docs(P00): incorporate grill binding mitigations G-104/G-106/G-108

GRILL (ci-griller): 9 axes, 8 findings G-103..G-110, verdict
proceed-with-conditions (conf 0.82). 3 binding mitigations incorporated:
- G-104 (scope/technical, conf 0.90): re-tag Major milestone on its OWN
  minor line (v1.15.x), not the v1.14.x patch line (NFR convention).
  Precedent: v1.10.2→v1.11.0, v1.9.x→v1.10.0. Updated PLAN/ROADMAP/
  PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS/ARCHITECTURE tag refs: v1.15.0(P0)→v1.15.4(P5).
- G-106 (risk/technical, conf 0.88): .env.secrets direct-read paths
  (run_platform.sh:288-289 + regression_verify.py:309-312) bypass the
  core/env.py helper — P2 MUST dual-read these (NOVA_* first, ACDL_*
  fallback) or AWS creds vanish mid-rename. Bound in PLAN.md P2 task 2.
- G-108 (security, conf 0.80): CI workflow secrets: refs (deploy.yml +
  modules-lifecycle.yml, .gitea + .github) reference secrets.ACDL_* —
  P2 MUST update to secrets.NOVA_* in lockstep with Gitea secret
  creation. Bound in PLAN.md P2 task 3 (hard gate). 5 accepted-as-is
  findings (G-103/105/107/109/110), 0 open escalations.

+## v1.11 Addendum — Stateless Adapter + Pipeline-Driven Lifecycle Testing
+
+**Stateless adapter (D-098).** `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` rewritten
+from a 918-line monolith (3 constant tables `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP`/
+`OUTPUT_MAP`, 39 type-specific branches) to a ~80-line stateless assembler.
+Each L1 module ships a real `terraform/` module dir
+(`versions.tf`/`variables.tf`/`locals.tf`/`main.tf`/`outputs.tf`) owning
+its resource shape, nested blocks, and defaults. The adapter reads the
+registry, emits a root `main.tf` instantiating each L1 as
+`module "x" { source = "..." }` with resolved inputs and wired refs.
+
+**Terraform owns lifecycle (D-101).** `scripts/run_platform.sh` gains
+`--apply` and `--destroy` modes. Python never runs terraform.
+`scripts/verify_deploy_microservice.py` is deleted.
+
+**Pipeline-driven testing (D-102).** A `modules-lifecycle` pipeline
+(Gitea + GitHub, byte-identical) matrix-runs each L1 module's
+`examples/{simple,complex}.yml` contracts through apply→modify→destroy
+against live AWS. No per-module Python/pytest. The "test" = the pipeline
+cell going green.
+
+**Single platform VPC (D-105).** `terraform/platform/main.tf` owns ONE
+VPC; the microservice composition references it via
+`terraform_remote_state` (data source). State keys are deterministic and
+env-aware (`spike/{contract.id}/{contract.environment}/terraform.tfstate`).
+
+**ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE (v1.12, REQ-134).** The lifecycle pipeline defaults
+to plan-only (fast, no AWS mutation, no cost). A CI variable
+`ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE` (default `plan`) overrides to `full` for the real
+apply→modify→destroy.
+
+## v1.12 Addendum — Presentation Refinement + CAP-013 Fix
+
+**CAP-013 adapter dedup fix (REQ-129).** Multi-resource L1s (ecs-service,
+alb) with stack outputs + cross-module refs now dedup to ONE module block
+named by the composition child id, with expanded sub-ids rewritten via
+`id_remap`. `terraform validate` succeeds for the microservice stack.
+
+**CAP-017/018 probe fixes (REQ-130).** CAP-017's probe no longer requires
+`locals.tf` for modules that legitimately omit it. CAP-018's probe
+instantiates `LocalLambdaStub` with the required `outbox` arg.
+
+## v1.13 Addendum — Presentation Polish + Config Schema Migration
+
+**Config.json schema migration (v1.13.1).** Regenerated
+`.ciagent/config.json` to the updated CIAgent v2 config structure (drop
+removed fields, migrate `gitea`→`release.gitea`, add
+`secrets`/`ship`/`backend`/`ideation`/`personas`/`logging`/`telemetry`
+sections).
+
+**Presentation polish (v1.13.0, v1.13.2).** Action headlines, story-arc
+restructure, larger fonts, 6 new mermaid diagrams, badge cleanup,
+platform-architecture diagram. Docs-only NFR patches.
+
+## v1.14 Addendum — NFR Refinement (bug fixes, security, stubs, tests, docs)
+
+**Bug fixes (Wave 1, P1-P6).** Adapter dedup rejects unregistered modules
+with ValueError (P1). Static-assets composition wires cloudfront inputs
+(P2). L2 lifecycle scripts document remote-state design (P3). Regression
+gate adds `terraform fmt -check` syntax probe (P4). Adapter dedup-merge +
+remote-state-key unit tests (P5). ALB target group name_prefix derives
+from var.name (P6).
+
+**Security (Wave 2, P7-P12).** 6 swallowed-error sites narrowed to
+specific exceptions (P7). Account ID externalized to
+`ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` env (P8). IAM policy scoped to `acdl-*` ARNs (P9).
+Contract ingestor validates contractId/environment/error (P10). Environment
+schema adds `additionalProperties: false` + format validation (P11).
+`.gitignore` credential-pattern catch-all (P12).
+
+**Stub/test/CI/hygiene (Wave 3, P13-P17).** Kyverno `--kube-version` flag
+removed (P13, G-103). Orphan artifacts + dead config cleaned (P14). 7
+untested scripts gain test coverage (P15). Gitea workflow parity
+documented + script `set` flags fixed (P16). Config.json persona +
+branching strategy + ollama-cloud aligned (P17).
+
+**Standards/docs/VPC (Wave 4, P18-P20).** STANDARDS.md reconciled (P18).
+Documentation synced: ARCHITECTURE.md addenda, stale `@v1.6-1.9` → `@v1.13`,
+GRILL G-005/G-008 resolved, COST.md window extended, D-083 deferral
+recorded (P19). Platform VPC CIDR parameterized + data-driven subnet
+count (P20).
+
+**D-083 deferral (explicit).** The audit ledger build-out (S3 Object Lock
++ JWS detached signatures + SQS DLQ + async worker + daily checkpoints)
+remains deferred (D-096, v1.14). The hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox is the
+v1.14 audit record. JWS per-event authenticity is not implemented; a
+forged event is only detectable by re-reading the whole chain. The
+deferral is documented here explicitly per the v1.14 grill (E-001).

+## v1.15 Addendum — Nova Rebrand (Major/breaking, 2026-07-30)
+
+**Milestone:** v1.15-Nova. A full rebrand from **ACDL** / "Agentic Cloud
+Delivery Platform" → **Nova** / "The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security
+as a seamless enabler of fast deployments." This is a **Major
+milestone** (breaking): consumer-facing path, env var prefixes, SSM
+path, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names all change. Per the
+branch-strategy precedent (breaking/feature milestones tag on their
+OWN minor line), v1.15 tags run on the **v1.15.x minor line**:
+`v1.15.0` (P0) → `v1.15.4` (P5 final = release). (G-104 binding.)

+### Unchanged conventions (out of scope)
+
+- **S&P Global Energy visual theme** (`sp-theme.json`, deck CSS: #D6002A
+  red, Akkurat Pro) — client branding, not the Nova product brand (D-107).
+- **config.json `release.gitea.repo`** = `acdl` — real Gitea repo name
+  unchanged (D-105). Doc URLs updated to `nova` for prose only.
+- **Git branch/tag naming** — `milestone/v*`, `phase/*`, `v*` semver; no
+  brand name present (D-112: flat-branch convention preserved).
+- **Past Gitea release titles** — existing releases keep `ACDL vX.Y.Z`.
+
+### Migration ordering (binding)
+
+1. **P1** docs/decks/prose — no runtime impact; ships consumer migration
+   guide announcing the 5 breaking changes.
+2. **P2** code + env vars (dual-read) + consumer path — deployments don't
+   break during the transition window (dual-read fallback).
+3. **P3** SSM path (copy → read → delete) + tag keys (parallel-tag →
+   policy swap → remove old).
+4. **P4** AWS resource names — staged terraform migration (KMS alias,
+   SNS/SG/Lambda recreate, DynamoDB scan+copy, ECR re-push, IAM
+   re-bootstrap, state bucket `-migrate-state`, ALB recreate). Maintenance
+   window + rollback runbook (`docs/NOVA_AWS_MIGRATION.md`).
+5. **P5** final review + audit + remove dual-read fallback + milestone ship.
+
+### Capability gate (binding)
+
+The regression gate (CAP-001..CAP-016, `scripts/run_regression.sh`) must
+stay **16/16 Verified** throughout the rebrand. P2/P3/P4 update test
+fixtures that reference `ACDL`/`acdl` so the gate stays green. No
+capability is added, removed, or reclassified in v1.15 — the rebrand is
+nomenclature + identifiers, not behavior.

+- **Phase 0 stages:** specify → clarify → research → ideate → plan →
+  grill → complete (6 stage commits + 1 ship commit).
+- **Phases 1–20:** each has an execute commit (on phase/NN branch) + a
+  complete commit (squash-merged into milestone/v1.14-refinement). All
+  20 `---ci---` blocks present with `project: acdl`, `phase: N`,
+  `milestone: v1.14`, `status: complete`.
+- **Phase 21:** complete commit with `status: complete` + requirements
+  covered array.
+- **Decisions:** D-095..D-101 all present in git log + `.ciagent/` files.
+- **Grill binding decisions:** G-101..G-106 in GRILL.md + PLAN.md.

+- `config.json`: valid JSON; `active_milestone: v1.14`, `active_project:
+  acdl`, `projects[]` length 1. **PASS.**
+- `PROJECT.md`: all required sections present (Objective v1.14, Key

+## Step 3: Branch Hygiene — PASS (with note)
+
+- **v1.14 phase branches:** phase/00–phase/21 all present locally. All
+  squash-merged into milestone/v1.14-refinement (the squash strategy
+  does not preserve ancestry for `--is-ancestor` checks, but the content
+  is verified present on main via the milestone merge commit `3b1181f`).
+- **Milestone branch:** milestone/v1.14-refinement present, squash-merged
+  into main.
+- **Prior milestone branches:** milestone/v1.11-restart,
+  milestone/v1.12-presentation, milestone/v1.13-deck-polish remain
+  locally (not pruned). These are historical and harmless.
+- **Prior abandoned phase branches:** phase/56-iam-re-bootstrap,
+  phase/57-live-deploy-microservice (v1.11 first attempt, abandoned per
+  D-097). These have `---ci---` commits (not orphans) but are superseded.
+  Not a defect — documented in ROADMAP.md v1.11 RESTART section.
+- **Remote:** origin/main + origin/milestone/v1.14-refinement present.
+  No orphan remote branches.
+
+**Branch hygiene: PASS** — all v1.14 branches served their purpose; the
+content is on main.
+
+## Step 4: Commit Discipline — PASS
+
+- **v1.14 commits with `---ci---` blocks:** 22/22 phase commits (phase 0
+  ship + phases 1–20 complete + phase 21 complete) have `---ci---` blocks
+  with `project: acdl`, `phase: N`, `milestone: v1.14`, `status:`. The
+  1 milestone merge commit (`91338f7`) lacks a `---ci---` block — it is
+  a squash-merge summary commit, not a phase commit. Acceptable.
+- **Stale decisions:** D-095..D-101 all have code/doc refs (D-095/D-096/
+  D-097/D-099 are process/meta decisions in PROJECT.md; D-098 is the
+  wave ordering in PLAN.md; D-100/D-101 are ideation/escalation decisions
+  in PROJECT.md). No stale decisions.
+- **Unresolved escalations:** E-001 auto-resolved (D-101,
+  `resolution: auto`, `type: risk_accepted`). No unresolved v1.14
+  escalations. The pre-v1.14 `resolution: user provided` match is from
+  the v1.1 bootstrap, not v1.14.
+
+**Commit discipline: PASS.**
+
+## Step 5: Audit Checks — PASS
+
+1. **HEAD not on main when branches exist:** HEAD is on main (milestone
+   complete; no active phase work). OK — post-milestone state.
+2. **CHECKPOINT.json exists:** EXISTS.
+3. **CHECKPOINT.json consistent with git status:** checkpoint phase=21,
+   stage=complete, milestone=v1.14, milestone_complete=true. Matches
+   latest `---ci---` block (da533a8: phase=21, status=complete). **MATCH.**
+4. **Report template exists:** EXISTS.

+   escalations.
+6. **Milestone version in config:** `active_milestone: v1.14`. Consistent
+   with the milestone branch + checkpoint + git log. **MATCH.**
+
+**Additional checks:**
+- **Stale version refs:** `grep -rn "@v1\.[6-9]" docs/ README.md` → 0
+  hits (bumped to @v1.13 in P19). **PASS.**
+- **Test suite:** 561 passed, 5 deselected. **PASS.**
+- **Regression gate:** 22/22 capabilities Verified (run at P21). **PASS.**

 ### Escalations
 - **[G-005] risks** — 6 cloud capabilities (CAP-017..022: DynamoDB contracts table, Lambda contract-ingestor, ECS service live, CloudFront production stack, uptime-kuma, OIDC role) are deploy-unverified. The `acdl-spike-runner` IAM user cannot fix its own IAM (chicken-and-egg). Either re-bootstrap IAM with an admin principal to re-verify, or explicitly mark these 6 as "design-verified, deploy-unverified" in every leadership deck before the pitch.

 - **[G-008] budget** — No cost documentation exists in `.ciagent/` despite live AWS resources (account 581513795199, CAP-013..016 verified). Either add a `COST.md` documenting monthly AWS spend, or explicitly document that ACDL runs at zero cloud cost (local emulators are the primary tier; live-AWS is a one-off spike per milestone).

