-- **Task 1.1** (data-engineer): `modules/l1/dynamodb/interface.json` —
-  stack type `aws:dynamodb:table`, inputs (table_name, region, pk, sk,
-  billing_mode), outputs (table_arn, table_name).
-- **Task 1.2** (data-engineer): `modules/l1/dynamodb/terraform/main.tf`
-  — `resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "this"` (PK + optional SK,
-  `PAY_PER_REQUEST` default, encryption + PITR enabled per v1.8 NFR).

+### 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`).
