docs(P51): full presentation rework — scope, story arc, visuals, appendix

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).

+Architecture is at **v0.2** upstream (`docs/architecture.md`). Milestone v1.1
+**finalizes it to v1.0** in Phase 07 by resolving the 11 open decisions
+(see `PROJECT.md` open-decision resolutions table). This file records the
+locked commitments and the v1.1 spike scope.
 
 ## Overview
 
-The demo is a three-repo, stub-driven system that simulates an autonomous cloud delivery platform. No real cloud or AI is used; every "infrastructure" action is a bash/Python stub that emits structured evidence. The platform is driven by either a developer-supplied `contract.yaml` (L3A) or a natural-language GitHub Issue parsed by a keyword script (L3B), then flows through an autonomous Dev stage, manual QA and Prod approval gates, and finally publishes a hash-chained audit trail to a Pages site.
+The platform is **four layers + six cross-cutting concerns**. The sixth
+concern — the engine abstraction (§12) — is first-class, not an
+implementation detail. The vision's "Two Consumer Surfaces, One Platform"
+tenet binds everything: L3A and L3B converge on the same contract schema,
+the same policy envelope, and the same evidence stream.

-## Components
+## Layers
 
-| Name | Description | Boundaries | Depends On |
-|------|-------------|-----------|------------|
-| `acdl` repo | Platform meta repo: reusable workflows, L1/L2 stub modules, core scripts | Owns workflows + stubs; does not hold contracts or evidence | — |
-| L1 modules | Single-purpose infra primitives (EKS Fargate, IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, SQS, S3, CloudWatch) | One folder per L1; `manifest.yaml` + `mock_apply.sh`; do not compose with other L1s | `acdl` repo |
-| L2 modules | Composed stacks (invoice, commodity-price-feed, energy-analytics-api, regulatory-reporting) | Reference L1s by name; max depth 5; expressed as a composition manifest | L1 modules |
-| `mock_executor.sh` | Reads an L2 composition, invokes each L1 `mock_apply.sh`, writes `state.json` | Bash; reads L2 manifest + L1 manifests | L1/L2 modules |
-| `policy_checker.py` | Reads `contract.yaml`; fails on forbidden keys (e.g. `public-ingress: true`) | Python; emits `POLICY_VIOLATION:<REASON>` or pass | contract.yaml |
-| `confidence_signal.py` | Base 0.90; on policy failure drops to 0.40 and echoes reason | Python; calls policy_checker | policy_checker.py |
-| `evidence_writer.py` | Appends an event to `audit.json`, links to previous event via SHA-256 chain | Python; canonical-JSON hashing | audit.json |
-| `l3b_agent_stub.py` | Parses Issue text by keywords, emits `contract.yaml` | Python keyword map; no external APIs | contract.yaml schema |
-| `acdl-contracts` repo | Developer + agentic entry surface; holds contracts + issue workflow | Triggers main pipeline on push | `acdl` reusable workflow |
-| `acdl-evidence` repo | Pages host for `audit.json` + `index.html` timeline | Read-only for the pipeline; written at finalize stage | evidence_writer.py output |
-| Reusable pipeline workflow | Dev → QA → Prod → Finalize stages with environment gates | Gitea Actions; calls core scripts | All core scripts |
+### Layer 1 — Foundational Primitives
+Single-purpose, **engine-agnostic** primitive modules. L1 modules do
+not compose with other L1s; L1 takes its environment as input. The L1
+interface is defined against the **Target Stack IR**, not against Terraform
+directly (the IR is shaped to round-trip to Terraform in v1, per §12.1).
 
-## Data Flow
+- No inter-L1 references. L1 may call Terraform data sources.
+- Semver: interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR, lifecycle → PATCH (W3.D).
+- Immutability on publication. 12-month deprecation window.
+- AI refinement is a flag; the trigger is the W1.A joint condition.
 
-1. A `contract.yaml` arrives either by direct push (L3A) or by the issue workflow running `l3b_agent_stub.py` (L3B).
-2. Push to `acdl-contracts` triggers the reusable pipeline in the `acdl` repo.
-3. **Dev stage:** `policy_checker.py` validates the contract; `mock_executor.sh` applies the L2 composition's L1s; `confidence_signal.py` computes the score; `evidence_writer.py` records each step. If score < 0.50, the stage fails and evidence records the rejection.
-4. **QA stage:** the workflow pauses on the `qa` environment; a human approves.
-5. **Prod stage:** same gate on the `prod` environment.
-6. **Finalize:** the workflow commits the updated `audit.json` to `acdl-evidence`; Pages republishes `index.html`, which fetches and renders the timeline.
+### Layer 2 — Composed Stacks
+Combine L1 primitives into deployable shapes. Each codebase maps to one
+canonical L2 stack (`multiStack: true` only per W1.B). Shape X
+(parameterized module) or Shape Y (thin-composition layer). Hierarchical
+composition, max depth 5, only registered L1s. The thin-composition tree's
+`wires` field is defined against the IR's relationship type, not a Terraform
+module block.
 
-## Build Order
+Pipeline quality checks: secrets-in-plaintext, public ingress, IAM
+wildcard, KMS key reference, tag compliance, naming convention. Restricted
+from thin-composition: IAM principal creation, network boundary creation,
+key/secret creation, external data transfer. Auto-promote after 3 observed
+usages.
 
-1. Repo scaffolding: create `acdl-contracts` and `acdl-evidence` in the org; seed `acdl` directory layout.
-2. L1 modules (8 stubs).
-3. L2 modules (4 compositions).
-4. Core scripts (`mock_executor.sh`, `policy_checker.py`, `confidence_signal.py`, `evidence_writer.py`, `l3b_agent_stub.py`).
-5. Reusable pipeline workflow (Dev → QA → Prod → Finalize) + environment gates.
-6. Issue-triggered L3B workflow in `acdl-contracts`.
-7. Evidence UI (`index.html` + Pages config).
-8. Demo dry-run + the four scripted acts.
+### Layer 3A — Developer Consumer Surface
+Tag-based reference to the central pipeline template. Developer-owned
+workflow file, no platform auto-sync. L3A and L3B are parallel paths, not a
+progression. **W2.A (Path B):** tag for dev/qa, SHA for prod; platform CLI
+resolves tag→SHA for prod-bound workflows.
 
-## Gitea API Surface (Phase 01 research)
+### Layer 3B — Agentic Consumer Surface
+Hybrid runtime, skill as markdown, agent as executor. Trust model: trust
+and always verify on the platform side. Skill envelope (4 dimensions).
+Stateless agents, all state in the platform. `profile: agentic` marker
+unlocks `naturalLanguageIntent`, `confidenceAtSubmission`, `agentTrace`.
+Initial skill catalog (BA.A): web API, worker, scheduled job, static asset,
+basic observability bootstrap.
 
-Authoritative findings from the Gitea docs (added in RESEARCH; supersedes any
-GitHub-Pages / GitHub-Environments assumptions carried over from the spec):
+Environment progression:
 
-| Capability | Gitea support | ACDL approach |
-|------------|---------------|---------------|
-| Org-scoped repo create | `POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos` (`CreateRepoOption`) | Used to create `acdl-contracts` + `acdl-evidence` |
-| Native Pages | **None** (no `[pages]` config section) | Serve `acdl-evidence` via raw file URLs: `https://git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl-evidence/raw/branch/main/index.html`; `index.html` fetches `audit.json` from the same raw path. Requires `[cors] ENABLED=true` on the server if the UI is loaded cross-origin. |
-| Environments API | **None**; `jobs.<id>.environment` is ignored by act_runner | Model QA/Prod gates as `workflow_dispatch` approval inputs (D-004 / D-013); optionally create `qa` and `prod` branches as a visible stand-in |
-| `repository_dispatch` trigger | **Not supported** | Cross-repo trigger via `workflow_dispatch` API: `POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/workflows/{workflow_id}/dispatches` called from a step using `$GITEA_TOKEN` |
-| Reusable workflows (`workflow_call`) | Supported | `acdl/.gitea/workflows/pipeline.yml` called via `uses: continuous-intelligence/acdl/.gitea/workflows/pipeline.yml@milestone/v1.0-initial` |
-| `workflow_dispatch` | Supported (trigger + API) | Used for the manual-approval fallback and the issue workflow's cross-repo trigger |
-| `issues.opened` trigger | Supported | Drives the L3B issue-trigger workflow in `acdl-contracts` |
-| `act_runner` labels | Single label only (`runs-on: ubuntu-latest`) | All workflows use `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` |
-| Context | `${{ gitea.* }}` and `${{ github.* }}` both work | Workflows use `gitea.*` for clarity |
+| Environment | Autonomy | Attester | Gate |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| dev | Full autonomy (no HITL) | — | Confidence ≥ 0.50, all six inputs present |
+| qa | Held for attestation | QA | GitHub Deployment approval + full QA matrix (§10) |
+| prod | Held for attestation | SRE | GitHub Deployment approval + full SRE matrix (§10) |
+| dr | Held for attestation | SRE | GitHub Deployment approval + dr-drill evidence |
 
-### Branch pinning rule
+**Staging is removed.** Dev is the only autonomous environment.
 
-The reusable workflow in the `acdl` repo lives on `milestone/v1.0-initial`
-(that is the repo's default branch). `uses:` references from `acdl-contracts`
-must pin to `@milestone/v1.0-initial`, not `@main` (the `acdl` repo has no
-`main` branch). The new repos `acdl-contracts` and `acdl-evidence` use
-`default_branch: "main"` (D-015) so their default branch exists immediately
-for pushes.
+## Cross-cutting concerns
 
-### Default verification toolchain
+### Central pipeline template (§6)
+JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) with a thin domain wrapper. Central repo +
+generated client libraries. Multi-stage validation: schema → policy → NFR →
+confidence. Distributed enrichment. GitOps reconciler (K8s API; cdlc-gitops
+state → CRDs) + Terraform execution layer (§12.5). The pipeline emits one
+`PolicyCheckResult` per policy rule; the confidence signal consumes them as
+one normalized input.
 
-There is no `package.json`; ACDL is bash + python stubs. The verification gate
-substitutes `bash -n` and `python -m py_compile` for `npm run typecheck`, and
-per-phase `scripts/verify_phaseNN.sh` for `npm test`. `npm run build` is a
-no-op (no build step). See PERSONAS.md / VERIFICATION note.
+### Contract schema (§7)
+Central repo + generated client libraries. Strict fail-fast at schema
+stage, multi-stage validation with reason codes from a published
+vocabulary. **W3.E:** per-env mandatory inputs —
+- dev: `stack`, `environment`
+- qa adds: `validation.e2eSuite`, `validation.loadTest`
+- prod adds: `runbook`, `dashboard`, `oncall`
+- dr adds: `drDrillRef`
+- `inputs` always optional; `profile: agentic` fields optional everywhere.
 
-## L1 module schema (Phase 02 research)
+### Confidence signal (§8)
+Six canonical inputs, weighted sum with per-input breakdown. Per-env
+thresholds: dev ≥ 0.50, qa ≥ 0.75, prod ≥ 0.90, dr ≥ 0.95. Structured output
+`{ score, band, perInput, reasonCodes }`. 1-year storage, no retraining in
+v1. Halt with explicit reason on missing input.
 
-Each L1 module lives at `modules/l1/<name>/` with exactly two files:
+Policy input = list of `PolicyCheckResult` records (engine-agnostic).
+Severity → penalty: critical → hard override to mandatory block; high →
+-0.2; medium → -0.05; low → -0.01; info → 0.0. One critical finding
+hard-overrides the score regardless of all other inputs.
 
-- `manifest.yaml` — declares the L1's identity + a flat `inputs:` map.
-  Schema (D-017):
-  ```yaml
-  name: l1-eks-fargate        # matches the folder name
-  kind: l1                    # literal "l1"; substrate-agnostic
-  description: <one-line>
-  inputs:
-    <key>:
-      description: <one-line>
-      type: string            # only "string" allowed (flat, max-depth-1)
-  ```
-- `mock_apply.sh` — uniform stub per D-007 + D-018:
-  ```bash
-  #!/usr/bin/env bash
-  set -euo pipefail
-  echo "[L1: <name>] applying..."
-  sleep 1
-  echo "[L1: <name>] OK"
-  exit 0
-  ```
-  `mock_apply.sh` does NOT read input values; the manifest is for traceability
-  and for Phase 03's `mock_executor.sh` to enumerate the L1s in an L2.
+**BA.B:** thresholds frozen for v1; tuning begins v1.2 (quarterly FP/FN
+tracking; override = Infra & Ops + SRE joint sign-off, itself a
+confidence-event).
 
-### L1 list (fixed per REQ-02 / D-019)
+### Audit and evidence stream (§9)
+Tiered ledger: **S3 with Object Lock in compliance mode** (cold, source of
+truth, 7-year retention) + **GitHub audit repo** (`acdl-evidence`, hot
+query index, not part of the chain). Daily checkpoints. Event schema: JWS
+detached signature, `prev_event_hash` chain, controlled-vocabulary
+`event_type`. Outbox pattern: local durable outbox + async worker.
 
-| Folder | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `l1-eks-fargate` | Serverless container compute substrate |
-| `l1-iam-role` | Identity and access role primitive |
-| `l1-lambda` | Event-driven function primitive |
-| `l1-api-gateway` | HTTP routing primitive |
-| `l1-eventbridge` | Event bus primitive |
-| `l1-sqs` | Queue primitive |
-| `l1-s3` | Object store primitive |
-| `l1-cloudwatch` | Observability primitive |
+Outbox database = **DynamoDB**. RPO = 0 (synchronous write to local outbox
+before contract submission ack); RTO = async worker's dead-letter recovery.
+Single-region in v1. The outbox also stores per-contract QA and prod
+approver identities (the only durable record outside GitHub's audit log).
 
-L1 modules are single-purpose, substrate-agnostic, max-depth-1 (per
-PROJECT.md Constraints). They do not compose with other L1s.
+### Human-in-the-Loop mechanics (§10)
+Pre-execution gates. qa, prod, dr are PR-based attestation gates backed by
+GitHub Environments with required reviewers. No partial deployment to roll
+back on rejection (qa, prod); dr is a separate GitHub Deployment against a
+separate cluster/region.
 
-## L2 module schema + core scripts (Phase 03 research)
+Reviewer routing: GitHub CODEOWNERS + Environment required reviewers
+(qa → QA; prod → SRE; dr → SRE). CODEOWNERS routes, does not enforce
+identity distinctness.
 
-### L2 manifest.yaml schema (D-020)
+**Separation of duties** (platform-internal, not GitHub-native, not Kyverno
+in v1): on dev→qa promotion the platform writes the QA approver's GitHub
+identity to the DynamoDB outbox keyed by `contractId`; on qa→prod it reads
+the stored QA approver and the new SRE approver; if equal, it blocks, emits
+`SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION`, and routes a halt artifact to SRE on-call.
 
-```yaml
-name: l2-commodity-price-feed      # matches the folder name
-kind: l2                            # literal "l2"

-```
+Full 8-concern attestation matrix (functional, performance, security
+posture, contract NFRs, operational readiness, incident response,
+capacity/cost, resilience) — see `docs/architecture.md` §10.4.
 
-L2s reference L1s **by name only** (no path); `mock_executor.sh` resolves
-the name to `modules/l1/<name>/`.
+Timeout: 1 business day = warn + escalate; 2 business days = auto-freeze +
+re-submit (linked via `supersedes`). Rejection returns the contract to HELD;
+the audit chain is extended, not torn up.
 
-### L2 list (fixed per REQ-04)
+### Agentic stack (§11)
+Hybrid runtime: platform-managed control plane + consumer-owned agent.
+Versioned, signed skill catalog over MCP. Skill envelope enforced on
+invocation and result submission. Consumer-owned skill execution; the
+platform does not run the skill. Stateless agents, all state in the
+platform. Skills are reviewed for sensitive data before release (Infra &
+Ops owns the review; it is the mandatory release gate).

+### Angine execution (§12) — the binding constraint
+**Target Stack IR** (locked): a engine-neutral description of resources
+(typed inputs/outputs/NFRs), relationships (single parent per child),
+composition (tree, max depth 5), and policy hooks. The L1 registry, L2
+thin-composition tree, contract YML, and PolicyCheckResult schema are all
+defined against the IR — none against any specific engine.
 
-Each L2 references exactly 5 L1s (within the max-depth-5 constraint; L2→L1
-is depth 1, so depth-5 is generous but the spec caps composition depth at
-5 — the count is 5 to demonstrate a realistic composed stack).
+**Angine adapters** are the only engine-specific code. An adapter
+compiles the IR into a engine execution plan. **v1 ships exactly one
+adapter: the Terraform adapter.** v2+ may add OpenTofu, Pulumi, K8s CRDs
+without architectural change.
 
-### contract.yaml schema (D-021)
+v1 reality: the IR is shaped to round-trip cleanly to Terraform (nearly
+isomorphic). As more adapters appear, the IR gets more expressive and the
+adapters gain translation logic; the L1 content, the YML standard, and the
+thin-composition tree do not change.
 
-```yaml
-stack: l2-commodity-price-feed      # MUST match an existing L2 folder name
-inputs:                              # top-level params for the L2 (optional)
-  environment: dev
-  owner: platform-team
-public-ingress: false                # bool; true triggers POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS
-```
+**Terraform adapter (v1):** translates IR-typed L1 interface → Terraform
+`variable`/`output` blocks; IR-typed L2 thin-composition tree → Terraform
+root module; IR-typed relationships → module references; emits a
+`terraform plan` from the IR. The adapter is a thin layer; it does not own
+L1/L2 content.
 
-The `public-ingress` key is the only policy-enforced field in Phase 03.
-Phase 04's pipeline reads `contract.yaml`, runs `policy_checker.py`, then
-`mock_executor.sh` to apply the L2.
+State storage: S3 (state) + DynamoDB (locking), cloud-managed,
+single-region in v1.
 
-### state.json shape (D-022)
+Policy toolchain: **Checkov** for Terraform plan policy (the L2 checks +
+tag/naming); **Kyverno** for K8s-native/platform-internal policy; **OPA**
+reserved for cross-resource cases, explicitly last resort.
 
-`mock_executor.sh` writes `state.json` to its working directory:
+**Policy result normalization (§12.6):** the confidence signal consumes a
+normalized `PolicyCheckResult` schema, not raw engine output.

-### audit.json event + hash chain (D-023)
+Execution layer: GitHub/Gitea Actions in the central pipeline repo. State
+locking via DynamoDB. **AWS credentials via OIDC federation — long-lived
+credentials are forbidden** (§12.5). The platform does not run
+`terraform apply` against a developer's workstation; all execution is in
+the central pipeline.
 
-`audit.json` is a JSON array of event objects. `evidence_writer.py`
-appends one event per call. Hash chain:
+Registry maintenance: L1 publication updates the L1 registry in the same
+PR. The registry is the IR-typed contract, not a Terraform-specific
+variable schema.
 
-1. Construct the event dict with `hash` set to empty string.
-2. Serialize via `json.dumps(event, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))` — canonical JSON (deterministic key order, no whitespace).
-3. Compute `hash = sha256(canonical_json.encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()`.
-4. Set `event["hash"] = hash`.
-5. Append to `audit.json`.
+Contract→IR resolution: the contract declares intent in IR-typed terms;
+the pipeline resolves it to a target stack (list of L1 instances + inputs +
+relationships); the Terraform adapter compiles the target stack to a plan.
 
-Genesis event (when `audit.json` is empty or missing):
+## v1.1 spike scope
 
-```json
-{
-  "seq": 0,
-  "ts": "2026-07-21T13:00:00Z",
-  "stage": "genesis",
-  "event": "audit log initialized",
-  "prev_hash": "GENESIS",
-  "hash": "<sha256 of the canonical json of this event with hash empty>"
-}
-```
+The spike (Phases 08–10) materializes the **minimum** that proves the IR
+commitments hold (no polyglot mess):
 
-Subsequent events: `seq = prev.seq + 1`, `prev_hash = prev.hash`.
+- One L1: `l1-s3` (IR-typed interface; the only AWS resource in the spike).
+- One L2 thin-composition: `l2-static-assets` (references `l1-s3` only).
+- Terraform adapter: IR → `terraform plan` against AWS via OIDC.
+- One contract submission → contract→IR → `terraform plan` → Checkov
+  `PolicyCheckResult` → confidence signal → evidence event to the DynamoDB
+  outbox.
+- State: S3 + DynamoDB (real AWS, single-region).
 
-### Core script I/O contracts
+Out of spike scope: full HITL matrix wiring, Kyverno, OPA, MCP skill
+catalog, GitOps reconciler, multi-region, prod/dr environments, the 5-skill
+L3B catalog. Those are post-spike (v1.2+) platform build-out.
 
-| Script | Input | Output | Exit |
-|--------|-------|--------|------|
-| `mock_executor.sh` | `<contract.yaml path>` (argv[1]); reads L2 manifest from `modules/l2/<contract.stack>/manifest.yaml` | writes `state.json` to cwd; prints per-L1 progress | 0 on all-L1s-pass; non-zero on any L1 failure |
-| `policy_checker.py` | `<contract.yaml path>` (argv[1]) | stdout: `POLICY_PASS` or `POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS` | 0 on pass; 1 on violation |
-| `confidence_signal.py` | `<contract.yaml path>` (argv[1]); calls policy_checker | stdout: `{"score": 0.90|0.40, "reason": "..."}` | 0 always (per D-024; pipeline decides gate) |
-| `evidence_writer.py` | argv: `--stage <dev|qa|prod|finalize|genesis>` `--event "<text>"` `--audit <path to audit.json>` (default `./audit.json`) | appends event to audit.json; prints the new event's hash + seq | 0 on success; 1 on I/O error |
-| `l3b_agent_stub.py` | argv[1] = issue body text (or stdin if no argv); optional `-o <path>` (default stdout) | writes a `contract.yaml` (D-021 schema) with `stack` set by the D-008 keyword map | 0 on success; 1 on empty input |
+## Gitea API surface (carried from v1.0, refined)
+
+| Capability | Gitea support | ACDL approach (v1.1) |
+|------------|---------------|----------------------|
+| Org-scoped repo create | `POST /api/v1/orgs/{org}/repos` | Used for any new repos |
+| Native Pages | **None** | Serve `acdl-evidence` via raw file URLs (unchanged from v1.0) |
+| Environments API | **None**; act_runner ignores `environment:` | Model HITL gates via `workflow_dispatch` approval inputs (v1.0 D-013 pattern) — **refined in Phase 07** for the real pre-execution gate model |
+| `repository_dispatch` | Not supported | Cross-repo trigger via `workflow_dispatch` API (unchanged) |
+| Reusable workflows | Supported | `acdl/.gitea/workflows/pipeline.yml` via `uses: ...@<ref>` |
+| `id-token: write` / OIDC | **Not supported** (RESEARCH TARGET 1, conf 0.95). Gitea docs list `id-token` as an unsupported GitHub-only scope; open proposal go-gitea/gitea#33681; draft PR go-gitea/gitea#36988 unmerged. Even Gitea's own CI uses long-lived AWS keys (issue #37980). | **Spike waiver D-039:** per-run-rotated long-lived key (rotated after each run by `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`). Real OIDC deferred to v1.2, blocked on PR #36988. |
+| `actions/configure-aws-credentials` | Unusable without OIDC | Spike uses static AWS creds from a (rotated) Gitea Actions secret via the `aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4` `access-key-id`/`secret-access-key` inputs, or plain `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` env vars. v1.2 switches to `role-to-assume` when OIDC lands. |
+
+### Branch pinning rule (refined for W2.A)
+
+- Dev/qa contracts reference the reusable workflow by **tag**
+  (`@v1.1-spike`).
+- Prod-bound workflows reference by **SHA**; the platform CLI
+  (`platform/cli/resolve-tag.ts`, Phase 07) resolves the current tag to its
+  SHA. (Spike scope: the CLI is a stub; the real CLI lands in v1.2.)
+
+### Verification toolchain
+
+ACDL has no `package.json`. The verification gate substitutes:
+- **typecheck:** `terraform validate`, `python3 -m py_compile`, JSON Schema
+  validation (`ajv` or `python -m jsonschema`) against `schemas/`.
+- **test:** per-phase `scripts/verify_phaseNN.sh` (Phase 06: archive integrity;
+  Phase 07: schema validation + decision-resolution completeness; Phase 08:
+  OIDC assume-role + state backend; Phase 09: IR + L1 + adapter `terraform
+  plan`; Phase 10: end-to-end contract submission).
+- **build:** `terraform init` (real build for the spike).
+- See `PERSONAS.md` verification_toolchain.
+
+## Build order (v1.1)
+
+1. Phase 06 — archive demo, reorient repo.
+2. Phase 07 — finalize architecture v1.0; author schemas + designs.
+3. Phase 08 — AWS OIDC bootstrap (use temp key once, rotate).
+4. Phase 09 — IR + `l1-s3` + Terraform adapter → `terraform plan`.
+5. Phase 10 — `l2-static-assets` + contract→IR → end-to-end spike.
+6. COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.2.0` → audit. **DONE.**
+
+## v1.2 build-out scope
+
+v1.2 takes the v1.1 spike (dev-only, `plan`-only, single S3 L1) to a real,
+simpler, better-documented platform that delivers a microservice to AWS ECS
+Fargate end-to-end. The locked architecture (§1–§12) is unchanged — v1.2
+extends the *implementation*, not the design.
+
+### In scope (five axes, user-directed 2026-07-21)
+
+1. **Re-evaluate the current state.** go-gitea/gitea#36988 (OIDC for Gitea
+   Actions) re-checked 2026-07-21: still **open** (last updated 2026-05-27,
+   not merged). Real OIDC remains deferred to v1.3+; v1.2 extends the D-039
+   per-run-rotated-key waiver as **D-047**. The waiver continues to satisfy
+   §12.5's *intent* (no *persistently* long-lived key): the spike key is
+   rotated after each run by `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`, and Phase 12
+   tightens the IAM scoping + rotation hygiene.
+2. **NFR improvements on the existing spike.** Least-privilege IAM audit of
+   `spike_runner_policy.json`; idempotent `create_state_backend.py` /
+   `create_iam_user.py`; proper exit codes / error handling; P1-1 redaction
+   (two AWS access key IDs in `.ciagent/VERIFY.md` Phase 09 narrative).
+3. **Streamline / simplify the current setup.** Consolidate
+   `run_spike_plan.sh` + `run_spike_e2e.sh` into one
+   `scripts/run_platform.sh`; remove dead code and stale `platform/` paths.
+4. **README.md fully up to date on how the platform works.** Reflect v1.1
+   complete; document the actual spike flow, `scripts/run_platform.sh`, the
+   real repo layout, and the v1.2 objective.
+5. **Bootstrap a consumer repo with a basic microservice deployed to ECS
+   end-to-end.** New Gitea repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` (org
+   `continuous-intelligence`); new IR-typed L1s (`l1-vpc`, `l1-ecs-cluster`,
+   `l1-ecs-service`, `l1-iam-role`, `l1-alb`, `l1-ecr`); new
+   `l2-microservice` thin-composition; one contract submission →
+   `terraform apply` (dev, autonomous per §10, confidence ≥ 0.50) → a live
+   ECS Fargate service serving HTTP 200 → evidence event to the DynamoDB
+   outbox → acdl-evidence timeline.
+
+### Angine extension (ECS Fargate)
+
+The Terraform adapter (§12) remains the only engine-specific code. v1.2
+expands the adapter `TYPE_MAP` to cover the six new ECS-shaped IR resource
+types. The L1 interface shape (IR-typed inputs/outputs/NFRs, registered in
+`modules-ir/registry.json`) is unchanged — only the set of registered L1s
+grows. The IR commitments (REQ-28) continue to hold: `modules-ir/`,
+`schemas/`, `contracts/`, `core/confidence_signal.py`,
+`core/contract_resolver.py`, `core/outbox_writer.py`
+remain engine-agnostic.
+
+### `terraform apply` (dev only)
+
+v1.2 lifts the engine execution from `plan` to `apply` for the `dev`
+environment only. Dev is autonomous per §10 (confidence ≥ 0.50, no HITL).
+`apply` for qa/prod/dr remains HITL-gated and out of scope for v1.2. The
+apply result (resources created, plan diff) is captured in the evidence
+stream as a `terraform.apply` event.
+
+### Out of scope for v1.2 (deferred to v1.3+)
+
+| Feature | Reason |
+|---------|--------|
+| Real OIDC federation | go-gitea/gitea#36988 still open. v1.2 extends D-039 waiver (D-047); real OIDC is v1.3+. |
+| Full HITL matrix wiring (qa/prod/dr) | v1.2 is dev-only autonomous `apply`; HITL wiring is v1.3. |
+| Kyverno + OPA policy engines | v1.2 keeps Checkov only; Kyverno/OPA are v1.3. |
+| MCP skill catalog + real L3B agent | v1.2 keeps the L3B stub; the 5-skill catalog is v1.3. |
+| Audit ledger build-out (S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints) | v1.2 keeps the v1.1 outbox; the regulatory ledger is v1.3. |
+| Multi-region state / outbox | Single-region in v1 (§9, §12.3); multi-region is v1.3+. |
+| Prod/dr environments | v1.2 is dev-only; prod/dr are v1.3. |
+| GitOps reconciler (ArgoCD/Flux) | v1.3+. |
+
+## Build order (v1.2)
+
+1. Phase 11 — re-eval #36988 + NFR audit + simplification findings + README rewrite.
+2. Phase 12 — NFR harden + simplify (idempotent bootstrap, one `run_platform.sh`, IAM audit, redactions).
+3. Phase 13 — six ECS L1s + adapter `TYPE_MAP` expansion.
+4. Phase 14 — `l2-microservice` + contract schema extension.
+5. Phase 15 — consumer repo + `terraform apply` (dev) → live ECS service.
+6. Phase 16 — capstone e2e: consumer commit → live HTTP 200 → evidence → timeline.
+7. COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.3.0` → audit.
+
+## v1.8 Architecture Addendum
+
+> Milestone v1.8 (complete, tag `v1.8.0`). Adds encryption-by-default,
+> deletion-protection-by-default, uptime monitoring, decommission alias,
+> engineering standards, and path documentation.
+
+### New Primitives
+
+- **`kms-key`** (`aws:kms:key`) — Per-stack customer-managed KMS key with
+  `enable_key_rotation = true`. One key per L2 deployment (no shared keys).
+  Wired into both L2 compositions as a child, with its `kms_key_arn` output
+  connected to all children's `kms_key_arn` input. Adapter emits
+  `aws_kms_key` + `enable_key_rotation`.
+- **`uptime`** (`aws:ecs:uptime-service`) — Uptime-kuma on ECS Fargate with
+  a feature flag (`feature_flag_enabled`), monitored endpoints (HTTP/DNS/TCP),
+  alert channels (Teams/email/SMS/GitHub issues). Deployed by default after
+  any L2 module with a separate terraform state. When the feature flag is
+  false, the adapter emits no resources.
+
+### Encryption by Default
+
+All 12 L1 primitives have `encryption_enabled` NFR (default true). Primitives
+with at-rest data (s3, rds, ecr, ecs-service, ecs-cluster) have an optional
+`kms_key_arn` input. The adapter emits encryption blocks (SSE-KMS for S3,
+storage_encrypted for RDS, encryption_configuration for ECR) referencing the
+per-stack CMK when provided. Managed KMS fallback with stderr warning for
+standalone L1 deployments.
+
+### Deletion Protection by Default
+
+All 12 L1 primitives have `deletion_protection` NFR (default true). The
+adapter emits `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true }` when true. L2 modules
+expose a `features.deletion_protection` flag (default true) propagated to
+all children via the resolver. Setting `inputs.deletion_protection: false`
+in the contract disables it for the whole stack.
+
+### Decommission Alias
+
+A `mode: decommission` on the deploy pipeline implements a 2-step destroy:
+1. Disable deletion protection (resolve with `deletion_protection: false`,
+   terraform plan/apply, HITL SRE gate via GitHub environment).
+2. Zero counts + destroy (`decommission_transform` zeroes all scalable counts,
+   terraform plan/apply, second HITL SRE gate).
+
+CMDB validation via DynamoDB `acdl-change-requests` table. The Lambda
+`validate_change_request` action queries the table and asserts
+`status == "approved"` + `consumerRepo` match.
+
+### Adapter Expansion
+
+TYPE_MAP grew from 16 to 19 entries (+ `aws:kms:key`, `aws:kms:alias`,
+`aws:ecs:uptime-service`). Specialized emission branches added for KMS key
+rotation, S3 SSE-KMS configuration, uptime ECS Fargate task, and
+`prevent_destroy` lifecycle on all resources.
+
+### Pipeline Stages
+
+The deploy pipeline grew from 8 to 9 stages (+ `deploy-uptime` after
+`publish-outputs`). The `deploy-uptime` stage constructs a synthetic uptime
+contract from the L2 stack outputs, resolves + adapts it to a separate
+terraform state directory, and publishes the uptime URL via PR comment.
+
+### Forge-Agnostic API URLs
+
+The platform Lambda (`contract_ingestor.py`) reads `GITHUB_API_BASE` env
+for forge-agnostic API URLs. GitHub uses `/search/issues`; Gitea uses
+`/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues`. Detection via `/api/v1` in the base URL.
+
+## v1.9 Addendum (2026-07-23)
+
+### New Components
+
+- **`core/contract_resolver.py` interpolation** (D-081): the resolver
+  now expands `${env.<field>}` + `${contract.<field>}` tokens
+  post-schema-validation, pre-IR-resolution. The env context is the
+  loaded environment onboarding JSON (`core/environments/<name>.json`,
+  schema `schemas/environment.schema.json`). The resolver's
+  `child_input_map` routes L2 wires to the sub-resource that declares the
+  input (P1-1 — `desired_count` → `aws:ecs:service`, `family` →
+  `aws:ecs:task_definition`).
+- **`core/environment_check.py` `load()`** (REQ-104): loads + returns the
+  parsed environment JSON; emits a stderr warning for placeholder
+  `account_id` when env != dev.
+- **`core/hitl_gates.py`** (REQ-108, D-084): the HITL pre-execution
+  attestation gate. Records the approver identity to the DynamoDB outbox
+  (`approver_qa`/`approver_prod`/`approver_dr`), runs the separation-of-
+  duties check on prod, invokes the attestation matrix, returns
+  `(ok, reason)`. Dev skips (autonomous). `run_platform.sh` calls
+  `attest` before apply for qa/prod/dr.
+- **`core/attestation_matrix.py`** (REQ-109, D-084): the 8-concern
+  attestation matrix from `hitl_matrix_design.md` §10.4. Offline-testable
+  concerns (contract NFRs, schema validity, policy pass) run for real;
+  operator-supplied concerns accept signed evidence artifacts validated
+  for freshness + schema. Signature verification skips when
+  `ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID` is unset (D-089).
+- **`core/separation_of_duties.py` `route_halt_artifact`** (REQ-107):
+  real SNS publish (`acdl-sod-halt` topic, ARN from
+  `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN`) + outbox fallback
+  (`SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION` event). The SNS topic is defined in
+  `terraform/platform/main.tf`.
+- **`adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` `WizClient`** (REQ-110): real GraphQL
+  API client (`<WIZ_API_URL>/graphql`, Bearer auth, pagination via
+  `pageInfo.hasNextPage`). `fetch_and_adapt` translates issues →
+  `PolicyCheckResult`. Graceful degrade when unconfigured.
+- **`adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py`** (REQ-111): fleshed-out
+  `PolicyReport` → `PolicyCheckResult` mapping (pass/fail/skip/warn +
+  severity + skip-with-reason + resource construction). Inactive-for-TF
+  guard preserved.
+
+### Per-Environment Promotion (D-082)
+
+The deploy workflow (`.github/workflows/deploy.yml` +
+`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`, byte-identical) declares an `environment`
+`workflow_call` input. When non-empty, `run_platform.sh --environment
+<name>` overrides the contract's `environment` field before schema
+validation (D-088). One CI job per environment; promotion = running the
+matching job, no `environment:` field editing. Per-env contract files
+(`contracts/<module>.<env>.yaml`) use interpolation for env-specific
+values.
+
+### Adapter Parameterization (P1-1, D-085)
+
+The adapter (`adapters/terraform/adapter.py`) reads ECS/ALB/VPC defaults
+from L1 `interface.json` inputs (`desired_count`, `launch_type`,
+`family`, `target_type`, `load_balancer_type`, `name`). The adapter is a
+thin translator; the `child_input_map` routes wires to the declaring
+sub-resource.
+
+### Deferred (D-083)
+
+S3 Object Lock + JWS detached signatures + async worker + DLQ + daily
+checkpoints (audit ledger build-out) — deferred to a future milestone.
+The hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox path remains the v1.9 production audit
+record.

+# ACDL v1.9 — Audit Report
+
+> Audit date: 2026-07-23. Auditor: ci-debugger. Milestone: v1.9. Result: PASS.
+
+## Step 1: Reconstruction Test
+
+- 16 v1.9 commits with `---ci---` blocks (specify → clarify → research →
+  plan → execute ×4 phases → verify/complete → review-fix).
+- Reconstructed state: milestone v1.9, phase 43, status complete.
+- Pipeline stages traversed: specify → clarify → research → plan → execute → verify → complete.
+- Decisions D-080..D-089 all present in git log + `.ciagent/` files.
+- config.json (v1.9 complete), PROJECT.md (v1.9 complete), REQUIREMENTS.md
+  (v1.9 complete, 12 reqs), ROADMAP.md (v1.9 complete, phases 39–43),
+  REVIEW.md (READY TO SHIP), PERSONAS.md (v1.9), VERIFY.md, AUDIT.md.
+**PASS.**
+
+## Step 2: File Discipline
+
+- `.ciagent/config.json`: valid JSON; mode, projects[] present. **PASS.**
+- `.ciagent/PROJECT.md`: Vision/Core Value (≡ "What This Is"), Key
+  Decisions (v1.9 D-080..D-086), Requirements, Constraints, per-milestone
+  Objective sections (≡ "Milestones") present. Section names follow the
+  v1.0 established conventions (not the generic audit template). **PASS.**
+- `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md`: phases 39–43 present; all marked complete.
+  **PASS.**
+- `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md`: v1.9 traceability table complete (12/12
+  REQ-100..111 marked `complete (v1.9.0)`). **PASS.**
+- `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md`: **fixed during audit** — v1.9 addendum
+  added covering all new components (contract_resolver interpolation,
+  environment_check.load, hitl_gates, attestation_matrix,
+  separation_of_duties.route_halt_artifact, WizClient, kyverno_adapter,
+  per-environment promotion, adapter parameterization, deferred D-083).
+  All 9 v1.9 code components now referenced. **PASS (after fix).**
+
+## Step 3: Branch Hygiene
+
+- Local: `main` only. Remote: `origin/main` only.
+- No phase or milestone branches remain (all 5 v1.9 phase branches merged
+  + pruned during the run/ship workflow).
+- No orphan branches.
+**PASS.**
+
+## Step 4: Commit Discipline
+
+- 16/16 v1.9 commits have `---ci---` blocks with project/phase/milestone/
+  status fields.
+- No stale implementation decisions (D-081..D-085, D-087..D-089 all have
+  code refs; D-080 + D-086 are process/meta decisions correctly living in
+  `.ciagent/` files).
+- No unresolved v1.9 escalations (the 3 `audit(...)` commits in history
+  are from prior milestones v1.0/v1.6/v1.7).
+**PASS.**
+
+## Issues fixed during audit
+
+1. **ARCHITECTURE.md missing v1.9 addendum** — the architecture doc had
+   no coverage of the v1.9 new components (hitl_gates, attestation_matrix,
+   interpolation, per-env promotion, adapter parameterization, Wiz/Kyverno
+   flesh-outs). Fixed: added a v1.9 addendum section covering all 9 new
+   code components + the per-env promotion model + the deferred D-083
+   items. Verified all 9 components now referenced.

-### infra-stub-engineer (custom)
-- **Domain:** backend
+### platform-engineer (custom)
+- **Domain:** infra
 - **Active:** true
 - **Phase-specific:** false
-- **Frameworks:** bash, yaml
-- **Constraints:** mock-only, echo-contract-from-D-007, sleep-1s-exit-0, substrate-agnostic, single-purpose
-- **Territory:** `modules/l1/**`
-- **Reason:** Created to own L1 stub modules (Phase 02) and their uniform mock_apply.sh behavior per D-007. Domain is backend (bash stubs) but territory is strictly L1 modules to keep L1/L2 concerns separated from workflow YAML.
+- **Frameworks:** terraform, aws-iam, aws-s3, aws-dynamodb, aws-lambda, aws-cloudfront, aws-waf, aws-ssm, aws-secretsmanager, oidc, json-schema
+- **Constraints:** ir-is-engine-agnostic, adapter-is-only-engine-specific-code, state-in-s3+dynamodb-single-region, oidc-only-no-long-lived-keys (waiver D-034 for bootstrap), terraform-plan-only-in-spike, cross-account-iam-scoped-via-abac
+- **Territory:** `adapters/terraform/**`, `modules/**` (l1 + l2 + registry.json + examples), `terraform/**` (state backend, provider config, platform infra), `modules/registry.json`
+- **Reason:** Owns the Target Stack IR, the L1/L2 IR-typed modules (incl. new cloudfront + waf + rds primitives), the Terraform adapter (TYPE_MAP expansion for cloudfront/waf/rds), the AWS OIDC bootstrap, the state backend, and the platform Terraform (Lambda + DynamoDB + KMS + Secrets Manager + Function URL). The IR is engine-agnostic; the adapter is the only engine-specific code (the binding constraint per §12).

+- **Territory:** `core/lambda/**` (contract_ingestor.py + handler), `terraform/platform/main.tf` (Lambda + Function URL + DynamoDB + KMS + Secrets Manager + IAM + acdl-change-requests table + acdl-sod-halt SNS topic), `terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json`, `terraform/platform/variables.tf`
+- **Reason:** Reactivated for v1.9 Phase 42 (acdl-sod-halt SNS topic for `route_halt_artifact`, defined in `terraform/platform/main.tf`). The Lambda is stateless; all state is in DynamoDB. Forge-agnostic API URLs (GitHub + Gitea) via GITHUB_API_BASE env var. Removed from the roster after milestone COMPLETE (the code persists, but the persona is no longer active).

+- **Domain:** frontend
+- **Active:** true
+- **Phase-specific:** false
+- **Frameworks:** vanilla-js, dom-api, fetch-api
+- **Constraints:** no-frameworks, single-file, fetch-from-same-origin-raw-url, relative-url-for-audit-json
+- **Territory:** `evidence-ui/**` (the timeline UI; pushed to `acdl-evidence`)
+- **Reason:** Owns the evidence timeline UI (`index.html`). Carried over from v1.0; the UI continues to render the audit stream. The v1.7 spike writes events to the DynamoDB outbox; the UI continues to read `audit.json` published to `acdl-evidence`.
 
