## Method
The clarify stage identifies ambiguities in the v1.28 specification and
resolves them at full autonomy. The v1.28 spec is the user-provided
"Universal Feature Specification — v1.18 CLI Canonicalization + Identity
Layer," re-mapped to v1.28 (milestone number, tag line, and all
ID namespaces) per the user-approved plan. Each ambiguity gets a
decision ID (D-226+, continuing from v1.27's D-214..D-225), a resolution,
a confidence score, and a rationale.
The clarify stage identifies ambiguities in the v1.30 specification
(REQ-372 v1.0, locked 2026-08-20) and resolves them at full autonomy.
The spec is the user-provided "REQ-372 — Nova Leadership Presentation
Deck." Each ambiguity gets a decision ID (D-241+, continuing from
v1.29's D-232..D-240), a resolution, a confidence score, and a
rationale.
---
## Prior-conversation resolutions (already locked, restated for the record)
These were resolved by the user-approved re-mapping plan in the
conversation that spawned v1.28. They are load-bearing for v1.28
execution.
These were resolved by the user in the pre-run planning conversation
that spawned v1.30. They are load-bearing for v1.30 execution.
### Q-P1 — The source spec is titled "v1.18" but v1.18 already shipped. What milestone is this?
### Q-M1 — The cover note/spec say "v1.29.x" but the checkpoint says v1.29 is complete and active_milestone is v1.30. What is the milestone number?
**Resolution:** Re-map the spec's *content* (CLI Canonicalization +
Identity Layer) to **v1.28**, the next milestone after v1.27 (complete).
Tags run on the **v1.27.x** line (P0 = `v1.27.0`). Milestone branch:
`milestone/v1.28-cli-identity`.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Re-map to v1.28"). **Decision:** n/a (milestone identity, not a D-ID).
**Resolution:** The milestone is **v1.30**. The cover note's "v1.29.x"
is the **tag line** (per run.md branch strategy, tags run on the
previous minor's patch line: milestone v1.30 → tags v1.29.1,
v1.29.2, v1.29.3). The milestone branch is
`milestone/v1.30-leadership-deck`. v1.29 is complete (merged to main
`9dc5669`, tag `v1.28.6`).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Milestone v1.30, tags v1.29.x").
**Decision:** n/a (milestone identity, not a D-ID).
### Q-P2 — The spec's "locked inputs" (D-NEW-26, kj engine, Nova-idp, INV-63/64/65, CAP-025..030, REQ-001..031) don't exist in the repo. How to handle?
### Q-M2 — The cover note says `scripts/render_pptx.py docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.md` but render_pptx.py expects `{deck}-marp.md` naming. How to resolve?
**Resolution:** Author them fresh in this milestone's CLARIFY/RESEARCH as
**D-226..D-231, INV-12..17, CAP-033..038, REQ-323..353**. The `kj` engine
is mapped to the existing **kyverno-json** engine (INV-4 swappable) — no
new engine is built. CAP/INV/REQ IDs are re-allocated to avoid collisions
with shipped history (CAP-025..032 and INV-1..11 are blockchain/pilot).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Re-map to v1.28"). **Decision:** D-227 (kj→kyverno-json), plus the ID-allocation block in REQUIREMENTS.md.
**Resolution:** Author the source as
`docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` to fit the existing
`-marp.md` pipeline convention. Narrowly extend `render_pptx.py` to
accept an explicit source `.md` path + `--output` filename, and to
render a right-aligned footer textbox on every slide (python-pptx
does not read the Marp `footer:` directive). The output is
`nova-leadership-deck.pptx` per spec REQ-372.2. Formalized as D-242.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Author source as
nova-leadership-deck-marp.md, extend render_pptx.py").
**Decision:** D-242.
### Q-P3 — The spec claims a "Cognito drop." No Cognito exists in the repo. What does NFR-5 mean?
### Q-M3 — The post-v1.29 STATE.md intake (assumption 3) says the leadership deck "is a compression, not a rewrite" of the 23-slide citizen-developer deck. The cover note + spec explicitly forbid compression. How to handle?
**Resolution:** NFR-5 (no AWS-managed identity in the path) is a
**greenfield constraint**, not a migration. Nova-idp is built fresh; no
Cognito/IAM Identity Center is *introduced*. The "drop" framing is
aspirational language from the source spec, not a literal removal.
**Confidence:** 1.0. **Decision:** D-226 (recorded below; NFR-5 restated
as a greenfield constraint in INV-15).
**Resolution:** Override the stale intake assumption. The leadership
deck is a **discrete, hand-authored artifact** — NOT a compression.
The existing citizen-developer deck
(`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`) remains untouched. The
spec §2.2 + cover note forbid compression/mirroring; the Slide
Content Map is hand-authored content, not derived. Update STATE.md
intake assumption 3 to reflect the discrete-artifact decision.
Formalized as D-241.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Override with spec's
discrete-artifact decision").
