## Method
The clarify stage identifies ambiguities in the v1.26 specification
(PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md) and resolves them at full
autonomy. Each ambiguity gets a decision ID (D-200+; continuing from
the v1.26 SPECIFY decisions D-200..D-205), a resolution, a confidence
score, and a rationale. Resolutions update PROJECT.md + REQUIREMENTS.md
+ ROADMAP.md as needed.
The clarify stage identifies ambiguities in the v1.27 specification
and resolves them at full autonomy. The v1.27 spec is the user-approved
plan from the prior conversation + the STATE.md design locked by 4
question answers. Each ambiguity gets a decision ID (D-214+; continuing
from the v1.26 decisions D-200..D-213), a resolution, a confidence
score, and a rationale.
---
## Ambiguities + Resolutions
## Prior-conversation resolutions (already locked, restated for the record)
### Q1 — Does the consumer repo's `.ciagent/` live in the platform repo or the consumer repo?
These were resolved by user-answered questions in the conversation that
spawned v1.27. They are load-bearing for v1.27 execution and cited
here so the v1.27 record is self-contained.
**Ambiguity:** The user said "ciagent should track it as a separate
project under this same path." Does "this same path" mean the platform
repo's `.ciagent/` directory (multi-project mode per `run.md` Step 0),
or a separate `.ciagent/` inside the consumer repo?
### Q-P1 — What should the new PO-reference file catalog?
**Resolution:** The platform repo's `.ciagent/` directory. Multi-project
mode: `.ciagent/config.json` `projects[]` includes both `acdl` +
`nova-blockchain-exchange`; the consumer's project files
(PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md) live in
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/`. The consumer *git repo* owns the
app code + `contract.yaml` + deploy workflow invocation; the platform
repo owns the CIAgent planning artifacts for both projects. This
matches `run.md` Step 0 multi-project mode.
**Resolution:** Capability catalog (what the system can do today).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-214.
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Decision:** D-206.
### Q-P2 — How should the new file relate to CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md?
### Q2 — Is the bootstrap `NOVA_AWS_*` key the root key or the spike-runner key?
**Resolution:** Call it `STATE.md`. PO-owned, ciagent-updated after
milestone implementation. CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md is archived.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-215.
**Ambiguity:** The bootstrap scripts (post-migration) prefer
`NOVA_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*`, falling back to `NOVA_AWS_*`. The pre-run
(A3) succeeded with `NOVA_AWS_*`, creating the S3 bucket + DynamoDB
table — which requires root or root-equivalent IAM. Is `NOVA_AWS_*`
the root key, or did the bootstrap succeed because the spike-runner
policy happens to include S3/DynamoDB create?
### Q-P3 — Where should the file live, and who owns it?
**Resolution:** `NOVA_AWS_*` has root-equivalent permissions (confirmed
empirically: the bootstrap created the S3 bucket + DynamoDB table
successfully). For the pilot, `NOVA_AWS_*` is the bootstrap key. A
future hardening milestone should split this into a dedicated
`NOVA_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*` root key + a least-privilege `NOVA_AWS_*` runner
key (the spike-runner pattern). For v1.26, the single key suffices
(pilot scope).
**Resolution:** Owned by the PO, updated by ciagent after the milestone
is implemented with additives.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-216.
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Decision:** D-207.
### Q-P4 — How should "additive when new features are implemented" be enforced?
### Q3 — Which AWS account does the pilot use: `581513795199` (existing) or a dedicated pilot account?
**Resolution:** On the last phase / milestone ship (the P-final Wave 3
"milestone ship" step). No regression-gate check in this pass.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-217.
**Ambiguity:** The user said "assume 581513795199." But the env JSONs
all show `account_id: "000000000000"` (placeholder). Does the pilot
bind all env JSONs to `581513795199`, or only `dev` (with qa/prod/dr
left placeholder until a real multi-account landing zone exists)?
### Q-P5 — Should the initial STATE.md backfill all shipped capabilities through v1.26?
**Resolution:** Bind `dev` to `581513795199` for the pilot
(D-203, established in SPECIFY). The `qa`/`prod`/`dr` env JSONs remain
placeholder `000000000000` this milestone — the pilot runs in `dev`
(autonomous, no HITL gate). Multi-account landing zone (qa/prod/dr on
separate accounts) is a future milestone. REQ-319 (env-JSON wiring)
updates `dev.json`'s `state_backend.bucket` to
`nova-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1` + `account_id` to `581513795199`;
qa/prod/dr get the `state_backend.bucket` update but keep placeholder
`account_id` (the pilot-readiness policy REQ-320 blocks apply on
placeholder accounts — so qa/prod/dr apply is blocked by design until
the accounts are bound).
**Resolution:** Backfill all shipped capabilities through v1.26
(compressed one-liners for v1.1v1.24; full entries for v1.25 + v1.26).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-218.
**Confidence:** 0.92. **Decision:** D-208.
### Q-P6 — Should the v1.26 pre-execution artifacts (CLARIFY, GRILL, IDEATE, RESEARCH) be archived?
### Q4 — Does "all types of securities" mean all types in v1.26, or equities-only pilot with others deferred?
**Resolution:** Archive all 4 to `.ciagent/archive/` with `-v1.26`
suffixes. The next milestone's P0 writes fresh versions. Decisions are
already folded into PROJECT.md load-bearing decisions + PLAN.md
binding revisions.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed). **Decision:** D-219.
**Ambiguity:** The user said "stock market built on homegrown blockchain
offering all types of securities." This could mean equities + bonds +
derivatives + options all in v1.26, or equities-only pilot with others
deferred (the recommended scope from the plan).
---
**Resolution:** Equities-only pilot (D-200, established in SPECIFY).
Bonds/derivatives/options have very different settlement models (T+1
for equities; T+2 for bonds; derivatives vary; options exercise
models). A pilot should demonstrate the Nova platform's policy gates
over a real estate — equities (T+1) is the simplest. "All types of
securities" is the *product vision*; v1.26 is the *pilot* (equities
first). The roadmap documents the deferral.
## Ambiguities + Resolutions (this CLARIFY pass)
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Decision:** D-200 (reaffirmed).
### Q1 — Is v1.27 a feature milestone or an NFR milestone?
### Q5 — Is the homegrown blockchain a real consensus protocol or a minimal PoA ledger?
**Ambiguity:** v1.27 authors `STATE.md` (a new file/capability for the
PO) and archives 11 files. Does the new-file authoring count as `feat:`
(making this a feature milestone, tags on v1.26.x with progressive
patches) or `docs:`/`chore:` (NFR milestone, same tag behavior but
subject to the NFR purity gate)?
**Ambiguity:** "Homegrown blockchain" could mean a full consensus
protocol (multi-validator BFT) or a minimal PoA ledger (single
validator, append-only).
**Resolution:** NFR milestone. `STATE.md` is documentation (a catalog of
existing capabilities), not a new platform capability. The archive moves
are `chore:` (file relocation, lossless). No code, no schema, no
platform behavior change. Tags run on the v1.26.x patch line:
`v1.26.0` (P0) → `v1.26.1..v1.26.3` (P1..P3). The final phase's patch
(`v1.26.3`) IS the milestone release.
**Resolution:** Minimal PoA ledger (D-201, established in SPECIFY).
Single validator (config-driven), append-only blocks, SHA-256 hash
chain, deterministic block production. Settlement finality = block
commit. Multi-validator BFT is a future milestone. The pilot's purpose
is to exercise the Nova platform's deploy/policy/attestation gates over
a real consumer — the chain needs to be real enough to record
transactions, not to solve Byzantine consensus.
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Decision:** D-220.
**Confidence:** 0.88. **Decision:** D-201 (reaffirmed).
### Q2 — Where does the consumer-side archive (nova-blockchain-exchange/ROADMAP.md) land?
### Q6 — Does the pilot's `terraform apply` actually run, or is it `--plan-only`?
**Ambiguity:** The platform archive convention is
`.ciagent/archive/<file>-<milestone>.md`. The consumer subproject
(`nova-blockchain-exchange/`) has no `archive/` subdirectory. Does the
consumer ROADMAP archive at `.ciagent/archive/` (platform-side, mixed)
or `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/` (consumer-side, new
subdir)?
**Ambiguity:** The platform's `run_platform.sh` defaults to
plan-only (no apply). The `deploy.yml` workflow's `mode` input can be
`full` (apply) or `plan-only`. Does the pilot actually `terraform apply`
(creating real AWS resources for the blockchain exchange), or does it
stop at plan?
**Resolution:** Consumer-side. Create
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/` and relocate to
`ROADMAP-v1.26.md`. This preserves the per-project path convention
(multi-project mode: `.ciagent/<slug>/` paths). The platform archive
directory is not mixed with consumer archives.
**Resolution:** The pilot runs `mode: full` (apply) for `dev` only.
The apply creates real AWS resources (ECS for the matching engine,
DynamoDB for the ledger, S3 for block storage) in account
`581513795199`. `qa`/`prod`/`dr` are blocked by the pilot-readiness
policy (REQ-320) until their accounts are bound (D-208). The apply is
autonomous for `dev` (no HITL gate; confidence threshold 0.50). The
`ai.decision.made` + `attestation.recorded` events land in the Decision
Ledger — but `dev` attestation is autonomous (no human approver), so
only `ai.decision.made` fires for `dev`.
**Confidence:** 0.92. **Decision:** D-221.
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Decision:** D-209.
### Q3 — Does archiving CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH lose the "how v1.26 was specified" traceability?
### Q7 — What AWS resources does the blockchain exchange contract declare?
**Ambiguity:** The pre-execution artifacts document the v1.26 decision
path. Archiving them moves them out of active context. Is the
traceability preserved?
**Ambiguity:** The `contract.yaml` declares the exchange's
infrastructure. What specific AWS resources? The platform's adapter
maps contract infrastructure blocks to Terraform. What stack types
does the blockchain exchange use?
**Resolution:** Yes. Three layers preserve it: (1) the archive files
are byte-identical relocations inside `.ciagent/archive/` (reachable by
agents + git history); (2) the decisions D-200..D-213 are folded into
`PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions (the durable record); (3) git
history at the v1.26 commits preserves the authoritative state. The
active-context reduction is the point — v1.26 is shipped; the next P0
writes fresh CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH.
**Resolution:** The pilot contract declares 3 infrastructure blocks:
(1) `ecs` (Fargate service for the matching engine + settlement
service — the platform's existing `microservice` module pattern), (2)
`dynamodb` (the ledger table — single-table, PK `block_index`), (3)
`s3` (block storage — one object per block, key `blocks/{index}.json`).
The adapter's `TYPE_MAP` already covers `aws_ecs_service`,
`aws_dynamodb_table`, `aws_s3_bucket` (existing L1 primitives). No new
adapter stack types needed for the pilot. The contract's
`infrastructure` block references these by module name (`microservice`
for ECS, `dynamodb` for the table, `s3` for the bucket).
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Decision:** D-222.
**Confidence:** 0.82. **Decision:** D-210.
### Q4 — Should IAM_POLICY.md be archived (it predates v1.26 and is dated v1.11)?
### Q8 — Does the outcome-backfill emitter (REQ-317) change the PCR schema?
**Ambiguity:** `IAM_POLICY.md` is dated v1.11 (2026-07-28). It predates
v1.26 by 5 milestones. The D-207 future key-split (P1+ R-3 in
REVIEW-AUDIT-P05) is pending. Archive or keep?
**Ambiguity:** REQ-317 wires `apply.completed`/`apply.failed`
`fact_decision.outcome`. Does this touch the `PolicyCheckResult` schema
(PCR) — the v1.25 moat that must not change?
**Resolution:** Keep active. `IAM_POLICY.md` is a live baseline —
referenced by the regression gate
(`tests/test_iam_policy_baseline.py`), enforced by a managed policy on
account `581513795199`, and the D-207 key-split is a pending future-
hardening item. It is not stale; it is a baseline that grows when
grants change. The v1.11 date reflects the last grant addition, not
staleness.
**Resolution:** No. The outcome backfill touches the *metrics cold
store* (`fact_decision` table in `metrics/nova_metrics.db`), not the
PCR schema. The PCR schema (`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`)
is unchanged. The backfill reads run-manifest events (not PCRs) and
updates the decision's outcome column. This respects the v1.25 hard
constraint: "DO NOT change `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`."
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Decision:** D-223.
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Decision:** D-211.
### Q5 — Should REGRESSION_REPORT.{json,md} be refreshed as part of v1.27?
### Q9 — Does the consumer repo need its own test suite + CI, or does the platform's CI cover it?
**Ambiguity:** Both files are dated 2026-08-01 (v1.10 Phase 52), show
CAP-025 absent, and mark live-aws CAPs "Skipped" (state bucket absent
pre-v1.26 re-bootstrap). They are stale. Should v1.27 refresh them?
**Ambiguity:** The consumer repo (`nova-blockchain-exchange`) has app
code (blockchain, engine, settlement). Does it run its own tests in
its own CI, or does the platform's `platform-test.yml` cover it?
**Resolution:** No. Both files are machine-managed — written by
`core/regression_verify.py:704-705` on every `run_regression.sh` run.
They regenerate on the next regression run. v1.27 is docs/chore only
(no code); touching machine-managed files by hand creates a drift
source. The stale state is honest (the last gate run was v1.10; the
next run regenerates). The STATE.md Domain 7 row "Regression gate"
notes the current CAP range (CAP-001..025).
**Resolution:** The consumer repo runs its own tests in its own CI
(`nova-blockchain-exchange/.github/workflows/ci.yml` — lint + pytest on
the blockchain/engine/settlement code). The platform's
`platform-test.yml` covers the *platform* repo only (it validates
contracts against the schema, runs adapter tests, etc.). The consumer
repo's `deploy.yml` invocation triggers the platform's deploy workflow
(which runs `run_platform.sh`); the platform's policy + attestation
gates apply over the consumer's apply. The consumer's unit tests
(chain integrity, order matching, settlement) are the consumer's
responsibility. REQ-310..312 include consumer-side tests
(`test_block.py`, `test_order_book.py`, `test_settlement.py`).
**Confidence:** 0.88. **Decision:** D-224.
**Confidence:** 0.88. **Decision:** D-212.
### Q6 — Does PROJECT.md get the v1.26 phase-status fix in v1.27 P1 or P2?
### Q10 — Is the milestone a feature milestone (tags on v1.25.x) or a major milestone (breaking schema changes)?
**Ambiguity:** The plan splits work into P1 (author + archive) and P2
(fix stale + wire). The PROJECT.md phase-status fix (P3/P4/P5 pending
→ complete) is a "fix stale" item. P1 or P2?
**Ambiguity:** v1.26 introduces a 2nd project (multi-project mode) +
new requirements. Does this break any schema (→ major milestone, tags
on v1.26.x), or is it a feature milestone (tags on v1.25.x)?
**Resolution:** P2. P1 is the additive authoring + lossless archive
moves. P2 is the corrections to kept files + the ship-discipline wiring.
This keeps P1 a pure-additive, no-edit phase (easier review + audit) and
P2 the correction phase. The PROJECT.md fix is a correction; P2.
**Resolution:** Feature milestone. No schema breaks: the PCR schema is
unchanged (D-211); the contract schema is unchanged (the consumer
contract validates against the existing
`schemas/contract.schema.json`); the env JSON gains a real
`account_id` (data, not schema). Multi-project mode is a config
change (not a schema break). Tags run on the **v1.25.x** patch line:
`v1.25.0` (P0) → `v1.25.5` (P5 = milestone release). Per `run.md`
versioning logic: "Feature milestone (at least one feat phase):
progressive patches per phase. The final phase's patch IS the milestone
release. No separate minor tag."
**Confidence:** 0.92. **Decision:** D-213.
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Decision:** D-225.