 ## Deactivated personas
 
+### infra-stub-engineer (custom, v1.0 only)
+- **Domain:** backend
+- **Active:** false
+- **Reason:** Owned L1 stub modules (`modules/l1/**`) in the v1.0 demo. The demo is archived to `demo/` in Phase 06; real L1 modules (`modules-ir/l1/**`, now `modules/l1/**`) are owned by platform-engineer (engine-agnostic IR + Terraform adapter). The stub engineer is no longer needed.
+- **Phase-specific:** false (was v1.0)
+- **Territory (would have been):** `demo/modules/l1/**`
+
 ### data-engineer
 - **Domain:** data
 - **Active:** false
-- **Reason:** No persistence layer. ACDL state is flat JSON files (`audit.json`, `state.json`) written by bash/python scripts; no ORM, no migrations, no DB. Schema contracts live in `manifest.yaml` (owned by backend-engineer / infra-stub-engineer).
+- **Reason:** No ORM/persistence framework. The v1.7 contract-ingestion table is DynamoDB but accessed via boto3 inside `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` (owned by lambda-engineer); the outbox is DynamoDB accessed via `core/outbox_writer.py` (owned by backend-engineer); the audit ledger is S3 Object Lock + JWS (owned by security-engineer). No schema-migration layer, no ORM, no data-engineer territory.
 - **Phase-specific:** false
 - **Frameworks:** (would have been: drizzle, prisma)
 - **Constraints:** (would have been: schema-first, type-safe-orm)
 - **Territory:** (would have been: `**/db/**`, `**/migrations/**`)
 
-### frontend-engineer
-- **Domain:** frontend
-- **Active:** false
-- **Reason:** No UI in Phases 01-04. The single UI artifact (`index.html`, vanilla JS) is built in Phase 05. frontend-engineer is reactivated for Phase 05 only (see Phase-specific overrides below).
-- **Phase-specific:** true (reactivates in Phase 05)
-- **Frameworks:** vanilla-js, dom-api, fetch-api
-- **Constraints:** no-frameworks, single-file, fetch-from-same-origin-raw-url
-- **Territory:** `acdl-evidence/index.html` (Phase 05)

 ## Domain priority (used by TaskDecomposer)
 
-`coordination -> backend -> infra-stub-engineer -> frontend-engineer (Phase 05 only)`
+`coordination → security → platform → backend → lambda → frontend`
+
+Rationale: in v1.9, the security commitments (HITL gates, attestation
+matrix, SoD halt artifact, Wiz/Kyverno adapters) and the design-doc
+accuracy are the binding constraints; platform owns the P1-1 adapter
+parameterization + L1 interface inputs; backend owns the contract
+interpolation + per-env CI jobs + the deploy workflow env input;
+lambda owns the SNS topic Terraform; frontend is unchanged from v1.0
+(evidence timeline).
 
 ## Conflict resolutions (lead-developer arbitration)
 
-- `backend-engineer` vs `infra-stub-engineer` over `modules/l2/**/manifest.yaml`: backend-engineer owns L2 manifests; infra-stub-engineer owns L1 manifests. No overlap.
-- `backend-engineer` vs `frontend-engineer` over `acdl-evidence/index.html`: frontend-engineer owns the file in Phase 05; backend-engineer provides the `audit.json` schema contract (event shape) via `evidence_writer.py` and a `SCHEMA.md` note in ARCHITECTURE.md.
-- `lead-developer` vs any: lead-developer owns `.ciagent/**` and verification scripts; persona engineers do not edit CIAgent metadata.
+- `backend-engineer` vs `platform-engineer` over `schemas/ir.schema.json` + `schemas/stack.schema.json`: platform-engineer owns the IR (engine-agnostic but infra-shaped); backend-engineer owns the contract schema and the contract→IR resolution. Co-authoring is expected; conflict goes to lead-developer.
+- `backend-engineer` vs `security-engineer` over `core/confidence_signal.py`: security-engineer owns the severity→penalty mapping + critical-override semantics; backend-engineer owns the 6-input weighted sum + per-env thresholds. Co-owned; conflicts go to lead-developer.
+- `platform-engineer` vs `security-engineer` over `adapters/terraform/policy/**`: security-engineer owns the Checkov→PolicyCheckResult adapter + custom rules + the Wiz/Kyverno adapters (policy is a security concern); platform-engineer owns the Terraform adapter (engine translation). No overlap.
+- `lambda-engineer` vs `platform-engineer` over `terraform/platform/main.tf`: lambda-engineer owns the Lambda + DynamoDB + Secrets Manager definitions; platform-engineer reviews the Terraform structure + state backend. Co-authoring expected; conflicts go to lead-developer.
+- `backend-engineer` vs `lambda-engineer` over `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` vs `scripts/run_platform.sh` + `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` error-report step: lambda-engineer owns the Lambda handler; backend-engineer owns the workflow step that invokes it. The interface (the JSON payload) is co-authored; conflicts go to lead-developer.
+- `lead-developer` vs any: lead-developer owns `.ciagent/**` + `docs/**` meta + verification scripts; persona engineers do not edit CIAgent metadata or the vision/architecture source docs.
 
 ## Territory enforcement mode
 
-`warn` — config.json has no `personas.territory_enforcement` field, so the default per execute.md is `warn`. Cross-territory edits are logged in the commit message but do not fail the task.
+`warn` — config.json has no `personas.territory_enforcement` field, so the
+default per execute.md is `warn`. Cross-territory edits are logged in the
+commit message but do not fail the task. v1.7's broad scope means
+co-authoring across territories is likely (e.g. lambda + platform on
+`terraform/platform/main.tf`); `warn` keeps it frictionless.

-# Phase 03 — l2-modules-and-core-scripts PLAN
+# ACDL v1.9 — Phase Plans
 
-## Goal
-
-Create the 4 L2 composition modules and the 5 core scripts. After this
-phase, the demo has every primitive needed for Phase 04 to wire the
-pipeline and Phase 05 to render the evidence UI.
-
-## Requirements covered
-
-- REQ-04: 4 L2 modules under modules/l2/ composing L1s
-- REQ-05: L2s compose L1s, max depth 5
-- REQ-06: mock_executor.sh reads L2 + invokes L1s + writes state.json
-- REQ-07: policy_checker.py fails on public-ingress:true
-- REQ-08: confidence_signal.py 0.90/0.40 + gate ≥ 0.50
-- REQ-11: evidence_writer.py SHA-256 hash chain
-
-## Waves (vertical slices, domain priority order)
-
-### Wave 1 — infra-stub-engineer (4 L2 manifests)
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- **T-3.1** Create `modules/l2/l2-invoice-service/manifest.yaml` (L1s: l1-eks-fargate, l1-iam-role, l1-lambda, l1-sqs, l1-s3)
-- **T-3.2** Create `modules/l2/l2-commodity-price-feed/manifest.yaml` (L1s: l1-eks-fargate, l1-lambda, l1-api-gateway, l1-eventbridge, l1-s3)
-- **T-3.3** Create `modules/l2/l2-energy-analytics-api/manifest.yaml` (L1s: l1-eks-fargate, l1-api-gateway, l1-lambda, l1-s3, l1-cloudwatch)
-- **T-3.4** Create `modules/l2/l2-regulatory-reporting/manifest.yaml` (L1s: l1-eks-fargate, l1-iam-role, l1-lambda, l1-sqs, l1-s3)
-
-Each manifest declares plausible `inputs` per L1 (string map per D-017).
-Remove `modules/l2/.gitkeep` in T-3.1.
-
-**Files owned:** `modules/l2/**`
-
-**Commits:** one per task, `phase: 3, status: plan-as-execute, persona: infra-stub-engineer, task: T-3.x, requirements.covered: [REQ-04, REQ-05]`.
-
-### Wave 2 — backend-engineer (5 core scripts)
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- **T-3.5** Create `scripts/policy_checker.py` — reads contract.yaml (argv[1]); if `public-ingress: true`, print `POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS` and exit 1; else print `POLICY_PASS` and exit 0. Use only stdlib (yaml is available). Idempotent, no side effects.
-- **T-3.6** Create `scripts/confidence_signal.py` — reads contract.yaml (argv[1]); calls policy_checker as a subprocess; if pass → `{"score": 0.90, "reason": "POLICY_PASS"}`, if fail → `{"score": 0.40, "reason": "POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS"}`. Print JSON to stdout. Exit 0 always.
-- **T-3.7** Create `scripts/evidence_writer.py` — argv flags `--stage`, `--event`, `--audit <path>` (default `./audit.json`). Loads audit.json (or empty list), computes the new event with canonical-JSON SHA-256 hash chain per D-023, appends, writes back atomically (write tmp + rename). Prints `{"seq": N, "hash": "..."}` to stdout. Genesis event automatically inserted if the file is empty/missing.
-- **T-3.8** Create `scripts/mock_executor.sh` — argv[1] = contract.yaml path. Reads contract.stack, resolves `modules/l2/<stack>/manifest.yaml`, iterates `l1s`, invokes `modules/l1/<name>/mock_apply.sh` for each, captures exit code, writes `state.json` per D-022. Exit 0 if all L1s exit 0; non-zero otherwise.
-- **T-3.9** Create `scripts/l3b_agent_stub.py` — argv[1] = issue body (or read stdin if absent); optional `-o <path>` (default stdout). Applies the D-008 keyword map; writes a contract.yaml (D-021 schema) with `stack` set to the mapped L2 name and a fixed `inputs:` map per stack. Exit 0 on success, 1 on empty input.
-
-**Files owned:** `scripts/policy_checker.py`, `scripts/confidence_signal.py`, `scripts/evidence_writer.py`, `scripts/mock_executor.sh`, `scripts/l3b_agent_stub.py`
-
-**Commits:** one per task, `phase: 3, status: plan-as-execute, persona: backend-engineer, task: T-3.x, requirements.covered: [REQ-06/07/08/11/12]`.
-
-### Wave 3 — lead-developer (verify script + traceability)
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- **T-3.10** Create `scripts/verify_phase03.sh`. Checks:
-  1. Exactly 4 L2 folders with the expected names.
-  2. Each L2 manifest.yaml parses, name matches folder, kind=l2, l1s is a list of 5 entries, all referenced L1 names exist in modules/l1/.
-  3. policy_checker.py on a passing contract → exit 0 + `POLICY_PASS`; on `public-ingress: true` contract → exit 1 + `POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS`.
-  4. confidence_signal.py on passing contract → `{"score": 0.90, ...}`; on failing contract → `{"score": 0.40, ...}`. Both exit 0.
-  5. mock_executor.sh on a sample contract → writes state.json with l2 + l1s (all applied=true, exit_code=0) + contract fields.
-  6. evidence_writer.py: append 3 events to a temp audit.json; verify seq increments 0/1/2, prev_hash chain links, each hash matches a recompute.
-  7. l3b_agent_stub.py on the Act 3 example issue text ("We need to ingest natural gas prices from Platts...") → emits a contract.yaml with `stack: l2-commodity-price-feed`.
-- **T-3.11** Update `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` (REQ-04/05/06/07/08/11 → covered pending VERIFY) and `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` (Phase 03 → executing).
-

 ## Wave ordering
 
-- Wave 1 (infra-stub-engineer) creates the 4 L2 manifests first so mock_executor.sh has something to resolve.
-- Wave 2 (backend-engineer) builds the 5 core scripts. policy_checker + confidence_signal have no L2 dependency; mock_executor depends on Wave 1; l3b_agent_stub is independent.
-- Wave 3 (lead-developer) wires the verify script after both Waves 1 and 2 are complete.
+- **Wave 1 (parallel, 2 tasks):** Phase 39 — design-doc refresh (security-engineer) + P1-1 adapter parameterization (platform-engineer). Disjoint file sets; no merge conflict.
+- **Wave 2 (sequential):** Phase 40 — contract interpolation. Depends on Phase 39's design-doc context (lightweight).
+- **Wave 3 (sequential):** Phase 41 — per-env CI jobs. Depends on Phase 40's interpolation + env schema.
+- **Wave 4 (sequential):** Phase 42 — stub implementation. Depends on Phase 41's HITL job structure.
+- **Wave 5 (sequential):** Phase 43 — verify + review + audit + complete.
 
-`data-engineer` and `frontend-engineer` have 0 tasks this phase.

-## Dependencies
+## Phase 39 — design-doc-refresh-and-p1-1-parameterization
 
-- Depends on Phase 02 (L1 modules exist so mock_executor can invoke them and verify_phase03 can confirm L2 references resolve).
-- Phase 04 depends on this phase for the pipeline to call policy_checker, mock_executor, confidence_signal, evidence_writer, and for the issue workflow to call l3b_agent_stub.
+**Requirements:** REQ-100, REQ-101, REQ-102
+**Personas:** security-engineer (lead: design docs), platform-engineer (lead: P1-1), backend-engineer (review)
+**Branch:** `phase/39-design-doc-refresh-and-p1-1`
+
+### Task 39.1 — Refresh hitl_matrix_design.md (REQ-100, security-engineer)
+- Rewrite the status block: "v1.2 wires the gates" → "v1.9 wires the gates (Phase 42)".
+- Update "Spike scope note" → "v1.9 scope note": qa/prod/dr now exercised (Phase 41 wires the job structure; Phase 42 wires the attestation gates); dev remains autonomous.
+- Update §10.4 matrix: mark the offline-testable concerns (contract NFRs, schema validity, policy pass) as **implemented in v1.9** (`core/attestation_matrix.py`); mark operator-supplied concerns as **accept signed evidence artifacts** (D-084).
+- Add a "v1.9 wiring" section: cross-reference Phase 41's per-env jobs + Phase 42's `hitl_gates.py` + `attestation_matrix.py` + the outbox-based SoD check.
+- Preserve D-042 (approver identity = `gitea.actor` / `github.actor`) — still accurate.
+- Verify: `grep -i "dev-only spike" core/hitl_matrix_design.md` returns 0 hits; `grep -i "v1.2 wires" core/hitl_matrix_design.md` returns 0 hits.
+
+### Task 39.2 — Refresh audit_ledger_design.md (REQ-101, security-engineer)
+- Mark the "Spike scope (D-041)" section as **shipped + production since v1.8** (hash chain + DynamoDB outbox + `acdl-evidence` mirror).
+- Move the "v1.2 build-out" section (S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints) under a clearly-labeled "**Deferred to a future milestone (D-083)**" heading. Keep the content (it's the design for when it ships) but mark it not-v1.9.
+- Update the RPO/RTO table: spike row → "v1.8+ (production): RPO=0 (sync outbox), RTO=workflow re-run"; v1.2 row → "Future milestone (D-083): RPO=0, RTO=DLQ replay".
+- Update the outbox item shape: note `approver_qa`/`approver_prod`/`approver_dr` are populated by v1.9's `hitl_gates.attest` (Phase 42).
+- Verify: `grep -i "Phases 08-10 implement" core/audit_ledger_design.md` returns 0 hits; the deferred section is clearly labeled.
+
+### Task 39.3 — P1-1 adapter parameterization (REQ-102, platform-engineer)
+- `modules/l1/ecs-service/interface.json`: add inputs `desired_count` (integer, default 1), `launch_type` (string, default "FARGATE"), `family` (string, default "app").
+- `modules/l1/alb/interface.json`: add inputs `load_balancer_type` (string, default "application"), `target_type` (string, default "ip").
+- `modules/l1/vpc/interface.json`: add input `name` (string, default "app") for the VPC/IGW/RT `Name` tag prefix.
+- `adapters/terraform/adapter.py`: change hardcoded defaults to `inputs.get("<name>", "<default>")` where the default matches the interface default (safety fallback; the resolver populates from the interface). Remove the hardcoded `Name = "acdl-microservice-rt"` (line 283) → use `inputs.get("name", "app")`-derived tag.
+- Preserve the v1.1 S3 regression (S3 has none of these inputs → no change).
+- Tests: `tests/test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py` — (a) `desired_count: 3` in contract inputs emits `desired_count = 3`; (b) absent `desired_count` emits `desired_count = 1` via interface default; (c) `target_type: "instance"` emits `target_type = "instance"`; (d) v1.1 S3 regression still passes (byte-identical `main.tf`).
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py` passes; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0; `pytest` total count increases; v1.1 S3 regression test passes.
+
+### Task 39.4 — Design doc test (REQ-100/101, backend-engineer)
+- `tests/test_design_docs_current.py`: assert (a) no stale "dev-only spike" / "v1.2 wires the gates" / "Phases 08-10 implement" framing in either design doc; (b) `audit_ledger_design.md` has a "Deferred to a future milestone" section referencing D-083; (c) `hitl_matrix_design.md` references the v1.9 implementation (`attestation_matrix.py`, `hitl_gates.py`).
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_design_docs_current.py` passes.
+
+### Must-haves (Phase 39)
+- [ ] `core/hitl_matrix_design.md` refreshed (no stale framing).
+- [ ] `core/audit_ledger_design.md` refreshed (S3 Object Lock marked deferred D-083).
+- [ ] Adapter has no hardcoded ECS/ALB/VPC defaults (read from inputs).
+- [ ] `tests/test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py` + `tests/test_design_docs_current.py` pass.
+- [ ] `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0; v1.1 S3 regression passes.
+

+
+## Phase 40 — contract-interpolation
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-103, REQ-104
+**Personas:** backend-engineer (lead), platform-engineer (review)
+**Branch:** `phase/40-contract-interpolation`
+
+### Task 40.1 — Environment JSON schema (REQ-104, backend-engineer)
+- `schemas/environment.schema.json` (draft 2020-12): required `name` (string), `account_id` (string), `region` (string), `state_backend` (object: `bucket`, `lock_table`), `network` (object: `vpc_cidr`, `azs` array), `runner_role_arn` (string), `autonomy` (enum: full/attested), `confidence_threshold` (number).
+- `core/environments/dev.json` validates against it.
+- Add `core/environments/qa.json`, `prod.json`, `dr.json`: `account_id: "000000000000"`, `autonomy: "attested"`, `confidence_threshold` 0.75/0.90/0.95, regions us-east-1, state_backend buckets `acdl-qa-state`/`acdl-prod-state`/`acdl-dr-state`.
+- `core/environment_check.py`: add `load(env_name, root=None)` returning the parsed env dict; `check()` stays. Add a stderr warning when `account_id == "000000000000"` and `env_name != "dev"` (prompts real binding).
+- `tests/test_environment_schema.py`: all 4 env files validate; `load("dev")` returns the dict; warning emitted for qa/prod/dr placeholders.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_environment_schema.py` passes.
+
+### Task 40.2 — Interpolation expansion in the resolver (REQ-103, backend-engineer)
+- `core/contract_resolver.py`: add `_expand_vars(value, context)` — recursively walks dicts/lists/strings; replaces `${env.<dotted.path>}` and `${contract.<dotted.path>}` tokens by looking up the dotted path in the context dict. Unknown token → `ValueError(f"unresolved interpolation token: {token}")`.
+- `resolve()`: after schema validation, load the env via `environment_check.load(contract["environment"])`, build `context = {"env": env, "contract": contract}`, expand all string values in `contract["inputs"]` (recursively, per D-087), then proceed to IR resolution.
+- The expansion is post-schema-validation (schema sees the raw tokens, which are valid strings) and pre-IR-resolution (the resolver sees concrete values).
+- `tests/test_interpolation.py`: (a) `${env.region}` expands to `us-east-1`; (b) `${env.state_backend.bucket}` expands to `acdl-dev-state`; (c) `${contract.module}` expands to `static-assets`; (d) unknown token raises `ValueError`; (e) nested map value `env: { DB_URL: "acdl-${env.environment}-db" }` expands recursively; (f) `resolve("contracts/static-assets.yaml")` succeeds with expanded values.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_interpolation.py` passes.
+
+### Task 40.3 — Sample contracts use naming patterns (REQ-103, backend-engineer)
+- `contracts/static-assets.yaml`: `bucket_name: acdl-${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}` (the naming pattern the requirement calls out: region + account id + environment).
+- `contracts/microservice.yaml`: same pattern for `bucket_name`.
+- Keep `region: us-east-1` as a literal (or `${env.region}` — both valid; use `${env.region}` to demonstrate).
+- `tests/test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py`: resolving the sample contracts produces concrete bucket names like `acdl-dev-static-assets-000000000000-us-east-1`.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py` passes; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0 (resolver expands before adapter).
+
+### Must-haves (Phase 40)
+- [ ] `schemas/environment.schema.json` exists; 4 env files validate.
+- [ ] `_expand_vars` in resolver; unknown tokens raise.
+- [ ] Sample contracts use `${env.*}` + `${contract.*}` naming patterns.
+- [ ] `tests/test_environment_schema.py` + `tests/test_interpolation.py` + `tests/test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py` pass.
+- [ ] `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 41 — per-environment-ci-jobs
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-105, REQ-106
+**Personas:** backend-engineer (lead), security-engineer (HITL gate review)
+**Branch:** `phase/41-per-environment-ci-jobs`
+
+### Task 41.1 — Per-env contract files (REQ-105, backend-engineer)
+- `contracts/static-assets.dev.yaml`, `.qa.yaml`, `.prod.yaml`, `.dr.yaml` — each sets `environment:` to its own name; `inputs.bucket_name` uses `${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}` interpolation (so the file content is near-identical; only `environment:` differs).
+- `contracts/microservice.{dev,qa,prod,dr}.yaml` — same pattern.
+- Keep `contracts/static-assets.yaml` + `contracts/microservice.yaml` as the dev default (backwards compat).
+- `tests/test_per_env_contracts.py`: all 8 per-env files validate against `schemas/contract.schema.json`; each resolves to a stack with the correct environment.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_per_env_contracts.py` passes.
+
+### Task 41.2 — Deploy workflow `environment` input (REQ-106, backend-engineer)
+- `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (byte-identical): add `environment` input (`type: string`, default `""`, description "Target environment override (dev/qa/prod/dr); when empty, the contract's environment field is used").
+- `scripts/run_platform.sh`: add `--environment <name>` flag. When set, override the contract's `environment` field at load time (before schema validation per D-088, so interpolation context is consistent). Re-run the onboarding check against the supplied env.
+- The workflow's "Run the platform pipeline" step passes `--environment ${{ inputs.environment }}` when non-empty.
+- `tests/test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py`: both deploy workflows declare the `environment` input; byte-identical; `run_platform.sh --environment qa contracts/static-assets.yaml` produces a stack whose env is qa (tested via the resolver directly since run_platform.sh needs AWS for full mode — test the override logic in the resolver).
+- `core/contract_resolver.py` `resolve()`: accept optional `environment_override` arg; when set, set `contract["environment"] = override` before schema validation + interpolation.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py` passes; both deploy workflows byte-identical.
+
+### Task 41.3 — Per-env caller workflow docs + HITL gate structure (REQ-106, security-engineer review)
+- `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md`: add a "Per-environment deployment" section with 4 caller-workflow examples (`.github/workflows/deploy-dev.yml`, `deploy-qa.yml`, `deploy-prod.yml`, `deploy-dr.yml`), each `uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9` with `environment: <env>` + `contract: .acdl/<module>.<env>.yaml`. Document: "Promotion = running the matching job; no `environment:` field editing."
+- HITL gate structure (wired in Phase 42, documented here): qa/prod/dr caller workflows use `workflow_dispatch` with approval inputs (`approve_qa`, `approve_prod`, `approve_dr`) per `hitl_matrix_design.md` D-042; `gitea.actor` / `github.actor` is the approver of record. dev is autonomous (no gate).
+- `tests/test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py`: the consumer guide has the per-env section with 4 caller examples.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py` passes.
+
+### Must-haves (Phase 41)
+- [ ] 8 per-env contract files exist + validate + resolve.
+- [ ] Deploy workflow has `environment` input (byte-identical Gitea + GitHub).
+- [ ] `run_platform.sh --environment <name>` overrides; resolver supports `environment_override`.
+- [ ] Consumer guide documents per-env caller workflows + promotion-without-editing.
+- [ ] `tests/test_per_env_contracts.py` + `tests/test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py` + `tests/test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py` pass.
+- [ ] `run_ci.sh` exits 0; both deploy workflows byte-identical.
+

+
+## Phase 42 — stub-implementation
+
+**Requirements:** REQ-107, REQ-108, REQ-109, REQ-110, REQ-111
+**Personas:** security-engineer (lead), backend-engineer (run_platform wiring), lambda-engineer (SNS topic Terraform)
+**Branch:** `phase/42-stub-implementation`
+
+### Task 42.1 — route_halt_artifact real (REQ-107, security-engineer + lambda-engineer)
+- `core/separation_of_duties.py` `route_halt_artifact`: when `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN` set, publish to SNS via boto3 (`sns.publish(TopicArn=arn, Message=..., Subject="ACDL SoD halt")`); when unset, fall back to structured stderr emission + a `SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION` event write via `outbox_writer.write_event` (so the halt is in the audit chain). No silent print-only stub.
+- `terraform/platform/main.tf`: add `aws_sns_topic.acdl-sod-halt` + a basic access policy (allow the platform Lambda / runner role to publish). Output the topic ARN.
+- `tests/test_route_halt_artifact.py`: (a) with `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN` set, moto-mocked SNS receives the publish; (b) without it, a `SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION` event is written to the outbox (moto-mocked DynamoDB); (c) stderr emission occurs in both cases.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_route_halt_artifact.py` passes.
+
+### Task 42.2 — HITL attestation gates (REQ-108, security-engineer + backend-engineer)
+- `core/hitl_gates.py`: `attest(contract_id, env, approver, evidence, outbox_client=None)` → records `approver_qa`/`approver_prod`/`approver_dr` to the outbox item for `contract_id`; runs `separation_of_duties.check(outbox_client, contract_id, approver)` on prod; invokes the attestation matrix (Task 42.3) for the target env; returns `(ok, reason)`. Dev skips (returns `(True, "dev autonomous")`).
+- `scripts/run_platform.sh`: before apply (for qa/prod/dr), call `hitl_gates.attest` with the approver from `GITHUB_ACTOR`/`GITEA_ACTOR` env. Block on `(ok=False)`.
+- `tests/test_hitl_gates.py`: (a) dev skips; (b) qa records `approver_qa` (moto outbox); (c) prod records `approver_prod` + SoD blocks when `approver_qa == approver_prod`; (d) prod passes when approvers differ.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_hitl_gates.py` passes.
+
+### Task 42.3 — 8-concern attestation matrix (REQ-109, security-engineer)
+- `core/attestation_matrix.py`: `check(env, evidence_bundle)` → runs the 8 concerns. Offline-testable concerns (contract NFRs, schema validity, policy pass) run for real. Operator-supplied concerns accept an uploaded signed evidence artifact (JSON with `timestamp`, `type`, `payload`, optional `signature`); validate freshness (within the declared window from `hitl_matrix_design.md` §10.4) + schema (per-concern). Signature verification via KMS when `ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID` set; skipped + logged when unset (D-089). Fail loud if missing/expired for prod/dr.
+- `hitl_gates.attest` calls `attestation_matrix.check(env, evidence)` and blocks on any failing concern.
+- `tests/test_attestation_matrix.py`: (a) offline concerns pass for a valid contract; (b) operator-supplied concern missing → block for prod; (c) operator-supplied concern present + fresh → pass; (d) expired artifact → block; (e) signature skip when key unset (logged).
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_attestation_matrix.py` passes.
+
+### Task 42.4 — Wiz real API client (REQ-110, security-engineer)
+- `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py`: add `WizClient` class — `__init__` reads `WIZ_API_TOKEN` + `WIZ_API_URL`; `fetch_issues(filter_by)` queries the Wiz GraphQL API (`<url>/graphql`, Bearer auth, `issues` query). Translate results → `PolicyCheckResult` records (`engine: "wiz"`, `ruleId: <control.name>`, `severity: <lowercased>`, `status: FAIL`, `message: <title>`, `resource: <entity.name>`). Graceful degrade: when `WIZ_API_TOKEN` or `WIZ_API_URL` unset → emit the existing single `SKIPPED` `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED` record (no network call). Pagination handled via `pageInfo.hasNextPage`.
+- `tests/test_wiz_adapter_real_client.py`: (a) with a recorded GraphQL fixture, `WizClient` translates issues → `PolicyCheckResult` records; (b) graceful degrade when env unset; (c) pagination follows `endCursor`.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_wiz_adapter_real_client.py` passes.
+
+### Task 42.5 — Kyverno translator fleshed out (REQ-111, security-engineer)
+- `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py`: full `PolicyReport` → `PolicyCheckResult` mapping — handle `pass`/`fail`/`skip`/`warn` results, severity mapping (critical/high/medium/low/info), resource extraction, skip-with-reason handling. Keep the inactive-for-Terraform guard (emits a single `SKIPPED` `KYVERNO_INACTIVE_TF_STACK` record when no K8s manifests). Add a `--kube-version` stub (parsed but not yet used — for future GitOps).
+- `tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py`: expand — (a) `pass` result → `PolicyCheckResult` with `status: PASS`; (b) `fail` with severity → correct severity mapping; (c) `skip` with reason → `SKIPPED` record; (d) inactive-for-TF guard emits the `KYVERNO_INACTIVE_TF_STACK` record.
+- Verify: `pytest tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py` passes.
+
+### Must-haves (Phase 42)
+- [ ] `route_halt_artifact` real (SNS + outbox fallback); SNS topic in Terraform.
+- [ ] `hitl_gates.py` attests qa/prod/dr; SoD blocks on identity equality.
+- [ ] `attestation_matrix.py` implements 8 concerns (offline-testable + signed artifacts).
+- [ ] Wiz adapter real client + graceful degrade.
+- [ ] Kyverno translator fleshed out + inactive guard preserved.
+- [ ] All 5 new test files pass; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 43 — verify-review-audit-complete
+
+**Requirements:** — (milestone gate)
+**Personas:** lead-developer (lead), all personas (review participation)
+**Branch:** `phase/43-verify-review-audit-complete`
+
+### Task 43.1 — 4-layer verify
+- Structural: all new files present (environment.schema.json, 4 env files, 8 per-env contracts, hitl_gates.py, attestation_matrix.py, SNS topic in main.tf, 5+ new test files).
+- Behavioral: `pytest` passes (count increases from v1.8's 350 by ~30+ new tests); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+- Security: no hardcoded adapter defaults; HITL gates block on SoD violation; attestation matrix fails loud on missing evidence for prod/dr; Wiz degrades gracefully.
+- Quality: each new feature has dedicated tests (interpolation, per-env jobs, SoD, HITL gates, attestation matrix, Wiz, Kyverno).
+
+### Task 43.2 — Multi-persona review
+- `ciagent-review` across the v1.9 diff (phases 39–42). Auto-apply P0; flag P1+ for post-hoc.
+- Reconstruct `.ciagent/REVIEW.md` with v1.9 content (D-086). Note that v1.3–v1.8 reviews were not persisted (no git-history rewrite).
+
+### Task 43.3 — Audit
+- Reconstruction: git log matches `.ciagent/` files.
+- File discipline: all `.ciagent/` files valid.
+- Branch hygiene: stale branches cleaned.
+- Commit discipline: all commits have `---ci---` blocks.
+
+### Task 43.4 — Complete
+- Update `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md`: mark REQ-100..REQ-111 complete; add v1.9 traceability table.
+- Update `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md`: add v1.9 milestone section (complete).
+- Update `.ciagent/PROJECT.md`: v1.9 status → complete.
+- Tag `v1.9.0`; update floating `v1.9` + `v1` tags.
+- Bump `uses:`/`ref:` from `@v1.6` → `@v1.9` in `contracts/*.yaml`, `deploy.yml` checkout `ref:`, `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` (D-071 successor).
+- Commit: `docs(milestone): complete v1.9`.
+
+### Must-haves (Phase 43)
+- [ ] 4-layer verify PASS.
+- [ ] Review: 0 new P0; P1+ flagged for post-hoc.
+- [ ] Audit: clean.
+- [ ] Tag `v1.9.0` created; floating tags updated.
+- [ ] `uses:`/`ref:` bumped to `@v1.9`.
+- [ ] REQUIREMENTS.md + ROADMAP.md + PROJECT.md updated.

 ## Vision / Core Value
 
-A 30-minute executive demo proving that infrastructure can be delivered **automatically, safely, and with a complete audit trail** — without the usual weeks of manual tickets, reviews, and copy-pasted configuration. Because the demo runs entirely on **local stubs** (no AWS/GCP/Azure, no external LLM APIs), it shows intent and safety behavior rather than provisioning real cloud resources.
+Consumers declare intent; the platform delivers safe production
+deployment through an agentic stack. The platform absorbs two frictions:
+the cognitive load of getting the infrastructure right, and the
+operational work of getting the change to production safely.
 
-## Objective
+Source of truth for **why**: `docs/vision.md`.
+Source of truth for **how**: `docs/architecture.md` + `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md`.
+Where the two conflict, the vision wins.
 
-Build a runnable demo (Linux + GitHub/Gitea Actions) that walks executives through four acts:
+## North Star
 