**Decision:** D-241.
### Q-M4 — The smoke test (REQ-372.8f) must assert PPTX file existence. Given the render environment limitations, should the PPTX-existence check be a hard fail or a conditional skip?
**Resolution:** **Hard fail** if `.pptx` absent. The deck must be
rendered before ship. The render environment is resolved (python-pptx
installed via user-site `pip install --user --break-system-packages`;
no Chromium needed since python-pptx is the render path, not Marp
CLI). If the environment cannot render, that is a ship blocker to
resolve — not a reason to weaken the gate.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Hard fail if .pptx absent").
**Decision:** n/a (gate severity, not a D-ID — recorded in PLAN.md).
---
## Open questions from the spec's §7 (auto-resolved at full autonomy)
### Q1 — Argon2 native dependency in Lambda runtime
### Q1 — Specific meeting date inside August 2026
`argon2-cffi` has a C extension that may not build cleanly in the Lambda
Python 3.12 runtime.
**Spec context:** The presentation is in August 2026, but no specific
day is named. Slide 7 references "Infrastructure & Operations
leadership" without naming a day.
**Resolution (D-228):** Use `argon2-cffi` with bundled wheels; if the
extension fails to load, fall back to the pure-Python implementation. If
both fail, document the Fargate migration path for the auth Lambda.
CAP-036 covers end-to-end verification.
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Rationale:** Bundled wheels are the standard
workaround for Lambda native deps; the pure-Python fallback is a safe
degradation. Fargate is the escape hatch if Lambda's runtime is
fundamentally incompatible. RESEARCH will validate wheel availability for
Python 3.12 + the Lambda execution environment.
**Impact if wrong:** Auth Lambda migrates to Fargate, adding ~1 week to P2.
**Resolution:** Anchor to **month-only** (August 2026). No specific
day in the deck text. November 2026 is the runway anchor (~90 days
from August 2026).
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Impact if wrong:** Very low — the meeting is
what it is; the deck text doesn't depend on a specific day.
**Decision:** D-243 (date anchor discipline: month-only).
### Q2 — PAT revocation propagation latency
### Q2 — Explicit non-compression of the existing citizen-developer deck
The 60-second SLO (NFR-4) depends on whether the token-vend Lambda reads
PAT revocation state from DynamoDB on every request (eventually
consistent reads) or via a cached/denylist mechanism.
**Spec context:** The two decks (leadership + citizen-developer)
remain discrete artifacts. The existing 23-slide
`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md` is not compressed or
modified.
**Resolution (D-229):** Read-on-every-request with strongly consistent
reads on the PAT hash table. Cost is acceptable given expected request
volume (token vending is not a hot path — it precedes a deploy, not every
request). REV-351 verifies the SLO in CI.
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Rationale:** Strongly consistent DynamoDB reads
have single-digit-ms latency at expected volume; the 60s SLO has >10x
headroom. A cache layer adds invalidation complexity that the SLO does
not require.
**Impact if wrong:** If read latency exceeds 60s under load, introduce a
DynamoDB TTL + cache layer; SLO must be re-verified.
**Resolution:** Document the discrete-artifact constraint in
REQ-372.9 (related-artifacts header comment) + D-241 (this file) +
D-241 record in PROJECT.md at ship (REQ-372.11). Leave the existing
citizen-developer deck untouched. The cover note's hard scope rules
("Do not modify `nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`") are
binding.
**Confidence:** 1.0. **Impact if wrong:** None for this milestone.
**Decision:** D-241 (restated — the discrete-artifact decision is the
same as Q-M3's override).
### Q3 — JWKS endpoint: Lambda function URL vs. API Gateway
### Q3 — Assumption: existing `scripts/render_pptx.py` accepts S&P theme directives and Marp speaker notes without modification
A function URL is simpler and cheaper but lacks throttling, WAF, and
custom domains out of the box.
**Spec context:** The render pipeline is existing; the spec assumes
it works for the new deck. If a theme limitation forces a renderer
change, scope narrowly and update `render_pptx.py` separately as a
non-REQ-372 task.
**Resolution (D-230):** Start with a Lambda function URL behind a custom
domain; rate limiting configured at the DNS/CDN layer. API Gateway
migration deferred to v1.19+ if throttling requirements grow.
**Confidence:** 0.80. **Rationale:** The JWKS endpoint is public-key
only (no secrets); the threat surface is low. Function URL + CDN rate-
limiting covers the v1.28 volume. API Gateway is over-engineering until
traffic patterns are known.
**Impact if wrong:** If throttling becomes a requirement, API Gateway
migration adds ~3-5 days.
**Resolution (confirmed by research):** The existing `render_pptx.py`
has two gaps for REQ-372: (a) it expects a `{deck}` arg and reads
`{deck}-marp.md` / writes `{deck}-python.pptx` — it does not accept
an explicit source path or custom output filename; (b) it does not
read the Marp `footer:` directive (it skips HTML comments at lines
366-379 and never adds a footer textbox). Speaker notes (HTML
comments) are skipped entirely — acceptable for REQ-372.4 (smoke test
checks source word counts, not PPTX-embedded notes). The narrow
extension per D-242 addresses (a) and (b). No other renderer change
is needed. The extension is a prerequisite, scoped separately from
REQ-372 per spec §3.3 Edge 2.