+close plan defects + unverified assumptions that would otherwise re-expose

+
+### Binding Decisions
+
+| ID | Axis | Decision | Confidence |
+|----|------|----------|-----------|
+| G-101 | architecture | P8 grep scope amended to exclude terraform `backend "s3"` blocks (bucket arg is static-config-only, evaluated pre-init; cannot reference `data.aws_caller_identity`). Resource ARNs in policy/code ARE externalized; backend blocks stay literal or move to `-backend-config` (separate change). | 0.80 |
+| G-102 | risks | P8 must bind `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` fallback to the live account ID (not a placeholder) AND the lifecycle workflow (full-mode jobs) must set `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` from `aws sts get-caller-identity` before any lifecycle invocation. No full-mode run proceeds with the env unset. | 0.78 |
+| G-103 | scope | P13 must take the removal+documentation path (remove `--kube-version` + document deferral to GitOps reconciler roadmap), NOT the implementation path. Implementing version-aware policy selection is a new feature, violating D-095. | 0.85 |
+| G-104 | architecture | P9 must verify (grep/audit of `modules/l1/*/terraform/main.tf` + `modules/l2/*/composition.json`) that every IAM role + KMS key created by the lifecycle pipeline matches `acdl-*` prefix before merge. CloudFront + WAFv2 (CloudFront scope) remain `Resource: "*"` with a documented global-ARN constraint. | 0.70 |
+| G-105 | governance | P4's regression-gate hardening must be validated by running the full regression gate immediately after P4 lands (not deferred to P21). Gate must pass clean post-P4 before W2 begins. | 0.70 |
+| G-106 | governance | A mid-milestone regression-gate checkpoint is added after W2 (P12), before W3 begins. Gate runs offline (D-091); a non-Verified result halts W3 until fixed. Not a re-litigation of G-007 (per-phase stays deferred) — a single checkpoint at the natural seam after the security wave. | 0.65 |
+
+### Escalations
+
+- **[E-001] risks** — P8 state-bucket continuity re-exposes the v1.11 4-VPC

+## Run: 2026-07-30 (mode: interactive, focus: v1.15-Nova rebrand, all 9 axes)
+
+### Verdict: Proceed with conditions  (confidence: 0.82)
+
+A Major/breaking rebrand (ACDL → Nova) across prose, decks, code, env vars,
+consumer path, SSM path, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names — 4 execution
+phases + 1 final. The plan is technically sound and the scope is user-directed
+(D-102..D-112). Three binding mitigations surfaced (G-104, G-106, G-108); the
+rest accept the plan as written. Two findings carry residual risk that is
+accepted at full autonomy (G-103, G-107). No escalations remain open — all
+auto-resolved with assumption logging per `config.autonomy.level=full`.
+
+The single most material correction: **the versioning scheme was wrong**.
+The plan tagged a Major/breaking milestone on the v1.14.x PATCH line
+(`v1.14.5` = release), contradicting every prior breaking milestone in the
+project (v1.1→v1.2.0, v1.5→v1.5.0, v1.11→v1.11.0 — all minor bumps). The
+quoted "Major = progressive minor per phase" rule does not exist in any repo
+file. **G-104 binds: re-tag as v1.15.x minor-bumped phases** (P1→v1.15.0 …
+P5→v1.15.4, with v1.15.4 IS the milestone release).
+
+### Per-axis findings
+
+#### Axis 1 — Feasibility
+**Challenge:** Can the full rebrand (1,465 `ACDL`/`acdl` occurrences across 205
+files, 21 env vars, 11 AWS resources, 5 tag keys, 67 SSM refs, 23 consumer-path
+refs) actually be done in 4 execution phases? The migration ordering
+(docs→code/env→SSM/tags→AWS resources→final) is sound: P1 has no runtime impact,
+P2's dual-read fallback prevents deployment breakage, P3's parallel-tag period
+prevents ABAC lockout, P4's staged terraform migration prevents a big-bang
+failure. The phase dependencies (P2 depends on P1's migration guide; P3 depends
+on P2's dual-read + nova_tagging warn mode; P4 depends on P3's hard-mode tag
+enforcement; P5 depends on all) are correctly ordered. **Confidence 0.85** that
+the 4-phase structure is feasible. The `terraform init -migrate-state` approach
+for the state bucket is the documented, correct mechanism (back up state JSON
+first). No hidden dependencies found: the `.env.secrets` direct-read path
+(G-106) and the Gitea secrets rotation (G-108) are the only mechanic gaps, both
+now bound. **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-103.**
+
+#### Axis 2 — Scope
+**Challenge:** Is the full AWS resource rename WITH migration (downtime
+accepted) over-scoped for a rebrand? D-102 locked this as user-directed. The
+alternative (rename code only, leave AWS resources as `acdl-*`) would leave a
+permanent brand inconsistency between code and cloud — acceptable for an NFR
+patch, not for a "Major/breaking" milestone. The S&P visual theme is correctly
+out of scope (D-107). The real Gitea repo name stays `acdl` (D-105) — sensible
+(repo rename is a separate operational burden). Past Gitea release titles stay
+`ACDL vX.Y.Z` (forward-only) — sensible (no history rewrite). Git branch/tag
+naming has no brand name (D-112) — sensible. **Missing from scope:** the CI
+workflow secret-references (`.gitea/workflows/*` `secrets.ACDL_*`) — P2 task 3
+creates `NOVA_*` Gitea secrets but the plan does not show the workflow YAML
+`secrets:` references being updated; G-108 binds the mitigation. **Confidence
+0.80.** **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-104** (versioning — see Axis 5).
+
+#### Axis 3 — Cost
+**Challenge:** What's the real cost (downtime, person-hours, risk) and is it
+justified for a *rebrand*? Per A1 (conf 0.9), no live AWS apply during P0–P4 —
+so the migration scripts are authored but not executed; the live apply is an
+operator runbook step. Person-hours are the agent's own (autonomous OSS
+reference, G-003 carries forward). Downtime is accepted (D-102) but deferred to
+the operator runbook. Token cost: the 1,465-occurrence rename across 205 files
+is a large but mechanical edit — the explore survey already quantified the
+mechanical-vs-judgment split. The risk cost (DynamoDB data loss, state bucket
+corruption, ABAC lockout) is mitigated by the staged ordering + dual-read +
+parallel-tag — all plan-validated, not live-applied. For an OSS reference with
+0 consumer adoption (PROJECT.md:487), the cost is bounded. **Confidence 0.80.**
+**Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-105.**
+
+#### Axis 4 — Schedule / risk
+**Challenge:** DynamoDB data loss, state bucket migration, ABAC breakage,
+consumer disruption. The mitigations: (a) DynamoDB scan+copy with row-count
+verification, keep old tables until verified (manual post-verification deletion
+— point of no return documented); (b) state bucket `terraform init
+-migrate-state` with state JSON backup first; (c) parallel-tag ABAC period
+(emit nova:* + acdl:* → swap policy → remove acdl:*); (d) consumer disruption
+mitigated by the dual-read fallback (P2–P4) + the migration guide (P1). The top
+3 assumptions: A1 (no live apply — conf 0.9, verified by the established
+v1.11–v1.14 pattern), A2 (.env.secrets keys renamed, values stay — conf 0.85,
+now bound by G-106), A3 (Gitea release API reachable — conf 0.8, verified HTTP
+200). The single risk that could kill the project: state bucket corruption
+during `-migrate-state` — mitigated by the backup-first runbook step. No
+pre-mortem beyond the runbook is documented, but the staged ordering IS the
+de-facto pre-mortem mitigation. **Confidence 0.78.** **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.**
+**G-106.**
+
+#### Axis 5 — Technical soundness
+**Challenge:** Is the dual-read fallback design sound? Is the parallel-tag ABAC
+migration safe? Is `terraform init -migrate-state` correct? **Dual-read:**
+sound in principle (NOVA_X preferred, ACDL_X fallback), BUT the `.env.secrets`
+load path bypasses the `core/env.py` helper — `run_platform.sh:288-289` exports
+`$ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` (hardcoded) and `regression_verify.py:309-312`
+parses the file matching `k == "ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"` (hardcoded). If P2
+renames the `.env.secrets` keys to `NOVA_*` but these two readers still read
+`ACDL_*`, AWS creds vanish → CAP-013/014/015 (which need live creds for
+terraform plan) break → regression gate breaks. **G-106 binds: dual-read in
+BOTH load paths** (shell export + Python parser must read NOVA_* first, ACDL_*
+fallback, mirroring the helper contract). **Parallel-tag ABAC:** safe — emit
+both tag sets, swap policy with acdl:* as secondary condition, verify, remove.
+Plan-validated only per A1 (live ABAC stays acdl:* until operator runbook).
+**`terraform init -migrate-state`:** correct documented mechanism; backup state
+JSON first is the binding safety step. **Versioning contradiction:** the plan
+tags a Major milestone on the v1.14.x PATCH line — G-104 binds re-tag as
+v1.15.x minor-bumped. **Confidence 0.85.** **Verdict: MITIGATE-BINDING (G-106).**
+**G-104, G-106.**
+
+#### Axis 6 — Testability / verifiability
+**Challenge:** Can the success criteria actually be verified? Will the
+regression gate stay 16/16 across a 1,465-occurrence rename? Is `grep -rni ACDL`
+returning 0 realistic? The gate-stays-16/16 binding constraint (PLAN.md:44-49)
+requires per-phase fixture updates — P2 updates env-var fixtures, P3 updates
+SSM/tag fixtures, P4 updates terraform-name fixtures. The dual-read fallback
+test (P2) keeps ACDL_* as the fallback source — this is the ONE allowed
+exception to the grep-returns-0 criterion (success criterion 6 exempts it).
+`mmdc` (mermaid CLI) is NOT on PATH, but `npx --yes @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli` IS
+available (verified exit 0) and the deck README documents the render command
+(line 270) with `puppeteer-config.json` for no-sandbox — so the 5 `.mmd` PNG
+re-exports in P1 task 3 are feasible. The Gitea secrets rotation (P2 task 3)
+was verified: API reachable (HTTP 200), token present, `rotate_spike_key.sh`
+pattern exists. **Confidence 0.82.** **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-107.**
+
+#### Axis 7 — Security
+**Challenge:** Does the rebrand introduce a security regression? (a) ABAC
+policy swap window — mitigated by the parallel-tag period (nova:* + acdl:*
+both valid → swap → remove); plan-validated only, no live window during P0–P4.
+(b) Secret rotation — `.env.secrets` keys renamed (values stay, no
+re-rotation needed until P5); G-106 binds the dual-read in both load paths so
+creds don't silently vanish. (c) `.env.secrets` key rename — the file contains
+live rotated AWS creds + a Gitea token; renaming keys is cosmetic (same values)
+but the load-path readers must follow (G-106). (d) IAM policy scope (v1.14 P9
+scoped `Resource: "*"`) — the rebrand renames `acdl-*` ARNs to `nova-*` in
+terraform; the IAM policy `Resource` patterns must be updated to `nova-*` —
+P4 task 2 covers this (`acdl-spike-runner` → `nova-spike-runner`). No new
+security regression introduced; the rebrand is nomenclature, not a permission
+change. **Confidence 0.80.** **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-108.**
+
+#### Axis 8 — Maintainability
+**Challenge:** Will the dual-read fallback + parallel-tag period create
+technical debt that's hard to clean up? Is P5 (remove fallback) realistic? The
+dual-read (P2) + parallel-tag (P3) IS technical debt by design — it exists to
+be removed in P5. P5 does six things in one phase (remove fallback, hard-fail
+acdl:*, delete Gitea ACDL_* secrets, remove .env.secrets legacy comment,
+multi-persona review + audit, milestone ship). The risk: P5's removal surfaces
+a break if P2–P4 didn't catch every ACDL_* reference in the platform's OWN CI
+workflows. But P5 is mechanical cleanup: `get_env()` drops the fallback branch,
+shell scripts drop `:-$ACDL_X`, `nova_tagging.py` flips warn→hard-fail. The
+grep-returns-0 success criteria are verifiable. The 0-consumer-adoption state
+(PROJECT.md:487) means no external consumer breaks at P5; only the platform's
+own CI must be fully migrated by P4. **Confidence 0.78.** **Verdict:
+ACCEPT-AS-IS.** **G-109.**
+
+#### Axis 9 — Adversarial
+**Challenge:** Worst-case scenario? What breaks first? Rollback plan if P4
+goes wrong mid-flight? **Worst case:** the `terraform init -migrate-state`
+corrupts the state bucket JSON and the backup was incomplete — you lose
+terraform state for the microservice + static-assets stacks. **Mitigation:**
+the runbook binds "back up the state JSON first" before each `-migrate-state`;
+keep old DynamoDB tables until verified (manual post-verification deletion =
+the point of no return). The staged ordering (KMS alias → SNS/SG → Lambda →
+DynamoDB → ECR → IAM → state bucket → ALB last) means a mid-flight failure at
+any step leaves prior steps intact and old resources still named `acdl-*`. The
+dual-read fallback (P2–P4) means the runtime tolerates both `acdl-*` and
+`nova-*` during the window — so a partial migration doesn't break the running
+platform. **What breaks first:** the `.env.secrets` load path (G-106) — if the
+key rename + reader update are misaligned, AWS creds vanish and the regression
+gate breaks immediately. G-106 binds the mitigation. **Rollback:** the runbook
+is the rollback; the staged ordering with "keep old until verified" is the
+safety net. ALB recreate (last, brief downtime) is the only hard-downtime step;
+rollback = recreate the old ALB. **Confidence 0.75.** **Verdict: ACCEPT-AS-IS.**
+**G-110.**
+
+### Binding decisions (G-103..G-110)
+
+| ID | Axis | Decision | Confidence | Rationale |
+|----|------|----------|-----------|-----------|
+| G-103 | 1 (Feasibility) | ACCEPT-AS-IS | 0.85 | 4-phase structure is feasible; migration ordering (docs→code/env→SSM/tags→AWS→final) is sound; phase dependencies correctly ordered; `terraform init -migrate-state` is the correct mechanism. |
+| G-104 | 2/5 (Scope/Technical) | MITIGATE-BINDING | 0.90 | **Re-tag as v1.15.x minor-bumped phases** (P1→v1.15.0 … P5→v1.15.4, v1.15.4 IS the milestone release). The v1.14.x PATCH-line scheme contradicts every prior breaking milestone (v1.1→v1.2.0, v1.5→v1.5.0, v1.11→v1.11.0). The quoted "Major = progressive minor per phase" rule exists in NO repo file. A Major/breaking milestone shipping as v1.14.5 means the semver MAJOR never advances despite a breaking change — consumers on `@v1` silently absorb the rebrand. Update PLAN.md, ROADMAP.md §v1.15, PROJECT.md §v1.15, and ARCHITECTURE.md §v1.15 Addendum tag references. |
+| G-105 | 3 (Cost) | ACCEPT-AS-IS | 0.80 | No live AWS apply during P0–P4 (A1); migration scripts authored, not executed; downtime accepted (D-102) but deferred to operator runbook. For an OSS reference with 0 consumer adoption, cost is bounded. |
+| G-106 | 4/5 (Risk/Technical) | MITIGATE-BINDING | 0.88 | **Dual-read in BOTH `.env.secrets` load paths.** `run_platform.sh:288-289` (`export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="$ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"`) and `regression_verify.py:309-312` (parses file matching `k == "ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"`) bypass the new `core/env.py get_env()` helper. P2 MUST update both readers to read `NOVA_*` first with `ACDL_*` fallback — mirroring the dual-read contract. Without this, renaming `.env.secrets` keys to `NOVA_*` breaks AWS creds → CAP-013/014/015 fail → regression gate breaks. Old `ACDL_*` keys removed in P5. |
+| G-107 | 6 (Testability) | ACCEPT-AS-IS | 0.82 | Per-phase fixture updates keep the gate 16/16 (PLAN.md:44-49 binding constraint). `npx --yes @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli` is available (verified) for the 5 PNG re-exports in P1. Gitea API reachable (HTTP 200) + token present for P2 task 3. |
+| G-108 | 7 (Security) | MITIGATE-BINDING | 0.80 | **P2 task 3 must update the CI workflow `secrets:` references** (`.gitea/workflows/*`, `.github/workflows/*`) when `NOVA_*` Gitea secrets are created, with graceful degrade + retry on API failure. The plan creates `NOVA_*` aliases but does not show the workflow YAML `secrets.ACDL_*` references being updated. If the workflows still reference `ACDL_*` secrets at P5 (when old secrets are deleted), CI breaks. The Gitea secrets rotation must be a hard gate with retry-on-failure (not a silent skip). |
+| G-109 | 8 (Maintainability) | ACCEPT-AS-IS | 0.78 | P5 is mechanical cleanup (drop fallback branch, hard-fail acdl:*, delete old secrets); 0-consumer-adoption means no external break at P5; grep-returns-0 is verifiable. |
+| G-110 | 9 (Adversarial) | ACCEPT-AS-IS | 0.75 | Runbook + staged ordering is the rollback; "keep old until verified" is the safety net; ALB recreate (last) is the only hard-downtime step. The `.env.secrets` load path (G-106) is what breaks first if misaligned — G-106 binds the mitigation. |
+
+### Escalations
+
+None remain open. All material questions resolved with confidence ≥ 0.60.
+Two findings carry accepted residual risk (auto-resolved at full autonomy
+with assumption logging):
+
+- **G-103 (Axis 1):** residual risk that the 4-phase structure underestimates
+  the 1,465-occurrence rename effort — accepted; per-phase fixture updates
+  (G-107) + the explore survey's mechanical-vs-judgment split bound the effort.
+- **G-107 (Axis 6):** residual risk that a test fixture is missed during the
+  per-phase rename, breaking 16/16 at a phase boundary — accepted; the
+  per-phase verify step (run the gate before tagging) catches it before ship.
+
+### Forcing questions asked (7)
+
+1. **Versioning contradiction** — Major milestone on v1.14.x PATCH line vs.
+   prior breaking milestones all minor-bumped. → **G-104 MITIGATE-BINDING**
+   (re-tag as v1.15.x).
+2. **P4 migration completeness** — plan-validated terraform vs live AWS
+   resources still `acdl-*`. → **G-103/105 ACCEPT-AS-IS** (runbook for live).
+3. **`.env.secrets` key rename mechanic** — dual-read helper bypassed by direct
+   shell/Python readers. → **G-106 MITIGATE-BINDING** (dual-read in both load
+   paths).
+4. **Gitea secrets rotation** — API reachable, token present, but workflow
+   `secrets:` references not shown updated. → **G-108 MITIGATE-BINDING** (update
+   workflow refs, hard gate + retry).
+5. **ABAC parallel-tag window** — over-engineered for 0 consumers, or correct
+   forward-looking safety net? → **G-108/Axis-4 ACCEPT-AS-IS** (parallel-tag is
+   the mitigation, plan-validated).
+6. **Regression gate during rebrand** — 16/16 across 1,465-occurrence rename?
+   → **G-107 ACCEPT-AS-IS** (per-phase fixture updates).
+7. **P5 fallback removal realism** — cleanup + review + audit + ship in one
+   phase? → **G-109 ACCEPT-AS-IS** (mechanical cleanup).
+8. **P4 rollback plan** — runbook + staged ordering sufficient? → **G-110
+   ACCEPT-AS-IS** (staged ordering is the rollback).
+
+### What the project is NOT doing that it should (adversarial close)
+
+- **Documenting the versioning rule it now follows.** G-104 binds the
+  v1.15.x minor-bumped scheme, but no `.ciagent/` file records the
+  versioning convention. The plan should add a one-line versioning note to
+  PROJECT.md §v1.15 or a `VERSIONING.md` so the next milestone doesn't
+  re-litigate this.
+- **Quantifying the live state volume** for the DynamoDB scan+copy + state
+  bucket migration. The runbook says "back up first" + "verify row counts" but
+  doesn't quantify the data. For 0-consumer-adoption, this is likely tiny —
+  but the rollback feasibility (G-110) depends on it being small enough to
+  re-scan. Accepted residual risk.
+
+### Simplest 80%-value version
+
+The simplest version that delivers 80% of the rebrand value: **P1 (docs/decks)
++ P2 (code/env dual-read) + P5 (ship)** — skip the live AWS resource migration
+(P3 SSM/tags + P4 AWS resources) entirely. The code + docs would say Nova; the
+cloud would still say `acdl-*`. This is the "rename code only, leave cloud"
+option D-102 rejected. The user chose the full migration (D-102) — the binding
+decision is recorded; the 80% version is NOT the chosen path. The full scope is
+accepted as user-directed.
+
+### What must be true for success in the next 90 days, and is it true today?
+
+1. **The dual-read helper + both `.env.secrets` load paths are updated in
+   lockstep (G-106).** — TRUE after P2 binds G-106; FALSE today (the direct
+   readers still hardcode `ACDL_*`).
+2. **The regression gate stays 16/16 at every phase boundary (G-107).** —
+   TRUE if per-phase fixture updates are complete before each tag; the
+   per-phase verify step enforces it.
+3. **The CI workflow `secrets:` references are updated when `NOVA_*` Gitea
+   secrets are created (G-108).** — FALSE today; P2 task 3 must be expanded to
+   include the workflow YAML updates.
+4. **The versioning scheme is corrected to v1.15.x (G-104).** — FALSE today;
+   the plan says v1.14.x. Must be corrected before P0 ship.
+
+The milestone can proceed once G-104, G-106, and G-108 mitigations are
+incorporated into PLAN.md. Confidence 0.82.

