Demonstrate production-grade zero-touch operations.** +Nova must run real customer estates with no human in the loop of normal +operations — autonomy as the default, not the demo. Stage-gate +attestation (QA for production, SRE for operational readiness) remains +human by design; operational escalations (AI confidence too low to +proceed) are the failure mode we drive toward zero. Everything else +collapses if autonomy isn't real. + +**2. Establish provable trust in AI decisions.** +Build the audit substrate — Decision Ledger, confidence scoring, circuit +breakers, blast-radius controls — that turns "autonomous" from a +marketing claim into a defensible one. Trust is the moat. Features can be +copied; an immutable, queryable decision history cannot. + +**3. Deliver compounding, quantifiable ROI for customers.** +Each quarter on Nova must reduce cloud spend, free engineering hours, and +avoid downtime measurably. If the CFO can't point to a number that +improves quarter-over-quarter, Nova fails its commercial test, regardless +of how clever the AI is. + +**4. Become the default substrate for agentic infrastructure consumption.** +AI agents are already becoming the largest consumers of cloud +infrastructure. Nova must be the platform through which those agents +declare, deploy, and verify infrastructure — not a vendor scrambling into +that market two quarters late. + +--- + +## Anti-Goals (5 — what Nova is fundamentally NOT) + +1. **Not a Terraform, Kubernetes, or hyperscaler competitor.** We + orchestrate them. Replacing them is the most expensive possible + distraction from the value we create. +2. **Not a general-purpose AI agent platform.** We are purpose-built for + infrastructure operations. Breadth here produces shallow tools; depth + here wins the category. +3. **Not a system that removes humans from accountability.** Only from + operations. Every AI decision lands in an immutable ledger. Every + stage-gate promotion (qa/prod/dr) requires a human attestation recorded + with approver identity, separation-of-duties check, and the 8-concern + evidence matrix. The absence of an operator is never the absence of a + record. +4. **Not for legacy, untagged, or freeform infrastructure.** Nova requires + Terraform-managed, policy-aligned, fully-tagged inputs. We optimize for + the disciplined 95%, not the chaotic 5%. +5. **Not sold to operators.** Nova is sold to leadership on outcomes — + cost, velocity, risk. Selling to operators inverts the incentive and + breaks the autonomy thesis. + +--- + +## Non-Goals (v1.17 milestone scope — deferred work, not permanent boundaries) + +> Anti-Goals are what Nova *fundamentally is not*. Non-Goals are what we +> *will not do this milestone* — deferred work, not permanent boundaries. +> Each Non-Goal cites the controlling decision ID. + +1. **Live AWS re-provisioning** (deferred — D-096). Metrics that require + live infrastructure ship as placeholder PowerBI views with documented + schemas. +2. **Onboarding auto-grant** (deferred — D-113/D-114/D-119).

No Kafka/Prometheus/ClickHouse/QLDB. Infracost adopted (runs offline on plan JSON). Drift detection deferred (D-096 + no scheduler). | P1–P3 use Nova-native tech; Infracost in P1; drift deferred. | +| D-121 | Decision Ledger = extend outbox_writer.py → SQLite append-only hash chain. | The direction's #1 priority is the Decision Ledger. Nova already has a hash-chained outbox (outbox_writer.py). Extend it to a SQLite append-only table with hash chain; add ai.decision.made + attestation.recorded events. Honors D-083 (no S3 Object Lock/JWS). | P1 extends outbox_writer; ledger is SQLite hash-chain. | +| D-122 | AI Planner framing = map Nova's real decision points. | The direction assumes an "AI Planner/Reasoner" (planner-v3.2). Nova's actual decision path is confidence_signal + HITL gate. Model ai.decision.made from confidence_signal (decision_id=run_id, chosen_action=band, confidence=score, alternatives=perInput, human_override=HITL block).

The mapping: + +| Direction's principle | Nova-native implementation (v1.17) | +|---|---| +| Events are the source of truth; dashboards are projections | Hybrid (D-125): existing file signals stay as files; collector reads them and emits normalized CloudEvents into `metrics/events.jsonl` + SQLite.

Outcome backfilled from apply.completed via decision_id → request_id correlation. Honors D-083 (no S3 Object Lock/JWS). | +| Cost governance: mandatory tags + Infracost pre-apply | Nova already enforces `nova:*` tags (nova_tagging.py, hard mode). Infracost added as plan post-processor (D-120). Post-apply CUR deferred (D-096). | +| Definition-of-success docs for every KPI | Per-KPI docs in `docs/metrics/` (D-127). | +| Replay-ability | SQLite store + JSONL event log are replayable by design. | + +### CloudEvents envelope (Nova-native) + +```json +{ + "specversion": "1.0", + "id": "", + "source": "nova.platform", + "type": "nova.run.completed", + "time": "", + "subject": "/", + "datacontenttype": "application/json", + "platform": { + "tenant_id": "acdl", + "run_id": "run-", + "contract_id": "", + "environment": "dev|qa|prod|dr", + "actor": {"type": "confidence-gate", "id": "confidence_signal"}, + "trace_id": "" + }, + "data": { + "duration_ms": 4800, + "stages": ["resolve", "adapt", "validate", "plan", "apply"], + "exit_code": 0, + "confidence": {"score": 0.94, "band": "pass", "perInput": {...}}, + "policy": {"passed": 12, "failed": 0, "skipped": 0}, + "hitl": {"gate": "dev", "result": "autonomous", "block": false}, + "cost_estimate_usd": -12.40, + "decision_id": "run-", + "outcome": "succeeded" + } +} +``` + +### Core event types (Nova-native minimum viable set) + +| Event type | Emitted by | Purpose | Grounding | +|---|---|---|---| +| `nova.run.started` | run_platform.sh | Measures demand; provisioning lead time start | new emitter (P1) | +| `nova.run.completed` | run_platform.sh | Run count, stage durations, exit, MTTR | new emitter (P1) | +| `nova.run.failed` | run_platform.sh | Failure count, MTTR numerator | new emitter (P1) | +| `nova.policy.evaluated` | checkov_adapter.py | Policy pass rate, compliance KPIs | grounded (pcr.json → P1 persists) | +| `nova.confidence.computed` | confidence_signal.py | Confidence distribution, decision accuracy | grounded (signal.json → P1 persists) | +| `nova.ai.decision.made` | outbox_writer.py (extended) | Decision Ledger entry | grounded (D-121, D-122) | +| `nova.attestation.recorded` | hitl_gates.py | Attestation Coverage, human-in-the-loop audit | grounded (D-132) | +| `nova.cost.estimated` | Infracost post-processor | Pre-apply cost estimate | new emitter (P1, Infracost) | +| `nova.capability.verified` | regression_verify.py | Capability health, regression gate | grounded (REGRESSION_REPORT.json) | +| `nova.test.completed` | pytest (junit XML) | Test count, pass rate | new (P1 adds --junitxml) | + +## 3.

BUT slide 7's +*Delivers* says "every AI decision captured" without ever telling the +audience what the "AI" is.

BUT (a) +AI-Agent Intent Share's placeholder is falsely claimed (G-Q1), and (b) +derived metrics (FTE Hours Saved, Platform ROI) are computed on zero +production runs yet shown on slide 12 without the zero-denominator caveat. +A "derived" metric from zero runs is technically not fabricated but is +misleading. +**Verdict: BIND.** (1) Resolve G-Q1; (2) slide 12 must annotate derived +metrics with "(computed on N internal runs; production-denominator activates +post-pilot)." **Confidence: 0.82.** + +### G-Q6 — 12–18mo target feasibility (0 consumers) +**Finding:** PO's answer ("simply to target") conflicts with NORTH_STAR:111 +("committed, not aspirational"). 3 "grounded (after P1)" targets (Touchless +Resolution, Human Escalation, AI Decision Accuracy) have scope "across +production estates" — but PROJECT.md:495 = 0 consumer adoption. The metric +IS computable on internal dev runs, but the target scope doesn't exist. +Marking "grounded" while the scope is absent is the overclaim the "no +fabrication" constraint exists to prevent. +**Verdict: BIND.** (1) Rewrite NORTH_STAR:111 → "Targets are committed +destinations; the grounding column records whether each is measurable this +milestone." (2) Reclassify the 3 targets to `partial — measurement pipeline +grounded on internal runs; production-estate scope activates post-pilot` +(the Cloud Spend Reduction precedent at NORTH_STAR:123). (3) Deck slide 5 +regroup as "Measurable today (internal runs)" vs "Activates post-pilot +(production estates)."

For a leadership audience that has seen 10+ milestone +decks, this risks losing the room by slide 4. BUT the "no-humans" thesis +is contentious; jumping to proof without the attestation model invites the +"removing humans from accountability" objection. The Vision act makes the +Proof credible. +**Verdict: PASS (marginal).** Defensible IF the Problem act is tight and +slide 3 front-loads the attestation clarification. **Confidence: 0.62.** + +### G-Q8 — x3 structure at deck level +**Finding:** Slide 1's 5-act preview is orienting (a table of contents), +not too much meta-structure. BUT it's also not a hook — it gives structure, +not stakes. A C-suite audience decides in the first 30 seconds. +**Verdict: BIND (minor).** Add one stake-establishing line to slide 1 +*Delivers* with a real number (18 verified, 0 consumers, honest deferral +list). **Confidence: 0.70.** + +### G-Q9 — Per-slide benefit callouts (substantive vs filler) +**Finding:** 4 of 17 closes are filler (slides 1, 4, 12, 15); 2 borderline +(8, A1). Worst offender: slide 12 (ROI) restates the *objective* ("ROI is +quantifiable") rather than giving the *number* or the *honest caveat*. +**Verdict: BIND.** Rewrite 4 filler closes. Slide 12's close must be: +"Benefit: you now know the ROI formula — (labor + cloud + avoided downtime) +÷ platform cost — and that it computes on internal runs today, with +production-denominator activating post-pilot." **Confidence: 0.78.** + +### G-Q10 — Deck length (17 slides) +**Finding:** 17 is at the upper bound but justifiable for 5 acts. The risk +is density, not length: slide 12 crams 6 metrics (Touchless, Human +Escalation, MTTR, Cost, FTE, ROI) into one slide — a wall of bullets. +**Verdict: BIND (minor).** Split slide 12 into "Zero-Touch Efficiency" +(Touchless, Human Escalation, MTTR) + "Cost & ROI" (Cost, FTE, ROI). Deck +→ 18 slides, each earning its place. **Confidence: 0.68.** + +### G-Q11 — "What's Deferred" slide (13) +**Finding:** The honesty strengthens the grounded claims BUT surfaces the +gap: Nova claims "no-humans in operations" while deferring the metrics +that would prove operations are healthy without humans (Live Infra Health, +SLA, Drift Auto-Reversal). A skeptical viewer notes the contradiction. +**Verdict: BIND.** Add preempt to slide 13: "These deferrals are about +*measurement infrastructure*, not about whether the platform runs without +humans — the platform runs autonomously today on internal runs; what's +deferred is the production-estate dashboard that would prove it at scale." +**Confidence: 0.75.** + +## Axis 3 — Deck plan: per-slide rigor + +### G-Q12 — Slide opening lines +**Finding:** The "This slide shows X" formula is orienting, not patronizing, +because each includes a stake-bearing clause. Consistent without being empty. +**Verdict: PASS.** **Confidence: 0.80.** + +### G-Q13 — Transitions (written vs hand-waved) +**Finding:** ~10 of 13 transitions are written (specific reference to prior +close). 3 are hand-waved (slides 8→9, 11→12, 13→14). Worst: the Act 3→4 +boundary (slide 8→9, How→Proof) — the most important transition in the deck +— is the weakest. +**Verdict: BIND.** Rewrite the 3 hand-waved transitions. The 8→9 Act +boundary must carry weight: "Having seen the gate model — autonomy in +operations, human in accountability — here is how Nova instruments itself +to prove that model at scale." **Confidence: 0.85.** + +### G-Q14 — Weakest slide (audience-loss point) +**Finding:** Slide 9 (Telemetry Architecture) is the audience-loss slide. +It's the 4th consecutive architecture slide (6,7,8,9), the most abstract +(CloudEvents, SQLite, PowerBI), its Benefit is about data plumbing not +business value, and it sits between the attestation matrix (slide 8, +emotionally resonant) and the Proof act (slide 10, the numbers) — between +the two things the audience came for. +**Verdict: BIND.** Compress slide 9 into slide 10 OR reframe its Benefit +from data plumbing to trust: "Benefit: you now know the proof you're about +to see isn't fabricated — every number traces to a file you can audit." +**Confidence: 0.78.** + +### G-Q15 — Proof act citation specificity +**Finding:** 5 of 6 Proof citations are specific (file paths + real numbers). +Gap: slide 12's derived metrics (FTE, ROI) cite "derived" without showing +the formula or the input count. +**Verdict: BIND (minor).** Show the ROI formula inline on slide 12 + the +N=0 production-runs caveat. **Confidence: 0.80.** + +### G-Q16 — Closing slide (15) — does the ask land? +**Finding:** THE ask is present but framed as insider language ("fund the +hot-path activation (post-D-096) + the tamper-evident ledger build-out +(D-083 lift)"). A leadership audience doesn't know what "hot-path +activation" means. The ask is a technical request, not a business decision +a leader can make in the room. +**Verdict: BIND.** Reframe slide 15's ask as a business decision: "The +ask: (1) approve a pilot estate to activate production-estate metrics +(unblocks D-096), and (2) approve the tamper-evident ledger build-out +(lifts D-083) — turning grounded claims into complete proof."