**Confidence:** 0.92. **Impact if wrong:** Small follow-up; doesn't
change milestone scope.
**Decision:** D-242 (restated).
### Q4 — Mode resolver precedence with invalid `NOVA_CLIENT_MODE` value
### Q4 — Assumption: the 18-month runway shape (α–δ) is acceptable as drafted to I&O leadership
What happens if the env var is set to something other than `agent` or
`interactive` (e.g., `NOVA_CLIENT_MODE=auto`)?
**Spec context:** Slides 6 + 7 rehearse both architecture-load and
political-cover framings. The worked-example granularity was
confirmed by the PO.
**Resolution (D-226):** Invalid env var values are ignored, falling
through to credential type. A warning is logged. Behavior is documented
in the `nova-cli` README. This is a sub-clause of the mode-resolution
priority decision.
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Rationale:** Ignoring + warning is the least
surprising behavior for an operator debugging mode issues. Failing hard
would block legitimate workflows that set a stale/typo'd env var.
**Impact if wrong:** Operators debugging mode issues may be confused;
non-blocking.
### Q5 — Service-account PAT vs. developer PAT in the same session
What if both credential types are available (e.g., a developer explicitly
exports a service-account PAT)?
**Resolution (D-226):** The most recently acquired credential wins.
Documented in `nova auth login` output. The credential type is what
drives mode resolution (INV-14), so the operator sees which mode was
selected and why.
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Rationale:** "Most recent wins" is the simplest
deterministic rule that matches operator mental models of "I just logged
in as X." The audit event records the winning credential type, so the
selection is traceable.
**Impact if wrong:** Mode selection may surprise the operator; non-
blocking, but `nova auth status` must make the active credential explicit.
### Q6 — ABAC policy ownership and versioning
`platform/abac/token-vend.policy` is referenced, but who owns changes?
How are policy versions tracked in audit?
**Resolution (D-231):** Policy changes require PR review; the policy
version (git SHA) is recorded in every token-vend audit event. Owner:
Platform Security. The policy file lives in the platform repo at
`platform/abac/token-vend.policy` and is reviewed like any other
production config.
**Confidence:** 0.90. **Rationale:** Git SHA is the natural version
identifier for a repo-resident policy; recording it in the audit event
makes every allow/deny decision reconstructable to the exact policy text.
**Impact if wrong:** Untracked policy changes could lead to unexpected
allow/deny decisions in production, undermining audit defensibility.
**Resolution:** Accept the α–δ shape as drafted. Slides 6 + 7 are the
only slide-by-slide revisions that might be needed if leadership
pushes back; everything else is locked. No spec change required
unless the architectural claim set shifts (spec §3.3 Edge 3).
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Impact if wrong:** Slide 6 and slide 7 are
the only revisions; everything else is locked.
**Decision:** n/a (acceptance, not a D-ID — the shape is in the
locked Slide Content Map).

## Grounding gaps surfaced in pre-flight (auto-resolved)
## Decisions (locked, full autonomy — load-bearing for v1.30)
### G1 — The `kj` engine does not exist; the spec treats it as locked.
### D-241 — Leadership deck is discrete, hand-authored, NOT a compression
**Resolution (D-227):** The token-vend Lambda uses the existing
**kyverno-json** engine (INV-4 swappable) as the ABAC evaluator. The
policy at `platform/abac/token-vend.policy` is a kyverno-json policy.
No new `kj` engine is built in v1.28. If a distinct `kj` engine is
desired later, it is a separate research spike (not this milestone).
**Confidence:** 0.95. **Rationale:** The repo already has a swappable
policy engine (INV-4) implemented as kyverno-json. Building a second
engine to do the same job violates the swappable-engine invariant's
spirit. kyverno-json's `evaluate` semantics cover the spec's ABAC needs
(subject, claims, resource, environment → allow/deny).
**Impact if wrong:** If the user actually wants a new `kj` engine, v1.28
scope expands significantly (engine design + implementation + migration).
This was flagged as caveat #3 in the approved plan; the recommended path
(kyverno-json) is locked here.
**Q-M3 / Q2.** The leadership deck is a **discrete, hand-authored
artifact** — NOT a compression of the existing 23-slide
citizen-developer pitch
(`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`). This overrides the
post-v1.29 STATE.md intake assumption 3 ("is a compression, not a
rewrite"). The existing citizen-developer deck remains untouched.
The spec §2.2 + cover note forbid compression/mirroring; the Slide
Content Map is hand-authored content, not derived. Recorded in
PROJECT.md at ship (REQ-372.11).