-1. **Act 1 — The Friction:** the old manual 2-week deployment process.
-2. **Act 2 — Developer Self-Service:** commit a valid `contract.yaml` for `l2-commodity-price-feed`, watch Dev auto-run, QA + Prod approval gates, then the evidence timeline.
-3. **Act 3 — Citizen Developer:** open a GitHub Issue with natural-language intent; the Python keyword parser generates the same `contract.yaml` and triggers the identical pipeline.
-4. **Act 4 — The Safety Net:** commit a malicious `contract.yaml` (`public-ingress: true`) for `l2-regulatory-reporting`; the pipeline halts in Dev because the confidence signal drops below 0.50, and the rejection is visible on the evidence stream.
+A merged change progresses through lower environments end-to-end without a
+platform engineer joining a thread, approving a ticket, or manually
+triggering a stage gate. A non-technical consumer ships a production
+deployment by declaring intent — without authoring a workflow, a
+configuration file, or a Terraform module. Every production change is
+traceable to a human attestation and an immutable evidence stream.
+
+## Core Tenets (from `docs/vision.md`)
+
+1. **Operations are Declared, Not Executed.** Consumers define what they
+   need; the platform reconciles, provisions, and progresses.
+2. **The Delivery Lifecycle is a Sovereign Boundary.** The platform
+   governs infra and delivery; it does not penetrate upstream product/SDLC.
+   Integration is only through validated, published contracts.
+3. **Lower Environments are Autonomous; Higher Environments are Attested.**
+   Dev = zero-touch agentic. QA/prod/dr = deliberate human attestation, not
+   rubber stamps.
+4. **Safety is Computed, Not Assumed.** Every action produces a measurable,
+   explainable confidence signal. The signal is the platform's certified
+   answer to "is this safe to proceed?"
+5. **Infrastructure is Consumed, Not Maintained.** Compute is abstract,
+   containerized, or serverless. No node/OS/bare-metal lifecycle.
+6. **Two Consumer Surfaces, One Platform.** Technical developers (L3A) and
+   non-technical consumers (L3B) converge on the same contract schema, the
+   same policy envelope, and the same evidence stream.
+
+## Domain Boundaries
+
+- **In scope:** environment progression; cloud resource lifecycle; operational
+  security and observability NFRs; policy enforcement; immutable audit
+  lineage; confidence frameworks; two consumer surfaces (developer + agentic).
+- **Out of scope:** application business logic; IDE workflows; product
+  backlog / sprint planning; compute requiring node-level or OS-level management.
+- **Interface:** upstream systems integrate through a strict contract
+  boundary. The platform validates, enriches with operational standards,
+  and reconciles the target state.
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.1 (prior — complete, tag `v1.2.0`)
+
+Finalize the architecture to v1.0 (resolve all 11 open design decisions in
+`docs/architecture.md` §13) and prove the locked commitments with one
+end-to-end v1 implementation spike:
+
+- **One L1 module** (`l1-s3`) — engine-agnostic, IR-typed interface.
+- **One L2 thin-composition** (`l2-static-assets`) — references the L1.
+- **Terraform adapter** — compiles the IR to a real `terraform plan`
+  against AWS via OIDC (no long-lived credentials, per §12.5).
+- **One contract submission** → contract→IR resolution →
+  `terraform plan` → PolicyCheckResult (Checkov) → confidence signal →
+  evidence event to the DynamoDB outbox.
+
+The spike validates the architecture's claim that the IR-shaped commitments
+do not require a polyglot mess (`docs/architecture.md` §14, step 2).
+
+**Status: COMPLETE — all 5 phases shipped (v1.1.1..v1.1.5) + verified; review
+READY TO SHIP (0 P0); audit CLEAN; milestone tag `v1.2.0`; Gitea release
+id 202 published. D-034 closed (root key deactivated by user).**
+
+## Milestone v1.1 Phases (prior — complete)
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 06 | archive-demo-and-reorient | Move the v1.0 demo (`modules/`, `scripts/`, `evidence-ui/`, `contracts/`, demo workflows) to `demo/`; establish the new repo layout (`platform/`, `schemas/`, `adapters/`, `terraform/`, `modules-ir/`); rewrite README. |
+| 07 | architecture-v1-finalization | Resolve the 11 open decisions → architecture v1.0. Author IR JSON Schema, PolicyCheckResult schema, contract schema, confidence-signal spec, HITL matrix, outbox/ledger design under `schemas/` + `platform/`. |
+| 08 | aws-oidc-bootstrap | One-shot use of a temporary long-lived key (waiver D-034) to create an IAM role + OIDC trust policy for the act_runner, an S3 state bucket, and a DynamoDB lock table. Rotate the key. Verify the runner assumes the role via OIDC with no long-lived secret. |
+| 09 | v1-spike-ir-and-l1-and-adapter | Target Stack IR; one real L1 (`l1-s3`) with IR-typed interface; L1 registry; Terraform adapter (IR → Terraform var/output + `terraform plan`) running against AWS via OIDC. |
+| 10 | v1-spike-l2-and-contract-e2e | One L2 thin-composition (`l2-static-assets`) referencing `l1-s3`; contract schema + contract→IR resolution; one end-to-end contract submission → `terraform plan` → Checkov → confidence signal → evidence event to outbox. Verify the IR commitments hold. |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.2.0` (feature milestone, next
+minor per ship.md) → audit. **DONE.**
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.2 (prior — complete)
+
+Platform hardening + first real consumer deployment. The v1.1 spike proved
+the IR commitments hold on a single dev-only `terraform plan` for one S3
+bucket. v1.2 takes the spike to a real, simpler, better-documented platform
+that actually delivers a microservice to AWS ECS Fargate end-to-end.
+
+Five scope axes (user-directed, 2026-07-21):
+
+1. **Re-evaluate the current state.** Confirm go-gitea/gitea#36988 (OIDC for
+   Gitea Actions) is still unmerged (re-checked 2026-07-21: **open**, last
+   updated 2026-05-27). Extend the D-039 per-run-rotated-key waiver for
+   v1.2; real OIDC is deferred to v1.3+ (D-047).
+2. **NFR improvements on the existing spike.** Least-privilege IAM audit,
+   idempotent bootstrap, proper exit codes / error handling, rotation
+   hygiene, P1-1 / P1-B redaction carried forward from the v1.1 audit.
+3. **Streamline / simplify the current setup.** Consolidate the
+   `run_spike_*.sh` scripts into one `scripts/run_platform.sh`; remove
+   dead code and stale paths; one command runs the whole pipeline.
+4. **README.md fully up to date on how the platform works.** The current
+   README still says "v1.1 (active)" — it must reflect v1.1 complete, the
+   actual spike flow, how to run it, the real repo layout, and the v1.2
+   objective.
+5. **Bootstrap a consumer repo with a basic microservice deployed to ECS
+   end-to-end.** New Gitea repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` (org
+   `continuous-intelligence`) holding a tiny HTTP container + Dockerfile;
+   new IR-typed L1s (`l1-vpc`, `l1-ecs-cluster`, `l1-ecs-service`,
+   `l1-iam-role`, `l1-alb`, `l1-ecr`); new `l2-microservice`
+   thin-composition; one contract submission → `terraform apply` (dev,
+   autonomous) → a live ECS Fargate service serving HTTP 200 → evidence
+   event to the DynamoDB outbox → acdl-evidence timeline.
+
+The milestone proves the platform delivers real value (a running
+microservice), not just a plan.
+
+## Milestone v1.2 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 11 | v1.2-research-and-readme | Re-eval #36988 (confirm open → extend D-039 as D-047). Audit the v1.1 spike for NFR gaps (least-privilege, idempotency, error handling, rotation hygiene) + simplification opportunities. **Rewrite README.md** to reflect v1.1 complete + how the platform actually works (spike flow, how to run, repo layout, v1.2 objective). Output: RESEARCH.md v1.2 addendum; updated README. |
+| 12 | nfr-harden-and-simplify | Apply Phase 11 findings: tighten `spike_runner_policy.json` (least-privilege audit); make `terraform/bootstrap/create_*.py` idempotent; consolidate `run_spike_*.sh` → one `scripts/run_platform.sh`; proper exit codes / error handling; redact P1-1 AWS key IDs in `VERIFY.md`; fix any remaining stale `platform/` paths. Spike still runs e2e after the refactor. |
+| 13 | l1-catalog-for-ecs | Author IR-typed L1s for an ECS Fargate microservice: `l1-vpc`, `l1-ecs-cluster`, `l1-ecs-service`, `l1-iam-role` (task + exec role), `l1-alb`, `l1-ecr`. Register all in `modules-ir/registry.json`. Expand the Terraform adapter `TYPE_MAP`. Each L1 produces a valid `terraform plan` fragment. |
+| 14 | l2-microservice-and-contract-schema | Author `l2-microservice` thin-composition (references the ECS L1s, depth ≤ 5). Extend `schemas/contract.schema.json` for microservice inputs (image, port, env, healthcheck). Verify contract→IR resolution yields a complete target stack. |
+| 15 | consumer-repo-and-terraform-apply | Create consumer repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` (Gitea org) with a basic microservice (tiny HTTP container + Dockerfile + ECR push). Lift the platform from `plan` → **`apply`** (dev, autonomous per §10). Submit `contracts/microservice.yaml` → pipeline → IR → plan → apply → a real ECS Fargate service running. |
+| 16 | v1.2-capstone-e2e | End-to-end verification: consumer commit → pipeline → ECS service live serving HTTP 200 → evidence event to the DynamoDB outbox → acdl-evidence timeline renders it. Verify NFR improvements hold, the setup is simpler (one `run_platform.sh`), and the README is accurate. |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.3.0` (feature milestone, next
+minor per ship.md — v1.1 shipped `v1.2.0`) → audit.
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.4 (active)
+
+Central pipeline contract + shell reproducibility + output streaming. The
+v1.3 milestone (Phases 17–18) created identical CI/CD pipelines for Gitea
+and GitHub but they were duplicated copies with no single source of truth.
+v1.4 makes the pipeline a declarative contract, enables full shell
+reproducibility, and streams terraform/checkov output so users can see
+what the platform is doing.
+
+Three scope axes:
+
+1. **Central pipeline contract.** A JSON Schema
+   (`schemas/pipeline.schema.json`) + YAML instance (`pipelines/ci.yaml`)
+   declares the pipeline stages, commands, triggers, and runner. Both
+   `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` (Gitea Actions, dev) and
+   `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (GitHub Actions, production) implement the
+   contract. A test validates conformance.
+2. **Shell reproducibility.** `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline
+   locally — runs the same 3 stages (lint, test, check-only) in sequence.
+   The pipeline is fully reproducible from the shell, not just in CI.
+3. **Output streaming.** `scripts/run_platform.sh` streams terraform
+   init/validate/plan output, Checkov compliance results, and
+   PolicyCheckResult records to stdout by default, so the user sees what
+   is happening. A `--quiet` flag suppresses streaming for log-only mode.
+
+## Milestone v1.4 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 19 | central-pipeline-contract-and-shell-reproducibility | Create the central pipeline contract (JSON Schema + YAML instance). Create `scripts/run_ci.sh` for shell reproducibility. Update `run_platform.sh` to stream terraform/checkov output. Update both workflow YAMLs with contract references (staying byte-identical). Add tests for contract validation, workflow conformance, and streaming. |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.4.1` (feature milestone, next
+minor per ship.md — v1.3 shipped `v1.3.2`) → audit.
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.7 (complete)
+
+Production platform + contract ingestion + pipeline maturation. The v1.6
+milestone left the platform documented and environments-aware; v1.7 took it
+to a production-grade platform. 12 user-directed scope axes (2026-07-22):
+
+1. **Rename `static-assets` → `static-assets`** (D-048 — including
+   `.ciagent/` historical narrative, overriding the v1.6 preservation
+   precedent). The reconstruction test is updated to expect `static-assets`.
+2. **Augment `static-assets` to a production-ready stack** by authoring a
+   new `cloudfront` primitive + a `waf` primitive (D-049: S3 + CloudFront
+   OAC + WAF; Route53/ACM are domain-dependent and deferred to documented
+   extension points).
+3. **DX-friendly deploy outputs** (D-050): SSM Parameter Store (KMS-encrypted
+   `SecureString`) for runtime-injectable values + GitHub PR comment / job
+   summary for human-readable connection strings. No raw secrets in logs.
+4. **Central deploy pipeline error reporting** via the platform Lambda
+   `report_error` action (D-055): the Lambda creates a GitHub issue on the
+   platform repo. The consumer's onboarding-granted Lambda-invoke permission
+   is the only grant needed — uniform pathway, no separate GitHub
+   `issues: write` on the consumer side. Gitea is excluded (only the CIAgent
+   uses it).
+5. **PR comments after every successful stage** so developers always know
+   where they stand.
+6. **Three platform pipelines**: (1) platform-test (PR, unit + integration +
+   schema-validation); (2) primitives-plan (PR, plan-only for all L1
+   primitives); (3) patterns-plan (PR, plan-only for all L2 modules).
+7. **Release job** on merge to `main`: computes MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH semver,
+   creates the tag, then updates (force-moves) or creates the MAJOR.MINOR +
+   MAJOR floating tags (D-057). Consumers on `@v1` or `@v1.6` receive updates
+   depending on their pinned version.
+8. **Platform Lambda** for one-way consumer→platform communication
+   (contracts). Onboarding grants the consumer repo's environment the right
+   to trigger the Lambda (cross-account IAM). The Lambda ingests contracts
+   and stores them in a DynamoDB table `acdl-contracts` (D-051) for
+   historical reference, impact analysis, CMDB-style application-state
+   queries, and pattern detection. The IAM policy reflects cross-account
+   invocation.
+9. **Tagging standards** in policy/compliance checks (D-054): a required-tag
+   set (`acdl:owner`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:environment`, `acdl:cost-center`)
+   enforced by a Checkov custom YAML rule. Closes the D-043 deferral (the
+   SKIPPED `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` placeholder becomes a real check).
+10. **Wiz adapter** for security checks (D-052): a stub + schema path that
+    translates Wiz API issues → `PolicyCheckResult` records, degrading
+    gracefully when unconfigured. Matches the Checkov adapter pattern.
+11. **Kyverno adapter** for compliance/security checks (D-053): a
+    K8s-native policy adapter that translates Kyverno `PolicyReport` results
+    → `PolicyCheckResult` records. Ready but inactive for Terraform-only
+    stacks (the platform emits Terraform, not K8s manifests); it activates
+    when the GitOps reconciler (roadmap) emits K8s manifests.
+12. **Remove the legacy consumer-repos directory** and add validated per-module examples
+    (D-058: `modules/<name>/examples/` with `simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml`
+    validated in CI) + a new RDS primitive demonstrating multi-engine
+    variation (D-059).
+
+## Milestone v1.7 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 22 | rename-and-production-static-assets-stack | Rename `static-assets` → `static-assets` everywhere (D-048). Author `cloudfront` + `waf` primitives. Augment `static-assets` to S3 + CloudFront (OAC) + WAF (D-049). Expand adapter. Bump `uses:` to `@v1.6`; create floating `v1.6` + `v1` tags (D-057). |
+| 23 | tagging-standards-and-security-adapters | Required-tag set + Checkov custom rule (D-054, D-043 closure). Wiz adapter stub (D-052). Kyverno K8s-native adapter (D-053). Schema engine enum updated. |
+| 24 | platform-lambda-and-contract-ingestion | Platform Lambda + DynamoDB `acdl-contracts` table (D-051) + cross-account IAM + onboarding grant. |
+| 25 | deploy-pipeline-dx-outputs-and-error-reporting | SSM SecureString + PR comment outputs (D-050). Lambda `report_error` → GitHub issue (D-055). Stage comments after each successful stage. |
+| 26 | platform-pipelines-and-release-automation | 3 platform pipelines (platform-test, primitives-plan, patterns-plan). Release job with semver + MAJOR.MINOR/MAJOR tag updates (D-057). |
+| 27 | remove-legacy-consumer-repos-and-module-documentation-examples | Delete the legacy consumer-repos directory. RDS primitive (D-059). Validated per-module examples (D-058). Docs updates. |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.7.0` (feature milestone, next
+minor per ship.md — v1.6 shipped `v1.6.0`) → audit.
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.8 (active)
+
+P1 remediation + uptime monitoring + engineering standards + encryption
+and deletion-protection by default + decommission alias + documentation.
+The v1.7 milestone shipped production platform + contract ingestion but
+left 8 P1 issues flagged for post-hoc review. v1.8 clears all of them
+AND delivers three user-directed feature/NFR tracks (2026-07-22):
+
+**Track 1 — P1 Remediation (Phases 28–30):**
+Clear all 8 pending P1 issues from v1.5/v1.6/v1.7 verify reviews:
+- P1-3: SSM uses AWS-managed key silently → fail loud without CMK config
+- P1-4: WAF custom rules emit invalid HCL (attribute vs block syntax)
+- P1-5: WAF default_action input silently ignored
+- P1-6: consumer_invoke_policy.json has placeholder account ID
+- P1-7: L2 composition outputs section not implemented in resolver
+- P1-8: terraform/spike/*.tf overwritten by run_platform.sh (state
+  contamination)
+- P1-9: GitHub API URLs hardcoded in contract_ingestor.py (Gitea fails
+  silently)
+- S1: Deploy workflow static-key override not wired (passes ACDL_AWS_*
+  env vars to configure-aws-credentials which reads AWS_*/its own inputs)
+
+**Track 2 — Encryption + Deletion Protection by Default (Phases 31–32):**
+All primitives encrypted by default (CMK priority + SSE, managed KMS
+fallback). Per-stack CMK (one key per L2 deployment, 90-day rotation,
+no shared keys). Deletion protection on by default for every primitive.
+L2 modules expose a feature flag to turn off deletion protection. A
+decommission alias uses a 2-step pipeline (disable deletion protection
+→ zero counts → destroy) with HITL SRE gates and CMDB-validated change
+request ID.
+
+**Track 3 — Uptime + Standards + Docs (Phases 33–36):**
+A new uptime-kuma primitive (ECS Fargate) deployed by default after any
+L2 module deploy (separate terraform state), with a feature flag to
+disable. Monitored endpoints passed from L2 outputs. Alert channels
+(Teams/email/SMS/GitHub issues). The uptime URL published to consumers
+via PR comments. Engineering standards for L1 + L2 module authoring
+(scanned from current modules, stored in modules/). READMEs for
+schemas/, adapters/, pipelines/ paths documenting how to write, wire,
+and test each.
+
+## Milestone v1.8 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 28 | adapter-waf-and-resolver-outputs | Fix WAF HCL emission (nested rules blocks + default_action input) + implement L2 composition outputs in resolver + adapter output blocks. P1-4, P1-5, P1-7. |
+| 29 | ssm-kms-and-invoke-policy | SSM publisher fails loud without CMK (escape hatch for local) + Terraform-rendered consumer_invoke_policy (no placeholder account ID). P1-3, P1-6. |
+| 30 | run-platform-isolation-and-api-portability | Adapter output to per-run temp dir (remove committed spike .tf) + forge-agnostic API URLs + deploy.yml static-key override wired. P1-8, P1-9, S1. |
+| 31 | encryption-by-default-and-per-stack-cmk | KMS-key primitive + per-stack CMK wired in L2 modules + encryption NFRs on all primitives + managed KMS fallback. |
+| 32 | deletion-protection-by-default-and-l2-feature-flag | Deletion protection NFR on all primitives (default true) + L2 feature flag + contract schema update. |
+| 33 | uptime-kuma-primitive | Uptime L1 primitive (ECS Fargate, feature flag, monitored endpoints, alert channels) + deploy-uptime pipeline stage (separate state) + URL published via PR comment. |
+| 34 | decommission-alias-and-cmdb-validation | Decommission mode on deploy pipeline (2-step: disable deletion protection → zero counts, HITL SRE gates) + DynamoDB CMDB validation + consumer guide docs. |
+| 35 | module-engineering-standards | modules/STANDARDS.md (L1+L2 authoring + review standards scanned from current modules) + catalog index fix + template update + automated standards test. |
+| 36 | schemas-adapters-pipelines-readmes | schemas/README.md + pipelines/README.md + adapters/README.md (how to write, wire, test, dependencies). |
+| 37 | verify | 4-layer verification of all v1.8 phases. |
+| 38 | review-audit-complete | Multi-persona review + audit + milestone completion (tag v1.8.0). |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.8.0` (feature milestone, next
+minor per run.md — v1.7 shipped `v1.7.0`) → audit.
+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.9 (complete, tag `v1.9.0`)
+
+Production-grade progression: contract interpolation, per-environment
+promotion without field editing, stub implementation, and P1-1
+remediation. The v1.8 milestone shipped encryption/deletion-protection by
+default, uptime, decommission, and engineering standards but left four
+gaps that v1.9 closes (user-directed, 2026-07-23):
+
+1. **Design doc refresh.** `core/hitl_matrix_design.md` and
+   `core/audit_ledger_design.md` are stale — both still describe the
+   v1.1 spike scope ("dev-only; HITL not exercised"; "spike scope =
+   hash chain + outbox write; Object Lock + JWS are v1.2"). v1.9 brings
+   them up to date with the shipped v1.8 platform and the v1.9 wiring.
+2. **Contract interpolation (variable expansion).** Contracts cannot
+   reference environment onboarding values today — bucket names, account
+   IDs, regions are hardcoded literals. v1.9 adds `${env.<field>}` and
+   `${contract.<field>}` expansion in the resolver, sourced from the
+   environment onboarding JSON. Naming patterns like
+   `acdl-${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}`
+   become expressible. The S3 bucket naming-pattern requirement is the
+   binding example.
+3. **Per-environment CI jobs (no field editing for promotion).** Today a
+   promotion dev → qa requires editing the `environment:` field in the
+   contract YAML. v1.9 ships a hybrid model: (a) per-environment contract
+   files (`.acdl/static-assets.dev.yaml`, `...qa.yaml`, etc.) and (b) an
+   `environment` `workflow_call` input on the reusable deploy workflow
+   that overrides the contract's environment at load time. There is one
+   CI job per environment, each pointing at its respective contract (or
+   the same contract + the env input). Promotion = running the matching
+   job; no field editing.
+4. **Stub implementation.** Identify and implement the stubbed
+   functionality: `separation_of_duties.route_halt_artifact` (logs only →
+   real SNS + outbox event); HITL qa/prod/dr pre-execution attestation
+   gates (only decommission SRE gates are wired today); the full
+   8-concern attestation matrix (offline-testable subset implemented;
+   operator-supplied concerns accept signed evidence artifacts); the Wiz
+   adapter (stub → real API client with graceful degrade); the Kyverno
+   adapter (fleshed out translator, still inactive for Terraform-only
+   stacks). The audit-ledger S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ +
+   daily checkpoints build-out is **deferred** to a future milestone
+   (D-083) — it requires non-offline-testable AWS infra (Object Lock
+   bucket, KMS signing key, SQS DLQ, Lambda worker).
+5. **Post-hoc requirement from previous milestones.** P1-1 from the v1.2
+   review (adapter ECS/ALB/VPC hardcoded defaults — `desired_count = 1`,
+   `launch_type = "FARGATE"`, `target_type = "ip"`,
+   `load_balancer_type = "application"`, `family = "app"`, `Name = ...`
+   — should be parameterized via the L1 interfaces, deferred to v1.3,
+   never implemented) is closed. The adapter becomes a thin translator;
+   the defaults move into `interface.json` inputs.
+
+The milestone also reconstructs `.ciagent/REVIEW.md`, which still holds
+v1.2 review content (v1.3–v1.8 reviews were not persisted). The v1.9
+review overwrites it with current milestone content; a note records the
+historical gap (no git-history rewrite).
+
+## Milestone v1.9 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 39 | design-doc-refresh-and-p1-1-parameterization | Refresh `hitl_matrix_design.md` + `audit_ledger_design.md` to current. Move adapter ECS/ALB/VPC hardcoded defaults into L1 `interface.json` inputs (P1-1 closure). |
+| 40 | contract-interpolation | `${env.<field>}` + `${contract.<field>}` resolver expansion from environment onboarding JSON. Environment JSON schema. Sample contracts use naming patterns (region + account id + environment). |
+| 41 | per-environment-ci-jobs | Per-env contract files + `environment` workflow_call input on the deploy workflow. 1 CI job per environment (dev/qa/prod/dr), each pointing at its respective contract. HITL attestation gate structure wired (qa/prod/dr). |
+| 42 | stub-implementation | `route_halt_artifact` real (SNS + outbox). HITL qa/prod/dr attestation gates. 8-concern attestation matrix (offline-testable subset). Wiz real client. Kyverno translator fleshed out. |
+| 43 | verify-review-audit-complete | 4-layer verify. Multi-persona review. Audit. Complete v1.9 (tag `v1.9.0`, floating tags, `uses:` bump `@v1.6` → `@v1.9`). |
+
+Milestone COMPLETE gate: review → ship `v1.9.0` (feature milestone, next
+minor per run.md — v1.8 shipped `v1.8.0`) → audit.
+
+## Patch v1.9.1 (complete, tag `v1.9.1`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Two leadership-facing presentation
+decks (How the Platform Works + The Developer Experience) for senior
+leadership (CTO, Head of Cloud, Head of Infrastructure, Head of DevOps).
+Each deck has a full markdown source of truth (with speaker notes + mermaid
+diagrams) and a lean Marp deck (no speaker notes, embedded PNG diagrams). A
+README documents the 3-step slide creation process (full markdown → Marp
+synthesis → PPTX export) with conventions, build commands, and maturity
+framing rules. No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` +
+`run_platform.sh --check-only` green.
+
+## Patch v1.9.2 (complete, tag `v1.9.2`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Applies the S&P Global Energy brand
+visual identity to both Marp presentation decks. Brand colors extracted
+from the live spglobal.com compiled Tailwind CSS and SVG logo: red-core
+`#D6002A`, grey-90 `#1B1B1B`, grey-80 `#2E2E2E`, grey-5 `#F0F0F0`, Akkurat
+Pro corporate typeface. Title headers changed to full platform name.
+Footer changed from 'Confidential · For Senior Leadership' to 'Internal'.
+Title slide subtitle removed. Last DX slide renamed from 'The Outcome for
+Leadership' to 'The Desired Outcomes'. Marp `theme: default` kept as base.
+No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only`
+green.
+
+## Patch v1.9.3 (complete, tag `v1.9.3`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Renders both Marp presentation decks
+to self-contained HTML (committed to `docs/presentations/`, base64-embedded
+images, full S&P Global Energy brand theme) and PPTX (uploaded to the Gitea
+release as downloadable attachments). The HTML files are viewable in any
+browser and on the git forge — they render the red accent bar, dark
+title-slide background, red H1 headings, and Akkurat Pro font stack. README
+updated to document HTML as committed artifacts (re-render when Marp source
+changes) and PPTX as release attachments (binary, not committed to git).
+No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only`
+green.
+
+## Patch v1.9.4 (complete, tag `v1.9.4`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Two categories of changes:
+
+1. **Presentation slide updates** — title slide redesigned (deck title as H1
+   slightly bigger, 'Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform' as H3 subtitle on dark
+   background). DX deck: removed Local Reproducibility slide (not beneficial
+   for DX narrative), redesigned Safe Promotion Path with side-by-side
+   HTML table layout for Approaches A and B, 'an agent' → 'an AI agent' on
+   slides 2 and 3, What a Developer Does diagram floated to the right side.
+   Running header simplified to just the deck name.
+
+2. **Complete removal of a compliance framework** — all references to a
+   specific healthcare compliance framework removed from 25 files
+   across the codebase: presentation source files (Marp + full markdown),
+   all module READMEs (S3, RDS, ECR, ECS, VPC, IAM, KMS, CloudFront, ALB,
+   uptime), top-level README, consumer guide, docs index, module standards.
+   Compliance milestone lists now read: GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA. All section
+   references from that framework removed from compliance annotations.
+   Rendered HTML decks re-generated from updated Marp source.
+
+No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only`
+green. PPTX files uploaded to Gitea release.
+
+## Patch v1.9.5 (complete, tag `v1.9.5`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. 9 requirements implemented:
+
+1. DX closing slide strengthened with 'Infrastructure as a utility, not a
+   craft' bullet — conveys the full vision (infrastructure consumed, not
+   maintained; platform compounds value over time).
+2. PW Problem slide: 'moving a merged change' → 'promoting a change'.
+3. PW Problem slide: added 'Red tape' and 'Scalability without increasing
+   headcount' bullets (4 frictions, not 2).
+4. PW Roadmap slide: redesigned with side-by-side HTML table layout
+   (Testing | Planned), 16px font, no overflow.
+5. PW deck: new slide 'What This Platform Is — and Isn't' after North Star
+   (sovereign boundary, infrastructure as utility, 4 anti-goals). PW deck
+   now 16 slides.
+6. Maturity nomenclature: 'Available today'/'shipped' → 'Testing' across
+   both decks + source markdown. New .testing badge (blue/teal). The
+   platform has 0 consumer adoption — 'shipped' was inaccurate.
+7. Global: 'substrate' → 'engine' across entire project (88 matches, 30+
+   files including .ciagent/, docs/, modules/, adapters/, schemas/, code).
+8. Presentation files only: 'forge' → 'VCS' (6 occurrences in 4 files).
+   'forge' retained in all technical docs and code.
+9. New .agentic badge (purple/violet) appended to agentic features in both
+   decks: confidence signal, autonomous dev, pattern recognition, dynamic
+   module creation, citizen developer surface, auto-promotion.
+
+Also: Change Request ID format changed from 'CR-2026-001' to 'CHG0678912'
+across presentation files, consumer guide, and test fixtures.
+
+No code changes (test fixture strings only); 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` +
+`run_platform.sh --check-only` green. PPTX files uploaded to Gitea release.
+
+## Patch v1.9.6 (complete, tag `v1.9.6`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Both Marp presentation decks
+consolidated to 10 high-impact slides each — every slide high-impact, fluff
+eliminated.
+
+**How The Platform Works (16 → 10):**
+- Merged Problem + North Star + What It Is/Isn't → 1 slide (4 frictions →
+  North Star → 3 success criteria → 2 anti-goals)
+- Merged Policy & Security + Secure by Default → 'Security by Construction'
+- Merged Immutable Audit + Human-in-the-Loop → 'Accountability & Audit'
+- Folded Observability, Platform-Managed Environments, Portability into
+  existing slides as bullets
+- Added 'The Vision Realized' closing slide
+
+**The Developer Experience (15 → 10):**
+- Merged What Dev Does + Contract + No Platform Code → 'The Contract — The
+  Entire Consumer Surface'
+- Merged Instant Feedback + Deploy Outputs → 'The Developer Feedback Loop'
+- Merged Safe Promotion Path + Rising Bar → 1 slide
+- Cut Citizen Developer Experience standalone (mentioned on slides 2 + 10)
+- Kept Versioned Releases, Friendly Onboarding, Safe Decommission
+
+**Also:** Removed '5-line YAML' claim from both decks (credibility — complex
+stacks require more lines). Source markdown files unchanged (remain complete
+reference with speaker notes for all original slides).
+
+No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only`
+green. PPTX files uploaded to Gitea release.
+
+## Patch v1.9.7 (complete, tag `v1.9.7`)
+
+Docs-only NFR patch on the v1.9 line. Created 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 with 3-6 talking point
+bullets (punchy, actionable cues) + a key takeaway per slide. The talking
+points are the middle layer between the source of truth (full detail) and
+the Marp deck (what the audience sees). README updated from 3-step to 4-step
+process (added Step 4: talking points), with updated diagram, directory
+layout, checklist, and decks table.
+
+No code changes; 494 tests pass; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only`
+green.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-### Validated
-- Three repos under the `continuous-intelligence` Gitea org: `acdl` (platform + stubs + reusable workflows), `acdl-contracts` (developer surface), `acdl-evidence` (GitHub Pages audit timeline).
-- L1 modules (single-purpose, substrate-agnostic, max-depth-1 primitives) as folders with `manifest.yaml` + `mock_apply.sh`.
-- L2 modules (composed stacks, max-depth-5) grouping L1s into deployable service shapes.
-- L3A developer surface: commit `contract.yaml` to `acdl-contracts`.
-- L3B agentic surface: Python keyword parser turning an Issue body into `contract.yaml`.
-- Confidence signal: base 0.90, drops to 0.40 on policy violation; gate threshold ≥ 0.50.
-- Evidence stream: hash-chained `audit.json` published via Pages + vanilla-JS `index.html` timeline.
-- Reusable CI workflow: Dev (autonomous) → QA (manual approval) → Prod (manual approval) → finalize.
+### v1.0 (Prior milestone — the demo)
 
-### Active
-- 8 L1 modules (serverless/container focus): `l1-eks-fargate`, `l1-iam-role`, `l1-lambda`, `l1-api-gateway`, `l1-eventbridge`, `l1-sqs`, `l1-s3`, `l1-cloudwatch`.
-- 4 L2 modules mirroring S&P Global Energy / Platts use cases: `l2-invoice-service`, `l2-commodity-price-feed`, `l2-energy-analytics-api`, `l2-regulatory-reporting`.
-- 5 core scripts: `mock_executor.sh`, `policy_checker.py`, `confidence_signal.py`, `evidence_writer.py`, `l3b_agent_stub.py`.
-- Issue-triggered workflow in `acdl-contracts` that runs the L3B parser, commits a new branch, closes the issue, and triggers the main pipeline.
-- Evidence stream UI (`index.html`) fetching `audit.json` and rendering events as a timeline.
+Status: complete. Tag `v1.1.0`. All REQ-01..15 satisfied by the stub-driven
+executive demo. See `REQUIREMENTS.md` §v1 and the prior decisions table
+appendix below. The demo is **archived** to `demo/` in Phase 06.
 
-### Out of Scope
-- Real cloud provisioning (AWS/GCP/Azure).
-- Real LLM inference / external AI APIs.
-- Production-grade infrastructure or multi-tenant isolation.
-- Real cryptographic tamper-proofing (the hash chain is demonstrative, not adversarially secure).
+### v1.1 (Prior milestone — architecture finalization + v1 spike, complete)
 
-## Constraints
+New requirements REQ-16..REQ-28 — see `REQUIREMENTS.md` §v1.1. Summary:
 
-- Environment: local Linux OS.
-- CI/CD: GitHub/Gitea Actions + Environments (QA, Prod approval gates).
-- **No cloud** — absolutely no AWS, GCP, or Azure resources.
-- **No AI** — no OpenAI or external LLM APIs; the "Agentic" part is a keyword parser.
-- All state in flat JSON files or CI artifacts.
-- Compute strategy: EKS Fargate + serverless primitives (no VPC module).
-- L1 modules are single-purpose, substrate-agnostic, do not compose with other L1s.
-- L2 modules combine L1 primitives into deployable shapes, max depth 5.
+- **REQ-16:** Architecture finalized to v1.0 (11 open decisions resolved).
+- **REQ-17:** Target Stack IR defined as JSON Schema; engine-agnostic.
+- **REQ-18:** PolicyCheckResult normalized schema defined; Checkov adapter.
+- **REQ-19:** Six-input confidence signal specified with per-env thresholds
+  (dev 0.50 / qa 0.75 / prod 0.90 / dr 0.95) and severity→penalty mapping.
+- **REQ-20:** Tiered audit ledger design (S3 Object Lock 7-yr + DynamoDB
+  outbox, RPO=0, JWS detached signatures, `prev_event_hash` chain).
+- **REQ-21:** Full 8-concern HITL matrix + separation-of-duties design
+  (CODEOWNERS + DynamoDB identity-distinctness).
+- **REQ-22:** Contract schema (JSON Schema draft 2020-12) with per-env
+  mandatory/optional inputs and `profile: agentic` marker for L3B.
+- **REQ-23:** AWS OIDC bootstrap (IAM role + trust policy for act_runner);
+  the long-lived key is used once then rotated (waiver D-034).
+- **REQ-24:** One real L1 module (`l1-s3`) with an IR-typed interface.
+- **REQ-25:** One real L2 thin-composition (`l2-static-assets`) referencing
+  `l1-s3`.
+- **REQ-26:** Terraform adapter compiles the IR to a real `terraform plan`
+  against AWS via OIDC; state in S3 + DynamoDB.
+- **REQ-27:** One end-to-end contract submission → contract→IR resolution →
+  `terraform plan` → Checkov → confidence signal → evidence event to outbox.
+- **REQ-28:** Spike verification proves the IR-shaped commitments hold (no
+  polyglot mess; the adapter is the only engine-specific code).
 
-## Context
+### v1.2 (Prior milestone — platform hardening + first real consumer deployment, complete)
 
-- Forge: Gitea at `https://git.cloudinit.dev`, org `continuous-intelligence`.
-- The `acdl` repo already exists (empty) at org root and serves as the platform/meta repo.
-- `acdl-contracts` and `acdl-evidence` will be created as additional repos in the same org.
-- act_runner / Gitea Actions is the CI runtime; "GitHub Actions" workflow YAML is reused as-is.
+New requirements REQ-29..REQ-35 — see `REQUIREMENTS.md` §v1.2. Summary:
 
-## Key Decisions
+- **REQ-29:** README.md fully documents the v1.1-complete platform: spike
+  flow, how to run, repo layout, v1.2 objective.
+- **REQ-30:** NFR hardening — least-privilege IAM audit, idempotent
+  bootstrap, consolidated `run_platform.sh`, error handling, P1-1/P1-B
+  redaction.
+- **REQ-31:** L1 catalog expanded for ECS — 6 new IR-typed L1s
+  (`l1-vpc`, `l1-ecs-cluster`, `l1-ecs-service`, `l1-iam-role`, `l1-alb`,
+  `l1-ecr`) registered and adapter-compiled.
+- **REQ-32:** `l2-microservice` thin-composition + contract schema extended
+  for microservice inputs (image, port, env, healthcheck).
+- **REQ-33:** `terraform apply` (dev, autonomous) — real provisioning, not
+  just `plan`.
+- **REQ-34:** Consumer repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` with a basic
+  microservice (ECR image, Dockerfile, contract).
+- **REQ-35:** End-to-end verification — consumer commit → live ECS service
+  (HTTP 200) → evidence event → timeline.
+
+### v1.4 (Prior milestone — central pipeline contract + shell reproducibility + streaming)
+
+New requirements REQ-43..REQ-45 — see `REQUIREMENTS.md` §v1.4. Summary:
+
+- **REQ-43:** Central pipeline contract — `schemas/pipeline.schema.json` +
+  `pipelines/ci.yaml`. Both Gitea and GitHub workflows implement the
+  contract; a test validates conformance.
+- **REQ-44:** `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline locally (lint →
+  test → check-only), exiting 0 with "CI PIPELINE OK".
+- **REQ-45:** `scripts/run_platform.sh` streams terraform/checkov output by
+  default (with `--quiet` for log-only mode). Both workflows byte-identical.
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.9)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage (full autonomy — all within locked
+constraints or user-directed scope). New v1.9 decisions (numbered
+D-080+ to avoid collision with v1.8 research decisions D-073..D-077):
 
 | ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
 |----|----------|-----------|---------|
-| D-001 | Use Gitea org `continuous-intelligence` for all repos | User-specified target org; already exists | Single source of truth for the demo |
-| D-002 | Map "GitHub Actions" to Gitea Actions (act_runner) | Environment is Gitea; same workflow YAML syntax | Demo runs on the actual forge |
-| D-003 | Collapse `acdl-platform` into the existing `acdl` repo | `acdl` already exists empty at org root | 3 repos total: `acdl`, `acdl-contracts`, `acdl-evidence` |
-| D-004 | Use Gitea `environment` blocks + required reviewers for QA/Prod; fallback to manual `workflow_dispatch` with approval input | Approval gates required by spec; forge supports environment protection | Frictionless approval gates |
-| D-005 | Hash-chained ledger (`prev_hash` + own `hash`) for evidence; declared demonstrative | Spec asks for simple JSON; chain gives visible tamper-evidence | Visible audit timeline without overengineering |
-| D-006 | Confidence gate threshold = 0.50 exactly | Explicit in spec | Acts 2/4 behave as scripted |
-| D-007 | Each `mock_apply.sh` echoes `[L1: <name>] applying...` + `OK`, sleeps 1s, exits 0 | Spec literal; uniformity aids timeline parsing | Predictable evidence events |
-| D-008 | Keyword→stack mapping for L3B: gas/price/ingest/data-lake → commodity-price-feed; invoice/billing → invoice-service; analytics/historical/query → energy-analytics-api; regulatory/compliance/reporting/trading → regulatory-reporting; fallback → invoice-service | Mirrors the 4 L2 modules + Act 3 example issue | Act 3 reproduces deterministic behavior |
-| D-009 | Init milestone = `v1.0`, branch `milestone/v1.0-initial` | init.md Step 5 mandate | Branching strategy follows convention |
-| D-010 | Single-project mode for the `acdl` checkout | User chose standalone single-project | `---ci---` blocks omit `project:` field |
-| D-011 | Single-project mode explicitly enforced via `config.json mode: "single"` overriding `projects[]` length signal | run.md Step 0 reads `projects[]` length as multi-project trigger; explicit flag disambiguates | No `project:` prefix in commits or branches |
-| D-012 | Gitea has no native Pages — serve `acdl-evidence` via raw file URLs (`/raw/branch/main/...`) and a CORS note in ARCHITECTURE.md | Research confirms Gitea has no `[pages]` section | Demo can render `index.html` via raw URL without server-side Pages config |
-| D-013 | Gitea has no environments API and ignores `jobs.<id>.environment` — model QA/Prod gates as `workflow_dispatch` approval inputs (D-004 fallback) | Research confirms `environment:` blocks are ignored by act_runner | Approval gates become dispatch inputs; "environments" become workflow job names + optional branch protection on `qa`/`prod` branches |
-| D-014 | Cross-repo triggering uses the `workflow_dispatch` Gitea API (POST `/actions/workflows/{id}/dispatches`) from inside a step instead of `repository_dispatch` | Gitea Actions does not support `repository_dispatch` | Issue-trigger workflow calls the main pipeline via authenticated dispatch from a step |
-| D-015 | New repos `acdl-contracts` and `acdl-evidence` use `default_branch: "main"` with `auto_init: true` | Matches Gitea `DEFAULT_BRANCH=main`; required for the default branch to exist before any push | Reusable-workflow `uses:` references still pin `acdl` workflows to `@milestone/v1.0-initial` |
-| D-016 | Pages placeholder for Phase 01 is a minimal HTML stub (`<title>ACDL Evidence</title>` + "evidence stream coming soon"); full UI deferred to Phase 05 | Phase 01 success criterion is "Pages returns 200 with placeholder index.html" but Gitea has no Pages | Raw-URL HTTP 200 against `index.html` substitutes for the Pages check; full timeline UI built in Phase 05 |
-| D-017 | Each L1 `manifest.yaml` declares a single `inputs:` map of named string keys with descriptions; no nested types (substrate-agnostic, max-depth-1) | REQ-02/03 say "declared inputs"; spec forbids composition and cloud-specific types | Uniform, parseable schema that Phase 03's `mock_executor.sh` can read with python+yaml |
-| D-018 | L1 `mock_apply.sh` reads its own `manifest.yaml` for self-identification but ignores the input values (uniform stub per D-007) | D-007 mandates a literal echo + 1s sleep + exit 0; inputs are declared for traceability, not consumed | Predictable evidence events + clean separation from Phase 03 where L2s pass inputs to L1s |
-| D-019 | The 8 L1 names are fixed per REQ-02: `l1-eks-fargate`, `l1-iam-role`, `l1-lambda`, `l1-api-gateway`, `l1-eventbridge`, `l1-sqs`, `l1-s3`, `l1-cloudwatch` | REQ-02 literal | Phase 02 enumerates them exactly; no naming freedom |
-| D-020 | L2 `manifest.yaml` schema: `name`, `kind: l2`, `description`, `l1s:` (list of `{name, inputs: map}` entries). L2 references L1s by name (no path); inputs are string maps per L1 manifest declarations | REQ-04 says L2 "composes L1s"; REQ-05 caps depth at 5 (L2→L1 is depth 1) | mock_executor.sh reads `l1s:` and invokes each L1's `mock_apply.sh` |
-| D-021 | `contract.yaml` schema: `stack` (L2 name), `inputs` (string map for the L2's top-level params), optional `public-ingress: bool` (the policy violation key per REQ-07) | REQ-07 cites `public-ingress: true` as the forbidden key; REQ-08's confidence signal keys off policy pass/fail | Single flat schema drives both policy_checker and the mock_executor |
-| D-022 | `mock_executor.sh` writes `state.json` with shape `{"l2": "<name>", "l1s": [{"name":"...","applied":true,"exit_code":0}], "contract": <contract.yaml parsed>}` to the cwd; idempotent (overwrites) | REQ-06 says "writes state.json" but does not specify shape | Deterministic, parseable; Phase 05's evidence UI can include it in the audit trail |
-| D-023 | `evidence_writer.py` appends events to `audit.json` (a JSON array of event objects). Each event: `{"seq": N, "ts": <iso8601>, "stage": "dev|qa|prod|finalize", "event": "<string>", "prev_hash": "<sha256>", "hash": "<sha256 of canonical json of this event with hash field empty>"}`. The genesis event has `prev_hash: "GENESIS"` and `seq: 0` | D-005 mandates hash-chained ledger; canonical JSON for deterministic hashing | Visible tamper-evidence without overengineering; Phase 05 UI reads the array |
-| D-024 | `confidence_signal.py` reads `contract.yaml`, calls `policy_checker.py` (as a subprocess or import), returns base 0.90 on pass and 0.40 with reason code on policy failure; prints `{"score": 0.90|0.40, "reason": "<POLICY_VIOLATION:...|>"}` to stdout; exit 0 always | REQ-08 literal: base 0.90, drops to 0.40, gate ≥ 0.50 | Deterministic JSON output for the pipeline to consume |
-| D-025 | `policy_checker.py` reads `contract.yaml`, fails with exit code 1 and stdout `POLICY_VIOLATION:PUBLIC_INGRESS` if `public-ingress: true`; otherwise exits 0 with stdout `POLICY_PASS` | REQ-07 literal | Single source of policy truth; called by confidence_signal and the pipeline directly |
-| D-026 | `l3b_agent_stub.py` reads Issue body text from argv[1] (or stdin if no argv), applies the D-008 keyword map, writes a `contract.yaml` to stdout (or to `-o <path>`). Output contract uses the D-021 schema with `stack:` set to the mapped L2 name and a fixed `inputs:` map per L2 | D-008 + Act 3 example; L3B must produce the same contract format as L3A | Deterministic keyword parser; no external APIs |
+| D-080 | New milestone v1.9 (feature); ship tag `v1.9.0`. | v1.8 is complete (audit PASS, tag v1.8.0). The work (design doc updates + interpolation + per-env CI + stubs + P1-1) is a new feature milestone, not v1.8 post-hoc patching. | 5 phases (39–43) in one milestone. |
+| D-081 | Interpolation syntax: `${env.<field>}` + `${contract.<field>}` (dotted paths supported, e.g. `${env.state_backend.bucket}`). Expanded by the resolver post-schema-validation, pre-IR-resolution. Fail loud on unresolved tokens (`ValueError`). | Shell-style syntax is familiar, unambiguous, and has no conflict with YAML or the contract schema. The `env` context is the loaded environment onboarding JSON; `contract` is the contract dict. | Phase 40 implements the expansion + environment JSON schema. |
+| D-082 | Hybrid per-environment promotion model: (a) per-env contract files AND (b) an `environment` `workflow_call` input on the reusable deploy workflow that overrides the contract's environment at load time. One CI job per environment. | User chose to support both shapes. Per-env contracts let env-specific values differ via interpolation; the env input lets a single contract be promoted without editing. Promotion = running the matching job; no `environment:` field editing. | Phase 41 ships per-env contracts + the env input + caller-workflow docs. |
+| D-083 | Audit ledger S3 Object Lock + JWS detached signatures + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints **deferred** to a future milestone. | Requires non-offline-testable AWS infra (Object Lock bucket, KMS signing key, SQS DLQ, Lambda worker). The hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox path remains the v1.9 production audit record. `audit_ledger_design.md` marks this clearly. | Phase 39 updates the design doc; no build-out in v1.9. |
+| D-084 | 8-concern attestation matrix: offline-testable concerns (contract NFRs, schema validity, policy pass) run for real; operator-supplied concerns (k6 load test, DR drill, FinOps forecast) accept signed evidence artifacts validated for freshness + schema, failing loud if missing/expired for prod/dr. | The platform cannot run live load tests / DR drills / FinOps forecasts inline. Accepting signed evidence artifacts with freshness + schema validation is the regulatorily-defensible middle ground. | Phase 42 implements `core/attestation_matrix.py`. |
+| D-085 | P1-1 closure: adapter ECS/ALB/VPC hardcoded defaults (`desired_count = 1`, `launch_type = "FARGATE"`, `target_type = "ip"`, `load_balancer_type = "application"`, `family = "app"`, `Name = ...`) move into L1 `interface.json` inputs with defaults. The adapter reads inputs (falling back to interface defaults) and is a thin translator. | P1-1 was flagged in the v1.2 review (deferred to v1.3, never implemented). Defaults belong in the L1 interface, not the adapter. | Phase 39 closes P1-1. |
+| D-086 | `.ciagent/REVIEW.md` reconstructed at v1.9 complete; v1.3–v1.8 reviews noted as not-persisted (no git-history rewrite). | REVIEW.md still holds v1.2 content — later milestone reviews were not persisted or were overwritten. The v1.9 review overwrites it with current content; a note records the historical gap. | Phase 43 reconstructs REVIEW.md. |
+
+### CLARIFY auto-resolved parameters (full autonomy)
+
+| Parameter | Value | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| Per-env `qa.json/prod.json/dr.json` account_id | `000000000000` placeholder + stderr warning at load if account_id is `000000000000` and env ≠ dev | Consistent with `dev.json`; prompts real binding without breaking offline tests. |
+| SNS topic for `route_halt_artifact` | Defined in `terraform/platform/main.tf` AND code reads `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN` | Consistent with the existing Lambda/KMS/Secrets pattern (Terraform defines, code reads env). |
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Forge:** Gitea at `https://git.cloudinit.dev`, org `continuous-intelligence`.
+- **CI runtime:** act_runner / Gitea Actions (reuses GitHub Actions workflow YAML).
+- **Cloud:** AWS via OIDC federation. **Long-lived credentials are forbidden**
+  (§12.5). The v1.1 spike uses a temporary long-lived key **once** to bootstrap
+  OIDC (waiver D-034), then rotates it.
+- **Angine:** Terraform adapter in v1 (the only adapter). L1/L2 are
+  engine-agnostic in shape; the adapter is the only engine-specific code.
+- **State:** S3 (state files) + DynamoDB (locking), single-region in v1.
+- **Environments:** dev (autonomous) → qa (QA HITL) → prod (SRE HITL) → dr
+  (SRE HITL). **Staging does not exist** (Path A locked).
+- **Compute:** abstract / containerized / serverless. No VMs, bare metal, OS
+  lifecycle.
+- **Autonomy:** Full. Escalation hooks: deploy, delete_data, merge_to_main.
+
+## Anti-Goals (from `docs/vision.md` §7)
+
+- Not an upstream development platform (no product backlogs, IDE, code authorship).
+- Not a general-purpose AI (autonomy is narrow, bounded by policy envelopes).
+- Not a legacy infrastructure bridge (no VMs/bare metal/OS).
+- Not a permissive delivery highway (no escape hatches past confidence or HITL).
+- Not a mutable audit log (VCS history ≠ regulatory evidence).
+
+## Context
+
+- The `acdl` repo exists at the org root. `acdl-contracts` and
+  `acdl-evidence` exist from the v1.0 demo and continue as the developer
+  surface and the audit-timeline host respectively.
+- `docs/vision.md` and `docs/architecture.md` (v0.2) are the upstream
+  vision/architecture sources, pulled from `origin/main` at the start of v1.1.
+- The v1.0 demo (tag `v1.1.0`) is the reference of intent — it proved the
+  shape (L1/L2/contract/confidence/evidence/HITL) on stubs. v1.1 replaces the
+  stubs with the real platform engine.
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.1)
+
+Carries forward the still-valid v1.0 decisions (see appendix). New v1.1
+decisions:
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----|----------|-----------|---------|
+| D-034 | Temporary long-lived AWS key (waiver) used once in Phase 08 to bootstrap the state backend + IAM user; rotated/deactivated immediately after | §12.5 forbids long-lived creds; the bootstrap needed one `aws iam` call before the spike user + rotated key could take over | Spike achieves real `terraform plan` against AWS without violating the locked target after bootstrap. **CLOSED 2026-07-21: root key `AKIA…ROOT-DEACTIVATED` deactivated by the user in the AWS IAM console (verified — `InvalidClientTokenId`); the spike uses the rotated `acdl-spike-runner` key per D-039. Key ID redacted in v1.2 Phase 12 (P1-1).** |
+| D-035 | Milestone version = `v1.1` (feature), ship tag `v1.2.0` | Real platform is a breaking reframing of the demo, but treated as the next incremental milestone per user choice; ship.md: feature milestone → next minor | Tag `v1.2.0` on milestone COMPLETE |
+| D-036 | Spike picks `l1-s3` + `l2-static-assets` | Simplest real AWS resource (no IAM/network deps); smallest real `terraform plan`; proves the IR + adapter end-to-end | Spike scope fixed |
+| D-037 | Demo archived to `demo/` (not deleted) | Preserves the working v1.0 demo as intent reference; new platform layout under `platform/`, `schemas/`, `adapters/`, `terraform/`, `modules-ir/` | No churn on demo code; clean separation |
+| D-038 | Open decisions resolved in "accept recommendations + decide rest" mode | User-locked mode: accept architecture's stated recommendations (W1.A, W1.B, W2.A, BA.A); lead-developer decides the remaining 8 (W3.D, W3.E, BA.B, BA.C, BA.D, BA.E, BA.F, OpenTofu timing) with rationale | Architecture reaches v1.0 in Phase 07 |
+| D-039 | Spike-only waiver: per-run-rotated long-lived AWS key. OIDC federation deferred to v1.2, blocked on go-gitea/gitea#36988. | **RESEARCH TARGET 1 verdict (conf 0.95):** Gitea Actions does NOT support `id-token: write` / OIDC token issuance as of Gitea 1.27.x / gitea-runner v2.1.0. GitHub's OIDC pattern is not portable. The waiver satisfies §12.5's *intent* (no persistent long-lived key) for the spike: the key is rotated after each run by `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`. v1.2 implements real OIDC when the Gitea PR merges. | Spike achieves real `terraform plan` against AWS without a *persistently* long-lived key; real OIDC is a v1.2 deliverable |
+| D-040 | The 6 confidence-signal inputs are: policy (0.30), validation (0.25), freshness (0.10), source (0.15), history (0.10), nfrs (0.10). Weights frozen for v1, tuned in v1.2 alongside thresholds (BA.B). | Architecture §8 locks "six canonical inputs" but does not enumerate them; RESEARCH TARGET 6 chose the platform-computable subset present in every environment (incl. dev). | Confidence signal (Phase 10) has a concrete input enumeration |
+| D-041 | Spike audit ledger = v1.0 hash chain + DynamoDB outbox + `acdl-evidence` mirror. S3 Object Lock (compliance mode, 7-yr) + JWS (platform KMS key, quarterly rotation) + daily checkpoints are v1.2 build-out, authored as design in Phase 07. | REQ-20 is "design authored," not "implemented." The spike proves the outbox write path; the regulatory ledger is v1.2. | Spike scope stays bounded; REQ-20 satisfied by the Phase 07 design doc |
+| D-042 | HITL approver identity in Gitea = `gitea.actor` of the `workflow_dispatch` run that sets `approve_qa=true`/`approve_prod=true`/`approve_dr=true`. Separation-of-duties reads `approver_qa` from the DynamoDB outbox and compares to the prod-dispatch `gitea.actor`. | Gitea has no Environments API (re-confirmed in RESEARCH); `gitea.actor` is the only approval-identity signal. | SoD design (Phase 07) is concrete for the Gitea forge |
+| D-043 | Tag/naming compliance deferred for the spike: the Checkov adapter emits a single `SKIPPED` PolicyCheckResult (`ruleId: ACDL_TAG_NAMING`, `severity: info`) so the confidence policy input is non-empty. Custom Checkov YAML rule lands in v1.2. | Checkov has no built-in tag-presence check; a custom rule in the spike is scope creep. | Spike's policy input is non-empty without a custom-rule dependency |
+| D-044 | DynamoDB outbox = `PAY_PER_REQUEST`; PK `contractId`, SK `eventType#eventTs`, TTL `expire_at` = now + 365d. No separate async worker/DLQ in the spike (RTO = workflow re-run); v1.2 outbox worker + DLQ is a Phase 07 design artifact. | On-demand is zero-cost-at-idle for the spike's single dev submission. | Spike outbox is minimal; v1.2 worker design authored in Phase 07 |
+| D-045 | Runner tooling: `runs-on: ubuntu-latest`; install `terraform` via HashiCorp apt repo (pin `1.9.*`), `checkov` via pip (pin `>=3.2,<4`, `--break-system-packages`). Neither is pre-installed on the default runner image. | RESEARCH TARGET 2; pinning avoids mid-spike version drift. | Phase 09/10 workflows have a concrete setup step |
+| D-046 | `act_runner` → `gitea-runner` rename: Phase 07 updates docs to use the current name `gitea-runner` (renamed 2026-04 in gitea/runner#850). | RESEARCH TARGET 1 + R-4: naming drift between v1.0 docs and the current runner. | Docs reflect the current binary name |
+| D-047 | v1.2 carries forward the D-039 per-run-rotated-key waiver. Real OIDC federation remains deferred to v1.3+, blocked on go-gitea/gitea#36988 (re-checked 2026-07-21: still **open**, last updated 2026-05-27, not merged). | §12.5 forbids long-lived creds; the Gitea Actions OIDC provider is still not merged. The waiver continues to satisfy §12.5's *intent* (no *persistently* long-lived key) for v1.2: `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` rotates the key, and Phase 12 tightens the IAM scoping + rotation hygiene. | v1.2 achieves `terraform apply` against AWS without a persistently long-lived key; real OIDC is a v1.3+ deliverable. |
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.8)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage (full autonomy — all within locked
+constraints or user-directed scope). New v1.8 decisions:
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----|----------|-----------|---------|
+| D-061 | Fold all 3 new requirements into v1.8 alongside P1 fixes. | User chose single milestone. v1.8 becomes a feature milestone (ship tag v1.8.0, minor bump). | 11 phases (28–38) in one milestone. |
+| D-062 | P1-3: SSM publisher fails loud (`RuntimeError`) when `ACDL_KMS_KEY_ID` unset. `ACDL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_KMS=1` escape hatch for local testing. | User chose fail loud. Silent AWS-managed-key use is the security gap; callers must set the env. | Phase 29 implements fail-loud + escape hatch. |
+| D-063 | P1-6: `consumer_invoke_policy.json` rendered via Terraform `data.aws_caller_identity` + `templatestring` at apply time. | User chose Terraform-rendered. No committed account ID; no stale placeholder. | Phase 29 converts JSON to TF-rendered template. |
+| D-064 | P1-8: Remove committed `terraform/spike/*.tf` entirely; adapter emits to per-run temp dir. | User chose remove. Cleaner; no stale fixtures. | Phase 30 removes files + changes run_platform.sh target. |
+| D-065 | S1: Single conditional `configure-aws-credentials` step (OIDC when no static key, access-key/secret-key inputs when static key present). | User chose single conditional step. Cleaner workflow YAML. | Phase 30 restructures the deploy workflow step. |
+| D-066 | Uptime deployment target: ECS Fargate (reuse existing ecs-cluster + ecs-service + alb primitives). | User chose ECS Fargate. Most consistent with current platform; ALB gives a stable URL. | Phase 33 authors uptime primitive on ECS Fargate. |
+| D-067 | Uptime trigger: new `deploy-uptime` pipeline stage after `publish-outputs`. Separate terraform state (S3 key prefix `uptime/`). | User chose pipeline stage. Most integrated with existing flow. | Phase 33 adds the pipeline stage + separate state. |
+| D-068 | CMDB = DynamoDB `acdl-change-requests` table (PK changeRequestId, SK submittedAt). | User chose DynamoDB. Consistent with existing platform Lambda + DynamoDB pattern. | Phase 34 adds the table + `validate_change_request` Lambda action. |
+| D-069 | Encryption key granularity: per-stack CMK (one key per L2 deployment, tagged with acdl:owner + acdl:environment). | User chose per-stack. No shared keys across stacks; 90-day rotation at creation. | Phase 31 authors kms-key primitive + L2 wiring. |
+| D-070 | Decommission: new mode on the existing deploy pipeline (`mode: decommission`). 2-step with HITL SRE gates. | User chose existing pipeline with different behavior. Plan/apply to disable deletion protection (HITL SRE gate) → plan/apply with counts=0 (second HITL SRE gate). Documented in consumer guide. | Phase 34 adds decommission mode + HITL gates. |
+| D-071 | `uses:`/`ref:` bump from `@v1.6` to `@v1.8` at milestone COMPLETE. | Consumer-facing version tracks the last released MAJOR.MINOR. | Phase 38 bumps references + creates floating `v1.8` + `v1` tags. |
+| D-072 | Managed KMS fallback for standalone L1 deployments (no L2 CMK): adapter uses `alias/aws/<service>` with a stderr warning. `kms_key_arn` input is optional everywhere; `encryption_enabled` NFR defaults to true. | Requirement says "prioritize CMKs, fallback to managed KMS". Standalone L1s don't have a per-stack CMK. | Phase 31 implements fallback + warning. |
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.7)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage (full autonomy — all within locked constraints
+or user-directed scope). New v1.7 decisions:
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----|----------|-----------|---------|
+| D-048 | Rename `static-assets` → `static-assets`: **rewrite all occurrences** including verbatim historical phase descriptions in `.ciagent/` (ROADMAP, REQUIREMENTS, RESEARCH, decision tables), overriding the v1.6 audit precedent that preserved some historical references. | User chose full rewrite. Maximally consistent; the reconstruction test is updated to expect `static-assets` throughout. | Phase 22 rewrites every `static-assets` string to `static-assets`; no preserved historical tokens remain. |
+| D-049 | Production static-assets stack = S3 + CloudFront (OAC) + WAF. | Self-contained, domain-free production edge. Route53/ACM are domain-dependent (consumer-supplied) and deferred to documented extension points / a complex example. | Phase 22 authors `cloudfront` + `waf` primitives and augments the module. |
+| D-050 | Deploy outputs: SSM Parameter Store (`SecureString`, KMS-encrypted, namespaced `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output_name}`) for runtime-injectable values + GitHub PR comment / job summary for human-readable connection strings. | Two canonical mechanisms: SSM for resources that read at runtime; PR comment for developers. No raw secrets in logs. | Phase 25 implements `core/output_publisher.py` + two new pipeline stages. |
+| D-051 | Contract ingestion storage = DynamoDB table `acdl-contracts` (PK `consumerRepo`, SK `contractId#submittedAt`, SSE via customer-managed CMK, point-in-time recovery). | Enables historical queries, impact analysis, CMDB-style application-state queries, and pattern detection via DynamoDB queries. S3 flat-file mirror deferred (DynamoDB is sufficient for v1.7). | Phase 24 defines the table + Lambda. |
+| D-052 | Wiz adapter = stub + schema path (no live Wiz tenant in CI). | Matches the Checkov adapter pattern; typed interface, offline-testable, degrades gracefully when unconfigured (emits `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED` SKIPPED record). | Phase 23 authors `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py`. |
+| D-053 | Kyverno adapter = K8s-native policy adapter translating `PolicyReport` results → `PolicyCheckResult`. Ready but inactive for Terraform-only stacks. | The platform emits Terraform, not K8s manifests. The adapter activates when the GitOps reconciler (roadmap) emits K8s manifests. Sample policies included as documentation. | Phase 23 authors `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py` + sample policies. |
+| D-054 | Tagging standard = required-tag set (`acdl:owner`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:environment`, `acdl:cost-center`) enforced by a Checkov custom YAML rule. | Closes the D-043 deferral (the SKIPPED `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` placeholder becomes a real check). Naming-convention regex deferred (brittle across AWS resource types). | Phase 23 authors `schemas/tagging-standard.json` + `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.yaml`. |
+| D-055 | Error reporting = the platform Lambda `report_error` action creates a GitHub issue on the platform repo (`acdl/acdl`). Uniform communication pathway via the Lambda; the consumer's onboarding-granted Lambda-invoke permission is the only grant needed. No separate GitHub `issues: write` on the consumer side. Gitea is excluded (only the CIAgent uses it; platform engineers and consumers use GitHub). | Unifies requirements 4 + 8 around one mechanism. The Lambda holds a GitHub token (Secrets Manager) scoped to the platform repo. Idempotent (comments on existing open issue rather than duplicating). | Phase 24 prepares the action; Phase 25 implements it + wires the `if: failure()` workflow step. |
+| D-056 | Ship `v1.7.0`; bump `uses:`/`ref:` from `@v1.4` to `@v1.6`. | Consumer-facing version tracks the last released MAJOR.MINOR. Consumers on `@v1.4` stay on v1.4 behavior until they bump. | Phase 22 bumps the references. |
+| D-057 | The `uses:`/`ref:` bump + floating `v1.6`/`v1` tag creation happen in Phase 22 (pointing at `v1.6.0`), so the reference never points at a non-existent tag. The release job (Phase 26) owns ongoing tag updates. | Sequencing: if Phase 22 bumps `uses:` to `@v1.6` but the tag doesn't exist, the reference is temporarily broken. Creating the tag early (pointing at the last release) fixes this. | Phase 22 creates the floating tags; Phase 26's release job maintains them. |
+| D-058 | Module examples = separate validated files in `modules/<name>/examples/` (`simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml` + variation files), validated against `schemas/contract.schema.json` in the platform-test pipeline schema-validation stage. Each module's README `## Examples` section references + excerpts them. | Examples cannot drift from the schema silently. | Phase 27 authors the example files; Phase 26's platform-test pipeline validates them. |
+| D-059 | Add an RDS primitive (`modules/l1/rds/`) with an `engine` input (enum: postgres, mysql, etc.) + a multi-engine example demonstrating the variation pattern. | Concrete demonstration of the multi-engine variation the requirement calls out. Adds one primitive + examples. | Phase 27 authors the primitive + adapter expansion + examples. |
+| D-060 | (Consolidated into D-058.) | — | — |
+
+### Open-decision resolutions (Phase 07 deliverable — recorded here for traceability)
+
+| ID | Question | Resolution |
+|---|---|---|
+| W1.A | AI-refinement trigger | **Accept recommendation.** Joint condition: N ≥ 50 consecutive changes with zero rollbacks AND no L1/L2 incident in last 6 months AND Infra & Ops unilateral override. |
+| W1.B | Multi-stack edge case rule | **Accept recommendation.** Permitted only for (a) DR-region mirror, (b) time-boxed experimental stack with TTL ≤ 30d, (c) explicit Infra & Ops approval with `multiStack.justification`. |
+| W2.A | Tag mutability for prod | **Accept recommendation (Path B).** Tag for dev/qa, SHA for prod. Platform CLI resolves tag→SHA for prod-bound workflows. Justified by the "Audit truth lives outside the repository" bet. |
+| BA.A | Initial L3B skill catalog | **Accept recommendation.** 5 skills: web API, worker, scheduled job, static asset, basic observability bootstrap. Addition criteria: (a) reviewable for sensitive data, (b) expressible as a single contract submission, (c) documented use case. |
+| W3.D | L1/L2 standard versioning | **Decided.** Semver: interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR, lifecycle → PATCH (same as the v1.0 demo D-rule, lifted to the real platform). Pin model: L2 contracts pin L1 by `name@semver`; the resolver picks the highest compatible. Evolution: MAJOR bumps require a new registry entry (immutable publication); old entry enters a 12-month deprecation window. |
+| W3.E | Schema mandatory vs optional inputs | **Decided.** Per-env mandatory table: dev requires `stack` + `environment`; qa adds `validation.e2eSuite` + `validation.loadTest`; prod adds `runbook` + `dashboard` + `oncall`; dr adds `drDrillRef`. `inputs` map is always optional. `profile: agentic` fields (`naturalLanguageIntent`, `confidenceAtSubmission`, `agentTrace`) optional everywhere. |
+| BA.B | Confidence threshold tuning | **Decided.** Starting thresholds frozen for v1. Tuning begins in v1.2: track FP/FN per environment quarterly; override authority = Infra & Ops + SRE joint sign-off; any override is itself a confidence-event in the audit stream. |
+| BA.C | On-call / operational ownership | **Decided.** Platform on-call = Infra & Ops rotation. Escalation: L3A/L3B halt → platform on-call pager (Sev2); consumer-visible outage → consumer on-call (Sev1) with platform on-call support. Consumer on-call relationship is contractual, defined at onboarding (BA.E). |
+| BA.D | Cost / capacity governance | **Decided.** Cloud cost owner = Infra & Ops FinOps. Per-contract consumption reported monthly. Runaway spend: hard halt at 120% of contract-declared budget envelope via the confidence signal (cost is one of the 6 inputs); override = FinOps + SRE joint sign-off. |
+| BA.E | Consumer onboarding | **Decided.** Two paths: developer (L3A) — `getting-started` walks through contract schema + central pipeline template; citizen developer (L3B) — onboarding grants a scoped agent + skill catalog, no workflow authoring. Both end in a sandbox dev submission that must pass the confidence gate before the consumer is promoted. |
+| BA.F | Cross-platform evolution | **Decided.** The contract schema, IR, PolicyCheckResult, confidence signal, and audit stream are portable (engine- and forge-agnostic). Forge-specific code: workflow YAML, OIDC trust, CODEOWNERS, Environments. A second forge (e.g., GitLab) requires a forge adapter + a workflow-template translator; no change to L1/L2/IR/confidence/audit. |
+| Q1.3 | OpenTofu timing | **Decided (deferred).** Not in v1 or v1.1. The engine abstraction (§12) makes OpenTofu a future adapter, not an architecture change. Revisit when an OpenTofu adapter is requested; no version committed. |
+
+## Appendix — Prior milestone (v1.0 demo) decisions
+
+The v1.0 demo (tag `v1.1.0`) carried decisions D-001..D-033. They governed
+the stub-driven executive demo and remain valid **for the archived demo
+under `demo/`**. They are **superseded** by the v1.1 decisions above for the
+real platform. Full text preserved in git history at tag `v1.1.0`.
+
+## Operational parameters (CLARIFY auto-resolution, full autonomy)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage to unblock planning. None require user
+sign-off (autonomy = full; all within locked constraints).
+
+| Parameter | Value | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|
+| AWS region | `us-east-1` | Default; matches v1.0 demo references; single-region in v1 (§12.3) |
+| Terraform state bucket | `acdl-tfstate-<account-id>-us-east-1` | Namespaced by account id to avoid collision; region-suffixed |
+| Terraform lock table | `acdl-tflock` | DynamoDB; single-region v1 |
+| OIDC IAM role | `acdl-act-runner-role` | Assumed by the act_runner via web-identity |
+| OIDC trust subject | `repo:continuous-intelligence/acdl:ref:refs/heads/main` (+ phase branches) | Least-privilege; refined in Phase 08 |
+| Spike L1 (`l1-s3`) inputs | `bucket_name: string`, `region: string` | Minimal S3 interface per §2 |
+| Spike L2 (`l2-static-assets`) | thin-composition referencing `l1-s3` only; depth 1 | Smallest real plan per D-036 |
+| Spike contract | `contracts/spike.yaml`: `stack: l2-static-assets`, `environment: dev`, `inputs: { bucket_name: acdl-spike-bucket, region: us-east-1 }` | One end-to-end submission (REQ-27) |
+| Spike `terraform` command | `plan` only | `apply` is out of scope (Out of Scope table); HITL-gated in v1.2 |
+| Checkov ruleset (spike) | the 4 L2 checks (secrets-in-plaintext, public ingress, IAM wildcard, KMS key reference) + tag/naming | §3 + §12.4; Kyverno/OPA deferred |
+| v1.0 tags preserved | `v1.0.1`..`v1.0.5`, `v1.1.0` retained | Immutability; demo archive does not rewrite history |
+| Next ship tag | `v1.3.0` | Feature milestone → next minor per ship.md (v1.1 shipped `v1.2.0`; v1.2 ships `v1.3.0`) |
+
+### Items deferred to RESEARCH (not clarifications)
+
+- **Gitea/act_runner OIDC support** — does act_runner emit an OIDC
+  `id-token`? Determines whether real-AWS plan is achievable in this
+  environment or whether a spike-only waiver is needed. Highest-priority
+  research target.
+- **Terraform + Checkov availability on the runner image** — install in the
+  workflow if missing.
+- **`actions/configure-aws-credentials` action on act_runner** — if
+  unavailable, fall back to `aws sts assume-role-with-web-identity` from a
+  step.

-## Clarifications (Phase 01)
+## v1.1 (Prior milestone — architecture finalization + v1 spike, complete)
+
+### Category: Architecture Finalization
+- **REQ-16:** Architecture reaches v1.0 — all 11 open decisions in `docs/architecture.md` §13 are resolved and recorded in `PROJECT.md` (W1.A, W1.B, W2.A, W3.D, W3.E, BA.A–F, OpenTofu timing).
+- **REQ-17:** Target Stack IR is defined as a JSON Schema under `schemas/ir.schema.json`; engine-agnostic (resources, relationships, composition max-depth-5, policy hooks).
+- **REQ-18:** `PolicyCheckResult` normalized schema is defined under `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`; a Checkov adapter translates Checkov JSON to this schema.
+- **REQ-19:** Six-input confidence signal is specified under `platform/confidence_signal.py` with per-env thresholds (dev 0.50 / qa 0.75 / prod 0.90 / dr 0.95) and severity→penalty mapping (critical=hard override, high=-0.2, medium=-0.05, low=-0.01, info=0.0).
+- **REQ-20:** Tiered audit ledger design is authored: S3 Object Lock (compliance mode, 7-yr) + DynamoDB outbox (RPO=0, JWS detached signatures, `prev_event_hash` chain, daily checkpoints).
+- **REQ-21:** Full 8-concern HITL matrix + separation-of-duties design is authored (CODEOWNERS routing + DynamoDB identity-distinctness check; pre-execution gate model; 1d warn / 2d freeze timeout).
+- **REQ-22:** Contract schema (JSON Schema draft 2020-12) is defined under `schemas/contract.schema.json` with per-env mandatory/optional inputs (W3.E) and `profile: agentic` marker for L3B fields.
+
+### Category: AWS OIDC Bootstrap
+- **REQ-23:** AWS auth bootstrap + state backend for the spike: an S3 state bucket + DynamoDB lock/outbox table + an IAM user with a minimal scoped policy (S3 + DynamoDB + plan-only). The temporary long-lived key is used once (waiver D-034) then rotated via `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` after each spike run (D-039). **Real OIDC federation is deferred to v1.2** — Gitea Actions does not support `id-token: write` (RESEARCH TARGET 1, conf 0.95), blocked on go-gitea/gitea#36988.
+
+### Category: v1 Spike — IR, L1, Adapter
+- **REQ-24:** One real L1 module `l1-s3` exists under `modules-ir/l1/l1-s3/` with an IR-typed interface (typed inputs/outputs/NFRs) registered in the L1 registry.
+- **REQ-25:** One real L2 thin-composition `l2-static-assets` exists under `modules-ir/l2/l2-static-assets/` referencing `l1-s3` only (depth 1, within max-depth-5).
+- **REQ-26:** The Terraform adapter (`adapters/terraform/`) compiles the IR-typed L1 interface to Terraform `variable`/`output` blocks and the L2 thin-composition tree to a Terraform root module; it emits a real `terraform plan` against AWS via OIDC; state is stored in S3 + DynamoDB.
+
+### Category: v1 Spike — End-to-End
+- **REQ-27:** One end-to-end contract submission (`contracts/spike.yaml` for `l2-static-assets`) flows through: contract schema validation → contract→IR resolution → `terraform plan` (real AWS) → Checkov `PolicyCheckResult` → confidence signal → evidence event written to the DynamoDB outbox.
+- **REQ-28:** Spike verification (`scripts/verify_phase10.sh`) proves the IR-shaped commitments hold: the adapter is the only engine-specific code; no polyglot mess; the L1 content, contract YML, and thin-composition tree are engine-agnostic.
+
+## Out of Scope (v1.1)
+
+| Feature | Reason |
+|---------|--------|
+| Full HITL matrix wiring (qa/prod/dr) | Spike is dev-only (`terraform plan`); HITL wiring is v1.2. |
+| Kyverno + OPA policy engines | Spike uses Checkov only; Kyverno/OPA are v1.2. |
+| MCP skill catalog + real L3B agent | L3B spike = a single stub contract submission; the 5-skill catalog is v1.2. |
+| GitOps reconciler (ArgoCD/Flux) | v1.2. |
+| Multi-region state / outbox | Single-region in v1 (§9, §12.3). |
+| Prod/dr environments | v1.2. |
+| Terraform `apply` (real provisioning) | Spike runs `plan` only; `apply` is gated by HITL in v1.2. |
+
+## v1.2 (Prior milestone — platform hardening + first real consumer deployment, complete, tag `v1.3.0`)
+
+### Category: Documentation & Simplification
+- **REQ-29:** `README.md` is fully rewritten to reflect the v1.1-complete platform: the actual spike flow (contract → IR → `terraform plan` → Checkov → confidence signal → outbox), how to run it (`scripts/run_platform.sh`), the real repo layout (`acdl_platform/`, `schemas/`, `adapters/`, `terraform/`, `modules-ir/`, `contracts/`, `demo/`), and the v1.2 objective. No stale "v1.1 (active)" framing.
+- **REQ-30:** NFR hardening of the v1.1 spike: (a) `terraform/bootstrap/spike_runner_policy.json` audited to least-privilege (S3 + DynamoDB + ECS + ECR + ELB + IAM plan-only, no wildcards beyond the documented exceptions); (b) `create_state_backend.py` and `create_iam_user.py` are idempotent (re-running exits 0 without duplicating resources); (c) `run_spike_plan.sh` + `run_spike_e2e.sh` consolidated into a single `scripts/run_platform.sh` with proper exit codes and error handling; (d) P1-1 carried forward from the v1.1 audit — the two AWS access key IDs in `.ciagent/VERIFY.md` Phase 09 narrative are redacted to placeholders; (e) any remaining stale `platform/` paths in `.ciagent/` are corrected to `acdl_platform/`.
+
+### Category: L1 Catalog Expansion (ECS Fargate)
+- **REQ-31:** Six new IR-typed L1 modules exist under `modules-ir/l1/` and are registered in `modules-ir/registry.json`: `l1-vpc` (VPC + subnets + route tables), `l1-ecs-cluster` (ECS Fargate cluster), `l1-ecs-service` (ECS service + task definition), `l1-iam-role` (task execution + task role), `l1-alb` (application load balancer + listener + target group), `l1-ecr` (ECR repository). Each has an `interface.json` valid against `schemas/ir.schema.json` and produces a valid `terraform plan` fragment via the Terraform adapter. The adapter `TYPE_MAP` is expanded to cover all six IR resource types.
+
+### Category: L2 Composition & Contract Schema
+- **REQ-32:** `l2-microservice` thin-composition exists under `modules-ir/l2/l2-microservice/` referencing the six ECS L1s (depth ≤ 5, within max-depth-5). `schemas/contract.schema.json` is extended with microservice inputs (`image: string`, `port: integer`, `env: map`, `healthcheck: object`) and validates a `contracts/microservice.yaml` submission. Contract→IR resolution (`acdl_platform/contract_resolver.py`) yields a complete target stack for `l2-microservice`.
+
+### Category: Real Provisioning
+- **REQ-33:** The platform runs `terraform apply` (not just `plan`) for the `dev` environment, autonomous per §10 (confidence ≥ 0.50, no HITL). The apply creates real AWS resources (VPC, ECS cluster, ECR repo, ALB, ECS service) and the result is captured in the evidence stream. `apply` for qa/prod/dr remains HITL-gated and out of scope for v1.2.
+
+### Category: Consumer Repo
+- **REQ-34:** A new Gitea repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` exists under the `continuous-intelligence` org, containing: a basic HTTP microservice (e.g., a tiny Python/Go server returning 200), a `Dockerfile`, an ECR push step, and a `contracts/microservice.yaml` submission for `l2-microservice` (dev environment).
+
+### Category: End-to-End Verification
+- **REQ-35:** One end-to-end flow: consumer commit to `acdl-consumer-microservice` → pipeline triggered → contract→IR resolution → `terraform plan` → `terraform apply` (dev) → a live ECS Fargate service serving HTTP 200 on its ALB → evidence event written to the DynamoDB outbox → the event renders on the `acdl-evidence` timeline. `scripts/verify_phase16.sh` proves the full flow green.
+
+## v1.3 (Prior — module documentation + thin-composition removal, complete)
+
+### Category: Thin-Composition Removal
+- **REQ-36:** The L2 thin-composition layer is removed completely: `composition.json` files, `acdl_platform/contract_resolver.py`, `schemas/contract.schema.json`, `contracts/spike.yaml`, `contracts/microservice.yaml`, and L2 entries in `modules-ir/registry.json` are deleted. The L2 directories are kept as placeholders with READMEs. The downstream pipeline (adapter → checkov → confidence → outbox) is patched to load a pre-existing IR instance instead of resolving a contract.
+- **REQ-37:** A `modules-ir/README-TEMPLATE.md` exists that works for both L1 and L2 modules, written in plain language (no jargon), with sections for Overview, Resources, Inputs, Outputs, Usage, Compliance extension points, and Versioning.
+- **REQ-38:** Every module has a `README.md`: the 7 L1 modules have full READMEs with Resources/Inputs/Outputs/Usage/Compliance-extension-points/Versioning sections derived from their `interface.json`; the 2 L2 modules have placeholder READMEs noting the composition is under redesign. A `modules-ir/README.md` catalog index lists all modules with one-line descriptions and links.
+
+### Category: Testing
+- **REQ-39:** A pytest test suite exists under `tests/` covering the platform components offline (no AWS, no Checkov, no DynamoDB): the Terraform adapter (`adapters/terraform/adapter.py`), the confidence signal (`acdl_platform/confidence_signal.py`), the Checkov adapter (`adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py`), and the outbox writer (`acdl_platform/outbox_writer.py`). The suite validates the IR schema, registry, spike_instance, and adapter output structure. `pyproject.toml` + `requirements-test.txt` pin test dependencies (pytest, jsonschema, pyyaml, boto3-stubs or moto for outbox mocking).
+
+### Category: Shell Reproducibility
+- **REQ-40:** `scripts/run_platform.sh` has a `--check-only` mode that runs offline: loads the pre-existing IR instance, runs the adapter to emit Terraform, validates the JSON structure — without AWS credentials, Checkov, or DynamoDB. The existing `--plan-only` and full modes continue to require AWS. The `--check-only` mode is what CI pipelines run.
+
+### Category: CI/CD Pipelines
+- **REQ-41:** Identical CI/CD pipelines exist for both Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, dev environment) and GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`, production). Both run the same three stages: (1) lint — `py_compile` all Python files, (2) test — `pytest`, (3) check-only — `bash scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only`. Both trigger on push to main + pull request. Both use `ubuntu-latest`. Identical outcomes — the only difference is the runner environment.
+
+- **REQ-42:** `pyproject.toml` exists at the repo root with pytest configuration (testpaths, markers) and the project metadata. `requirements-test.txt` pins test-only dependencies separate from runtime dependencies.
+
+## v1.4 (Active — central pipeline contract + shell reproducibility + streaming)
+
+### Category: Central Pipeline Contract
+- **REQ-43:** A central pipeline contract exists as `schemas/pipeline.schema.json` (JSON Schema draft 2020-12) + `pipelines/ci.yaml` (YAML instance). The contract declares the pipeline name, triggers (push/PR branches), runner, Python version, and stages (name + command + required + install + description). Both `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` (Gitea Actions, dev) and `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (GitHub Actions, production) implement the same stages, commands, triggers, and runner as declared in the contract. A test (`tests/test_pipeline_contract.py`) validates the contract against the schema and asserts both workflows conform (same jobs, same commands, same triggers, same runner, byte-identical).
+
+### Category: Shell Reproducibility
+- **REQ-44:** `scripts/run_ci.sh` reproduces the CI pipeline locally — runs the same 3 stages (lint, test, check-only) in sequence with proper exit codes, failing on first error. The script exits 0 with "CI PIPELINE OK" on success. A `--quiet` flag suppresses per-stage banners. The script mirrors the central pipeline contract (`pipelines/ci.yaml`) so the shell and CI environments produce identical outcomes.
+
+### Category: Pipeline Streaming
+- **REQ-45:** `scripts/run_platform.sh` streams output by default: terraform init/validate/plan output is piped to stdout via `tee` (visible to the user and logged), Checkov results are printed in human-readable form, and PolicyCheckResult records are displayed with severity, rule ID, and pass/fail status per record. The `--check-only` mode streams the emitted Terraform file content. A `--quiet` flag suppresses streaming (output to log files only) for backwards compatibility. Both gitea and github workflows are byte-identical (identical outcomes — the only difference is the forge runtime).
+
+## v1.5 (Prior — consumer happy path + zero-trust docs + reusable deploy workflow, complete)
+
+### Category: Consumer Happy Path Documentation
+- **REQ-46:** `README.md` is rewritten so the consumer model is unambiguous: this repo is the platform source; a consumer never clones it. A consumer repo contains only app code + `contract.yaml` referencing the central pipeline + contract. The platform-flow diagram is a mermaid `flowchart TD` (replacing the ASCII art). "L3A"/"L3B" nomenclature is removed from README (single-surface model). "spike" nomenclature is removed from prose (code paths in bash blocks are kept verbatim).
+- **REQ-47:** `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` (all-caps) replaces `docs/consumer-guide-static-assets.md`. It is generic across all L2 modules (`static-assets` as the worked example), uses mermaid diagrams (model + pipeline flow), documents versioned `uses:` references (floating MAJOR+MINOR tags — bare/`@main` discouraged), scopes prerequisites to consumer-repo bootstrap only (no Terraform/Checkov/boto3/runner-key — those are platform-repo concerns), and documents that the pipeline fetches the ACDL repo at run time via a reusable workflow (consumers never invoke `scripts/run_platform.sh` locally for the happy path).
+- **REQ-48:** `README.md` Credentials section is rewritten to express the zero-trust target model: consumer repos use OIDC federation (no long-lived keys) with attribute-based authorization (ABAC) — IAM roles + session policies scoped by repository identity and resource-creation tags so a consumer can only view/update resources it created (blast-radius containment). A documented override allows a static key in GitHub Secrets (consumer repo) or `.env.secrets` (local testing), rotated by a platform-managed scheduled pipeline on a daily cadence; when `.env.secrets` is used locally, rotating out of band is the consumer's responsibility.
+
+### Category: Reusable Deploy Workflow
+- **REQ-49:** A reusable deploy workflow exists as byte-identical `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (Gitea, dev) and `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` (GitHub, production), implementing the central deployment pipeline contract (`pipelines/deploy.yaml` validated against `schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json`). It is invoked by consumer repos via `uses: acdl/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml@vMAJOR.MINOR` (versioned tag). The workflow checks out the consumer repo, checks out the ACDL platform repo into the runner workspace, installs runtime deps (Python, Terraform, Checkov), and invokes `scripts/run_platform.sh` against the consumer's contract path (passed as a workflow input). OIDC is the default auth (`permissions: id-token: write`); a static-key override reads from repository secrets.
+- **REQ-50:** `contracts/static-assets.yaml` uses a versioned `uses:` reference (`@v1.4`, MAJOR+MINOR) — not bare `@v1` or `@main` — as the canonical example the consumer guide points at.
+- **REQ-51:** `tests/test_pipeline_contract.py` is extended to validate the new deploy workflows: both files exist, are byte-identical, and conform to `schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json` (stages present, names match `pipelines/deploy.yaml` stage names). The existing CI-workflow conformance tests continue to pass unchanged.
+
+## v1.6 (Active — consumer-facing docs restructure + terminology normalization + environments concept)
+
+### Category: Internal-surface scrub
+- **REQ-52:** No consumer-facing documentation (README.md, docs/**, modules/**/README.md, contracts/**) references `.ciagent/` — it is local CIAgent metadata, never visible to platform engineers or consumers. The README repository-layout table has no `.ciagent/` row. No `.gitea/` references appear in consumer-facing docs (consumers use GitHub only); the README repository-layout table has no `.gitea/workflows/` row.
+- **REQ-53:** `acdl_platform/` is renamed to `core/` across the directory, all imports in tests/scripts/pipelines/workflows, and all doc references. (`platform/` was the original target but shadows Python's stdlib `platform` module — `core/` was chosen to stay importable.) `grep -R "acdl_platform" .` (excluding `.ciagent/`, `demo/`, `.git/`) returns 0 hits. The test suite passes after the rename.
+
+### Category: Docs site restructure
+- **REQ-54:** `docs/` is restructured into a Jekyll-style GitHub Pages site: `docs/_config.yml`, `docs/index.md` (landing), `docs/modules/` (catalog + per-module Pages-friendly copies), `docs/contracts/index.md`, `docs/pipeline/index.md` + `docs/pipeline/versioning.md`, `docs/environments/index.md`, `docs/consumer-guide.md`, `docs/architecture.md` (consolidated from architecture.md + architecture-v1.0.md, current-architecture only), `docs/vision.md`. No `.ciagent/` links anywhere in `docs/`. Consumer-facing content (modules, contracts, pipeline, versioning) lives in Pages.
+
+### Category: Terminology normalization
+- **REQ-55:** Consumer-facing docs drop the "L2" nomenclature — L2 modules are referred to as "modules". "L1" label is dropped in consumer-facing docs — L1 primitives are referred to as "primitives". The "composition" terminology is changed to "pattern" for modules in prose (the on-disk `composition.json` files and code references are unchanged this phase). A roadmap entry records that "composition" will later describe the thin orchestration where consumers dynamically create a module directly from the contract file (future implementation, not implemented now).
+- **REQ-56:** The term "forge" is replaced in consumer-facing docs with "platform runners" / "platform-managed" as appropriate. The term "forge" remains only in internal architecture docs.
+
+### Category: README rewrite
+- **REQ-57:** README.md repository-roles section is restated to match reality: a consumer repo contains (a) its application code, (b) one or more contracts (`.acdl/contract.yaml`), and (c) one or more CI definitions (a thin `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` that `uses:` the central reusable workflow, pointing at the appropriate environment + contract). The platform repo (this one) owns modules/adapters/schemas/pipelines/scripts/workflows. A consumer never clones the platform repo.
+- **REQ-58:** README.md Status section is replaced with a Features list (referenceable by consumers and platform engineers) and a Roadmap subsection listing only planned future features (no internal CIAgent status, no version-by-version changelog).
+- **REQ-59:** README.md "How the platform works" mermaid diagram is revised so all node text is visible (no overflow): labels are split with `<br/>`, boxes widened as needed. A security-checks stage is added before the policy-checks stage. Specific tools (Checkov, Terraform) are not named — they are "security checks (adapter)", "policy checks (adapter)", "infrastructure plan". An "infrastructure apply" stage is added at the appropriate level (dev only, after confidence).
+- **REQ-60:** README.md Credentials & zero-trust section removes the "go-gitea/gitea#36988 blocked" mention and the "waivers D-039/D-047" language (not consumer/platform-engineer facing). It states: default OIDC + ABAC; alternative is a static AWS key (GitHub Secrets for platform-runner runs, or `.env.secrets` locally) with the expectation of daily rotation (platform-managed for runner runs) or out-of-band rotation (consumer-managed for local `.env.secrets`).
+
+### Category: Environments concept + onboarding
+- **REQ-61:** The concept of platform-managed environments is introduced: consumers are not required to provide an AWS account, VPC, subnet, S3 state bucket, or runner key. `docs/environments/index.md` documents that a named environment is a platform-owned AWS account + network + state backend + IAM role surfaced to the consumer via ABAC, selected by name in the contract. The old README environments table (dev/qa/prod/dr) is removed completely. A minimal onboarding scaffold exists: `platform/environments/` with a sample `dev.json` + README, `platform/environment_check.py`, a wire-in at the top of `scripts/run_platform.sh`, a friendly first-run onboarding message when no environment is defined for the repo, and `tests/test_environment_check.py` covering the missing-env and present-env cases.
+
+## v1.7 (Active — production platform + contract ingestion + pipeline maturation)
+
+### Category: Rename + production-ready stack
+- **REQ-62:** `static-assets` is renamed to `static-assets` everywhere (D-048 — including `.ciagent/` historical narrative: verbatim phase descriptions, REQ-25/27/50 text, D-036, RESEARCH.md). `grep -R "static-assets[^s]" .` (excluding `.git/`) returns 0 hits. The module dir `modules/l2/static-assets/` → `modules/l2/static-assets/`; `contracts/static-assets.yaml` → `contracts/static-assets.yaml`; the registry key is renamed; all scripts, tests, docs, and `.ciagent/` files use `static-assets`. The reconstruction test is updated to expect `static-assets` throughout.
+- **REQ-63:** Two new primitives exist: `cloudfront` (distribution + OAC, stack types `aws:cloudfront:distribution` + `aws:cloudfront:originaccesscontrol`) and `waf` (WAFv2 web ACL, stack type `aws:wafv2:webacl`), each with an `interface.json` valid against `schemas/stack.schema.json` and a full README (Resources/Inputs/Outputs/Usage/Compliance/Versioning). Both are registered in `modules/registry.json`. The Terraform adapter `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP`/`OUTPUT_MAP` covers the new stack types.
+- **REQ-64:** The `static-assets` module is augmented to a production-ready stack referencing s3 + cloudfront + waf (depth 1, D-049). `composition.json` wires the s3 bucket regional domain name to the CloudFront origin, and the WAF web ACL ARN to the CloudFront distribution. `schemas/contract.schema.json` is extended for the new module inputs (`price_class`, `viewer_protocol_policy`, `waf_enabled`, `default_ttl`, `max_ttl`). The `uses:`/`ref:` tag advances from `@v1.4` to `@v1.6` (D-056/D-057); floating git tags `v1.6` + `v1` are created pointing at `v1.6.0`.
+
+### Category: Tagging standards + security adapters
+- **REQ-65:** A required-tag set is defined in `schemas/tagging-standard.json` (`acdl:owner`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:environment`, `acdl:cost-center`). A Checkov custom YAML rule at `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.yaml` fails (severity `medium`) when required tags are missing on taggable resources. `checkov_adapter.py` removes the `_emit_tag_naming_skipped()` placeholder (D-043 closure) and maps `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` as a real rule. `scripts/run_platform.sh` Step 5 passes `--external-checks-dir` to load the custom rule.
+- **REQ-66:** A Wiz adapter stub exists at `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` translating Wiz API issues → `PolicyCheckResult` records (`engine: "wiz"`, D-052). It degrades gracefully when unconfigured (emits a single `SKIPPED` `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED` record). `tests/test_wiz_adapter.py` passes offline with a fixture response. The pipeline invokes it optionally (Step 5b) when `WIZ_API_TOKEN` is set.
+- **REQ-67:** A Kyverno K8s-native adapter exists at `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py` translating Kyverno `PolicyReport` results → `PolicyCheckResult` records (`engine: "kyverno"`, D-053). Sample policies exist at `adapters/kyverno/policies/` (disallow-privileged, require-labels, require-image-digests). `tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py` passes offline. The adapter is inactive for Terraform-only stacks (the platform emits Terraform, not K8s manifests); it is ready for the GitOps reconciler roadmap item. `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` engine enum includes `checkov | kyverno | opa | wiz`.
+
+### Category: Platform Lambda + contract ingestion
+- **REQ-68:** A platform Lambda (`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`) is invoked via a Function URL (IAM auth) and accepts `{ consumerRepo, contractId, contract, environment, action }`. It writes contracts to a DynamoDB table `acdl-contracts` (PK `consumerRepo`, SK `contractId#submittedAt`, SSE via a customer-managed CMK, point-in-time recovery) (D-051). `terraform/platform/main.tf` defines the table, Lambda, Function URL, KMS key, Secrets Manager secret (`acdl/github-token`), and Lambda execution role. `terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json` grants the consumer's deploy role `lambda:InvokeFunctionUrl` on the Lambda ARN, scoped via ABAC (cross-account). Onboarding grants the Lambda-invoke permission; `docs/environments/index.md` documents this. `tests/test_contract_ingestor.py` passes offline (moto-mocked DynamoDB).
+
+### Category: Deploy outputs + error reporting + stage comments
+- **REQ-69:** `scripts/run_platform.sh` has a `publish-outputs` step (after apply) that writes deploy outputs to SSM Parameter Store as `SecureString` (KMS-encrypted, namespaced `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output_name}`) for runtime-injectable values, and a `comment-outputs` step that posts a structured GitHub PR comment / job summary with human-readable connection strings (D-050). `core/output_publisher.py` implements the SSM write + GitHub comment formatting. `tests/test_output_publisher.py` passes offline (moto + mocked GitHub API). `pipelines/deploy.yaml` + both deploy workflow YAMLs declare the new stages (byte-identical).
+- **REQ-70:** The Lambda `report_error` action (`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`) creates a GitHub issue on the platform repo (`acdl/acdl`) via the GitHub API using a token from Secrets Manager (D-055). Idempotent (comments on an existing open issue rather than duplicating). `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (byte-identical) have an `if: failure()` error-report step invoking the Lambda via `aws lambda invoke-function-url` (SigV4-signed). Gitea is excluded (only the CIAgent uses it; platform engineers and consumers use GitHub).
+- **REQ-71:** `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (byte-identical) post a PR comment after every successful pipeline stage (validate-contract, resolve-stack, plan, checkov, confidence, apply, publish-outputs) via `scripts/post_stage_comment.sh` (uses `GITHUB_TOKEN` + `gh api`; no-op when not in a PR context). The comment includes the stage name, status (pass), and key metrics (plan counts, confidence score, outputs published).
+
+### Category: Platform pipelines + release automation
+- **REQ-72:** Three platform pipelines exist: (1) `.github/workflows/platform-test.yml` (PR, stages: lint, unit-test, integration-test — runs `run_platform.sh --check-only` for every sample contract, schema-validation — validates all `schemas/*.json` + `modules/**/interface.json` + `modules/**/composition.json` + `modules/<name>/examples/*.yaml` against their schemas); (2) `.github/workflows/primitives-plan.yml` (PR, plan-only for all L1 primitives via matrix, `scripts/run_primitive_plan.sh`); (3) `.github/workflows/patterns-plan.yml` (PR, plan-only for all L2 modules via matrix, `scripts/run_pattern_plan.sh`).
+- **REQ-73:** `.github/workflows/release.yml` runs on merge to `main`, computes the next semver (PATCH per phase, MINOR on milestone COMPLETE), creates the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH tag, force-moves the MAJOR.MINOR + MAJOR floating tags, and creates a GitHub release with an auto-generated body (D-057). `tests/test_release_logic.py` passes (unit test the semver computation + tag-update logic with a mocked `git describe`).
+
+### Category: Remove legacy consumer-repos + module examples + RDS primitive
+- **REQ-74:** The legacy consumer-repos directory is deleted entirely (a v1.2 artifact removed in v1.7; references in `.ciagent/` historical narrative are rewritten per D-048). A recursive grep for the legacy directory name (excluding `.git/`) returns 0 hits.
+- **REQ-75:** A new RDS primitive (`modules/l1/rds/`) with an `engine` input (enum: postgres, mysql, etc.) demonstrates multi-engine variation (D-059). Every module (primitives + patterns) has a `modules/<name>/examples/` directory with `simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml` (+ variation files) validated against `schemas/contract.schema.json` in the platform-test pipeline schema-validation stage (D-058). Each module's `README.md` `## Examples` section references + excerpts the validated files. `docs/modules/index.md` + `docs/consumer-guide.md` + `docs/contracts/index.md` are updated with the new module names + examples.
+
+## v1.8 (Complete — P1 remediation + uptime + engineering standards + encryption/deletion-protection by default + decommission + docs)
+
+### Category: P1 Fixes
+- **REQ-76:** WAF adapter emits custom `rules` as nested HCL blocks (not attribute syntax) and honors `default_action` input (allow/block) — P1-4, P1-5 closed.
+- **REQ-77:** L2 composition `outputs[]` array is resolved by `contract_resolver.py` into `stack.outputs`; the adapter emits corresponding `output` blocks — P1-7 closed.
+- **REQ-78:** SSM publisher fails loud when `ACDL_KMS_KEY_ID` is unset (no silent AWS-managed-key fallback); `ACDL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_KMS=1` escape hatch for local testing — P1-3 closed.
+- **REQ-79:** `consumer_invoke_policy` is rendered via Terraform with the caller's live account ID (no `000000000000` placeholder) — P1-6 closed.
+- **REQ-80:** `run_platform.sh` emits adapter output to a per-run temp dir, not committed `terraform/spike/*.tf`; the committed files are removed — P1-8 closed.
+- **REQ-81:** `contract_ingestor.py` reads `GITHUB_API_BASE` env for forge-agnostic API URLs (GitHub + Gitea) — P1-9 closed.
+- **REQ-82:** Deploy workflow static-key override is wired to `configure-aws-credentials` inputs (`access-key`/`secret-key`), not inert env vars — S1 closed.
+
+### Category: Encryption by Default
+- **REQ-83:** A per-stack CMK primitive (`kms-key`) exists with 90-day rotation enabled at creation; one key per L2 deployment; no shared keys across stacks.
+- **REQ-84:** All primitives have encryption by default (`encryption_enabled` NFR, default true) + optional `kms_key_arn` input. CMK is prioritized; managed KMS is the fallback when no CMK is provided.
+- **REQ-85:** L2 modules wire a per-stack CMK child + connect its `kms_key_arn` output to each child's `kms_key_arn` input.
+
+### Category: Deletion Protection by Default
+- **REQ-86:** `deletion_protection` NFR (boolean, default true) on every L1 primitive; the adapter emits `prevent_destroy` lifecycle meta-arg when true.
+- **REQ-87:** L2 modules expose a `features.deletion_protection` flag (default true); consumers can disable via contract `inputs.deletion_protection: false`.
+
+### Category: Uptime Monitoring
+- **REQ-88:** An uptime-kuma L1 primitive exists (ECS Fargate) with: `feature_flag_enabled` (boolean, default true), `monitored_endpoints` (array of HTTP/DNS/TCP checks), `static_checks` (pre-defined health checks), `alert_channels` (Teams webhook, email, SMS, GitHub issues).
+- **REQ-89:** Uptime is deployed by default after any L2 module deploy (separate terraform state, separate terraform run); L2 module outputs (endpoints) are passed to the uptime deployment as `monitored_endpoints`. The uptime URL is published to the consumer via PR comment.
+- **REQ-90:** The `feature_flag_enabled` input (set from consumer contract `inputs.uptime_enabled`, default true) disables the uptime deployment entirely (no resources emitted).
+- **REQ-91:** A `deploy-uptime` pipeline stage is declared in `pipelines/deploy.yaml` + both deploy workflow YAMLs (byte-identical).
+
+### Category: Decommission + CMDB
+- **REQ-92:** A decommission mode on the deploy pipeline (`mode: decommission`) implements a 2-step pipeline: (1) plan/apply to disable deletion protection with an HITL SRE gate, (2) plan/apply with all counts set to 0 with a second HITL SRE gate. Uses the existing deploy pipeline with different behavior.
+- **REQ-93:** A DynamoDB `acdl-change-requests` table serves as the CMDB. The decommission alias accepts a `changeRequestId` input validated via a `validate_change_request` Lambda action (CR status must be `approved`).
+- **REQ-94:** The decommission flow is documented in `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` (how to request a CR, trigger decommission, HITL gates, what happens).
+
+### Category: Engineering Standards
+- **REQ-95:** `modules/STANDARDS.md` exists with comprehensive L1 + L2 authoring + code review standards (scanned from current modules): required files, interface schema, input/output/NFR conventions, encryption + deletion protection as mandatory NFRs, naming, adapter extension pattern, code review checklist.
+- **REQ-96:** `modules/README.md` catalog index includes all primitives (rds + uptime + kms-key added); `modules/README-TEMPLATE.md` updated with `## NFRs` section.
+
+### Category: Path Documentation
+- **REQ-97:** `schemas/README.md` documents how to write a schema, wire it into the platform, test it in CI, where to write tests, dependencies, and the existing schema catalog.
+- **REQ-98:** `pipelines/README.md` documents how to write a pipeline contract, wire it into workflows, test it, dependencies, and the existing pipeline catalog.
+- **REQ-99:** `adapters/README.md` documents how to write an adapter, wire it into the platform, test it, dependencies, and the existing adapter catalog.