The "no fabrication" hard +constraint is self-violated in two places (AI-Agent Intent Share placeholder +claim, derived-metrics-without-caveat) before a single slide is rendered. + +The deck plan is story-competent but not story-excellent. 4 benefit +callouts are filler, 3 transitions are hand-waved (incl. the critical +Act 3→4 boundary), slide 9 is the audience-loss slide, and the closing +ask is insider language. + +**12 binding decisions, 2 escalations.** None require re-architecting the +plan; all are edits to NORTH_STAR (2 rows + 1 line, with commit trailer), +the deck slide plan (4 slide rewrites, 1 split, 3 transition rewrites), +and one placeholder-view addition. Estimate: 1–2 phases of rework, not a +milestone restart.

  • Consumer surfaces — technical dev or citizen dev; both produce a contract

  • Central pipeline — fixed stages, identical for every deployment: validate → resolve → security → plan → policy → confidence → evidence → apply

  • Module catalog + engine adapter — security-reviewed blocks; the adapter is the only engine-specific code (Terraform today)

How The Platform Works
-

A1 — Platform-Managed Environments

-

A consumer provides no AWS account, no VPC, no subnet, no state backend, no runner key. The platform owns the blast radius.

-

A named environment is a platform-owned bundle of:

-
    -
  • An AWS account (or a scoped partition of one)
    • -
  • A network (VPC + subnets)
    • -
  • A state backend (S3 + DynamoDB for state + locking)
    • -
  • An IAM role surfaced via ABAC, scoped to the consumer's identity and resource tags
    • -
-

The consumer selects an environment by name in their contract. The platform resolves it at run time. The consumer never sees raw credentials.

-

Friendly onboarding: the first run detects no environment and emits a guided prompt (not an opaque failure). Self-service: planned

A2 — Observability Built In

-

Monitoring is a platform default, not a per-team project.

-
    -
  • Uptime monitoring deployed automatically with every stack — separate state, feature flag to disable
    • -
  • Monitored endpoints passed from the deployment's own outputs — no manual endpoint registration
    • -
  • Alert channels: Microsoft Teams webhook, email, SMS, and GitHub issues
    • -
  • The uptime URL is published to the developer via a PR comment
    • -
  • Roadmap: deeper observability bootstrap (dashboards, runbooks, on-call bindings) Planned

-
How The Platform Works

A3 — Security by Construction

-

Security defaults that do not require a team to opt in. Checks run on every deployment, normalized to a single schema.

-
    -
  • Policy checks (Checkov, Wiz, Kyverno) — secrets, public ingress, IAM wildcards, required tagging — all run before infra is created
    • -
  • Encryption on every resource — at-rest on by default; per-stack CMKs with 90-day rotation, no shared keys across stacks
    • -
  • Deletion protection on by default — prevent_destroy on unless explicitly disabled via a documented flag
    • -
  • Safe decommission — a 2-step pipeline with two SRE attestation gates and a change-request validated against the CMDB

A5 — Testing vs. Planned (Full Inventory)

- -

22/22 Verified — the v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy against live AWS for every L1 + L2 module, then tore down to zero-cost (D-096). The v1.10 "6 deploy-unverified (IAM drift)" status is closed (CAP-013 fixed in P67).

- - - - - -
-

Testing (22/22 Verified — works internally, dev pilot-ready)

-
    -
  • Contract-driven deploys with a versioned reusable workflow
    • -
  • Module catalog (primitives + modules) with validated examples
    • -
  • Zero-trust OIDC + ABAC on GitHub Actions runners
    • -
  • Security + policy checks before infra creation (Checkov; Wiz + Kyverno ready)
    • -
  • Confidence signal (6 inputs, per-env thresholds) gating promotion
    • -
  • Hash-chained, tamper-evident evidence outbox (RPO = 0)
    • -
  • Encryption by default + per-stack customer-managed keys
    • -
  • Deletion protection by default + safe decommission with SRE gates
    • -
  • Uptime monitoring deployed automatically with every stack
    • -
  • Platform-managed environments + friendly onboarding
    • -
  • Engine-agnostic core (1 adapter: Terraform) + VCS-agnostic ingestion

  • Real OIDC federation on all platform runners
    • -
  • HITL wiring for qa / prod / dr environments
    • -
  • Full regulatory ledger: S3 Object Lock + JWS signatures + daily checkpoints
    • -
  • Compliance milestone: GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA extension points
    • -
  • Environment self-service provisioning
    • -
  • Dynamic module creation from a contract (agentic citizen-developer flow)

  • Pattern recognition compounds value over time

A7 — Operating Model & Cost

- -

Nova runs at zero cloud cost for day-to-day development. AWS spend was measured via Cost Explorer (COST.md, 2026-07-28):

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Total spend (8 days)$0.001883
Daily average$0.000235
Projected monthly~$0.007
Peak day2026-07-27 ($0.000867)
-
    -
  • S3 dominates (98.8%, terraform state bucket) — no compute ran because v1.0→v1.10 was plan-only for IAM-gated capabilities
    • -
  • Local emulators are the primary tier — the full pipeline runs in-process, no AWS credentials
    • -
  • Live-AWS verification is milestone-scoped, then torn down. The pipeline now defaults to plan-only on every PR; NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full overrides to apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12).
    • -
  • Cost drivers are spike-scoped: Terraform plan reads (free), S3 state storage (cents), DynamoDB outbox (cents). Any spike > $1/day is an anomaly.
    • -
-

Pre-mortem (PRE_MORTEM.md): the v1.10 decay incident (diff-scoped VERIFY missed 7 adapter defects) is the root pattern: a claim outruns the verification that backs it. Four forward failure modes + structural mitigations (regression-tested IAM baseline, mandatory teardown, verified-only deck claims, honest scope).

A8 — Verified by Construction

- -

Two architectural pillars make "Verified" a structural property, not a claim:

-
    -
  • The stateless adapter (918 → ~80 lines). The Terraform adapter was a 918-line monolith with 3 constant tables and 39 type-specific branches. It is now a ~80-line stateless assembler: it owns no module content — no resource shape, no nested HCL blocks, no defaults. Each L1 module ships a real terraform/ module dir owning its shape, nested blocks, and defaults. The adapter reads the registry and emits module "x" { source = ... } blocks. A new module is a new terraform dir, not a code change. (The v1.12 P67 fix closed a dedup defect for multi-resource L1s — ecs-service, alb; CAP-013 now Verified.)
    • -
  • Pipeline-driven lifecycle testing. A modules-lifecycle pipeline matrix-runs each L1 and L2 module's examples/{simple,complex}.yml contracts through apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. The "test" = the pipeline cell going green. Defaults to plan-only on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full overrides to the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). The regression gate (D-091) re-runs all 22 capabilities at milestone completion — 22/22 Verified as of v1.12.
    • -
-

The v1.10 lesson is the negative space: a 918-line adapter with type-specific branches decayed silently. The ~80-line stateless adapter + the milestone regression gate are the structural fix.

