# Module Contract Internals
`internal/module` defines the stable envelope between report composition,
module builders, in-memory snapshots, templates, and prompt packages. It
does not define a report, execute a builder, or choose prompt-export policy;
those responsibilities belong to [report registry](report-registry.md) and
[briefing](briefing.md).
## Outputs and snapshots
Each `Output` has a module ID, stanza name, rich `Value`, and runtime-only
`PromptValue`. `DataPackageValue` returns the prompt value when present and
otherwise the rich value. This permits custom prompt exports without shrinking
the template value.
`NewSnapshot` builds the ordered `weatherreporter.modules.v1` snapshot and
validates it. Its JSON representation contains IDs, stanza names, and rich values only;
`PromptValue` is deliberately excluded. `StanzaValue` decodes a named rich
stanza into a caller-supplied type, reporting a missing stanza separately from
a decoding error.
Snapshots reject missing schema versions, empty IDs or stanza names, and
duplicate IDs or stanza names. Output order is caller-owned and preserved.
## Registered IDs and default composition
The registered IDs are `metadata`, `current_conditions`,
`narrative_forecast`, `hourly_forecast`, `derived_daily_summary`,
`derived_daypart_summaries`, `precip_timing`, `alert_digest`,
`spc_convective_outlooks`, `area_forecast_discussion`,
`spc_convective_discussion`, `weather_story`, `outdoor_windows`,
`today_planning`, `tomorrow_planning`, and `daily_planning`.
The registry declares these ordered default compositions:
| Report | Ordered modules |
| --- | --- |
| Daily | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD (long term), SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, daily planning, hourly forecast |
| Today | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD, SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, hourly forecast, today planning |
| Tomorrow | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD, SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, tomorrow planning, hourly forecast |
| Hourly | metadata, current conditions, hourly forecast, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD (key messages and short term), SPC discussion, weather story |
The only non-empty default option is the AFD section selection. It accepts a
`sections` list; omitted or empty selects all available sections. Report
definitions may narrow it as shown above. Option shape and report compatibility
are validated by the briefing registry. Accepted typed option pointers are
canonicalized to the declared value type before a module builder receives them.
## Rich and prompt-facing values
Rich values remain available to module snapshots and render contexts.
Briefing attaches custom prompt exports only for current conditions, hourly
forecast, and derived daypart summaries; all other current builders use
pass-through values. The prompt package owns how exported stanzas are grouped
and serialized; see [prompt input](prompt-input.md).
## Verification and invariants
Focused tests cover snapshot validation and order, typed stanza lookup, and
prompt-value fallback:
```sh
go test ./internal/module
```
Module IDs and stanza names are stable, every emitted output has one of each,
and this package never imports the report registry.
