feat(P39): refresh design docs + parameterize adapter (P1-1)

---ci---
project: acdl
phase: 39
milestone: v1.9
status: execute
---/ci---

Phase 39 — design-doc-refresh-and-p1-1-parameterization:

Design docs (REQ-100, REQ-101):
- hitl_matrix_design.md: 'dev-only spike'/'v1.2 wires the gates' framing
  replaced with v1.9 wired-gates reality; 8-concern matrix marked
  implemented (offline-testable subset + signed evidence artifacts,
  D-084); v1.9 wiring section cross-references hitl_gates.py +
  attestation_matrix.py; approver_dr noted.
- audit_ledger_design.md: outbox marked shipped+production since v1.8;
  S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints clearly
  labeled 'Deferred to a future milestone (D-083)'; RPO/RTO table updated;
  approver fields note v1.9 hitl_gates.attest.

P1-1 adapter parameterization (REQ-102, D-085):
- ecs-service interface.json: desired_count (default 1), launch_type
  (FARGATE), family (app) inputs added.
- alb interface.json: load_balancer_type (application), target_type (ip).
- adapter.py: hardcoded defaults replaced with inputs.get(<name>, <default>);
  hardcoded 'acdl-microservice-rt'/'acdl-microservice-igw' Name tags
  derive from the VPC name input.
- contract_resolver.py: child_input_map routes wires to the sub-resource
  that declares the input (desired_count → aws:ecs:service, family →
  aws:ecs:task_definition, target_type → targetgroup, etc.).
- microservice composition.json: wires added for the new inputs.

Tests: +21 (test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py, test_design_docs_current.py).
371 passed; run_ci.sh green; run_platform.sh --check-only green; v1.1 S3
regression preserved.

**Offline-testable concerns** (run for real, no operator input):
- Contract NFRs (the platform's own contract validator).
- Schema validity (jsonschema).
- Policy pass (Checkov/Wiz/Kyverno `PolicyCheckResult` records).
**Operator-supplied concerns** (require an uploaded signed evidence
artifact, validated for freshness + schema per D-084):
- Functional correctness (e2e suite report).
- Performance baseline (k6 / Gatling / Locust load test report).
- Security posture (Trivy / Snyk / contract-declared scan + Security
on-call signature).
- Operational readiness (runbook published, dashboard exists, on-call
rotation assigned, alerts configured).
- Incident response (Sev-1 runbook tabletop or live drill completed).
- Capacity / cost (FinOps forecast for next 30d within budget envelope).
- Resilience (DR drill, chaos engineering report, backup verified).
- dr-region deploy (most recent prod-bound dr drill as canary evidence).

## Spike scope note
v1.9 implements `route_halt_artifact` as a real SNS publish (topic
`acdl-sod-halt`, ARN from `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN`) with an outbox-event
fallback when the topic ARN is unset (REQ-107). The attestation gate
itself is `core/hitl_gates.py` (`attest(contract_id, env, approver,
evidence)`), which records the approver to the outbox, runs the SoD
check on prod, invokes the attestation matrix, and returns `(ok, reason)`.
The spike is dev-only (REQ-27 contract has `environment: dev`), so HITL
is not exercised. Phase 07 authors the design; Phase 10's
`verify_phase10.sh` does not assert HITL behavior. v1.2 wires the gates
against this design.
## v1.9 wiring
v1.9 (Phase 41 + Phase 42) wires the gates end-to-end:
- **Phase 41** ships the per-environment CI job structure: one job per
environment (dev/qa/prod/dr), each pointing at its respective contract
(or the same contract + the `environment` workflow_call input). The
qa/prod/dr caller workflows use `workflow_dispatch` with the approval
inputs above; dev is autonomous (no gate). Promotion = running the
matching job; no `environment:` field editing (D-082).
- **Phase 42** implements `core/hitl_gates.py` (the attestation gate),
`core/attestation_matrix.py` (the 8-concern matrix), and the real
`route_halt_artifact` (SNS + outbox fallback). `scripts/run_platform.sh`
calls `hitl_gates.attest` before apply for qa/prod/dr (dev skips).