The headline E2E (contract → resolver → adapter → terraform init/validate/plan) passes against the live AWS account; the local emulating tier (Phase 53) runs the full E2E with no cloud credentials. **22/22 auto-verifiable capabilities Verified** (CAP-013 fixed in v1.12 P67 — the adapter's multi-resource L1 dedup defect is closed; CAP-017/018 probe bugs fixed). The v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy against live AWS and was then torn down to zero-cost (D-096). See `.ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` and `.ciagent/PRE_MORTEM.md`. - ---- - -## Slide 1 — Title - -# How The Platform Works - -### Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps - -**Security as a seamless enabler of fast deployments — not a bottleneck, not a "no" department.** - -> **Speaker notes:** Brief introduction — this deck explains *how* the platform works internally, not what the developer experience is (that's the companion deck). Set the frame: the platform is not a CI/CD tool — it's the organizational lever for shipping safely at the pace the business demands. - ---- - -## Slide 2 — Four frictions slow every team - -Most teams can write code; far fewer get the infrastructure right. Delivery scales with the **coordination surface around it**, not the engineering inside it. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph ROW1 [" "] - direction LR - A["Cognitive load\nauthoring infra correctly"] - B["Operational work\nmerged → running"] - end - subgraph ROW2 [" "] - direction LR - C["Red tape\ntickets, approvals, handoffs"] - D["Scalability\nthroughput without headcount"] - end - A ~~~ B - C ~~~ D - A ~~~ C - B ~~~ D -``` - -- **Cognitive load** — the long tail of services, inconsistent in security and observability. -- **Operational work** — manual promotion that scales with the system, not the change. -- **Red tape** — tickets and handoffs that scale with the organization. -- **Scalability** — throughput without linearly scaling platform engineers. - -> **Speaker notes:** Open with the cost of the status quo. Every team that stands up its own pipeline, its own Terraform, its own review checklist is paying a tax that doesn't differentiate the business. The platform absorbs all four frictions — that is the value proposition in one sentence. - ---- - -## Slide 3 — The platform at a glance - -One picture of the whole platform — the components, how they connect, and where the boundaries are. The rest of this deck zooms into each piece. - -```mermaid -flowchart TD - subgraph UP ["Consumer surfaces — upstream"] - direction LR - U1["Technical dev\napp code + contract"] - U2["Citizen dev\nintent → AI agent → contract"] - end - - subgraph ACDL ["Nova — infrastructure only"] - direction TB - CS["Contract schema\n(validate + fail-fast)"] - subgraph PIPE ["Central pipeline — fixed stages, every deployment"] - direction LR - P1["Validate"] --> P2["Resolve\ntarget stack"] --> P3["Security\nchecks"] --> P4["Infra plan"] --> P5["Policy\nchecks"] --> P6["Confidence\nsignal"] --> P7["Evidence\nevent"] --> P8["Infra apply"] - end - CAT["Module catalog\nprimitives + modules\n(security-reviewed)"] - ADAPT["Engine adapter\n(stateless → Terraform)"] - ENV["Platform-managed\nenvironments\naccount · VPC · state · IAM"] - HITL["HITL gates\nqa · prod · dr"] - EVID["Evidence stream\nhash-chained outbox\n(RPO = 0)"] - CS --> PIPE - CAT --> P2 - ADAPT --> P4 - ADAPT --> P8 - ENV --> P8 - P6 --> HITL - HITL --> P8 - P7 --> EVID - end - - subgraph DOWN ["Downstream"] - direction LR - D1["AWS resources\nrunning\n(tagged, encrypted)"] - D2["Consumer pipeline\ndeploys image"] - end - - U1 --> CS - U2 --> CS - P8 --> D1 - D1 --> D2 -``` - -- **Consumer surfaces** — technical dev or citizen dev; both produce a contract. Upstream is anything. -- **Contract schema** — the boundary between upstream and Nova; validated fail-fast. -- **Central pipeline** — fixed stages, identical for every deployment: validate → resolve → security → plan → policy → confidence → evidence → apply. -- **Module catalog** — security-reviewed primitives + modules the resolver expands against. -- **Engine adapter** — stateless; the only engine-specific code (Terraform today). -- **Platform-managed environments** — account, VPC, state, IAM role; the platform owns the blast radius. -- **HITL gates** — human attestation for qa/prod/dr; dev is autonomous. -- **Evidence stream** — hash-chained outbox, RPO = 0, written by every deployment. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the one-slide map of the platform. Use it to orient the audience before diving into any single component. The leadership-relevant beats: (1) two surfaces, one pipeline, one evidence stream — the convergence is the design; (2) the pipeline stages are fixed and identical for every consumer — no team-specific pipelines; (3) the engine adapter is the only engine-specific code, which is what makes the catalog and confidence model portable. Don't walk every node; point to the boundaries and say "the rest of this deck zooms into each of these." - ---- - -## Slide 4 — Declare intent; the platform delivers safe production - -Consumers **declare intent**; the platform delivers **safe production deployment** — automatically, safely, with a complete audit trail. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph TODAY ["Today"] - direction TB - A["Merged change"] - B["Waits in queue"] - C["Ticket + approvals"] - D["Manual promotion"] - A --> B --> C --> D - end - subgraph ACDL ["With Nova"] - direction TB - E["Declare intent\n(one YAML contract)"] - F["Platform delivers\nsafely, autonomously"] - G["Traceable to\nhuman attestation"] - E --> F --> G - end - TODAY -.before.-> ACDL -``` - -- A merged change progresses **without a platform engineer joining a thread.** -- A **non-technical consumer** ships by declaring intent — no workflow, no config file, no module. -- Every production change is **traceable to a human attestation** and an immutable evidence stream. - -> **Speaker notes:** Land the before/after contrast: today's queue vs. Nova's autonomous flow. The litmus test: if a platform engineer still has to touch a ticket for a dev→qa promotion, we haven't delivered the vision. The North Star is "declare intent → safe production deployment." - ---- - -## Slide 5 — Nova owns infrastructure, not your app - -The platform is deliberately scoped — it is not trying to be everything. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph UP ["Upstream — anything"] - direction TB - A["IDE / IDE + AI\n(dev writes contract)"] - B["Agentic SDLC\n(agent writes contract)"] - C["Citizen dev\n(vibe codes → AI agent\n→ contract)"] - end - subgraph ACDL ["Nova — infrastructure only"] - D["Contract\nvalidated"] - E["Resolve → Plan\nSecurity + Policy checks\nConfidence signal"] - F["Provision\nAWS resources"] - G["Evidence\nhash-chained"] - end - subgraph DOWN ["Downstream"] - H["AWS resources\nrunning"] - I["Consumer pipeline\ndeploys image"] - end - A --> D - B --> D - C --> D - D --> E - E --> F - E --> G - F --> H - H --> I -``` - -- **Upstream is anything** — IDE, agentic SDLC, or vibe coding. Nova doesn't care how the contract was produced. -- **Nova is infrastructure only** — it provisions and governs AWS resources. App build/test/deploy is upstream. -- **Not a general-purpose AI** — autonomy is narrow, scoped to delivery, bounded by strict policy. -- **Not a permissive highway** — no escape hatches to bypass the confidence framework. - -> **Speaker notes:** The sovereign boundary means the platform team owns delivery and infrastructure, not the upstream development process. The anti-goals are as important as the goals: they tell leadership what not to expect. - ---- - -## Slide 6 — One YAML file. The platform owns everything else. - -The contract is the boundary between upstream and Nova. It's all a consumer writes. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - A["Consumer
writes a contract"] --> B["Platform resolves,
compiles, checks,
deploys, records"] - B --> C["Resources running in AWS
+ tamper-evident evidence"] -``` - -- **Which module** — a catalog of pre-built, security-reviewed building blocks. -- **Which environment** — `dev`, `qa`, `prod`, or `dr`. The bar rises automatically with sensitivity. -- **Which inputs** — infrastructure values that vary per deployment (cpu, memory, port, desired_count). -- The consumer provides **no AWS account, no VPC, no state backend** — the platform owns the blast radius. - -> **Speaker notes:** Emphasize the asymmetry. The consumer's surface is intentionally tiny — a contract that fits on one screen. The platform's surface is large and opinionated. The contract examples show infrastructure inputs (cpu, memory, desired_count, port) — not a container image. The image is upstream; the platform governs infrastructure. - ---- - -## Slide 7 — Same stages, same checks, every deployment - -Every deployment runs the same stages, in the same order, with the same checks — no team-specific pipelines, no tribal runbooks. - -```mermaid -flowchart TD - A["Consumer contract
(module + environment + inputs)"] --> B["Validate contract
against the schema"] - B --> C["Resolve to a target stack