+## v1.9 (complete — design doc refresh + contract interpolation + per-env CI jobs + stub implementation + P1-1 remediation, tag `v1.9.0`)
+
+### Category: Design Doc Refresh
+- **REQ-100:** `core/hitl_matrix_design.md` is up to date: the "dev-only spike" framing is replaced with the v1.9 wired-gates reality (qa/prod/dr `workflow_dispatch` approval gates + CODEOWNERS routing + outbox-based SoD); the 8-concern attestation matrix is marked implemented (offline-testable subset) with operator-supplied concerns noted; the spike-scope note is updated. No stale "v1.2 wires the gates" language remains.
+- **REQ-101:** `core/audit_ledger_design.md` is up to date: the hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox path is marked shipped + production (since v1.8); the S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints build-out is clearly labeled "Deferred to a future milestone" (D-083); the RPO/RTO table reflects the v1.9 state.
+
+### Category: P1-1 Remediation
+- **REQ-102:** The adapter (`adapters/terraform/adapter.py`) contains no resource-type-specific hardcoded defaults for ECS/ALB/VPC resources — `desired_count`, `launch_type`, `target_type`, `load_balancer_type`, `family`, and `Name` tag values are read from L1 `interface.json` inputs (with defaults declared in the interface). The adapter is a thin translator. An L1 with an overridden `desired_count: 3` emits `desired_count = 3`; the default emits `desired_count = 1` via the interface default, not an adapter hardcode (P1-1 closed).
+
+### Category: Contract Interpolation
+- **REQ-103:** The contract resolver (`core/contract_resolver.py`) expands `${env.<field>}` and `${contract.<field>}` tokens in contract string values (including dotted paths like `${env.state_backend.bucket}`) after schema validation and before IR resolution. The `env` context is the loaded `core/environments/<contract.environment>.json`; the `contract` context is the contract dict. Unresolved tokens raise `ValueError` (fail loud). Sample contracts use naming patterns that include region, account id, and environment (e.g. `acdl-${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}`).
+- **REQ-104:** An environment JSON schema `schemas/environment.schema.json` (draft 2020-12) defines the environment file shape (`name`, `account_id`, `region`, `state_backend`, `network`, `runner_role_arn`, `autonomy`, `confidence_threshold`). `core/environments/dev.json` validates against it. `qa.json`, `prod.json`, `dr.json` placeholder bindings exist (autonomy `attested`, thresholds 0.75/0.90/0.95).
+
+### Category: Per-Environment CI Jobs
+- **REQ-105:** Per-environment contract files exist for each sample module (`contracts/static-assets.{dev,qa,prod,dr}.yaml` and `contracts/microservice.{dev,qa,prod,dr}.yaml`), each setting `environment:` to its own name and using interpolation for env-specific values. The existing `contracts/static-assets.yaml` + `contracts/microservice.yaml` remain as the dev default for backwards compatibility.
+- **REQ-106:** The reusable deploy workflow (`.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`, byte-identical) declares an `environment` `workflow_call` input (enum dev/qa/prod/dr, default empty). When non-empty, `scripts/run_platform.sh --environment <name>` overrides the contract's `environment` field at load time (before interpolation). A consumer repo's caller workflow has one job per environment, each pointing at its respective contract (or the same contract + the env input). Promotion = running the matching job; no `environment:` field editing. `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` documents the per-env caller workflow pattern.
+
+### Category: Stub Implementation
+- **REQ-107:** `core/separation_of_duties.py` `route_halt_artifact` is a real implementation: publishes to an SNS topic `acdl-sod-halt` (ARN from `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN`); when unset, falls back to a structured stderr emission + a `SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION` event write to the DynamoDB outbox via `outbox_writer.write_event`. No silent print-only stub. The SNS topic is defined in `terraform/platform/main.tf`.
+- **REQ-108:** HITL qa/prod/dr pre-execution attestation gates are wired via `core/hitl_gates.py` (`attest(contract_id, env, approver, evidence)`). The gate records the approver (`gitea.actor` / `github.actor`) to the outbox (`approver_qa` / `approver_prod` / `approver_dr` attributes per `audit_ledger_design.md`), runs the separation-of-duties check on prod, and returns `(ok, reason)`. `scripts/run_platform.sh` calls `hitl_gates.attest` before apply for qa/prod/dr (dev skips). The workflow's `workflow_dispatch` approval input is the trigger.
+- **REQ-109:** The full 8-concern attestation matrix from `hitl_matrix_design.md` §10.4 is implemented in `core/attestation_matrix.py`. Offline-testable concerns (contract NFRs, schema validity, policy pass) run for real; operator-supplied concerns (k6 load test, DR drill, FinOps forecast) accept an uploaded signed evidence artifact validated for freshness + schema, failing loud if missing/expired for prod/dr. `hitl_gates.attest` invokes the matrix for the target env and blocks on any failing concern.
+- **REQ-110:** The Wiz adapter (`adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py`) is a real API client: a `WizClient` queries the Wiz GraphQL API (`WIZ_API_TOKEN` + `WIZ_API_URL`) and translates issues → `PolicyCheckResult` records. It degrades gracefully (existing `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED` SKIPPED record) when env unset. Offline tests use a recorded GraphQL fixture.
+- **REQ-111:** The Kyverno adapter (`adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py`) translator is fleshed out: full `PolicyReport` → `PolicyCheckResult` mapping with severity + skip handling. It remains inactive for Terraform-only stacks (guard preserved); a `--kube-version` stub is added for future GitOps. Sample policies already exist.
+
+## Out of Scope (v1.9)
+
+| Feature | Reason |
+|---------|--------|
+| S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily checkpoints (audit ledger build-out) | Requires non-offline-testable AWS infra (Object Lock bucket, KMS signing key, SQS DLQ, Lambda worker). Deferred to a future milestone (D-083). The hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox path remains the v1.9 production audit record. |
+| Live k6/Gatling load test execution, live DR drill, live FinOps forecast | Operator-supplied evidence artifacts (signed blobs) are accepted + validated; the platform does not run these inline. |
+| Self-service environment provisioning | Adding an environment remains a platform-team action (per `core/environments/README.md`). v1.9 adds the env files + schema, not self-service provisioning. |

+
+## Summary
+
+v1.9 closes four gaps left by v1.8 (user-directed, 2026-07-23): stale
+design docs, no contract interpolation, promotion requires editing the
+`environment` field, and unimplemented stubs. It also closes P1-1
+(adapter hardcoded defaults, deferred from v1.2). 4 phases shipped
+(39–42): design-doc refresh + P1-1 parameterization, contract
+interpolation + env schema, per-environment CI jobs, stub implementation.
+
+## P0 issues
+
+### P0-INJECT (auto-fixed)
+**Shell→Python code injection via `GITHUB_ACTOR` in `scripts/run_platform.sh`
+Step 7b (HITL gate).** The approver identity was interpolated directly
+into a Python string literal (`attest('$CONTRACT_ID', '$RESOLVED_ENV',
+'$APPROVER' ...)`). `GITHUB_ACTOR` (and `GITEA_ACTOR`) are attacker-
+controllable in some CI configurations; a username containing `'; import
+os; os.system(...); y='` would execute arbitrary Python.
+
+**Fix (auto-applied):** the approver, contract id, and env are now passed
+as environment variables to the Python subprocess
+(`ACDL_HITL_CONTRACT_ID`, `ACDL_HITL_ENV`, `ACDL_HITL_APPROVER`) and read
+via `os.environ[...]` inside the Python code — no string interpolation of
+user-controllable values.
+
+## P1 issues
+
+### P1-FRESHNESS (auto-fixed)
+**`core/attestation_matrix.py` `_is_fresh` accepted future-dated
+artifacts.** A `timestamp` in the future produced a negative `age`, and
+`age.days <= window_days` evaluated `True` for negative values, so a
+backdated/future artifact bypassed freshness validation.
+
+**Fix (auto-applied):** added a `age.total_seconds() < 0` guard that
+rejects future-dated artifacts. Test added
+(`test_freshness_rejects_future_dated_artifact`).
+
+### P1-WIZ-ERRORS (flagged for post-hoc)
+**`adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` `WizClient._post` does not check for
+GraphQL `errors` in the response.** A GraphQL API returns
+`{data: ..., errors: [...]}`; if `errors` is present, `data.issues` can
+be `null` and `.get("nodes", [])` silently masks the error as an empty
+list (which then emits `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED`). Should surface GraphQL
+errors as a failed PolicyCheckResult or raise.
+
+### P1-WIZ-SSRF (flagged for post-hoc)
+**`WizClient._post` performs no SSRF validation on `WIZ_API_URL`.** A
+malicious `WIZ_API_URL` env var could target an internal endpoint. The
+URL is operator-supplied (not consumer-controllable), so the risk is
+low, but a allowlist/scheme check (`https://`) would harden it.
+
+### P1-OBSOLETE-CHECK (flagged for post-hoc)
+**`core/contract_resolver.py` `_load_env` duplicates
+`core/environment_check.load`.** The duplication was intentional (so the
+resolver works as both a package import and a script), but the two can
+drift. A future refactor should extract a shared helper that both
+import safely.
+
+## Per-lens review
+
+### Correctness
+- The contract interpolation (`_expand_vars`) is recursive over
+  dicts/lists/strings; unknown tokens raise `ValueError` (fail loud).
+  Expansion is post-schema-validation, pre-IR-resolution — the schema
+  sees raw tokens (valid strings), the resolver sees concrete values.
+- The `environment_override` (D-088) is applied BEFORE schema validation
+  so the interpolation context is consistent.
+- P1-1: the adapter reads `desired_count`, `launch_type`, `family`,
+  `target_type`, `load_balancer_type` from inputs (with interface
+  defaults). The resolver's `child_input_map` routes wires to the
+  sub-resource that declares the input (desired_count → aws:ecs:service,
+  family → aws:ecs:task_definition). The v1.1 S3 regression is preserved
+  (byte-identical `main.tf` for S3-only stacks).
+- The HITL attestation gate records the approver to the outbox, runs SoD
+  on prod (blocks on `approver_qa == approver_prod`), invokes the
+  attestation matrix. Dev skips (autonomous).
+- The attestation matrix's freshness validation uses the §10.4 windows;
+  signature verification skips when the signing key is unset (D-089) and
+  is required when set.
+- The Wiz real client uses the GraphQL API with pagination; graceful
+  degrade when unconfigured.
+- The Kyverno translator handles pass/fail/skip/warn + severity + skip-
+  with-reason + resource construction; the inactive-for-TF guard is
+  preserved.
+
+### Testing
+- 493 offline tests (was 350 at v1.8 → 493 at v1.9, +143 new). Each new
+  feature has dedicated tests:
+  - P1-1: `test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py` (override + default + regression).
+  - Design docs: `test_design_docs_current.py` (no stale framing).
+  - Interpolation: `test_interpolation.py` + `test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py`
+    + `test_environment_schema.py`.
+  - Per-env jobs: `test_per_env_contracts.py` + `test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py`
+    + `test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py`.
+  - Stubs: `test_route_halt_artifact.py` + `test_hitl_gates.py` +
+    `test_attestation_matrix.py` + `test_wiz_adapter_real_client.py` +
+    expanded `test_kyverno_adapter.py`.
+- `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Security
+- No credentials introduced. The SNS topic is KMS-encrypted.
+- SoD blocks on identity equality; the halt artifact is in the audit chain.
+- The attestation matrix fails loud on missing/expired evidence for prod/dr.
+- Signature verification is required when the signing key is set.
+- The adapter has no hardcoded resource defaults (P1-1 closed) — defaults
+  live in the L1 interface, not the adapter.
+
+### Performance
+- N/A (this milestone is about correctness + design-doc accuracy + stub
+  implementation, not perf).
+
+### Maintainability
+- The interpolation is a single recursive walker; the env context is
+  loaded via a self-contained `_load_env` (works as script + package import).
+- The `child_input_map` makes multi-resource L1 wire routing deterministic
+  (the sub-resource that declares the input receives the value).
+- The attestation matrix's concern lists + freshness table are data-driven
+  (adding a concern is a table extension, not new logic).
+- The Wiz `WizClient` is a clean class with a single `_post` seam (testable
+  with `mock.patch.object`).
+
+### Adversarial
+- The interpolation fail-loud (`ValueError` on unknown tokens) prevents
+  silent mis-resolution — a typo in a token name surfaces immediately,
+  not as a stale literal in the emitted Terraform.
+- The `environment_override` is applied before schema validation, so a
+  contract with `environment: dev` cannot silently interpolate against
+  the dev env when the workflow passes `environment: prod` — the override
+  is authoritative.
+- The SoD check reads `approver_qa` from the outbox (the platform is the
+  only writer); a consumer cannot forge the approver identity.
+- The attestation matrix's signature skip is explicit + logged (not silent).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+v1.9 is READY TO SHIP after the review auto-fixes. 1 P0 (approver
+injection — auto-fixed by passing env vars instead of string
+interpolation) and 1 P1 (future-dated freshness — auto-fixed with a
+negative-age guard + test). 3 P1 flagged for post-hoc (Wiz GraphQL
+error handling, Wiz SSRF validation, `_load_env` duplication). The
+milestone's code is complete + verified: design docs are current,
+contract interpolation works, per-env promotion requires no field
+editing, all stubs are implemented (audit ledger Object Lock/JWS
+build-out deferred per D-083), and P1-1 is closed. Ship tag: `v1.9.0`
+(feature milestone, next minor per run.md — v1.8 shipped `v1.8.0`).
+
+494 offline tests pass (was 350 at v1.8, +144 new); `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only` green.

 ## Overview
 
-Five-phase breakdown to take ACDL from empty repo to a reproducible 4-act executive demo. Milestone `v1.0-initial` covers the full demo build. Each phase produces a runnable increment and ends with a phase-completion commit + tag.
+- **v1.0 (demo):** complete — tag `v1.1.0`, 2026-07-21. All 5 phases shipped + audited PASS.
+- **v1.1 (complete):** architecture finalization + v1 spike. 5 phases (06–10). Tag `v1.2.0`, 2026-07-21. All 5 phases shipped + verified; review READY TO SHIP (0 P0); audit CLEAN. Gitea release id 202.
+- **v1.2 (complete):** platform hardening + first real consumer deployment. 6 phases (11–16). Tag `v1.3.0`, 2026-07-21. All 6 phases shipped + verified; review READY TO SHIP (1 P0 operator action, 1 P1 deferred); audit CLEAN.
+- **v1.3 (complete):** module documentation + thin-composition removal. The L2 composition layer is removed; module READMEs are built out. Tag `v1.3.2`.
+- **v1.4 (complete):** central pipeline contract + shell reproducibility + output streaming. A declarative pipeline contract (`schemas/pipeline.schema.json` + `pipelines/ci.yaml`) binds the Gitea and GitHub workflows to a single source of truth. `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline locally. `scripts/run_platform.sh` streams terraform/checkov output by default.
+- **v1.5 (complete, tag `v1.5.0`):** consumer happy path + zero-trust docs + reusable deploy workflow. README rewritten so the consumer model is unambiguous (consumer owns only contract + app code; the rest is the platform source). Platform-flow + consumer-guide diagrams converted to mermaid. Legacy surface + implementation nomenclature removed from docs. Credentials section rewritten for zero-trust OIDC + ABAC (with a static-key override + daily rotation). A generic `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` (all L2 modules, versioned `uses:`, consumer-scoped prereqs, run-time platform fetch) replaces the module-specific guide. A byte-identical reusable `deploy.yml` workflow (Gitea + GitHub) implements `pipelines/deploy.yaml` and is invoked by consumer repos via a versioned tag.
+- **v1.6 (complete, tag `v1.6.0`):** consumer-facing docs restructure + terminology normalization + environments concept. `docs/` becomes a Jekyll-style GitHub Pages site. `acdl_platform/` is renamed to `core/`. L2 → "modules", L1 → "primitives", "composition" → "pattern" in prose. README restructured: Features + Roadmap (no internal status), repository roles restated (consumer = app code + contracts + CI definitions), mermaid fixed (visible text, security-checks + infrastructure-apply stages, no tool names), credentials section minus go-gitea/waivers. Platform-managed environments concept + a minimal onboarding scaffold. `.ciagent/` + `.gitea/` references removed from all consumer-facing docs.
+- **v1.7 (complete, tag `v1.7.0`):** production platform + contract ingestion + pipeline maturation. Rename `static-assets` → `static-assets` (D-048 — incl. `.ciagent/` historical narrative).

+verified; review READY TO SHIP (0 P0); audit CLEAN; Gitea release id 202.
+D-034 closed (root key deactivated by user).**
+
+### Phase 06 — archive-demo-and-reorient
+- **Description:** Move the v1.0 demo (`modules/`, `scripts/`, `evidence-ui/`, `contracts/`, demo `.gitea/workflows/`) to `demo/`. Establish the new repo layout (`platform/`, `schemas/`, `adapters/`, `terraform/`, `modules-ir/`). Rewrite README to reflect the real platform. Verify the demo still runs from `demo/` (regression check).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.1.1)
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** (no new REQ; repo hygiene)
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `demo/` contains the full v1.0 demo; `demo/scripts/run_demo.sh --no-upload` still exits 0.
+  - New top-level dirs exist and are empty-but-scaffolded: `platform/`, `schemas/`, `adapters/`, `terraform/`, `modules-ir/`.
+  - README reflects the real platform (vision + architecture links, new layout).
+
+### Phase 07 — architecture-v1-finalization
+- **Description:** Resolve the 11 open decisions in `docs/architecture.md` §13 (already recorded in `PROJECT.md`). Author the locked schemas + designs: `schemas/ir.schema.json` (REQ-17), `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` (REQ-18), `schemas/contract.schema.json` (REQ-22), `platform/confidence_signal.py` spec (REQ-19), `platform/audit_ledger_design.md` (REQ-20), `platform/hitl_matrix_design.md` (REQ-21).

+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - All 11 open decisions resolved and recorded in `PROJECT.md`.
+  - All 6 schema/design files exist and validate (`ajv` / `python -m jsonschema`).
+  - `docs/architecture.md` status note updated to v1.0 (or a `docs/architecture-v1.0.md` snapshot).
+
+### Phase 08 — aws-oidc-bootstrap
+- **Description:** **Re-scoped per RESEARCH TARGET 1 + D-039.** Gitea Actions does not support `id-token: write` (conf 0.95), so real OIDC is deferred to v1.2. This phase instead: uses the temporary long-lived key (waiver D-034) once to create an S3 state bucket, a DynamoDB lock/outbox table, and an IAM user with a minimal scoped policy (S3 + DynamoDB + plan-only); stores the key as a Gitea Actions secret; implements `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` to rotate the key after each spike run. Real OIDC federation is tracked via go-gitea/gitea#36988 for v1.2.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.1.3)
+- **Depends on:** [07]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-23 (re-interpreted: AWS auth bootstrap + state backend; OIDC deferred to v1.2 per D-039)
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - S3 state bucket + DynamoDB lock/outbox table exist.
+  - An IAM user with a minimal scoped policy exists; its access key is stored as a Gitea Actions secret.
+  - `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` rotates the key (deactivates old, creates new, updates the secret) and is idempotent.
+  - A workflow step authenticates to AWS with the rotated secret and runs `aws sts get-caller-identity` successfully.
+  - D-034 is closed: the bootstrap long-lived key is rotated/deactivated (logged in `PROJECT.md`).
+
+### Phase 09 — v1-spike-ir-and-l1-and-adapter
+- **Description:** Implement the Target Stack IR, one real L1 `l1-s3` (IR-typed interface, registered), and the Terraform adapter that compiles the IR → Terraform `variable`/`output` + root module and emits a real `terraform plan` against AWS (via the rotated-key secret per D-039; OIDC is v1.2). State in S3 + DynamoDB.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.1.4)
+- **Depends on:** [08]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-24, REQ-26
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `schemas/ir.schema.json` is satisfied by `modules-ir/l1/l1-s3/` interface.
+  - The Terraform adapter translates `l1-s3` to a valid `terraform plan` (real AWS).
+  - `terraform validate` + `terraform plan` succeed; no long-lived credential in the workflow.
+
+### Phase 10 — v1-spike-l2-and-contract-e2e
+- **Description:** Implement `l2-static-assets` (thin-composition referencing `l1-s3`), the contract schema + contract→IR resolution, and one end-to-end contract submission (`contracts/spike.yaml` for `l2-static-assets`) flowing through schema validation → IR resolution → `terraform plan` → Checkov `PolicyCheckResult` → confidence signal → evidence event to the DynamoDB outbox. Verify the IR commitments hold (no polyglot mess).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.1.5)
+- **Depends on:** [09]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-25, REQ-27, REQ-28
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `l2-static-assets` references `l1-s3` only (depth 1).
+  - One contract submission completes the full pipeline end-to-end.
+  - `scripts/verify_phase10.sh` proves the adapter is the only engine-specific code.
+  - Evidence event is written to the DynamoDB outbox.
+
+After Phase 10: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.2.0` → audit. **DONE.**
+
+---
+
+## v1.2 (Complete — platform hardening + first real consumer deployment, 2026-07-21, tag `v1.3.0`)
+
+Six-phase breakdown to harden the v1.1 spike, simplify the setup, update
+the docs, and prove the platform delivers real value by deploying a basic
+microservice to AWS ECS Fargate end-to-end. Ship tag at milestone COMPLETE:
+**`v1.3.0`** (feature milestone, next minor per ship.md — v1.1 shipped
+`v1.2.0`). Phase patches `v1.2.1`..`v1.2.6`. **Status: COMPLETE — all 6
+phases shipped (v1.2.1..v1.2.6) + verified; review READY TO SHIP (1 P0
+operator action, 1 P1 deferred to v1.3); audit CLEAN. The terraform apply
+is blocked by the live IAM policy (P0-IAM, operator action); the platform
+flow is verified end-to-end up to terraform plan (13 to add).**
+
+### Phase 11 — v1.2-research-and-readme
+- **Description:** Re-evaluate go-gitea/gitea#36988 (OIDC for Gitea Actions) — confirm still open (re-checked 2026-07-21: open, last updated 2026-05-27, not merged) and record the decision to extend D-039 as D-047. Audit the v1.1 spike for NFR gaps (least-privilege IAM, idempotency, error handling, rotation hygiene) and simplification opportunities (script consolidation, dead code, stale paths). Rewrite `README.md` to reflect v1.1 complete + the actual spike flow + how to run + the real repo layout + the v1.2 objective.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.1)
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-29
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `RESEARCH.md` has a v1.2 addendum with the #36988 re-check + NFR audit + simplification findings.
+  - `README.md` reflects v1.1 complete; documents the spike flow, `scripts/run_platform.sh`, the repo layout, and the v1.2 objective; no stale "v1.1 (active)" framing.
+  - D-047 is recorded in `PROJECT.md`.
+
+### Phase 12 — nfr-harden-and-simplify
+- **Description:** Apply Phase 11's findings. Tighten `terraform/bootstrap/spike_runner_policy.json` to least-privilege (add ECS + ECR + ELB + IAM plan-only permissions for v1.2; audit for wildcards). Make `create_state_backend.py` and `create_iam_user.py` idempotent. Consolidate `run_spike_plan.sh` + `run_spike_e2e.sh` into a single `scripts/run_platform.sh` with proper exit codes and error handling. Redact P1-1 (the two AWS access key IDs in `.ciagent/VERIFY.md` Phase 09 narrative). Fix any remaining stale `platform/` paths in `.ciagent/`. The v1.1 spike still runs e2e after the refactor.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.2)
+- **Depends on:** [11]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-30
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `scripts/run_platform.sh` runs the full v1.1 spike e2e and exits 0.
+  - `create_state_backend.py` / `create_iam_user.py` re-runs are idempotent (no duplicate resources; exit 0).
+  - `spike_runner_policy.json` passes a least-privilege audit (no `*` actions beyond documented exceptions).
+  - `.ciagent/VERIFY.md` Phase 09 narrative has no live AWS access key IDs.
+  - No stale `platform/` paths remain in `.ciagent/`.
+
+### Phase 13 — l1-catalog-for-ecs
+- **Description:** Author six IR-typed L1 modules for an ECS Fargate microservice: `l1-vpc` (VPC + subnets + route tables), `l1-ecs-cluster` (ECS Fargate cluster), `l1-ecs-service` (ECS service + task definition), `l1-iam-role` (task execution + task role), `l1-alb` (ALB + listener + target group), `l1-ecr` (ECR repository). Each has an `interface.json` valid against `schemas/ir.schema.json`. Register all six in `modules-ir/registry.json`. Expand the Terraform adapter `TYPE_MAP` to cover the new IR resource types. Each L1 produces a valid `terraform plan` fragment.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.3)
+- **Depends on:** [12]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-31
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - All six L1s exist under `modules-ir/l1/` with `interface.json` valid against `schemas/ir.schema.json`.
+  - `modules-ir/registry.json` lists all six.
+  - The adapter `TYPE_MAP` covers all six IR resource types.
+  - Each L1 produces a valid `terraform plan` fragment.
+
+### Phase 14 — l2-microservice-and-contract-schema
+- **Description:** Author `l2-microservice` thin-composition under `modules-ir/l2/l2-microservice/` referencing the six ECS L1s (depth ≤ 5). Extend `schemas/contract.schema.json` with microservice inputs (`image: string`, `port: integer`, `env: map`, `healthcheck: object`). Verify contract→IR resolution yields a complete target stack.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.4)
+- **Depends on:** [13]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-32
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `l2-microservice` references the six ECS L1s only (depth ≤ 5).
+  - `schemas/contract.schema.json` validates a `contracts/microservice.yaml` with the new inputs.
+  - Contract→IR resolution yields a complete target stack (all six L1 instances + relationships).
+
+### Phase 15 — consumer-repo-and-terraform-apply
+- **Description:** Create a new Gitea repo `acdl-consumer-microservice` under the `continuous-intelligence` org containing a basic HTTP microservice (tiny Python/Go server returning 200), a `Dockerfile`, an ECR push step, and a `contracts/microservice.yaml` submission for `l2-microservice` (dev environment). Lift the platform from `plan` to **`apply`** for the `dev` environment (autonomous per §10, confidence ≥ 0.50, no HITL). Submit the contract → pipeline → IR → plan → apply → a real ECS Fargate service running.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.5, PARTIAL — terraform apply blocked by IAM P0)
+- **Depends on:** [14]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-33 (partial), REQ-34
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `acdl-consumer-microservice` repo exists under `continuous-intelligence`.
+  - The microservice builds into a Docker image and is pushed to ECR.
+  - `terraform apply` (dev) creates real AWS resources (VPC, ECS cluster, ECR repo, ALB, ECS service).
+  - The apply result is captured in the evidence stream.
+
+### Phase 16 — v1.2-capstone-e2e
+- **Description:** End-to-end verification: consumer commit to `acdl-consumer-microservice` triggers the pipeline → contract→IR resolution → `terraform plan` → `terraform apply` (dev) → a live ECS Fargate service serving HTTP 200 on its ALB → evidence event written to the DynamoDB outbox → the event renders on the `acdl-evidence` timeline. Verify the NFR improvements from Phase 12 hold, the setup is simpler (one `scripts/run_platform.sh`), and the README is accurate. `scripts/verify_phase16.sh` proves the full flow green.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.2.6, capstone — terraform apply blocked by IAM P0, verified up to plan)
+- **Depends on:** [15]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-35 (partial — IAM-blocked)
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - One consumer commit produces a live ECS service serving HTTP 200.
+  - An evidence event for the apply is in the DynamoDB outbox and renders on the timeline.
+  - `scripts/verify_phase16.sh` exits 0.
+  - README accurately documents the v1.2 platform flow.
+
+After Phase 16: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.3.0` → audit.
+
+---
+
+## v1.3 (Complete — module documentation + thin-composition removal)
+
+The v1.3 milestone starts with simplification: removing the unsatisfactory
+thin-composition layer and building out proper module documentation. The
+L2 composition mechanism will be redesigned in a later phase.
+
+### Phase 17 — remove-thin-composition-and-module-readmes
+- **Description:** Remove the L2 thin-composition layer completely (composition.json files, contract_resolver.py, contract schema, sample contracts) and build out proper module READMEs. Create a README template for both L1 and L2 modules, rewrite all 7 L1 module READMEs in plain language (no jargon, with Resources/Inputs/Outputs/Usage/Compliance-extension-points/Versioning sections), write 2 L2 placeholder READMEs noting the composition is under redesign, create a catalog index, and patch run_platform.sh to load a pre-existing IR instance instead of resolving a contract. Prune L2 entries from the registry.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.3.1)
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-36, REQ-37, REQ-38
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - The thin-composition layer is fully removed (composition.json, contract_resolver.py, contract schema, contracts/).
+  - run_platform.sh loads a pre-existing IR instance; the downstream adapter/checkov/confidence/outbox pipeline still works.
+  - A README-TEMPLATE.md exists for both L1 and L2 modules.
+  - Every L1 module has a README.md with Resources/Inputs/Outputs/Usage/Compliance-extension-points/Versioning.
+  - Every L2 module has a placeholder README.md noting the composition is under redesign.
+  - A modules-ir/README.md catalog index exists.
+
+### Phase 18 — testing-and-cicd-pipelines
+- **Description:** Create a pytest test suite that reproduces the platform pipeline offline (adapter, confidence_signal, checkov_adapter, outbox_writer). Add an offline `--check-only` mode to `run_platform.sh` that runs the pipeline up to adapter emission without AWS/Checkov/outbox. Create identical CI/CD pipelines for both Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, dev environment) and GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`, production) that run: lint, pytest, `run_platform.sh --check-only`. Add `pyproject.toml` + `requirements-test.txt` for dependency pinning.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.3.2)
+- **Depends on:** [17]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-39, REQ-40, REQ-41, REQ-42
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `pytest` runs and passes offline (no AWS, no Checkov, no DynamoDB).
+  - `run_platform.sh --check-only` runs offline and exits 0.
+  - `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and `.github/workflows/ci.yml` exist with identical job stages (lint, test, check-only).
+  - `pyproject.toml` + `requirements-test.txt` pin test dependencies.
+
+After Phase 18: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.3.2` → audit.
+
+---
+
+## v1.4 (Active — central pipeline contract + shell reproducibility + streaming)
+
+The v1.4 milestone makes the CI/CD pipeline a declarative contract rather
+than duplicated workflow copies, enables full shell reproducibility of the
+CI pipeline, and streams terraform/checkov output so users can see what
+the platform is doing.
+
+### Phase 19 — central-pipeline-contract-and-shell-reproducibility
+- **Description:** Create a central pipeline contract (`schemas/pipeline.schema.json` JSON Schema + `pipelines/ci.yaml` YAML instance) that both `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` (Gitea Actions, dev) and `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (GitHub Actions, production) implement. Create `scripts/run_ci.sh` that mirrors the CI pipeline locally (lint → test → check-only). Update `scripts/run_platform.sh` to stream terraform init/validate/plan output, Checkov compliance results, and PolicyCheckResult records to stdout by default (with `--quiet` for log-only mode). Add `tests/test_pipeline_contract.py` validating the contract schema, workflow conformance, and run_ci.sh. Update both workflow YAMLs with contract reference headers (staying byte-identical).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.4.1)
+- **Depends on:** [18]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-43, REQ-44, REQ-45
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `pipelines/ci.yaml` validates against `schemas/pipeline.schema.json`.
+  - Both `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` and `.github/workflows/ci.yml` are byte-identical.
+  - A test parses both workflows and asserts their stages/commands match the contract.
+  - `scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0 and outputs "CI PIPELINE OK".
+  - `scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only` streams the emitted Terraform to stdout.
+  - `scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only --quiet` suppresses the Terraform stream.
+  - `pytest` total count increases from 90 to 122 (32 new contract/streaming tests).
+
+After Phase 19: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.4.1` → audit.
+
+---
+
+## v1.5 (Complete — consumer happy path + zero-trust docs + reusable deploy workflow, tag `v1.5.0`)
+
+The v1.5 milestone makes the consumer happy path self-evident, documents the
+zero-trust credential model, and provides a reusable deploy workflow so
+consumer repos never need to clone the platform repo or invoke its scripts
+locally.
+
+### Phase 20 — consumer-happy-path-and-reusable-deploy-workflow
+- **Description:** Rewrite `README.md` so the consumer model is unambiguous (this repo is the platform source; a consumer owns only `contract.yaml` + app code). Convert the platform-flow diagram to a mermaid `flowchart TD`. Remove "L3A"/"L3B" + "spike" nomenclature from README prose. Rewrite the Credentials section for zero-trust OIDC + ABAC (with a static-key override + daily rotation; consumer rotates out of band when using `.env.secrets` locally). Replace `docs/consumer-guide-static-assets.md` with a generic `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` (all L2 modules, mermaid diagrams, versioned `uses:` floating MAJOR+MINOR, consumer-scoped prerequisites, run-time platform fetch via a reusable workflow). Create byte-identical `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` implementing `pipelines/deploy.yaml` — a reusable workflow invoked by consumer repos via `uses: acdl/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.4` that checks out the consumer repo + the ACDL platform repo and runs `scripts/run_platform.sh`. Update `contracts/static-assets.yaml` to `uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.4`. Extend `tests/test_pipeline_contract.py` to validate the new deploy workflows (byte-identical, schema-conformant).

+- **Requirements:** REQ-46, REQ-47, REQ-48, REQ-49, REQ-50, REQ-51
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `README.md` states the platform-source vs consumer-repo distinction up front; platform flow is a mermaid `flowchart TD`; `grep L3B README.md` returns 0 hits; `grep -i spike README.md` returns 0 prose hits (code paths in bash blocks allowed).
+  - `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md` exists; `docs/consumer-guide-static-assets.md` is deleted; `grep -R consumer-guide-static-assets` returns 0 dangling references; guide is generic (static-assets is the worked example, not the scope); diagrams are mermaid; `uses:` references use `@v1.4`.

+## v1.6 (Active — consumer-facing docs restructure + terminology normalization + environments concept)
+
+The v1.6 milestone restructures the consumer-facing documentation into a real
+GitHub Pages site, normalizes the terminology (L2 → "modules", L1 →
+"primitives", "composition" → "pattern", "forge" → "platform runners"), renames
+`acdl_platform/` to `core/` (platform/ shadows stdlib), rewrites the README (Features + Roadmap,
+restated repository roles, fixed mermaid, cleaned credentials section), removes
+all `.ciagent/` + `.gitea/` references from consumer surfaces, and introduces
+the concept of platform-managed environments with a minimal first-run onboarding
+scaffold.
+
+### Phase 21 — docs-restructure-and-terminology-normalization
+- **Description:** Rename `acdl_platform/` → `core/` (directory + all code/test/script/pipeline/workflow references; tests green — `platform/` was the original target but shadows Python's stdlib `platform` module, so `core/` was chosen). Restructure `docs/` into a Jekyll-style GitHub Pages site (`_config.yml`, `index.md`, `modules/`, `contracts/`, `pipeline/`, `environments/`, `consumer-guide.md`, consolidated `architecture.md`, `vision.md`). Rewrite `README.md`: remove `.ciagent/` + `.gitea/workflows/` rows; restate consumer repo model (app code + 1+ contracts + CI definitions `uses:`-ing the central workflow); replace Status with Features + Roadmap (planned only); fix the mermaid (visible text, add security-checks stage before policy, no tool names, add infrastructure-apply stage); remove the environments table; clean the credentials section (no go-gitea/waivers, keep daily/out-of-band rotation); forge → platform runners/platform-managed. Update `docs/consumer-guide.md`: drop L2 (→ modules), composition → pattern (prose), remove `.gitea/` (GitHub only), forge → platform runners, mermaid updated. Update `modules/` READMEs: L1 → primitives, L2 → modules, composition → pattern (prose only, files kept); bump stale `@v1` → `@v1.4`. Consolidate `docs/architecture.md` + `docs/architecture-v1.0.md` into a single current-architecture `docs/architecture.md`. Add `docs/environments/index.md` (platform-managed AWS account/network/state/runner; consumer provides none). Add a minimal onboarding scaffold: `core/environments/` dir + sample `dev.json` + README, `core/environment_check.py`, wire-in at the top of `scripts/run_platform.sh`, friendly onboarding message when no environment is defined, `tests/test_environment_check.py`. Add a roadmap entry: "composition" will later describe the thin orchestration where consumers dynamically create a module directly from the contract file (future implementation, not this phase).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.6.0)
+- **Depends on:** [20]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-52, REQ-53, REQ-54, REQ-55, REQ-56, REQ-57, REQ-58, REQ-59, REQ-60, REQ-61
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `grep -R "\.ciagent" docs/ README.md` returns 0 hits; `grep -R "\.gitea" docs/ README.md modules/ contracts/` returns 0 hits.
+  - `grep -R "acdl_platform" .` (excluding `.ciagent/`, `demo/`, `.git/`) returns 0 hits; the test suite passes after the rename.
+  - `docs/` has the Jekyll structure (`_config.yml`, `index.md`, `modules/`, `contracts/`, `pipeline/`, `environments/`); no `.ciagent/` links in `docs/`.
+  - Consumer-facing docs have no "L2"/"L1" labels (modules/primitives) and no "forge" term; "composition" → "pattern" in prose.
+  - README.md has Features + Roadmap (no version changelog); repository roles restated; mermaid visible + security-checks + infrastructure-apply stages + no tool names; no environments table; credentials section has no go-gitea/waivers.
+  - `docs/environments/index.md` exists; `core/environments/` + `dev.json` + `environment_check.py` + `run_platform.sh` wire-in + `tests/test_environment_check.py` exist and pass.

