ahmido dedca3c612 spec: add inventory specs 039-044 (#42)
What’s included
	•	specs/039-inventory-program/ — program/epic overview (vision + phased plan)
	•	specs/041-inventory-ui/ — UI skeleton (Inventory list, Coverage, Sync Runs)
	•	specs/042-inventory-dependencies-graph/ — dependency graph skeleton (assignments/filters/scope tags → later)
	•	specs/043-cross-tenant-compare-and-promotion/ — compare/promotion skeleton (read-only first; writes gated later)
	•	specs/044-drift-mvp/ — drift detection skeleton (read-only by default)

Why

We need a clear, spec-first structure for:
	•	separating Inventory (“last observed”) from Snapshots/Backups (immutable)
	•	scaling to MSP / multi-tenant workflows (portfolio, compare, monitoring)
	•	making future modules (security suite, drift, promotion) consistent with the Constitution (fail-safe, auditability, contract-driven Graph)

Scope / Non-goals (this PR)
	•	No implementation tasks executed
	•	No DB migrations, services, jobs, or UI changes
	•	No changes to Graph contracts or supported policy types

Review focus
	•	Naming/numbering and folder structure (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md for each spec)
	•	Scope boundaries and non-goals across 041–044
	•	Alignment with Constitution principles (tenant isolation, read-only default for analysis, explicit gating for high-risk writes)

Follow-up (next PRs)
	•	Spec 040: Inventory Core (data model + selection hash + missing semantics + NFRs + tests)
	•	Implementation PRs will be split per spec (040 → 041 → 042/043/044)

# Feature Specification: Inventory Dependencies Graph
**Feature Branch**: `feat/042-inventory-dependencies-graph`
**Created**: 2026-01-07
**Status**: Draft
## Purpose
Represent and surface dependency relationships between inventory items and foundational Intune objects so admins can understand blast radius and prerequisites.
## User Scenarios & Testing
### Scenario 1: View dependencies for an item
- Given an inventory item
- When the user opens its dependencies view
- Then they can see inbound and outbound relationships (e.g., “uses”, “assigned to”, “scoped by”)
### Scenario 2: Identify missing prerequisites
- Given an item references a prerequisite object not present in inventory
- When the user views dependencies
- Then missing prerequisites are clearly indicated
### Scenario 3: Filter dependencies by relationship type
- Given multiple relationship types exist
- When the user filters by relationship type
- Then only matching edges are shown
## Functional Requirements
- FR1: Define a normalized set of relationship types.
- FR2: Store dependency edges between inventory items and other objects (including non-inventory foundations when applicable).
- FR3: Allow querying inbound/outbound edges for a given item.
- FR4: Show missing prerequisites without requiring a separate “deleted” state in core inventory.
- FR5: All dependency data is tenant-scoped and access-controlled.
## Non-Functional Requirements
- NFR1: Dependency extraction must be idempotent (re-runnable without duplicating edges).
- NFR2: Dependency extraction must not fail an inventory sync run if an unknown/unsupported reference is encountered; it should record a safe warning.
## Success Criteria
- SC1: Admins can determine prerequisites and blast radius for an item in under 2 minutes.
- SC2: For supported relationship types, dependency edges are consistent across re-runs (deterministic output).
## Out of Scope
- Automatic remediation.
- Cross-tenant dependency graphs.