(dev only — higher envs hold for attestation)"] -``` - -- **Security and policy checks run *before* any infrastructure is created** — not as a post-deployment audit. -- **Every stage produces a record** that feeds the confidence signal and the evidence stream. No "unchecked" path. - -> **Speaker notes:** Walk left to right once. Don't dwell on internals — the point is that the flow is fixed, opinionated, and identical for every consumer. The two leadership-relevant beats: (1) checks before creation, (2) every stage is evidenced. The confidence signal (Slide 9) is where the "safety is computed" story lands. - ---- - -## Slide 8 — No long-lived credentials. Blast radius contained. - -Consumer repositories hold **no long-lived cloud credentials.** Ever. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - A["Consumer repo\n(no credentials)"] - B["OIDC federation\nshort-lived token"] - C["ABAC session policy\nrepo identity + tags"] - D["Tagged resources\nonly"] - A --> B --> C --> D -``` - -- **Authentication — OIDC federation.** Each job mints a short-lived token; no credential stored in the consumer repo or runner secret. Planned: all runners -- **Authorization — attribute-based (ABAC), not role-based.** Two attribute classes scope every action: - - **Repository identity** — trust policy binds to the exact consumer repo + branch. - - **Resource tags** — every resource tagged `nova:owner` + `nova:contract`; session policy grants access **only to matching tags.** -- **The effect:** a consumer can only touch the resources it created. One consumer can never affect another. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the slide for the Head of Cloud/Security. The key phrase is "blast radius contained to the consumer's own stack." Contrast with the common failure mode of shared CI roles that can touch any account resource. The static-key override exists for edge cases but is rotated daily on platform runners; it is never the default. - ---- - -## Slide 9 — Safety is a measurable signal, not a black box - -Every delivery action produces a **measurable, explainable confidence signal** — a weighted sum of observable facts, not a black box. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - P["Policy"] --> S["Score"] - V["Validation"] --> S - F["Freshness"] --> S - Pr["Provenance"] --> S - H["History"] --> S - N["NFRs"] --> S - S --> B["Band + threshold"] -``` - -- **Six weighted inputs** — policy, validation, freshness, provenance, history, NFRs. Manually tuned, auditable. If a consumer asks "why 0.62?", the platform answers with a per-input breakdown. -- **Per-environment thresholds** that rise with sensitivity: - -| Environment | Threshold | Attester | -|---|---|---| -| dev | ≥ 0.50 | No one — autonomous | -| qa | ≥ 0.75 | QA Planned | -| prod | ≥ 0.90 | SRE Planned | - -- **A single critical finding hard-blocks** — critical findings are not averaged away. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the bet that separates this platform from "yet another CI/CD tool." Reliance on operator instinct or tenure is not a substitute. The signal is auditable; the thresholds are tunable by Infra & Ops + SRE jointly, and any override is itself a confidence-event in the audit stream. Leadership cares because it makes promotion decisions *reviewable*. - ---- - -## Slide 10 — Every change traceable to a human attestation - -Computed safety handles the gate. Humans still matter — here's how accountability works. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph DEV ["dev — autonomous"] - D1["Confidence ≥ 0.50\n→ apply"] - end - subgraph GATED ["qa / prod / dr — gated"] - G1["Confidence ≥ threshold"] - G2["Human attestation\nreviews contract\n+ plan + evidence"] - G3["Separation of duties\nQA ≠ prod approver"] - G1 --> G2 --> G3 - end - DEV --> OUT["Hash-chained\nevidence event\n(RPO = 0)"] - GATED --> OUT -``` - -- **Dev is fully autonomous.** The confidence signal (≥ 0.50) is the only gate. -- **qa, prod, dr require human attestation** — the approver reviews contract, planned Terraform, and accumulated evidence. Planned -- **Separation of duties is enforced** — the QA approver **cannot** be the prod approver. The platform **blocks on a match.** Planned -- **Every deployment writes a hash-chained evidence event** — tampering breaks the chain. **RPO = 0.** - -> **Speaker notes:** The "lower environments autonomous, higher environments attested" tenet is the resolution to the classic "move fast vs. be safe" false dichotomy. Be honest: the separation-of-duties *mechanism* is designed and the dev path is wired; qa/prod/dr wiring is on the roadmap. The audit trail is a byproduct of deployment, not a project. The full regulatory ledger (S3 Object Lock, JWS signatures, daily checkpoints) is planned; what ships today is the outbox + hash chain that makes every event tamper-evident and queryable. - ---- - -## Slide 11 — The vision realized - -- **Velocity without sacrificing safety.** Speed is in the ergonomics; safety is in the gates the consumer cannot bypass. -- **Security, observability, and compliance as platform defaults** — not per-team effort, not post-hoc remediation. -- **Auditability as a byproduct, not a project.** Every production change is traceable to a human attestation and a tamper-evident evidence event. -- **Blast radius contained by design.** Zero-trust OIDC + ABAC means a consumer can only touch its own tagged resources. -- **Infrastructure as a utility, not a craft.** Teams consume infrastructure, they don't maintain it. -- **A path to the citizen developer.** The same safety envelope serves a senior engineer and a non-technical consumer. - -> **Speaker notes:** Close on the strategic frame. The platform is not "a CI/CD tool" — it's the organizational lever for shipping safely at the pace the business demands, with the security and audit posture the regulators require. The investment is in the abstraction, not the tool. - ---- - -## Appendix — Table of Contents - -For deep dives — these slides cover details omitted from the main 10. - -**Contents:** - -1. Platform-Managed Environments (detail) -2. Observability Built In (detail) -3. Security by Construction (the full defaults inventory) -4. The Road to the North Star (phased roadmap) -5. Testing vs. Planned (full inventory) -6. Glossary -7. Operating Model & Cost (real AWS spend + pre-mortem) -8. Verified by Construction (the v1.11 architecture) - -> **Speaker notes:** These are deep-dive slides for follow-up questions. Don't walk them in the main 15-minute talk — pull them up when an audience member wants detail on a specific topic. - ---- - -## A1 — Platform-Managed Environments - -A consumer provides **no AWS account, no VPC, no subnet, no state backend, no runner key.** The platform owns the blast radius. - -A named environment is a platform-owned bundle of: - -- An AWS account (or a scoped partition of one). -- A network (VPC + subnets). -- A state backend (S3 + DynamoDB for infrastructure state + locking). -- An IAM role surfaced to the consumer via ABAC, scoped to the consumer's repository identity and resource tags. - -The consumer selects an environment **by name** in their contract (`environment: dev`). The platform resolves the name to the underlying account/network/state/role at run time. **The consumer never sees the raw credentials.** - -**Friendly onboarding:** the first run detects no environment and emits a guided prompt (not an opaque failure) telling the consumer what the platform will provision and how to request it. *(Testing.)* **Self-service environment provisioning is planned.** - -> **Speaker notes:** For the Head of Cloud: this is the governance story. The platform team owns the accounts, the network design, the state hygiene. Consumers can't drift into misconfigured state backends or over-permissioned roles because they never touch them. The onboarding prompt matters — first impressions of a platform are made when it fails for the first time. - ---- - -## A2 — Observability Built In - -Monitoring is **a platform default, not a per-team project.** *(Testing.)* - -- **Uptime monitoring deployed automatically with every stack** — a dedicated monitoring instance (Uptime-kuma on ECS Fargate) is provisioned after any module deploy, in a separate state, with a feature flag to disable. -- **Monitored endpoints passed from the deployment's own outputs** — the platform constructs a synthetic monitoring contract from what was just deployed. No manual endpoint registration. -- **Alert channels:** Microsoft Teams webhook, email, SMS, and GitHub issues. *(Testing.)* -- **The uptime URL is published to the developer** via a PR comment — they don't hunt for it. -- **Roadmap:** deeper observability bootstrap (dashboards, runbooks, on-call bindings) as first-class contract fields for prod/dr. *(Planned.)* - -> **Speaker notes:** The Head of DevOps cares about this. The framing: "you don't deploy a service and *then* remember to set up monitoring — the platform does it as part of the deploy." The feature flag means teams with existing monitoring (e.g. Datadog) can opt out cleanly. - ---- - -## A3 — Security by Construction - -Security defaults that **do not require a team to opt in.** Checks run on **every** deployment, normalized to a single schema regardless of which engine produced them. *(Testing.)* - -- **Infrastructure-as-code policy** (Checkov) — secrets in plaintext, public ingress, IAM wildcards, KMS key references, **required tagging standards** (`nova:owner`, `nova:contract`, `nova:environment`, `nova:cost-center`). All run *before* infra is created. -- **Cloud security posture** (Wiz adapter) — translates cloud security findings into the same normalized record. *(Adapter testing; activates when a Wiz tenant is configured.)* -- **Kubernetes-native policy** (Kyverno adapter) — ready for the GitOps reconciler roadmap item. *(Adapter testing; inactive for Terraform-only stacks.)* -- **Encryption on every resource** — at-rest encryption is on by default for every primitive (S3, RDS, ECR, ECS, and more). *(Testing.)* -- **Per-stack customer-managed keys (CMKs)** — one key per deployment, 90-day rotation at creation, **no shared keys across stacks.** *(Testing.)* -- **Managed-key fallback with a loud warning** — standalone primitives fall back to cloud-managed keys only when no CMK is provided, and the platform warns explicitly. *(Testing.)* -- **Deletion protection on by default** — every resource has `prevent_destroy` on unless a consumer explicitly disables it via a documented feature flag. *(Testing.)* -- **Safe decommission** — a 2-step pipeline (disable protection → zero counts → destroy) with **two SRE human-attestation gates** and a **change-request validated against the platform CMDB** before any destructive action. *(Testing.)* Encryption keys enter a grace window (default 30 days) so encrypted data remains recoverable during decommission. - -> **Speaker notes:** The phrase to land is "secure by default, not secure by effort." The selling point is *normalization* — we can add a new security tool without changing the confidence model or the evidence stream. For the Head of Security: tagging standards are enforced, not advisory — a missing `nova:owner` tag fails the check, not a warning. The decommission flow is the counter-argument to "deletion protection makes cleanup impossible" — it's a deliberate, gated, two-approval path, not a lock with no key. - ---- - -## A4 — The Road to the North Star - -*Proposed phasing — not formally planned.* - -A phased roadmap from the current Testing baseline to the full North Star: - -- **Phase 1 — Testing baseline (current, v1.12):** contract-driven deploys, zero-trust OIDC + ABAC on GitHub Actions, confidence signal gating, hash-chained evidence, encryption by default, deletion protection + safe decommission, uptime monitoring, platform-managed environments. **22/22 capabilities Verified** via the v1.11 lifecycle pipeline (apply→modify→destroy against live AWS, then torn down to zero-cost). The stateless adapter + lifecycle pipeline are the structural verification (see A8). -- **Phase 2 — Production readiness:** HITL wiring for qa/prod/dr, all-runner OIDC, full regulatory ledger (S3 Object Lock + JWS signatures + daily checkpoints), environment self-service. -- **Phase 3 — Compliance & expansion:** compliance milestone (GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA extension points), additional engine adapters (OpenTofu, Pulumi, Kubernetes CRDs), deeper observability bootstrap. -- **Phase 4 — Agentic frontier:** dynamic module creation from a contract (the agentic citizen-developer composition mechanism), pattern recognition that compounds value over time. - -> **Speaker notes:** Be clear with leadership: this is a proposed phasing, not a formally committed plan. The phases are sequenced by dependency, not by calendar — each phase's items are gated on the prior phase's maturity. Phase 1 is now fully Verified (22/22) and torn down to zero-cost — it is no longer aspirational. Invite questions on any phase boundary. - ---- - -## A5 — Testing vs. Planned (Full Inventory) - -> **Verification status (v1.12, 2026-07-29):** 22/22 auto-verifiable capabilities **Verified** — the v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy against live AWS for every L1 + L2 module, then tore down to zero-cost (D-096). The v1.10 "6 deploy-unverified (IAM drift)" status is closed (CAP-013 fixed in P67). See `CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md`. - -**Testing** (works internally, dev pilot-ready — 22/22 Verified via lifecycle pipeline + regression gate): - -- Contract-driven deploys with a versioned reusable workflow. -- Module catalog (primitives + modules) with validated examples. -- Zero-trust OIDC + ABAC on GitHub Actions runners. -- Security + policy checks before infra creation (Checkov; Wiz + Kyverno adapters ready). -- Confidence signal (6 inputs, per-env thresholds) gating promotion. *(Agentic.)* -- Hash-chained, tamper-evident evidence outbox (RPO = 0). -- Encryption by default + per-stack customer-managed keys. -- Deletion protection by default + safe decommission with SRE gates + CMDB validation. -- Uptime monitoring deployed automatically with every stack. -- Platform-managed environments + friendly onboarding. -- Engine-agnostic core (1 adapter: Terraform) + VCS-agnostic ingestion (GitHub + Gitea). - -**Planned** (on the roadmap, not yet implemented) — 9 capabilities: - -- Real OIDC federation on all platform runners (Gitea Actions OIDC pending an upstream merge). -- HITL wiring for qa / prod / dr environments (design shipped; wiring is next). -- Full regulatory ledger: S3 Object Lock (7-yr compliance mode) + JWS detached signatures + daily checkpoints. -- Compliance milestone: per-module extension points for GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA. -- Environment self-service (a consumer-facing flow to request and provision a new environment). -- Dynamic module creation from a contract (the agentic "citizen developer" composition mechanism). *(Agentic.)* -- Pattern recognition compounds value over time. *(Agentic.)* -- Additional engine adapters (OpenTofu, Pulumi, Kubernetes CRDs). -- Deeper observability bootstrap (dashboards, runbooks, on-call bindings). - -> **Speaker notes:** Close on honesty. The platform delivers real, verifiable value today — 22/22 auto-verifiable capabilities are Verified via the v1.11 lifecycle pipeline (apply→modify→destroy against live AWS) + the D-091 regression gate. The roadmap is concrete, not aspirational hand-waving — 9 planned items, each with a defined milestone and a clear reason it isn't shipped yet (usually an upstream dependency, not an engineering gap). Emphasize: 0 consumer adoption today — "Testing" means it works internally and is dev pilot-ready, not that it's released. The lifecycle pipeline defaults to **plan-only** on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); a CI variable (`NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full`) overrides to the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). - ---- - -## A6 — Glossary - -| Term | Meaning | -|---|---| -| **OIDC** | OpenID Connect — federation protocol for short-lived tokens, no long-lived credentials | -| **ABAC** | Attribute-Based Access Control — access scoped by resource tags + repo identity, not roles | -| **CMK** | Customer-Managed Key — per-stack encryption key, 90-day rotation, no shared keys | -| **CMDB** | Configuration Management Database — validates change requests for decommission | -| **RPO** | Recovery Point Objective — RPO = 0 means evidence is written synchronously, no data loss | -| **HITL** | Human-in-the-Loop — deliberate human attestation required for qa/prod/dr environments | -| **VCS** | Version Control System — the git hosting platform (GitHub, Gitea, GitLab) | -| **NFR** | Non-Functional Requirement — encryption, tagging, observability standards | -| **IR** | Intermediate Representation — the engine-agnostic stack definition between contract and Terraform | - -> **Speaker notes:** Use this slide as a reference when the audience asks for term definitions. Don't read it aloud — point to it as a takeaway reference. - ---- - -## A7 — Operating Model & Cost (real AWS spend + pre-mortem) - -Nova runs at **zero cloud cost** for day-to-day development. The v1.0→v1.10 AWS spend was measured directly via Cost Explorer (`COST.md`, 2026-07-28): - -| Metric | Value | -|--------|-------| -| Total spend (8 days) | **$0.001883** | -| Daily average | $0.000235 | -| Projected monthly | ~$0.007 | -| Peak day | 2026-07-27 ($0.000867 — v1.10 regression + verify run) | - -- **S3 dominates** (98.8%, terraform state bucket) — no compute (ECS/Lambda) ran because v1.0→v1.10 was plan-only for IAM-gated capabilities. -- **Local emulators are the primary tier** — the full pipeline runs in-process, no AWS credentials, no Checkov, no DynamoDB. *(Testing.)* -- **Live-AWS verification is milestone-scoped, then torn down.** The v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy for every module, then tore down to zero-cost steady state (D-096 — teardown mandatory before milestone COMPLETE; no merge to main until `terraform show` confirms no resources). The lifecycle pipeline now **defaults to plan-only** on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); a CI variable (`NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full`) overrides to the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). -- **Cost drivers** are spike-scoped: Terraform plan reads (free), S3 state storage (cents), DynamoDB outbox (cents). Any cost spike > $1/day is an anomaly. - -**Pre-mortem (`PRE_MORTEM.md`):** the project's failure modes were pre-mortemed before the leadership pitch. The v1.10 decay incident (diff-scoped VERIFY missed 7 adapter defects across 8 NFR-patch phases — decks advertised capability that wasn't reproducible) is the root pattern: *a claim outruns the verification that backs it.* Four forward failure modes + structural mitigations: (FM-1) IAM-drift recurrence → IAM policy baseline is regression-tested; (FM-2) cost spike from un-torn-down stacks → D-096 mandatory teardown; (FM-3) deck overstates capability → verified-only claims + decks unfrozen only after re-verification; (FM-4) pilot contract gap → honest scope (microservice + static-assets today; the L2 pattern is extensible). All mitigations are structural, not procedural. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the slide for the Head of Cloud / Finance. The headline: less than one cent over 8 days of active development; zero BAU cloud spend; the lifecycle pipeline defaults to plan-only so the PR-time cost is zero. The pre-mortem is the credibility slide — we have already asked "how does this fail?" and the mitigations are structural (regression-tested baselines, mandatory teardown, verified-only deck claims). The v1.10 decay incident is disclosed honestly, not hidden — that disclosure IS the mitigation. - ---- - -## A8 — Verified by Construction (the v1.11 architecture) - -v1.11 rebuilt the platform on two architectural pillars that make "Verified" a structural property, not a claim: - -- **The stateless adapter (REQ-123, 918 → ~80 lines).** The Terraform adapter was a 918-line monolith with 3 constant tables and 39 type-specific branches. It is now a ~80-line **stateless assembler**: it owns no module content — no resource shape, no nested HCL blocks, no defaults, no type-specific logic. Each L1 module ships a real `terraform/` module dir owning its resource shape, nested blocks, and defaults (centralized in `locals.tf`). The adapter reads the registry and emits `module "x" { source = ... }` blocks. No type-specific logic in the adapter means a new module is a new terraform dir, not a code change. *(The v1.12 P67 fix closed a dedup defect where multi-resource L1s — ecs-service, alb — produced invalid Terraform; CAP-013 now Verified.)* -- **Pipeline-driven lifecycle testing (REQ-127/128).** A `modules-lifecycle` pipeline matrix-runs each L1 and L2 module's `examples/{simple,complex}.yml` contracts through apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. No per-module Python. **The "test" = the pipeline cell going green.** Defaults to **plan-only** on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); `NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full` runs the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). The regression gate (D-091) re-runs all 22 capabilities at milestone completion — 22/22 Verified as of v1.12. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the deep-dive slide for the Head of Engineering / Architecture. The two pillars are the answer to "how do you keep the decks honest?" The adapter is simple enough to reason about (a stateless assembler), and the lifecycle pipeline is the automated verification that backs every "Testing" claim. The v1.10 lesson is the negative space: a 918-line adapter with type-specific branches decayed silently because the VERIFY gate was diff-scoped. The ~80-line stateless adapter + the milestone regression gate are the structural fix. The plan-only default (v1.12) means this verification runs on every PR at zero cost, with the full apply→destroy gated behind a CI variable override. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/presentations/nova-no-humans-platform-marp.md b/docs/presentations/nova-no-humans-platform-marp.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f58df0d --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/presentations/nova-no-humans-platform-marp.md @@ -0,0 +1,324 @@ +--- +marp: true +theme: default +paginate: true +size: 16x9 +header: 'Nova — The No-Humans Infrastructure Platform' +footer: 'Act %{page}/5 — v1.17' +style: | + section { font-size: 0.85em; } + h1 { color: #1a1a2e; } + h2 { color: #16213e; } + table { font-size: 0.75em; } + .badge { padding: 2px 8px; border-radius: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; } + .badge.planned { background: #fff3cd; color: #856404; } + section.title { background: #1a1a2e; color: white; } +--- + + + + +# Nova — The No-Humans Infrastructure Platform + +**Shifting from Operational Overhead to Strategic Value** + +v1.17 — Strategic Direction, Leadership Metrics & Unified Story + +--- + +## Slide 1 — Arc Preview + +**This deck proves Nova is the no-humans infrastructure platform — and shows you the metrics that make the claim defensible.** + +**Today:** 18 capabilities verified, 0 consumer estates in production. + +**The 5-act arc:** +1. **Problem** — why the operator is the bottleneck +2. **Vision** — Nova's strategic direction (NORTH_STAR) +3. **How** — the pipeline, Decision Ledger, attestation gates +4. **Proof** — grounded metrics that make the claim defensible +5. **Roadmap** — deferred metrics with unblock paths + the ask + +**Benefit:** you leave knowing which claims are proven today, which are pipeline-ready, and which are deferred with a documented unblock path — no marketing, just grounded evidence. + +--- + +## Slide 2 — The No-Humans Imperative + +**Why the operator is the bottleneck — and why removing them from operations (not accountability) is the imperative.** + +- **The cost of humans-in-the-loop:** L1/L2 ops hours, escalation latency, the trust gap +- **The operator is the bottleneck:** provisioning takes days, not minutes +- **The attestation model:** autonomy in operations, human at stage gates +- Cites `docs/NO_HUMANS_THESIS.md` + +**Benefit:** you now know the problem framing — autonomy in operations, human at stage gates, is the path forward. + +--- + +## Slide 3 — Nova's Vision + +> **Infrastructure operations become invisible.

