Architecture

PowerIO treats case IO as a compiler pipeline: source formats parse into typed models, passes derive normalized or lowered views, and writers emit target artifacts.

• Compiler IR: the IR layers, the BalancedNetwork and MulticonductorNetwork model families, and the NetworkPackage (.pio.json) envelope — explicit model kind, provenance, source maps, structured diagnostics, validation, operating points, and lowering.
• PIO JSON schema: the .pio.json field reference and the stability policy. The envelope and the IR payload are versioned independently (schema_version vs payload_schema_version); the payload shape follows the Rust models.

The package is implemented in the powerio-pkg crate. GOC3 package construction uses operating_points to preserve the source time series while keeping the payload itself static.