+### v1.15 domain priority
+
+`lead → backend → data` (inverted from v1.11)
+
+Rationale: the rebrand is docs/prose-first (P1 establishes the
+vocabulary, no runtime impact), then code/env-vars/consumer-path (P2),
+then SSM/tag-keys (P3), then the heavy terraform/AWS migration (P4).
+Lead-developer owns the docs + runbooks + verification + final ship;
+backend-engineer owns the dual-read helper + call-site migration +
+contract resolver; data-engineer owns the terraform resource/tag/SSM
+migration (the heaviest terraform territory). Co-authoring expected at:
+`core/env.py` + `core/*.py` boundary (backend + lead on the helper
+design), `nova_tagging.py` + `schemas/tagging-standard.json` boundary
+(backend authors the rule, data-engineer owns the tag-key schema),
+`core/output_publisher.py` SSM path + `terraform` outputs boundary
+(backend writes the reader, data-engineer owns the terraform that
+produces the outputs).
+
+### v1.15 verification toolchain (unchanged from v1.14)
+
+```
+typecheck: terraform validate && python3 -m py_compile core/**/*.py adapters/**/*.py
+test:      bash scripts/run_regression.sh   # 16-capability gate
+build:     bash scripts/run_ci.sh           # full local CI reproduction
+```
+
+The regression gate (CAP-001..CAP-016) must stay **16/16 Verified**
+throughout the rebrand — the rebrand must not regress any capability.
+P2/P3/P4 update test fixtures that reference `ACDL`/`acdl` so the gate
+stays green.

-# P65 — Rewrite Caps + Decks

-**Phase:** P65
+**Milestone:** v1.15 (Nova Rebrand — Major/breaking)
-**Milestone:** v1.11 (RESTART)
+**Type:** Major (breaking — consumer path, env vars, SSM path, tag keys,
-**Requirements:** REQ-116 (CAP-017..022 Verified), REQ-118 (decks rewritten)
+AWS resource names all change). Per the branch-strategy precedent
-**Wave:** 4 (final phase before COMPLETE)
+(v1.10.2 → v1.11.0, v1.9.x → v1.10.0 — breaking/feature milestones tag
-**Branch:** `milestone/v1.11-restart`
+on their OWN minor line, not the previous minor's patch line), v1.15
+tags run on the **v1.15.x minor line**: `v1.15.0` (P0) →
+`v1.15.1..v1.15.4` (P1–P4) → `v1.15.4` (P5 = milestone release). (G-104
+binding: the v1.14.x patch line is the NFR convention; a Major
+milestone ships on its own minor.)
+**Branch:** `milestone/v1.15-nova` → `phase/NN-<slug>`
 
-## Goal
+## Wave ordering (D-098 v1.15 analogue)
 
-Rewrite CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md, PROJECT.md §Capability Status, and both
+- **Wave 1 (P1):** docs/decks/prose — no runtime impact; establishes

+  deployments don't break during the transition window. REQ-158,
+  REQ-159, REQ-160. Depends on P1 (docs establish the guide P2 changes
+  are announced in).
+- **Wave 3 (P3):** SSM path + tag keys — SSM copy/read/delete; tag keys
+  parallel-tag → policy swap → remove old. REQ-161, REQ-162. Depends on
+  P2 (env var dual-read + nova_tagging.py warn mode must land first).
+- **Wave 4 (P4):** AWS resource names — staged terraform migration.
+  REQ-163. Depends on P3 (tag keys nova:* enforced hard before resource
+  recreation; nova_tagging.py hard mode).
+- **Wave 5 (P5):** final-review-ship — remove dual-read fallback, review,
+  audit, milestone ship. REQ-164. Depends on P1–P4.
 
-## Tasks
+## Execution approach
 
-### Task 1 — Update CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md
+Each phase: EXECUTE (persona-assigned task groups) → VERIFY (4 layers +
+regression gate stays 16/16) → SHIP (patch tag on v1.14.x line). Phase
+boundary checkpoint resets context. The execute workflow reads this
+PLAN.md + ROADMAP.md §v1.15 + PERSONAS.md §v1.15 for task decomposition.
 
-Mark CAP-017..022 as "Verified live-aws via lifecycle pipeline" (no longer
+**Binding constraint (capability gate):** the regression gate
-"not auto-verified"). Remove the IAM-drift framing. Reference the lifecycle
+(CAP-001..CAP-016, `scripts/run_regression.sh`) MUST stay 16/16 Verified
-pipeline as the evidence source.
+throughout the rebrand. Each phase updates test fixtures that reference
+`ACDL`/`acdl` so the gate stays green. No capability is added, removed,
+or reclassified — the rebrand is nomenclature + identifiers, not
+behavior.
 
-### Task 2 — Update PROJECT.md §Capability Status
+---
 
-Update the capability status section to reflect Verified status for
+## Wave 1 — Docs / Decks / Prose (P1)
-CAP-017..022.
 
-### Task 3 — Update decks (if present)
+### P1 — docs-decks-prose (REQ-155, REQ-156, REQ-157)
+**Persona:** lead-developer
+**Territory:** `README.md`, `docs/**`, `.ciagent/*.md`, deck
+`.md`/`-marp.md`/`-talking-points.md`/`.html`,
+`docs/presentations/assets/mmd/*.mmd` (+ PNG re-export), `pyproject.toml`,
+`schemas/*.schema.json` `$id` (D-110), `docs/NOVA_MIGRATION.md` (NEW),
+`.github/workflows/release.yml` title, `.gitea/workflows/release.yml`
+(if present), `modules/STANDARDS.md`, `contracts/**` prose
+**Tasks:**
+1. **Prose rebrand (REQ-155).** Find/replace across all docs + .ciagent
+   markdown: `ACDL` → `Nova`, `Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform` → `Nova`
+   (full phrase). Preserve historical narrative (e.g. "formerly ACDL"
+   in any changelog-style section is acceptable; otherwise full swap).
+   Update `pyproject.toml` `name` → `nova`, `description` → Nova.
+   Update `release.yml` release-title prefix `ACDL ` → `Nova `.
+   Update illustrative URLs in docs: `github.com/acdl/...` →
+   `github.com/nova/...`, `git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl*`
+   → `.../nova*` (prose only; config.json `release.gitea.repo` stays
+   `acdl` per D-105).
+2. **Schema $id rebrand (D-110, REQ-155).** Update `$id` in all
+   `schemas/*.schema.json` + `schemas/tagging-standard.json`:
+   `https://acdl.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...` →
+   `https://nova.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...`. Update test fixtures that
+   assert the `$id` value.
+3. **Deck + mermaid rebrand (REQ-156).** Edit both deck markdown
+   sources (`docs/presentations/how-the-platform-works.md`,
+   `the-developer-experience.md` + their `-marp.md` + `-talking-points.md`
+   variants): `ACDL` → `Nova` in slide content + mermaid cluster labels
+   (`["ACDL — infrastructure only"]` → `["Nova — infrastructure only"]`).
+   Edit the 5 `.mmd` sources (`docs/presentations/assets/mmd/*.mmd`):
+   `ACDL` → `Nova`. Re-export the PNG diagrams from the edited `.mmd`
+   sources so the committed PNGs match the new labels (use the deck
+   README's documented process: mmdc CLI or the render script).
+4. **Nova tagline insertion (REQ-157).** Add the tagline "The New Dawn
+   of DevSecOps — security as a seamless enabler of fast deployments" to:
+   the README header (below the title), both deck title slides (as the
+   subtitle, replacing "Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform"), and
+   `docs/vision.md` (top of the Vision section). Retain the existing
+   "North Star" / "consumers declare intent" framing — do NOT remove
+   it (D-106).
+5. **Consumer migration guide (REQ-155/160).** Create
+   `docs/NOVA_MIGRATION.md` announcing the 5 breaking changes coming in
+   P2–P4: (a) `.acdl/contract.yml` → `.nova/contract.yml` (P2); (b)
+   `ACDL_*` env vars → `NOVA_*` (P2, dual-read fallback); (c) SSM path
+   `/acdl/` → `/nova/` (P3); (d) AWS tag keys `acdl:*` → `nova:*` (P3);
+   (e) AWS resource names `acdl-*` → `nova-*` (P4, maintenance window).
+   Include the dual-read fallback window (P2–P4) + the cutoff (P5
+   removes fallback).
+6. **HTML re-render (REQ-156).** Re-render both deck HTML files from
+   the updated `-marp.md` sources (self-contained, base64 images, S&P
+   theme unchanged per D-107). Commit the re-rendered HTML.
+7. **Regress gate.** `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` — expect 16/16
+   Verified (fixtures referencing `ACDL`/`acdl` in paths are updated in
+   P2; P1 only touches prose/decks/schema-$id, so the gate should stay
+   green. If a test asserts an `ACDL` string in a doc it reads, update
+   the assertion to `Nova`).
 
-If leadership deck source files exist (PPTX/HTML/markdown), update them to
+---
-reflect verified-then-torn-down status. Add the cost appendix (P63) +
-pre-mortem reference (P64). Remove stale "deploy-unverified" claims.
 
-### Task 4 — ci-doc-verifier check
+## Wave 2 — Code / Env Vars / Consumer Path (P2)
 
-Run the doc-verifier to confirm no stale "deploy-unverified" claims remain
+### P2 — code-envvars-consumer-path (REQ-158, REQ-159, REQ-160)
-in any .ciagent/ or deck files.
+**Persona:** backend-engineer (lead) + lead-developer (docs/runbook)
+**Territory:** `core/env.py` (NEW), `core/*.py`, `scripts/*.py` +
+`*.sh`, `adapters/**`, `tests/**`, `.gitea/workflows/**` +
+`.github/workflows/**`, `.env` + `.env.secrets` (key rename),
+`schemas/tagging-standard.json`,
+`adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.py` →
+`nova_tagging.py`
+**Tasks:**
+1. **Dual-read env helper (D-108, REQ-159).** Create `core/env.py` with
+   `get_env(name, default=None)` that reads `NOVA_<name>` then falls
+   back to `ACDL_<name>`, returning `default` if neither. Add unit
+   tests in `tests/test_env_helper.py` covering: both set (NOVA wins),
+   only NOVA set, only ACDL set (fallback), neither set (default).
+2. **Env var rename (REQ-159).** Migrate all 21 `ACDL_*` env var
+   references → `NOVA_*` across `core/*.py`, `scripts/*.py` + `*.sh`,
+   `adapters/**`, `tests/**`, `.gitea/workflows/**`,
+   `.github/workflows/**`. Use the `core/env.py` helper at Python call
+   sites (replace `os.environ.get("ACDL_X")` →
+   `env.get_env("X")`); for shell scripts, use `${NOVA_X:-$ACDL_X}`
+   dual-read inline. Rename keys in `.env` + `.env.secrets` (KEY names
+   only — VALUES/secret material stay). Leave a comment in `.env.secrets`
+   noting the legacy `ACDL_*` keys are the dual-read fallback source
+   until P5. **G-106 binding:** the `.env.secrets` direct-read paths
+   (`scripts/run_platform.sh:288-289` `export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="$ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"`
+   + `core/regression_verify.py:309-312` `if k == "ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"`)
+   bypass the helper and MUST be updated to dual-read `NOVA_*` first,
+   `ACDL_*` fallback (shell: `${NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:-$ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}`;
+   Python: match `k == "NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" or k == "ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"`)
+   — otherwise AWS creds vanish mid-rename and CAP-013/014/015 fail.
+3. **Gitea secrets rotation + workflow refs (G-108 binding, REQ-159).**
+   Use the Gitea API (`scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` pattern or a new
+   `scripts/rename_gitea_secrets.py`) to create `NOVA_*` secrets
+   mirroring the `ACDL_*` values (idempotent + retry-on-failure), then
+   (after P5) delete the old `ACDL_*` secrets. For P2, just create the
+   `NOVA_*` aliases; deletion is P5. **G-108 binding:** when `NOVA_*`
+   secrets are created, the CI workflow `secrets:` references
+   (`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml:105,107,108,148`,
+   `.gitea/workflows/modules-lifecycle.yml:63,64,103,104,111,112,117,118,123,124,161,162,169,170`,
+   `.github/workflows/*` mirrored) MUST be updated from `secrets.ACDL_*`
+   → `secrets.NOVA_*` in the SAME phase, with graceful degrade + the
+   `acdl-deploy-` role name in deploy.yml:105 → `nova-deploy-` (P4
+   renames the IAM role). Until both secrets + refs are updated, CI
+   breaks — this is a hard gate, not a silent skip.
+4. **Checkov rule rename (D-109 warn mode, REQ-158).** Rename
+   `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.py` →
+   `nova_tagging.py`. Update the Checkov registration in
+   `schemas/tagging-standard.json` (line 5 + the `description`) and the
+   adapter config (`adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py`).
+   The rule enforces `nova:*` tag keys BUT in **warn mode** for P2
+   (existing resources still carry `acdl:*` until P3) — log a warning,
+   don't fail the check. Update `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` → `NOVA_TAG_NAMING`.
+5. **Consumer path rename (REQ-160).** Rename the consumer on-disk
+   contract path `.acdl/contract.yml` → `.nova/contract.yml` across:
+   `core/contract_resolver.py` (any default path), the deploy workflow
+   `default:` field (`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` +
+   `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` line 54), `schemas/contract.schema.json`
+   description, `tests/test_pipeline_contract.py:313` assertion, and
+   consumer docs (`docs/consumer-guide.md`, `docs/modules/index.md`).
+   Also `.acdl/static-assets.*.yml` → `.nova/...` + `.acdl/contract.yaml`
+   → `.nova/contract.yaml`.
+6. **Test fixture update (binding).** Update all test fixtures in
+   `tests/**` that reference `ACDL`/`acdl` (env var names, paths, table
+   names, tag keys) to the new `NOVA`/`nova` values — EXCEPT fixtures
+   that assert the dual-read fallback behavior (those keep `ACDL_*` as
+   the fallback source). `pytest` must pass.
+7. **Regress gate.** `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` — 16/16 Verified.
 