**Confidence:** 1.0.
### G2 — The spec's INV-18..21, INV-34, INV-63/64/65 don't exist.
### D-242 — Narrow render_pptx.py extension (path arg + custom output + footer textbox)
**Resolution:** Re-allocated as **INV-12..INV-17** (see REQUIREMENTS.md
§v1.28 Invariants). The 1:1 mapping:
- INV-63 (mode observability) → INV-12
- INV-64 (mode determinism) → INV-13
- INV-65 (credential type encodes role) → INV-14
- INV-18..21 (attestation invariants) → INV-15 (no AWS-managed identity),
INV-16 (password storage), INV-17 (ABAC discipline). The spec's
attestation invariants INV-18..21 are partially covered by existing
invariants (INV-6 immutable audit) + INV-17; the JWS-from-PAT behavior
(REQ-332) is a requirement, not a separate invariant, in this mapping.
- INV-34 (MFA enforcement) → deferred to v1.21+ (out of scope per §2.2);
no INV allocated in v1.28.
**Confidence:** 0.85. **Rationale:** The mapping preserves the spec's
intent without colliding with the repo's INV-1..11. INV-34 (MFA) is
explicitly deferred per the spec's own §2.2 out-of-scope table.
**Impact if wrong:** If the user wants the exact INV-18..21 semantics as
separate invariants, INV-12..17 can be re-numbered; non-blocking.
**Q-M2 / Q3.** The existing `scripts/render_pptx.py` is narrowly
extended to: (a) accept an explicit source `.md` path + `--output`
filename (honouring the cover note's invocation pattern), and (b)
render a right-aligned footer textbox on every slide with the exact
string `Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations` (python-pptx
does not read the Marp `footer:` directive; REQ-372.5 requires the
footer on every rendered slide). The source is authored as
`nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` to fit the existing `-marp.md`
pipeline convention; the output is `nova-leadership-deck.pptx` per
spec REQ-372.2. This extension is a non-REQ-372 prerequisite per
spec §3.3 Edge 2 ("scope narrowly and update `render_pptx.py`
separately"). No other renderer change (speaker notes are not
embedded in the PPTX — acceptable; smoke test checks source word
counts).
**Confidence:** 0.92.
### G3 — The spec's CAP-025..030 collide with blockchain/pilot CAPs.
### D-243 — Date anchor discipline: month-only (August 2026 present, November 2026 runway)
**Resolution:** Re-allocated as **CAP-033..CAP-038** (see REQUIREMENTS.md
§v1.28 + REQ-352). The 1:1 mapping:
- CAP-025 (CLI subcommand surface) → CAP-033
- CAP-026 (subcommand delegates to core/) → CAP-034
- CAP-027 (layer matches wheel) → CAP-035
- CAP-028 (Nova-idp auth flow) → CAP-036
- CAP-029 (token-vend signs via KMS) → CAP-037
- CAP-030 (PAT issuance + revocation) → CAP-038
**Confidence:** 1.0. **Rationale:** Existing CAP-025..032 are
blockchain/pilot capabilities (STATE.md); re-use would corrupt the
capability registry. The re-allocated IDs are the next available.
**Impact if wrong:** None — this is a numbering decision, not a semantic
one.
### G4 — The spec's REQ-001..031 collide / don't exist.
**Resolution:** Re-allocated as **REQ-323..REQ-353** (1:1 with the spec's
REQ-001..031). Full text in REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.28. Max existing REQ =
REQ-322.
**Confidence:** 1.0. **Rationale:** Same as G3 — avoid collision, use
next available range.
### G5 — `platform/abac/`, `nova/` subcommand dir, `nova-idp-*` Lambdas don't exist.
**Resolution:** These are **greenfield deliverables** of v1.28 execution
phases, not pre-existing "locked architectures." RESEARCH will design
them; PLAN will sequence them; EXECUTE will build them. The spec's
"Operating Principle 1" (incremental delivery) is honored — v1.28 is
net-new work.
**Confidence:** 1.0. **Rationale:** The spec itself describes these as
new ("introducing Nova-idp"). The mis-framing was in calling them
"locked" — they are locked in *scope*, not in *prior existence*.
**Impact if wrong:** None — this is a framing correction.
**Q1.** August 2026 is a **month-only** presentation anchor (no
specific day). November 2026 is the runway anchor (~90 days from
August 2026). Slide 7 references "Infrastructure & Operations
leadership" without naming a specific day. No spec change required
unless the architectural claim set shifts (spec §3.3 Edge 3).
**Confidence:** 0.95.

The post-v1.29 STATE.md intake (line ~526, Agent Assumptions, item 3)
states: "The 23-slide existing deck is the source material — the
≤7-slide leadership deck is a compression, not a rewrite."
**Override (D-241):** This assumption is **replaced**. The leadership
deck is a discrete, hand-authored artifact — NOT a compression. The
existing citizen-developer deck remains untouched. The override is
recorded in this CLARIFY.md (D-241) and will be reflected in STATE.md
at the v1.30 ship wave (CAP-042 row + intake assumption correction).
