Entanglement

kernel Bound into the core by 2 mechanism(s).

Detaches when it is itself a binding point: unpinning it releases its consumers; and when its WCF surface gains a modern interface or its WCF calls move to one.

Migration playbooks

Generated from this repo's assessment data: what is feasible, what blocks it, and the steps in order. Ratings: green means actionable now, amber means sequence other work first, red means blocked, grey means not applicable.

ZDD adoption

Not applicable

Not a deployed service (libraries, database definitions, desktop apps) or a retirement candidate not worth the investment. Ships as a package; ZDD applies to the services that consume it.

SQL Server exit

Not applicable

No SQL Server dependency is recorded for this repo. Nothing to migrate.

Containerisation

Not applicable

Libraries ship as packages, not as running services. There is nothing to containerise.

Recommended actions

Re-publish phenix-passenger-configuration-service-contract with modern targets

Frozen at .NET Framework 4.5.2; consumers cannot leave the old platform while pinned to it.

Impact: Highest leverage in the programme: releases consumers without touching them

Assessment notes

phenix-passenger-configuration-service-contract

Purpose

The contract half of the passenger configuration WCF service. It contains exactly one file: IPassengerConfigurationServiceContract, a [ServiceContract] interface with two operations — IsFullPaymentRequired(companyId) and IsPhenixBookingEmergencyContactRequired(companyId). Published as a NuGet package (GeneratePackageOnBuild, version 1.0.0 via version.props) so consumers and the host (phenix-passenger-configuration-service-host) can share the interface.

Tech stack

C# class library targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2 with a System.ServiceModel reference — pure WCF contract, no other dependencies. SDK-style csproj with Directory.Build.props/NuGet.config pointing at the internal feed.

Deployment

Included with 2 releases. Classic build pipelines phenix-passenger-configuration-service-contract develop and release with matching release pipelines of the same names — no YAML in the repo, so the pipeline publishes the NuGet package via designer builds.

Dependencies

None, internal or external — the only reference is the framework System.ServiceModel assembly.

Data stores

None; it is a contract-only package.

Integration points

Defines a WCF contract consumed over WCF by the host service and its clients; the library itself makes no calls.

Code health

No tests (nothing meaningful to test in a two-method interface), no README. Dormant since 2018-11-28 — the contract has been frozen for over seven years while still flowing through active release pipelines.

Modernisation risks

The package pins every consumer of passenger configuration to WCF and .NET Framework 4.6.2. It cannot be consumed from modern .NET without CoreWCF or a rewrite; the natural move is to fold these two boolean lookups into a REST endpoint (e.g. on a modern passenger or company-configuration API) and retire both this contract and its host. Medium priority: trivial code, but it is a load-bearing WCF edge.