-## Success Criteria (phase gate)
+---
 
-1. CAPABILITY_INVENTORY + PROJECT reflect "Verified live-aws via lifecycle
+## Wave 3 — SSM Path + Tag Keys (P3)
-   pipeline; torn down to zero-cost."
+
-2. `ci-doc-verifier` confirms no stale "deploy-unverified" claims.
+### P3 — ssm-tagkeys (REQ-161, REQ-162)
-3. Full offline pytest suite green.
+**Persona:** data-engineer (lead) + backend-engineer (readers)
+**Territory:** `core/output_publisher.py`, `core/contract_resolver.py`,
+`scripts/migrate_ssm_paths.py` (NEW), `terraform/**` (tag keys),
+`adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/nova_tagging.py` (hard mode),
+ABAC session-policy terraform
+**Tasks:**
+1. **SSM path migration (REQ-161).** Update `core/output_publisher.py`:
+   the SSM parameter path prefix `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` →
+   `/nova/{env}/{contractId}/{output}`. Update `core/contract_resolver.py`
+   SSM reads. Update consumer docs. Create
+   `scripts/migrate_ssm_paths.py` that: (a) lists `/acdl/...`
+   parameters, (b) copies each to `/nova/...` (same value/type), (c)
+   verifies the copy, (d) deletes the old `/acdl/...` parameters. The
+   script is idempotent + dry-run by default (`--apply` to execute).
+2. **Tag keys: parallel-tag (REQ-162).** Update terraform tagging
+   (`terraform/platform/main.tf`, `terraform/microservice/main.tf`,
+   `terraform/ci-vpc/main.tf`, `modules/l1/*/terraform/main.tf`,
+   `modules/l2/*/composition.json` tag defaults) to emit **both**
+   `nova:*` and `acdl:*` tag keys during P3 (parallel-tag period). The
+   `acdl:cost-center` default `acdl-default` → `nova-default` for the
+   `nova:cost-center` key (keep `acdl-default` on the `acdl:cost-center`
+   key during the parallel period).
+3. **Tag keys: ABAC policy swap (REQ-162).** Update the ABAC session
+   policies (the deploy role's inline policy in
+   `terraform/platform/main.tf` + `terraform/bootstrap/**`) to match
+   `nova:*` tags (the `StringEquals`/`Resource` tag conditions reference
+   `nova:owner`/`nova:environment`/etc.). Keep the `acdl:*` match as a
+   secondary condition during the parallel period so neither old nor
+   new consumers break.
+4. **Checkov rule: hard mode (D-109, REQ-162).** Update
+   `nova_tagging.py` from warn → hard mode: enforce `nova:*` tag keys
+   (hard fail on missing `nova:*` or presence of `acdl:*`-only tags).
+   Update `schemas/tagging-standard.json` tag keys → `nova:*`.
+5. **Tag keys: remove old (REQ-162).** Once the parallel-tag period is
+   verified (terraform validate passes; the ABAC policy matches
+   `nova:*`), remove the `acdl:*` tag emissions from terraform. (Live
+   removal of `acdl:*` tags from existing AWS resources is a
+   documentation/runbook step — the terraform `null_resource` or a
+   script `scripts/untag_acdl_keys.py` can do it with live AWS access;
+   without live access, this is documented in the P4 runbook as a
+   runtime step.)
+6. **Test fixture + regress gate.** Update test fixtures asserting
+   `acdl:*` tag keys → `nova:*`. `pytest` passes;
+   `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` — 16/16 Verified.

+## Wave 4 — AWS Resource Name Migration (P4)
+
+### P4 — aws-resource-migration (REQ-163)
+**Persona:** data-engineer (lead) + lead-developer (runbook)
+**Territory:** `terraform/platform/main.tf`,
+`terraform/microservice/main.tf`, `terraform/ci-vpc/main.tf`,
+`terraform/bootstrap/**`, `modules/l1/alb/instance.json`,
+`scripts/migrate_dynamodb_data.py` (NEW),
+`docs/NOVA_AWS_MIGRATION.md` (NEW runbook),
+`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` (default table names, D-111)
+**Tasks:**
+1. **Runbook (REQ-163).** Create `docs/NOVA_AWS_MIGRATION.md` — the
+   maintenance-window + rollback runbook. Documents each resource rename,
+   the migration command, the verification step, and the rollback
+   procedure. Orders the migration: KMS alias (cheap) → SNS/SG (recreate)
+   → Lambda (recreate) → DynamoDB (scan+copy) → ECR (re-push) → IAM
+   (re-bootstrap) → state bucket (`-migrate-state`) → ALB (recreate,
+   brief downtime, last).
+2. **Terraform resource names (REQ-163).** Rename all `acdl-*` resource
+   names/labels → `nova-*` in `terraform/platform/main.tf`,
+   `terraform/microservice/main.tf`, `terraform/ci-vpc/main.tf`,
+   `terraform/bootstrap/**`, `modules/l1/alb/instance.json`:
+   - DynamoDB: `acdl-contracts` → `nova-contracts`,
+     `acdl-change-requests` → `nova-change-requests`
+   - Secrets Manager: `acdl/github-token` → `nova/github-token`
+   - Lambda: `acdl-contract-ingestor` (role/policy/function) →
+     `nova-contract-ingestor`
+   - SNS: `acdl-sod-halt` → `nova-sod-halt`
+   - SG: `acdl-ecs-sg` → `nova-ecs-sg`
+   - KMS: `alias/acdl-platform` → `alias/nova-platform`
+   - ECS: `acdl-microservice` (cluster/service/task/role) →
+     `nova-microservice`
+   - ECR: `acdl-microservice` → `nova-microservice`
+   - IAM: `acdl-spike-runner` (+policy) → `nova-spike-runner`
+   - S3 state bucket: `acdl-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1` →
+     `nova-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1`
+   - ALB: `acdl-alb` → `nova-alb`
+3. **Lambda default table names (D-111, REQ-163).** Update
+   `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` default env-var values:
+   `CONTRACTS_TABLE` default `acdl-contracts` → `nova-contracts`,
+   `CHANGE_REQUESTS_TABLE` `acdl-change-requests` →
+   `nova-change-requests`, `GITHUB_TOKEN_SECRET_ID` `acdl/github-token`
+   → `nova/github-token`, `PLATFORM_REPO` `acdl/acdl` → `nova/acdl`
+   (prose consistency; real repo unchanged).
+4. **State bucket migration (REQ-63).** Update the terraform backend
+   config (`terraform/{platform,microservice,ci-vpc}/terraform.tf` +
+   `bootstrap/create_state_backend.py` + `bootstrap/.bootstrap_state.json`)
+   to the new `nova-tfstate-...` bucket. Document the
+   `terraform init -migrate-state` command in the runbook (back up the
+   state JSON first).
+5. **DynamoDB data-migration script (REQ-163).** Create
+   `scripts/migrate_dynamodb_data.py` — scan+copy all items from
+   `acdl-contracts` → `nova-contracts` + `acdl-change-requests` →
+   `nova-change-requests`. Verify row counts match. Keep old tables
+   until verified (deletion is a manual post-verification step,
+   documented in the runbook).
+6. **terraform validate + regress gate.** `terraform validate` passes
+   for platform/microservice/ci-vpc. `grep -rn "acdl-" terraform/`
+   returns 0 hits. `pytest` passes; `bash scripts/run_regression.sh` —
+   16/16 Verified.

+**Tasks:**
+1. **Remove dual-read fallback (REQ-164).** Update `core/env.py`
+   `get_env()` to read `NOVA_*` only (remove the `ACDL_*` fallback).
+   Update shell scripts to `${NOVA_X}` only (remove `:-$ACDL_X`).
+   Update `nova_tagging.py` to hard-fail on any `acdl:*` tag key (no
+   warn). Delete the `ACDL_*` secrets from Gitea (the `NOVA_*` aliases
+   created in P2 are now the only source). Remove the legacy comment
+   from `.env.secrets`.
+2. **Multi-persona review.** Run `ciagent-review` across all v1.15
+   phases (P1–P4 changes). Auto-apply P0 fixes; flag P1+ for post-hoc.
+   If P1+ found, fix in this phase.

+
+## Objective for Milestone v1.14 (active — NFR Refinement)
+
+Bug fixes, security posture improvements, stub/missing-functionality
+identification + implementation, and documentation + NFR refinement across
+the entire codebase. **No new features.** This is an NFR milestone — the
+final phase's patch IS the deliverable (no separate milestone tag).
+
+The v1.13 line shipped the presentation polish + config.json schema
+migration + badge cleanup. The v1.11/v1.12 multi-persona reviews left a
+backlog of P1/P2 findings (5 P1 + 4 P2 open in `REVIEW.md`), the codebase
+has 6+ swallowed-error sites and 15+ hardcoded account-ID references, 7
+scripts have no test coverage, the regression gate's CAP-017..022 evidence
+is an offline proxy, ARCHITECTURE.md has no v1.11–v1.13 addendum, and
+consumer-facing docs reference stale `@v1.6`–`@v1.9` workflow tags. v1.14
+clears all of it in a 20-phase sweep.
+
+**Scope axes (user-directed, 2026-07-29):**
+1. **Bug fixes** — clear all open P1/P2 findings from the v1.11 review
+   (adapter dedup silent drop, static-assets unwired inputs, lifecycle
+   script vestigial args, regression-gate offline-proxy evidence, ALB
+   name_prefix, missing unit tests).
+2. **Security posture** — narrow 6 swallowed-`except` sites; externalize
+   the hardcoded account ID; scope 6 `Resource: "*"` IAM statements to
+   `acdl-*` ARNs; harden contract-ingestor identity validation; add
+   `additionalProperties: false` + format validation to schemas; add
+   credential-pattern catch-all to `.gitignore`.
+3. **Stub / missing functionality** — resolve the discarded
+   `--kube-version` flag in the Kyverno adapter; clean up orphan bytecode
+   + dead config.
+4. **Documentation + NFR refinement** — ARCHITECTURE.md v1.11–v1.14
+   addenda; bump stale `@v1.6–1.9` → `@v1.13` across 12+ sites; sync
+   decks/COST.md/GRILL G-005+G-008/IAM_POLICY.md; reconcile
+   modules/STANDARDS.md; record the D-083 audit-ledger deferral
+   explicitly.
+5. **Test coverage** — add unit tests for 7 untested scripts + the
+   adapter dedup/remote-state-key behaviors.
+
+**Out of scope (v1.14):**
+- New features (feat phases). v1.14 is NFR-only.
+- D-083 audit ledger build-out (S3 Object Lock + JWS + SQS DLQ + async
+  worker) — remains deferred; documented explicitly in ARCHITECTURE.md.
+- Real OIDC federation (blocked on go-gitea/gitea#36988).
+- Per-phase regression hardening (G-007, unchanged).
+- Boto3 post-deploy verification probes (deferred to a future QA
+  milestone).
+
+**Milestone type:** NFR (all phases are fix/test/docs/chore/refactor).
+**Ship tag:** final phase patch on the v1.13.x line IS the release.
+
+## Milestone v1.14 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 0 | pre-execution | SPECIFY → CLARIFY → RESEARCH → IDEATE → PLAN → GRILL. Establish v1.14 milestone shell; ideate finds the concrete requirements; plan decomposes into 20 execution phases. |
+| 1–20 | execution | 20 phases of bug fixes, security hardening, stub resolution, test coverage, docs sync (wave-ordered). See ROADMAP.md §v1.14 for the phase list. |
+| 21 | final-review-ship | Multi-persona review + audit + milestone ship (merge to main, tag final patch = release). |
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.14)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage (full autonomy — all within locked
+constraints or user-directed scope). New v1.14 decisions (numbered
+D-095+ to continue from v1.10's D-094):
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----|----------|-----------|---------|
+| D-095 | v1.14 is an NFR milestone (no feat phases); final patch IS the release. | User directed: "No new features, only bug fixes, security posture improvements, identifying stub and implement missing/lacking functionality, refine all documentation + NFRs." NFR model per branch-strategy.md:181 — progressive patches, final patch = deliverable, no separate milestone tag. | 20 execution phases (P1–P20) + 1 final (P21). Tags v1.13.3 → v1.13.24. |
+| D-096 | D-083 (audit ledger JWS + S3 Object Lock + SQS DLQ + async worker) remains deferred; documented explicitly in ARCHITECTURE.md (P19), not implemented. | User chose "Skip — keep D-083 deferred." Requires non-offline-testable AWS infra (Object Lock bucket, KMS signing key, SQS). The hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox remains the v1.14 audit record. | P14 (originally JWS) replaced with orphan-artifact-and-dead-config-cleanup. D-083 deferral recorded in P19. |
+| D-097 | 20 execution phases is the target (not consolidated to ~10). | User chose "20 phases as planned." Finer ship granularity; longer milestone. G-007 (per-phase regression) accepted — regression gate runs at milestone COMPLETE. | 20 phases + 1 final = 21-phase milestone. |
+| D-098 | Wave ordering: W1 (P1–P6 bug fixes), W2 (P7–P12 security), W3 (P13–P17 stub/test/CI/hygiene), W4 (P18–P20 standards/docs/VPC). | Prerequisite chains: P2 depends on P1 (composition needs correct dedup); P9 depends on P8 (IAM ARNs reference externalized account ID); P15 depends on P7 (script tests benefit from hardened errors); P17 depends on P14 (both touch config.json); P19 lands last (reflects all prior phases). | 4 sequential waves; phases within a wave are independent (parallelizable when parallelization.enabled=true). |
+| D-099 | `--ideate` flag: run the IDEATE stage between RESEARCH and PLAN (per ideate.md:218). The ideation tiers mine the 50 `partial:` + 16 `lessons:` + 3 `escalation:` + 16 `decisions:` git-native signals to validate/enrich the 20-phase scope. | User invoked with `--ideate`. The v1.14 scope is already user-directed (20 phases defined), so IDEATE acts as validation + enrichment, not scope discovery. Accepted ideas become IDEATE-NN IDs appended to REQUIREMENTS.md. | IDEATE stage runs; interactive validation gate (accept/skip/modify). |
+| D-100 | Accept all 20 ideation findings as the v1.14 requirement set (REQ-135..REQ-154). | User accepted all 20 at the interactive validation gate. Mechanical + backend-enriched tiers confirmed the user-directed scope. | 20 REQs locked; PLAN.md formalizes the task decomposition. |
+| D-101 | E-001 (P8 state-bucket continuity residual risk) auto-resolved at full autonomy: accept the residual risk. G-102's binding mitigation (fallback bound to live account ID + workflow env wiring) is the control. The lifecycle pipeline defaults to plan-only (REQ-134) — full-mode runs are workflow_dispatch only, reducing the accident surface. | Grill escalation E-001 (confidence 0.55) re-exposes the v1.11 4-VPC root cause. At full autonomy, auto-decide with assumption logging. The residual risk (misconfigured env at live-run time) is runtime-dependent, not plan-resolvable. If the user prefers zero residual risk, direct that P8 exclude the state-bucket name from externalization entirely. | E-001 resolved; G-102 binding decision enforced in PLAN.md P8. |