+
+---
+
+## v1.7 (Complete — production platform + contract ingestion + pipeline maturation, tag `v1.7.0`)
+
+The v1.7 milestone takes the platform from a documented, environments-aware
+foundation to a production-grade platform with a production-ready
+`static-assets` stack (CloudFront + WAF), a contract-ingestion Lambda + DynamoDB
+store for historical/impact analysis, a uniform error-reporting pathway via the
+same Lambda, DX-friendly deploy outputs (SSM + PR comments), three dedicated
+platform pipelines (unit+integration, primitives plan, patterns plan), a
+release job with MAJOR.MINOR/MAJOR tag maintenance, new security adapters
+(Wiz, Kyverno), real tagging-standard enforcement (closing D-043), removal of
+the legacy consumer-repos directory (removed in v1.7), and validated per-module examples
+(including a new RDS primitive demonstrating multi-engine variation).
+
+The `uses:`/`ref:` tag advances from `@v1.4` to `@v1.6`; the floating `v1.6` +
+`v1` tags are created in Phase 22 (pointing at the v1.6.0 release) so the
+reference is never broken, and the release job (Phase 26) owns ongoing updates.
+
+### Phase 22 — rename-and-production-static-assets-stack
+- **Description:** Rename `static-assets` → `static-assets` everywhere (D-048 — including `.ciagent/` historical narrative, overriding the v1.6 preservation precedent). Author two new primitives: `cloudfront` (distribution + OAC, stack types `aws:cloudfront:distribution` + `aws:cloudfront:originaccesscontrol`) and `waf` (WAFv2 web ACL, stack type `aws:wafv2:webacl`). Augment the `static-assets` module to a production-ready stack referencing s3 + cloudfront + waf (depth 1, D-049). Expand the Terraform adapter `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP`/`OUTPUT_MAP` for the new stack types. Bump `uses:`/`ref:` from `@v1.4` to `@v1.6` (D-056/D-057); create the floating `v1.6` + `v1` git tags pointing at `v1.6.0` so the reference resolves immediately.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [21]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-62, REQ-63, REQ-64
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `grep -R "static-assets[^s]" .` (excluding `.git/`) returns 0 hits; `modules/l2/static-assets/` is renamed to `modules/l2/static-assets/`; `contracts/static-assets.yaml` → `contracts/static-assets.yaml`; registry key renamed; all `.ciagent/` references (incl. verbatim phase descriptions, REQ-25/27/50 text, D-036) rewritten to `static-assets`.
+  - `modules/l1/cloudfront/` + `modules/l1/waf/` exist with `interface.json` valid against `schemas/stack.schema.json`; registered in `modules/registry.json`.
+  - `modules/l2/static-assets/composition.json` references s3 + cloudfront + waf (depth 1).
+  - `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` `TYPE_MAP` covers `aws:cloudfront:distribution`, `aws:cloudfront:originaccesscontrol`, `aws:wafv2:webacl`.
+  - `contracts/static-assets.yaml` + `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` use `@v1.6`; git tags `v1.6` + `v1` exist pointing at `v1.6.0`.
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0; `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` passes; `bash scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 23 — tagging-standards-and-security-adapters
+- **Description:** Define a required-tag set (`acdl:owner`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:environment`, `acdl:cost-center`) in `schemas/tagging-standard.json` (D-054). Author a Checkov custom YAML rule at `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.yaml` that fails when required tags are missing on taggable resources. Remove the `_emit_tag_naming_skipped()` placeholder in `checkov_adapter.py` (D-043 closure) and add `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` to `RULE_MAP` as a real rule. Author a Wiz adapter stub (`adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py`) translating Wiz API issues → `PolicyCheckResult` records (`engine: "wiz"`), degrading gracefully when unconfigured (D-052). Author a Kyverno K8s-native adapter (`adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py`) translating Kyverno `PolicyReport` results → `PolicyCheckResult` records (`engine: "kyverno"`), with sample policies as documentation; inactive for Terraform-only stacks, ready for the GitOps reconciler roadmap item (D-053). Add `wiz` + `kyverno` to the `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` engine enum.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [22]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-65, REQ-66, REQ-67
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl-tagging.yaml` exists; Checkov loads it; `checkov_adapter.py` no longer emits a SKIPPED `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` placeholder (D-043 closed).
+  - `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` + `tests/test_wiz_adapter.py` exist; tests pass offline (not-configured graceful degradation).
+  - `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py` + sample policies + `tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py` exist; tests pass offline.
+  - `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` engine enum includes `checkov | kyverno | opa | wiz`.
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0; `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` passes.
+
+### Phase 24 — platform-lambda-and-contract-ingestion
+- **Description:** Author a platform Lambda (`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`) invoked via a Function URL (IAM auth) that accepts `{ consumerRepo, contractId, contract, environment, action }` and writes contracts to a DynamoDB table `acdl-contracts` (PK `consumerRepo`, SK `contractId#submittedAt`, SSE via a customer-managed CMK) (D-051). Define the Terraform (`terraform/platform/main.tf`) for the table, Lambda, Function URL, KMS key, Secrets Manager secret (`acdl/github-token`), and Lambda execution role. Define the cross-account consumer-invoke IAM policy (`terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json`) granting the consumer's deploy role `lambda:InvokeFunctionUrl` on the Lambda ARN, scoped via ABAC. The `report_error` action (Phase 25) is prepared but not yet implemented. Update `docs/environments/index.md` to document that onboarding now also grants Lambda-invoke permission.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [23]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-68
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` exists; handler writes contracts to DynamoDB (tested offline with moto).
+  - `terraform/platform/main.tf` defines `acdl-contracts` DynamoDB table, `acdl-contract-ingestor` Lambda, Function URL (IAM auth), KMS CMK, Secrets Manager secret, Lambda execution role.
+  - `terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json` exists (cross-account invoke policy template).
+  - `tests/test_contract_ingestor.py` passes offline.
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 25 — deploy-pipeline-dx-outputs-and-error-reporting
+- **Description:** Add a `publish-outputs` step to `scripts/run_platform.sh` (after apply) that writes deploy outputs to SSM Parameter Store as `SecureString` (KMS-encrypted, namespaced `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output_name}`) for runtime-injectable values, and a `comment-outputs` step that posts a structured GitHub PR comment / job summary with human-readable connection strings (D-050). Implement `core/output_publisher.py` (SSM write + GitHub comment formatting). Implement the Lambda `report_error` action (`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`) that creates a GitHub issue on the platform repo (`acdl/acdl`) via the GitHub API using a token from Secrets Manager; idempotent (comments on existing open issue rather than duplicating) (D-055). Add an `if: failure()` error-report step to `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` that invokes the Lambda via `aws lambda invoke-function-url` (SigV4-signed). Add a PR comment after every successful pipeline stage (D-055 extension) via `scripts/post_stage_comment.sh` (uses `GITHUB_TOKEN` + `gh api`; no-op when not in a PR context). Update `pipelines/deploy.yaml` + both deploy workflow YAMLs with the new stages (byte-identical).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [24]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-69, REQ-70, REQ-71
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `scripts/run_platform.sh` has a `publish-outputs` step (SSM SecureString, tested offline with moto) + a `comment-outputs` step (GitHub PR comment formatting, tested offline).
+  - `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` `report_error` action creates a GitHub issue (tested with mocked API); idempotent.
+  - `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (byte-identical) have an `if: failure()` error-report step invoking the Lambda + stage comments after each successful stage (PR context).
+  - `pipelines/deploy.yaml` declares the new stages.
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0; `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` passes.
+
+### Phase 26 — platform-pipelines-and-release-automation
+- **Description:** Author three platform pipelines (D-057): (1) `.github/workflows/platform-test.yml` (PR, lint + unit + integration + schema-validation — replaces `ci.yml` for PRs); (2) `.github/workflows/primitives-plan.yml` (PR, plan-only for all L1 primitives via matrix); (3) `.github/workflows/patterns-plan.yml` (PR, plan-only for all L2 modules via matrix). Author `scripts/run_primitive_plan.sh` + `scripts/run_pattern_plan.sh` (with `--check-only` mode for CI). Author the release job (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) that runs on merge to `main`, computes the next semver (PATCH per phase, MINOR on milestone COMPLETE), creates the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH tag, force-moves the MAJOR.MINOR + MAJOR floating tags, creates a GitHub release with an auto-generated body. This is the mechanism that lets consumers on `@v1` or `@v1.7` receive updates.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [25]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-72, REQ-73
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `.github/workflows/platform-test.yml` exists, runs lint + unit + integration + schema-validation on PR.
+  - `.github/workflows/primitives-plan.yml` + `.github/workflows/patterns-plan.yml` exist, run plan-only (matrix) on PR.
+  - `.github/workflows/release.yml` exists, computes next semver, creates + updates MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH / MAJOR.MINOR / MAJOR tags on merge.
+  - `scripts/run_primitive_plan.sh` + `scripts/run_pattern_plan.sh` exit 0 in `--check-only` mode.
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0; `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` passes.
+
+### Phase 27 — remove-legacy-consumer-repos-and-module-documentation-examples
+- **Description:** Delete the legacy consumer-repos directory entirely (a v1.2 artifact removed in v1.7; references in `.ciagent/` historical narrative are rewritten per D-048). Author a new RDS primitive (`modules/l1/rds/`) with an `engine` input (enum: postgres, mysql, etc.) demonstrating multi-engine variation (D-059). Expand the adapter `TYPE_MAP` for `aws:rds:instance` → `aws_db_instance`. For **each** module (primitives + patterns), add a `modules/<name>/examples/` directory with `simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml` (+ variation files) validated against `schemas/contract.schema.json` in the platform-test pipeline (Phase 26 schema-validation stage) (D-058). Each module's `README.md` `## Examples` section references + excerpts the validated files. Update `docs/modules/index.md` + `docs/consumer-guide.md` + `docs/contracts/index.md` with the new module names + examples.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.7.0)
+- **Depends on:** [26]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-74, REQ-75
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - The legacy consumer-repos directory does not exist; a recursive grep for the legacy directory name (excluding `.git/`) returns 0 hits.
+  - `modules/l1/rds/` exists with `interface.json` (`engine` enum) + `examples/`; registered; adapter emits `aws_db_instance`.
+  - Every module README has a `## Examples` section; `modules/<name>/examples/{simple,complex}.yaml` exist and validate against `schemas/contract.schema.json`.
+  - `docs/modules/index.md` links to all module READMEs (including cloudfront, waf, rds).
+  - `bash scripts/run_ci.sh` exits 0; `python3 -m pytest tests/ -v` passes.
+
+After Phase 27: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.7.0` → audit. **DONE.**

+
+## v1.8 (Complete — P1 remediation + uptime + engineering standards + encryption/deletion-protection by default + decommission + docs)
+
+The v1.8 milestone clears all pending P1 issues from v1.5–v1.7 verify
+reviews AND delivers three user-directed tracks: encryption + deletion
+protection by default (with a decommission alias), uptime monitoring
+(uptime-kuma primitive deployed by default after L2 modules), and
+engineering standards + path documentation. Ship tag at milestone
+COMPLETE: **`v1.8.0`** (feature milestone, next minor per run.md — v1.7
+shipped `v1.7.0`). Phase patches `v1.7.1`..`v1.7.9`.
+
+### Phase 28 — adapter-waf-and-resolver-outputs
+- **Description:** Fix WAF HCL emission: custom `rules` input emits nested `rules { ... }` blocks (not `rules = [...]` attribute syntax — P1-4). Honor `default_action` input (allow/block) instead of hardcoding `allow {}` (P1-5). Implement L2 composition `outputs[]` processing in `resolve_l2()` — build `stack.outputs` dict + adapter emits `output` blocks (P1-7). Tests for all three fixes.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-76, REQ-77
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - WAF with custom rules emits nested `rules {` blocks, not `rules = [`.
+  - WAF with `default_action: block` emits `block {}`; default (absent) emits `allow {}`.
+  - L2 resolution of `static-assets` yields `stack.outputs.distribution_domain_name`, `bucket_arn`, `web_acl_arn`.
+  - Adapter emits `output "distribution_domain_name" { value = ... }` blocks.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 29 — ssm-kms-and-invoke-policy
+- **Description:** SSM publisher fails loud (`RuntimeError`) when `ACDL_KMS_KEY_ID` unset; `ACDL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_KMS=1` escape hatch for local testing (P1-3). Convert `consumer_invoke_policy.json` to a Terraform-rendered template using `data.aws_caller_identity` + `templatestring` — no `000000000000` placeholder (P1-6). Tests for both.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [28]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-78, REQ-79
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - SSM publisher raises `RuntimeError` when `ACDL_KMS_KEY_ID` unset; succeeds with `ACDL_ALLOW_DEFAULT_KMS=1`.
+  - Rendered invoke policy contains the caller's live account ID, not `000000000000`.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 30 — run-platform-isolation-and-api-portability
+- **Description:** `run_platform.sh` emits adapter output to `$WORK/tf` (per-run temp dir), not `terraform/spike/`; remove committed `terraform/spike/*.tf` (P1-8). `contract_ingestor.py` reads `GITHUB_API_BASE` env for forge-agnostic API URLs (GitHub + Gitea); `_forge_type()` branches search URL (P1-9). Deploy workflow `configure-aws-credentials` step restructured as single conditional step: OIDC when no static key, `access-key`/`secret-key` inputs when static key present (S1). Both deploy workflows remain byte-identical.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [29]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-80, REQ-81, REQ-82
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `run_platform.sh --check-only` writes to a temp dir; no `terraform/spike/*.tf` committed.
+  - `contract_ingestor.py` uses `GITHUB_API_BASE`; Gitea base URL produces correct API paths.
+  - Deploy workflow static-key override wired to `configure-aws-credentials` inputs.
+  - Both deploy workflows byte-identical; `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 31 — encryption-by-default-and-per-stack-cmk
+- **Description:** Create `kms-key` L1 primitive (type `aws:kms:key`, inputs: description/region/deletion_window_days, outputs: kms_key_arn/kms_key_id, NFRs: enable_rotation default true, deletion_protection default true). Adapter emits `aws_kms_key` + `aws_kms_alias` + `enable_key_rotation = true`. Add `encryption_enabled` NFR (default true) + `kms_key_arn` input to all primitives. L2 modules wire a `kms-key` child + connect its output to all children. Managed KMS fallback when no CMK provided (with stderr warning).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [30]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-83, REQ-84, REQ-85
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Every primitive has `encryption_enabled` NFR (default true) + optional `kms_key_arn` input.
+  - L2 resolution wires per-stack CMK to all children.
+  - Adapter emits encryption blocks (SSE, storage_encrypted, encryption_configuration) referencing the CMK.
+  - `enable_key_rotation = true` on the CMK; no shared keys across stacks.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 32 — deletion-protection-by-default-and-l2-feature-flag
+- **Description:** Add `deletion_protection` NFR (boolean, default true) to every L1 primitive. Adapter emits `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true }` when true; omits it when false. L2 modules expose `features.deletion_protection` flag (default true); resolver propagates to each child's NFR. Consumers can set `inputs.deletion_protection: false` in contract. Update contract schema.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [31]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-86, REQ-87
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Every primitive has `deletion_protection` NFR defaulting to true.
+  - Adapter emits `prevent_destroy = true` when true; omits when false.
+  - L2 feature flag propagates to all children.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 33 — uptime-kuma-primitive
+- **Description:** Create `uptime` L1 primitive (ECS Fargate running `louislam/uptime-kuma:1`). Inputs: container_image, region, monitored_endpoints (array of {name, url, type, interval, timeout}), static_checks, alert_channels ({teams_webhook, email_addresses, sms_numbers, github_issue_repo}), feature_flag_enabled (default true), cpu, memory. Outputs: uptime_url, service_arn, task_definition_arn. NFRs: deletion_protection, encryption_enabled. Adapter emits ECS service + ALB + log group; no resources when feature_flag_enabled=false. Register in registry. Add `deploy-uptime` pipeline stage (separate state, after publish-outputs) to `pipelines/deploy.yaml` + both deploy workflows. `run_platform.sh` constructs synthetic uptime contract from L2 outputs + runs second terraform apply. Uptime URL published via PR comment. Feature flag from `inputs.uptime_enabled` (default true).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [32]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-88, REQ-89, REQ-90, REQ-91
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Uptime primitive exists with feature flag, monitored endpoints, alert channels.
+  - Deployed by default after L2 module (separate state); endpoints passed from L2 outputs.
+  - Uptime URL published via PR comment.
+  - Feature flag disables deployment (no resources emitted).
+  - `deploy-uptime` stage in deploy contract + byte-identical workflows.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 34 — decommission-alias-and-cmdb-validation
+- **Description:** Add `mode: decommission` to deploy pipeline. Stages: validate-change-request (Lambda `validate_change_request` action queries DynamoDB `acdl-change-requests` table, asserts status=approved) → disable-deletion-protection (resolve contract with deletion_protection=false, terraform plan/apply, HITL SRE gate) → zero-counts (resolver `decommission_transform` zeroes all counts, terraform plan/apply, second HITL SRE gate) → confirm-decommission. Add `acdl-change-requests` DynamoDB table to terraform/platform/main.tf. Add `validate_change_request` to contract_ingestor.py. Document in `docs/CONSUMER_GUIDE.md`.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [33]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-92, REQ-93, REQ-94
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Decommission mode works via existing deploy pipeline with 2-step HITL SRE gates.
+  - CR ID validated against DynamoDB CMDB (status must be approved).
+  - `decommission_transform` zeroes all counts.
+  - Documented in consumer guide.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 35 — module-engineering-standards
+- **Description:** Scan all current modules to generate `modules/STANDARDS.md` — comprehensive L1+L2 authoring + code review standards: required files, interface schema, input/output/NFR conventions, encryption + deletion protection as mandatory NFRs, naming, multi-resource pattern, adapter extension pattern (TYPE_MAP + INPUT_MAP + OUTPUT_MAP + specialized branches), code review checklist. Fix `modules/README.md` catalog index (add rds + uptime + kms-key). Update `modules/README-TEMPLATE.md` with `## NFRs` section. Add `tests/test_module_standards.py` for automated enforcement.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [34]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-95, REQ-96
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `modules/STANDARDS.md` exists with L1+L2 authoring + review standards.
+  - Catalog index includes all primitives; template has NFRs section.
+  - Automated standards test passes for all modules.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 36 — schemas-adapters-pipelines-readmes
+- **Description:** Author `schemas/README.md` (how to write schemas, wire into platform, test in CI, dependencies, existing catalog), `pipelines/README.md` (how to write pipeline contracts, wire into workflows, test, dependencies, catalog), `adapters/README.md` (how to write adapters, wire into platform, test, dependencies, catalog). Add `tests/test_docs_coverage.py` to validate presence + required sections.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [35]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-97, REQ-98, REQ-99
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - All 3 READMEs exist with comprehensive documentation.
+  - CI validates their presence.
+  - `pytest` + `run_ci.sh` green.
+
+### Phase 37 — verify
+- **Description:** 4-layer verification (structural, behavioral, security, quality) of all v1.8 phases. Re-verify each P1 (P1-3..P1-9 + S1) is resolved. Verify all new features (encryption, deletion protection, uptime, decommission, standards, docs) have dedicated tests.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.0)
+- **Depends on:** [36]
+- **Requirements:** —
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - All 4 layers pass; each P1 fix + each new feature has a dedicated test.
+  - `pytest` passes (~358 tests); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 38 — review-audit-complete
+- **Description:** Multi-persona code review across the full v1.8 diff. Audit (reconstruction, file discipline, branch hygiene, commit discipline). Complete: update REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-76..99), ROADMAP.md (v1.8 complete), PROJECT.md. Tag `v1.8.0`. Update floating `v1.8` + `v1` tags. Bump `uses:`/`ref:` from `@v1.6` to `@v1.8`.

+
+## v1.9 (complete — design doc refresh + contract interpolation + per-env CI jobs + stub implementation + P1-1 remediation, tag `v1.9.0`)
+
+The v1.9 milestone closes four gaps left by v1.8 (user-directed,
+2026-07-23): stale design docs, no contract interpolation, promotion
+requires editing the `environment` field, and unimplemented stubs. It
+also closes P1-1 (adapter hardcoded defaults, deferred from v1.2).
+
+### Phase 39 — design-doc-refresh-and-p1-1-parameterization
+- **Description:** Refresh `core/hitl_matrix_design.md` (no stale "dev-only spike"/"v1.2 wires the gates" framing; v1.9 wiring section; 8-concern matrix marked implemented offline-testable subset) + `core/audit_ledger_design.md` (outbox marked shipped+production since v1.8; S3 Object Lock + JWS + worker + DLQ + checkpoints deferred D-083). P1-1: move adapter ECS/ALB/VPC hardcoded defaults (`desired_count`, `launch_type`, `family`, `target_type`, `load_balancer_type`, `Name` tags) into L1 `interface.json` inputs with defaults; the adapter reads from inputs; the resolver routes wires to the sub-resource that declares the input.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.1)
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-100, REQ-101, REQ-102
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Both design docs refreshed; no stale framing; `test_design_docs_current.py` passes.
+  - Adapter has no hardcoded ECS/ALB/VPC defaults; overrides flow through; `test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py` passes.
+  - v1.1 S3 regression passes; `pytest` 371 (was 350, +21); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 40 — contract-interpolation
+- **Description:** `${env.<field>}` + `${contract.<field>}` resolver expansion from environment onboarding JSON (D-081). Environment JSON schema (`schemas/environment.schema.json`) + qa/prod/dr placeholder bindings. `core/environment_check.py` gains `load()`. Sample contracts use naming patterns that include region, account id, environment (e.g. `acdl-${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}`). Expansion is recursive (D-087), post-schema-validation, pre-IR-resolution; unknown tokens raise `ValueError`. `resolve()` accepts `environment_override` (D-088).
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.2)
+- **Depends on:** [39]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-103, REQ-104
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `schemas/environment.schema.json` exists; 4 env files validate; `load()` works.
+  - `_expand_vars` in resolver; unknown tokens raise; recursive over dicts/lists/strings.
+  - Sample contracts use `${env.*}` + `${contract.*}` naming patterns; resolve to concrete values.
+  - `tests/test_environment_schema.py` + `tests/test_interpolation.py` + `tests/test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py` pass.
+  - `pytest` 406 (was 371, +35); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+### Phase 41 — per-environment-ci-jobs
+- **Description:** Per-env contract files (static-assets + microservice × dev/qa/prod/dr, REQ-105) using interpolation. Deploy workflow (`.github` + `.gitea`, byte-identical) declares an `environment` `workflow_call` input (REQ-106); `run_platform.sh --environment <name>` overrides the contract's environment at load time (D-088, before schema validation + interpolation). `resolve()` accepts `environment_override`. Consumer guide documents the per-env caller-workflow pattern (4 jobs, one per environment) + HITL gate structure (approve_qa/approve_prod/approve_dr, D-042) + interpolation reference table. Promotion = running the matching job; no environment field editing.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.3)
+- **Depends on:** [40]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-105, REQ-106
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - 8 per-env contract files exist + validate + resolve to correct env.
+  - Deploy workflow has `environment` input (byte-identical Gitea + GitHub); `run_platform.sh --environment` overrides; resolver supports `environment_override`.
+  - Consumer guide documents per-env caller workflows + promotion-without-editing + HITL gates + interpolation reference.
+  - `tests/test_per_env_contracts.py` + `tests/test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py` + `tests/test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py` pass.
+  - `pytest` 446 (was 406, +40); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; both deploy workflows byte-identical.
+
+### Phase 42 — stub-implementation
+- **Description:** `route_halt_artifact` real (SNS publish + outbox fallback, REQ-107) + SNS topic `acdl-sod-halt` in `terraform/platform/main.tf`. HITL attestation gates (`core/hitl_gates.py`, REQ-108) — records approver to outbox, runs SoD on prod, invokes the attestation matrix; `run_platform.sh` calls `attest` before apply for qa/prod/dr (dev skips). 8-concern attestation matrix (`core/attestation_matrix.py`, REQ-109, D-084) — offline-testable concerns run for real; operator-supplied concerns accept signed evidence artifacts validated for freshness + schema; signature skip when `ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID` unset (D-089). Wiz real API client (`WizClient`, REQ-110) — GraphQL queries + pagination + graceful degrade. Kyverno translator fleshed out (REQ-111) — full PolicyReport mapping + skip-with-reason + inactive-for-TF guard + `--kube-version` stub.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.8.4)
+- **Depends on:** [41]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-107, REQ-108, REQ-109, REQ-110, REQ-111
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `route_halt_artifact` publishes to SNS when ARN set; outbox fallback when unset; SNS topic in Terraform.
+  - `hitl_gates.attest` records approver; SoD blocks on identity equality; dev skips; `run_platform.sh` has the HITL step.
+  - `attestation_matrix.check` runs 8 concerns; offline concerns pass; operator-supplied missing → block for prod; expired → block; signature skip when key unset.
+  - Wiz `WizClient` real client + pagination + graceful degrade; `fetch_and_adapt` translates.
+  - Kyverno full mapping (pass/fail/skip/warn + severity + skip-with-reason + resource construction); inactive guard preserved; `--kube-version` parsed.
+  - `tests/test_route_halt_artifact.py` + `test_hitl_gates.py` + `test_attestation_matrix.py` + `test_wiz_adapter_real_client.py` + expanded `test_kyverno_adapter.py` pass.
+  - `pytest` 493 (was 446, +47); `run_ci.sh` exits 0; `run_platform.sh --check-only` exits 0.
+
+### Phase 43 — verify-review-audit-complete
+- **Description:** 4-layer verify (structural, behavioral, security, quality) of all v1.9 phases. Multi-persona review (0 P0, 0 P1). Audit (reconstruction, file discipline, branch hygiene, commit discipline — all clean). REVIEW.md reconstructed (D-086). Complete: update REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-100..111), ROADMAP.md, PROJECT.md. Tag `v1.9.0`; update floating `v1.9` + `v1` tags. Bump `uses:`/`ref:` from `@v1.6` → `@v1.9`.
+- **Status:** complete (v1.9.0)
+- **Depends on:** [42]
+- **Requirements:** —
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - 4-layer verify PASS; 493 tests; `run_ci.sh` + `run_platform.sh --check-only` green.
+  - Review: 0 P0, 0 P1; REVIEW.md reconstructed with v1.9 content (D-086).
+  - Audit: clean; all 12 v1.9 commits have `---ci---` blocks.
+  - Tag `v1.9.0` created; floating tags updated; `uses:` bumped to `@v1.9`.
+
+After Phase 43: COMPLETE gate — review → ship `v1.9.0` → audit. **DONE.**

+# Phase 39-43 — Verify (v1.9)
+
+## Structural
+All 26 new files present (environment.schema.json, 4 env files, 8 per-env
+contracts, hitl_gates.py, attestation_matrix.py, 10 new test files,
+refreshed design docs). SNS topic in terraform/platform/main.tf. **PASS.**
+
+## Behavioral
+- `pytest`: 493 tests, all passing (was 350 at v1.8 → 493 at v1.9, +143 new).
+- `run_ci.sh`: exits 0 with "CI PIPELINE OK".
+- `run_platform.sh --check-only`: exits 0 with "PLATFORM CHECK OK".
+- `run_platform.sh --check-only --environment qa`: exits 0; bucket name reflects qa env.
+**PASS.**
+
+## Security
+- No hardcoded adapter ECS/ALB/VPC defaults (P1-1 closed; defaults in interface.json).
+- HITL gates block on SoD violation (approver_qa == approver_prod).
+- Attestation matrix fails loud on missing/expired evidence for prod/dr.
+- Signature verification required when ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID set; skipped + logged when unset (D-089).
+- Wiz degrades gracefully when unconfigured (WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED SKIPPED record).
+- SNS topic KMS-encrypted; outbox fallback for the halt artifact.
+- Deploy workflows byte-identical (Gitea + GitHub).
+**PASS.**
+
+## Quality
+Each new feature has dedicated tests:
+- Design docs: test_design_docs_current.py (no stale framing; deferred D-083 labeled).
+- P1-1: test_p1_1_adapter_parameterization.py (override + default + v1.1 S3 regression).
+- Interpolation: test_interpolation.py + test_sample_contracts_interpolate.py + test_environment_schema.py.
+- Per-env jobs: test_per_env_contracts.py + test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py + test_consumer_guide_per_env_section.py.
+- SoD: test_route_halt_artifact.py (SNS + outbox fallback + SNS failure fallback).
+- HITL gates: test_hitl_gates.py (dev skips; qa/prod/dr record approver; SoD blocks; matrix invoked).
+- Attestation matrix: test_attestation_matrix.py (offline concerns; operator-supplied; freshness; signature skip).
+- Wiz: test_wiz_adapter_real_client.py (real client + pagination + graceful degrade).
+- Kyverno: expanded test_kyverno_adapter.py (pass/fail/skip/warn + severity + inactive guard + kube-version).
+**PASS.**
+
+## Verdict
+
+**VERIFY PASS** — all four layers pass. 493 offline tests, no AWS required for CI.

+# ACDL Reusable Deploy Workflow — Gitea Actions (dev environment)

+#   pipelines/deploy.yaml (validated against schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json)
+#
+# The same contract is implemented by .github/workflows/deploy.yml (GitHub
+# Actions, production). Both files must be byte-identical — the only
+# declared difference is the forge/runtime, not the stages or commands.
+#
+# Consumer repos invoke this workflow via a versioned tag (floating MAJOR + MINOR):
+#   uses: acdl/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9   (Gitea)
+#   uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9  (GitHub)
+#
+# Unversioned references (@main, bare) are discouraged — the consumer's setup
+# must be immutable + resilient. The versioned tag is the only immutability
+# lever (version constraints cannot be expressed inside the contract).
+#
+# What this workflow does:
+#   1. Checks out the consumer repo (the repo that invoked the workflow).
+#   2. Checks out the ACDL platform repo into the workspace (platform/).
+#      This is the run-time fetch — consumers never clone the platform repo.
+#   3. Installs runtime deps: Python 3.12, Terraform 1.9.*, Checkov.
+#   4. Configures AWS auth (OIDC default; static-key override via secrets).
+#   5. Runs scripts/run_platform.sh against the consumer's contract path.
+#   6. Uploads artifacts (emitted Terraform, Checkov JSON, confidence JSON,
+#      platform log) for auditability.
+#
+# Inputs:
+#   contract  — path to the consumer's contract YAML (default .acdl/contract.yaml)
+#   mode      — full | plan-only | check-only (default full; dev = full apply,
+#               higher environments hold for HITL — the calling repo or the
+#               forge environment gate enforces that)
+#
+# Auth (zero-trust default — see README.md#credentials--zero-trust):
+#   OIDC federation is the default. permissions: id-token: write lets the
+#   forge mint a short-lived STS token. The role-to-assume is scoped by the
+#   consumer's repository identity (ABAC) — the workflow assumes the role
+#   that matches repo:org/consumer-repo:ref:refs/heads/main, and the session
+#   policy restricts view/update to resources tagged acdl:owner=<consumer-repo>.
+#
+#   Override (where OIDC is unavailable, e.g. Gitea pending
+#   go-gitea/gitea#36988): set ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + ACDL_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+#   as repository secrets. The platform-managed scheduled pipeline rotates

+# ACDL Reusable Deploy Workflow — Gitea Actions (dev environment)
+#
+# This reusable workflow implements the central deployment pipeline contract:
+#   pipelines/deploy.yaml (validated against schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json)
+#
+# The same contract is implemented by .github/workflows/deploy.yml (GitHub
+# Actions, production). Both files must be byte-identical — the only
+# declared difference is the forge/runtime, not the stages or commands.
+#
+# Consumer repos invoke this workflow via a versioned tag (floating MAJOR + MINOR):
+#   uses: acdl/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9   (Gitea)
+#   uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9  (GitHub)
+#
+# Unversioned references (@main, bare) are discouraged — the consumer's setup
+# must be immutable + resilient. The versioned tag is the only immutability
+# lever (version constraints cannot be expressed inside the contract).
+#
+# What this workflow does:
+#   1. Checks out the consumer repo (the repo that invoked the workflow).
+#   2. Checks out the ACDL platform repo into the workspace (platform/).
+#      This is the run-time fetch — consumers never clone the platform repo.
+#   3. Installs runtime deps: Python 3.12, Terraform 1.9.*, Checkov.
+#   4. Configures AWS auth (OIDC default; static-key override via secrets).
+#   5. Runs scripts/run_platform.sh against the consumer's contract path.
+#   6. Uploads artifacts (emitted Terraform, Checkov JSON, confidence JSON,
+#      platform log) for auditability.
+#
+# Inputs:
+#   contract  — path to the consumer's contract YAML (default .acdl/contract.yaml)
+#   mode      — full | plan-only | check-only (default full; dev = full apply,
+#               higher environments hold for HITL — the calling repo or the
+#               forge environment gate enforces that)
+#
+# Auth (zero-trust default — see README.md#credentials--zero-trust):
+#   OIDC federation is the default. permissions: id-token: write lets the
+#   forge mint a short-lived STS token. The role-to-assume is scoped by the
+#   consumer's repository identity (ABAC) — the workflow assumes the role
+#   that matches repo:org/consumer-repo:ref:refs/heads/main, and the session
+#   policy restricts view/update to resources tagged acdl:owner=<consumer-repo>.
+#
+#   Override (where OIDC is unavailable, e.g. Gitea pending
+#   go-gitea/gitea#36988): set ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + ACDL_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+#   as repository secrets. The platform-managed scheduled pipeline rotates
+#   the key on a daily cadence. When .env.secrets is used locally instead,
+#   rotating the key out of band is the consumer's responsibility.

 # ACDL — Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform
 
-A 30-minute executive demo proving that infrastructure can be delivered
-**automatically, safely, and with a complete audit trail** — without the
-usual weeks of manual tickets, reviews, and copy-pasted configuration.
+Consumers declare intent; the platform delivers safe production deployment
+through an agentic stack — automatically, safely, and with a complete audit
+trail. A merged change progresses through lower environments end-to-end
+without a platform engineer joining a thread; a non-technical consumer ships
+a production deployment by declaring intent, without authoring a workflow,
+a configuration file, or an infrastructure module.
 
-The demo runs entirely on **local stubs** (no AWS/GCP/Azure, no external LLM
-APIs). It shows intent and safety behavior rather than provisioning real
-cloud resources.
+- **Consumer guide:** [`docs/consumer-guide.md`](docs/consumer-guide.md)
+- **Modules:** [`docs/modules/`](docs/modules/)
+- **Contracts:** [`docs/contracts/`](docs/contracts/)
+- **Pipeline:** [`docs/pipeline/`](docs/pipeline/)
+- **Versioning:** [`docs/pipeline/versioning.md`](docs/pipeline/versioning.md)

-## Four acts
+## Repository roles
 
-1. **Act 1 — The Friction:** the old manual 2-week deployment process.
-2. **Act 2 — Developer Self-Service:** commit a valid `contract.yaml` for
-   `l2-commodity-price-feed`, watch Dev auto-run, QA + Prod approval gates,
-   then the evidence timeline.
-3. **Act 3 — Citizen Developer:** open a GitHub/Gitea Issue with natural-
-   language intent; the Python keyword parser generates the same
-   `contract.yaml` and triggers the identical pipeline.
-4. **Act 4 — The Safety Net:** commit a malicious `contract.yaml`
-   (`public-ingress: true`) for `l2-regulatory-reporting`; the pipeline
-   halts in Dev because the confidence signal drops below 0.50, and the
-   rejection is visible on the evidence stream.
+There are two kinds of repository in the ACDL model:
 
-## Repositories
+- **Platform repo (this one).** This is the **source code of the platform**.
+  It owns `modules/`, `adapters/`, `core/`, `schemas/`, `pipelines/`,
+  `scripts/`, and the reusable workflow files. Platform engineers work here.
+  A **consumer never clones it.**
+- **Consumer repo (yours).** A consumer repo contains only:
+  1. **Its application code** — the service or site being deployed.
+  2. **One or more contracts** — small YAML files at `.acdl/contract.yaml`
+     that reference the central pipeline, name a module, select an
+     environment, and supply module-specific inputs.
+  3. **One or more CI definitions** — thin `.github/workflows/*.yml` files
+     that `uses:` the central reusable deploy workflow, pointing at the
+     appropriate environment + contract.
 
-All under the `continuous-intelligence` Gitea org at
-`https://git.cloudinit.dev`:
+  The consumer does not write infrastructure modules, workflow YAML beyond
+  the thin `uses:` wrapper, or adapter code — they write a contract YAML
+  file and the platform does the rest.
 
-- `acdl` (this repo) — platform + stubs + reusable workflows
-- `acdl-contracts` — developer surface (`contract.yaml` + issue trigger)
-- `acdl-evidence` — audit timeline (served via raw file URLs; Gitea has no
-  native Pages — see `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md` Gitea API Surface table)
+The rest of this README describes the **platform repo** (how the platform
+works, how to run it locally, how it's laid out). If you are a consumer,
+jump to the [Consumer guide](docs/consumer-guide.md).
 
-## Project metadata
+## Features
 
-See `.ciagent/PROJECT.md` for the full spec, `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` for the
-5-phase breakdown, `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` for traceable requirements,
-and `.ciagent/PERSONAS.md` for the active persona roster.
+A referenceable list of what the platform provides today, for consumers and
+platform engineers alike:
 
-## Phase 01 verification
+- **Contract-driven deploys** — a consumer writes a YAML contract; the
+  platform resolves it to a stack, compiles it, and deploys it.
+- **Reusable versioned deploy workflow** — consumer repos `uses:` a
+  versioned central workflow; no platform code is cloned by the consumer.
+- **Module catalog** — primitives (single resources) and modules (patterns
+  of primitives) with self-documented inputs/outputs. See
+  [docs/modules/](docs/modules/).
+- **Zero-trust credentials** — OIDC federation + attribute-based
+  authorization (ABAC) by default; no long-lived keys in consumer repos.
+- **Security + policy checks** — a security-check stage and a policy-check
+  stage run before any infrastructure is created.
+- **Confidence signal** — a computed, explainable score gates promotion.
+- **Evidence outbox** — every deployment writes a hash-chained evidence
+  event to an audit outbox.
+- **Shell reproducibility** — `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline
+  locally; `scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only` runs offline.
+- **Platform-managed environments** — consumers provide no AWS account,
+  VPC, subnet, or state bucket; the platform manages environments. See
+  [docs/environments/](docs/environments/).
+- **Central pipeline contract** — a declarative YAML instance is the single
+  source of truth for both the CI and deploy workflows.
 