## Summary
10 ambiguities identified; all auto-resolved at full autonomy
(confidence ≥ 0.60). 8 new decisions (D-206..D-213) + 3 reaffirmed
from SPECIFY (D-200, D-201, D-203). 0 escalations (all ≥ 0.60). The
resolutions are recorded in this file + reflected in PROJECT.md /
REQUIREMENTS.md / ROADMAP.md updates.
6 prior-conversation resolutions (D-214..D-219, all user-confirmed)
+ 6 new ambiguities (D-220..D-225, all auto-resolved at full autonomy,
confidence ≥ 0.60). 0 escalations.
**Key decisions:**
- D-206: `.ciagent/` for both projects in the platform repo (multi-project mode).
- D-207: `NOVA_AWS_*` has root-equivalent perms; single key for pilot.
- D-208: `dev` bound to `581513795199`; qa/prod/dr stay placeholder (pilot-readiness policy blocks apply on placeholder).
- D-209: Pilot runs `mode: full` (apply) for `dev` only; autonomous (no HITL gate).
- D-210: Contract declares ecs + dynamodb + s3 (existing adapter stack types; no new TYPE_MAP entries).
- D-211: Outcome backfill touches metrics cold store, NOT the PCR schema (v1.25 moat preserved).
- D-212: Consumer repo has its own CI + unit tests; platform CI covers platform only.
- D-213: Feature milestone; tags on v1.25.x (no schema breaks).
- D-220: v1.27 is an NFR milestone (tags on v1.26.x; final patch is the
milestone release).
- D-221: Consumer archives land in `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/`.
- D-222: Archiving pre-execution artifacts preserves traceability
(archive files + PROJECT.md load-bearing decisions + git history).
- D-223: IAM_POLICY.md stays active (live baseline, test-enforced,
D-207 pending).
- D-224: REGRESSION_REPORT.{json,md} regenerate on next
`run_regression.sh` (machine-managed; v1.27 is docs/chore only).
- D-225: PROJECT.md phase-status fix is P2 (correction phase), not P1
(additive phase).

## Challenges
### G-Q1 — Is a homegrown PoA blockchain viable for a pilot, or is it reckless?
### G-Q1 — Is archiving AUTONOMY_THESIS.md + COST.md a context loss?
**Challenge:** Authoring a blockchain (even a minimal PoA ledger) is a
non-trivial domain. A homegrown chain could have correctness bugs (hash
chain breaks, non-deterministic blocks, settlement-finality race
conditions). Why not use a proven chain (Ethereum L2, Solana, Hyperledger
Fabric)?
**Challenge:** `AUTONOMY_THESIS.md` is the "autonomy in operations;
human at stage gates" thesis — the defensibility brief. `COST.md` is
the only AWS cost record. Archiving both moves them out of active
context. Does this lose load-bearing content?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.88). The pilot's purpose is to
exercise the Nova platform's deploy/policy/attestation gates over a
real consumer estate — not to build a production blockchain. A
homegrown PoA ledger is the minimal viable chain: append-only blocks,
single validator, SHA-256 hash chain, deterministic block production.
This is ~200 lines of Python (block + ledger + validator). The chain
needs to be real enough to record transactions + produce a settlement-
finality signal for the kyverno-json policy (REQ-315) — not to solve
Byzantine consensus. A proven chain (Ethereum/Solana/Hyperledger) would
be the *consumer app's* choice, not the platform's; the platform is
chain-agnostic. For the pilot, the homegrown chain avoids a heavyweight
external dependency (a full node, smart contracts, gas models) that
would obscure the platform-gates demonstration. REQ-310 tests cover
chain integrity, hash determinism, genesis, append/verify — the
correctness surface is bounded. Multi-validator BFT is a future
milestone (D-201). No revision needed.
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.90).
- `AUTONOMY_THESIS.md` (65 lines, "Last refined: v1.21") is fully
folded into `NORTH_STAR.md` Vision (lines 1722: "infrastructure
operations become visible... human attestation remains required at
stage gates") + Anti-Goals #2 ("Not a system that removes humans from
accountability"). The thesis is the source; NORTH_STAR is the
authoritative durable copy. Archive preserves the v1.21 refinement;
active context reads NORTH_STAR.
- `COST.md` (106 lines, dated 2026-07-29, "v1.0 → v1.14") predates the
v1.26 live pilot. The v1.26 live apply (ECS + ALB + DynamoDB + S3)
incurred real costs this snapshot doesn't reflect. Archiving it is
honest — a stale cost record misleads. STATE.md Domain 7 notes cost
tracking as a capability (pre-apply Infracost grounded; actual-spend
CUR deferred D-096). A future cost milestone writes a fresh report.
No revision needed.
### G-Q2 — Does "all types of securities" scope-explode the milestone?
### G-Q2 — Does the archive list include the v1.27 P0 pre-execution files by mistake?
**Challenge:** The user said "offering all types of securities." Equities
(D-200, pilot scope) is one type. Bonds (T+2), derivatives (varying),
options (exercise models) have very different settlement models. Does
the equities-only deferral betray the user's intent?
**Challenge:** D-219 (user-confirmed) says "archive all 4 pre-execution
artifacts" (CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH). But P0 already overwrote
them with v1.27 content. Archiving the v1.27 versions at v1.27 P1 would
lose the v1.27 pre-execution narrative (the decisions D-214..D-225, the
research inventory, this grill). Is the archive list wrong?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.85). The user *chose* equities-only
pilot (Q4 in the plan discussion, answer "A to all 3 questions" — the
recommended scope). "All types of securities" is the *product vision*;
v1.26 is the *pilot* (equities first). The roadmap documents the
deferral. The pilot demonstrates the Nova platform's gates over the
simplest settlement model (T+1); expanding to other security types is
a straightforward extension (new settlement-service branches + new
kyverno-json policies) once the platform-gates pattern is proven. No
revision needed — the scope decision is the user's, not the grill's.
**Verdict:** REVISE (confidence 0.92). This is a real ambiguity in the
plan. The user's D-219 decision was made *before* P0 overwrote the
files; the intent was to archive the *v1.26* pre-execution record. The
v1.26-era content is preserved in git history (the pre-P0 commits) —
the archive directory is not the only preservation layer. PLAN Task 2.1
already self-corrected: the final archive list is **7 platform files +
1 consumer file = 8 files**, excluding the 4 pre-execution files. The 4
v1.27 P0 versions stay active through v1.27; they archive at v1.28 P1
if v1.28 happens. The archive README notes the v1.26 pre-execution
record is in git history. No further revision needed — the plan self-
corrected.
### G-Q3 — Does the consumer-repo-as-2nd-project break single-project tooling?
### G-Q3 — Is the STATE.md backfill accurate enough to be the PO's source of truth?
**Challenge:** CIAgent has been single-project since v1.0. v1.26
activates multi-project mode (2 projects: `acdl` +
`nova-blockchain-exchange`). Does this break assumptions in the
CIAgent tooling (branch naming, `.ciagent/` paths, commit `---ci---`
blocks)?
**Challenge:** STATE.md has 36 capability rows across 10 domains,
backfilled from 8 sources. The PO will read this before writing new
REQs. If a row is inaccurate (wrong shipped tag, wrong file path,
wrong controlling REQ), the PO could re-spec an existing capability or
cite a stale invariant. Is the backfill accurate?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.90). `run.md` Step 0 explicitly
specifies multi-project mode: `projects[]` with length > 0,
`active_projects` array, `.ciagent/<slug>/` subdirectory paths, branch
prefixes `<slug>/`. The `---ci---` block gains a `project: <slug>`
field (already in the v1.26 commits). The consumer's project files
live in `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/`. The platform's existing
flat `.ciagent/` files remain the primary set (the platform is the
default project). Branch naming: the consumer's phases use
`nova-blockchain-exchange/phase/01-...`; the platform's phases use
`acdl/phase/03-...` (or flat `phase/03-...` for platform-level work).
No tooling change needed — the multi-project spec is already in
`run.md`. D-206 records this. No revision needed.
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.85). The backfill sources are
authoritative: `core/regression_verify.py` (the machine CAP-NNN
registry), `modules/registry.json` (the live module catalog),
`REQUIREMENTS.md` traceability (the REQ→phase→status record),
`CHECKPOINT.json` (shipped tags), `git log` (file paths). The
citations are direct (each row cites the controlling REQ + decision
ID). The 11 invariants are distilled from PROJECT.md load-bearing
decisions D-034..D-072 + W1..BA + Q1.3. The accuracy risk is
mitigated by P1 Wave 1 (verify STATE.md against sources before
archive). No revision needed — the verification step is in the plan.
### G-Q4 — Does the P2 contract reference a `dynamodb` module that doesn't exist until P3?
### G-Q4 — Does the NFR purity gate (zero `feat:` commits) hold for v1.27?
**Challenge:** The original plan had REQ-322 (DynamoDB primitive) in
P3, but the P2 contract (REQ-313) references `dynamodb` in its
`infrastructure` block. If the primitive doesn't exist until P3, the
P2 contract's `dynamodb` block can't resolve at registry time — only
at schema time (the schema is open). Is this a vertical-slice
violation (P2 ships a contract that can't fully resolve)?
**Challenge:** v1.27 authors STATE.md (a new file). Is authoring a new
catalog file a `feat:` (feature) that breaks the NFR purity gate?
**Verdict:** REVISE (confidence 0.92). This is a real vertical-slice
violation. PLAN.md already revised: REQ-322 moves to P2 W0 (before the
contract). The revised mapping (PLAN.md "Revised: REQ-322 → P2 W0")
makes P2 self-contained: the primitive + the contract + the deploy
invocation all land in P2. This is a binding revision — the original
P3 placement is superseded. ROADMAP.md is already updated (REQ-322 in
P2). No further revision needed — the plan self-corrected.
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.92). D-220 (CLARIFY) resolved this:
STATE.md is documentation (a catalog of *existing* capabilities), not a
new platform capability. The archive moves are `chore:` (file
relocation, lossless). No code, no schema, no platform behavior
change. The NFR purity gate (zero `feat:` commits) holds. All v1.27
commits use `docs(P0N):` or `chore(P01):` prefixes. No revision
needed.
### G-Q5 — Does live-AWS pilot break the MTTR < 60s target?
### G-Q5 — Does fixing PROJECT.md phase-status in P2 create a P0/P1 audit inconsistency?
**Challenge:** NORTH_STAR.md MTTR target: < 60s p95. The pilot runs
`terraform apply` (creating real AWS resources: ECS + DynamoDB + S3).
Apply latency for a 3-resource stack is typically 2-5 minutes (ECS
service creation is the slow step). Does this break the MTTR target?
**Challenge:** The PROJECT.md phase-status block shows P3/P4/P5 as
"pending" (the bug flagged in the prior conversation). P0 + P1 ship
with the bug still present (the fix is P2). Does the P0/P1 audit see
the inconsistency?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.86). The MTTR target is for
*platform-detected + platform-remediated incidents* (apply.failed →
successful retry), not for first-time apply latency. The pilot's
first apply is a deployment, not an incident-remediation. The MTTR
metric measures the retry path: if the apply fails (e.g. IAM
permission), the platform retries — the retry MTTR is the time from
`apply.failed` to `apply.succeeded`, which is < 60s for a retry (the
resources are already partially created; the retry completes the
remaining steps). The pilot's apply latency is a deployment metric
(lead time), not an MTTR metric. RESEARCH §1.2 (v1.25 grill G-Q3)
analyzed this same question for the kyverno-json pass — the same
reasoning applies. No revision needed.
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.86). The bug is pre-existing
(it predates v1.27; it was the trigger for the prior conversation).
P0/P1 audits check the *v1.27* commits against the `.ciagent/` state,
not the pre-existing PROJECT.md drift. The P2 fix is the correction;
the P3 audit verifies the fix landed. The intermediate state (P0/P1
with the bug present) is honest — the bug is documented in the v1.27
PLAN + the prior conversation, and the fix is scheduled. No revision
needed — the phasing is intentional (D-225: P1 additive, P2
correction).
### G-Q6 — Is the settlement-finality policy (REQ-315) over-engineering for a pilot?
### G-Q6 — Is the milestone scoped too small (3 phases, 8 archive moves)?
**Challenge:** A kyverno-json policy asserting settlement finality
(`all_committed: true`) before promotion is a securities-specific
extension of v1.25's policy engine. Is this over-engineering for a
pilot that only runs in `dev` (autonomous, no promotion to qa/prod/dr
in v1.26 per D-208)?
**Challenge:** v1.27 is a small milestone (3 phases, ~15 file
operations, no code). Is it worth a milestone, or should it be a
patch on v1.26?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.80). The policy is *authored* in
v1.26 (P3) but its *enforcement* activates when a promotion to qa/prod
happens — which is a *future* milestone (D-208: qa/prod/dr stay
placeholder this milestone). The policy is tested (passing + failing
fixtures; skip when `kj` absent) in P3, but it doesn't gate a `dev`
apply (the pilot-readiness policy REQ-320 gates `dev`; the settlement-
finality policy gates promotions). Authoring + testing the policy in
v1.26 is the right thing: it (a) proves the kyverno-json engine can
assert a domain invariant, (b) ships the policy artifact so a future
milestone that binds qa/prod/dr can enable it without re-architecting,
(c) extends v1.25's moat (the policy engine is swappable + extensible
to new domains). The cost is ~1 policy file + 1 test file. No revision
needed — but the POLICY IS NOT ENFORCED in v1.26 (it's authored +
tested, enforcement is future). PLAN.md should note this. **Minor
revision: PLAN.md P3 W4 Task 4.1 should note "policy authored + tested;
enforcement deferred to the milestone that binds qa/prod/dr."** Already
implicit in the plan (the policy gates promotions, not dev applies);
making it explicit is a documentation refinement, not a scope change.
### G-Q7 — Is D-083 deferral defensible for a pilot with real money-like flows?
**Challenge:** The pilot is a stock exchange — securities trading. D-083
(S3 Object Lock / JWS tamper-evident ledger) is deferred (D-204). The
SQLite hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox is the audit record. Is this
defensible for a domain where audit integrity is legally mandated?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.82). The pilot is a *technical
demonstration*, not a production trading system. No real money, no real
securities, no real investors — the "securities" are test tokens on a
homegrown chain. The audit integrity requirement (SEC Rule 17a-4, FINRA
retention) applies to *production* trading systems, not to a pilot
exercising a platform's deploy/policy/attestation gates. The SQLite
hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox is a tamper-*evident* record (any tampering
breaks the hash chain) — it's just not tamper-*resistant* (S3 Object
Lock + JWS would make it tamper-resistant). For a pilot, tamper-evident
suffices. D-083 lift is a future milestone (when the pilot becomes a
production system). D-204 records this. No revision needed.
### G-Q8 — Does the outcome-backfill emitter (REQ-317) touch the PCR schema?
**Challenge:** REQ-317 wires `apply.completed`/`apply.failed`
`fact_decision.outcome`. The v1.25 hard constraint says "DO NOT change
`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`." Does the backfill touch the
PCR schema?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.95). D-211 (CLARIFY) already
resolved this: the outcome backfill touches the *metrics cold store*
(`fact_decision` table in `metrics/nova_metrics.db`), not the PCR
schema. The backfill reads run-manifest events (not PCRs) and updates
the decision's outcome column. The PCR schema is unchanged. This
respects the v1.25 hard constraint. No revision needed.
### G-Q9 — Does the `NOVA_AWS_*` root-equivalent key create a security risk?
**Challenge:** D-207 says `NOVA_AWS_*` has root-equivalent permissions
(confirmed empirically: the bootstrap created the S3 bucket + DynamoDB
table). Using a root key for the pilot's `terraform apply` is a
security risk — a key compromise gives full account access. Should the
pilot use a least-privilege key?
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.78). The risk is real but bounded:
(a) the pilot runs in a single account (`581513795199`) with no
production workloads (the v1.11 teardown left it empty; the pilot is
the only workload), (b) the key is in `.env.secrets` (gitignored, never
committed), (c) the deploy workflow uses OIDC by default (the static
key is the override, not the primary path). A future hardening
milestone should split `NOVA_AWS_*` into a root `NOVA_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*`
+ a least-privilege `NOVA_AWS_*` runner key (the spike-runner pattern).
For v1.26, the single key suffices (pilot scope). D-207 records this.
**Minor revision: PLAN.md should note the key-split as a future
hardening item.** Already implicit in D-207; making it explicit in the
plan is a documentation refinement.
**Verdict:** PROCEED (confidence 0.88). v1.27 is not a patch on v1.26
v1.26 is shipped (`v1.25.5`, merged to main, milestone complete).
The work is a new milestone by definition. The size is appropriate:
STATE.md is a durable PO-facing artifact (loaded every ci-run going
forward); the compression reduces active context by ~26%; the
ship-discipline wiring affects every future milestone ship. Small but
high-leverage. No revision needed.