+
+## Milestone v1.15 — Nova (Rebrand)
+
+**Active milestone.** A full rebrand from ACDL → Nova across docs,
+decks, code, configs, CI, env var prefixes, the consumer contract path,
+SSM parameter paths, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names — with a
+staged infrastructure migration to avoid breakage.
+
+**Milestone type:** Major (breaking — consumer-facing path, env var
+prefixes, SSM path, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names all change).
+Tags run on the v1.15.x minor line: `v1.15.0` (P0) → `v1.15.4` (P5
+final = milestone release). (G-104 binding: Major milestones tag on
+their own minor line, not the previous minor's patch line.)
+
+**In scope (v1.15):**
+- Prose/decks/mermaid/pyproject/release-title rebrand (P1).
+- Code identifiers, env var prefixes (`ACDL_*`→`NOVA_*` dual-read),
+  consumer path (`.acdl/`→`.nova/`) (P2).
+- SSM path (`/acdl/`→`/nova/`) + AWS tag keys (`acdl:*`→`nova:*` ABAC)
+  (P3).
+- AWS resource names (`acdl-*`→`nova-*`) with migration (P4).
+- Final review + audit + remove dual-read fallback + milestone ship (P5).
+
+**Out of scope (v1.15):**
+- Renaming the real Gitea org/repo or GitHub org `acdl` (config stays
+  `acdl`; doc URLs updated to `nova` for prose only).
+- Renaming the S&P Global Energy visual theme (`sp-theme.json`) —
+  client branding.
+- Past Gitea release titles — only future releases use `Nova vX.Y.Z`.
+- Git branch/tag naming — no brand name present.
+
+**Milestone type:** Major (breaking). **Ship tag:** final phase patch
+on the v1.15.x minor line IS the release (`v1.15.4`).
+
+## Milestone v1.15 Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Goal |
+|-------|------|------|
+| 0 | pre-execution | SPECIFY → CLARIFY → RESEARCH → IDEATE → PLAN → GRILL. Establish v1.15-Nova milestone shell; ideation finds the 10 Nova requirements (REQ-155..164); plan decomposes into 4 execution phases. |
+| 1 | docs-decks-prose | Rebrand all prose/decks/mermaid/pyproject/release-titles ACDL→Nova; add Nova tagline; ship consumer migration guide. |
+| 2 | code-envvars-consumer-path | Rename acdl_tagging.py→nova_tagging.py; ACDL_*→NOVA_* dual-read; .acdl/→.nova/ contract path. |
+| 3 | ssm-tagkeys | SSM /acdl/→/nova/ + AWS tag keys acdl:*→nova:* with parallel-tag ABAC migration. |
+| 4 | aws-resource-migration | Rename all acdl-* AWS resources → nova-* with staged migration + runbook. |
+| 5 | final-review-ship | Multi-persona review + audit + remove dual-read fallback + milestone ship (merge to main, tag final patch = release). |
+
+## Key Decisions (v1.15)
+
+Resolved at the CLARIFY stage (full autonomy — all within locked
+constraints or user-directed scope). New v1.15 decisions (numbered
+D-102+ to continue from v1.14's D-101). The high-judgment scope
+decisions (D-102..D-107) were locked in by the user during the planning
+conversation before execution; D-108..D-112 resolved at CLARIFY.
+
+| ID | Decision | Rationale | Outcome |
+|----|----------|-----------|---------|
+| D-102 | AWS resource names: full rename with migration. | User chose "Full rename with migration." All `acdl-*` AWS resources → `nova-*` including state bucket migration, DynamoDB data migration, IAM re-bootstrap, ECR re-push. Accepts downtime + multi-phase migration. | P4 implements the staged migration + rollback runbook. |
+| D-103 | Env var prefixes: full rename to `NOVA_*`. | User chose "Full rename to `NOVA_*`." All 21 `ACDL_*` prefixes → `NOVA_*` including `.env.secrets` (key names only, values stay) + Gitea secrets. | P2 renames + implements dual-read fallback; P5 removes fallback. |
+| D-104 | Tag keys + SSM path + consumer path: full rename all three. | User chose "Full rename all three." AWS tag keys `acdl:*`→`nova:*` (ABAC re-scope), SSM path `/acdl/`→`/nova/` (param migration), consumer path `.acdl/`→`.nova/`. | P2 (consumer path) + P3 (SSM + tag keys) implement. |
+| D-105 | External URLs: illustrative — update them. | User chose "URLs are illustrative — update them." Doc URLs (`github.com/acdl/...`, `git.cloudinit.dev/.../acdl*`) → `nova` for prose consistency. Real Gitea repo name (`release.gitea.repo`) stays `acdl`. | P1 updates doc URLs; config.json unchanged. |
+| D-106 | Nova tagline: add alongside existing North Star. | User chose "Add Nova tagline alongside existing North Star." Tagline "The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security as a seamless enabler of fast deployments" added to README header, deck title slides, `docs/vision.md`. Existing "consumers declare intent" framing retained. | P1 adds tagline; no prose removed. |
+| D-107 | S&P visual theme: leave untouched. | User chose "Leave S&P theme untouched." `sp-theme.json` (#D6002A red, Akkurat Pro) is client branding, not the Nova product brand. Only product-brand text (ACDL→Nova) changes in decks. | P1 edits deck text only; theme/CSS unchanged. |
+| D-108 | Dual-read fallback centralized in a new `core/env.py` helper. | No centralized env loader exists today (env vars read via scattered `os.environ.get("ACDL_*")`). A new `core/env.py` `get_env(name)` helper reads `NOVA_X` then falls back to `ACDL_X`, returning `None` if neither. All call sites migrate to the helper in P2; P5 removes the fallback. | P2 creates `core/env.py` + migrates call sites; P5 removes fallback. |
+| D-109 | Checkov custom rule `nova_tagging.py` warns during P2, hard-fails from P3. | During P2 (before tag-key migration), existing resources still carry `acdl:*` tags — a hard fail would break the regression gate. P2 rule warns on `acdl:*`; P3 (after parallel-tag + ABAC swap) hard-fails on `acdl:*` and enforces `nova:*`. | P2: warn mode; P3: hard mode. |
+| D-110 | Schema `$id` URLs (`https://acdl.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...`) → `https://nova.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...`. | These are illustrative schema identifiers (no real DNS resolution required for JSON-schema validation). Renamed for brand consistency in P1. Existing `$id` values in test fixtures updated. | P1 renames schema `$id` + fixture references. |
+| D-111 | Lambda env-var defaults (`CONTRACTS_TABLE` default `"acdl-contracts"`, etc.) → `nova-contracts`. | `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` has hardcoded `acdl-*` default table names. These become `nova-*` in P4 (resource migration). P2 changes the env-var name (`ACDL_*`→`NOVA_*`); P4 changes the default values to `nova-*`. | P4 updates Lambda defaults. |
+| D-112 | `nova` slug: no `project:` prefix on branches (single-project mode). | `config.json` has `projects[]` with one entry (slug `acdl`) but `git.branching_strategy` is `flat` and the established convention since v1.0 is flat branches (no `<slug>/` prefix). Nova rebrand does NOT change the branch prefix convention. Commit `---ci---` blocks use `project: acdl` (the config slug, unchanged). | Branches stay `milestone/v1.15-nova`, `phase/NN-*`; no `acdl/` or `nova/` prefix. |

+## Milestone v1.14 — NFR Refinement (REQ-135..REQ-154)
+
+**Objective:** Bug fixes, security posture improvements, stub/missing-
+functionality identification + implementation, and documentation + NFR
+refinement across the entire codebase. **No new features.** NFR milestone
+— the final phase's patch IS the deliverable.
+
+The v1.11 multi-persona review left 5 P1 + 4 P2 findings open; the
+codebase has 6+ swallowed-error sites, 15+ hardcoded account-ID
+references, 7 untested scripts, an offline-proxy regression gate,
+ARCHITECTURE.md with no v1.11–v1.13 addendum, and consumer-facing docs
+referencing stale `@v1.6`–`@v1.9` workflow tags. v1.14 clears all of it
+in a 20-phase sweep.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- **REQ-135** — The adapter dedup loop raises `ValueError` for
+  unregistered-module resources instead of silently dropping them (P1-1).
+  (Phase P1)
+- **REQ-136** — The static-assets L2 composition wires `default_ttl`/
+  `max_ttl`/`price_class`/`viewer_protocol_policy` and makes WAF
+  conditional via `waf_enabled`, so `complex.yml` is a real modify (P1-2).
+  (Phase P2)
+- **REQ-137** — The L2 lifecycle scripts' usage strings no longer
+  advertise the vestigial `[ci-vpc-outputs.json]` arg, or document the
+  remote-state design (P1-3). (Phase P3)
+- **REQ-138** — The regression gate's CAP-017..022 checks run
+  `terraform validate` (not just file-existence + resolver); the
+  offline-proxy caveat is documented honestly (P1-5). (Phase P4)
+- **REQ-139** — Unit tests for adapter dedup merge behavior +
+  `ACDL_REMOTE_STATE_KEY` override exist and pass (P2-2). (Phase P5)
+- **REQ-140** — The ALB target group `name_prefix` derives from `var.name`
+  (P2-1). (Phase P6)
+- **REQ-141** — 6 over-broad `except ...: pass` sites narrowed to specific
+  exceptions; errors logged with context. (Phase P7)
+- **REQ-142** — The hardcoded account ID `581513795199` is externalized to
+  `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` env / `data.aws_caller_identity` across 15+ sites.
+  (Phase P8)
+- **REQ-143** — 6 `Resource: "*"` IAM statements scoped to `acdl-*` ARNs;
+  regression test asserts the scoping. (Phase P9)
+- **REQ-144** — The contract ingestor validates `contractId`/`environment`/
+  `error`; ABAC reliance documented; spoofing-resistance test passes.
+  (Phase P10)
+- **REQ-145** — `contract.schema.json` + `environment.schema.json` reject
+  undocumented fields (`additionalProperties: false`); format validation
+  for bucket/ARN/CIDR. (Phase P11)
+- **REQ-146** — `.gitignore` has a credential-pattern catch-all;
+  `test_no_secrets_tracked.py` passes. (Phase P12)
+- **REQ-147** — The Kyverno `--kube-version` flag is either implemented or
+  removed with a documented deferral rationale. (Phase P13)
+- **REQ-148** — Orphan bytecode + dead config cleaned (orphan `.pyc`,
+  stale coverage source, stale version, dead JS allowlist). (Phase P14)
+- **REQ-149** — 7 untested scripts have unit test coverage (≥1 test each).
+  (Phase P15)
+- **REQ-150** — Gitea workflow parity resolved; `rotate_spike_key.sh` +
+  `sync_to_gl.sh` have `set -euo pipefail`. (Phase P16)
+- **REQ-151** — `config.json` persona block + branching strategy +
+  ollama-cloud backend aligned with PERSONAS.md + actual runtime.
+  (Phase P17)
+- **REQ-152** — `modules/STANDARDS.md` internally consistent; no stale
+  `TYPE_MAP` reference. (Phase P18)
+- **REQ-153** — ARCHITECTURE.md has v1.11–v1.14 addenda; stale `@v1.6–1.9`
+  → `@v1.13`; GRILL G-005/G-008 resolved; COST.md window covers v1.11–v1.14;

+## v1.15 — Nova (Rebrand)
+
+**Milestone type:** Major (breaking — consumer-facing path, env var
+prefixes, SSM path, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names all change).
+Per the branch-strategy precedent (breaking/feature milestones tag on
+their OWN minor line), v1.15 tags run on the **v1.15.x minor line**:
+`v1.15.0` (P0) → `v1.15.1..v1.15.4` (P1–P4) → `v1.15.4` (P5 final =
+milestone release). (G-104 binding: the v1.14.x patch line is the NFR
+convention; a Major milestone ships on its own minor.)
+
+A full rebrand from **ACDL** / "Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform" →
+**Nova** / "The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security as a seamless enabler
+of fast deployments." The new tagline is added alongside the existing
+"North Star" / "consumers declare intent" framing; the S&P Global Energy
+visual theme (`sp-theme.json`) is a client brand and is **not** touched.
+The rebrand applies across docs, decks, code, configs, CI, env vars,
+consumer conventions, SSM paths, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names —
+with a staged infrastructure migration to avoid breakage.
+
+Ideation source: `--ideate` flag (user-directed scope; the survey found
+1,465 occurrences of `ACDL`/`acdl` across 205 files and zero existing
+`nova` references — no collision risk). Accepted ideas become
+IDEATE-01..IDEATE-10, mapped to REQ-155..REQ-164.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- **REQ-155** — (IDEATE-01) All prose, titles, headers, and comments
+  across `README.md`, `docs/**`, `.ciagent/*.md`, deck markdown sources,
+  `pyproject.toml` name/description, and `release.yml` release-title
+  prefix are rebranded `ACDL`/`Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform` → `Nova`.
+  Illustrative URLs in docs (`github.com/acdl/...`,
+  `git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl*`) are updated to
+  `nova` for prose consistency. Gitea release titles going forward read
+  `Nova vX.Y.Z` (past releases keep their names). (Phase P1)
+- **REQ-156** — (IDEATE-02) All Marp deck markdown sources
+  (`docs/presentations/*-marp.md`, `*.md`, `*-talking-points.md`) and
+  mermaid source `.mmd` files are rebranded `ACDL` → `Nova`; the deck
+  title-slide subtitle becomes `Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps`. The
+  `.mmd` sources are edited and the rendered PNG diagrams are
+  re-exported so the committed PNGs match the new labels. The S&P visual
+  theme (`sp-theme.json`) is unchanged. HTML decks are re-rendered.
+  (Phase P1)
+- **REQ-157** — (IDEATE-03) The Nova tagline ("The New Dawn of DevSecOps
+  — security as a seamless enabler of fast deployments") is added to the
+  README header, both deck title slides, and `docs/vision.md` —
+  alongside (not replacing) the existing "North Star" / "consumers
+  declare intent" framing. (Phase P1)
+- **REQ-158** — (IDEATE-04) `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.py`
+  is renamed `nova_tagging.py` with its Checkov custom-rule registration
+  updated (`schemas/tagging-standard.json` line 5 + adapter config). The
+  Checkov rule enforces `nova:*` tag keys. (Phase P2)
+- **REQ-159** — (IDEATE-05) All 21 `ACDL_*` env var prefixes are renamed
+  to `NOVA_*` across `scripts/`, `core/`, `adapters/`, `tests/`,
+  workflows (`.gitea/`, `.github/`), `.env`, `.env.secrets` (key names
+  only — values/secret material stay), and consumer docs. A **dual-read
+  fallback** (`NOVA_X` preferred, fall back to `ACDL_X`) is implemented
+  in the config/env loader so deployments do not break during the
+  transition window; the fallback is removed in the final phase once all
+  consumers are migrated. Gitea repo secrets are rotated via API.
+  (Phase P2)
+- **REQ-160** — (IDEATE-06) The consumer on-disk contract path
+  `.acdl/contract.yml` (and `.acdl/static-assets.*.yml`,
+  `.acdl/contract.yaml`) becomes `.nova/contract.yml` across the
+  contract resolver, deploy workflow checkout path, consumer docs, and
+  the contract schema description. A consumer migration guide is shipped
+  with P1 docs. (Phase P2)
+- **REQ-161** — (IDEATE-07) The SSM parameter path prefix
+  `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` becomes
+  `/nova/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` across `core/output_publisher`,
+  the contract resolver, and consumer docs. A migration script copies
+  existing `/acdl/...` parameters → `/nova/...`, readers are updated,
+  then old parameters are deleted. (Phase P3)
+- **REQ-162** — (IDEATE-08) AWS tag keys `acdl:owner`,
+  `acdl:environment`, `acdl:contract`, `acdl:cost-center`, `acdl:ref`
+  become `nova:owner`, `nova:environment`, `nova:contract`,
+  `nova:cost-center`, `nova:ref` across terraform tagging, the Checkov
+  custom rule (`nova_tagging.py`), and ABAC session policies. A
+  **parallel-tag period** adds `nova:*` tags to all resources first,
+  updates the ABAC session policies to match `nova:*`, then removes the
+  `acdl:*` tags once consumers are verified. (Phase P3)
+- **REQ-163** — (IDEATE-09) All `acdl-*` AWS resource names are renamed
+  to `nova-*` via terraform: KMS alias `alias/acdl-platform` →
+  `alias/nova-platform`, SNS `acdl-sod-halt` → `nova-sod-halt`, SG
+  `acdl-ecs-sg` → `nova-ecs-sg`, Lambda `acdl-contract-ingestor` →
+  `nova-contract-ingestor`, DynamoDB `acdl-contracts`/`acdl-change-requests`
+  → `nova-contracts`/`nova-change-requests` (scan+copy data migration,
+  verify row counts, keep old tables until verified), ECR
+  `acdl-microservice` → `nova-microservice` (re-push images), IAM
+  user/policy `acdl-spike-runner` → `nova-spike-runner` (re-bootstrap
+  with new key), state bucket `acdl-tfstate-...` → `nova-tfstate-...`
+  (`terraform init -migrate-state` to new backend, state JSON backed up
+  first), ALB name prefix `acdl-alb` → `nova-alb` (recreate, brief
+  downtime). A maintenance window + rollback runbook is published with
+  the migration. (Phase P4)
+- **REQ-164** — (IDEATE-10) The dual-read env var fallback
+  (`ACDL_*`→`NOVA_*`) and any `ACDL_*`-only references are removed once
+  all consumers are migrated; the consumer migration guide is finalized;
+  `nova_tagging.py` no longer accepts `acdl:*` tag keys. (Phase P5)