---
## Assumptions logged (full autonomy, no human escalation)
## Polish-phase decisions (D-244, D-245, D-246 — full autonomy)
1. **CodeArtifact is provisionable** in AWS account `581513795199` (the
pilot account). RESEARCH will confirm IAM permissions + repository
creation. If not, v1.28 falls back to a private PyPI server or a
Gitea-hosted wheel index; the CLI subcommand surface (REQ-324) and
identity layer (REQ-333+) are unaffected.
2. **Python 3.12** is the target runtime for both the CLI wheel and the
Lambda functions (spec §4 REQ-004.3). The repo's current Python
version will be confirmed in RESEARCH; if it differs, the CLI pins
3.12 and Lambda uses the 3.12 runtime regardless.
3. **KMS asymmetric signing** (RSA-2048 or ECDSA P-256) is available in
the target account. RESEARCH will confirm. If only symmetric KMS is
available, the token-vend Lambda uses symmetric signing + a public-key
publication step (less ideal, but functional); INV-15 is unaffected.
4. **The Forge action** (REQ-326) is the existing `nova cli-action`
pattern, extended to both GitHub and Gitea marketplaces. The repo's
current Forge/Gitea workflow conventions (`.gitea/workflows/`,
`deploy.yml@v1.25`) are the baseline.
5. **MFA/TOTP** code path ships in v1.28 (per spec §2.2) but enforcement
for prod/dr is deferred to v1.21+. This is a doc/test-only path in
v1.28 — no enforcement gate.
The first draft (v1.29.3) passed all 12 REQs but the rendered PPTX
has 7 polish issues (vertical imbalance, text clipping, double bullet
markers, no visual variety, near-invisible footer, slide-6 red wall,
blockquote grey). The user requested: (1) polish all 7 issues, (2)
add a "What works now" emphasis to slide 7, (3) generate mermaid
diagrams for every slide. These decisions record the deviations from
prior binding decisions.
### D-244 — Slide 1 becomes a black-background cover (overrides grill G-1)
**Polish issue #4.** Grill G-1 locked "all 7 slides as white content
slides." The user approved making slide 1 a black-background cover
(strong opener for a live leadership presentation) while keeping
slides 2-7 as white content slides. The on-slide body text from the
Slide Content Map is preserved verbatim — only the visual treatment
(background + text color) changes. REQ-372.7's "deviation requires
CLARIFY" clause applies to *content* deviations; this is a
presentation polish, not a content change. The source change: slide
1's `## The friction...``# The friction...` (H1) + `<!-- _class:
title -->` directive, which triggers `render_title_slide` (black bg,
red top bar, white text).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed).
### D-245 — Slide 7 "What works now" content addition (deviation from Slide Content Map)
**User request.** A new "What works now" block is added to slide 7's
on-slide body, before the existing "What we ask" block. This is a
*content* deviation — the Slide Content Map specifies slide 7 as:
What we ask / Why now / What comes back + closer. The new block
emphasizes what's proven today (L1/L2 stack deployment works, live
apply to the sandbox/dev AWS account, confidence 0.800) and the
next-steps arc (ingest greenfield pilot projects → promote from
sandbox to production → integrate with the SPGE constitutional
library → serve as the infrastructure layer).
**Factual grounding (verified in RESEARCH):**
- 13 L1 primitives + 2 L2 modules in `modules/registry.json` (all at
`1.0.0`): alb, cloudfront, dynamodb, ecr, ecs-cluster, ecs-service,
iam-role, kms-key, rds, s3, uptime, vpc, waf + microservice, static-
assets.
- CAP-031: live `terraform apply` against AWS account `581513795199`
(the dev environment, `mode: full`, dev-only per D-209), producing
real ARNs (ALB, ECS, DynamoDB, S3, KMS) at confidence 0.800. This is
a **live AWS apply**, NOT "tested locally" and NOT a "sandbox"
account (the codebase has no sandbox account; the pilot-readiness
policy D-208 blocks placeholder accounts).
**"sandbox" colloquial term note:** The user explicitly chose to keep
"sandbox" as a colloquial term for the dev AWS account after I flagged
that the codebase fact is "dev account `581513795199`, live apply."
The slide uses "sandbox" (colloquial); the speaker notes carry the
precise facts (dev account, live apply, confidence 0.800).
**"SPGE constitutional library" unverified-in-repo note:** "SPGE"
and "constitutional library" appear nowhere in the codebase (0
matches across all `.md`/`.py`/`.json`/`.yml`). The user confirmed it
is an external system the audience recognizes. The slide includes it
as a named next-step integration target, not as a current capability.
The speaker notes do not assert it exists in the codebase.
The Slide Content Map in PROJECT.md is updated to reflect the new
slide 7 structure.
**Confidence:** 0.90.
### D-246 — Mermaid diagrams on all 7 slides
**User request.** Each of the 7 slides gets a leader-friendly,
non-technical mermaid diagram covering its core concept. Different
mermaid shapes per slide for visual variety.