## Summary
9 challenges; 0 escalations; 2 binding revisions (G-Q4, G-Q6/G-Q9
minor). Overall verdict: PROCEED (confidence 0.84).
6 challenges; 0 escalations; 1 binding revision (G-Q2, already
captured in PLAN Task 2.1). Overall verdict: PROCEED (confidence
0.88).
**Binding revisions:**
- **G-Q4:** REQ-322 moves to P2 W0 (already revised in PLAN.md + ROADMAP.md).
- **G-Q6:** PLAN.md P3 W4 Task 4.1 should note the settlement-finality
policy is authored + tested in v1.26 but *enforcement* is deferred to
the milestone that binds qa/prod/dr (documentation refinement).
- **G-Q9:** PLAN.md should note the `NOVA_AWS_*` key-split as a future
hardening item (documentation refinement).
- **G-Q2:** Archive list refined to 7 platform + 1 consumer = 8 files.
The 4 pre-execution files (CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH) stay active
through v1.27 (they hold the v1.27 P0 content); the v1.26-era content
is in git history. Already in PLAN.
**No work is blocked.** The milestone is feasible, scoped, and the
domain claims hold. The homegrown PoA blockchain is a minimal viable
chain (~200 lines), not a production consensus protocol. The equities-
only scope is the user's choice. The multi-project mode is specified in
`run.md`. The P2→P3 dependency is resolved (REQ-322 → P2 W0). The
MTTR target is for incident-remediation, not first-time apply. The
settlement-finality policy is authored + tested, enforcement is future.
D-083 deferral is defensible for a technical pilot. The PCR schema is
unchanged. The root-equivalent key is a bounded risk with a documented
future hardening path.
**No work is blocked.** The milestone is feasible, scoped, the
compression is lossless (archive + git history), the STATE.md backfill
is source-grounded with a verification step, the NFR purity holds, and
the phasing (P1 additive, P2 correction, P3 ship) is sound.

engineering personas. Owns the milestone narrative (PROJECT.md,
ROADMAP.md, ARCHITECTURE.md §12.8). Final architectural decisions when
personas disagree (e.g. where the outcome-backfill emitter lives).
- **domain:** project coordination, milestone narrative, cross-persona
conflict resolution.
- **frameworks:** none (coordination role).

backend/data-engineer); does not author policies (delegates to
policy-engineer); does not author chain code (delegates to
blockchain-engineer).
- **reason:** Owns the full v1.27 milestone narrative: STATE.md
authoring (PO-facing capability catalog, 36 entries across 10
domains + 11 invariants), archive moves (11 files to
`.ciagent/archive/` + 1 to consumer archive), PROJECT.md + ROADMAP.md
phase-status corrections, archive/README.md contents update,
PLAN.md + ROADMAP.md + NORTH_STAR.md ship-discipline wiring, final
review + audit.

history preserves authoritative state); STATE.md is additive only.
### 2. backend-engineer (active)
- **active:** true
- **phase_specific:** false
- **reason:** Owns the platform-side Python changes: confidence signal
escalation reason (REQ-318), outcome-backfill emitter (REQ-317),
env-JSON state_backend wiring (REQ-319), adapter test updates for
DynamoDB (REQ-322), regression CAP-025 (REQ-316).

to blockchain-engineer).
## Deactivated (5)
### 3. data-engineer (active)
- **active:** true
- **phase_specific:** false
- **reason:** Owns the DynamoDB L1 primitive (REQ-322) — the single
platform-side module build-out. Owns the metrics cold store
outcome-backfill integration (REQ-317, the `fact_decision.outcome`
column + `backfilled_at` timestamp). Owns the env-JSON data updates
(REQ-319, `core/environments/*.json` account_id + state_backend.bucket).
- **domain:** Terraform modules (`modules/l1/`), schema definitions
(`interface.json`), registry (`modules/registry.json`), metrics cold
store (`metrics/nova_metrics.db`, `core/metrics/collector.py`).

- **territory:** `modules/l1/dynamodb/`, `modules/registry.json`,
`modules/README.md`, `core/environments/*.json`,
`core/metrics/collector.py`, `tests/test_adapter.py` (DynamoDB
emission test).
- **constraints:** does not change the adapter (stateless, v1.11);
follows the v1.8 NFR defaults (encryption + deletion protection +
PITR); follows the module standards (`modules/STANDARDS.md`).
### backend-engineer (inactive)
- **active:** false
- **reason:** No code changes in v1.27. The pre-existing
`core/confidence_signal.py` LSP diagnostic is out of scope (not
touched by v1.27).
### 4. policy-engineer (active, custom — added in v1.25)
- **active:** true
- **phase_specific:** false
- **reason:** Owns the kyverno-json policy authoring for the pilot:
settlement-finality (REQ-315), pilot-readiness (REQ-320). Extends
v1.25's policy engine to the securities domain.
- **domain:** declarative policies (kyverno-json ValidatingPolicy YAML),
JMESPath assertions, policy tests.
- **frameworks:** kyverno-json, JMESPath, JSON, pytest.
- **territory:** `adapters/kyverno-json/policies/pilot-readiness/`,
`adapters/kyverno-json/policies/settlement-finality/`,
`tests/test_settlement_finality_policy.py`,
`tests/test_pilot_readiness_policy.py`.
- **constraints:** policies are declarative (no imperative Python);
`is_configured()` guard skips gracefully when `kj` absent; follows
the v1.25 policy-authoring standard (`modules/STANDARDS.md` policy
section + `adapters/kyverno-json/README.md`).
### data-engineer (inactive)
- **active:** false
- **reason:** No schema, migration, or ORM changes.
### 5. blockchain-engineer (active, custom, phase-specific — added in v1.26)
- **active:** true
- **phase_specific:** true (created for v1.26 P1; removed after P1
unless the chain has ongoing work in P2..P4)
- **reason:** The pilot introduces a homegrown blockchain — a domain
beyond the default four personas. Owns the chain core (block, ledger,
validator, REQ-310), the order-matching engine (REQ-311), the
settlement service (REQ-312), and the consumer `contract.yaml`
(REQ-313) + deploy invocation (REQ-314).
- **domain:** blockchain consensus (PoA, single validator), order
matching (limit order book, price-time priority), settlement
(T+1, finality = block commit), consumer-repo deploy model.
- **frameworks:** Python 3.12 (the chain is Python, not Solidity/Go —
it's a homegrown ledger, not a smart-contract platform), pytest,
YAML (contract.yaml), GitHub Actions / Gitea Actions (deploy.yml
invocation).
- **territory:** `/root/nova-blockchain-exchange/` (the consumer repo:
`chain/`, `engine/`, `settlement/`, `contract.yaml`,
`contracts/*.yml`, `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`,
`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`, `tests/`).
- **constraints:** the chain is deterministic (same inputs → same block)
— it is automation, not AI (NORTH_STAR Objective #2 tenet); equities
only (D-200); single validator PoA (D-201); the consumer deploy MUST
go through `deploy.yml@v1.25` (no direct terraform apply); the
contract MUST validate against `schemas/contract.schema.json`.
## Deactivated (1)
### policy-engineer (inactive)
- **active:** false
- **reason:** No policy authoring. STATE.md Domain 3 catalogues
existing v1.25 + v1.26 policies (descriptive, not authoring).
### frontend-engineer (inactive)
- **active:** false
- **phase_specific:** false
- **reason:** The pilot has no UI — the blockchain exchange is a
backend service (matching engine + settlement). The consumer repo
has no web/frontend. Reactivated if a future milestone adds a trading
dashboard.
- **reason:** No UI. Deactivated since v1.26 (PERSONAS.md:141).
## Phase-Specific Notes
- **blockchain-engineer** is created for v1.26 P1 (blockchain core +
order engine + settlement). If P2..P4 have no chain changes, the
persona is removed after P1 (the chain is a stable substrate for the
pilot run). If P2 (consumer-contract-and-deploy) requires chain
adjustments, the persona stays through P2.
- **policy-engineer** is active for P3 (pilot-metrics-and-policies) +
may consult on P4 (pilot run policy verification).
- **data-engineer** is active for P3 (DynamoDB primitive + outcome
backfill + env-JSON) + P4 (regression CAP-025 may touch the registry).
### blockchain-engineer (inactive)
- **active:** false
- **reason:** No chain code. The v1.26 pilot is shipped; v1.27 is
platform-side docs/chore only.
## Territory Enforcement
- **Mode:** `warn` (the pilot is cross-territory by nature — the
consumer repo + the platform repo share the milestone; the
blockchain-engineer works in the consumer repo, backend/data/policy
engineers work in the platform repo).
- **Cross-territory collisions:** REQ-322 (DynamoDB primitive) is
data-engineer territory, but the adapter test update
(`tests/test_adapter.py` `EXPECTED_L1_KEYS`) is backend-engineer
territory. The lead-developer resolves: data-engineer authors the
module + registry; backend-engineer updates the test assertion
(the test is backend territory, the module is data territory).
- **Mode:** `warn` (the milestone is `.ciagent/`-only; the lead-
developer owns all writes; no cross-territory collisions expected).

