Drupal 11 core port to TypeScript + Rust/WASM

[ruvnet]

Ports Drupal 11 core to TypeScript with Rust→WASM for complex/perf-critical algorithms. Built TDD-first (London school) by a multi-agent swarm.

Stats

• 90 TypeScript packages (@drupaljs/*) · 9 Rust/WASM crates (drupaljs-*)
• 2,499 TS tests (Vitest, 330 files) + 268 Rust tests (cargo test --workspace) — all green
• 43/43 core modules ported

What's included

• Kernel: DI container, event dispatcher, hook/module system, plugin API, config, cache (+tags/contexts), routing, render, http-kernel, theme, entity, database, typed-data, util, form, access, session, logger, queue/cron/lock/state, language/translation, …
• Field layer: field API + text/options/link/datetime field types, path-alias, filter, editor, locale, content-translation.
• Modules (module-*): system, user, node, taxonomy, comment, block, menu, file, image, media, views, jsonapi, rest, layout_builder, migrate, content_moderation, workspaces, … (full list in port/README.md).
• Rust/WASM crates: graph (topo-sort/SCC), diff (Myers), xss-html (filter automaton), cache-checksum, crypt, password-hash (phpass), route-matcher, transliteration, uuid.

Architecture & process

• ADR-0014…0018 (docs/adr/): monorepo, Rust/WASM, TDD-London, one-directory-per-agent swarm ownership, kernel-first phasing. Supersedes ADR-0007 (Strapi), resolves ADR-0013.
• Full Drupal 11 source mapped into a semantic vector DB (drupal-rvf/, 16,151 files / 1.78M LOC) to ground the port.
• CI: .github/workflows/port-ci.yml (tsc + vitest + cargo + wasm-pack).

Scope honesty

A faithful, test-backed port of Drupal core's architecture and subsystem contracts — not a drop-in replacement for a production Drupal site. Several subsystems (notably views, migrate, entity/field) are minimal-but-correct vertical slices with documented TODOs. The legacy rc1 admin-UI clone is retained at the repo root.
