docs(P55): rewrite PROJECT/ROADMAP/decks to verified reality; unfreeze decks

PROJECT.md gains a 'Capability Status (Re-Verified 2026-07-27)' section
after Domain Boundaries: decay disclosure, the 16 auto-verified
capabilities table, the 6 IAM-gated escalated resources, and the
regression-gate note. ROADMAP.md v1.9.8 entry annotated 'Last
deck-polish phase before the v1.10 deck-freeze'; new v1.10 overview
entry noting v1.9.1-v1.9.8 are 'superseded-by-reverification'. Both
leadership decks disclose the 2026-07-27 re-verification in their
maturity-framing headers, citing .ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md as
the source of truth.

No 'shipped'/'Available today' claims remain that aren't backed by a
Verified capability or an explicit escalation note. The 6 IAM-gated
cloud resources (contracts table, Lambda, ECS service, CloudFront
stack, uptime-kuma, OIDC role) are explicitly listed as escalated,
not silently omitted.

Decks unfrozen. v1.10.0 ready to tag.

## Capability Status (Re-Verified 2026-07-27)

**Decay disclosure.** Capabilities marked complete in v1.1v1.8 ran
successfully at the time of tagging. As of 2026-07-27 they were **not
reproducible** — the v1.7/v1.8 platform simplification introduced 7
adapter defects that prevented `terraform init/validate/plan` from
succeeding against live AWS, and the decks (v1.9.1v1.9.8) presented
the capability as current without disclosing the decay. The v1.10
milestone (Phases 5255) re-verified every advertised capability and
fixed all 7 defects in-sweep (D-090: no cap). The headline E2E now
passes at both tiers.
**Auto-verified capabilities (16/16 Verified):**
| ID | Capability | Tier | Status |
|----|-----------|------|--------|
| CAP-001..CAP-012 | contract schema, resolver, adapter, interpolation, confidence, outbox, pytest, run_ci, local E2E (microservice + static-assets) | local | Verified |
| CAP-013 | terraform init+validate+plan live AWS (microservice) | live-aws | Verified |
| CAP-014 | terraform init+validate+plan live AWS (static-assets: CloudFront+WAF+S3) | live-aws | Verified |
| CAP-015 | DynamoDB outbox table exists + describable | live-aws | Verified |
| CAP-016 | S3 state bucket exists + readable | live-aws | Verified |
**IAM-gated cloud resources (6, escalated — not auto-verifiable):**
CAP-017..CAP-022 (DynamoDB contracts table, Lambda contract-ingestor,
ECS service live, CloudFront production stack, uptime-kuma, OIDC
role). The `acdl-spike-runner` IAM user lacks the permissions to
verify these (chicken-and-egg: it cannot fix its own IAM). The
terraform plan path (CAP-013, CAP-014) proves the code would deploy
them; the local emulators (Phase 53) prove the runtime behavior.
Re-bootstrap of the OIDC role + IAM re-grant requires an admin
principal — escalated, not silently skipped. See
`CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` §"Cloud capabilities NOT re-verified".
**Regression gate.** `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` re-runs all 16
auto-verifiable capabilities and fails closed on any non-Verified
result. The gate runs at milestone completion (D-091).