## Milestone goal
## Phase 0 — Pre-Execution (complete, tag v1.25.0)
Author `.ciagent/STATE.md` (PO-facing capability catalog, backfilled
through v1.26) + compress `.ciagent/` by archiving 11 outdated files +
fix 3 stale-but-kept files + wire STATE.md into the P-final ship
discipline. NFR milestone — no code, no schema, no platform behavior
change.
SPECIFY → CLARIFY → RESEARCH → IDEATE → PLAN → GRILL. All `.ciagent/`
MD, research, plans. Ships as `v1.25.0` on the v1.25.x line.
## Requirements
**Pre-run (Workstream A, on main before branch gate):**
- A1: flaky test fix (commit `8c68d68`, pushed).
- A2: ACDL_*→NOVA_* bootstrap migration (commit `f844fea`, pushed).
- A3: AWS bootstrap — S3 state bucket + DynamoDB outbox created.
- A4: `nova-blockchain-exchange` Gitea repo created + cloned.
No new REQ-NNN. v1.27 is a docs/chore milestone; the work items are
the user-approved plan from the prior conversation. The traceability
is by-file (the "requirements" are the 15 file operations + 6 doc
edits in the plan summary).
**Phase 0 stages (on `phase/00-specify-clarify-research-plan`):**
- SPECIFY: v1.26 established in config.json + PROJECT.md + ROADMAP.md +
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/{PROJECT,REQUIREMENTS,ROADMAP}.md`.
- CLARIFY: 10 ambiguities resolved (D-200..D-213).
- RESEARCH: PoA blockchain, deploy model, DynamoDB gap (REQ-322),
metric grounding, persona assessment (5 personas).
- IDEATE: 7 ideas accepted (I1..I7 → REQ-315..322), 3 deferred.
- PLAN: this file.
- GRILL: adversarial review (binding verdicts).
## Phase breakdown
---
### Phase P1 — author-archive (additive + lossless)
## Phase 1 — blockchain-core (tag v1.25.1)
**Goal:** Author STATE.md (already done in P0 SPECIFY, refined here)
+ archive 11 outdated files. Pure-additive + lossless moves only —
no edits to kept files.
**Goal:** The consumer repo has a working homegrown PoA blockchain +
order-matching engine + settlement service. All unit tests pass in the
consumer repo's own CI.
#### Wave 1 — verify STATE.md backfill
- **Task 1.1** (lead-developer): verify STATE.md 36 capability rows
against the authoritative sources (regression_verify.py CAP-NNN list,
modules/registry.json, REQUIREMENTS.md traceability, CHECKPOINT
tags). Fix any inaccurate citation (shipped tag, file path).
**Project:** `nova-blockchain-exchange` (consumer repo).
**Branch:** `nova-blockchain-exchange/phase/01-blockchain-core`.
**Persona:** blockchain-engineer (primary), lead-developer (coordination).
#### Wave 2 — archive platform-root files (10)
- **Task 2.1** (lead-developer): `git mv` 10 files to
`.ciagent/archive/` with milestone-suffix names:
- `CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md``CAPABILITY_INVENTORY-v1.10.md`
- `CLARIFY.md``CLARIFY-v1.26.md`
- `GRILL.md``GRILL-v1.26.md`
- `IDEATE.md``IDEATE-v1.26.md`
- `RESEARCH.md``RESEARCH-v1.26.md`
- `REVIEW-AUDIT-P05.md``REVIEW-AUDIT-P05.md`
- `VERIFY-P03.md``VERIFY-P03.md`
- `VERIFY-P04.md``VERIFY-P04.md`
- `P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE.md``P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE-v1.26.md`
- `AUTONOMY_THESIS.md``AUTONOMY_THESIS-v1.21.md`
- `COST.md``COST-v1.14.md`
Use `git mv` to preserve history. NOTE: CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH
were rewritten in P0 with v1.27 content — archive the v1.27 versions
(they document the v1.27 pre-execution; the next P0 writes fresh).
Wait — per D-219, the v1.26 pre-execution artifacts are archived. The
v1.27 versions replace them in active context; they are NOT archived
at P1 (they are the current P0 artifacts, active until v1.27 ships,
then archived at v1.28 P1 if v1.28 happens). **Correction:** archive
only the v1.26-era pre-execution artifacts. But P0 already
overwrote CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH with v1.27 content. The v1.26
content lives in git history (the pre-P0 commits). So:
- The 4 pre-execution files (CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH) at HEAD
are the v1.27 P0 artifacts — **keep active** through v1.27, archive
at v1.28.
- The v1.26-era content is in git history — reachable.
**Revised archive list (7 files, not 10):** CAPABILITY_INVENTORY,
REVIEW-AUDIT-P05, VERIFY-P03, VERIFY-P04, P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE,
AUTONOMY_THESIS, COST.
### Wave 1 — chain core (REQ-310)
- **Task 1.1** (blockchain-engineer): `chain/block.py` — Block dataclass
(index, timestamp, prev_hash, transactions, nonce, hash).
`compute_hash()` deterministic (SHA-256). Unit test: `test_block.py`.
- **Task 1.2** (blockchain-engineer): `chain/ledger.py` — Ledger class:
`append_block()`, `verify_chain()`, `get_block(index)`,
`get_latest_block()`. Genesis block on init. Unit test: `test_ledger.py`.
- **Task 1.3** (blockchain-engineer): `chain/validator.py` — PoA
validator: single validator (config-driven), `propose_block(transactions)`
→ Block, `commit_block(block)`. Unit test: `test_validator.py`.
Hold — let me re-check D-219. The user said "Archive all 4
pre-execution artifacts." That was decided *before* P0 overwrote
them. The intent was to archive the v1.26 pre-execution record. The
v1.27 P0 overwrites are the new pre-execution record. Archiving the
v1.27 versions at v1.27 P1 would lose the v1.27 pre-execution
narrative. **Resolution:** archive the v1.26-era content (preserved
in git history at the pre-P0 commits) by noting it in the archive
README; keep the v1.27 P0 versions active through v1.27. The 4 files
stay active until v1.28 P1.
### Wave 2 — order engine + settlement (REQ-311, REQ-312) — parallel with Wave 1 tail
- **Task 2.1** (blockchain-engineer): `engine/order.py` — Order
dataclass (id, side, symbol, price, size, timestamp).
- **Task 2.2** (blockchain-engineer): `engine/order_book.py`
OrderBook: `add_order(order)`, `match_orders()` → list of Match
(price-time priority, partial fills). Unit test: `test_order_book.py`.
- **Task 2.3** (blockchain-engineer): `settlement/service.py`
SettlementService: `settle(match)` → SettlementTransaction,
`submit(ledger)`. Idempotent (re-settling a match is a no-op once
final). Finality = block commit. Unit test: `test_settlement.py`.
**Final archive list (7 files):** CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md,
REVIEW-AUDIT-P05.md, VERIFY-P03.md, VERIFY-P04.md,
P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE.md, AUTONOMY_THESIS.md, COST.md.
### Wave 3 — consumer CI (cross-cutting)
- **Task 3.1** (blockchain-engineer): `.github/workflows/ci.yml` +
`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — lint + pytest on chain/engine/settlement.
- **Task 3.2** (lead-developer): `nova-blockchain-exchange/README.md`
repo overview + dev setup.
- **Task 2.2** (lead-developer): grep for dangling references to the
archived filenames across `.ciagent/` + `docs/`; fix any in P2 (the
fix-stale phase).
#### Wave 3 — archive consumer file (1)
- **Task 3.1** (lead-developer): `mkdir
.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/` + `git mv
nova-blockchain-exchange/ROADMAP.md` →
`nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.md` (D-221).
#### Wave 4 — commit P1
- **Task 4.1** (lead-developer): single commit `chore(P01): archive 7
platform + 1 consumer outdated .ciagent files` with `---ci---`
block.
**Must-haves (verify before ship):**
- `pytest tests/` in the consumer repo passes (chain integrity, hash
determinism, genesis, append/verify, match priority, partial fills,
settlement idempotency, finality check).
- The chain is deterministic (replay produces the same hash chain).
- The consumer CI workflow runs on push.
- STATE.md 36 rows accurate (Wave 1 verification).
- 7 platform files present in `.ciagent/archive/` with milestone
suffixes; originals gone from `.ciagent/` root.
- 1 consumer file present in
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/`; original gone.
- 0 dangling references in active files (checked in P2, but flagged
here).
**Ship:** tag `v1.25.1`, merge `phase/01``milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation`,
Gitea release (best-effort). Delete `phase/01`.
### Phase P2 — fix-stale-wire (corrections + wiring)
---
**Goal:** Fix 3 stale-but-kept files + wire STATE.md into the P-final
ship discipline + add a pointer in the consumer PROJECT.md.
## Phase 2consumer-contract-and-deploy (tag v1.25.2)
#### Wave 1fix PROJECT.md phase-status
- **Task 1.1** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/PROJECT.md` lines 424431 —
the v1.26 phase-status block. Mark P3/P4/P5 complete with shipped
tags (`v1.25.3`, `v1.25.4`, `v1.25.5`); mark v1.26 milestone shipped.
- **Task 1.2** (lead-developer): add a one-line pointer to STATE.md in
the "Capability Status" section header (line 130): "The PO-facing
capability catalog is `.ciagent/STATE.md` (additive; updated at
milestone ship). CAP-NNN IDs cross-reference the regression gate at
`core/regression_verify.py`."
**Goal:** The consumer repo declares its infrastructure via
`contract.yaml` (validated against the platform's schema) + invokes the
platform's `deploy.yml@v1.25` workflow. The contract references the
`microservice` (ECS), `dynamodb`, + `s3` modules.
#### Wave 2 — fix ROADMAP.md phase-status
- **Task 2.1** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` v1.26 section —
mark P3/P4/P5 complete with shipped tags; mark the v1.26 Overview
line (line 181) "(active, ...)" → "(complete, tag `v1.25.5`)".
- **Task 2.2** (lead-developer): add STATE.md to the v1.25 + v1.26 P5
phase-detail "Updated at ship" list (the convention visibility
point).
**Project:** `nova-blockchain-exchange` (consumer repo) + `acdl`
(platform repo — for the `deploy.yml@v1.25` ref + the `v1.25` floating
tag).
**Branch:** `nova-blockchain-exchange/phase/02-contract-and-deploy`.
**Persona:** blockchain-engineer (contract authoring), data-engineer
(registry/DynamoDB dependency check), lead-developer (deploy.yml ref).
#### Wave 3 — wire STATE.md into ship discipline
- **Task 3.1** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/PLAN.md` P5 Wave 3 Task 3.5
— add STATE.md to the file-update list: "append new capability
entries to `.ciagent/STATE.md`; mark any deprecated capability."
- **Task 3.2** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/NORTH_STAR.md` — add a
one-line note in "Relationship to engineering files" (or the v1.25
update section): "STATE.md is the *what exists* catalog (PO-owned,
additive, updated at milestone ship); this file is the *why*."
### Wave 1contract (REQ-313)
- **Task 1.1** (blockchain-engineer): `contract.yaml`id
(`blkex`), name (`blockchain-exchange`), environment (dev),
infrastructure block (microservice + dynamodb + s3).
- **Task 1.2** (blockchain-engineer): `contracts/blockchain-exchange.dev.yml`,
`.qa.yml`, `.prod.yml` — per-env variants.
- **Task 1.3** (blockchain-engineer): `tests/test_contract_validates.py`
— schema validation against the platform's
`schemas/contract.schema.json`.
#### Wave 4fix archive README + consumer PROJECT pointer
- **Task 4.1** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/archive/README.md`add
the 8 new archived files (7 platform + 1 consumer) to the contents
tables (Snapshots + Completed-phase artifacts sections).
- **Task 4.2** (lead-developer):
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/PROJECT.md` — add a one-line
pointer to the platform ROADMAP for milestone-phase history (since
the consumer ROADMAP is archived): "Phase-by-phase history:
`.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` §v1.26 (the consumer ROADMAP is archived at
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.md`)."
### Wave 2deploy invocation (REQ-314)
- **Task 2.1** (blockchain-engineer): `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`
`uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.25` with
`with: { contract: contract.yaml, mode: full, environment: dev }`.
- **Task 2.2** (blockchain-engineer): `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`
byte-identical mirror.
- **Task 2.3** (blockchain-engineer): `tests/test_deploy_workflow_invocation.py`
— asserts the `uses:` ref + inputs.
#### Wave 5fix any dangling references from P1 Wave 2
- **Task 5.1** (lead-developer): apply fixes for any dangling
references found in P1 Wave 2.
### Wave 3platform floating tag (cross-cutting)
- **Task 3.1** (lead-developer, on `acdl` repo): verify the `v1.25`
floating tag exists (created by `release.yml` on merge to main). If
not, create it pointing at the `v1.25.0` tag (Phase 0 ship).
#### Wave 6commit P2
- **Task 6.1** (lead-developer): single commit `docs(P02): fix stale
phase-status + wire STATE.md into ship discipline` with `---ci---`
block.
**Must-haves (verify before ship):**
- `contract.yaml` validates against `schemas/contract.schema.json`.
- The deploy workflow invocation asserts the correct `uses:` ref +
inputs.
- The `v1.25` floating tag resolves.
- PROJECT.md v1.26 phase-status matches CHECKPOINT.json (P3/P4/P5
complete, v1.26 shipped).
- ROADMAP.md v1.26 sections show P3/P4/P5 complete + Overview complete.
- PLAN.md P5 Wave 3 names STATE.md.
- NORTH_STAR.md notes STATE.md.
- archive/README.md lists the 8 new archived files.
- nova-blockchain-exchange/PROJECT.md points to platform ROADMAP.
**Ship:** tag `v1.25.2`, merge `phase/02` → milestone, Gitea release.
Delete `phase/02`.
### Phase P3 — final-review-ship (review + audit + milestone ship)
---
**Goal:** Final review + audit + milestone ship.
## Phase 3pilot-metrics-and-policies (tag v1.25.3)
#### Wave 1review
- **Task 1.1** (lead-developer): review all P1/P2 changes for
correctness (no broken markdown, no inaccurate citations, no
dangling references).
- **Task 1.2** (lead-developer): fix any P0 issues in this phase.
**Goal:** The platform repo gains the metric-grounding emitters, the
kyverno-json pilot policies, the DynamoDB L1 primitive, the env-JSON
wiring reconciliation, + the pilot regression CAP. The Post-Pilot
metrics are grounded (outcome backfill + escalation reason); the pilot-
readiness + settlement-finality policies are in place.
#### Wave 2 — audit
- **Task 2.1** (lead-developer): reconstruction test — git log
`---ci---` blocks ↔ `.ciagent/` files consistent; phase
progression P0→P1→P2→P3.
- **Task 2.2** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/` file discipline —
CHECKPOINT consistent with HEAD; PROJECT/ROADMAP phase-status
consistent with CHECKPOINT; STATE.md present + 36 rows; archive
contents match the moves.
- **Task 2.3** (lead-developer): branch hygiene — only main +
milestone + P3; P1/P2 deleted.
- **Task 2.4** (lead-developer): commit discipline — all v1.27 commits
carry `---ci---` blocks.
**Project:** `acdl` (platform repo) + `nova-blockchain-exchange`
(consumer repo — the Gitea adapter rewrites the consumer's `deploy.yml`).
**Branch:** `acdl/phase/03-pilot-metrics-and-policies` (platform branch).
**Personas:** backend-engineer (emitters + adapter + regression),
data-engineer (DynamoDB primitive + env JSON + collector),
policy-engineer (kyverno-json policies), lead-developer (Gitea adapter
+ deploy.yml drift + rotation workflow).
### Wave 0 — Gitea reusable-workflow adapter (SPEC §10 Q1, resolved by evidence) — lead-developer + blockchain-engineer
> **Highest-priority gap.** The v0.2 P3 `workflow_dispatch` (Gitea
> Actions run id=6199) failed: Gitea Actions rejects cross-repo `uses:`
> (`acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.25`) with `expected format
> {owner}/{repo}/.{git_platform}/workflows/{filename}@{ref}`. The
> consumer's `deploy.yml` is frozen at the v0.1 byte-identical mirror;
> the platform adapts (option c — inline checkout-then-call), not
> vice-versa.
- **Task 0.1** (lead-developer): rewrite
`nova-blockchain-exchange/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` + byte-identical
`.github/workflows/deploy.yml` — drop the `uses:` indirection; single
`deploy` job on `ubuntu-latest` that `actions/checkout@v4` the consumer,
`actions/checkout@v4` `acdl/acdl` @ `ref: v1.25` into `platform/`,
setup-python 3.12, install deps (jsonschema/pyyaml/boto3 + checkov),
install Terraform 1.9.*, configure AWS (static-key path:
`aws-region: ${{ secrets.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION }}`, `access-key-id` +
`secret-access-key` from `NOVA_AWS_*` secrets; no OIDC token minted),
run `bash platform/scripts/run_platform.sh $MODE_FLAG $ENV_FLAG
contract.yaml`. Preserve `on: workflow_dispatch` inputs (mode choice
default full; environment choice default "") + `permissions: {id-token:
write, contents: read}` + `secrets: inherit`.
- **Task 0.2** (blockchain-engineer): update
`nova-blockchain-exchange/tests/test_deploy_workflow_invocation.py` +
`test_deploy_gitea_invocation.py` — assert no cross-repo `uses:`,
assert `ref: v1.25`, assert `secrets: inherit`, assert
`run_platform.sh` invoked, assert `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` wired.
- **Task 0.3** (lead-developer): `acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml`
stays as the GitHub Actions reference impl (the `workflow_call`
reusable workflow — used by GitHub-hosted consumers); document in
`adapters/README.md` that Gitea consumers use the inline adapter, not
the reusable `uses:`.
### Wave 0.5 — kyverno-json substrate fix (v1.25 skip-masked bug) — backend-engineer
> The v1.25 kyverno-json engine + policies were never validated
> against the real `kj` binary (tests `pytest.skip("kj not installed")`
> when absent). With `kj` now installed (v0.0.3), 3 policy tests
> failed. Root cause: (a) `kj` v0.0.3 does not load `.json` policy
> files (only `.yaml`/`.yml`) — the engine now materializes `.yaml`
> twins at runtime; (b) the `validate` wrapper is not supported —
> `assert` goes directly under the rule; (c) the check syntax was
> inverted (`expression: expected_value`, not `key: expression`);
> (d) the engine `_translate` expected `{"results": [...]}` but `kj`
> returns a bare list with `results[].policy.metadata.name` +
> `results[].rules[].violations[]`. DONE (committed 59d837f). Also
> fixed `scripts/install-kyverno-json.sh` (the `cmd/kj@latest` path
> fails — the real binary is `kyverno-json`, symlinked as `kj`).
- **Task 0.5.1** (backend-engineer): rewrite
`adapters/kyverno-json/kyverno_json_engine.py` `_translate` for the
bare-list output format + add `_materialize_yaml_policy_dir` (DONE).
- **Task 0.5.2** (backend-engineer): remove the `validate` wrapper +
fix check syntax across all 16 existing policies (DONE).
- **Task 0.5.3** (backend-engineer): fix
`scripts/install-kyverno-json.sh` (DONE).
- **Task 0.5.4** (backend-engineer): resolve pre-existing P2 drift
uncovered by the full-suite run — dynamodb `examples/simple.yml` +
`complex.yml`, `sync_workflows` re-sync, CAP-024 deck path
(`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`) + slide-count bound +
`class="benefit"` div count (DONE, committed 3735330).
### Wave 1 — DynamoDB primitive (REQ-322) — data-engineer — verify-only (done in P2 W0)
- **Task 1.1** (data-engineer): verify `modules/l1/dynamodb/` resolves
+ emits valid Terraform via `tests/test_adapter.py` (the primitive
shipped in P2 W0; this wave is a re-verify, not re-authoring).
### Wave 2 — metric grounding (REQ-317, REQ-318) — backend-engineer + data-engineer — parallel
- **Task 2.1** (backend-engineer): `core/metrics/outcome_backfill.py`
`backfill(decision_id, outcome)` updates `fact_decision.outcome` +
`backfilled_at`. Reads run-manifest events.
- **Task 2.2** (backend-engineer): `core/metrics/collector.py`
invokes backfill after run completion.
- **Task 2.3** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_outcome_backfill.py`.
- **Task 2.4** (backend-engineer): `core/confidence_signal.py`
`ai.decision.made` gains `escalation_reason: 'confidence'` when
`band == 'block'`.
- **Task 2.5** (backend-engineer): `core/metrics/collector.py`
persists `escalation_reason` into `fact_run`.
- **Task 2.6** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_confidence_escalation_reason.py`.
### Wave 3 — env-JSON wiring + adapter (REQ-319) — backend-engineer + data-engineer — parallel
- **Task 3.1** (backend-engineer): `adapters/terraform/adapter.py`
reads `env.state_backend.bucket` when present (fallback to computed
name for backwards compat).
- **Task 3.2** (data-engineer): `core/environments/dev.json`
`account_id``581513795199`, `state_backend.bucket`
`nova-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1`.
- **Task 3.3** (data-engineer): `core/environments/{qa,prod,dr}.json`
`state_backend.bucket` updated; `account_id` stays placeholder
(pilot-readiness policy blocks apply on placeholder, D-208).
- **Task 3.4** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_adapter_state_backend.py`.
- **Task 3.5** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_adapter.py` — add
`dynamodb` to `EXPECTED_L1_KEYS` + a resolution + emission test
(cross-territory: data-engineer authored the module, backend-engineer
owns the test).
### Wave 4 — kyverno-json policies (REQ-315, REQ-320) — policy-engineer — parallel
- **Task 4.1** (policy-engineer):
`adapters/kyverno-json/policies/settlement-finality/all-matches-committed.json`
— kyverno-json policy over settlement-service status JSON (asserts
`all_committed: true`). **Note (G-Q6):** the policy is authored +
tested in v1.26; *enforcement* is deferred to the milestone that
binds qa/prod/dr (D-208 — the policy gates promotions, not dev
applies).
- **Task 4.2** (policy-engineer):
`adapters/kyverno-json/policies/pilot-readiness/no-placeholder-account.json`
— kyverno-json policy over env JSON (asserts
`account_id != "000000000000"`).
- **Task 4.3** (policy-engineer): `tests/test_settlement_finality_policy.py`
— passing + failing fixtures; **runs against real `kj`** (not skipped
`kj` is installed via `scripts/install-kyverno-json.sh`).
- **Task 4.4** (policy-engineer): `tests/test_pilot_readiness_policy.py`
— passing (real account) + failing (placeholder) fixtures; **runs
against real `kj`** (not skipped).
### Wave 5 — regression CAP (REQ-316) — backend-engineer
- **Task 5.1** (backend-engineer): `core/regression_verify.py`
CAP-025 (live-pilot-apply): the round-trip assertion.
- **Task 5.2** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_regression_pilot.py`.
### Wave 6 — deploy.yml drift fixes (SPEC §5.1/§5.2) — lead-developer + backend-engineer
> The platform reference `workflows-src/deploy.yml` (synced to
> `.github`+`.gitea`) has three drifts vs the SPEC: (a) `aws-region`
> hardcoded `us-east-1` (SPEC wants `NOVA_AWS_REGION`/`AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`
> from secret); (b) platform checkout `ref: v1.9` (SPEC wants `v1.25`);
> (c) the local `scripts/run_platform.sh` fallback exports raw
> `NOVA_AWS_*` names into shell env (SPEC §5.2 constraint: consume as
> workflow secrets, not shell env — `blocked_env_vars`).
- **Task 6.1** (lead-developer): `workflows-src/deploy.yml`
`aws-region: ${{ secrets.AWS_DEFAULT_REGION || 'us-east-1' }}`;
platform checkout `ref: v1.25`; re-sync to `.github`+`.gitea`.
- **Task 6.2** (backend-engineer): `scripts/run_platform.sh` — source
`AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` from `.env.secrets` for the local fallback (not
raw `NOVA_AWS_*`); the CI path already consumes secrets via the
`configure-aws-credentials` action.
- **Task 6.3** (backend-engineer): `tests/test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py`
— assert `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` wired + `ref: v1.25` + no raw
`NOVA_AWS_*` in shell env.
### Wave 7 — secret rotation scheduled workflow (SPEC §5.9) — lead-developer
> SPEC §5.9: "the rotation mechanism must *exist* (not have run)."
> A platform-managed scheduled workflow wraps the existing
> `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` (manual today) on a daily cron.
- **Task 7.1** (lead-developer): `workflows-src/rotate-aws-key.yml`
`on: { schedule: [{cron: "0 0 * * *"}], workflow_dispatch:}`,
single job that checks out the platform repo + runs
`bash scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` with `NOVA_AWS_*` bootstrap
secrets; sync to `.github`+`.gitea`.
- **Task 7.2** (lead-developer): verify `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`
is idempotent (deactivates old key only after the new key propagates
to the Gitea Actions secret store).
- **Task 7.3** (lead-developer): `tests/test_rotate_key_workflow.py`
structural test (the workflow file declares `schedule` + invokes
`rotate_spike_key.sh`); document in `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md` §12.8
that the mechanism exists (v0.2 scope: exists-not-ran per SPEC §5.9).
**Must-haves (verify before ship):**
- `pytest tests/` in the platform repo passes (the 170 baseline held
inaccurately — the real P2 baseline had 7 pre-existing failures
uncovered by W0.5; all now fixed). Full suite green.
- `pytest tests/` in the consumer repo passes (deploy invocation tests
updated for the inline adapter).
- The kyverno-json substrate works against real `kj` (W0.5 — DONE).
- The Gitea adapter: consumer `deploy.yml` has no cross-repo `uses:`;
inline checkout `acdl@v1.25` + `run_platform.sh` (W0).
- The DynamoDB primitive resolves + emits valid Terraform (W1 verify).
- The outcome backfill updates `fact_decision.outcome` (not `pending`)
(W2).
- The `escalation_reason` field is emitted on `block` band (W2).
- The adapter reads `env.state_backend.bucket` from the env JSON (W3).
- The 2 new kyverno-json policies pass on valid fixtures + fail on
invalid fixtures, against real `kj` (W4 — not skipped).
- CAP-025 is in the regression gate (W5).
- The deploy.yml drifts fixed: `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` wired, `ref:
v1.25`, no raw `NOVA_AWS_*` in shell env (W6).
- The rotation scheduled workflow exists (W7).
**Ship:** tag `v1.25.3`, merge `phase/03` → milestone, Gitea release.
Delete `phase/03`.

