Source-of-truth markdown for both decks synced to verified reality:
- Re-verification headers -> 22/22 Verified (v1.11 lifecycle + v1.12 P67 fix),
  v1.10 '6 deploy-unverified (IAM drift)' disclosed as closed.
- A4 (PW) verification status: '11 capabilities testing' -> '22/22 Verified
  via lifecycle pipeline + regression gate'.
- De-duplicated repeated story-beat intro lines (PW slides 3-10, A1).
- Version refs @v1.10 -> @v1.11 in deck examples.
- road-to-north-star.mmd re-rendered: v1.10 no longer 'NEXT'; v1.11-v1.12
  lifecycle testing + presentation refine (22/22 Verified + torn down to
  zero-cost) is the current phase; v2.0 is NEXT.
- New A6 'Operating Model & Cost' in both decks: real COST.md figures
  (/usr/bin/bash.001883/8d, ~/usr/bin/bash.007/mo, S3-dominated), zero-cost steady state, D-096
  teardown, + pre-mortem reference (PRE_MORTEM.md: 4 failure modes +
  structural mitigations).
- New A7 'Verified by Construction' in both decks: the two v1.11
  architectural pillars (stateless adapter 918->~80 lines; pipeline-driven
  lifecycle testing — the green cell IS verification) + the v1.12
  plan-only default (ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE flag, REQ-134).
- Appendix TOCs updated (5 -> 7 sections).

Marp + HTML + talking points re-synthesized in P69 (next).

> **Length:** ~15 minutes · 10 main + 6 appendix = 16 slides
> **Purpose:** Sell the developer experience and the citizen developer experience to tech leadership — velocity without sacrificing safety, and security/observability/compliance as platform defaults rather than per-team effort.
> **Maturity framing:** "Testing" = works internally, dev pilot-ready. "Planned" = on the roadmap. "Agentic" = involves AI agents or autonomous decision-making.
> **Re-verification (2026-07-27):** Every "Testing" claim in this deck was re-verified in v1.10 Phase 54 (D-093). 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. 16/16 auto-verifiable capabilities Verified; 6 IAM-gated cloud resources are escalated (require an admin principal the spike-runner lacks). See `.ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md`.
> **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 (P59P62). 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). See `.ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md` and `.ciagent/PRE_MORTEM.md`.

## A6 — Operating Model & Cost
ACDL 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. <span class="badge testing">Testing</span>
- **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 (`ACDL_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); `ACDL_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. The plan-only default (v1.12) means verification runs on every PR at zero cost, with the full apply→destroy gated behind a CI variable override.