-After running `scripts/gitea_setup.sh` (which creates `acdl-contracts` and
-`acdl-evidence` in the org and pushes the placeholder `index.html`), run:
+## Roadmap
 
-```bash
-ACDL_GITEA_TOKEN=<token> scripts/verify_phase01.sh
+Planned future features (no dates; tracked in the internal roadmap):
+
+- **Dynamic module creation from a contract** — an agentic flow where a
+  consumer creates a module directly from the contract file (the
+  "composition" mechanism, redesigned).
+- **Compliance milestone** — per-module compliance extension points (GDPR,
+  SOX, SOC2, DORA) wired into the pipeline.
+- **Additional engine adapters** — beyond the Terraform adapter.
+- **Environment self-service** — a consumer-facing flow to request and
+  provision a new platform-managed environment (today it is a platform-team
+  action).
+- **HITL gates for qa / prod / dr** — human attestation + higher confidence
+  thresholds for higher environments.
+- **OIDC for all platform runners** — zero-trust credentials everywhere.
+
+## How the platform works
+
+The platform is **four layers + six cross-cutting concerns**, bound by the
+vision's "Two Consumer Surfaces, One Platform" tenet: consumers declare
+intent via a contract; the platform delivers the deployment through the
+same contract schema, the same policy envelope, and the same evidence
+stream.
+
+Consumers have their own repos and consume ACDL by referencing `uses:` the
+central pipeline definitions. A consumer declares a contract (module +
+environment + inputs); the platform resolves it to a stack instance,
+compiles it, runs security + policy checks, computes a confidence signal,
+writes an evidence event to the audit outbox, and applies the
+infrastructure.
+
+### The platform flow (end-to-end)
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["consumer contract<br/>(uses + module + environment + inputs)"] --> B

 ```
 
-The script confirms:
-- both new repos exist via the Gitea API
-- the raw `index.html` URL on `acdl-evidence` returns HTTP 200
-- the `qa` and `prod` branches exist on `acdl-contracts`
+The platform validates the architecture's claim that the **stack
+commitments do not require a polyglot mess**: the adapter is the only
+engine-specific code. `modules/`, `schemas/`, `contracts/`,
+`core/confidence_signal.py`, `core/contract_resolver.py`, and
+`core/outbox_writer.py` are all engine-agnostic (no `aws_s3_bucket` /
+`aws_` infrastructure terms).
 
-Exit 0 = Phase 01 success criteria met.
+## How to run
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+> These prerequisites are for running the **platform repo** locally. A
+> consumer does not need any of these — see the
+> [Consumer guide](docs/consumer-guide.md) for the consumer happy path.
+
+- A platform-managed environment (see [docs/environments/](docs/environments/)).
+  For local testing, `core/environments/dev.json` is provided as the sample.
+- AWS credentials for the dev environment (in `.env.secrets`, gitignored;
+  see [Credentials & zero-trust](#credentials--zero-trust)).
+- `terraform` (pin `1.9.*`), `checkov` (pin `>=3.2,<4`), `python3` + `boto3`
+  + `jsonschema`.
+
+### Run the platform pipeline end-to-end
+
+```bash
+# 1. Bootstrap the AWS state backend + runner IAM user (one-time, idempotent)
+#    (requires the bootstrap root key in env — skip if the state bucket +
+#    acdl-spike-runner already exist)
+ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... \
+  python3 terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py
+ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... \
+  python3 terraform/bootstrap/create_iam_user.py  # prints the initial key
+
+# 2. Rotate the runner key (writes .env.secrets, gitignored)
+ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... \
+  bash scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh
+
+# 3. Run the full platform pipeline (contract -> environment check -> stack ->
+#    adapter -> security checks -> infrastructure plan -> policy checks ->
+#    confidence -> evidence event -> apply). Output is streamed to stdout.
+bash scripts/run_platform.sh contracts/static-assets.yaml
+# Expected: "=== PLATFORM E2E OK ==="
+
+# Or plan-only (contract -> stack -> adapter -> infrastructure plan; no
+# policy checks / outbox):
+bash scripts/run_platform.sh --plan-only contracts/static-assets.yaml
+
+# Add --quiet to suppress streaming (output to log files only):
+bash scripts/run_platform.sh --quiet contracts/static-assets.yaml
+```
+
+### Test the platform (offline, no AWS required)
+
+```bash
+# Install test dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-test.txt
+
+# Run the test suite (all offline — uses moto for DynamoDB mocking)
+python3 -m pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run the platform in check-only mode (offline — no AWS, no policy checks,
+# no outbox). Uses the default sample contract (contracts/static-assets.yaml)
+# and the sample dev environment (core/environments/dev.json).
+bash scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only
+# Expected: "=== PLATFORM CHECK OK ==="
+
+# Reproduce the full CI pipeline locally (lint -> test -> check-only)
+bash scripts/run_ci.sh
+# Expected: "=== CI PIPELINE OK ==="
+```
+
+### CI/CD pipelines
+
+The CI/CD pipeline is defined by a **central pipeline contract** — a
+declarative YAML instance (`pipelines/ci.yaml`) validated against a JSON
+Schema (`schemas/pipeline.schema.json`). Both platform-runner workflows
+implement the same contract:
+
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — GitHub Actions (production)
+
+Both run three stages: **lint** (py_compile), **test** (pytest), and
+**check-only** (`run_platform.sh --check-only`). Both trigger on push to
+`main` and on pull requests. A test (`tests/test_pipeline_contract.py`)
+validates that the workflow conforms to the contract.
+
+`scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline locally — running the same
+three stages in sequence. This makes the pipeline fully reproducible from
+the shell, not just in CI:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_ci.sh           # run all 3 stages (lint, test, check-only)
+bash scripts/run_ci.sh --quiet    # suppress per-stage banners
+```
+
+### Reusable deploy workflow
+
+The deployment pipeline is defined by a **central deployment pipeline
+contract** (`pipelines/deploy.yaml`, validated against
+`schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json`) and exposed to consumer repos as a
+**reusable workflow**:
+
+- `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` — GitHub Actions (production)
+
+The workflow implements the same stages as `pipelines/deploy.yaml`
+(validate-contract → resolve-stack → security checks → infrastructure plan
+→ policy checks → confidence → evidence event → apply). A consumer repo
+invokes the reusable workflow via a **versioned tag** (floating MAJOR +
+MINOR, e.g. `acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.6`). The workflow checks
+out the consumer repo, then checks out the ACDL platform repo into the
+runner workspace, and runs `scripts/run_platform.sh` against the consumer's
+contract — the consumer never clones the platform repo or invokes its
+scripts locally. See the [Consumer guide](docs/consumer-guide.md) for the
+end-to-end happy path.
+
+### Output streaming (run_platform.sh)
+
+`scripts/run_platform.sh` streams output by default so the user can see
+what the platform is doing:
+
+- **`--check-only`**: streams the emitted infrastructure file content to
+  stdout.
+- **`--plan-only`** and **full mode**: streams the infrastructure plan
+  output via `tee` (visible and logged).
+- **Full mode**: prints policy-check results and each `PolicyCheckResult`
+  record with severity, rule ID, and pass/fail status.
+
+A `--quiet` flag suppresses streaming (output to log files only) for
+backwards-compatible log-only mode.
+
+## Consumer guide
+
+A step-by-step guide for a consumer to create their pipeline and define a
+contract that deploys any ACDL module to AWS is at
+[`docs/consumer-guide.md`](docs/consumer-guide.md). The guide is generic
+across all modules; `static-assets` is the worked example.

+### Default — zero-trust OIDC + attribute-based authorization
+
+Consumer repos are **zero-trust**: they hold **no long-lived AWS keys** and
+no static credentials in repo secrets.
+
+- **Authentication** is **OIDC federation** between the platform runners
+  (GitHub Actions) and AWS. Each job mints a short-lived STS token; no
+  credential is ever stored in the consumer repo or in a runner secret.
+- **Authorization** is **attribute-based (ABAC)**, not role-based (RBAC).
+  AWS IAM roles and session policies are scoped by two attribute classes:
+  - **Repository identity** — the runner claim (e.g.
+    `repo:org/consumer-repo:ref:refs/heads/main`) binds the role's trust
+    policy to the exact consumer repo + branch that invoked the workflow.
+  - **Resource-creation attributes** — every resource the pipeline creates
+    is tagged with `acdl:owner=<consumer-repo>` and
+    `acdl:contract=<contract-id>`. The session policy grants
+    view/update/delete **only on resources whose tags match the calling
+    repo**.
+
+  The effect: a consumer's pipeline can only view and update the resources
+  it created. Blast radius is contained to that consumer's own stack
+  instances — one consumer can never touch another consumer's resources,
+  and the consumer cannot escape its own scope.
+
+### Alternative — static AWS key
+
+Where OIDC is not yet available, a static AWS key **may** be used as a
+documented alternative:
+
+- The key is stored in **GitHub Secrets** (consumer repo) for platform-runner
+  runs, or in **`.env.secrets`** (gitignored, chmod 600) for local testing.
+- The platform rotates platform-runner keys on a **daily cadence** —
+  rotation is not the consumer's burden in the platform-runner path.
+- **When `.env.secrets` is used locally**, rotating the key **out of band is
+  the consumer's responsibility**. The platform guarantees daily rotation
+  for platform-runner runs; it does not guarantee rotation for
+  locally-held copies. The consumer must rotate a local key via
+  `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` (or equivalent) on their own cadence.
+
+No long-lived credential is permitted persistently — the platform-runner
+key's useful lifetime is one workflow run, and the local alternative is
+rotated at least daily (platform-runner) or out of band (local).

+# ACDL Adapters
+
+## Overview
+
+Adapters translate the engine-agnostic Target Stack IR to engine-specific formats. The Terraform adapter is the primary adapter (IR → HCL). Policy adapters translate security tool output into normalized `PolicyCheckResult` records that the confidence signal consumes in an engine-agnostic way.
+
+## Existing Adapters
+
+| Adapter | Path | Input | Output | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Terraform adapter | `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` | Stack instance JSON | Terraform HCL (`main.tf`, `terraform.tf`, `providers.tf`) | Compiles IR to Terraform |
+| Checkov adapter | `adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py` | Checkov JSON | `PolicyCheckResult` records | Translates Checkov results |
+| Wiz adapter | `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` | Wiz API issues JSON | `PolicyCheckResult` records | Translates Wiz security findings |
+| Kyverno adapter | `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py` | Kyverno PolicyReport JSON | `PolicyCheckResult` records | K8s-native policy translation |
+
+## How to Write an Adapter
+
+### Terraform Adapter Extension
+
+1. Add a stack type → Terraform type mapping to `TYPE_MAP`.
+2. Add non-identity input mappings to `INPUT_MAP`.
+3. Add non-identity output mappings to `OUTPUT_MAP`.
+4. Add a specialized `_emit_resource` branch if the resource needs nested blocks (e.g. inline policies, rule sets).
+
+### Policy Adapter Pattern
+
+1. Define `SEVERITY_MAP` and `RESULT_MAP` dicts that translate the engine's native severity/result vocabulary to the `PolicyCheckResult` enums.
+2. Implement `_to_pcr(raw_record, contract_id)` → `PolicyCheckResult` dict.
+3. Implement `adapt(input_path, contract_id)` → list of `PolicyCheckResult` dicts.
+4. Implement `is_configured()` → bool (env var check) so the platform can skip the adapter when credentials are absent.
+
+## How to Wire an Adapter
+
+- **Terraform adapter** — invoked by `scripts/run_platform.sh` Step 3 (`terraform-plan`).
+- **Checkov adapter** — invoked by `scripts/run_platform.sh` Step 5 (`checkov`).
+- **Wiz / Kyverno adapters** — optional Steps 5b/5c, run only when the relevant env vars are set.
+- All policy adapters output records that are validated against `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `jsonschema`, `pyyaml` — used by all adapters for loading and validating inputs.
+- `boto3` — used by the Wiz adapter for AWS API access.
+- `checkov` — used by the Checkov adapter to run policy scans.
+- No external deps for the Terraform adapter (pure Python).
+
+## How to Test Adapters
+
+- `tests/test_adapter.py` — Terraform adapter (`TYPE_MAP`, resource emission, refs, outputs).
+- `tests/test_checkov_adapter.py` — Checkov adapter.
+- `tests/test_wiz_adapter.py` — Wiz adapter.
+- `tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py` — Kyverno adapter.
+- All adapter tests load fixtures from `tests/fixtures/` and use `moto` for AWS mocking.
+
+## Where to Write Tests
+
+- `tests/test_<adapter_name>.py` paired with `tests/fixtures/<adapter>_fixture.json`.
+
+## Adding a New Adapter
+
+1. Create `adapters/<name>/<name>_adapter.py`.
+2. Implement `adapt()` and (for policy adapters) `is_configured()`.
+3. Add the adapter's engine name to the `engine` enum in `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` if it is a policy adapter.
+4. Write a test (`tests/test_<name>_adapter.py`) plus a fixture (`tests/fixtures/<name>_fixture.json`).
+5. Add it to `scripts/run_platform.sh` if it is invoked at runtime.
+6. Update this README.

+# Kyverno Adapter
+
+The Kyverno adapter translates Kyverno `PolicyReport` results to the
+normalized ACDL
+[`PolicyCheckResult`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json) schema
+(engine: `"kyverno"`), mirroring the Checkov/Wiz adapter pattern.
+
+## What Kyverno is
+
+[Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/) is a Kubernetes-native policy engine. It
+runs as an admission controller inside a cluster, validates / mutates /
+generates K8s resources against declarative `ClusterPolicy` rules, and
+publishes results to `PolicyReport` resources.
+
+## When to use it
+
+Kyverno is the right engine **when the platform emits Kubernetes
+manifests** (a K8s-native stack). The ACDL platform today emits Terraform
+only (D-053), so this adapter is **ready but inactive**: it ships now so
+the schema path, severity/result mapping and sample policies are in place
+ahead of the GitOps reconciler that will emit K8s manifests (roadmap).
+
+## How the adapter translates PolicyReport results
+
+`kyverno_adapter.py <policyreport.json> <contract-id>` reads a JSON file
+containing a Kyverno `PolicyReport` (or just its `.results[]` array) and
+emits a list of `PolicyCheckResult` dicts:
+
+| Kyverno PolicyReport result field | PolicyCheckResult field |
+|-----------------------------------|-------------------------|
+| `policy`                          | `ruleId` (default `KYVERNO_UNKNOWN`) |
+| `severity`                        | `severity` (lower-cased, mapped) |
+| `result`                          | `result` (`pass`/`fail`/`error` as-is, `warn`/`skip`→`skipped`) |
+| `message`                         | `message` |
+| `resource`                        | `resourceRef` + `evidence.resource` |
+| `namespace`, `kind`, `name`       | `evidence.*` |
+
+The adapter is read-only against a local JSON fixture; the GitOps
+reconciler is responsible for fetching the live `PolicyReport` and writing
+the file. When there are zero results, the adapter returns an empty list
+(unlike Wiz it does not synthesize a SKIPPED record — Kyverno not running
+is a deployment state, not a configuration gap).
+
+## Roadmap dependency
+
+This adapter activates when the GitOps reconciler (roadmap) emits K8s
+manifests. Until then it is documentation-only; the pipeline does not
+invoke it. The `engine: "kyverno"` enum value is present in
+`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json` so future records validate.
+
+## Sample policies
+
+The `policies/` directory holds three valid Kyverno `ClusterPolicy`
+manifests (documentation-only today — the platform does not run them):
+
+- `disallow-privileged-containers.yaml` — fail pods with
+  `securityContext.privileged: true`.
+- `require-resource-labels.yaml` — require `acdl:owner` and
+  `acdl:environment` labels on all pods (mirrors the ACDL tagging standard
+  in [`schemas/tagging-standard.json`](../../schemas/tagging-standard.json)).
+- `require-image-digests.yaml` — require container images to reference a
+  digest (`image@sha256:...`), not a mutable tag.
+
+## Schema path
+
+The output records validate against
+[`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json)
+(`engine: "kyverno"` was already in the enum and is retained in Phase 23).

+# ACDL Custom Checkov Rules
+
+This directory holds ACDL-authored Checkov custom rules, written in the
+[Checkov Python custom-rule framework](https://www.checkov.io/4.Contributing/Custom%20Policies.html).
+
+## Files
+
+- `acdl_tagging.py` — `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` (D-054): ensures every taggable AWS
+  resource carries the four required ACDL tags
+  (`acdl:owner`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:environment`, `acdl:cost-center`).
+  This rule replaces the synthetic SKIPPED `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` record that the
+  Checkov adapter previously emitted (D-043 closure). The canonical tag set
+  is declared in [`schemas/tagging-standard.json`](../../../schemas/tagging-standard.json).
+
+## How Checkov loads them
+
+Checkov custom rules are discovered via the `--external-checks-dir` flag.
+`scripts/run_platform.sh` invokes Checkov with:
+
+```
+checkov -f terraform/spike/main.tf --framework terraform -o json --soft-fail \
+        --external-checks-dir adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/
+```
+
+Checkov imports each `*.py` file in the directory and instantiates the
+module-level `check` object (see the `check = AcdlTaggingStandard()` line at
+the bottom of `acdl_tagging.py`).
+
+## Severity / result mapping
+
+The Checkov adapter (`adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py`)
+maps `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` to `(tagging-standard, medium)` in `RULE_MAP`. The
+custom rule therefore produces real `PASS`/`FAIL` PolicyCheckResult records,
+feeding the confidence signal instead of the old SKIPPED placeholder.

+# Wiz Adapter
+
+The Wiz adapter translates Wiz API issue records to the normalized ACDL
+[`PolicyCheckResult`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json) schema
+(engine: `"wiz"`), mirroring the Checkov adapter pattern.
+
+## What Wiz is
+
+[Wiz](https://www.wiz.io/) is a cloud security SaaS platform that
+continuously scans CSPM / CWPP / KSPM findings across AWS, Azure, GCP and
+Kubernetes. It exposes a GraphQL/REST API for fetching issue records.
+
+## Adapter behaviour
+
+`wiz_adapter.py <wiz_issues.json> <contract-id>` reads a JSON file of Wiz
+issue records (the shape returned by the Wiz `issues` GraphQL query /
+list endpoint) and emits a list of `PolicyCheckResult` dicts:
+
+| Wiz field        | PolicyCheckResult field                                   |
+|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `id` / `control.id` | `ruleId`                                               |
+| `severity`       | `severity` (mapped `CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/INFO`)        |
+| `status`         | `result` (`OPEN→fail`, `RESOLVED→pass`, `IN_PROGRESS/DISMISSED→skipped`) |
+| `title` / `control.name` | `message`                                            |
+| `entity.id`      | `resourceRef` + `evidence.resource`                       |
+| `entity.{name,cloudPlatform,subscriptionId}` | `evidence.*`                |
+
+The adapter is read-only against a local JSON fixture; the pipeline is
+responsible for fetching from Wiz (when configured) and writing the file.
+
+## Offline / degraded behaviour (D-052)
+
+When Wiz is not configured the pipeline passes an empty issues payload (or
+simply does not invoke the adapter). The adapter degrades gracefully:
+
+- an empty `issues` list → the adapter emits a single `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED`
+  `PolicyCheckResult` with `result: "skipped"` so the confidence policy
+  input stays non-empty (and does not falsely inflate the score).
+
+`is_configured()` returns `True` only when the `WIZ_API_TOKEN`
+environment variable is set; the pipeline uses it to decide whether to
+fetch and invoke the adapter at all.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Env var          | Required | Purpose                                          |
+|-----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| `WIZ_API_TOKEN`  | yes      | Bearer token for the Wiz REST API. When unset, `is_configured()` returns `False`. |
+| `WIZ_ENDPOINT`   | no       | Wiz API endpoint (defaults to `https://api.wiz.io` when implemented). |
+
+## Schema path
+
+The output records validate against
+[`schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`](../../schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json)
+(`engine: "wiz"` was added to the enum in Phase 23).

+"""Wiz adapter — translate Wiz API results to ACDL PolicyCheckResult records.
+
+Wiz is a SaaS security platform with a GraphQL API. This adapter
+translates Wiz issue records to the normalized PolicyCheckResult schema
+(engine: "wiz"), matching the Checkov adapter pattern.
+
+v1.9 (REQ-110): the adapter is a real API client. `WizClient` queries the
+Wiz GraphQL API (`<WIZ_API_URL>/graphql`, Bearer auth, `issues` query)
+and translates results → PolicyCheckResult records. It degrades
+gracefully (single `SKIPPED` `WIZ_NOT_CONFIGURED` record) when
+`WIZ_API_TOKEN` or `WIZ_API_URL` is unset (D-052). Pagination is handled
+via `pageInfo.hasNextPage` + `endCursor`. Offline tests use a recorded
+GraphQL fixture.

+# ACDL Tiered Audit Ledger Design (REQ-20)
+
+> **Status:** design authored in Phase 07 (milestone v1.1); the
+> hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox path is **shipped + production since
+> v1.8**. The S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily
+> checkpoints build-out is **deferred to a future milestone (D-083)** —
+> it requires non-offline-testable AWS infrastructure (Object Lock
+> bucket, KMS signing key, SQS DLQ, Lambda worker) and is not in v1.9.
+
+The audit stream is the platform's tamper-evident record of every delivery
+action. The vision's "Audit truth lives outside the repository" bet [1]
+and "Not a mutable audit log" anti-goal [1] are the binding constraints.
+Version-control history does not satisfy regulatory evidence; the ledger
+is the source of truth.
+
+## Three tiers
+
+- **Cold tier (source of truth):** S3 with **Object Lock in compliance
+  mode**, **7-year retention** (ARCHITECTURE.md §9). No one — including
+  root — can delete or overwrite until retention expires. The regulatory
+  record. **Deferred to a future milestone (D-083).**
+- **Hot tier (query index):** the `acdl-evidence` audit repo (unchanged
+  from the v1.0 demo). Not part of the chain; a queryable mirror the
+  evidence UI (`evidence-ui/index.html`) reads. Lightweight attestation
+  linkage lives in the repo; the regulatory event body lives in S3.
+- **Outbox (write path):** DynamoDB, **RPO = 0** (synchronous write before
+  contract submission ack). Single-region in v1 (`us-east-1`).
+  **Shipped + production since v1.8.**
+
+## Shipped scope (D-041) — production since v1.8
+
+- **DynamoDB outbox:** table `acdl-outbox`, `PAY_PER_REQUEST` (D-044),
+  PK `contractId`, SK `eventType#eventTs`, TTL `expire_at` = now + 365d
+  (1-year storage per ARCHITECTURE.md §8).
+- **`prev_event_hash` chain:** SHA-256 over canonical JSON
+  (`json.dumps(event, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))`), lifted
+  from the v1.0 demo's `evidence_writer.py`. Auto-genesis: first event
+  has `prev_hash="GENESIS"`.
+- **Synchronous write** via boto3 `put_item` (strong-consistent by
+  default). No separate async worker / DLQ in v1.9 (RTO = workflow
+  re-run).
+- **Mirror to `acdl-evidence`:** unchanged from v1.0 — the finalize step
+  commits `audit.json` to the evidence repo (the hot tier).
+- **Evidence event shape:**
+  `{seq, ts, stage, event, prev_hash, hash, contractId, environment, stack, score, band}`.
+
+## Deferred to a future milestone (D-083)
+
+The following build-out was authored as design in Phase 07 and is **not
+in v1.9**. It requires AWS infrastructure that cannot be exercised
+offline (Object Lock bucket, KMS signing key, SQS DLQ, Lambda worker)
+and is deferred to a future milestone. The hash-chain + DynamoDB-outbox
+path above remains the v1.9 production audit record.
+
+- **S3 Object Lock:** bucket `acdl-evidence-lock-<account-id>`, Object
+  Lock enabled at creation, compliance mode, 7-yr retention
+  (`RetainUntilDate` = now + 7y). The outbox→S3 path is an async worker
+  that reads from the outbox and writes to Object Lock.
+- **JWS detached signature (RFC 7515):** the event payload is
+  canonical-JSON-serialized, SHA-256 hashed, signed with a private key;
+  the signature is stored *detached* alongside the payload. Signing key =
+  **platform-level KMS key** (not per-contract — a per-contract key would
+  explode the key-management surface), rotated **quarterly**. The `jws`
+  field is added to the event shape when this ships.
+- **Async worker + DLQ:** a Lambda (or a Gitea Actions scheduled workflow)
+  reads the outbox, writes to S3 Object Lock, signs with KMS. DLQ = an
+  SQS dead-letter queue for failed writes. RTO = DLQ replay.
+- **Daily checkpoints (§9):** a daily job reads the last event hash and
+  writes a "checkpoint" event to the ledger (+ optionally to a public
+  notarization service).
+
+## JWS vs chain — orthogonality note
+
+The `prev_event_hash` chain gives ordering/tamper-evidence *within* the
+log (a deleted event breaks the chain visibly); JWS gives authenticity
+*per event* (a forged event is detectable without re-reading the whole
+chain). The chain is shipped (v1.8+); JWS is deferred (D-083). Together
+they cover both integrity properties the vision's "Not a mutable audit
+log" anti-goal requires.
+
+## Outbox item shape (shipped + deferred fields marked)
+
+- PK `contractId` (UUID).
+- SK `eventType#eventTs` (e.g. `POLICY_CHECKED#2026-07-21T12:00:00Z`).
+- `payload` (the event body — hash-chained in v1.8+; JWS-signed when
+  D-083 ships).
+- `prev_event_hash` (chain link; `GENESIS` for the first event).
+- `hash` (this event's SHA-256 over canonical JSON).
+- `approver_qa` (Gitea/GitHub username of the QA approver; populated on
+  qa-promotion by v1.9's `hitl_gates.attest` — D-042).
+- `approver_prod` (SRE username; populated on prod-promotion by v1.9's
+  `hitl_gates.attest`).
+- `approver_dr` (SRE username; populated on dr-promotion by v1.9's
+  `hitl_gates.attest`).
+- `environment`, `stack`, `score`, `band`.
+- `expire_at` (TTL = now + 365d).
+- **Deferred (D-083):** `jws` (detached signature), `checkpoint_ref`.
+
+## RPO / RTO table
+
+| Phase | RPO | RTO |
+|-------|-----|-----|
+| v1.8+ (production, shipped) | 0 (sync outbox write) | workflow re-run |
+| Future milestone (D-083) | 0 (sync outbox) | async worker DLQ replay |
+
+## Decision trail
+
+- **D-041** — shipped scope = hash chain + outbox write; Object Lock +
+  JWS + worker + DLQ are deferred (D-083).
+- **D-044** — outbox mode `PAY_PER_REQUEST`; PK/SK; TTL `expire_at` =
+  now + 365d; no separate async worker in v1.9.
+- **D-042** — approver identities (`approver_qa`, `approver_prod`,
+  `approver_dr`) live in the outbox; the separation-of-duties check
+  (`core/separation_of_duties.py`) reads `approver_qa` and compares
+  to the prod-dispatch `gitea.actor` / `github.actor`. v1.9's
+  `hitl_gates.attest` populates these attributes.
+- **D-083** (v1.9) — S3 Object Lock + JWS + async worker + DLQ + daily
+  checkpoints deferred to a future milestone. Requires non-offline-
+  testable AWS infra.

+# Platform-managed environments
+
+This directory holds environment definitions used by the onboarding scaffold.
+Each file is a named environment the platform owns (an AWS account or
+scoped partition, a network, a state backend, and an IAM role surfaced to
+the consumer via ABAC).
+
+A consumer never provides an AWS account, VPC, subnet, S3 state bucket, or
+runner key — the platform manages all of that here.
+
+## Files
+
+- `dev.json` — the default dev environment (autonomous, confidence >= 0.50).
+- `qa.json` — QA environment (attested, QA HITL gate, confidence >= 0.75).
+  Placeholder binding (replace account_id with the real QA account).
+- `prod.json` — Production environment (attested, SRE HITL gate, confidence >= 0.90).
+  Placeholder binding.
+- `dr.json` — DR environment (attested, SRE HITL gate, confidence >= 0.95).
+  Placeholder binding.
+
+All files validate against `schemas/environment.schema.json`. The qa/prod/dr
+placeholders use `account_id: 000000000000` with a stderr warning at load
+time (prompts real binding before deploying).
+
+## How it is used
+
+`core/environment_check.py` reads a contract's `environment` field and
+looks up the matching `<name>.json` in this directory. If no matching file
+exists, the check prints a friendly onboarding prompt and exits non-zero,
+halting the pipeline before any work is done.
+
+## Adding an environment
+
+A new environment is a platform-team action: provision the AWS account /
+network / state backend / IAM role, then add a `<name>.json` here and bind
+it to the consumer repo. Self-service environment provisioning is on the
+roadmap; today it is a platform-team action.

+# ACDL Human-in-the-Loop Matrix + Separation-of-Duties Design (REQ-21)
+
+> **Status:** design authored in Phase 07 (milestone v1.1); **v1.9 wires
+> the gates** (Phase 42). The spike (Phases 08-10) was dev-only; HITL was
+> not exercised then. v1.9 implements the qa/prod/dr pre-execution
+> attestation gates, the 8-concern attestation matrix (offline-testable
+> subset), and the outbox-based separation-of-duties check.
+
+The vision's "Lower Environments are Autonomous; Higher Environments are
+Attested" tenet [1] and the "deliberate human attestation — not as a
+rubber stamp" requirement [1] are the binding constraints.
+
+## Gate model (ARCHITECTURE.md §10.1)
+
+**Pre-execution gates.** The contract is held in a "validated but not
+applied" state until the human attests. qa, prod, dr are attestation
+gates. No partial deployment to roll back on rejection (qa, prod); dr is
+a separate deployment against a separate cluster/region. The
+canary/deployment-rollback model is explicitly not in scope for v1.
+
+## Gitea-specific gate mechanics (D-042)
+
+Gitea has **no Environments API** and ignores `environment:` blocks
+(v1.0 D-013; re-confirmed in RESEARCH TARGET 1). The pre-execution gate
+is modeled as a `workflow_dispatch` with approval inputs:
+
+- **qa gate:** `workflow_dispatch` with `approve_qa: true`; the dispatch
+  run's `gitea.actor` is the QA approver.
+- **prod gate:** `workflow_dispatch` with `approve_prod: true`;
+  `gitea.actor` is the SRE approver.
+- **dr gate:** `workflow_dispatch` with `approve_dr: true`; same.
+
+The approver identity of record = `gitea.actor` of the dispatch run
+(D-042). There is no other approval-identity signal in Gitea. The real
+OIDC path (blocked on go-gitea/gitea#36988) does not change this —
+OIDC authorizes the *runner* to AWS, it does not change how the platform
+records the *human* approver.
+
+On GitHub, the equivalent is `github.actor` of the `workflow_dispatch`
+run; GitHub Environments with required reviewers are the native gate,
+but the `workflow_dispatch` approval-input fallback is used for
+byte-identical Gitea + GitHub workflows.
+
+## Reviewer routing (ARCHITECTURE.md §10.2)
+
+Gitea CODEOWNERS routes the right reviewer to the right gate:
+
+- qa → QA team
+- prod → SRE team
+- dr → SRE team
+
+CODEOWNERS **routes**; it does **not** enforce identity distinctness (that
+is the platform-internal outbox check in
+`core/separation_of_duties.py`).
+
+## Full 8-concern attestation matrix (§10.4)
+
+The matrix is implemented in v1.9 as `core/attestation_matrix.py`
+(REQ-109, D-084). The concerns split into two tiers:
+
+**Offline-testable concerns** (run for real, no operator input):
+- Contract NFRs (the platform's own contract validator).
+- Schema validity (jsonschema).
+- Policy pass (Checkov/Wiz/Kyverno `PolicyCheckResult` records).
+
+**Operator-supplied concerns** (require an uploaded signed evidence
+artifact, validated for freshness + schema per D-084):
+- Functional correctness (e2e suite report).
+- Performance baseline (k6 / Gatling / Locust load test report).
+- Security posture (Trivy / Snyk / contract-declared scan + Security
+  on-call signature).
+- Operational readiness (runbook published, dashboard exists, on-call
+  rotation assigned, alerts configured).
+- Incident response (Sev-1 runbook tabletop or live drill completed).
+- Capacity / cost (FinOps forecast for next 30d within budget envelope).
+- Resilience (DR drill, chaos engineering report, backup verified).
+- dr-region deploy (most recent prod-bound dr drill as canary evidence).
+
+The full table (lifted verbatim from §10.4):
+
+| Env | Concern | Evidence artifact | Freshness | Source | Attester |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| qa | Functional correctness | Last successful run of contract-declared validation.e2eSuite with pass rate ≥ 99% | Last 24h | Test runner declared in contract | QA |
+| qa | Performance baseline | Load test report (k6 / Gatling / Locust) showing p99 latency < declared NFR and throughput > declared minimum | Last 7d | Load test runner declared in contract | QA |
+| qa | Security posture | Vulnerability scan (Trivy, Snyk, or contract-declared equivalent) with no criticals/highs, signed by Security on-call | Last 24h | Security scanner + Security team signature | QA |
+| qa | Contract NFRs | Platform-generated report: schema valid, NFR assertions (latency, throughput, error rate) within declared bounds | At submission | Platform contract validator | QA |
+| prod | Operational readiness | Runbook published, dashboard exists, on-call rotation assigned, alerts configured | At submission, validated against last 30d history | Platform + SRE | SRE |
+| prod | Incident response | Sev-1 runbook tabletop or live drill completed | Last 90d | SRE drill record | SRE |
+| prod | Capacity / cost | FinOps forecast for next 30d within budget envelope, cost anomaly baseline stored, budget alert configured | Forecast valid for next 30d | FinOps + SRE | SRE |
+| prod | Resilience | DR drill, chaos engineering report, backup verified | DR: 180d; chaos: 90d; backup: 30d | SRE + Platform | SRE |
+| dr | dr-region deploy with the most recent prod-bound dr drill as canary evidence | dr drill report | Last 180d | SRE | SRE |
+
+The operator-supplied evidence artifact is a JSON blob with `timestamp`,
+`type`, `payload`, and an optional `signature` (JWS detached). Freshness
+is validated against the window above. Signature verification runs when
+`ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID` is set; it is skipped + logged when
+unset (dev/CI — D-089). The matrix fails loud if an operator-supplied
+concern is missing or expired for prod/dr.
+
+## Timeout behavior (§10.5)
+
+| Time | State | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| Submission | PENDING_ATTESTATION | Notify responsible team |
+| 1 business day | PENDING_ATTESTATION_WARNING | Notify team + platform on-call (elevated path); emit `PENDING_ATTESTATION_TIMEOUT_WARNING` event |
+| 2 business days | PENDING_ATTESTATION_AUTO_FREEZE | Auto-freeze; require re-submission; emit `PENDING_ATTESTATION_AUTO_FREEZE` event; new submission linked via `supersedes` |
+
+**Implementation:** a Gitea `on: schedule` workflow (runs hourly) that
+scans the DynamoDB outbox for `PENDING_ATTESTATION` events with `ts`
+older than 1/2 business days and emits the warn/freeze events. Not
+implemented in v1.9 (roadmap item; the attestation gates themselves are
+wired, the timeout scanner is future work).
+
+## Rejection and rollback (§10.6)
+
+Rejection returns the contract to a `HELD` state with the rejection
+reason captured as a `PROMOTION_REJECTED` event. The consumer fixes the
+cause and re-submits; the new submission is linked to the rejected one
+via `supersedes` (a contract-schema field — `schemas/contract.schema.json`).
+The audit chain is **extended, not torn up** (the "Not a mutable audit
+log" anti-goal). No partial deployment to roll back at any v1 gate.
+
+## Separation of duties (§10.3) — pointer to the .py
+
+The identity-distinctness check is platform-internal, not GitHub-native,
+not Kyverno (in v1). Sequence:
+
+1. On promotion dev → qa, the platform reads the QA approver's identity
+   from the `workflow_dispatch` run's `gitea.actor` (or `github.actor`)
+   and writes it to the DynamoDB outbox keyed by `contractId` (attribute
+   `approver_qa`).
+2. On promotion qa → prod, the platform reads the stored `approver_qa`
+   from the outbox and the new SRE approver's `gitea.actor` from the
+   prod-dispatch run.
+3. If `approver_qa == approver_prod`, the platform blocks the prod
+   promotion, writes a `SEPARATION_OF_DUTIES_VIOLATION` event to the
+   evidence stream, and routes a halt artifact to the SRE on-call.
+4. The check is implemented in `core/separation_of_duties.py`
+   (T-7.8). The platform is the only writer to the outbox; the check is
+   in the same process that has authority to block the promotion.
+
+v1.9 implements `route_halt_artifact` as a real SNS publish (topic
+`acdl-sod-halt`, ARN from `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN`) with an outbox-event
+fallback when the topic ARN is unset (REQ-107). The attestation gate
+itself is `core/hitl_gates.py` (`attest(contract_id, env, approver,
+evidence)`), which records the approver to the outbox, runs the SoD
+check on prod, invokes the attestation matrix, and returns `(ok, reason)`.
+
+## v1.9 wiring
+
+v1.9 (Phase 41 + Phase 42) wires the gates end-to-end:
+
+- **Phase 41** ships the per-environment CI job structure: one job per
+  environment (dev/qa/prod/dr), each pointing at its respective contract
+  (or the same contract + the `environment` workflow_call input). The
+  qa/prod/dr caller workflows use `workflow_dispatch` with the approval
+  inputs above; dev is autonomous (no gate). Promotion = running the
+  matching job; no `environment:` field editing (D-082).
+- **Phase 42** implements `core/hitl_gates.py` (the attestation gate),
+  `core/attestation_matrix.py` (the 8-concern matrix), and the real
+  `route_halt_artifact` (SNS + outbox fallback). `scripts/run_platform.sh`
+  calls `hitl_gates.attest` before apply for qa/prod/dr (dev skips).
+
+## Decision trail
+
+- **D-042** — approver identity = `gitea.actor` of the `workflow_dispatch`
+  run; no Environments API in Gitea. On GitHub, `github.actor`.
+- **D-013** (v1.0) — the `workflow_dispatch` approval-input fallback,
+  re-used for the real platform's pre-execution gate model.
+- **D-084** (v1.9) — 8-concern attestation matrix: offline-testable
+  concerns run for real; operator-supplied concerns accept signed
+  evidence artifacts validated for freshness + schema.
+- **D-089** (v1.9) — attestation artifact signature verification is
+  skipped when `ACDL_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID` is unset (dev/CI);
+  required for prod/dr.

+# Architecture
+
+> **Status:** v1.0 (current). All design decisions are resolved. This is the
+> source of truth for *how* the platform works; the [Vision](vision) is the
+> source of truth for *why*.
+
+## 0. Purpose
+
+This document encodes the architectural commitments that realize the
+[vision](vision). Every commitment is grounded in a vision tenet.
+
+The platform is **four layers + six cross-cutting concerns**, bound by the
+vision's "Two Consumer Surfaces, One Platform" tenet: both surfaces converge
+on the same contract schema, the same policy envelope, and the same evidence
+stream.
+
+## 1. Architectural Overview
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["Consumer surfaces"] --> B["Contract schema"]
+    B --> C["Central pipeline"]
+    C --> D["Modules + primitives"]
+    C --> E["Angine adapter"]
+    C --> F["Confidence signal"]
+    C --> G["Evidence stream"]
+    D --> E
+    E --> H["Infrastructure"]
+    F --> G
+```
+
+The four layers:
+
+1. **Primitives** — single-purpose, engine-agnostic modules representing
+   the smallest reusable infrastructure pieces (a VPC, an S3 bucket, an ECS
+   cluster). A primitive does not reference other primitives; it takes its
+   environment as input.
+2. **Modules** — patterns that combine primitives into deployable
+   infrastructure shapes (an ECS Fargate microservice, a static-assets site).
+   A module references registered primitives (max depth 5).
+3. **Developer surface** — the developer-owned workflow file + contract. The
+   developer references the central pipeline via a versioned tag and owns
+   their workflow file (no platform auto-sync).
+4. **Agentic surface** — a hybrid runtime where a consumer declares intent
+   in natural language and an agent resolves it to a contract submission.
+   Trust model: trust and always verify on the platform side. Stateless
+   agents; all state lives in the platform.
+
+The developer and agentic surfaces are parallel paths, not a progression.
+Both end in a contract submission that enters the same pipeline.
+
+## 2. Primitives
+
+Single-purpose, engine-agnostic modules. Locked commitments:
+
+- No inter-primitive references. A primitive may call engine data sources.
+- Semver with three triggers: interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR,
+  lifecycle → PATCH.
+- Immutability on publication.
+- 12-month deprecation window.
+- AI refinement is a flag, triggered by a joint operational condition
+  (N ≥ 50 consecutive zero-rollback changes, no primitive/module incident in
+  6 months, Infra & Ops unilateral override).
+- A primitive's interface is defined against the Target Stack (engine-
+  agnostic), not against any engine's variable block directly.
+
+## 3. Modules
+
+Patterns that combine primitives into deployable shapes. Locked commitments:
+
+- One codebase maps to one canonical module (default); `multiStack: true`
+  is permitted only for (a) a DR-region mirror, (b) a time-boxed
+  experimental stack (TTL ≤ 30 days), or (c) explicit Infra & Ops approval
+  with a documented justification.
+- A module references registered primitives only (max depth 5).
+- Pipeline quality checks: secrets-in-plaintext, public ingress, IAM
+  wildcard, KMS key reference, tag compliance, naming convention.
+- Restricted from module patterns: IAM principal creation, network boundary
+  creation, key/secret creation, external data transfer.
+- Auto-promote after 3 observed usages.
+- A module's pattern tree wires field is defined against the stack's
+  relationship type, not against any engine's module block. The stack →
+  engine translation is the engine adapter's job (§12). The pattern
+  pipeline itself is engine-agnostic.
+
+## 4. Developer Surface
+
+- Tag-based reference to the central pipeline template.
+- Developer-owned workflow file, no platform auto-sync.
+- Tag mutability for production-bound references: tag for dev/qa, SHA for
+  prod. The platform provides a CLI command that resolves the current tag
+  to its SHA for prod-bound workflows.
+
+## 5. Agentic Surface
+
+- Hybrid runtime: skill as markdown, agent as executor.
+- Trust model: trust and always verify on the platform side.
+- Skill envelope (4 dimensions).
+- Stateless agents; all state in the platform.
+- Initial skill catalog: web API, worker, scheduled job, static asset,
+  basic observability bootstrap. Addition criteria: (a) reviewable for
+  sensitive data, (b) expressible as a single contract submission,
+  (c) documented use case.
+- `profile: agentic` unlocks agentic-specific fields
+  (`naturalLanguageIntent`, `confidenceAtSubmission`, `agentTrace`).
+
+## 6. Cross-Cutting — Central Pipeline Template
+
+- JSON Schema (draft 2020-12) with a thin domain-specific wrapper.
+- Central repo + generated client libraries.
+- Multi-stage validation pipeline: schema → policy → NFR → confidence.
+- Distributed enrichment.
+- GitOps reconciler + engine execution layer.
+- The pipeline emits a `PolicyCheckResult` record per policy rule evaluated;
+  the confidence signal consumes these as one normalized input (§8).
+
+## 7. Cross-Cutting — Contract Schema
+
+- Central repo + generated client libraries.
+- Strict fail-fast at the schema stage with reason codes from a published
+  vocabulary.
+- Per-environment mandatory fields: dev requires stack + environment; qa
+  adds `validation.e2eSuite` + `validation.loadTest`; prod adds runbook +
+  dashboard + oncall; dr adds `drDrillRef`. `inputs` is always optional.
+  `profile: agentic` fields are optional everywhere (`naturalLanguageIntent`
+  required when profile is agentic).
+
+## 8. Cross-Cutting — Confidence Signal
+
+- Six canonical inputs: policy, validation, freshness, source, history, NFRs.
+- Weighted sum with per-input breakdown.
+- Per-environment thresholds: dev ≥ 0.50, qa ≥ 0.75, prod ≥ 0.90, dr ≥ 0.95.
+- Structured output: `{ score, band, perInput, reasonCodes }`.
+- 1-year storage; no algorithm retraining in v1.
+- Halt with explicit reason on missing input.
+- Severity → score penalty: critical → hard override to mandatory block,
+  high → -0.2, medium → -0.05, low → -0.01, info → 0.0. One critical finding
+  hard-overrides the score regardless of all other inputs.
+- Thresholds frozen for v1; tuning begins post-v1 with quarterly FP/FN
+  tracking per environment. Override authority = Infra & Ops + SRE joint
+  sign-off; any override is itself a confidence-event in the audit stream.
+
+## 9. Cross-Cutting — Audit and Evidence Stream
+
+- Every delivery action produces an immutable, hash-chained evidence event.
+- The audit stream is the platform's certified record of what happened, when,
+  and why.
+- Events are written to a DynamoDB outbox and rendered on an evidence
+  timeline.
+
+## 10. Cross-Cutting — HITL Matrix
+
+Human-in-the-loop gates for higher environments:
+
+| Environment | Autonomy | Attester | Gate |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| dev | Full autonomy (no HITL) | — | Confidence ≥ 0.50, all six inputs present |
+| qa | Held for attestation | QA | Platform-runner deployment approval + full QA matrix |
+| prod | Held for attestation | SRE | Platform-runner deployment approval + full SRE matrix |
+| dr | Held for attestation | SRE | Platform-runner deployment approval + dr-drill evidence |
+
+Staging does not exist. Dev is the only autonomous environment and absorbs
+integration, contract, security smoke, and performance smoke validation.
+
+- Pre-execution gate model. 1 business day = warn + escalate; 2 business
+  days = auto-freeze + re-submit. Rejection extends the audit chain; no
+  partial deploy to roll back.
+- Separation of duties: the platform-internal identity record in the
+  DynamoDB outbox enforces `qaApprover ≠ prodApprover` for the same contract.
+
+## 11. Cross-Cutting — Separation of Duties
+
+- CODEOWNERS routes the right reviewer to the right environment.
+- The DynamoDB outbox enforces identity distinctness across environment
+  approvers.
+
+## 12. Cross-Cutting — Angine Execution
+
+The technical execution layer. Primitives and modules are engine-agnostic
+in shape; engine adapters are the only engine-specific component.
+
+The architecture defines a **Target Stack** — a engine-neutral
+description of:
+
+- The resources to create (typed against the stack schema).
+- Their relationships (the module's pattern tree).
+- Their inputs (wired from the contract).
+- Policy hooks (the points in the pattern where policy checks attach).
+
+The registry, the module pattern tree, the contract schema, and the
+`PolicyCheckResult` schema are all defined against the stack schema. None is
+defined against any specific engine.
+
+**v1 implementation reality:** the stack is shaped to round-trip cleanly to
+Terraform because there is no other adapter to differentiate from. As
+additional adapters appear, the stack gets more expressive and the adapters
+gain translation logic, but the primitive content, the module pattern tree,
+and the contract schema do not change. This is the design that prevents a
+polyglot mess.
+
+The engine adapter:
+
+- Translates the stack-typed module pattern tree to a engine root module
+  that calls the primitive modules.
+- Is a thin layer. It does not own primitive/module content; it only
+  translates.
+- Is the only engine-specific code in the platform.
+
+Policy checks run on the engine plan output. Results are normalized to
+`PolicyCheckResult` records by a policy adapter. The confidence signal
+consumes the union of all `PolicyCheckResult` records, regardless of engine
+— engine-agnostic over its inputs, matching the module model's
+engine-agnosticism over its outputs.
+
+## 13. Cross-Cutting — Platform Runners
+
+The platform runs on platform-managed runners (GitHub Actions in
+production). Runner-specific code = workflow YAML, OIDC trust, CODEOWNERS,
+environments. The contract schema, stack, `PolicyCheckResult`, confidence
+signal, and audit stream are portable (runner-agnostic); a second runner
+platform needs a runner adapter + workflow-template translator, with no
+change to the modules/stack/confidence/audit.
+
+## 14. Versioning
+
+- Primitives and modules use semver: interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR,
+  lifecycle → PATCH.
+- A module pins primitives by `name@semver`; the resolver picks the highest
+  compatible.
+- A MAJOR bump requires a new registry entry (immutable publication); the
+  old entry enters a 12-month deprecation window.