**Render path (verified):** The local `mmdc` (mermaid-cli) is blocked
by missing Chromium shared libraries (10+ system libs absent, no
root). Resolution: 24 Debian bookworm `.deb` packages fetched from the
Debian mirror, `.so` files extracted to `/home/opencode/tmp/so2/`,
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set to include them. Chromium (puppeteer cache at
`/home/opencode/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/.../chrome`) launches with
the vendored libs; `mmdc` renders with the S&P theme (`sp-theme.json`)
+ 2x scale + transparent background. Verified: test diagram renders
to a valid PNG with all 4 S&P colors present. The `.mmd` source files
+ rendered PNGs are committed for reproducibility; a future
environment with system Chromium can re-render via the existing
`scripts/render_slides.sh` mermaid step.
**Theme:** Inline `%%{init: {...}}%%` directive in each `.mmd` with
S&P theme variables (`primaryColor:#1B1B1B`, `primaryBorderColor:
#D6002A`, `primaryTextColor:#fff`, `secondaryColor:#fff`,
`tertiaryColor:#F0F0F0`, `lineColor:#1B1B1B`) — only the 4 S&P tokens.
Transparent background. No component names, no technical jargon —
concepts only (leader-friendly).
**Diagram-type-per-slide mapping:**
1. flowchart LR — 3 frictions → Nova absorbs them
2. flowchart TB — Central IT golden image → Nova one layer up
3. flowchart LR with subgraphs — two principles → everything inherits
4. flowchart LR (3 columns) — Live · Attested · Stays human
5. flowchart LR (two halves) — In Nova's lane / Outside Nova's lane
6. timeline — the 18-month shape (α→β→γ→δ)
7. flowchart LR — what works now → next steps arc
The Slide Content Map in PROJECT.md is updated to include a "Diagram"
field per slide.
**Confidence:** 0.88.

# CLARIFY — v1.29 Reposplit + Identity Layer Bring-Live
> **Autonomy:** full. Auto-resolution with assumption logging per
> `config.autonomy.level: "full"`. No human escalation unless confidence
> < 0.60. The v1.29 spec is v1.1 (highly detailed — §7 resolves Q1-6, Q7
> carried forward as a verification-gate dependency). This file records
> the v1.29 ambiguities and the scope-split grounding.
---
## Method
The v1.29 spec ("Universal Feature Specification — Reposplit + Identity
Layer Bring-Live", v1.1) is the most detailed spec the project has
received: it includes BDD acceptance criteria, an 8-item M1.5 spike
checklist, 7 decisions pre-drafted (D-232..238), 14 NFRs, and an
explicit §7 resolving Q1-6. Clarify work focuses on (a) the scope split
between `acdl` (CIAgent) and `nova-platform-ops` (out-of-band), (b) the
`kj` identity (Go binary vs. the v1.28 kyverno-json re-mapping), and (c)
the carried-forward Q7. Each ambiguity gets a decision ID (D-232+,
continuing from v1.28's D-226..D-231), a resolution, a confidence score,
and a rationale.
---
## Prior-conversation resolutions (already locked, restated for the record)
These were resolved by the user-approved execution plan in the
conversation that spawned v1.29.
### Q-P1 — The spec creates a separate repo `nova-platform-ops`. CIAgent runs inside `acdl`. Where does the Terraform code land?
**Resolution:** Terraform modules
(`networking`/`kms`/`identity`/`contract-ingest`/`bootstrap`/`edge`) are
authored **out-of-band** in `nova-platform-ops` (operator-owned). CIAgent
in `acdl` delivers only the acdl-side work (publish.yml, Gitea scrub,
CFN archive, operator guide, consumer bump) and tracks the ops-side
REQs as **covered-reference** (verification surface = the M1/M1.5/M2
cutover gates documented in the operator guide).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Author out-of-band in
nova-platform-ops"). **Decision:** scope split documented in
PROJECT.md §v1.29 + REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.29.
### Q-P2 — The run scope. How far does this `/ci-run` go?
**Resolution:** Full milestone through the final phase (P0 → P1..P5 →
P6 final review + audit + milestone ship, tag `v1.28.6`).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Full milestone through final
phase"). **Decision:** n/a (execution scope, not a D-ID).
### Q-P3 — Edge 8 / REQ-354 footnote: pilot consumer deploy bump. Handle how?
**Resolution:** Include a cross-project phase (P5) in this CIAgent run
(multi-project mode is active). Bump `nova-blockchain-exchange`
deploy.yml `@v1.25``@v1.29` + smoke test.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (user-confirmed — "Cross-project phase in this
run"). **Decision:** n/a (execution scope).
---
## Spec-grounded resolutions (from §7 + §5)
### Q1 — State bucket bootstrap on day-0 (resolved per spec §7.1)
**Resolution:** Manual one-time at the operator's secure scratch; Terraform
then adopts it via `terraform import`. Avoids bootstrapping the
bootstrapper. **Confidence:** 1.0 (spec §7.1 explicit). **Decision:**
D-235 (tag-pin handoff) — the state bucket is one of the imported
resources.
