docs(P00): personas + plan — v1.27 (lead-developer only, 3 phases)

PERSONAS: lead-developer active (docs/chore milestone); 5 others
inactive. Territory: .ciagent/, docs/.

PLAN: 3 phases (P1 author-archive, P2 fix-stale-wire, P3 final-review-ship).
Tags on v1.26.x; v1.26.3 = milestone release.

Archive-list correction (D-219 refinement): the 4 pre-execution files
(CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH) were rewritten in P0 with v1.27
content — the v1.26-era content lives in git history. The v1.27 P0
versions stay active through v1.27 (current pre-execution record);
they archive at v1.28 P1 if v1.28 happens. Final archive list: 7
platform files (CAPABILITY_INVENTORY, REVIEW-AUDIT-P05, VERIFY-P03,
VERIFY-P04, P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE, AUTONOMY_THESIS, COST) + 1
consumer file (nova-blockchain-exchange/ROADMAP) = 8 files.

-    v1.26 is the Live Pilot Estate Activation milestone — a feat
-    milestone. Four active personas: lead-developer (coordination +
-    docs + ARCHITECTURE.md §12.8), backend-engineer (confidence_signal.py
-    escalation reason + outcome_backfill.py + run_platform.sh wiring +
-    env-JSON state_backend reconciliation), data-engineer (DynamoDB L1
-    primitive + metrics cold store outcome backfill), policy-engineer
-    (kyverno-json pilot-readiness + settlement-finality policies), +
-    blockchain-engineer (custom, phase-specific — chain core + order
-    engine + settlement). frontend-engineer is deactivated (no UI).
-    Territory enforcement: warn (the pilot is cross-territory by
-    nature — the consumer repo + the platform repo share the milestone).
+    v1.27 is an NFR milestone (PO State Catalog & Ciagent Compression) —
+    a docs/chore milestone. Single active persona: lead-developer owns
+    the milestone narrative (STATE.md authoring, PROJECT/ROADMAP fixes,
+    archive moves, PLAN/NORTH_STAR wiring, final review + audit). No
+    code, no schema, no policy authoring. The pre-existing
+    core/confidence_signal.py LSP diagnostic is out of scope (not
+    touched by v1.27). Territory enforcement: warn.

-## Active Roster (5)
+## Active Roster (1)
 
 ### 1. lead-developer (active)
 - **active:** true
 - **phase_specific:** false
-- **reason:** Coordinates task decomposition + resolves conflicts between
-  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).
-- **territory:** `.ciagent/`, `docs/METRICS.md`, `adapters/README.md`,
-  `modules/README.md`, `modules/STANDARDS.md`.
-- **constraints:** does not write Python/Terraform (delegates to
-  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.
+- **domain:** `.ciagent/` docs (STATE.md, PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md,
+  PLAN.md, NORTH_STAR.md, archive/README.md), consumer
+  `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/` (PROJECT.md pointer,
+  archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.md).
+- **frameworks:** markdown, JSON (CHECKPOINT.json, config.json).
+- **territory:** `.ciagent/`, `docs/`.
+- **constraints:** no code changes (NFR milestone, D-220); no schema
+  changes; archive moves are lossless (byte-identical relocation, git
+  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).
-- **domain:** core Python (confidence_signal.py, metrics/, adapter.py,
-  regression_verify.py, contract_resolver.py), run_platform.sh wiring.
-- **frameworks:** Python 3.12, pytest, boto3, SQLite, DynamoDB.
-- **territory:** `core/confidence_signal.py`, `core/metrics/`,
-  `adapters/terraform/adapter.py`, `core/regression_verify.py`,
-  `core/environments/`, `scripts/run_platform.sh`, `tests/test_adapter.py`,
-  `tests/test_confidence_signal.py`, `tests/test_outcome_backfill.py`,
-  `tests/test_regression_pilot.py`.
-- **constraints:** does not change `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`
-  (v1.25 moat, D-211); does not change `schemas/contract.schema.json`
-  (no schema breaks, D-213); does not author Terraform modules
-  (delegates to data-engineer for DynamoDB); does not author policies
-  (delegates to policy-engineer); does not author chain code (delegates
-  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`).
-- **frameworks:** Terraform, JSON, SQLite, DynamoDB, boto3.
-- **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).