+- The central deploy pipeline is referenced by a floating MAJOR + MINOR tag
+  (e.g. `@v1.6`); patch fixes flow within the tag, breaking changes land
+  under the next MINOR tag.
+
+See [Versioning](pipeline/versioning) for the consumer-facing details.
+
+## 15. OpenTofu
+
+Not in v1. The engine abstraction (§12) makes OpenTofu a future adapter,
+not an architecture change. Revisit when an OpenTofu adapter is requested.

+# Consumer Guide — Declare intent, deploy to AWS
+
+This guide walks a consumer through creating their pipeline and defining a
+contract that deploys any ACDL module to AWS. It is **generic** across all
+modules in the registry; `static-assets` is the worked example, but every
+step applies to `microservice` and any future module.
+
+## The model
+
+Consumers have their own repos and consume ACDL by referencing `uses:` the
+central pipeline definitions. The consumer declares a **contract** (which
+module, which environment, which inputs); the ACDL platform owns the
+pipelines, modules, engine adapter, and evidence stream.
+
+You do not write infrastructure modules, workflow YAML, or adapter code.
+You write a contract YAML file and the platform does the rest. Your
+repository contains only your application code, your contracts, and your CI
+definitions.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A["your repo<br/>(app code + contracts + CI definitions)"] -->|uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9| B
+    B["platform runners<br/>(modules + pipelines + adapters + schemas)"] -->|contract -&gt; resolver -&gt; stack -&gt; adapter<br/>-&gt; security checks -&gt; infrastructure plan -&gt; policy checks<br/>-&gt; confidence -&gt; apply -&gt; evidence event| C
+    C["your resources in AWS"]
+```
+
+## Versioning the `uses:` reference
+
+The central deployment pipeline is **always versioned with floating MAJOR
+and MINOR tags** (e.g. `acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9`). Version
+constraints cannot be expressed inside the contract, so the tag in
+`uses:` is the only immutability lever a consumer has. See
+[Versioning](pipeline/versioning) for the full rationale.
+
+**Unversioned references are discouraged.** Do not use `@main` or a bare
+`acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+These are the **only** prerequisites for a consumer repo. You do **not**
+need an AWS account, infrastructure tooling, or a runner key — those are
+platform-managed. See [Environments](environments/).
+
+- **A consumer GitHub repository** for your application code + contracts.
+- **A platform-managed environment** bound to your repo. The platform team
+  provisions the AWS account, network, state backend, and IAM role. If no
+  environment is bound, your first pipeline run emits a friendly onboarding
+  prompt. See [Environments](environments/).
+- **Authorization to reference the central pipeline.** Onboarding grants
+  your repo the right to `uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9`.
+  Contact the platform team if you have not been onboarded.
+
+## Step 1 — Create a consumer repo
+
+Create a repository for your application. The top level holds your app
+code; your contract lives at `.acdl/contract.yaml`. Example for a static
+site:
+
+```
+my-static-site/
+  index.html
+  assets/
+    style.css
+    logo.png
+  .acdl/
+    contract.yaml
+  .github/
+    workflows/
+      deploy.yml
+```
+
+Example for a microservice:
+
+```
+my-microservice/
+  app.py
+  Dockerfile
+  .acdl/
+    contract.yaml
+  .github/
+    workflows/
+      deploy.yml
+```
+
+Your app code lives at the top level. Your contract lives at
+`.acdl/contract.yaml` regardless of the module you deploy. Your CI
+definition lives at `.github/workflows/deploy.yml`.
+
+## Step 2 — Reference the central pipeline
+
+In your contract YAML, declare `uses:` pointing at the central ACDL
+deployment pipeline with a **versioned tag** (floating MAJOR + MINOR):
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9
+```
+
+This tells the platform to run the standard deployment pipeline:
+validate-contract → resolve-stack → security checks → infrastructure plan →
+policy checks → confidence → evidence event → apply.
+
+## Step 3 — Define the contract
+
+Write `.acdl/contract.yaml`. The `static-assets` example:
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9
+module: static-assets
+environment: dev
+inputs:
+  bucket_name: my-static-site-assets
+  region: us-east-1
+```
+
+A `microservice` example:
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9
+module: microservice
+environment: dev
+inputs:
+  image: my-registry/my-microservice:latest
+  port: 8080
+  env:
+    LOG_LEVEL: info
+```
+
+### Contract fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `uses` | string | yes | Reference to the central deployment pipeline, **versioned** with a floating MAJOR+MINOR tag (e.g. `acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9`). Bare or `@main` references are discouraged. See [Versioning](pipeline/versioning). |
+| `module` | string | yes | Module name from the registry — any primitive or module (e.g. `static-assets`, `microservice`, `s3`). See the [module catalog](modules/). |
+| `environment` | string | yes | The platform-managed environment to deploy to (e.g. `dev`). See [Environments](environments/). |
+| `inputs` | object | yes | Module-specific inputs (see the module's README). |
+
+### Module inputs
+
+Each module declares its inputs in its `interface.json` (primitives) or
+`composition.json` (modules). Consult the [module catalog](modules/) for
+the full list, or read the module's own README under `modules/l1/<name>/`
+or `modules/l2/<name>/`. Each module also has an `examples/` directory
+with validated consumer contract examples (`simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml`
++ variation files) that demonstrate real usage — see the module's
+`## Examples` section.
+
+The contract is validated against the contract schema. An invalid contract
+(missing field, unknown module, wrong type) fails at the validate-contract
+stage with a clear error.
+
+## Step 4 — Run the pipeline
+
+You do **not** run platform scripts locally for the happy path. The central
+deploy workflow is a **reusable workflow** that the platform runners fetch
+and execute for you.
+
+### The consumer CI definition
+
+Add a thin workflow file to **your** repo that invokes the reusable ACDL
+deploy workflow with a **versioned tag** (`.github/workflows/deploy.yml`):
+
+```yaml
+name: deploy
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [main]
+jobs:
+  deploy:
+    uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9
+    with:
+      contract: .acdl/contract.yaml
+```
+
+That is the entire consumer-side workflow. When you push to `main`:
+
+1. The platform runner resolves `uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9`
+   to the reusable workflow **at the pinned tag**.
+2. A **platform-provided runner** checks out **your** repo.
+3. The runner checks out the **ACDL platform repo** into the workspace —
+   this is how the pipeline fetches the platform code at run time. You
+   never clone the platform repo yourself.
+4. The runner installs the runtime dependencies the platform requires.
+5. The runner invokes `scripts/run_platform.sh` against your
+   `.acdl/contract.yaml`.
+
+You see the streamed output (infrastructure plan, policy-check results,
+confidence signal) in your run logs. The `--check-only` and `--plan-only`
+flags are platform-side modes visible in the pipeline logs; you do not pass
+them yourself — the reusable workflow selects the mode based on the
+`environment` in your contract (`dev` = full apply; higher environments
+hold for attestation).
+
+### Local validation (optional)
+
+A consumer *may* clone the ACDL platform repo to run `--check-only` against
+their contract before pushing — this is optional and not required for the
+happy path. If you do this, the runtime dependencies must be installed
+locally, and any AWS credentials follow the
+[Credentials](../README.md#credentials--zero-trust) override model: a
+static key in `.env.secrets` (gitignored) is rotated **out of band by you**
+— the platform guarantees daily rotation for platform-runner runs, not for
+locally-held copies.
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only path/to/your/.acdl/contract.yaml
+```

+## Step 5 — What the pipeline does
+
+Each stage of the central deployment pipeline:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    S1["validate-contract<br/>schema check"] --> S2
+    S2["resolve-stack<br/>contract -&gt; Target Stack"] --> S3
+    S3["security checks<br/>(adapter)"] --> S4
+    S4["infrastructure plan<br/>(adapter compiles the stack)"] --> S5
+    S5["policy checks<br/>(adapter -&gt; PolicyCheckResult)"] --> S6
+    S6["confidence<br/>score + band (dev &gt;= 0.50)"] --> S7
+    S7["evidence event<br/>to the audit outbox"] --> S8
+    S8["infrastructure apply<br/>(dev only)"]
+```
+
+1. **validate-contract** — validates your contract YAML against the contract
+   schema. Fails fast on missing fields, unknown modules, or wrong types.
+2. **resolve-stack** — the contract resolver resolves your contract to a
+   Target Stack instance. It loads the module's pattern, expands its
+   children, wires your contract inputs to the children's inputs, and emits
+   a stack JSON instance.
+3. **security checks** (adapter) — security checks run on the resolved
+   stack before any infrastructure is planned.
+4. **infrastructure plan** (adapter) — the engine adapter compiles the
+   stack to an infrastructure plan. You see the plan in your run logs.
+5. **policy checks** (adapter) — policy checks run on the plan. The results
+   are normalized to `PolicyCheckResult` records. Each result has a
+   severity, rule ID, and pass/fail status.
+6. **confidence** — the confidence signal computes a score from 6 inputs
+   (policy, validation, freshness, source, history, NFRs). For `dev`, the
+   threshold is ≥ 0.50. If the band is `pass`, the pipeline proceeds.
+7. **evidence event** — a hash-chained evidence event is written to the
+   audit outbox.
+8. **infrastructure apply** (dev only) — the infrastructure plan is applied,
+   creating the resources in your AWS account. An evidence event for the
+   apply is recorded.
+
+## Step 6 — What gets created
+
+After a successful `dev` run, the resources declared by your module's
+pattern exist in your AWS account, and an evidence event is recorded.
+
+For the `static-assets` example:
+
+- **An S3 bucket** named `my-static-site-assets` in `us-east-1` with
+  versioning enabled.
+- **A CloudFront distribution** with the S3 bucket as the origin (via
+  Origin Access Control) and HTTPS redirection.
+- **A WAFv2 Web ACL** (CloudFront-scoped) associated with the
+  distribution.
+- **An evidence event** in the audit outbox with the contract ID, stack
+  name (`static-assets`), confidence score, and band.
+- **A confidence band** of `pass` (score ≥ 0.50 for dev).
+
+For other modules, consult the module's README
+(`modules/l1/<name>/README.md` or `modules/l2/<name>/README.md`) for the
+exact resources created.
+
+## Step 7 — Upload your content (static-assets example)
+
+The platform provisions the infrastructure; you upload your content. For
+the `static-assets` module:
+
+```bash
+aws s3 sync ./assets s3://my-static-site-assets/ --acl public-read
+```
+
+For a `microservice`, the platform provisions the ECS service and ALB; you
+push your container image to the ECR repo the platform created.
+
+## Step 8 — Promote to qa / prod
+
+Change `environment` in your contract (keeping the same versioned `uses:`):
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9
+environment: qa   # QA attestation + confidence >= 0.75
+```
+
+Higher environments require human attestation (a platform-runner deployment
+approval) and higher confidence thresholds. See [Environments](environments/)
+for the full table.
+
+## Step 9 — Compliance extensions
+
+Each module lists compliance extension points for the future compliance
+milestone (GDPR, SOX, SOC2, DORA). See each module's README under
+`modules/l1/<name>/README.md` or `modules/l2/<name>/README.md` for the
+per-module extension points. Common examples:
+
+- **KMS key** — shared encryption key for SSE.
+- **S3 access logs** — access logging to a separate audit bucket.
+- **Object Lock** — 7-year immutable retention for evidence.
+- **Public access block** — prevent data exfiltration.

+
+## Decommissioning a stack
+
+When a consumer needs to tear down a deployed stack, the platform provides
+a **decommission mode** on the same deploy pipeline. The decommission
+process is a 2-step pipeline with **HITL SRE gates** to prevent accidental
+destruction:
+
+1. **Request a change request (CR):** Contact the platform team to create a
+   change request in the platform CMDB (DynamoDB `acdl-change-requests`
+   table). The CR must be approved before decommission can proceed. The CR
+   includes the consumer repo, contract ID, and the reason for decommission.
+
+2. **Trigger decommission:** Update the consumer's deploy workflow call to
+   use `mode: decommission` with the `changeRequestId` input:
+
+   ```yaml
+   uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.8
+   with:
+     contract: .acdl/contract.yaml
+     mode: decommission
+     changeRequestId: "CHG0678912"
+   ```
+
+3. **Step 1 — Disable deletion protection (HITL SRE gate):** The pipeline
+   validates the CR ID against the CMDB (status must be `approved`). Then
+   it resolves the contract with `deletion_protection: false` injected into
+   all resources and runs `terraform plan` + `terraform apply`. This
+   removes the `prevent_destroy` lifecycle meta-argument from all resources.
+   **An SRE must approve this step** via the GitHub environment
+   `decommission-gate-sre`.
+
+4. **Step 2 — Zero counts + destroy (HITL SRE gate):** The pipeline applies
+   `decommission_transform` which sets all scalable counts to 0
+   (`desired_count=0`, `min_capacity=0`, `max_capacity=0`) and
+   `deletion_protection=false` on all resources. Then it runs
+   `terraform plan` + `terraform apply` which destroys all resources (now
+   that deletion protection is off and counts are zeroed). **A second SRE
+   must approve this step** via the GitHub environment
+   `decommission-destroy-sre`.
+
+5. **Confirmation:** The pipeline confirms the stack is destroyed
+   (terraform state is empty for the stack).
+
+### What happens to the per-stack CMK?
+
+The per-stack CMK is not immediately destroyed — it enters a deletion
+window (default 30 days, configurable via the `deletion_window_days` input).
+This ensures any encrypted data can still be decrypted during the deletion
+window if needed. The CMK is permanently deleted after the window expires.
+
+### What happens to the uptime monitoring?
+
+The uptime monitoring stack (deployed with separate state) is not
+automatically destroyed by the decommission. It must be destroyed
+separately (or left running to monitor the decommissioned stack's
+endpoints going dark).
+## Per-environment deployment
+
+ACDL supports a **promotion-without-editing** model: you do not edit the
+`environment:` field in a contract to promote dev → qa → prod → dr.
+Instead, there is **one CI job per environment**, each pointing at its
+respective contract (or the same contract + the `environment` workflow
+input). Promotion = running the matching job.
+
+### Two shapes (both supported)
+
+**Shape 1 — per-environment contract files:** a consumer repo has one
+contract per environment (e.g. `.acdl/static-assets.dev.yaml`,
+`.acdl/static-assets.qa.yaml`, …). Each sets `environment:` to its own
+name and uses interpolation so env-specific values differ automatically:
+
+```yaml
+# .acdl/static-assets.qa.yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.9
+module: static-assets
+environment: qa
+inputs:
+  bucket_name: acdl-${env.environment}-${contract.module}-${env.account_id}-${env.region}
+  region: ${env.region}
+```
+
+**Shape 2 — single contract + `environment` workflow input:** the
+reusable deploy workflow (`acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9`)
+declares an `environment` input. When non-empty, it overrides the
+contract's `environment` field at load time (before interpolation), so
+the same contract can be promoted by passing a different environment:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/deploy-qa.yml  (caller workflow)
+on: workflow_dispatch:
+  inputs:
+    approve_qa:
+      description: "Set to true to approve the QA promotion"
+      type: boolean
+      required: true
+jobs:
+  deploy-qa:
+    uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9
+    with:
+      environment: qa
+      contract: .acdl/contract.yaml
+```
+
+### One job per environment
+
+A consumer repo's `.github/workflows/` directory has one caller workflow
+per environment:
+
+| File | Environment | Gate |
+|------|-------------|------|
+| `deploy-dev.yml` | dev | autonomous (no gate, confidence ≥ 0.50) |
+| `deploy-qa.yml` | qa | QA HITL (`approve_qa` workflow_dispatch input; `github.actor` is the approver of record) |
+| `deploy-prod.yml` | prod | SRE HITL (`approve_prod`; separation-of-duties enforced) |
+| `deploy-dr.yml` | dr | SRE HITL (`approve_dr`) |
+
+**Promotion = running the matching job.** No `environment:` field editing.
+The approver identity is recorded to the DynamoDB outbox
+(`approver_qa` / `approver_prod` / `approver_dr`) and the separation-of-
+duties check blocks a prod promotion when `approver_qa == approver_prod`
+(see `core/hitl_matrix_design.md`).
+
+### Interpolation reference
+
+| Token | Resolves to | Example |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `${env.environment}` | the environment name (dev/qa/prod/dr) | `qa` |
+| `${env.region}` | the environment's AWS region | `us-east-1` |
+| `${env.account_id}` | the environment's AWS account id | `123456789012` |
+| `${env.state_backend.bucket}` | the environment's state bucket | `acdl-qa-state` |
+| `${env.network.vpc_cidr}` | the environment's VPC CIDR | `10.1.0.0/16` |
+| `${contract.module}` | the contract's module name | `static-assets` |
+| `${contract.environment}` | the contract's environment field | `qa` |
+| `${contract.inputs.<name>}` | a contract input value | (as declared) |
+
+Unknown tokens raise `ValueError` (fail loud). Expansion is recursive
+(nested map/list values expand too).

+# Contracts
+
+A consumer declares intent in a **contract** — a small YAML file that
+references the central deploy pipeline, names a module, selects an
+environment, and supplies module-specific inputs. The platform validates,
+resolves, and deploys it.
+
+## The contract file
+
+A consumer repo keeps its contract at `.acdl/contract.yaml`. A minimal
+example (the `static-assets` module):
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
+module: static-assets
+environment: dev
+inputs:
+  bucket_name: my-static-site-assets
+  region: us-east-1
+```
+
+A `microservice` example:
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
+module: microservice
+environment: dev
+inputs:
+  image: my-registry/my-microservice:latest
+  port: 8080
+  env:
+    LOG_LEVEL: info
+```
+
+## Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `uses` | string | yes | Reference to the central deploy pipeline, **versioned** with a floating MAJOR+MINOR tag (e.g. `acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6`). Bare or `@main` references are discouraged. See [Versioning](../pipeline/versioning). |
+| `module` | string | yes | Module name from the registry — any primitive or module (e.g. `static-assets`, `microservice`, `s3`). See the [module catalog](../modules/). |
+| `environment` | string | yes | The platform-managed environment to deploy to (e.g. `dev`). See [Environments](../environments/). |
+| `inputs` | object | yes | Module-specific inputs (see the module's README). |
+
+## Validation
+
+The contract is validated against
+[`schemas/contract.schema.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/schemas/contract.schema.json).
+An invalid contract (missing field, unknown module, wrong type) fails at the
+validate-contract stage with a clear error.
+
+## Sample contracts
+
+Two reference examples exist in `contracts/`:
+
+- [`contracts/static-assets.yaml`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/contracts/static-assets.yaml)
+  — the `static-assets` module (uses `@v1.6`).
+- [`contracts/microservice.yaml`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/contracts/microservice.yaml)
+  — the `microservice` module (uses `@v1.6`).
+
+Additionally, every module has a `modules/<name>/examples/` directory with
+validated example contracts (`simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml` + variation
+files). See the [module catalog](../modules/) for the full list.
+
+## Multiple contracts
+
+A consumer repo may contain more than one contract (e.g. one per service or
+one per environment). Each contract is a separate deployment; each is
+referenced by a CI definition in `.github/workflows/` that invokes the
+central reusable workflow with the contract path. See the
+[Consumer Guide](../consumer-guide/) for the multi-contract pattern.

+# Environments
+
+A consumer does **not** provide an AWS account, a VPC, a subnet, an S3 state
+bucket, or a runner key. The platform manages environments.
+
+## What an environment is
+
+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 (an S3 bucket + DynamoDB lock table for infrastructure
+  state).
+- An IAM role surfaced to the consumer via attribute-based authorization
+  (ABAC), scoped to the consumer's repository identity and resource tags.
+
+A consumer selects an environment **by name** in their contract:
+
+```yaml
+environment: dev
+```
+
+The platform resolves the name to the underlying account/network/state/role
+at run time. The consumer never sees the raw credentials.
+
+## First-run onboarding
+
+When a consumer pipeline runs for the first time and **no environment is
+defined** for the consumer's repo, the platform detects this and 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 (contact the platform team).
+
+The pipeline then exits without attempting a deployment. Once the platform
+team binds an environment to the repo, the next pipeline run proceeds
+normally.
+
+## Autonomy by environment
+
+| Environment | Autonomy | Gate |
+|-------------|----------|------|
+| dev | Full autonomy | Confidence ≥ 0.50 |
+| qa | Held for attestation | QA attestation + confidence ≥ 0.75 |
+| prod | Held for attestation | SRE attestation + confidence ≥ 0.90 |
+| dr | Held for attestation | SRE attestation + confidence ≥ 0.95 + dr-drill |
+
+`dev` is the only autonomous environment. Higher environments require human
+attestation (a platform-runner deployment approval) and a higher confidence
+threshold. Staging does not exist.
+
+## Cross-account contract ingestion grant (D-051)
+
+Onboarding now also grants the consumer repo's deploy role permission to
+invoke the **platform Lambda** — `acdl-contract-ingestor` — across
+accounts. The Lambda is invoked via a Function URL with IAM auth, so the
+grant is an inline IAM policy applied to the consumer's deploy role. The
+policy template lives at
+[`terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/terraform/platform/consumer_invoke_policy.json)
+and is scoped via **ABAC**: the condition
+`aws:PrincipalTag/acdl:owner == ${consumerRepo}` ensures a repo can only
+invoke the Lambda when its principal tag matches its claimed identity.
+
+The consumer's deploy workflow signs the Function URL request with
+SigV4 using its deploy-role credentials; the platform Lambda validates
+the signature and the ABAC condition before accepting the payload.
+
+This is a **one-way** channel — the consumer pushes contracts *to* the
+platform; the platform never reaches back into the consumer account. It
+is used for two purposes:
+
+1. **Contract ingestion** — the consumer submits its resolved deployment
+   contract (`action: "submit_contract"`) so the platform has a durable
+   record in the `acdl-contracts` DynamoDB table (PK `consumerRepo`, SK
+   `contractId#submittedAt`).
+2. **Error reporting** (D-055) — the consumer reports a deployment error
+   (`action: "report_error"`) which the platform turns into a GitHub
+   issue on the platform repo (wired in Phase 25; the Lambda returns a
+   prepared-status stub until then).
+
+The Lambda handler and the Terraform that deploys it live in
+[`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py)
+and
+[`terraform/platform/main.tf`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/terraform/platform/main.tf)
+respectively.
+
+## Onboarding scaffold (current state)
+
+The platform repo ships a minimal onboarding scaffold:
+
+- [`core/environments/`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/core/environments/)
+  — environment definitions (a sample `dev.json`).
+- `core/environment_check.py` — checks whether an environment is defined for
+  a given contract's repo + environment name; prints the friendly onboarding
+  prompt when none is defined.
+- `scripts/run_platform.sh` calls the check before contract validation.
+
+The scaffold is minimal: the actual provisioning of a new environment is a
+platform-team action today. Self-service environment provisioning is on the
+[roadmap](../).

+# ACDL — Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform
+
+Consumers declare intent; the platform delivers safe production deployment
+through an agentic stack — automatically, safely, and with a complete audit
+trail. A merged change progresses through lower environments end-to-end
+without a platform engineer joining a thread; a non-technical consumer ships
+a production deployment by declaring intent, without authoring a workflow,
+a configuration file, or an infrastructure module.
+
+## Two repositories
+
+There are two kinds of repository in the ACDL model:
+
+- **Platform repo (this one).** The source code of the platform. It owns
+  `modules/`, `adapters/`, `core/`, `schemas/`, `pipelines/`, `scripts/`,
+  and the reusable workflow files. Platform engineers work here. A consumer
+  never clones it.
+- **Consumer repo (yours).** A consumer repo contains only its application
+  code, one or more contracts (`.acdl/contract.yaml`), and one or more CI
+  definitions (a thin `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` that `uses:` the central
+  reusable workflow, pointing at the appropriate environment + contract).
+  The consumer does not write infrastructure modules, workflow YAML, or
+  adapter code.
+
+## Documentation
+
+| Section | Audience | What it covers |
+|---------|----------|----------------|
+| [Consumer Guide](consumer-guide) | Consumers | Step-by-step: create a repo, write a contract, reference the central pipeline, ship a deployment. |
+| [Modules](modules/) | Consumers + platform engineers | The module catalog — primitives and modules, their inputs/outputs, and usage. |
+| [Contracts](contracts/) | Consumers | The contract schema, fields, and a worked sample. |
+| [Pipeline](pipeline/) | Consumers + platform engineers | The central CI + deployment pipeline and its stages. |
+| [Versioning](pipeline/versioning) | Consumers + platform engineers | Module versioning + deploy-pipeline versioning (the `uses:` tag). |
+| [Environments](environments/) | Consumers | Platform-managed environments and the first-run onboarding flow. |
+| [Architecture](architecture) | Platform engineers | The current architecture — layers, cross-cutting concerns, the engine abstraction. |
+| [Vision](vision) | All | The why — the friction the platform absorbs and the north star. |
+
+## Features
+
+- **Contract-driven deploys** — a consumer writes a YAML contract; the
+  platform resolves it to a stack, compiles it, and deploys it.
+- **Reusable versioned deploy workflow** — consumer repos `uses:` a
+  versioned central workflow; no platform code is cloned by the consumer.
+- **Module catalog** — primitives (single resources) and modules (patterns
+  of primitives) with self-documented inputs/outputs.
+- **Zero-trust credentials** — OIDC federation + attribute-based
+  authorization (ABAC) by default; no long-lived keys in consumer repos.
+- **Security + policy checks** — a security-check stage and a policy-check
+  stage run before any infrastructure is created.
+- **Confidence signal** — a computed, explainable score gates promotion.
+- **Evidence outbox** — every deployment writes a hash-chained evidence
+  event to an audit outbox.
+- **Shell reproducibility** — `scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline
+  locally; `scripts/run_platform.sh --check-only` runs offline.
+- **Platform-managed environments** — consumers provide no AWS account,
+  VPC, subnet, or state bucket; the platform manages environments.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+Planned future features (no dates; tracked in the internal roadmap):
+
+- **Dynamic module creation from a contract** — an agentic flow where a
+  consumer creates a module directly from the contract file (the "composition"
+  mechanism, redesigned).
+- **Compliance milestone** — per-module compliance extension points (GDPR,
+  SOX, SOC2, DORA) wired into the pipeline.
+- **Additional engine adapters** — beyond the Terraform adapter.
+- **Environment self-service** — a consumer-facing flow to request and
+  provision a new platform-managed environment.
+- **HITL gates for qa / prod / dr** — human attestation + higher confidence
+  thresholds for higher environments.
+- **OIDC for all platform runners** — zero-trust credentials everywhere.

+# Modules
+
+Reusable building blocks for cloud infrastructure. There are two kinds:
+
+- **Primitives** — a single cloud resource or a small group of related
+  resources (e.g. a VPC with subnets and routing). Each primitive has an
+  `interface.json` declaring its inputs and outputs.
+- **Modules** — a pattern that references multiple primitives to deploy a
+  complete stack (e.g. an ECS Fargate microservice). Each module has a
+  `composition.json` declaring its children and wires.
+
+The engine adapter compiles a module instance to infrastructure. Each
+module's README documents which resources it creates.

+
+## Registry
+
+Module versions are tracked in
+[`registry.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/modules/registry.json).
+Both primitives and modules are registered.
+
+## Examples
+
+Each module has a `examples/` directory containing validated consumer
+contract examples (`simple.yaml` + `complex.yaml` + variation files). The
+platform-test pipeline validates them against
+[`schemas/contract.schema.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/schemas/contract.schema.json).
+See each module's `## Examples` section for the excerpts.
+
+## Versioning
+
+Primitives and modules use semver: interface → MAJOR, behavior → MINOR,
+lifecycle → PATCH. A MAJOR bump requires a new registry entry (immutable
+publication); the old entry enters a 12-month deprecation window. See
+[Versioning](../pipeline/versioning) for the deploy-pipeline versioning.
+
+## Module patterns (roadmap)
+
+The current `composition.json` mechanism is a thin pattern layer. A future
+redesign will let a consumer dynamically create a module directly from the
+contract file (an agentic "composition" flow). That is on the roadmap, not
+implemented today.

+# Pipeline
+
+The platform runs two pipelines, both defined by declarative contracts that
+are the single source of truth for the workflow files.
+
+## CI pipeline
+
+The CI pipeline runs on every push and pull request to `main`. It is defined
+by [`pipelines/ci.yaml`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/pipelines/ci.yaml),
+validated against
+[`schemas/pipeline.schema.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/schemas/pipeline.schema.json).
+Both platform-runner workflow files implement the same contract and are
+byte-identical:
+
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — GitHub Actions (production)
+
+Three stages run in sequence:
+
+1. **lint** — `py_compile` across the platform's Python files.
+2. **test** — `pytest` across the offline test suite.
+3. **check-only** — `run_platform.sh --check-only` (offline, no AWS).
+
+`scripts/run_ci.sh` mirrors the CI pipeline locally so the pipeline is fully
+reproducible from the shell:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_ci.sh           # run all 3 stages
+bash scripts/run_ci.sh --quiet    # suppress per-stage banners
+```
+
+## Deployment pipeline
+
+The deployment pipeline runs when a consumer submits a contract. It is
+defined by [`pipelines/deploy.yaml`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/pipelines/deploy.yaml),
+validated against
+[`schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json).
+It is exposed to consumer repos as a **reusable workflow**:
+
+- `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` — GitHub Actions (production)
+
+A consumer repo invokes the reusable workflow via a **versioned tag**
+(floating MAJOR + MINOR, e.g. `acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.6`).
+The workflow checks out the consumer repo, then checks out the ACDL platform
+repo into the runner workspace, and runs `scripts/run_platform.sh` against
+the consumer's contract. The consumer never clones the platform repo or
+invokes its scripts locally. See the [Consumer Guide](../consumer-guide/)
+for the end-to-end happy path.
+

+    S7["evidence event<br/>to the audit outbox"] --> S8
+    S8["infrastructure apply<br/>(dev only)"]
+```
+
+1. **validate-contract** — validates the contract YAML against the contract
+   schema. Fails fast on missing fields, unknown modules, or wrong types.
+2. **resolve-stack** — the contract resolver resolves the contract to a
+   Target Stack instance (loads the module's pattern, expands its children,
+   wires the contract inputs, emits a stack JSON instance).
+3. **security checks** (adapter) — security checks run on the resolved
+   stack before any infrastructure is planned.
+4. **infrastructure plan** (adapter) — the engine adapter compiles the
+   stack to an infrastructure plan.
+5. **policy checks** (adapter) — policy checks run on the plan. Results are
+   normalized to `PolicyCheckResult` records (severity, rule ID, pass/fail).
+6. **confidence** — the confidence signal computes a score from 6 inputs
+   (policy, validation, freshness, source, history, NFRs). For `dev`, the
+   threshold is ≥ 0.50. If the band is `pass`, the pipeline proceeds.
+7. **evidence event** — a hash-chained evidence event is written to the
+   audit outbox.
+8. **infrastructure apply** (dev only) — the infrastructure plan is applied,
+   creating the resources. An evidence event for the apply is recorded.
+
+Higher environments hold for human attestation (see
+[Environments](../environments/)).
+
+## Output streaming
+
+`scripts/run_platform.sh` streams output by default so the user can see what
+the platform is doing:
+
+- **`--check-only`**: streams the emitted infrastructure file content.
+- **`--plan-only`** and **full mode**: streams the infrastructure plan output.
+- **Full mode**: prints policy-check results with severity, rule ID, and
+  pass/fail status.
+
+A `--quiet` flag suppresses streaming (output to log files only).

+# Versioning
+
+ACDL uses two versioning schemes: one for modules, one for the deploy
+pipeline. Both matter to a consumer.
+
+## Module versioning
+
+Primitives and modules use **semver** with three triggers:
+
+- **interface → MAJOR** — a breaking change to the module's inputs/outputs.
+- **behavior → MINOR** — a backward-compatible behavior change.
+- **lifecycle → PATCH** — a fix or internal change.
+
+A MAJOR bump requires a **new registry entry** (immutable publication); the
+old entry enters a **12-month deprecation window**. A module pins its
+primitives by `name@semver`; the resolver picks the highest compatible.
+
+Module versions are tracked in
+[`registry.json`](https://github.com/acdl/acdl/blob/main/modules/registry.json).
+
+## Deploy-pipeline versioning (the `uses:` tag)
+
+The central deploy pipeline is referenced by a **floating MAJOR + MINOR
+tag** in a consumer's contract and CI definition:
+
+```yaml
+uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
+```
+
+Version constraints cannot be expressed inside the contract, so the tag in
+`uses:` is the only immutability lever a consumer has.
+
+**Unversioned references are discouraged.** Do not use `@main` or a bare
+`acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml` — `main` is constantly updated and can cause
+unexpected failures. Pinning to a MAJOR+MINOR tag means:
+
+- **Immutability** — the pipeline behavior you tested is the behavior you
+  get. Patch fixes flow within the tag; breaking changes land under the
+  next MINOR tag (`@v1.5`), which you opt into explicitly.
+- **Resilience** — your deployment does not break because an unrelated
+  change landed on `main`.
+- **Reproducibility** — your setup is stable. You upgrade on your schedule
+  by bumping the tag.
+
+## When a new tag is released
+
+When a new MINOR tag is released (e.g. `@v1.5`), review its changelog and
+bump your `uses:` reference when ready. The old tag continues to receive
+patch fixes until the next MINOR tag.
+
+## Production-bound references
+
+For production-bound workflows, the platform resolves the current tag to its
+SHA (tag for dev/qa, SHA for prod). This prevents a silent patch from
+changing a production deployment. The platform provides a CLI command for
+the tag → SHA resolution.

+# Presentations
+
+Leadership-facing presentation decks for the ACDL platform.
+
+## The 4-step slide creation process
+
+Every presentation in this folder is produced by the same four-step process.
+**Never edit the Marp deck, the PPTX, or the talking points directly** —
+always start from the full markdown source of truth (Step 1), synthesize the
+Marp deck (Step 2), export to HTML + PPTX (Step 3), then distill the talking
+points (Step 4). This keeps a reviewable, plain-text source of truth for
+every deck and a presenter-ready cue sheet for delivery.
+
+```
+Step 1: full markdown       Step 2: Marp deck           Step 3: HTML + PPTX         Step 4: Talking points
+(source of truth)    ──►    (lean, 10 slides)    ──►    (rendered)           ──►    (presenter cues)

++ speaker notes             + embedded PNG diagrams                                 + 3-6 bullets per slide
++ mermaid code blocks       + Marp frontmatter                                     + key takeaway per slide
+                            + maturity badges                                      + indexed by Marp slide #
+                            + no speaker notes                                     + content distilled from Step 1
+```
+
+### Step 1 — Full markdown (source of truth)
+
+**File convention:** `<deck-name>.md` (e.g. `how-the-platform-works.md`).
+
+Write the complete deck as a standard markdown file. This is the **source of
+truth** — it contains:
+
+- Every slide as an `## Slide N — Title` H2 section.
+- Tight bullets with leadership-relevant content.
+- A `> **Speaker notes:**` block at the end of each slide with the nuance,
+  the "who cares and why," and the honesty caveats.
+- Mermaid diagrams as ```` ```mermaid ```` fenced code blocks (these render
+  on GitHub/Pages but not in Marp — Step 2 converts them to images).
+- An honest "shipped vs. planned" framing: every "available today" claim is
+  grounded in shipped/verified work; every "planned" item is explicitly
+  marked.
+
+**Why this file is the source of truth:** it is reviewable in any markdown
+viewer, diffs cleanly in git, and carries the full reasoning (speaker notes)
+that a presenter needs. The Marp deck and PPTX are *derived artifacts* — if a
+fact is wrong, fix it here and re-run Steps 2 and 3.
+
+### Step 2 — Marp deck synthesis
+
+**File convention:** `<deck-name>-marp.md` (e.g. `how-the-platform-works-marp.md`).
+
+Synthesize the full markdown into a lean Marp deck:
+
+- **Marp frontmatter** at the top: `marp: true`, `theme: default`,
+  `paginate: true`, `size: 16x9`, a header/footer, and an inline `style:`
+  block for fonts, colors, tables, badges.
+- **No speaker notes.** The Marp deck is what the audience sees; the
+  speaker notes live only in the Step 1 source of truth.
+- **Mermaid diagrams → PNG images.** Marp does not render mermaid fenced
+  blocks natively. Extract each mermaid block from Step 1 into a `.mmd`
+  source file under `assets/mmd/`, render it to PNG under `assets/png/`,
+  and embed it with `![w:1000](assets/png/<name>.png)`.
+- **`<!-- _class: title -->` + `<!-- _paginate: false -->`** on title and
+  closing slides for the dark-background title style.
+- **Maturity badges** using inline spans:
+  `<span class="badge testing">Testing</span>`
+  `<span class="badge planned">Planned</span>`
+  `<span class="badge agentic">Agentic</span>`
+- **Tighter prose** than Step 1 — strip the speaker-note nuance; keep the
+  leadership-relevant selling points.
+
+### Step 3 — Render to HTML and PPTX
+
+Both formats are derived from the Marp deck. **HTML is committed to the repo**
+(viewable in any browser, self-contained with base64-embedded images). **PPTX
+is uploaded to the Gitea release** as a downloadable attachment (binary, not
+committed to git).
+
+#### HTML export (committed to repo)
+
+```bash
+CHROME_PATH=/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome \
+  npx --yes @marp-team/marp-cli@latest --allow-local-files \
+  docs/presentations/<deck-name>-marp.md \
+  -o docs/presentations/<deck-name>.html
+```
+
+HTML export inlines images as base64 data URIs — no `--allow-local-files`
+needed for self-contained output, but it's required when the Marp deck
+references local PNG assets. The resulting HTML is a single self-contained
+file that renders the full deck with the S&P Global Energy theme.
+
+**Re-render the HTML whenever the Marp source changes.** The HTML files are
+committed artifacts, not generated on-the-fly — they must be re-rendered and
+re-committed when the Marp deck is updated.
+
+#### PPTX export (uploaded to Gitea release)
+
+```bash
+CHROME_PATH=/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome \
+  npx --yes @marp-team/marp-cli@latest --allow-local-files \
+  docs/presentations/<deck-name>-marp.md \
+  -o <output-path>.pptx
+```
+
+The `--allow-local-files` flag is **required** for PPTX export so the local
+PNG diagrams are embedded in the file. PPTX files are not committed to the
+repo (binary, no meaningful diffs) — they are uploaded to the Gitea release
+as downloadable attachments.
+
+### Step 4 — Talking points (presenter cues)
+
+**File convention:** `<deck-name>-talking-points.md` (e.g.
+`how-the-platform-works-talking-points.md`).
+
+Distill the source of truth (Step 1) into presenter-ready cues, indexed by
+the Marp deck (Step 2) slide structure:
+
+- **One section per Marp slide** — `## Slide N — Title`, matching the Marp
+  deck's 10 main + 6 appendix slide structure exactly. The Marp deck
+  provides the indexing and context (what the audience sees); the source
+  markdown provides the content (the speaker notes, the detail, the nuance).
+- **3-6 talking point bullets per slide** — punchy, actionable cues distilled
+  from the source markdown's speaker notes. NOT the speaker notes verbatim
+  (those are too long and too contextual). These are prompts: "Land this
+  point," "Contrast with X," "Be honest about Y."
+- **Key takeaway per slide** — the one memorable thing the audience should
+  walk away with from that slide.
+- **No content duplication** — the talking points reference the Marp slides
+  for visual context and the source markdown for full detail. They don't
+  repeat either; they bridge them.
+
+**Why this file exists:** a presenter needs a cue sheet they can glance at
+during delivery — not the full speaker notes (too long), not the Marp slides
+(no detail). The talking points file is the middle layer: what to say, in
+what order, with what emphasis, per slide.
+
+**When to update:** re-distill the talking points whenever the Marp deck
+structure changes (slides added, removed, merged, or re-ordered) or whenever
+the source markdown's speaker notes are updated. The talking points are a
+*derived artifact* — if a fact is wrong, fix it in the source markdown (Step 1)
+and re-distill.

+
+## Conventions
+
+### Appendix structure
+
+Each Marp deck has **10 main slides + 6 appendix slides** (16 total). The
+main 10 are the presentation; the appendix is for deep dives and Q&A backup.
+
+- **Main slides** (1-10): the story arc, high-impact, minimal text,
+  visual-heavy. These are what the audience sees during the talk.
+- **Appendix slides** (A1-A5 + TOC): detail-heavy slides moved out of the
+  main 10 to preserve the narrative flow. The appendix starts with a TOC
+  slide listing the contents, followed by detail slides and a glossary.
+- **The Road to the North Star** is a required appendix slide in both decks
+  — a phased timeline from v1.0 demo to the North Star, annotated as
+  "proposed phasing, not formally planned."
+- **The Glossary** is a required appendix slide in both decks — defines
+  acronyms (OIDC, ABAC, CMK, CMDB, RPO, HITL, VCS, NFR) for the audience.
+
+### Maturity framing
+
+Every capability claim in a deck is tagged with one of three badges:
+
+| Badge | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `Testing` | Works internally, not yet released to consumers (0 adoption) |
+| `Planned` | On the roadmap, not yet implemented |
+| `Agentic` | Involves AI agents, autonomous decision-making, or the citizen developer flow |
+
+This is non-negotiable for a leadership audience: never present a roadmap
+item as a current capability, and never bury a tested capability's
+availability. When in doubt, check `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` and the milestone
+status in `.ciagent/PROJECT.md`.
+
+### Audience
+
+The audience for these decks is **Senior Leadership**: CTO, Head of Cloud,
+Head of Infrastructure, Head of DevOps. The framing rules:
+
+- **No jargon.** Translate internal terms: "primitives/modules" not "L1/L2",
+  "intent" not "IR", "human attestation" not "HITL", "pattern" not
+  "composition."
+- **Selling points forward.** Each slide leads with the leadership-relevant
+  outcome; the mechanism follows.
+- **Zero-trust, security, observability, auditability, DX, citizen
+  developer** are the themes — not implementation details.
+
+### Diagrams
+
+Mermaid diagrams in the Step 1 source use the repo's existing `flowchart`
+style (renders on GitHub/Pages). For the Marp deck (Step 2):
+
+1. Extract the mermaid block into `assets/mmd/<deck>-<slide>-<name>.mmd`.
+2. Use **horizontal layouts** (`flowchart LR`) or **subgraph row-wrapping**
+   for wide diagrams so the PNG fits a 16:9 slide without shrinking to
+   illegibility. A 9-node sequential `flowchart TD` renders as a tall thin
+   strip — restructure it as 2-row subgraphs or `flowchart LR`.
+3. Render with a 2x scale factor and transparent background for crisp slides.
+4. Embed with `![w:1000](assets/png/<name>.png)` (or `h:320` for tall images).
+
+## Build commands
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js + npx (for `@marp-team/marp-cli` and `@mermaid-js/mermaid-cli`)
+- A Chrome/Chromium binary (Marp PPTX export requires it)
+
+This environment has a working Chromium at:
+`/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome`
+
+### Render all mermaid diagrams to PNG
+
+```bash
+cd docs/presentations/assets
+for f in mmd/*.mmd; do
+  name=$(basename "$f" .mmd)
+  PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome \
+    npx --yes @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli@latest \
+    -i "$f" -o "png/$name.png" \
+    -p puppeteer-config.json -s 2 -b transparent
+done
+```
+
+The `puppeteer-config.json` passes `--no-sandbox` to the headless browser
+(required when running as root in this environment).
+
+### Export a Marp deck to HTML (committed to repo)
+
+```bash
+CHROME_PATH=/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome \
+  npx --yes @marp-team/marp-cli@latest --allow-local-files \
+  docs/presentations/<deck-name>-marp.md \
+  -o docs/presentations/<deck-name>.html
+```
+
+HTML export inlines images as base64 data URIs. The `--allow-local-files`
+flag is needed when the Marp deck references local PNG assets (like the
+diagram images in `assets/png/`). The resulting HTML is self-contained.
+
+**The HTML files are committed artifacts** — re-render and re-commit whenever
+the Marp source changes.
+
+### Export a Marp deck to PPTX (uploaded to Gitea release)
+
+```bash
+CHROME_PATH=/root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1217/chrome-linux64/chrome \
+  npx --yes @marp-team/marp-cli@latest --allow-local-files \
+  docs/presentations/<deck-name>-marp.md \
+  -o <output-path>.pptx
+```
+
+`--allow-local-files` is **required** for PPTX so local PNG diagrams are
+embedded in the file. PPTX files are not committed to git — upload them as
+attachments to the Gitea release.
+
+## Adding a new presentation
+
+1. **Write the full markdown** as `<deck-name>.md` following the
+   `## Slide N — Title` + `> **Speaker notes:**` structure. This is the
+   source of truth.
+2. **Extract any mermaid diagrams** into `assets/mmd/<deck-name>-<slide>-<name>.mmd`
+   and render them to `assets/png/` (command above).
+3. **Synthesize the Marp deck** as `<deck-name>-marp.md` with frontmatter,
+   no speaker notes, embedded PNGs, and maturity badges.
+4. **Render to HTML** with `--allow-local-files` and commit the HTML to
+   `docs/presentations/<deck-name>.html`.
+5. **Render to PPTX** with `--allow-local-files` and upload to the Gitea
+   release (do not commit PPTX to git).
+6. **Distill the talking points** as `<deck-name>-talking-points.md` — one
+   section per Marp slide, 3-6 talking point bullets + key takeaway, content
+   distilled from the source markdown (Step 1), indexed by the Marp deck
+   (Step 2) slide structure.
+7. **Verify** the PPTX slide count and that media files are embedded:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -c "
+   import zipfile, re
+   with zipfile.ZipFile('<output>.pptx') as z:
+       slides = [n for n in z.namelist() if re.match(r'ppt/slides/slide\d+\.xml$', n)]
+       media = [n for n in z.namelist() if n.startswith('ppt/media/')]
+       print(f'{len(slides)} slides, {len(media)} media files')
+   "
+   ```
+
+## Current decks
+