### Q2 — `pyproject.toml` version bump (resolved per spec §7.2)
**Resolution:** Bump to `1.29.0` in M1 (P2 — Gitea scrub phase) of v1.29
alongside the Gitea scrub. **Confidence:** 1.0 (spec §7.2 explicit).
**Decision:** n/a (implementation detail, tracked in PLAN.md P2).
### Q3 — WAF cost (resolved per spec §7.3)
**Resolution:** Acceptable for the JWKS public surface; documented in
operator-guide cost section (~$510/month per WebACL + per-request).
**Confidence:** 1.0 (spec §7.3 explicit). **Decision:** documented in
REQ-OPS-GUIDE AC.
### Q4 — Coverage 73.8% — does this milestone drive it down further? (resolved per spec §7.4)
**Resolution:** Accept any further debt as carry-forward to the separate
NFR milestone. New modules have ≥80% coverage; older code paths are
unchanged. YELLOW carried without scope expansion. **Confidence:** 1.0
(spec §7.4 explicit). **Decision:** n/a (NFR carry-forward, not a v1.29
D-ID).
### Q5 — CFN code deletion timing (resolved per spec §7.5)
**Resolution:** Archive to `docs/archive/nova-idp-cfn-v1.28.md`; deletion
is a follow-up after the next pilot run verifies Terraform parity.
**Confidence:** 1.0 (spec §7.5 explicit). **Decision:** REQ-369 AC (3).
### Q6 — `acdl-act-runner-role` reuse (resolved per spec §7.6)
**Resolution:** Reuse the existing role for v1.29 to minimize IAM surface
changes; scope narrow per REQ-360. **Confidence:** 1.0 (spec §7.6
explicit). **Decision:** covered by REQ-360 (IAM-NARROW).
### Q7 — `kj` image verification dependency (CARRY-FORWARD per spec §7.7)
**Resolution (carry-forward):** M1 cutover is conditional on the M1.5
verification gate. **Recommendation:** Block M1 cutover until M1.5
passes. If M1.5 fails three consecutive rebuilds, defer to M2a and ship
Nova-idp in read-only partial mode (no token issuance) until `kj` is
verified. **Impact if wrong:** A live token-vend that signs with a
broken ABAC path would let through a denied claim — fails closed only if
`ImageUri` is verified pre-apply. **Confidence:** 0.92 (spec §7.7
explicit + D-236 cutover shape). **Decision:** D-236 (cutover shape +
rollback procedure). This is the **only** outstanding carry-forward;
CIAgent in acdl builds + publishes the image + the gate tests (P1), but
the live 3-rebuild verification happens in `nova-platform-ops` CI
(out-of-band). CIAgent does not block on it.
---
## Grounding-gap resolutions (surfaced in pre-flight)
### G1 — The spec's `kj` vs. v1.28's `kj` re-mapping
**Ambiguity:** v1.28 (D-227) re-mapped the spec's `kj` engine →
kyverno-json (INV-4 swappable), explicitly stating "no new `kj` engine
is built." v1.29 reintroduces `kj` as a compiled Go binary
(`platform/abac/kj-version.txt`, pinned v0.0.3) embedded in an ECR
container image. Is this a contradiction?
**Resolution:** No contradiction. v1.28's `kj` was a *policy engine*
reference; v1.29's `kj` is a *compiled Go binary* (a distinct artifact).
The kyverno-json engine remains the policy engine (INV-4). The v1.29
`kj` binary is invoked via `subprocess.run(['/opt/kj/kj', 'apply', ...])`
by the Lambda handler — it is a **substrate** binary, not a policy
engine. The two coexist: kyverno-json evaluates ABAC policy; `kj` is the
container image's static binary that the Lambda runtime executes. No
collision.
**Confidence:** 0.95 (spec §3.3 Edge 5 item 4 explicit + v1.28 D-227
scope). **Decision:** documented in PROJECT.md §v1.29 ID allocations +
KJ-STATIC NFR.
### G2 — `REQ-363b` sub-requirement numbering
**Ambiguity:** The spec uses `REQ-363b` for the Fargate defensive
fallback. The repo's REQ namespace is `REQ-NNN` (numeric). How to
record `363b`?
**Resolution:** Keep `REQ-363b` as-is (sub-requirement of REQ-363). It
is a distinct requirement (Fargate fallback, KJ-LOCKSTEP) but logically
paired with REQ-363 (production substrate). The `b` suffix is
unambiguous and matches the spec. No collision with any existing REQ.
**Confidence:** 0.98 (spec explicit + no collision). **Decision:** n/a
(naming convention).
### G3 — `REQ-370` gap
**Ambiguity:** The spec jumps from REQ-369 to REQ-371. Is REQ-370
missing or intentionally unused?
**Resolution:** Intentionally unused per the source spec. REQ-370 is a
gap in the spec's numbering (likely a deleted/renumbered item during
spec v1.0 → v1.1). v1.29 does not allocate REQ-370; it remains a
reserved gap. **Confidence:** 0.90 (spec explicit gap, no content).
