# DTS.Common.CPU

1. **Purpose**  
This file defines the `ICPUEngine` interface, which serves as the foundational contract for CPU engine implementations within the DTS.CommonCore module. As it extends `IBaseClass`, it inherits base functionality (presumably common to all core components), but the interface itself currently carries no additional members—its purpose is likely to act as a marker or placeholder interface for future extensibility, or to establish a consistent type hierarchy for CPU-related engine components in the system.

2. **Public Interface**  
No public methods, properties, or events are declared directly on `ICPUEngine`. As an interface inheriting from `IBaseClass`, its public surface is limited to whatever members `IBaseClass` defines (not shown in this source file). Therefore, the only public type is:

- **`interface ICPUEngine : IBaseClass`**  
  A marker/contract interface for CPU engine implementations. No behavior is specified in this file.

3. **Invariants**  
- `ICPUEngine` must be implemented by any class intended to represent a CPU engine in the system.
- Any implementation must also satisfy the contract of `IBaseClass` (though its members are not visible here).
- No additional runtime or structural invariants are expressible from this source alone.

4. **Dependencies**  
- **Depends on**:  
  - `DTS.Common.Base` namespace (specifically, `IBaseClass`).
- **Depended on by**:  
  - Not determinable from this file alone. Likely consumed by higher-level CPU management or orchestration components (e.g., engine factories, scheduler modules), but concrete consumers are not visible here.

5. **Gotchas**  
- The interface is currently empty beyond inheritance—this may indicate incomplete development, intentional extensibility, or reliance on convention/attributes for behavior.  
- Developers may mistakenly assume `ICPUEngine` provides CPU-specific functionality; in reality, it conveys only type identity at this stage.  
- Behavior expectations (e.g., lifecycle, threading model, initialization requirements) are undefined in this file and must be inferred from `IBaseClass` or implementation classes.  
- None identified from source alone.