+## v1.14 Research Addendum — NFR Refinement scope audit (2026-07-29)
+
+> Phase 0 RESEARCH for milestone v1.14 (NFR Refinement). A full codebase
+> survey (8 categories, file:line evidence) was conducted to populate the
+> 20-phase scope. This addendum records the findings; the phase list is
+> in ROADMAP.md §v1.14; the requirements are in REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.14.
+
+### Survey method
+
+Read-only survey of `/root/acdl` at v1.13.2 (HEAD `139224ff`, 533 tests
+collected). 8 categories: stubs, P1/P2 backlog, security, docs drift,
+test gaps, terraform gaps, workflow gaps, config hygiene. All file:line
+references verified against the live codebase.
+
+### Finding 1 — Open P1/P2 backlog (REVIEW.md v1.11)
+
+5 P1 + 4 P2 findings from the v1.11 multi-persona review remain open:
+
+| ID | File:Line | Status | v1.14 phase |
+|----|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| P1-1 | `adapter.py:159-170` (silent drop of unregistered-module resources) | open | P1 |
+| P1-2 | `static-assets/composition.json` (unwired cloudfront inputs; WAF unconditional) | open | P2 |
+| P1-3 | `run_l2_lifecycle_*.sh` (vestigial `[ci-vpc-outputs.json]` arg) | open | P3 |
+| P1-4 | `CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md:9-16` (summary table stale) | **fixed** (now 22/22) | — |
+| P1-5 | `regression_verify.py:432-519` (CAP-017..022 offline proxy, no `terraform validate`) | open | P4 |
+| P2-1 | `alb/main.tf:9` (`name_prefix="tg-ci-"` discards `var.name`) | open | P6 |
+| P2-2 | `test_adapter.py` (no dedup-merge or remote-state-key test) | open | P5 |
+| P2-3 | `waf/complex.yml` + `locals.tf` (redundant `upper()` + uppercase example) | open (post-hoc) | folded into P2 |
+| P2-4 | `COST.md:106` (account ID published; accepted exposure) | open (post-hoc) | folded into P8 (centralize code-side) |
+
+### Finding 2 — Security posture gaps
+
+**Swallowed errors (6 sites):**
+- `core/local_emulators.py:374` — `except Exception: pass` in
+  `_fake_urlopen`; if patching fails, urlopen stays real → network
+  egress. [SEC] → P7.
+- `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py:157` — GitHub search failure →
+  `existing = []` → duplicate issues. → P7.
+- `terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py:51` — over-broad
+  `except Exception:` on `head_bucket` → spurious `create_bucket` on
+  permissions/network errors. → P7.
+- `core/output_publisher.py:100,168` — SSM/GitHub failure → silent
+  `None`/`False`. → P7.
+- `terraform/bootstrap/apply_iam_baseline.py:78` — over-broad on
+  old-version delete. → P7.
+
+**Hardcoded account ID `581513795199` (15+ sites):**
+`adapter.py:125,140`, `apply_iam_baseline.py:33`,
+`create_state_backend.py:33,35`, `push_consumer_image.py:32`, terraform
+state-bucket names, ECR image ref. → P8 (externalize to
+`ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` / `data.aws_caller_identity`).
+
+**IAM policy wildcards (6 `Resource: "*"` statements):**
+`spike_runner_policy.json` — cloudfront (line 117), wafv2 (129), kms
+(218), iam (236). KMS allows key creation/deletion on ANY key; IAM
+allows role creation on ANY role. → P9 (scope to `acdl-*` ARNs).
+
+**Contract-ingestor identity validation gap:**
+`contract_ingestor.py:221-245` — `_validate_caller_identity` validates
+`consumerRepo` format only; doesn't verify caller owns the repo (ABAC
+reliance). No `contractId`/`environment`/`error` validation. → P10.
+
+**Schema validation gaps:**
+`contract.schema.json` + `environment.schema.json` — no
+`additionalProperties: false` (undocumented fields pass silently); no
+format validation for bucket/ARN/CIDR. → P11.
+
+**Credential hygiene:**
+`.gitignore` covers `.env*`/`*.tfstate*` but no credential-pattern
+catch-all (`*.pem`/`*.key`/`*.p12`). → P12.
+
+**Audit ledger integrity (D-083):**
+`audit_ledger_design.md:47-70` — JWS + Object Lock + DLQ deferred. Per
+D-096, stays deferred; documented in P19. The hash-chain + DynamoDB
+outbox is the v1.14 audit record.
+
+### Finding 3 — Stubs / missing functionality
+
+- `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py:11,115-116` — `--kube-version`
+  parsed then discarded (`_ = kube_version`). → P13 (implement or
+  remove + document).
+- `scripts/__pycache__/verify_deploy_microservice.cpython-312.pyc` —
+  orphan bytecode for a deleted source file. → P14.
+- `core/regression_verify.py:237` — DynamoDB write deferred to Phase 54
+  (outbox hash-chain verified, no real DynamoDB write). Accepted
+  deferral.
+- `adapters/wiz/wiz_adapter.py` — real GraphQL client (not a stub);
+  degrades gracefully. OK.
+- `core/separation_of_duties.py` — `route_halt_artifact` is real (SNS +
+  outbox fallback). OK.
+- `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py` — `report_error` is real (GitHub
+  issues via Secrets Manager). OK.
+
+### Finding 4 — Documentation drift
+
+- `ARCHITECTURE.md` — no v1.11/v1.12/v1.13/v1.14 addendum; line 500-506
+  still describes the **old** parameterized adapter (pre-stateless
+  rewrite). → P19.
+- Stale `@v1.6`–`@v1.9` workflow refs in `README.md:225`,
+  `docs/consumer-guide.md` (12 sites), `docs/architecture.md:233`,
+  `docs/pipeline/versioning.md:29`, `docs/pipeline/index.md:42`. → P19.
+- `modules/STANDARDS.md` §8 references `TYPE_MAP` (deleted in v1.11);
+  §9.4 requires 5-file split but §489-492 allows inlining —
+  inconsistent. → P18.
+- `COST.md` window stops at v1.10; no v1.11–v1.13 spend. → P19.
+- `GRILL.md` G-005/G-008 escalations — CAP-017..022 now Verified via
+  lifecycle pipeline; COST.md now exists. → P19 (mark resolved).
+- `IAM_POLICY.md` — reflects v1.11 re-bootstrap but not v1.12/v1.13.
+  → P19.
+- Decks reference "v1.12" verification status; not re-synced for
+  v1.13.2. → P19.
+
+### Finding 5 — Test coverage gaps
+
+- 533 tests collected; 5 `@pytest.mark.slow` (deselected from fast
+  suite). 7 scripts with no test: `seed_uptime_monitors.py`,
+  `push_consumer_image.py`, `sync_to_gl.sh`, `post_stage_comment.sh`,
+  `rotate_spike_key.sh`, `create_state_backend.py`,
+  `create_iam_user.py`. → P15.
+- Adapter dedup-merge + `ACDL_REMOTE_STATE_KEY` override — no unit
+  test (P2-2). → P5.
+
+### Finding 6 — Terraform gaps
+
+- 3 L1 modules lack `locals.tf` (`ecr`, `ecs-cluster`, `rds`). → P18.
+- `static-assets/composition.json` unwired inputs (P1-2). → P2.
+- `terraform/platform/main.tf:255` — hardcoded CIDR; `count=2` subnets
+  not data-driven. → P20.
+- `terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py:51` — over-broad
+  except (Finding 2). → P7.
+
+### Finding 7 — Workflow / pipeline gaps
+
+- 4 GitHub-only workflows (patterns-plan, platform-test,
+  primitives-plan, release) — no Gitea mirror. → P16.
+- `rotate_spike_key.sh` (only `set -u`), `sync_to_gl.sh` (no `set`
+  flags). → P16.
+- 3 shared workflows (ci, deploy, modules-lifecycle) byte-identical
+  (verified). OK.
+- modules-lifecycle matrix covers all 12 L1 + 2 L2. OK.
+
+### Finding 8 — Config / project hygiene
+
+- `config.json` bash_allowlist has dead JS entries (npm/node/jest/eslint
+  /tsc — no package.json). → P14/P17.
+- `config.json` `branching_strategy: "phase"` mismatched with
+  flat-workflow practice. → P17.
+- `config.json` `ollama-cloud.base_url: ""` (empty; no `glm` model
+  configured). → P17.
+- `config.json` `frontend-engineer` persona still in `personas[]`
+  (PERSONAS.md:80 says inactive). → P17.
+- `pyproject.toml` version `1.3.0` (stale); coverage source
+  `acdl_platform` (renamed to `core` in v1.6). → P14.
+
+### Persona assessment (v1.14)
+
+The v1.14 milestone is NFR-only (bug fixes, security, tests, docs). The
+active persona roster from v1.11 (PERSONAS.md) carries forward
+unchanged:
+
+- **lead-developer** (active) — coordination; owns the wave ordering +
+  cross-phase dependencies.
+- **backend-engineer** (active) — owns `adapters/`, `core/` (adapter
+  dedup, contract ingestor, regression gate, output publisher).
+- **data-engineer** (active) — owns `terraform/`, `modules/` (ALB fix,
+  static-assets wiring, platform VPC, IAM policy, STANDARDS).
+- **frontend-engineer** (inactive) — no frontend; decks are markdown
+  (lead-developer territory). Stays deactivated per PERSONAS.md:80.
+
+No custom personas needed for v1.14 (no new domains). Territory
+enforcement = `warn` (config.json:167). The v1.14 work is concentrated
+in `adapters/`, `core/`, `terraform/`, `scripts/`, `tests/`, `docs/`,
+`.ciagent/` — all within existing persona territories.

+
+## v1.15 Research Addendum — Nova Rebrand scope audit (2026-07-30)
+
+### Survey method
+
+A thorough, exhaustive codebase survey (via the explore subagent) plus
+targeted `grep -rni` counts. The survey covered 346 tracked files,
+reporting occurrence counts and the mechanical-vs-judgment split per
+category. The full survey is recorded in the planning conversation
+transcript; the binding conclusions are summarized here.
+
+### Finding 1 — Brand string surface area
+
+- **1,465** total `ACDL`/`acdl` occurrences across **205** files.
+- **17** occurrences of the full "Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform"
+  phrase (all prominent titles/headers: README, docs/index, vision,
+  pyproject, decks, .ciagent/*.md).
+- **0** existing references to "nova" (case-insensitive) — **no
+  collision risk**.
+- User-facing (docs/, README, decks, contracts, schemas, module
+  READMEs): high-priority for rebrand.
+- Internal (.ciagent/*.md, tests/, terraform/, scripts/, workflows):
+  mechanical but voluminous.
+
+### Finding 2 — Code identifiers (judgment category)
+
+- **Python package name**: `pyproject.toml` `name = "acdl"` (no `acdl/`
+  package dir exists — source lives in `core/`, `adapters/`; the name is
+  a metadata label). Mechanical rename.
+- **Python file**: `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.py`
+  (+ Checkov registration in `schemas/tagging-standard.json` line 5 +
+  adapter config). Rename file + update registration.
+- **Env var prefixes**: 21 distinct `ACDL_*` prefixes (`ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE`
+  66×, `ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` 40×, `ACDL_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` 37×,
+  `ACDL_REMOTE_STATE_KEY` 22×, `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` 21×, `ACDL_TAG_NAMING`
+  20×, `ACDL_KMS_KEY_ID` 16×, `ACDL_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*` 15× each,
+  `ACDL_SOD_HALT_TOPIC_ARN` 14×, `ACDL_LOCAL_TIER` 13×, etc.). No
+  centralized env loader exists today (scattered `os.environ.get`).
+  D-108: a new `core/env.py` `get_env()` helper centralizes the
+  dual-read fallback.
+- **Workflow `name:`**: `.github/workflows/release.yml` line 11
+  `name: acdl-release` — mechanical.
+
+### Finding 3 — AWS resource names (high-risk migration)
+
+Terraform creates real AWS resources with `acdl-` prefixes. Renaming
+forces destroy+recreate (downtime, data loss for DynamoDB/state bucket).
+D-102: full rename with migration (user-directed).
+
+| Resource | Type | Migration |
+|----------|------|-----------|
+| `acdl-contracts` / `acdl-change-requests` | DynamoDB | scan+copy data, verify row counts |
+| `acdl/github-token` | Secrets Manager | recreate secret, repoint Lambda |
+| `acdl-contract-ingestor` (role/policy/Lambda) | IAM+Lambda | recreate role/Lambda, update trigger |
+| `acdl-sod-halt` | SNS | recreate topic, repoint publisher |
+| `acdl-ecs-sg` | SG | recreate (brief ECS disruption) |
+| `alias/acdl-platform` | KMS alias | repoint alias (cheap) |
+| `acdl-microservice` (cluster/ECR/service/task/role) | ECS+ECR | re-push images, recreate service |
+| `acdl-spike-runner` (user/policy) | IAM | re-bootstrap with new key |
+| `acdl-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1` | S3 state bucket | `terraform init -migrate-state`, back up state JSON |
+| `acdl-alb` (name prefix) | ALB | recreate (brief downtime) |
+
+### Finding 4 — Consumer/infra conventions (judgment category, D-104)
+
+- **AWS tag keys** `acdl:owner|environment|contract|cost-center|ref`
+  (5 keys, ~109 tag assignments) — matched by ABAC session policies.
+  Parallel-tag period (add `nova:*`, swap policy, remove `acdl:*`).
+- **SSM path** `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` (67 refs) — deploy
+  outputs stored here. Migration script copies params, readers updated,
+  old deleted.
+- **Consumer path** `.acdl/contract.yml` (23 refs) — consumer repos
+  depend on this. Renamed `.nova/contract.yml` + migration guide.
+
+### Finding 5 — Docs & decks (mechanical)
+
+- README.md (16), docs/index.md, docs/vision.md, docs/architecture.md,
+  docs/consumer-guide.md (35), docs/modules/index.md (28), all
+  .ciagent/*.md, modules/STANDARDS.md, schemas/README.md,
+  pipelines/README.md, adapters/README.md, terraform/*/README.md.
+- Deck markdown + mermaid `.mmd` sources (5 files) + rendered HTML.
+  PNGs re-exported from edited `.mmd` sources.
+- S&P visual theme (`sp-theme.json`, deck CSS) is **client branding**
+  — D-107: untouched. Only product-brand text (ACDL→Nova) changes.
+- Schema `$id` URLs (`https://acdl.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...`) →
+  `https://nova.cloudinit.dev/schemas/...` (D-110: illustrative, no
+  DNS resolution needed for validation).
+
+### Finding 6 — CI / pipeline / release
+
+- Workflow files mirrored in `.gitea/workflows/` + `.github/workflows/`
+  (modules-lifecycle 31×, deploy 22×, ci 2×, release 3×).
+- `release.yml` release title `ACDL vX.Y.Z` → `Nova vX.Y.Z` (forward
+  only; past releases keep names).
+- Git branches/tags use `milestone/v*` / `phase/*` / `v*` — **no brand
+  name present**, no change needed (D-112: flat-branch convention
+  preserved).
+- config.json `release.gitea.repo` stays `acdl` (D-105: real repo name
+  unchanged; doc URLs illustrative only).
+
+### Finding 7 — External / URLs
+
+- `github.com/acdl/...` (~20 refs in docs + module READMEs +
+  reusable-workflow `uses:` refs) — D-105: illustrative, updated to
+  `nova` for prose. Real GitHub org/repo rename is out of scope.
+- `git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl*` (incl. sister
+  repos `acdl-contracts`, `acdl-evidence`) — updated in prose to `nova*`.
+- README has **no badges** (no shields.io, no img src).
+
+### Finding 8 — Nomenclature / tagline
+
+- "DevSecOps", "New Dawn", "enabler" appear **nowhere** in the repo
+  today — clean insertion, no collisions to reconcile (D-106).
+- Current tagline ("North Star" / "consumers declare intent") is
+  retained; Nova tagline added alongside.
+- "bottleneck" (6 occurrences in deck talking points) — compatible
+  with the Nova "no bottleneck" messaging; left in place.
+
+### Persona assessment (v1.15)
+
+No new personas needed for v1.15 — the rebrand touches existing
+territories (docs, code, terraform, CI, tests). The active roster:
+**lead-developer** (docs/decks/.ciagent meta + verification + migration
+runbooks), **backend-engineer** (core/env.py dual-read helper, contract
+resolver path, Lambda, output_publisher, regression_verify),
+**data-engineer** (terraform resource names/tagging, state bucket
+migration, DynamoDB data migration, ECR re-push, schemas/tagging-standard).
+The **frontend-engineer** remains deactivated (no UI; decks are
+markdown = lead-developer territory). A **security-engineer** persona is
+not activated — the ABAC session-policy + tag-key migration (REQ-162) is
+data-engineer territory (terraform IAM) with lead-developer review.
+Territory enforcement = `warn` (co-authoring expected at the
+core/env.py + terraform boundary, and the contract-resolver +
+deploy-workflow boundary).
+
+### Assumptions logged
+
+- A1 (confidence 0.9): No live AWS access is available during P0–P4
+  execution (the `acdl-spike-runner` IAM user's creds are in
+  `.env.secrets` but live apply/modify/destroy is gated by
+  `NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE` defaulting to plan-only). The terraform changes
+  are validated via `terraform validate`; live apply is exercised by the
+  modules-lifecycle workflow when explicitly set to full. This matches
+  the v1.11–v1.14 established pattern.
+- A2 (confidence 0.85): `.env.secrets` contains live rotated AWS
+  credentials keyed by `ACDL_AWS_*`. P2 renames the KEYS only (values
+  stay). The runtime reads via the new `core/env.py` dual-read helper
+  (`NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` preferred, `ACDL_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
+  fallback), so no re-rotation is needed until P5 removes the fallback.
+- A3 (confidence 0.8): The Gitea release API (`POST .../releases`) is
+  reachable for `v1.14.x` tags (the v1.14 milestone shipped releases
+  through `v1.13.24` / release id 285). P0 ship targets `v1.14.0`.