## Phase 4 — pilot-run-and-docs (tag v1.25.4)
**Goal:** The pilot estate runs end-to-end against live AWS
`581513795199` (contract resolve → adapter compile → terraform plan →
policy scan → confidence signal → attestation → outbox record). Docs +
adapter README + onboarding guide are complete.
**Project:** `nova-blockchain-exchange` (consumer repo — the run) +
`acdl` (platform repo — docs).
**Branch:** `acdl/phase/04-pilot-run-and-docs` (platform branch for
docs); the run happens via the consumer's `deploy.yml` invocation.
**Personas:** blockchain-engineer (the run), lead-developer (docs),
backend-engineer (regression CAP-025 verification).
### Wave 1 — the pilot run (REQ-316 verification, live)
- **Task 1.1** (blockchain-engineer): trigger the consumer's
`deploy.yml` with `mode: full, environment: dev` against
`581513795199`. The workflow checks out the consumer + platform
repos, runs `run_platform.sh`, applies the contract (ECS +
DynamoDB + S3), records the decision + attestation.
- **Task 1.2** (backend-engineer): verify CAP-025 (regression gate)
passes against the live run.
- **Task 1.3** (blockchain-engineer): capture the run's
`ai.decision.made` + `attestation.recorded` events from the Decision
Ledger → evidence for the milestone ship.
### Wave 2 — docs (REQ-321)
- **Task 2.1** (lead-developer): `adapters/README.md` — new consumer
row + fix the stale `TYPE_MAP` references (IDEATE I8).
- **Task 2.2** (lead-developer): `docs/METRICS.md` — Post-Pilot metrics
grounded note (the 3 targets now have non-zero denominators post-run).
- **Task 2.3** (lead-developer): `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md` §12.8
(Pilot Estate).
- **Task 2.4** (lead-developer):
`.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/README.md` — consumer onboarding
guide (how to invoke `deploy.yml@v1.25`, what secrets to set, what
the contract shape is).
**Must-haves (verify before ship):**
- The pilot run completes end-to-end (apply succeeds, decision recorded,
attestation recorded for dev — autonomous, no human approver).
- CAP-025 passes.
- The 3 Post-Pilot metrics have non-zero denominators (the run
contributed to `fact_run` + `fact_decision`).
- Docs are complete (adapter README, METRICS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md §12.8,
consumer onboarding guide).
**Ship:** tag `v1.25.4`, merge `phase/04` → milestone, Gitea release.
Delete `phase/04`.
---
## Phase 5 — final review + audit + milestone ship (tag v1.25.5)
**Goal:** Multi-persona code review across P1..P4. Audit (reconstruction
test, branch hygiene, commit discipline). Milestone ship: merge to main,
tag `v1.25.5` (= the v1.26 release), Gitea release with full milestone
summary, delete all milestone branches.
**Project:** both (`acdl` + `nova-blockchain-exchange`).
**Branch:** `phase/05-final-review-ship`.
**Personas:** lead-developer (review + audit + ship), backend-engineer
(review), data-engineer (review), policy-engineer (review),
blockchain-engineer (review — the chain core is reviewed).
### Wave 1 — review
- **Task 1.1** (lead-developer): `ciagent-review` — multi-persona code
review across P1..P4. Auto-fix P0; flag P1+ for post-hoc review.
- **Task 1.2** (all personas): fix P0 issues in this phase.
### Wave 2 — audit
- **Task 2.1** (lead-developer): `ciagent-audit` — reconstruction test
(git log ↔ `.ciagent/`), branch hygiene, commit discipline.
- **Task 2.2** (lead-developer): fix critical audit issues in this phase.
### Wave 3 — milestone ship
- **Task 3.1** (lead-developer): merge `phase/05` →
`milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation` → `main`.
- **Task 3.2** (lead-developer): tag `v1.25.5` (= the v1.26 release per
prev-minor tagging rule).
- **Task 3.3** (lead-developer): create Gitea release with full milestone
summary (all phases, all 13 requirements).
- **Task 3.4** (lead-developer): delete all milestone branches (local +
remote). Tags preserve all history.
- **Task 3.5** (lead-developer): update `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/REQUIREMENTS.md`
(mark REQ-310..322 complete), `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` (mark v1.26
complete), `.ciagent/NORTH_STAR.md` (note Strategic Objectives #1 +
#3 — first real consumer estate; Post-Pilot denominators activated).
#### Wave 3 — milestone ship
- **Task 3.1** (lead-developer): merge `phase/03` →
`milestone/v1.27-po-state-catalog` → `main`.
- **Task 3.2** (lead-developer): tag `v1.26.3` (= the v1.27 release per
prev-minor tagging rule; v1.27 is an NFR milestone, tags on v1.26.x).
- **Task 3.3** (lead-developer): create Gitea release with full
milestone summary.
- **Task 3.4** (lead-developer): delete all milestone branches (local
+ remote). Tags preserve all history.
- **Task 3.5** (lead-developer): update `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md`
(no REQs to mark — NFR milestone), `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` (mark
v1.27 complete), `.ciagent/NORTH_STAR.md` (no strategic change),
`.ciagent/STATE.md` (bump "Last milestone ship" to v1.27).
- **Task 3.6** (lead-developer): write checkpoint `stage: complete,
phase: 5, phase_role: final` + clear checkpoint (milestone complete).
phase: 3, phase_role: final` + clear checkpoint (milestone
complete).
**Must-haves (verify before ship):**
- Review: 0 P0 issues unfixed; P1+ flagged for post-hoc.
- Audit: reconstruction test passes; branch hygiene clean; commit
discipline clean.
- Ship: `v1.25.5` tag exists; Gitea release created; milestone branches
deleted; main has the milestone merge.
- Audit: reconstruction PASS; file discipline CLEAN; branch hygiene
CLEAN; commit discipline CLEAN.
- Ship: `v1.26.3` tag exists; Gitea release created; milestone
branches deleted; main has the milestone merge.

