a buildable specification and a plan with repository boundaries and compatibility reasoning.
Prove the pair.
Preserve retry identity and duplicate semantics across the seam. Explain what the evidence proves.