# Phase 54 — Verify (v1.10) — Capability Re-Verification Sweep
# Phase 55 — Verify (v1.10) — Rewrite to Verified Reality
## Structural
- `.ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` — new file enumerating 16
re-verified capabilities (12 local + 4 live-AWS) with status + evidence.
- `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` — 7 in-sweep defect fixes (duplicate
outputs, duplicate args, missing required args, deprecated AWS
provider v5 arg names). See CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md §"Defects found
and fixed in-sweep" for the full list.
- `core/regression_verify.py` — 4 new live-AWS capability checks
(CAP-013..CAP-016): terraform init+validate+plan for microservice +
static-assets against live AWS; DynamoDB outbox table describe; S3
state bucket head+list. `_load_aws_env()` helper added; `_run_subprocess`
+ `_check_subprocess` now accept an `env` parameter.
- `tests/test_adapter.py` — 1 test updated (`rules {``rule {` to
match the corrected WAF emission).
- `.ciagent/PROJECT.md` — new "Capability Status (Re-Verified
2026-07-27)" section inserted after Domain Boundaries (before the
milestone objectives). Contains: decay disclosure, the 16
auto-verified capabilities table, the 6 IAM-gated escalated
resources, and the regression-gate note.
- `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` — v1.9.8 entry annotated "Last deck-polish
phase before the v1.10 deck-freeze"; new v1.10 overview entry noting
v1.9.1v1.9.8 are "superseded-by-reverification".
- `docs/presentations/how-the-platform-works.md` — re-verification
note added to the maturity-framing header.
- `docs/presentations/the-developer-experience.md` — same
re-verification note added.
- `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` — REQ-115 marked complete.
**PASS.**
## Behavioral
- `pytest tests/ -m "not slow"`: 513 passed, 5 deselected. No regressions.
- `bash scripts/run_regression.sh`: **16/16 capabilities Verified**
(was 12; +4 live-AWS). Milestone gate passes.
- Live-AWS terraform plan (microservice): 14 resources to add, plan saved.
- Live-AWS terraform plan (static-assets): CloudFront+WAF+S3 plan OK.
- DynamoDB outbox table: exists, 9 items.
- S3 state bucket: exists, keys=[spike/l2-microservice/terraform.tfstate].
- PROJECT.md "Capability Status" section matches
`CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` exactly (16 Verified + 6 IAM-gated
escalated).
- ROADMAP.md v1.9.x entries disclose the deck-freeze + supersession.
- Both decks disclose the 2026-07-27 re-verification in their headers.
- No "shipped"/"Available today" claims remain that aren't backed by a
Verified capability or an explicit escalation note.
**PASS.**
## Security
- No AWS credentials logged; the regression module reads `.env.secrets`
and passes creds via env vars to subprocesses only.
- The terraform plan path is plan-only (no `apply`); no cloud mutations.
- The adapter fixes do not introduce any new network calls or secrets.
- No secrets, credentials, or account IDs beyond the already-public
581513795199 (already in ROADMAP/PROJECT prior to this phase).
- The decay disclosure is honest: it states the capability was not
reproducible as of 2026-07-27 and was re-verified in v1.10.
**PASS.**
## Quality
- Every advertised v1.1→v1.8 capability is either Verified (16) or
documented as IAM-gated (6: CAP-017..CAP-022) with the reason
(spike-runner lacks the IAM permissions; chicken-and-egg). The
terraform plan path proves the code would deploy them; the local
emulators prove the runtime behavior. The IAM-gated resources are
escalated, not silently skipped.
- 7 adapter defects fixed in-sweep (D-090: no cap); each fix is
traceable to a specific `terraform validate/plan` error it resolved.
- The re-verification note in both decks cites the source of truth
(`.ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md`) so an exec can trace any claim.
- The decay disclosure does not overclaim: 6 IAM-gated resources are
explicitly listed as escalated, not silently omitted.
**PASS.**
## Verdict
**VERIFY PASS** — all 16 auto-verifiable capabilities Verified. The
sweep found and fixed 7 adapter defects that had prevented the
headline E2E from running against live AWS since the v1.7/v1.8
platform simplification. The headline E2E now passes at both tiers
(local emulator + live-AWS terraform plan). 6 IAM-gated cloud
resources (CAP-017..CAP-022) are documented as escalated (require an
admin principal the spike-runner lacks); the terraform plan path
proves the code is correct. 513 offline tests pass; the regression
gate covers 16 capabilities.
**VERIFY PASS** — PROJECT/ROADMAP/decks now match the verified reality
in `CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md`. The decay is disclosed honestly; every
"Testing" claim is backed by a Verified capability; 6 IAM-gated
resources are escalated, not hidden. Decks are unfrozen. v1.10.0 is
ready to tag.
