Fluid Forge Docs Baseline: CLI 0.8.0

Release Date: April 24, 2026 Status: Current stable docs baseline (supersedes 0.7.11)

What changed in the docs

  • Pinned docs consistency checks to the stable PyPI package data-product-forge==0.8.0.
  • Updated install guidance so normal users install from PyPI, while TestPyPI is documented only for release validation and intentional next-release candidates.
  • Promoted the 11-stage production pipeline docs as the current CLI baseline.
  • Documented Jenkins generation defaults for verify strictness, publish stage behavior, and publish --env handling.
  • Documented Data Mesh Manager publishing behavior that uses Entropy Access lineage for Bronze-to-Silver product dependencies instead of duplicating SourceSystems.

Notable CLI context

CLI 0.8.0 is the first stable release of the 0.8 line. It promotes the production pipeline and catalog-publish work that the docs were already tracking from the release-candidate cycle:

  • 11-stage CI pipeline — fluid generate ci emits Jenkins and other CI templates for bundle, validate, generate-artifacts, validate-artifacts, diff, plan, apply, policy-apply, verify, publish, and schedule-sync.
  • Supply-chain controls — bundle digests, plan binding, signed bundle verification, and SLSA-style attestation docs are part of the promoted surface.
  • Apply safety matrix — fluid apply --mode covers dry-run, create-only, amend, amend-and-build, replace, and replace-and-build with explicit data-loss gating.
  • Catalog publishing — fluid publish --target ... is the promoted catalog surface. Data Mesh Manager / Entropy publishing validates ODPS payload shape and emits Access lineage for product-to-product dependencies.
  • Jenkins lab ergonomics — generated Jenkinsfiles can carry first-class defaults for strict verify, publish stage enablement, and publish --env behavior without post-generation text patching.

Installing

Stable PyPI:

pip install --upgrade data-product-forge

# Exact docs baseline:
pip install "data-product-forge==0.8.0"
fluid version
# -> 0.8.0

TestPyPI is still useful for validating released artifacts and for the next alpha / beta / release-candidate line, but it is not the normal 0.8.0 install path:

pip install --pre \
  --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \
  --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ \
  data-product-forge
