Re-synthesized both Marp decks from the v1.12-synced source markdown:
- Both decks now 10 main + 7 appendix = 17 slides (was 10 + 6 = 16).
- New A6 'Operating Model & Cost': real COST.md figures table (/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), + plan-only
default bullet (ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE=full override, REQ-134).
- New A7 'Verified by Construction': stateless adapter (918->~80 lines,
per-module terraform/ dirs, P67 dedup fix) + pipeline-driven lifecycle
testing (green cell = verification, plan-only default, 22/22 Verified).
- 'Testing vs. Planned' (PW slide 11 + A4): '11 capabilities' -> '22/22
Verified via lifecycle pipeline + regression gate'; the
'deploy-unverified (IAM drift)' Verification Coverage line removed
and replaced with the honest 'v1.10 status is closed' disclosure.
- Version refs @v1.10 -> @v1.11 across both decks.
- YAML frontmatter (S&P Global Energy theme), badge system, image refs,
story-beat intros preserved verbatim.
Re-distilled both talking-points files to match (added the previously-
missing A6 + A7 sections; updated all content to 22/22 Verified).
Re-rendered both HTML (committed). Exported both PPTX (held in
/tmp/v1.12-release/ for the v1.12.0 Gitea release upload).
Verification: stale claims in HTML = 2 disclosure lines in PW (the 'v1.10
status is closed' framing), 0 in DX. @v1.10 = 0 across all artifacts.
A6/A7 + cost figures present in both HTML decks. README slide counts
updated (10+7=17).
Major rework of both presentation decks based on leadership feedback.
Addresses: story arc, concept clarity, scope clarification, more visuals,
appendix for detail-heavy slides, and a complete Road to the North Star.
6 new mermaid diagrams:
- platform-works-03-scope-boundary (Upstream → Contract → ACDL → AWS)
- developer-experience-01b-scope-boundary (both consumer paths + scope)
- platform-works-04-confidence-signal (6 inputs → score → gate → decision)
- platform-works-05-attestation-flow (deploy → gate → approver → evidence)
- developer-experience-04-promotion-journey (dev → qa → prod → dr)
- road-to-north-star (v1.0 demo → v1.9 → v1.10 → v2.0 → North Star)
Both Marp decks restructured to 10 main + 6 appendix slides:
PW deck (17 slides):
1. Title
2. The Problem & The North Star (anti-goals moved to slide 3)
3. Where ACDL Sits in Your World (NEW — scope boundary, infra only)
4. The Contract-Driven Model (image: removed, infra inputs instead)
5. The End-to-End Flow
6. Zero-Trust by Default
7. Safety is Computed (NEW confidence signal diagram)
8. Security by Construction
9. Accountability & Audit (NEW attestation flow diagram, QA clarification,
badge reclassification: dev=Testing, qa/prod/dr=Planned)
10. Testing vs. Planned (summary, full inventory in appendix)
11. The Vision Realized
+ Appendix: TOC, Platform-Managed Environments, Observability, Road to
North Star, Full Inventory, Glossary
DX deck (16 slides):
1. Title
2. Where ACDL Sits in Your World (REPLACES Two Consumer Surfaces — scope
boundary with both consumer paths)
3. The Contract — The Entire Consumer Surface (image: removed)
4. The Developer Feedback Loop
5. Versioned, Predictable Releases
6. Friendly Onboarding
7. Safe Promotion Path (NEW promotion journey diagram, rising bar
annotated: dev=Testing, qa/prod/dr=Planned)
8. Safe Decommission
9. Self-Service Module Catalog
10. The Desired Outcomes
+ Appendix: TOC, Citizen Developer Experience, No Platform Code, Local
Reproducibility, Road to North Star, Glossary
Story arc: every slide has an italic 'Story beat' line connecting it to
the narrative progression.
Scope clarification: ACDL is infrastructure only. Upstream is anything
(IDE, agentic SDLC, citizen dev vibe coding). ACDL provisions and governs
AWS resources; application deployment is upstream. Contract examples now
show infrastructure inputs (cpu, memory, desired_count, port) not image:.
QA attestation reclassification: 'Design tested' → 'Planned'. QA attests
to infrastructure readiness (contract + Terraform plan + evidence), not
application code. Dev is autonomous (Testing); qa/prod/dr are Planned.
Road to the North Star: phased timeline (v1.0 → v1.9 → v1.10 → v2.0 →
North Star), annotated 'proposed phasing, not formally planned.'
Also: scripts/sync_to_gl.sh added (GitLab mirror sync utility).

Create two talking points markdown files — one per deck — distilling the
source of truth (speaker notes + content) into presenter-ready cues indexed
by the Marp deck's 10-slide structure.
Each file has:
- One section per Marp slide (## Slide N — Title), matching the Marp deck
- 3-6 talking point bullets per slide — punchy, actionable cues distilled
from the source markdown's speaker notes
- A key takeaway per slide — the one memorable thing the audience should
walk away with
The talking points are the middle layer between the source of truth (full
detail + speaker notes) and the Marp deck (what the audience sees). They
give the presenter a cue sheet for delivery without repeating either layer.
README updated:
- 3-step → 4-step process (added Step 4: talking points)
- Process diagram updated with the 4th step
- Directory layout updated with the two new files
- 'Adding a new presentation' checklist updated with step 6 (distill talking
points)
- Current decks table updated with a talking points column