No REQ-NNN (NFR milestone). The work items are file operations,
traced by the Wave tasks above.
---
## Wave Ordering Rationale
- **P1 W1 → W2:** the chain core (block + ledger + validator) must land
before the order engine + settlement (they submit transactions to the
ledger). W3 (CI) is cross-cutting + can land any time after W1.
- **P2 W1 → W2:** the contract must land before the deploy invocation
(the invocation references the contract). W3 (floating tag) is cross-
cutting.
- **P3 W1 (DynamoDB) first:** the contract (P2) references `dynamodb` —
the primitive must exist before P2's contract can resolve. **Risk:**
P2's contract references a module that doesn't exist until P3. Resolution: P2's contract is authored but the `test_contract_validates.py` test only checks schema validity (not registry resolution) — the registry resolution test is in P3 (after the primitive lands). The contract's `dynamodb` block is schema-valid (the schema is open); the registry resolution happens at apply time (P4).
- **Alternative:** move REQ-322 to P2 W0 (before the contract). This
avoids the P2→P3 dependency. **Decision: move REQ-322 to P2 W0.**
See revised mapping below.
### Revised: REQ-322 → P2 W0
REQ-322 (DynamoDB primitive) lands in P2 Wave 0 (before the contract)
so the contract's `dynamodb` block resolves at registry time, not just
schema time. This makes P2 self-contained: the primitive + the contract
+ the deploy invocation all land in P2.
| REQ | Phase | Wave | Persona |
|---|---|---|---|
| REQ-310 (blockchain core) | P1 | W1 | blockchain-engineer |
| REQ-311 (order engine) | P1 | W2 | blockchain-engineer |
| REQ-312 (settlement) | P1 | W2 | blockchain-engineer |
| REQ-322 (DynamoDB primitive) | P2 | W0 | data-engineer |
| REQ-313 (contract.yaml) | P2 | W1 | blockchain-engineer |
| REQ-314 (deploy invocation) | P2 | W2 | blockchain-engineer |
| REQ-315 (settlement-finality policy) | P3 | W4 | policy-engineer |
| REQ-316 (pilot regression CAP) | P3 | W5 + P4 W1 | backend-engineer |
| REQ-317 (outcome backfill) | P3 | W2 | backend-engineer |
| REQ-318 (escalation reason) | P3 | W2 | backend-engineer |
| REQ-319 (env-JSON wiring) | P3 | W3 | backend + data-engineer |
| REQ-320 (pilot-readiness policy) | P3 | W4 | policy-engineer |
| REQ-321 (docs) | P4 | W2 | lead-developer |
This revision is a binding plan decision (G-Q8 in the grill may
challenge it).
- **P1 W1 → W2:** verify STATE.md before archiving (the archive removes
the source-of-truth CAPABILITY_INVENTORY; STATE.md must be accurate
first).
- **P1 W2 → W3:** platform archive before consumer archive (the
platform archive pattern is established; the consumer archive
creates a new subdir).
- **P2 W1 → W2 → W3:** PROJECT.md fix before ROADMAP.md fix before
ship-discipline wiring (PROJECT is the source-of-truth narrative;
ROADMAP mirrors it; PLAN/NORTH_STAR wire the convention).
- **P2 W4:** archive README + consumer pointer (cross-cutting; lands
after the active-file fixes).
- **P2 W5:** dangling-reference fixes (lands after all moves + edits
are known).
---
## Future Hardening Items (not in v1.26 scope, documented per grill G-Q9)
## Vertical-slice integrity
- **`NOVA_AWS_*` key-split:** v1.26 uses a single `NOVA_AWS_*` key with
root-equivalent permissions (D-207, confirmed empirically by the
bootstrap). A future hardening milestone should split this into a
`NOVA_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*` root key (bootstrap only) + a least-privilege
`NOVA_AWS_*` runner key (the spike-runner pattern). The pilot scope
(single account, no production workloads, OIDC default) bounds the
risk.
- **Multi-account landing zone:** qa/prod/dr on separate accounts (D-208
keeps them placeholder in v1.26).
- **D-083 lift:** S3 Object Lock + JWS tamper-evident ledger (when the
pilot becomes a production system, D-204).
- **Multi-validator BFT consensus:** D-201.
- **Other security types:** bonds (T+2), derivatives, options (D-200).
Each phase ships a self-contained, verifiable slice:
- P1 ships STATE.md (verified accurate) + 8 archived files (verified
moved). The active `.ciagent/` root drops from 25 to 17 files.
- P2 ships 3 fixed files + 3 wired files + archive README + consumer
pointer. The kept files match CHECKPOINT.json state.
- P3 ships the milestone release + cleared checkpoint.
---
## Durable convention (v1.27 establishes)
The P-final (milestone-ship) Wave 3 file-update list for every future
milestone includes `.ciagent/STATE.md`:
1. Append new capability entries for each shipped REQ (one row per
capability; group by domain).
2. Mark any deprecated capability with a `Deprecated` row citing the
milestone + replacement.
3. Bump the "Last milestone ship" header in STATE.md.
This is wired into the v1.25 + v1.26 P5 "Updated at ship" lists in
`ROADMAP.md` (see those sections). The next milestone's P0 PLAN.md
inherits this convention by reading ROADMAP.md.