Honors D-083 (no S3 Object Lock/JWS — local hash-chain this milestone) + +**D-122 honesty:** Nova's "AI" is the confidence-gated policy engine (confidence_signal + HITL gate), not an LLM planner. The Decision Ledger captures this real decision path — not a fabricated "AI agent" that doesn't exist yet. + +> **Benefit:** you now know why 'autonomous' is defensible — every decision is immutable, queryable, and accountable. And you know exactly what 'AI' means here: a confidence-gated policy engine, not a black-box LLM. + +> **Speaker notes:** The D-122 honesty sentence is critical. If the audience walks away thinking Nova has an LLM planner, we've violated the "no fabrication" constraint. The Decision Ledger is the trust substrate (NORTH_STAR Objective #2) — it's the moat. Features can be copied; an immutable, queryable decision history cannot. + +> **Transition:** "Decisions are captured — here is how stage-gate attestation keeps humans in accountability." + +--- + +## Slide 8 — The 8-Concern Attestation Matrix + +This slide shows the 8-concern attestation matrix — the designed controls that keep humans at stage gates. + +| Concern | Env | Freshness | Type | +|---------|-----|-----------|------| +| functional_correctness | qa | 24h | operator-supplied | +| performance_baseline | qa | 7d | operator-supplied | +| security_posture | qa | 24h | operator-supplied | +| contract_nfrs | qa/prod/dr | — | offline-testable | +| operational_readiness | prod | 30d | operator-supplied | +| incident_response | prod | 90d | operator-supplied | +| capacity_cost | prod | 30d | operator-supplied | +| resilience_dr_drill | prod | 180d | operator-supplied | +| resilience_chaos | prod | 90d | operator-supplied | +| resilience_backup | prod | 30d | operator-supplied | +| dr_region_deploy | dr | 180d | operator-supplied | + +- Offline-testable concerns run for real; operator-supplied concerns accept signed evidence artifacts +- Separation-of-duties on prod (the approver can't be the same person who built it) +- Grounded in `core/attestation_matrix.py` + `core/hitl_gates.py` + +> **Benefit:** you now know the gate model — autonomy in operations, human in accountability, by design. The 8-concern matrix is what makes "no-humans in ops" safe. + +> **Speaker notes:** The attestation matrix is the human-in-the-loop safeguard. It's not a rubber stamp — it's a structured, freshness-validated, separation-of-duties-enforced gate. This is what Anti-Goal #3 means: "not a system that removes humans from accountability." + +> **Transition:** "You've now seen how Nova works — the pipeline, the Decision Ledger, the attestation gates. But 'how it works' is not 'proof it works.' The next four slides show the measured evidence: capability health, trust metrics, efficiency, and cost — every number grounded in a real file, not a marketing claim." + +--- + +## Slide 9 — Telemetry Architecture + +This slide shows how Nova instruments itself — the CloudEvents envelope, the cold store, and the PowerBI export. + +```mermaid +graph TB + A[Platform components] --> B[CloudEvents 1.0 envelope] + B --> C[metrics/events.jsonl] + B --> D[metrics/decision_ledger.db] + B --> E[metrics/runs/] + C --> F[Collector] + D --> F + E --> F + F --> G[metrics/nova_metrics.db] + G --> H[metrics/powerbi/] + H --> I[PowerBI dashboards] +``` + +- Platform components → CloudEvents 1.0 envelope → `metrics/events.jsonl` + `metrics/runs/` + `metrics/decision_ledger.db` → collector → `metrics/nova_metrics.db` (SQLite cold store) → `metrics/powerbi/` (CSV/JSON views) → PowerBI +- D-120 (Nova-native), D-125 (hybrid events/files), D-126 (cold-only) +- Planned: Hot-path (live ops dashboard) — D-126 + +> **Benefit:** you now know that every metric in this deck is traceable to a real emitted event — the architecture IS the trust substrate. When a CFO asks 'where does this number come from?', the answer is a file path, not a Slack thread. + +> **Speaker notes:** The architecture is deliberately minimal (Nova-native, no Kafka/Prometheus/ClickHouse). The hot path is deferred (D-126) — the cold store is sufficient for batch/historical analysis. The key point: every number in the Proof act is traceable to a file path. This is the "no fabrication" constraint made architectural. + +> **Transition:** "The architecture is sound — here is the measured proof." + +--- + +## Slide 10 — Capability Health + Confidence Distribution + +This slide shows the grounded proof: capability health and confidence distribution from real runs. + +**Capability Health:** 18 Verified + 4 Skipped (post-D-096 teardown) from `.ciagent/REGRESSION_REPORT.json` + +| Status | Count | +|--------|-------| +| Verified | 18 | +| Skipped | 4 | +| Broken | 0 | +| Decayed | 0 | + +- The 4 Skipped are live-AWS capabilities (CAP-013..016) — honestly skipped because resources are torn down (D-096), not a failure +- Confidence distribution: from `metrics/nova_metrics.db` `fact_confidence` — score histogram, band breakdown (pass/halt) + +> **Benefit:** you now know the platform is verified — 18 capabilities pass, 4 are honestly skipped, 0 broken. The honesty model (Skipped ≠ failure) is what makes the Verified count credible. + +> **Speaker notes:** The 18V+4S number is the single most important proof point. It says "the platform works, and we're honest about what we can't test." The 4 Skipped are live-AWS capabilities — they're skipped because the live AWS resources are torn down (D-096), not because they're broken. When live AWS is re-provisioned, they reactivate. + +> **Transition:** "Capability health is necessary — here is the trust substrate that makes autonomy defensible." + +--- + +## Slide 11 — Decision Ledger + Attestation Coverage + +This slide shows the trust metrics — Decision Ledger coverage and attestation coverage, both 100%. + +- **Decision Ledger Coverage:** 100% of platform runs emit `ai.decision.made` with outcome backfill (source: `metrics/decision_ledger.db`) +- **Attestation Coverage:** 100% of prod/dr promotions attested by a human (source: `hitl_gates.py` + outbox `approver_*` attributes) +- **AI Decision Accuracy:** decisions not followed by apply.failed/incident within 5min +- The trust-snapshot report (`metrics/TRUST_SNAPSHOT.md`) with chain-integrity verdict +- Planned: Tamper-Evident Ledger Checkpoints (D-083) + +> **Benefit:** you now know the trust is provable — not a marketing claim, a queryable record. The Decision Ledger is the moat; features can be copied, an immutable decision history cannot. + +> **Speaker notes:** The trust metrics are the "provably trustworthy" proof. Decision Ledger Coverage = 100% means no AI decision is ever lost. Attestation Coverage = 100% means no prod/dr promotion lands without a human sign-off. The chain-integrity verdict (from the trust snapshot) proves the ledger hasn't been tampered with. + +> **Transition:** "Trust is provable — here is the operational efficiency that makes the ROI real." + +--- + +## Slide 12 — Zero-Touch Efficiency + +This slide shows the zero-touch efficiency metrics — touchless resolution, human escalation, and MTTR. + +- **Touchless Resolution Rate:** runs without operational HITL block ÷ total (attestation gates excluded) +- **Human Escalation Frequency:** operational HITL blocks only (confidence-driven; attestation sign-offs excluded) +- **MTTR (platform-run):** apply.failed → successful retry (D-131) + +**Post-Pilot caveat:** these three metrics are computed on N internal runs today; the production-denominator activates when a pilot estate runs (see NORTH_STAR Post-Pilot Targets section). + +> **Benefit:** you now know the zero-touch efficiency is measurable — the pipeline works today on internal runs, and the denominator expands to production estates when a pilot activates. + +> **Speaker notes:** The Post-Pilot caveat is the honesty model. The pipeline is grounded (it works); the denominator is zero (0 consumers). This is not a fabricated "99% touchless" claim — it's "the measurement works, and the numbers fill when a pilot runs." + +> **Transition:** "Efficiency is half the ROI story — here is the cost side." + +--- + +## Slide 13 — Cost & ROI + +This slide shows the cost estimates and the ROI formula — with honest caveats about the current denominator. + +- **Cost Estimates via Infracost:** pre-apply, grounded (reads plan JSON, offline) +- **ROI formula (shown inline):** `Platform ROI = (FTE hours saved × blended rate + cloud savings + avoided downtime) ÷ platform op cost` +- **N=0 caveat:** "These derived metrics are computed on N internal runs today; the production-denominator activates post-pilot. The formula is grounded; the production numbers are not yet." +- **FTE Hours Saved** (derived), **Platform ROI** (derived formula) +- Planned: Live CUR Reconciliation (D-096), Drift Auto-Reversal (D-096) + +> **Benefit:** you now know the ROI formula — and you know it's computed on internal runs today, not fabricated production numbers. The formula is ready; the production denominator activates with a pilot. + +> **Speaker notes:** The ROI formula is shown inline — not hidden in a footnote. The N=0 caveat is stated explicitly. This is the "no fabrication" constraint in action: we show the formula, we show the caveat, we don't pretend the production numbers exist. + +> **Transition:** "The proof is grounded — here is what is honestly deferred." + +--- + +## Slide 14 — What's Deferred — and Why + +This slide pairs each deferred metric with its blocking decision — honesty about what isn't measured yet. + +**To be clear:** these deferrals are *measurement infrastructure*, not whether the platform runs without humans. The platform IS autonomous in operations. What's deferred is the *evidence pipeline* for certain metrics — not the autonomy itself. + +| # | Deferred Metric | Blocking Decision | +|---|----------------|-------------------| +| 1 | Live Infrastructure Health | D-096 | +| 2 | Live Outbox Write Rate | D-096 | +| 3 | Tamper-Evident Ledger Checkpoints | D-083 | +| 4 | Onboarding Funnel (granted) | D-113/D-114/D-119 | +| 5 | Drift Auto-Reversal | D-096 + no scheduler | +| 6 | Live CUR Reconciliation | D-096 | +| 7 | SLA / Unplanned Downtime | D-096 | +| 8 | Predictive vs Reactive | future emitter | + +From `docs/METRICS_DEFERRED_ROADMAP.md`. + +> **Benefit:** you now know the boundaries — what Nova measures today, and exactly what blocks the rest. The autonomy is real; the measurement gaps are documented. + +> **Speaker notes:** The preempt is critical: these deferrals are measurement infrastructure, not autonomy. The platform runs without humans in operations. What's deferred is the evidence pipeline for live-infra health, drift detection, predictive remediation — not the autonomy itself. Showing this slide to leadership demonstrates honesty, not weakness. + +> **Transition:** "The proof is honest — here is the roadmap from here to the 12–18 month targets." + +--- + +## Slide 15 — Roadmap to the North Star + +This slide shows the path from v1.17's grounded metrics to the 12–18 month targets — the unblock path for each deferred metric. + +- Each deferred metric → blocking decision → unblock requirement → candidate milestone +- The hot-path activation section (post-D-096, Nova-native only, D-120) +- Re-evaluation triggers: D-096 lift, D-083 lift, onboarding-grant lift + +From `docs/METRICS_DEFERRED_ROADMAP.md`. + +> **Benefit:** you now know the path — every deferred metric has an unblock requirement and a candidate milestone. Nothing is hand-waved; everything has a plan. + +> **Speaker notes:** The roadmap is the bridge from "honestly deferred" to "here's how we get there." Each deferred metric has a specific unblock requirement and a candidate future milestone. The re-evaluation triggers ensure the metrics layer evolves when the blocking decisions lift. + +> **Transition:** "The roadmap is clear — here is the recap and the ask." + +--- + +## Slide 16 — Recap + Ask (the "what I told you" deck-level closing) + +This slide recaps the 5 acts and states the ask. + +**Recap:** +- **Problem:** the operator is the bottleneck; autonomy in operations, human at stage gates +- **Vision:** invisible operations with provable trust (NORTH_STAR) +- **How:** pipeline + Decision Ledger + 8-concern attestation matrix +- **Proof:** 18V+4S, 100% ledger coverage, 100% attestation, grounded ROI formula +- **Roadmap:** deferred metrics have unblock paths + +**The ask:** "The ask is a business decision: approve a pilot estate to activate the production-denominator metrics (Touchless Resolution, Human Escalation, AI Decision Accuracy), and approve the tamper-evident ledger build-out (D-083 lift) to move from local hash-chain to S3 Object Lock + JWS. These two decisions move Nova from 'pipeline-ready' to 'production-proven.'" + +> **Benefit:** you leave with a clear business decision to make — approve a pilot + the ledger build-out — and the confidence that every claim in this deck is grounded, derived, or honestly deferred. + +> **Speaker notes:** The ask is a business decision, not insider language. "Approve a pilot estate" is something a C-suite can decide. "Approve the ledger build-out" is a budget decision. The recap reinforces the 5-act arc — the audience leaves with the structure, not a pile of facts. + +--- + +## Appendix Slide A1 — Metrics Glossary + +This appendix defines every KPI in one line with its grounding badge. + +| KPI | Definition | Status | +|-----|-----------|--------| +| Touchless Resolution Rate | runs without operational HITL block ÷ total | partial (Post-Pilot) | +| Human Escalation Frequency | operational HITL blocks ÷ total | partial (Post-Pilot) | +| AI Decision Accuracy | decisions not followed by failure within 5min | partial (Post-Pilot) | +| MTTR (p95) | apply.failed → successful retry | grounded | +| Confidence-Gate Halt Rate | runs with band=block ÷ total | grounded | +| Provisioning Lead Time | run.completed − run.started | grounded | +| Deployment Frequency | count(run.completed) per day | grounded | +| Cost Savings (Infracost) | sum(delta_usd where delta < 0) | partial (CUR deferred) | +| FTE Hours Saved | run count × manual baseline × rate | derived (N=0 caveat) | +| Platform ROI | (labor + cloud + avoided downtime) ÷ op cost | derived (N=0 caveat) | +| Decision Ledger Coverage | decisions with outcome ÷ total | grounded | +| Attestation Coverage | prod/dr attested ÷ total prod/dr | grounded | +| Policy Compliance Rate | 1 − failed_assets ÷ total | grounded | + +> **Benefit:** you now have a reference for every metric mentioned in the deck. + +--- + +## Appendix Slide A2 — Operating Model & Cost + +This appendix shows the real cost figures + the zero-cost steady state. + +- **Cost figures** from `COST.md`: $0.001883 over 8 days, ~$0.007/month, S3-dominated, zero BAU compute +- **Zero-cost steady state:** all resources torn down post-v1.11 (D-096); the platform runs offline +- References the pre-mortem (`PRE_MORTEM.md`: v1.10 decay root cause + four forward failure modes + structural mitigations) + +> **Benefit:** you now know the operating cost is negligible — and the structural mitigation that prevents decay. + +--- + +> **End of deck.** 16 main slides + 2 appendix slides = 18 total. +> Both old decks (`how-the-platform-works` + `the-developer-experience`) are retired (D-130). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/presentations/the-developer-experience-marp.md b/docs/presentations/the-developer-experience-marp.md deleted file mode 100644 index e02d550..0000000 --- a/docs/presentations/the-developer-experience-marp.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,321 +0,0 @@ ---- -marp: true -theme: default -paginate: true -size: 16x9 -header: "The Developer Experience" -footer: "Internal" -style: | - section { - font-family: "Akkurat Pro", "Helvetica Neue", "Arial", sans-serif; - font-size: 26px; - color: #1B1B1B; - } - h1 { color: #D6002A; font-size: 40px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; } - h2 { color: #D6002A; font-size: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.2em; } - section.title { background: #1B1B1B; color: #fff; border-top: 8px solid #D6002A; } - section.title h1 { color: #fff; } - table { font-size: 22px; width: 100%; } - th { background: #F0F0F0; } - blockquote { border-left: 4px solid #D6002A; color: #2E2E2E; font-size: 24px; } - pre { font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; } - code { font-size: 16px; } - img { display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-height: 280px; } - .badge { - display: inline-block; padding: 2px 8px; border-radius: 4px; - font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; - } - .planned { background: #fef3c7; color: #78350f; } ---- - - - - -# The Developer Experience - -### Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps - - - ---- - -# Two consumer paths, one safety envelope - -![w:1100](assets/png/developer-experience-01b-scope-boundary.png) - -- **Technical developer** — owns app code + a contract + a thin CI definition -- **Citizen developer** — declares intent; an AI agent produces a contract that passes the **same** safety envelope -- **Upstream is anything** — IDE, agentic SDLC, or vibe coding.