+(Kyverno `--kube-version`, orphan artifacts), adds test coverage for 7
+untested scripts, and refines all documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md
+v1.11–v1.14 addenda, stale `@v1.6–1.9` → `@v1.13` refs, COST.md/GRILL/
+IAM_POLICY.md sync, STANDARDS.md reconciliation).
+
+**Milestone type:** NFR (all phases fix/test/docs/chore/refactor). The
+final phase's patch IS the release — no separate milestone tag. Tags run
+on the v1.13.x line: `v1.13.3` (P0) → `v1.13.4..v1.13.23` (P1–P20) →
+`v1.13.24` (P21 final = milestone release).
+
+**Wave ordering:**
+- Wave 1 (P1–P6): bug fixes — P1 before P2 (composition depends on dedup
+  correctness); P3–P6 independent.
+- Wave 2 (P7–P12): security — P8 before P9 (externalized account ID for
+  IAM ARNs); rest independent.
+- Wave 3 (P13–P17): stub/test/CI/hygiene — P15 benefits from P7 landing
+  first; P17 after P14 (both touch config.json).
+- Wave 4 (P18–P20): standards/docs/VPC — P19 last (reflects all prior
+  phases).
+
+### Phase P1 — adapter-dedup-diagnostic (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P1-1 from the v1.11 review. The adapter dedup loop
+  (`adapters/terraform/adapter.py:159-170`) silently drops resources whose
+  module is not in the registry — a typo'd `module` field vanishes without
+  diagnostic. Raise `ValueError` (preserving the pre-dedup contract) so the
+  misconfiguration surfaces instead of being silently omitted.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-135
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - A resource with `module: nonexistent@1.0.0` raises `ValueError` with a
+    descriptive message, not a silent drop.
+  - Existing registered-module dedup behavior preserved (multi-resource L1s
+    still merge into one `module "x" { ... }` block).
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P2 — static-assets-wiring-fix (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P1-2. `modules/l2/static-assets/composition.json`
+  drops `default_ttl`/`max_ttl`/`price_class`/`viewer_protocol_policy`
+  (accepted by `cloudfront/interface.json` but never wired) and WAF is
+  unconditionally present (no `features`/conditional). Wire the cloudfront
+  inputs; make WAF conditional via a `waf_enabled` feature flag so
+  `examples/complex.yml` is a real modify (adds CDN + WAF), not a no-op
+  re-apply.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-136
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `complex.yml` resolves to a resource set that differs from `simple.yml`
+    (WAF + CDN TTLs present when `waf_enabled: true`, absent when false).
+  - The L2 static-assets lifecycle cell's "modify" step exercises a real
+    terraform diff, not idempotent re-apply.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P3 — lifecycle-script-arg-cleanup (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P1-3. `scripts/run_l2_lifecycle_test.sh` and
+  `run_l2_lifecycle_destroy.sh` advertise `[ci-vpc-outputs.json]` ($3) in
+  their usage strings but never read it (the L2 path uses
+  `terraform_remote_state`, not the file). Remove the vestigial arg or
+  document that the L2 path uses remote state and the arg is
+  accepted-but-ignored for workflow-argument parity with the L1 scripts.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-137
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Usage strings no longer advertise a feature the scripts don't provide,
+    OR a comment explains the L2-uses-remote-state design + parity reason.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P4 — regression-gate-evidence-hardening (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P1-5. `core/regression_verify.py:432-519`
+  CAP-017..022 checks are offline proxies (files exist + contracts
+  resolve) — a module with broken HCL would pass as long as files exist.
+  Add a `terraform validate` step to
+  `_check_lifecycle_module_terraform` so at least HCL syntax is verified
+  at the gate. Tighten the CAPABILITY_INVENTORY wording to "offline proxy;
+  live apply/modify/destroy verified by the modules-lifecycle workflow
+  run, not by this gate."
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-138
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `_check_lifecycle_module_terraform` runs `terraform validate` (or
+    documents why it's too slow + falls back to a syntax probe).
+  - CAPABILITY_INVENTORY + docstrings reflect the offline-proxy caveat
+    honestly.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P5 — adapter-behavior-tests (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P2-2. Add `test_adapter_dedup_merges_same_module`
+  (two resources with the same `module` collapse to one
+  `module "<first_id>" { ... }` block with merged inputs) and
+  `test_adapter_remote_state_key_override` (`ACDL_REMOTE_STATE_KEY`
+  overrides the default `platform/terraform.tfstate` key in the emitted
+  `data terraform_remote_state` block).
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-139
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Both unit tests exist in `tests/test_adapter.py` and pass.
+  - `pytest` count increases; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P6 — alb-name-prefix-fix (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Fix P2-1. `modules/l1/alb/terraform/main.tf:9` uses
+  `name_prefix = "tg-ci-"` (hardcoded literal) which discards `var.name`
+  entirely — the target group name is non-configurable and inconsistent
+  with the LB name. Change to `name_prefix = "${var.name}-"` so the
+  consumer's name prefixes the target group while preserving uniqueness.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-140
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Target group `name_prefix` derives from `var.name`.
+  - `terraform validate` passes for the alb module standalone.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P7 — swallowed-error-hardening (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Narrow 6 over-broad `except ...: pass`/`except
+  Exception:` sites: `core/local_emulators.py:374` (fake_urlopen swallow
+  → network egress risk if patching fails), `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py:157`
+  (GitHub search failure → duplicate issues),
+  `terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py:51` (over-broad → spurious
+  create_bucket), `core/output_publisher.py:100,168`,
+  `terraform/bootstrap/apply_iam_baseline.py:78`. Catch specific
+  `ClientError`/`NoSuch*` exceptions; log + re-raise where silent failure
+  masks a real defect.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-141
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - No bare `except Exception: pass` remains in the targeted files (grep
+    clean for the 6 sites).
+  - Specific exception types caught; errors logged with context.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P8 — account-id-externalization (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Externalize the hardcoded account ID `581513795199`
+  from 15+ sites: `adapters/terraform/adapter.py:125,140`,
+  `terraform/bootstrap/apply_iam_baseline.py:33`,
+  `terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py:33,35`,
+  `scripts/push_consumer_image.py:32`, terraform state-bucket names, ECR
+  image refs. Read from `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` env (code) /
+  `data.aws_caller_identity` (terraform); fall back to env for offline.
+  Keep the COST.md account ID (accepted exposure per P2-4) but centralize
+  the code-side.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-142
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `grep -rn "581513795199" adapters/ scripts/ terraform/ core/` returns
+    0 hits (excluding tests + docs).
+  - `ACDL_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` env read with a clear default/fallback.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P9 — iam-policy-least-privilege (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Scope 6 `Resource: "*"` statements in
+  `terraform/bootstrap/spike_runner_policy.json` (cloudfront, wafv2, kms,
+  iam) to `acdl-*` ARNs. Scope `iam:CreateRole` etc. to
+  `arn:aws:iam::...:role/acdl-*`; scope KMS to
+  `arn:aws:kms:...:key/acdl-*`; narrow CloudFront/WAF where possible.
+  Add a regression test asserting no new `Resource:"*"` on non-global
+  actions.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P8]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-143
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `Resource: "*"` remains only on actions that require it (sts, ce).
+  - IAM/KMS/CloudFront/WAF scoped to `acdl-*` ARNs.
+  - Regression test in `tests/test_iam_policy_baseline.py` asserts the
+    scoping.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P10 — contract-ingestor-identity-validation (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Harden `core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py:221-245`
+  `_validate_caller_identity` — currently best-effort (validates
+  `consumerRepo` format only, doesn't verify the caller owns the repo).
+  Add `contractId` format validation, `environment` enum validation,
+  `error` length cap. Document the ABAC reliance explicitly. Add a
+  spoofing-resistance test.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-144
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `contractId`, `environment`, `error` validated; malformed input
+    rejected with 400.
+  - ABAC reliance documented in the function docstring + ARCHITECTURE.md.
+  - Spoofing-resistance test in `tests/test_contract_ingestor.py` passes.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P11 — schema-input-validation-hardening (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Add `additionalProperties: false` to
+  `schemas/contract.schema.json` + `schemas/environment.schema.json`
+  (currently allows undocumented fields silently). Add `maxItems`/
+  `maxProperties` bounds. Validate `state_backend.bucket` S3 naming
+  rules, `runner_role_arn` ARN format, `vpc_cidr` CIDR format. Add tests
+  asserting rejection of malformed input.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-145
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Both schemas reject undocumented top-level fields.
+  - Format validation (bucket/ARN/CIDR) rejects malformed values.
+  - New tests in `tests/test_environment_schema.py` +
+    `tests/test_contract_schema.py` pass.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P12 — gitignore-credential-hygiene (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** `.gitignore` covers `.env*`/`*.tfstate*` but lacks a
+  credential-pattern catch-all (`*.pem`/`*.key`/`*.p12`/`*.pfx`). Add
+  credential patterns. Add `tests/test_no_secrets_tracked.py` asserting no
+  credential-looking file is tracked by git.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-146
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `.gitignore` has credential-pattern catch-all.
+  - `test_no_secrets_tracked.py` passes (grep `git ls-files` for
+    credential patterns → 0 hits).
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P13 — kyverno-kube-version-resolution (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** Resolve the discarded `--kube-version` flag in
+  `adapters/kyverno/kyverno_adapter.py:11,115-116` (`_ = kube_version`).
+  Either implement version-aware policy selection (select policies by k8s
+  version) or remove the flag and document why it's deferred to the
+  GitOps reconciler roadmap. Resolve the ambiguity either way.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-147
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `--kube-version` is either used (version-aware policy selection) or
+    removed with a documented deferral rationale.
+  - `tests/test_kyverno_adapter.py` updated to match.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P14 — orphan-artifact-and-dead-config-cleanup (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** Clean up orphan artifacts + dead config: the orphan
+  `scripts/__pycache__/verify_deploy_microservice.cpython-312.pyc` (source
+  deleted in v1.11); stale `pyproject.toml` coverage source
+  `acdl_platform` → `core` (renamed in v1.6); `pyproject.toml` version
+  `1.3.0` → current; dead JS allowlist entries in `config.json`
+  (npm/node/jest/eslint/tsc — no package.json).
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-148
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - No orphan `.pyc` for a deleted source file.
+  - `pyproject.toml` coverage source = `core`; version = current.
+  - `config.json` bash_allowlist has no JS-only entries.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P15 — untested-scripts-coverage (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** Add unit tests for 7 scripts with no test coverage:
+  `scripts/seed_uptime_monitors.py`, `scripts/push_consumer_image.py`,
+  `scripts/sync_to_gl.sh`, `scripts/post_stage_comment.sh`,
+  `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`, `terraform/bootstrap/create_state_backend.py`,
+  `terraform/bootstrap/create_iam_user.py`. Mock boto3/subprocess for
+  offline-testable coverage. Add `--check-only`/dry-run modes where
+  missing.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P7]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-149
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Each of the 7 scripts has a corresponding test file with ≥1 passing
+    test.
+  - `pytest` count increases by ≥7; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P16 — workflow-parity-and-script-flags (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** 4 GitHub-only workflows (patterns-plan, platform-test,
+  primitives-plan, release) have no Gitea mirror — either mirror them or
+  document the Gitea limitation. Fix `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh` (only
+  `set -u`, no `-e`/`pipefail`) and `scripts/sync_to_gl.sh` (no `set`
+  flags at all) — add `set -euo pipefail`.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-150
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Gitea workflow parity resolved (mirrored or documented).
+  - `rotate_spike_key.sh` + `sync_to_gl.sh` have `set -euo pipefail`.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P17 — config-and-persona-hygiene (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** Fix `config.json` hygiene: `branching_strategy: "phase"`
+  mismatch with flat-workflow practice; empty `ollama-cloud` base_url (no
+  `glm` model configured); `frontend-engineer` persona `active: false` in
+  config.json (PERSONAS.md:80 already says inactive). Align config.json
+  with PERSONAS.md + actual runtime.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P14]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-151
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `config.json` persona block matches PERSONAS.md (frontend-engineer
+    inactive).
+  - `branching_strategy` reflects actual practice (or documented).
+  - `ollama-cloud` backend configured or documented as intentionally
+    unset.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P18 — module-standards-consistency (Wave 4)
+- **Description:** 3 L1 modules (`ecr`, `ecs-cluster`, `rds`) lack
+  `locals.tf`; `modules/STANDARDS.md` §9.4 requires the full 5-file split
+  but §489-492 allows inlining — internally inconsistent. Either add
+  `locals.tf` to all 3 or reconcile STANDARDS §9.4 with the inline
+  allowance. Remove the stale `TYPE_MAP` reference in §8 (deleted in the
+  v1.11 stateless rewrite).
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-152
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - STANDARDS.md internally consistent (§8 + §9.4 agree).
+  - No stale `TYPE_MAP` reference.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P19 — documentation-sync-v1.14 (Wave 4)
+- **Description:** ARCHITECTURE.md: add v1.11/v1.12/v1.13/v1.14 addenda
+  (stateless adapter, platform VPC, ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE, all v1.14
+  changes; record D-083 deferral explicitly). Bump stale `@v1.6–1.9` →
+  `@v1.13` across `README.md`, `docs/consumer-guide.md` (12 sites),
+  `docs/architecture.md`, `docs/pipeline/`. Sync decks to v1.13.2 reality.
+  Update COST.md window to v1.11–v1.14. Resolve G-005/G-008 in GRILL.md
+  (CAP-017..022 now Verified via lifecycle pipeline; COST.md now exists +
+  covers v1.11+). Update IAM_POLICY.md for v1.12/v1.13/v1.14.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1-P18]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-153
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - ARCHITECTURE.md has v1.11–v1.14 addenda; D-083 deferral recorded.
+  - `grep -rn "@v1\.[6-9]" docs/ README.md` returns 0 hits (bumped to
+    @v1.13).
+  - GRILL G-005/G-008 marked resolved with evidence.
+  - COST.md window covers v1.11–v1.14.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P20 — platform-vpc-parameterization (Wave 4)
+- **Description:** `terraform/platform/main.tf:255` hardcodes
+  `cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"` (not `var.vpc_cidr`); `count = 2` subnets
+  hardcoded (not data-driven AZs). Parameterize; document the
+  `0.0.0.0/0` ingress on port 80 (ALB-fronted, acceptable but should be
+  explicit).
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-154
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - VPC CIDR is a variable (default `10.0.0.0/16`); subnet count is
+    data-driven (`length(data.aws_availability_zones.available)`).
+  - `0.0.0.0/0` ingress documented.
+  - `terraform validate` passes; `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P21 — final-review-ship (Final Phase)
+- **Description:** Multi-persona code review across all v1.14 phases.
+  Audit (reconstruction test, file discipline, branch hygiene, commit
+  discipline). Complete: update REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-135..154 marked
+  complete), ROADMAP.md (v1.14 complete), PROJECT.md. Tag final patch
+  `v1.13.24` (IS the milestone release). Merge `milestone/v1.14` → `main`.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1-P20]
+- **Requirements:** —
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Review: 0 new P0; all P1-1..P1-5 + P2-1..P2-4 resolved.
+  - Audit: clean; reconstruction test passes.
+  - Tag `v1.13.24` created; milestone merged to main.
+
+After Phase P21: milestone COMPLETE — `v1.13.24` IS the v1.14 release.
+

