Polyrepo boundaries

Each sibling under the workspace root is an independent Git repository with its own history, release, CI, and governance. Never include changes from two repositories in one commit or assume pushing Xberg publishes a sibling dependency.

Ownership

• xberg: reusable Rust document-intelligence primitives, public Rust API, CLI/server surfaces, bindings, and Xberg CI/release packaging.
• xberg-enterprise: product and deployment behavior that consumes Xberg. Check it before removing or reshaping Rust primitives, even when the symbol is not exposed in language bindings.
• alef: binding, documentation, snippet, and e2e generation defects. Work around a generator defect in Xberg only when necessary; report and fix the reusable cause in Alef.
• liter-llm: reusable LLM client behavior, provider request construction, endpoint validation, and network-security controls owned by that client.
• crawlberg: crawling, URL retrieval, and crawler-specific network policy. Put SSRF protection at the component that performs the outbound request; callers may add stricter policy but cannot replace the transport boundary.
• sceptre: reusable Sceptre OCR models/runtime. Xberg owns its adapter, configuration, and integration behavior.

API placement

Keep reusable primitives in the Rust crate when enterprise or Rust callers need them. Bindings should expose a primitive only when it forms a coherent supported language API; Rust-only public functionality does not need an FFI wrapper. Compatibility and deprecation policy applies to public APIs, not private internals.

For a cross-repo fix, identify the lowest owning layer, coordinate the dependency/release order, and verify each repository independently. Commit and publish the dependency before updating a consumer to a version that contains the fix.