The entire consumer surface. - -**Talking points:** -- Hold this slide — the audience should sit with how small the consumer surface is. Three things: app code, a contract, a one-line CI definition -- The contract is a single YAML file: module, environment, inputs. That's the entire consumer-facing interface to production -- The contract example shows **infrastructure inputs** (cpu, memory, desired_count, port) — not an `image:` field. The consumer declares capacity and shape; the platform resolves the rest -- Walk the "does not" list quickly — no infrastructure modules, no platform repo cloning, no cloud credentials, no state backends. Every item is a category of toil the platform removes -- For the Head of DevOps: this is the lever for throughput — the bottleneck moves off the platform team's ticket queue - -**Key takeaway:** Three things.

Fails gracefully, not opaquely

-

First impressions of a platform are made when it fails for the first time. The platform fails gracefully.

-

When no environment is bound, the platform emits a user-friendly onboarding prompt instead of failing opaquely:

-
    -
  1. That no environment is bound to their repo yet
    2. -
  2. What the platform will provision on their behalf (account, network, state, role)
    3. -
  3. The expected turnaround for the platform team to grant the environment
    4. -
  4. How to request an environment
    5. -
-

The pipeline then exits without attempting a deployment — no partial state, no confusing errors.

A1 — The Citizen Developer Experience

-

A non-technical consumer ships a production deployment by declaring intent — without authoring a workflow, a configuration file, or an infrastructure module.

-
    -
  • The consumer opens an issue describing what they need (e.g. "a web API for the pricing service")
    • -
  • An AI agent maps the intent to a contract referencing a module from the reviewed skill catalog
    • -
  • The contract enters the same pipeline and must clear the same confidence gate before promotion
    • -
-

Guardrails that make this safe:

-
    -
  • Skills are versioned, signed, and reviewed for sensitive data before release (Infra & Ops owns the review)
    • -
  • Agents are stateless — all state lives in the platform; the platform trusts and always verifies
    • -
  • The agent's trace and submission confidence are captured in the contract for review
    • -
-

A2 — No Platform Code, No Cloning

-

Consumers uses: a versioned central workflow. The platform fetches itself at run time. The consumer never touches platform internals.

-

-
    -
  • The consumer's CI definition is a thin wrapper — one uses: line
    • -
  • The runner checks out the consumer repo, then checks out the platform repo into the workspace
    • -
  • The platform installs its own runtime dependencies — the consumer installs nothing
    • -
  • When the platform ships a fix, every consumer on a floating tag gets it on their next run

A3 — Local Reproducibility

-

The entire CI pipeline runs from the shell, not just in CI.

-
    -
  • scripts/run_ci.sh mirrors the CI pipeline locally — the same three stages (lint → test → check-only) in sequence
    • -
  • scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only runs the platform offline — no AWS, no policy engine, no outbox required. Validates a contract end-to-end before pushing
    • -
  • --plan-only runs through the infrastructure plan without applying
    • -
  • The CI and deploy pipelines are defined by declarative contracts (YAML instances validated against JSON Schemas) — a single source of truth that both workflows implement

A6 — Operating Model & Cost

Nova runs at zero cloud cost for day-to-day development. AWS spend was measured via Cost Explorer (COST.md, 2026-07-28):

-
    -
  • Local emulators are the primary tier — the full pipeline runs in-process, no AWS credentials
    • -
  • Live-AWS verification is milestone-scoped, then torn down. The pipeline now defaults to plan-only on every PR; NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full overrides to apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12).
    • -
  • Cost drivers are spike-scoped: Terraform plan reads (free), S3 state storage (cents), DynamoDB outbox (cents). No running infrastructure between milestones.
    • -
-

Pre-mortem (PRE_MORTEM.md): the v1.10 decay incident (diff-scoped VERIFY missed 7 adapter defects) is the root pattern: a claim outruns the verification that backs it. Four forward failure modes + structural mitigations (regression-tested IAM baseline, mandatory teardown, verified-only deck claims, honest scope).