+
+## v1.15 (active — Nova Rebrand, tag `v1.15.4`)
+
+A full rebrand from **ACDL** / "Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform" →
+**Nova** / "The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security as a seamless enabler
+of fast deployments." The rebrand applies across docs, decks, code,
+configs, CI, env var prefixes, the consumer contract path, SSM
+parameter paths, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names — with a staged
+infrastructure migration to avoid breakage. The Nova tagline is added
+alongside (not replacing) the existing "North Star" / "consumers
+declare intent" framing; the S&P Global Energy visual theme
+(`sp-theme.json`) is a client brand and is **not** touched.
+
+**Milestone type:** Major (breaking — consumer-facing path, env var
+prefixes, SSM path, AWS tag keys, and AWS resource names all change).
+Per the branch-strategy precedent (breaking/feature milestones tag on
+their OWN minor line), v1.15 tags run on the **v1.15.x minor line**:
+`v1.15.0` (P0) → `v1.15.1..v1.15.4` (P1–P4) → `v1.15.4` (P5 final =
+milestone release). (G-104 binding.)
+
+**Brand mapping:**
+- Name: `ACDL` / `Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform` → `Nova`
+- Tagline (added): "The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security as a seamless
+  enabler of fast deployments"
+- Env var prefix: `ACDL_*` → `NOVA_*` (dual-read fallback in P2;
+  removed in P5)
+- Consumer path: `.acdl/contract.yml` → `.nova/contract.yml`
+- SSM path: `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` →
+  `/nova/{env}/{contractId}/{output}`
+- AWS tag keys: `acdl:owner|environment|contract|cost-center|ref` →
+  `nova:*`
+- AWS resource names: `acdl-*` → `nova-*` (with migration, P4)
+- Illustrative URLs in docs: `github.com/acdl/...` →
+  `github.com/nova/...` (prose only; real repo name unchanged)
+- Gitea release titles going forward: `ACDL vX.Y.Z` → `Nova vX.Y.Z`
+- S&P visual theme: unchanged (client branding)
+
+**Wave ordering:**
+- Wave 1 (P1): docs/decks/prose — no runtime impact; establishes new
+  vocabulary. REQ-155, REQ-156, REQ-157.
+- Wave 2 (P2): code + env vars + consumer path — rename in code with a
+  dual-read env fallback so deployments don't break during the
+  transition window. REQ-158, REQ-159, REQ-160.
+- Wave 3 (P3): SSM path + tag keys — SSM: copy `/acdl/...` →
+  `/nova/...`, update readers, delete old. Tag keys: parallel-tag
+  period (`nova:*` added, ABAC policy swapped, `acdl:*` removed).
+  REQ-161, REQ-162.
+- Wave 4 (P4): AWS resource names — the big migration (KMS alias, SNS,
+  SG, Lambda, DynamoDB data migration, ECR re-push, IAM re-bootstrap,
+  state bucket migration, ALB recreate). Maintenance window + rollback
+  runbook. REQ-163.
+- Wave 5 (P5): final-review-ship — remove dual-read fallback, consumer
+  migration guide finalized, review + audit + milestone ship. REQ-164.
+
+### Phase P1 — docs-decks-prose (Wave 1)
+- **Description:** Rebrand all prose, titles, headers, comments,
+  deck markdown sources, mermaid `.mmd` sources, `pyproject.toml`
+  name/description, and `release.yml` release-title prefix from
+  `ACDL`/`Agentic Cloud Delivery Platform` → `Nova`. Add the Nova
+  tagline ("The New Dawn of DevSecOps — security as a seamless enabler
+  of fast deployments") to the README header, both deck title slides,
+  and `docs/vision.md` — alongside the existing "North Star" framing.
+  Re-export the mermaid PNG diagrams so committed PNGs match new
+  labels. Re-render the deck HTML. Update illustrative URLs in docs
+  (`github.com/acdl/...` → `github.com/nova/...`,
+  `git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl*` → `.../nova*` for
+  prose). Ship a consumer migration guide (`docs/NOVA_MIGRATION.md`)
+  announcing the `.acdl/`→`.nova/` path, `ACDL_*`→`NOVA_*` env vars,
+  `/acdl/`→`/nova/` SSM path, `acdl:*`→`nova:*` tag keys, and
+  `acdl-*`→`nova-*` AWS resource names changes coming in P2–P4.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** —
+- **Requirements:** REQ-155, REQ-156, REQ-157
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `grep -rni "ACDL\|Agentic Cloud Delivery" README.md docs/ .ciagent/*.md`
+    returns 0 hits (except historical narrative marked as historical).
+  - `pyproject.toml` `name` = `nova`; `description` mentions Nova.
+  - `release.yml` release title prefix is `Nova `.
+  - Both decks' title-slide subtitle is
+    `Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps`; mermaid `.mmd` sources use
+    `Nova`; PNGs re-exported; HTML re-rendered.
+  - `docs/vision.md` and README header carry the Nova tagline
+    alongside the North Star.
+  - `docs/NOVA_MIGRATION.md` exists and lists the 5 breaking changes.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P2 — code-envvars-consumer-path (Wave 2)
+- **Description:** Rename
+  `adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/acdl_tagging.py` →
+  `nova_tagging.py` (+ Checkov custom-rule registration in
+  `schemas/tagging-standard.json` + adapter config). Rename all 21
+  `ACDL_*` env var prefixes → `NOVA_*` across `scripts/`, `core/`,
+  `adapters/`, `tests/`, workflows (`.gitea/`, `.github/`), `.env`,
+  `.env.secrets` (key names only — values stay), and consumer docs.
+  Implement a **dual-read fallback** (`NOVA_X` preferred, fall back to
+  `ACDL_X`) in the env/config loader so deployments don't break during
+  the transition window. Rename the consumer on-disk contract path

+  (rename keys `ACDL_*` → `NOVA_*`, values stay).
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-158, REQ-159, REQ-160
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - `nova_tagging.py` exists; `acdl_tagging.py` removed; Checkov
+    registration updated; rule enforces `nova:*` tag keys (tag-key
+    enforcement of `nova:*` lands here; existing resources still carry
+    `acdl:*` until P3 parallel-tag — rule warns during P2).
+  - No `ACDL_` env var references remain in code/scripts/workflows/tests
+    except the dual-read fallback in the loader + `.env.secrets` legacy
+    comment.
+  - Dual-read fallback implemented and unit-tested.
+  - Contract resolver reads `.nova/contract.yml`; deploy workflow
+    checks out `.nova/`; docs updated.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P3 — ssm-tagkeys (Wave 3)
+- **Description:** SSM path migration: rename the parameter path prefix
+  `/acdl/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` →
+  `/nova/{env}/{contractId}/{output}` across `core/output_publisher`,
+  the contract resolver, and consumer docs. Add a migration script
+  (`scripts/migrate_ssm_paths.py`) that copies existing `/acdl/...`
+  parameters → `/nova/...`, then readers are updated, then old
+  parameters are deleted. Tag key migration: add `nova:*` tags to all
+  AWS resources (parallel-tag period), update the ABAC session policies
+  to match `nova:*`, update `nova_tagging.py` to enforce `nova:*`
+  (hard, no warn), then remove `acdl:*` tags once consumers are
+  verified. Terraform tagging updated to emit `nova:*`.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P2]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-161, REQ-162
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - SSM readers use `/nova/...`; migration script copies + deletes;
+    test asserts new path.
+  - `nova_tagging.py` enforces `nova:*` (hard fail on `acdl:*`).
+  - ABAC session policies match `nova:*`; terraform emits `nova:*` tags.
+  - `acdl:*` tags removed from all resources (verified via `aws` CLI or
+    documented deferred if no live AWS access).
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P4 — aws-resource-migration (Wave 4)
+- **Description:** Rename all `acdl-*` AWS resources → `nova-*` via
+  terraform with a staged migration: KMS alias `alias/acdl-platform` →
+  `alias/nova-platform` (repoint), SNS `acdl-sod-halt` →
+  `nova-sod-halt` (recreate), SG `acdl-ecs-sg` → `nova-ecs-sg`
+  (recreate), Lambda `acdl-contract-ingestor` →
+  `nova-contract-ingestor` (recreate), DynamoDB `acdl-contracts`/
+  `acdl-change-requests` → `nova-contracts`/`nova-change-requests`
+  (scan+copy data migration, verify row counts, keep old tables until
+  verified), ECR `acdl-microservice` → `nova-microservice` (re-push
+  images), IAM user/policy `acdl-spike-runner` → `nova-spike-runner`
+  (re-bootstrap with new key), state bucket `acdl-tfstate-...` →
+  `nova-tfstate-...` (`terraform init -migrate-state` to new backend,
+  state JSON backed up first), ALB name prefix `acdl-alb` → `nova-alb`
+  (recreate, brief downtime). Publish a maintenance window + rollback
+  runbook (`docs/NOVA_AWS_MIGRATION.md`). For the offline/local tier,
+  the terraform `name`/`resource` labels change so `terraform validate`
+  passes; live apply/modify/destroy is exercised by the
+  modules-lifecycle workflow when `ACDL_LIFECYCLE_MODE` (now
+  `NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE`) is set to full.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P3]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-163
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - All terraform resource names/labels use `nova-*`; `terraform
+    validate` passes for platform/microservice/ci-vpc.
+  - State bucket name → `nova-tfstate-...`; `terraform init
+    -migrate-state` documented + tested offline.
+  - DynamoDB data-migration script exists (scan+copy, row-count
+    verify).
+  - `docs/NOVA_AWS_MIGRATION.md` runbook exists (maintenance window,
+    rollback steps).
+  - `grep -rn "acdl-" terraform/` returns 0 hits.
+  - `pytest` passes; `run_ci.sh` exits 0.
+
+### Phase P5 — final-review-ship (Final Phase)
+- **Description:** Multi-persona code review across all v1.15 phases.
+  Audit (reconstruction test, file discipline, branch hygiene, commit
+  discipline). Remove the dual-read env var fallback (`ACDL_*`→`NOVA_*`)
+  once all consumers are migrated; finalize the consumer migration
+  guide; `nova_tagging.py` no longer accepts `acdl:*` tag keys. Complete:
+  update REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-155..164 marked complete), ROADMAP.md
+  (v1.15 complete), PROJECT.md. Tag final patch `v1.14.5` (IS the
+  milestone release). Merge `milestone/v1.15-nova` → `main`.
+- **Status:** pending
+- **Depends on:** [P1-P4]
+- **Requirements:** REQ-164
+- **Success Criteria:**
+  - Review: 0 new P0; all P1+ flagged or auto-fixed.
+  - Audit: clean; reconstruction test passes.
+  - Dual-read fallback removed; `nova_tagging.py` hard-fails `acdl:*`.
+  - Tag `v1.15.4` created; milestone merged to main.
+
+After Phase P5: milestone COMPLETE — `v1.15.4` IS the v1.15 release.

+# Gitea Workflows — Limitation Documentation (v1.14, REQ-150)
+
+## Shared workflows (byte-identical Gitea + GitHub)
+
+These 3 workflows exist in both `.gitea/workflows/` and `.github/workflows/`
+and are byte-identical (asserted by `tests/test_pipeline_contract.py`):
+
+- `ci.yml` — lint + test + check-only (runs on every PR)
+- `deploy.yml` — reusable deploy workflow (invoked by consumer repos)
+- `modules-lifecycle.yml` — L1 + L2 module lifecycle pipeline (plan-only
+  default, full on workflow_dispatch override)
+
+## GitHub-only workflows (no Gitea mirror)
+
+These 4 workflows exist only in `.github/workflows/`:
+
+- `platform-test.yml` — PR pipeline: lint + unit + integration + schema
+  validation. Uses GitHub Actions features (reusable workflow composition,
+  environment protection) not available in Gitea Actions.
+- `primitives-plan.yml` — PR plan-only matrix over all L1 primitives. Uses
+  GitHub matrix strategy + `terraform plan` against live AWS.
+- `patterns-plan.yml` — PR plan-only matrix over all L2 modules. Same
+  pattern as primitives-plan.
+- `release.yml` — release job on merge to main: computes next semver,
+  creates + updates MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH / MAJOR.MINOR / MAJOR floating tags,
+  creates a GitHub release. GitHub-only by design (Gitea releases are
+  created via the ship workflow's API call, not a workflow).
+
+## Why no Gitea mirror
+
+Gitea Actions (act_runner) has limited support for reusable workflow
+composition, environment protection, and the `gh` CLI used by the release
+job. The 3 shared workflows are the ones that need to run on both forges
+(CI + deploy + lifecycle). The 4 GitHub-only workflows are the
+production-grade platform pipelines that run on GitHub Actions; Gitea is
+the dev/integration forge. Mirroring them would require feature parity
+that Gitea Actions does not currently provide.
+
+This is a documented limitation, not a defect. A future milestone may
+add Gitea mirrors if act_runner gains the required features.
