🏗️ SciRS2 POLICY Framework

SciRS2 Core v0.1.0 provides the SciRS2 Ecosystem Policy that establishes architectural consistency:

🎯 Core Principles

• Layered Architecture: Only scirs2-core uses external dependencies directly
• Unified Abstractions: All other crates use scirs2-core re-exports
• Ecosystem Consistency: Consistent APIs, version control, and type safety

✅ Benefits for Developers

• Consistent APIs: Same interface patterns across all SciRS2 modules
• Version Control: Centralized dependency management
• Type Safety: Unified type system prevents incompatible types
• Performance: Core optimizes all external library usage

📋 Policy Implementation

// ❌ PROHIBITED in non-core crates
use rand::*;
use ndarray::Array2;
use num_complex::Complex;

// ✅ REQUIRED in non-core crates
use scirs2_core::random::*;    // Instead of rand::*
use scirs2_core::array::*;     // Instead of ndarray::*
use scirs2_core::complex::*;   // Instead of num_complex::*

See SCIRS2_POLICY.md for complete details.