A7 — Verified by Construction

- -

Two architectural pillars make "Verified" a structural property, not a claim:

-
    -
  • The stateless adapter (918 → ~80 lines). The Terraform adapter was a 918-line monolith with 3 constant tables and 39 type-specific branches. It is now a ~80-line stateless assembler: it owns no module content — no resource shape, no nested HCL blocks, no defaults. Each L1 module ships a real terraform/ module dir owning its shape, nested blocks, and defaults. The adapter reads the registry and emits module "x" { source = ... } blocks. A new module is a new terraform dir, not a code change. (The v1.12 P67 fix closed a dedup defect for multi-resource L1s — ecs-service, alb; CAP-013 now Verified.)
    • -
  • Pipeline-driven lifecycle testing. A modules-lifecycle pipeline matrix-runs each L1 and L2 module's contracts through apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. The "test" = the pipeline cell going green. Defaults to plan-only on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full overrides to the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). The regression gate (D-091) re-runs all 22 capabilities at milestone completion — 22/22 Verified as of v1.12.

The v1.10 lesson is the negative space: a 918-line adapter with type-specific branches decayed silently. The ~80-line stateless adapter + the milestone regression gate are the structural fix.

"Planned" = on the roadmap. "Agentic" = involves AI agents or autonomous decision-making. -> **Re-verification (2026-07-29):** Every "Testing" claim in this deck was re-verified in v1.10 Phase 54 (D-093) and again in v1.11 via the pipeline-driven lifecycle tests (P59–P62). The headline E2E (contract → resolver → adapter → terraform init/validate/plan) passes against the live AWS account; the local emulating tier (Phase 53) runs the full E2E with no cloud credentials. **22/22 auto-verifiable capabilities Verified** (CAP-013 fixed in v1.12 P67 — the adapter's multi-resource L1 dedup defect is closed). The v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy against live AWS and was then torn down to zero-cost (D-096).

The platform's surface is large and opinionated. - -> **Speaker notes:** Brief introduction — this deck covers *who uses the platform and how fast/safe they ship*, not the internal mechanics (that's the companion deck). Set the frame: velocity without sacrificing safety, and security/observability/compliance as platform defaults rather than per-team effort. - ---- - -## Slide 2 — Two consumer paths, one safety envelope - -The platform serves **two kinds of consumer** through two coordinated paths — but both converge on the **same contract, the same policy envelope, and the same evidence stream.** - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph UP ["Upstream — anything"] - direction TB - A["Technical dev\n(app code + contract)"] - B["Citizen dev\n(intent → AI agent\n→ contract)"] - end - subgraph ACDL ["Nova — infrastructure only"] - C["Same contract\nSame pipeline\nSame safety"] - D["Provision\nAWS resources"] - E["Evidence\nhash-chained"] - end - subgraph DOWN ["Downstream"] - F["AWS resources\nrunning"] - G["Consumer pipeline\ndeploys image"] - end - A --> C - B --> C - C --> D - C --> E - D --> F - F --> G -``` - -- **Technical developer** — owns app code + a contract + a thin CI definition. -- **Citizen developer** — declares intent in plain language; an AI agent produces a contract that passes the **same** safety envelope. -- **Upstream is anything** — IDE, agentic SDLC, or vibe coding. Nova doesn't care how the contract was produced. -- **Nova is infrastructure only** — it provisions and governs AWS resources. Application deployment is upstream. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the thesis of the deck. The two surfaces are *parallel*, not a progression — a citizen developer doesn't "graduate" to the developer surface. Both produce a contract; both get the same treatment. The scope boundary matters: anything upstream of the contract is out of Nova's concern. The leadership takeaway: we expand who can ship safely without lowering the bar. - ---- - -## Slide 3 — The platform at a glance - -One picture of the whole platform — what you touch, what the platform owns, and where the safety lives.

That is the entire consumer surface. -- **The platform owns everything in the middle** — the pipeline, the catalog, the adapter, the environments, the gates, the evidence. -- **Two surfaces, one pipeline, one evidence stream** — a senior engineer and a citizen developer converge on the same safety envelope. -- **The bar rises automatically** — the confidence signal and HITL gates scale with the target environment, not with a ticket. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the one-slide map. For a developer-experience audience, frame it from the left edge: "this is what you touch, this is what the platform owns for you." The leadership beat: the convergence — two surfaces, one pipeline, one evidence stream — is the design point that lets us expand who can ship safely without lowering the bar. Don't walk every node; point to the contract boundary and say "the rest of this deck zooms into the developer-facing pieces." - ---- - -## Slide 4 — Three things. The entire consumer surface. - -Three things. That is the entire consumer-side surface. - -```yaml -id: msvc -name: microservice -environment: dev -infrastructure: - microservice: - version: "1.0.0" - inputs: - cpu: 256 - memory: 512 - desired_count: 2 - port: 8080 -``` - -1. **App code** — the consumer's service, at the top level of the repo -2. **A contract** — a single YAML file: id, name, environment, infrastructure -3. **A one-line CI definition** — a thin `uses:` wrapper pointing at a versioned platform workflow - -The developer does **not**: write infrastructure modules, clone the platform repo, hold cloud credentials, or maintain a state backend. - -> **Speaker notes:** Hold this slide. The audience should sit with how small the consumer surface is. Every item in the "does not" list is a category of toil the platform removes. The contract is the API — deliberately tiny so that it can be reviewed, validated, and audited. For the Head of DevOps: this is the lever for throughput — the bottleneck moves off the platform team's ticket queue. - ---- - -## Slide 5 — See what the platform does, in real time - -Developers see **what the platform is doing**, in real time. - -- **Streamed output by default** — the plan, policy-check results, and each check record flow to stdout. -- **PR comments after every successful pipeline stage** — a developer always knows where they stand. -- **Clear, explainable halt reasons** — a policy violation, an insufficient confidence signal, or a missing attestation. **Never an opaque debugging exercise.** -- **Connection strings posted as PR comments** — human-readable, no hunting. Runtime secrets go to encrypted Parameter Store (KMS-encrypted, namespaced), never to logs. -- **Errors become GitHub issues, automatically** — a failed deploy opens an issue on the platform repo. - -> **Speaker notes:** This directly answers "but developers hate platforms that hide what they're doing." The platform is opinionated about *what* runs, not *opaque* about *that* it runs. The PR-comment-after-each-stage pattern is a small thing that compounds into trust. The "errors become issues" point is a DX win that also helps the platform team — every consumer failure is a tracked, queryable artifact, not a lost log line. - ---- - -## Slide 6 — Pick from pre-built, security-reviewed blocks - -Developers pick from **pre-built, security-reviewed building blocks.** - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph PRIM ["Primitives"] - direction TB - P1["S3"] - P2["VPC"] - P3["ECS"] - P4["IAM"] - P5["ALB"] - P6["ECR"] - P7["CloudFront"] - P8["WAF"] - P9["RDS"] - end - subgraph MOD ["Modules — composed patterns"] - direction TB - M1["Static site\nCDN + WAF + S3"] - M2["Microservice\nVPC + ECS + ALB + ECR"] - end - PRIM --> MOD -``` - -- **Primitives** — single-purpose resources (S3, VPC, ECS, IAM, ALB, ECR, CloudFront, WAF, RDS), each with documented inputs/outputs and versioning. -- **Modules** — composed patterns (a static site with CDN + WAF; a microservice with VPC + ECS + ALB + ECR). -- **Validated examples per module** — `simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml`, validated against the contract schema in CI. Examples cannot drift from the schema silently. -- **Auto-promotion of patterns** — auto-promoted to the catalog after 3 observed usages. Planned -- **Compliance extension points** — each module lists where GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA controls will wire in. Planned - -> **Speaker notes:** The catalog is what makes "declare intent" practical — you can only declare a module that exists. For leadership: the catalog is the leverage. One well-reviewed module serves every consumer; a fix to the module serves every consumer on the next run. This is the compounding asset. - ---- - -## Slide 7 — The bar rises automatically with sensitivity - -The contract is environment-agnostic. The platform raises the bar automatically. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - DEV["dev
autonomous"] -->|raise the bar| QA["qa
QA attests"] - QA -->|raise the bar| PROD["prod
SRE attests"] - PROD -->|raise the bar| DR["dr
SRE attests + DR drill"] -``` - -| Environment | What the platform adds | Maturity | -|---|---|---| -| dev | Confidence ≥ 0.50, fully autonomous | — | -| qa | QA human attestation + confidence ≥ 0.75 | Planned | -| prod | SRE human attestation + confidence ≥ 0.90 | Planned | -| dr | SRE human attestation + confidence ≥ 0.95 + DR drill reference | Planned | - -- **No staging environment** — the design deliberately removes the "staging is basically prod but not really" anti-pattern. -- **Separation of duties is enforced** — the QA approver cannot be the prod approver. -- **Timeout discipline** — 1 business day = warn + escalate; 2 business days = auto-freeze + re-submit. - -> **Speaker notes:** Promotion is a workflow choice, not a contract mutation — this matters because it means a promotion can be reviewed as a *diff in the workflow*, not as a rewritten contract. The DX win: the contract stays stable across environments; the safety win: the platform raises the threshold and attestation bar automatically based on the target environment. The consumer can't bypass the gates — they pick *which* environment to target, and the platform applies the right bar. Be honest about maturity: dev is tested and pilot-ready; qa/prod/dr wiring is planned. - ---- - -## Slide 8 — Tearing down is as gated as deploying - -Tearing down a stack is **as deliberate as deploying one.** - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - A["Validate CR\n(CMDB)"] - B["Disable\nprevent_destroy"] - C["SRE\napprove"] - D["Zero counts\n+ destroy"] - E["SRE\napprove"] - F["Key enters\ngrace window"] - A --> B --> C --> D --> E --> F -``` - -```yaml -uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.12 -with: - contract: .nova/contract.yml - mode: decommission - changeRequestId: "CHG0678912" -``` - -A 2-step pipeline with **two SRE human-attestation gates**: - -1. **Validate the change request** — the platform queries the CMDB and asserts the CR is `approved` and matches the consumer repo. No CR, no decommission. -2. **Disable deletion protection** → **SRE approves** → **Zero all counts + destroy** → **a second SRE approves.** - -The per-stack encryption key enters a **grace window** (default 30 days) so encrypted data remains recoverable. - -> **Speaker notes:** The counter-argument to "deletion protection makes cleanup impossible" is this slide. Decommission is a first-class, gated, two-approval flow — not a lock with no key, and not an ungated `terraform destroy`. For the Head of Infrastructure: the CMDB validation means decommission is auditable, not just possible. - ---- - -## Slide 9 — You control when you absorb improvements - -Consumers control **when** they absorb platform improvements. - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - subgraph FLOAT ["@v1.12 — floating MAJOR+MINOR"] - direction LR - F1["v1.12.0"] - F2["v1.12.1"] - F3["v1.12.2"] - F1 --> F2 --> F3 - end - subgraph PIN ["@v1.12.2 — pinned exact"] - direction LR - P1["v1.12.2"] - P2["v1.12.2"] - P3["v1.12.2"] - P1 --> P2 --> P3 - end - subgraph MAJ ["@v1 — float MAJOR only"] - direction LR - M1["v1.12.0"] - M2["v1.13.0"] - M3["v1.14.0"] - M1 --> M2 --> M3 - end -``` - -- **Floating MAJOR + MINOR tags** (e.g. `@v1.12`) — automatically receive patch updates within the line. -- **Semantic versioning with a clear contract:** interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR, lifecycle → PATCH. -- **Pin to an exact version** for maximum stability, or float on MAJOR only (`@v1`) to absorb new features on your own cadence. -- **Unversioned references (`@main`, bare) are discouraged** — the versioned tag is the only immutability lever. -- **Automated release job** computes the next semver on merge to main, creates the tag, and updates the floating tags. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the "no surprise upgrades" story. Leadership hears two things: (1) consumers aren't forced to chase the platform, (2) the platform isn't forced to support N forks of every workflow. The versioning discipline is what makes both true. - ---- - -## Slide 10 — Fails gracefully, not opaquely - -First impressions of a platform are made **when it fails for the first time.** The platform fails gracefully. - -When no environment is bound, the platform emits a **user-friendly onboarding prompt** instead of failing opaquely. The prompt tells the consumer: - -1. That no environment is bound to their repo yet. -2. What the platform will provision on their behalf (account, network, state, role). -3. The expected turnaround for the platform team to grant the environment. -4. How to request an environment. - -The pipeline then **exits without attempting a deployment** — no partial state, no confusing errors. - -Citizen developer onboarding path: planned - -> **Speaker notes:** This looks like a small thing; it's actually a cultural one. The platform's posture is "help me get started," not "you should have known." For the Head of DevOps: this is what drives adoption. Platforms that fail opaquely on first run get routed around. - ---- - -## Slide 11 — The desired outcomes - -- **Velocity without sacrificing safety.** Speed is in the ergonomics; safety is in the gates the consumer cannot bypass. -- **Security, observability, and compliance as platform defaults** — not per-team effort, not post-hoc remediation. -- **Auditability as a byproduct, not a project.** Every production change is traceable to a human attestation and a tamper-evident evidence event. -- **Blast radius contained by design.** Zero-trust OIDC + ABAC means a consumer can only touch its own tagged resources. -- **The bottleneck moves off the platform team's ticket queue.** A merged change progresses through lower environments without a platform engineer joining a thread. -- **Infrastructure as a utility, not a craft.** Teams consume infrastructure, they don't maintain it. -- **A path to the citizen developer.** The same safety envelope serves a senior engineer and a non-technical consumer. - -> **Speaker notes:** Close on the strategic frame. The platform is not "a CI/CD tool" — it is the organizational lever for shipping safely at the pace the business demands, with the security and audit posture the regulators require. Invite questions; the companion deck ("How the Platform Works") covers the internal mechanics in more depth. - ---- - -## Appendix — Contents - -For deep dives — these slides cover details omitted from the main 10. - -1. **A1 — The Citizen Developer Experience** (full) -2. **A2 — No Platform Code, No Cloning** (detail) -3. **A3 — Local Reproducibility** (detail) -4. **A4 — The Road to the North Star** (phased roadmap) -5. **A5 — Glossary** -6. **A6 — Operating Model & Cost** (real AWS spend + pre-mortem) -7. **A7 — Verified by Construction** (the v1.11 architecture) - -> **Speaker notes:** These are backup slides for Q&A. Use them when the audience asks for the detail behind a main-slide claim. Don't walk through them in the main talk unless time permits. - ---- - -## A1 — The Citizen Developer Experience - -A non-technical consumer ships a production deployment **by declaring intent** — without authoring a workflow, a configuration file, or an infrastructure module. Think of this as **vibe coding on a laptop** — the consumer describes what they want; an AI agent turns that into a contract that the platform treats identically to a senior engineer's. - -- The consumer opens an issue describing what they need (e.g. "a web API for the pricing service"). -- An AI agent maps the intent to a contract referencing a module from the **reviewed skill catalog.** -- The contract enters the **same pipeline** and must clear the **same confidence gate** before promotion. - -**Guardrails that make this safe:** - -- Skills are **versioned, signed, and reviewed for sensitive data before release** (Infra & Ops owns the review — it is the mandatory release gate). -- Agents are **stateless** — all state lives in the platform. The platform does not run the skill blindly; it trusts and **always verifies** on the platform side. -- The agent's trace and submission confidence are captured in the contract (`profile: agentic`), so a reviewer can see *how* the contract was produced. -- **Initial skill catalog:** web API, worker, scheduled job, static asset, basic observability bootstrap. - -Skill catalog + real agent runtime: planned - -> **Speaker notes:** Be honest about maturity: the *mechanism* (agent → contract → same pipeline) is designed and the stub was proven in the v1.0 demo; the full skill catalog and real agent runtime are planned. The "vibe coding on a laptop" framing is intentional — it meets the citizen developer where they already are, but every submission still passes the same safety envelope. The design point matters to leadership now: we are building for a world where more of the org can ship safely, not where more of the org has to become a platform engineer. - ---- - -## A2 — No Platform Code, No Cloning - -Consumers `uses:` a **versioned** central workflow. The platform fetches itself at run time. The consumer **never touches platform internals.** - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - A["Consumer repo
app + contract + 'uses:'"] -->|triggers on push to main| B["Platform runner"] - B -->|checks out the consumer repo| A - B -->|checks out the Nova platform repo
into the workspace| C["Platform code
(modules, adapters, schemas)"] - C --> B - B -->|runs the pipeline against
the consumer's contract| D["Consumer's resources in AWS"] -``` - -- The consumer's CI definition is a thin wrapper — one `uses:` line pointing at a versioned tag. -- The runner checks out the consumer repo, then checks out the platform repo into the workspace. -- The platform installs its own runtime dependencies. The consumer installs nothing. -- The consumer **never clones the platform repo, never invokes platform scripts locally** (optional `--check-only` validation is available but not required for the happy path). -- When the platform ships a fix, every consumer on a floating MAJOR.MINOR tag gets it on their next run — no per-repo upgrade project. - -> **Speaker notes:** The Head of Cloud cares about this: there is no "platform code in every consumer repo" problem. The version-pinned `uses:` line is the *only* coupling, and it's a coupling that updates itself within the line. - ---- - -## A3 — Local Reproducibility - -The entire CI pipeline runs **from the shell**, not just in CI. - -- `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline locally — the same three stages (lint → test → check-only) in sequence. -- `scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only` runs the platform **offline** — no AWS, no policy engine, no outbox required. Validates a contract end-to-end before pushing. -- `--plan-only` runs through the infrastructure plan without applying. -- The CI and deploy pipelines are defined by **declarative contracts** (YAML instances validated against JSON Schemas) — a single source of truth that both workflows implement. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the "no surprises before you push" story. A consumer can validate their contract offline, run the plan offline, and only push when they're confident. The same declarative contract drives both the local tooling and CI — there's no "works on my machine, fails in CI" gap. - ---- - -## A4 — The Road to the North Star - -*Proposed phasing — not formally planned.* - -```mermaid -flowchart LR - P1["Phase 1