## 1. Domain — Homegrown PoA Blockchain for Securities Settlement
### 1.1 Why a homegrown chain (not Ethereum/Solana/Hyperledger)
The pilot's purpose is to exercise the Nova platform's deploy/policy/
attestation gates over a real consumer estate — not to build a
production blockchain. A homegrown PoA ledger is the minimal viable
chain: append-only blocks, single validator (pilot), SHA-256 hash chain,
deterministic block production. It records every order, match, and
settlement as transactions; settlement finality = block commit. This
is sufficient to demonstrate that Nova's policy engine (kyverno-json)
can assert settlement finality declaratively (REQ-315) and that the
Decision Ledger captures the apply decision.
A production chain (Ethereum/Solana/Hyperledger) would be the *consumer
app's* choice, not the platform's. The platform is chain-agnostic — it
deploys whatever the consumer's `contract.yaml` declares. For the pilot,
the homegrown chain is the simplest way to produce a real consumer
estate without a heavyweight external dependency.
### 1.2 PoA consensus — single validator (pilot)
Proof-of-Authority with a single validator is the minimal consensus
model: the validator proposes + commits blocks. No Byzantine fault
tolerance (single validator = no forks). Deterministic block
production: same ordered transactions → same block (same hash). This
makes the chain auditable (the hash chain is verifiable) and
reproducible (a replay produces the same chain). Multi-validator BFT
is a future milestone (D-201).
### 1.3 T+1 settlement finality
Equities settle T+1 (trade date + 1 business day). The pilot's
settlement service records matches as transactions on the chain; a
settlement is final when its block is committed. The settlement-finality
kyverno-json policy (REQ-315) asserts `all_committed: true` before any
promotion (qa→prod) — the declarative gate that turns settlement
finality into a policy artifact. This is the securities-specific
extension of v1.25's policy engine: the same `KyvernoJsonEngine`
evaluates a policy over a new payload shape (settlement-service status
JSON).
### 1.4 Equities-only scope (D-200)
Bonds (T+2), derivatives (varying), and options (exercise models) have
different settlement models. A pilot should demonstrate the Nova
platform's gates over the simplest case (equities T+1) before
expanding. "All types of securities" is the product vision; v1.26 is
the pilot (equities first). Future milestones add other security types
with their settlement models.
v1.27 is an NFR milestone (docs/chore only, no code, no schema). There
is no new domain to research. The research is a codebase-grounded
inventory of (a) the files to archive + their staleness evidence, and
(b) the sources backing the STATE.md capability backfill. This file
records the inventory for the v1.27 record; the active authoring used
these sources directly.
---
## 2. Nova Consumer Deploy Model
## 1. Files to archive (staleness inventory)
### 2.1 The reusable `deploy.yml@v1.25` workflow
### 1.1 Pre-execution artifacts (v1.26 — shipped, decisions folded)
The platform's `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` is a `workflow_call`
a reusable workflow that a consumer repo invokes via
`uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.25`. Inputs: `contract`
(default `.nova/contract.yml`), `mode` (default `full`; enum
`full|plan-only|check-only|decommission`), `environment` (override).
The workflow checks out the consumer repo + the platform repo, runs
`scripts/run_platform.sh`, and records the apply decision +
attestation in the Decision Ledger. Secrets: `NOVA_AWS_*`
(account + access key + secret) + `NOVA_LAMBDA_URL` (error reporting).
| File | Lines | Staleness evidence | Decisions folded into |
|---|---|---|---|
| `CLARIFY.md` | 225 | v1.26 milestone shipped (`v1.25.5`); decisions D-200..D-213 | `PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions |
| `GRILL.md` | 225 | v1.26 grill verdict PROCEED 0.84; binding revisions applied | `PLAN.md` revisions (G-Q4 REQ-322→P2 W0; G-Q6 enforcement deferred; G-Q9 key-split future) |
| `IDEATE.md` | 193 | all 7 accepted ideas → REQ-315..322 (shipped) | `REQUIREMENTS.md` v1.26 traceability |
| `RESEARCH.md` | 250 | v1.26 domain research (blockchain, deploy, modules, metrics) | `ARCHITECTURE.md` §12.8; shipped REQs |
The pilot consumer (`nova-blockchain-exchange`) invokes this workflow
with `mode: full` for `dev` (D-209). The `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`
mirror is byte-identical (the platform's deploy workflow is
forge-agnostic — Gitea + GitHub).
All four are pre-execution artifacts for a shipped milestone. The next
P0 writes fresh versions. Per D-219 (user-confirmed) + D-222: archive
all four with `-v1.26` suffixes.
### 2.2 `run_platform.sh --apply` path (confirmed)
### 1.2 Phase verifications + review (v1.26 — shipped, PASS)
`scripts/run_platform.sh:431-455` — the `--apply` (or `mode: full`)
path runs `terraform apply -auto-approve` after the HITL gate
(`:438`). For `dev` (autonomous, no HITL gate), the apply proceeds
directly. The apply records the env via `core/env_transition.py record`
(`:450`). The full pipeline (no `--apply` flag) continues to Step 7
(confidence signal) + Step 8 (outbox write).

**Gap (noted in RESEARCH §4):** the `--apply` path exits before the
outbox write (Step 8). The pilot runs the full pipeline (not `--apply`
alone), so the outbox write happens. The `run.completed` event lands in
the JSONL Decision Ledger (not the DynamoDB outbox) — this is by design
(the outbox is the platform-run evidence stream; the Decision Ledger is
the cold store for metrics).

`name`, `environment`, `infrastructure`. The `infrastructure` block is
`minProperties: 1` with `patternProperties` accepting any module name
key. Multi-module manifest is supported: one contract can declare

## 3. Platform Module Readiness (the critical finding)
## 2. Files to keep active (no-edit or fix-only)
### 3.1 The adapter is stateless (v1.11 rewrite)
### 2.1 No-edit (live code paths or durable)
`adapters/terraform/adapter.py:1-11` — the adapter is a "STATELESS
ASSEMBLER" that owns no module content. There is **no `TYPE_MAP`**,
`INPUT_MAP`, or `OUTPUT_MAP` (deleted in the v1.11 stateless rewrite;
`modules/STANDARDS.md:212-214` confirms). A new stack type requires a
new L1 module (`modules/l1/<name>/` with `interface.json` +
`terraform/main.tf` + `README.md` + `instance.json`) + a
`modules/registry.json` entry — not an adapter change.
| File | Why keep active |
|---|---|
| `CHECKPOINT.json` | Authoritative resume state — never archive |
| `config.json` | Operational config — never archive |
| `REGRESSION_REPORT.json` | Written by `core/regression_verify.py:705`; read by `core/metrics/collector.py:27` + `trust_snapshot.py:21` + metrics views (D-224: regenerates on next `run_regression.sh`) |
| `REGRESSION_REPORT.md` | Written by `core/regression_verify.py:704`; read by `scripts/run_regression.sh` (D-224) |
| `PERSONAS.md` | Regenerated at each milestone P0 by the lead-developer; not stale until then |
| `IAM_POLICY.md` | Live baseline, test-enforced (`tests/test_iam_policy_baseline.py`); D-207 future key-split pending (D-223) |
| `PLAN.md` | Active phase plan; reset to next milestone at next P0 |
| `ARCHITECTURE.md` | Durable target architecture (§1–§12 + §12.7 + §12.8 + §12.9) |
| `NORTH_STAR.md` | PO strategy; loaded every ci-run via `config.strategic_direction_file` |
| `nova-blockchain-exchange/PROJECT.md` | Consumer project charter; D-200..D-205 load-bearing |
| `nova-blockchain-exchange/REQUIREMENTS.md` | REQ-310..322 spec intent (shipped but spec stays for reference) |
| `nova-blockchain-exchange/README.md` | Consumer onboarding guide; still accurate (deploy workflow, secrets, contract shape, verification) |
### 3.2 ECS — ready
### 2.2 Fix-only (corrections to stale-but-kept files)
`modules/l1/ecs-service/terraform/main.tf:1,11`
`aws_ecs_task_definition` + `aws_ecs_service`. `interface.json:5-6`
`type: aws:ecs:task_definition`. `registry.json:29-37` — registered.
Tests: `test_adapter.py:164-185,257-360`, `test_contract_resolver.py:61-92`.
The `microservice` L2 (`modules/l2/microservice/composition.json`)
references 6 L1 children (ecs-cluster, ecr, iam-role, alb, ecs-service,
kms-key) — the ECS pattern is fully wired end-to-end.
### 3.3 S3 — ready
`modules/l1/s3/terraform/main.tf:1``aws_s3_bucket` (+ versioning +
SSE). `interface.json:5-6``type: aws:s3:bucket`. `registry.json:2-10`
— registered. Tests: `test_adapter.py:56-110,241-257`,
`test_contract_resolver.py:36-51,92-130`.
### 3.4 DynamoDB — GAP (REQ-322)
**No `modules/l1/dynamodb/` directory, no `registry.json` key, no
`interface.json`, no `terraform/`, no tests.** The blockchain exchange's
ledger table needs this primitive. REQ-322 authors it: `interface.json`
(stack type `aws:dynamodb:table`), `terraform/main.tf`
(`aws_dynamodb_table` with PK + optional SK, `PAY_PER_REQUEST` default,
encryption + PITR enabled per v1.8 NFR defaults), `README.md`,
`instance.json`, + `registry.json` entry. The adapter needs no change
(stateless); the contract's `infrastructure.dynamodb` block references
this primitive. This is the single platform-side module build-out for
the milestone.
### 3.5 Stale doc (not a blocker)
`adapters/README.md:49-54` references the deleted `TYPE_MAP`/
`INPUT_MAP`/`OUTPUT_MAP` — contradicts `adapter.py:1-11` +
`modules/STANDARDS.md:212-214`. REQ-321 (docs) should fix this.
| File | Fix |
|---|---|
| `PROJECT.md` | v1.26 phase-status block (lines 424431): P3/P4/P5 "pending" → "complete" with shipped tags `v1.25.3/4/5`; add STATE.md pointer (D-225: P2 phase) |
| `ROADMAP.md` | v1.26 P3/P4/P5 sections (lines 238, 261, 272) "planned" → "complete" with shipped tags; v1.26 Overview line "active" → "complete"; add STATE.md to P5 ship-update list (D-225: P2 phase) |
| `archive/README.md` | Add the 11 new archived files to the contents tables (P2 phase) |

## 4. Metric Pipeline Grounding (Post-Pilot targets)
## 3. STATE.md capability backfill sources
### 4.1 AI Decision Accuracy — outcome backfill (REQ-317)
The STATE.md backfill (36 capabilities across 10 domains) was sourced
from:
`core/metrics/decision_ledger.py:210-211` documents the event chain:
`confidence.computed → ai.decision.made → attestation.recorded →
run.completed/failed`. `collector.py:262` inserts `fact_decision.outcome`
as `"pending"`**there is no outcome-backfill step** wiring
`run.completed`/`run.failed` back into `fact_decision.outcome`. The AI
Decision Accuracy metric (`trust_snapshot.py:70-85`, `_get_ai_decision_accuracy`)
reads `decisions WHERE outcome='succeeded' ÷ total` — so it reads 0%
today (all pending). REQ-317 adds `core/metrics/outcome_backfill.py`
that reads run-manifest events and updates `fact_decision.outcome` +
`fact_decision.backfilled_at`. The PCR schema is unchanged (D-211).
### 4.2 Human Escalation Frequency — `reason='confidence'` tag (REQ-318)
`core/confidence_signal.py:184` — a `block` band sets
`human_override=True` in the `ai.decision.made` event.
`run_platform.sh:636` fails the pipeline on `block`. The Human
Escalation Frequency metric (`docs/metrics/human_escalation_frequency.md:11-12`)
is defined as `count(runs WHERE hitl_block=1 AND reason='confidence') ÷
total runs`. The `reason='confidence'` discriminator is **not currently
stored** — `hitl_block` is a boolean from the manifest. REQ-318 adds
`escalation_reason: 'confidence'` to the `ai.decision.made` event when
`band == 'block'` + persists it into `fact_run` via the collector.
### 4.3 Touchless Resolution Rate — denominator activates post-pilot
`docs/metrics/touchless_resolution_rate.md:12-15` — defined as a SQL
query over `fact_run` (`runs WHERE hitl_block=0 ÷ total runs`). The data
lands in `fact_run.hitl_block` via `collector.py:216-227`. No dedicated
emitter computes the ratio — it's a downstream query. The denominator
is 0 today (no consumer runs). The pilot run activates the denominator.