Safe promotion
qa/prod/dr wiring"] - P2 --> P3["Phase 3
Agentic surface
(skill catalog + agents)"] - P3 --> P4["Phase 4
North star
citizen developer GA"] -``` - -> **Speaker notes:** This is a proposed phasing, not a formally committed plan — call that out explicitly. Phase 1 is what's tested and Verified today (22/22 capabilities, torn down to zero-cost). Phase 2 is the next milestone (qa/prod/dr wiring). Phase 3 introduces the agentic surface. Phase 4 is the north star: citizen developer GA on the same safety envelope. Use this only when an audience member asks "how do you get from here to there." - ---- - -## A5 — Glossary - -| Term | Meaning | -|---|---| -| **OIDC** | OpenID Connect — federation protocol for short-lived tokens, no long-lived credentials | -| **ABAC** | Attribute-Based Access Control — access scoped by resource tags + repo identity, not roles | -| **CMK** | Customer-Managed Key — per-stack encryption key, 90-day rotation, no shared keys | -| **CMDB** | Configuration Management Database — validates change requests for decommission | -| **RPO** | Recovery Point Objective — RPO = 0 means evidence is written synchronously, no data loss | -| **HITL** | Human-in-the-Loop — deliberate human attestation required for qa/prod/dr environments | -| **VCS** | Version Control System — the git hosting platform (GitHub, Gitea, GitLab) | -| **NFR** | Non-Functional Requirement — encryption, tagging, observability standards | - -> **Speaker notes:** Keep this slide in your back pocket for the audience member who asks "what does ABAC actually mean?" Don't read it aloud. - ---- - -## A6 — Operating Model & Cost - -Nova runs at **zero cloud cost** for day-to-day development. The v1.0→v1.10 AWS spend was measured directly via Cost Explorer (`COST.md`, 2026-07-28): - -| Metric | Value | -|--------|-------| -| Total spend (8 days) | **$0.001883** | -| Daily average | $0.000235 | -| Projected monthly | ~$0.007 | -| Peak day | 2026-07-27 ($0.000867 — v1.10 regression + verify run) | - -- **Local emulators are the primary tier** — the full pipeline runs in-process, no AWS credentials, no Checkov, no DynamoDB. -- **Live-AWS verification is milestone-scoped, then torn down.** The v1.11 lifecycle pipeline ran apply→modify→destroy for every module, then tore down to zero-cost steady state (D-096 — teardown mandatory before milestone COMPLETE). The lifecycle pipeline now **defaults to plan-only** on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); a CI variable (`NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full`) overrides to the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). -- **Cost drivers** are spike-scoped: Terraform plan reads (free), S3 state storage (cents), DynamoDB outbox (cents). No running infrastructure between milestones. - -**Pre-mortem (`PRE_MORTEM.md`):** the project's failure modes were pre-mortemed before the leadership pitch. The v1.10 decay incident (diff-scoped VERIFY missed 7 adapter defects — decks advertised capability that wasn't reproducible) is the root pattern: *a claim outruns the verification that backs it.* Four forward failure modes + structural mitigations (regression-tested IAM baseline, mandatory teardown, verified-only deck claims, honest scope). - -> **Speaker notes:** The headline for the Head of Cloud / Finance: less than one cent over 8 days of active development; zero BAU cloud spend; the lifecycle pipeline defaults to plan-only so the PR-time cost is zero. The pre-mortem is the credibility slide — we already asked "how does this fail?" and the mitigations are structural. - ---- - -## A7 — Verified by Construction (the v1.11 architecture) - -v1.11 rebuilt the platform on two architectural pillars that make "Verified" a structural property, not a claim: - -- **The stateless adapter (918 → ~80 lines).** The Terraform adapter was a 918-line monolith with 3 constant tables and 39 type-specific branches. It is now a ~80-line **stateless assembler**: it owns no module content. Each L1 module ships a real `terraform/` module dir owning its resource shape, nested blocks, and defaults. A new module is a new terraform dir, not a code change. *(The v1.12 P67 fix closed a dedup defect for multi-resource L1s — ecs-service, alb; CAP-013 now Verified.)* -- **Pipeline-driven lifecycle testing.** A `modules-lifecycle` pipeline matrix-runs each L1 and L2 module's contracts through apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. **The "test" = the pipeline cell going green.** Defaults to **plan-only** on every PR (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost); `NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full` runs the real apply→destroy for milestone verification (REQ-134, v1.12). The regression gate (D-091) re-runs all 22 capabilities at milestone completion — 22/22 Verified as of v1.12. - -> **Speaker notes:** This is the deep-dive slide for the Head of Engineering / Architecture. The two pillars answer "how do you keep the decks honest?" The adapter is simple enough to reason about (a stateless assembler); the lifecycle pipeline is the automated verification that backs every "Testing" claim. The v1.10 lesson is the negative space: a 918-line adapter with type-specific branches decayed silently. The ~80-line stateless adapter + the milestone regression gate are the structural fix.