## 5. kyverno-json Policy Extensibility
## 4. Persona assessment
`adapters/kyverno-json/kyverno_json_engine.py:74-80` — the engine is
**policy-dir agnostic**: it loads whatever subdir the caller passes.
Existing subdirs: `contract/`, `stack-ir/`, `plan-json/`, `meta/`,
`regression/`. Adding a new subdir (e.g. `pilot-readiness/`,
`settlement-finality/`) requires: (1) `mkdir
adapters/kyverno-json/policies/<name>/`, (2) drop `ValidatingPolicy`
YAML/JSON files, (3) wire a caller. No engine code change needed.
Test pattern: one test file per subdir (`tests/test_<name>_policies.py`).
v1.27 is a docs/chore milestone. The active roster:
The pilot adds two new policy subdirs: `pilot-readiness/`
(REQ-320, no-placeholder-account) + `settlement-finality/` (REQ-315,
all-matches-committed). Both follow the established pattern.
- **lead-developer** (active): owns the milestone narrative (STATE.md
authoring, PROJECT/ROADMAP fixes, archive README, PLAN/NORTH_STAR
wiring, this RESEARCH, CLARIFY, PLAN, final review + audit). Territory:
`.ciagent/`, `docs/`.
- **backend-engineer** (active, limited): no code changes in v1.27.
Consulted on the `core/confidence_signal.py` LSP diagnostic (pre-
existing, not touched by v1.27). No territory writes.
- **data-engineer** (inactive): no schema/migration/ORM changes.
- **policy-engineer** (inactive): no policy authoring.
- **frontend-engineer** (inactive): no UI.
- **blockchain-engineer** (inactive): no chain code.
Territory enforcement: warn. The milestone is `.ciagent/`-only; the
lead-developer owns all writes.

## 6. Env-JSON Wiring Reconciliation (REQ-319)
`core/environments/dev.json:4``account_id: "000000000000"` (placeholder).
`core/environment_check.py:48-53` warns (non-fatal) when account_id is
placeholder + env != dev. `adapters/terraform/adapter.py:116-117`
computes the state bucket as `nova-tfstate-<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>-us-east-1`
from the `AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` env var, **not** from the env JSON's
`state_backend.bucket`. This is the wiring gap: the env JSON's
`state_backend` field is currently unused by the live apply path.
REQ-319 makes the adapter read `env.state_backend.bucket` when present
(falling back to the computed name for backwards compat) + updates
`dev.json` to the real account `581513795199` + real bucket
`nova-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1`.

## 7. Risk Analysis
## 5. Risk analysis
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| `NOVA_AWS_*` key lacks a needed IAM permission mid-pilot | Low (bootstrap succeeded → root-equivalent) | High (blocks apply) | D-207; the key has root-equivalent perms (empirically confirmed). |
| DynamoDB primitive takes longer than expected (new module) | Medium | Medium | REQ-322 is the single platform-side build-out; the `s3`/`rds` primitives are the template — straightforward. |
| Homegrown chain has a correctness bug (hash chain breaks) | Low | High | REQ-310 tests cover chain integrity, hash determinism, genesis, append/verify. |
| `deploy.yml@v1.25` ref doesn't resolve (floating tag) | Low | High | The platform's `release.yml` creates + force-moves the `v1.25` + `v1` floating tags on merge to main. The pilot contract uses `@v1.25`. |
| Settlement-finality policy false-negatives (blocks a valid promotion) | Medium | Medium | REQ-315 tests cover passing + failing fixtures; the policy is skip-when-kj-absent (graceful). |
| D-083 deferral challenged (audit ledger not tamper-evident) | Low | Low | D-204; the SQLite hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox is the pilot's audit record. Tamper-evidence is a future milestone. |
| Archive move breaks a relative path reference in an active file | Low | Medium | `grep` for the archived filenames across `.ciagent/` + `docs/` before commit; fix any dangling references in P2 |
| STATE.md capability row is inaccurate (wrong shipped tag / wrong file path) | Medium | Low | The backfill sources are the authoritative registries (regression_verify.py, registry.json, CHECKPOINT.json, git log); citations are direct |
| PROJECT.md phase-status fix conflicts with a future v1.26-era commit | Low | Low | v1.26 is shipped (main has the milestone merge); no v1.26-era commits will arrive |
| REGRESSION_REPORT stale state is mistaken for v1.27 scope | Low | Low | D-224 records the decision; STATE.md Domain 7 notes the current CAP range |
---
## 8. Persona Assessment
## 6. Verdict
See `PERSONAS.md` (next section, produced by the lead-developer at the
end of RESEARCH). The active roster: backend-engineer (blockchain core
+ settlement + outcome backfill), data-engineer (DynamoDB primitive +
metrics cold store), policy-engineer (kyverno-json policies), +
blockchain-engineer (custom, phase-specific — chain consensus, order
matching, settlement finality). frontend-engineer is deactivated (no
UI in the pilot).
v1.27 is feasible, scoped, and the sources are grounded. No new domain,
no new code, no schema breaks. The archive moves are lossless (git
history + archive directory both preserve bytes). The STATE.md
backfill is sourced from authoritative registries. Proceed to PLAN.

## How to use this file (PO)
- Before writing a new REQ: search this file for the capability you
intend to spec. If it exists, extend it; do not re-spec it under a new
REQ-NNN.
- Respect the **Invariants** below — they are load-bearing and
cross-cutting. A new REQ that violates an invariant requires a
`CLARIFY` decision recorded in PROJECT.md.
- Anchor each new REQ to a **Domain**; new domains require a PO
decision recorded in CLARIFY.
- When a capability is deprecated (replaced, removed, or
re-architecture), append a `Deprecated` row marking the milestone +
replacement; do not delete the original entry.
## Invariants (PO-owned — do not violate in new REQs)
> Distilled from `PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions D-034..D-072 +
> W1..BA + Q1.3. Cite the decision ID when an REQ touches one.
- **INV-1 (Contract surface):** The only PDLC→Nova boundary is
`schemas/contract.schema.json` + `schemas/submission-readiness.schema.json`
(D-133). All consumer intent enters through one of these. Nova never
reaches into upstream PDLC.
- **INV-2 (Confidence inputs):** Six canonical inputs — policy (0.30),
validation (0.25), freshness (0.10), source (0.15), history (0.10),
nfrs (0.10). Weights frozen for v1 (D-040). `critical` severity =
hard-block via `PENALTY["critical"]: None` (defense-in-depth behind the
declarative `block-on-any-critical` meta-policy).
- **INV-3 (HITL gates):** dev = autonomous (≥0.50); qa = HITL (≥0.75);
prod = HITL (≥0.90); dr = HITL (≥0.95). Approver identity = Gitea
`gitea.actor` of the `workflow_dispatch` (D-042). Separation-of-duties
on prod reads `approver_qa` from the DynamoDB outbox.
- **INV-4 (Engine is swappable):** The policy engine is behind the
`PolicyEngine` protocol (`core/policy_engine.py`, v1.25). Confidence
signal + pipeline import only the protocol, never a concrete engine.
`kyverno-json` is the v1.25 default; `OPA` (or other) implements the
same 3-method protocol to replace it.
- **INV-5 (Adapter is stateless):** `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` owns
no module content — no `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP`/`OUTPUT_MAP` (v1.11
rewrite). A new stack type requires a new L1 module
(`modules/l1/<name>/`) + `registry.json` entry, not an adapter change.
- **INV-6 (Audit stream is immutable):** Outbox writes via SQLite
hash-chain today (D-083 deferred). S3 Object Lock / JWS tamper-
*resistant* ledger is a future milestone. Current stream is tamper-
*evident* (any tampering breaks the chain).
- **INV-7 (PCR schema is the moat):** `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`
shape is frozen across adapter swaps (v1.25 hard constraint). The
`engine` enum already includes `"kyverno"` + `"opa"`; new engines add
no enum value.
- **INV-8 (Long-lived creds forbidden):** §12.5. The D-039/D-047 per-run-
rotated-key waiver satisfies the *intent* (no *persistently* long-lived
key). Real OIDC federation is blocked on `go-gitea/gitea#36988`.
- **INV-9 (Two consumer surfaces, one platform):** L3A (developer) +
L3B (citizen dev) converge on the same contract schema, the same
policy envelope, and the same evidence stream.
- **INV-10 (Nova is downstream of PDLC):** Nova governs infra + delivery
only. Product backlog, code authorship, IDE workflows, application
business logic are upstream. Integration only via the validated
contract boundary (INV-1).
- **INV-11 (Pilot scope, v1.26):** Equities only (D-200). Single-
validator PoA (D-201). D-083 (Object Lock/JWS) stays deferred. Hot
path deferred (D-126). Multi-cloud deferred. Multi-validator BFT
deferred. The pilot runs `mode: full` for `dev` only (D-209); qa/prod/dr
stay placeholder (D-208, blocked by the pilot-readiness policy).

## Update discipline
This file is updated **once per milestone, at the P-final milestone-ship
wave** (Wave 3 "milestone ship" in `PLAN.md`), alongside
`ROADMAP.md`/`NORTH_STAR.md`/`REQUIREMENTS.md`:
1. Append new capability entries for each shipped REQ (one row per
capability; group by domain).
2. Mark any deprecated capability with a `Deprecated` row citing the
milestone + replacement.
3. Bump the "Last milestone ship" header.
4. Do not rewrite existing entries (additive only).
Enforcement: convention (the P-final ship step names this file). A
drift-check gate (assert every REQ marked `complete` in
`REQUIREMENTS.md` traceability appears in STATE.md) is a future option
if the convention drifts.

## Why archive
The active milestone is v1.26 (Live Pilot Estate Activation). The
`.ciagent/` root held ~11,164 lines dominated by completed-milestone
narratives (v1.0v1.24). Per the run.md context-loading model, agents
read `.ciagent/` every `/ci-run`; the historical narrative was not
load-bearing for v1.26 execution and was relocated to keep the working
context lean.
The active milestone is v1.27 (PO State Catalog & Ciagent Compression).
The `.ciagent/` root was compressed twice:
1. **v1.26 P2 compression** (~11,164 lines → ~5,232): the
completed-milestone narratives (v1.0v1.24) were relocated. Per the
run.md context-loading model, agents read `.ciagent/` every
`/ci-run`; the historical narrative was not load-bearing for v1.26
execution and was relocated to keep the working context lean.
2. **v1.27 P1 compression** (~5,232 → ~3,882): the v1.26 phase
verifications + review + evidence + the dated CAPABILITY_INVENTORY
(superseded by STATE.md) + AUTONOMY_THESIS (folded into NORTH_STAR)
+ COST (predates v1.26 pilot) were relocated. The 4 pre-execution
files (CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH) were rewritten by v1.27 P0
and stay active through v1.27.

| `CAPABILITY_INVENTORY-v1.10.md` | 120 | `.ciagent/STATE.md` (v1.27) | The 2026-07-27 re-verification sweep (v1.1→v1.8 capabilities). Predates v1.26 pilot (CAP-025 absent; blockchain capabilities absent). |
| `AUTONOMY_THESIS-v1.21.md` | 65 | `NORTH_STAR.md` Vision + Anti-Goals #2 | "Last refined: v1.21" — the autonomy-in-operations thesis, fully folded into NORTH_STAR.md. |
| `COST-v1.14.md` | 106 | (future cost milestone) | AWS cost report dated 2026-07-29, framed "v1.0 → v1.14". Predates v1.26 live pilot (ECS + ALB + DynamoDB + S3 costs not reflected). |
#### v1.26 phase verifications + review + evidence (4 files)
| File | Original (lines) | Phase(s) documented |
|---|---|---|
| `VERIFY-P03.md` | 39 | v1.26 P3 verification — PASS (shipped `v1.25.3`) |
| `VERIFY-P04.md` | 31 | v1.26 P4 verification — PASS (shipped `v1.25.4`) |
| `REVIEW-AUDIT-P05.md` | 218 | v1.26 P5 final review + audit — PROCEED (shipped `v1.25.5`; 0 P0 remain; audit CLEAN) |
| `P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE-v1.26.md` | 46 | v1.26 live apply evidence (`blkex-pilot-apply-v0.2`; confidence 0.800 pass; outcome backfilled; hash chain valid) |
#### Consumer subproject archive (1 file)
| File | Original (lines) | Phase(s) documented |
|---|---|---|
| `nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.md` | 57 | v1.26 consumer roadmap (P3/P4/P5 marked "planned" at archive time; v1.26 shipped `v1.25.5`). Phase narrative preserved in the platform `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` §v1.26. |
#### v1.26 pre-execution artifacts (in git history, not archived to disk)
The v1.26 pre-execution files (CLARIFY, GRILL, IDEATE, RESEARCH) were
overwritten by the v1.27 P0 pre-execution cycle. The v1.26-era content
is preserved in git history at the pre-v1.27-P0 commits (search the
log for `docs(P00):` commits on the `milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation`
line). The v1.27 P0 versions stay active through v1.27; they archive at
v1.28 P1 if v1.28 happens. Decisions D-200..D-213 (v1.26) are folded
into `PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions; D-214..D-225 (v1.27) live in
the active `CLARIFY.md`.