**Decision:** n/a (spec fidelity).
### G4 — Covered-reference REQs and CIAgent verification
**Ambiguity:** REQ-355, 356, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 363b,
364, 365, 366, 371 are authored in `nova-platform-ops` (out-of-band).
How does CIAgent verify them? Are they `human_needed`?
**Resolution:** They are **covered-reference**, NOT `human_needed`. The
verification surface is the M1/M1.5/M2 cutover gates documented in the
operator guide (`docs/operator-guide-platform-ops.md`). The operator
guide lists each covered-reference REQ with its cutover gate entry
(M1/M1.5/M2). CIAgent verify marks them `covered-reference` and the
final-phase audit confirms the operator guide documents all gates.
**Confidence:** 0.94 (scope-split decision + spec §2.3 milestone
gates). **Decision:** documented in REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.29 + REQ-OPS-
GUIDE AC.
---
## Assumptions (logged, not escalated — confidence ≥ 0.80)
1. **`kj` v0.0.3** is available at the pinned SHA in
`platform/abac/kj-version.txt` and compiles with `CGO_ENABLED=0
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64`. RESEARCH will confirm the source repository
+ build commands. If the binary is not available, P1 (publish
pipeline) cannot produce the ECR image; M1.5 gate fails by
construction → M2a (Fargate toggle, same image) also fails → escalate
(but this is a spec dependency, not a CIAgent ambiguity).
2. **ECR repository** exists or is creatable in account `581513795199`
for the `kj` image. RESEARCH will confirm. The repo name is not
specified in the spec; the operator guide will document it.
3. **GitHub Releases** is the artifact distribution channel (per
REQ-354). The `acdl/acdl` repo is already on GitHub (the Gitea scrub
in REQ-367 standardizes on GitHub). NOVA_FORGE_TOKEN (Gitea) is
retained for `nova-platform-ops` releases only.
4. **The `nova idp setup --apply` terraform-delegation** (REQ-369 AC 2)
requires `terraform` to be on the operator's PATH. The CLI detects
terraform via `which terraform`; if absent, it falls back to the CFN
path with a deprecation warning (the CFN archive remains read-only
reference, but the delegation is the preferred path).
5. **The M1.5 8-item spike** (spec §3.3 Edge 5) is the verification
gate. CIAgent in acdl authors the *tests* (test_idp_auth,
test_kms_roundtrip, ABAC E2E) in P1; the *live 3-rebuild run*
happens in `nova-platform-ops` CI. This is the Q7 carry-forward
surface.
---
## CLARIFY complete
All material ambiguities resolved at full autonomy (3 prior-conversation
+ 7 spec-grounded + 4 grounding-gap → D-232..D-238, confidence ≥ 0.80).
Q7 is the only carry-forward (verification-gate dependency, not a
blocking ambiguity). No human escalation triggered (all confidences ≥
0.60 threshold). REQUIREMENTS.md updated with the decision ledger +
invariants + NFR constraints. Next: RESEARCH.
No requirements are added, removed, or re-scoped by D-241D-243.
D-244D-246 are polish-phase decisions that record deviations from
prior binding decisions (G-1) and the Slide Content Map (slide 7).
The spec is locked (v1.0, 2026-08-20); no spec text changes. The
Slide Content Map in PROJECT.md is updated to reflect D-245 (slide 7
structure) and D-246 (diagram field per slide).

## Overall verdict: **PROCEED-WITH-CONDITIONS** · Confidence 0.76
## Overall verdict: **PROCEED** · Confidence 0.88
The plan is fundamentally sound — architecture correct, re-mapping
clean (no ID collisions), technical depth accurate (DER→raw, strong-
read revocation, stdin TTY), highest-risk item (kj binary) has a
Fargate fallback. Not unfeasible, not over-scoped beyond an agent-driven
repo's capacity, not security-broken by design.
The plan is sound — this is a low-complexity, single-shot
presentation artifact milestone. The scope is narrow (1 execution
phase, 4 waves, no runtime code), the render pipeline extension is
minimal (D-242), the discrete-artifact discipline is clear (D-241),
and the environment prerequisites are resolved (python-pptx
installed). No critical conditions. 4 tracked conditions (all
advisory, none block P1).
**3 critical conditions (must-fix before P1) + 16 tracked conditions.**
No escalations (all axes ≥ 0.70 confidence).
The lower confidence vs. a "clean 0.95" reflects two residual
risks: (1) the python-pptx user-site install is environment-fragile
(it works now but is not reproducible in a fresh CI runner without
the same `--break-system-packages` path); (2) the PPTX footer
textbox is a new renderer behavior that needs visual confirmation.
Both are mitigated — (1) by the smoke-test hard-fail gate (8f) which
forces render success before ship, and (2) by the verify stage's
visual review (REQ-372.7).

## Critical conditions (the 3 must-fix-before-P1)
## Tracked conditions (advisory — none block P1)
### 🔴 C-6.1 / C-7.1 — ABAC fail-closed
The token-vend Lambda's behavior on `kj` absence/error is unspecified.
Without fail-closed, INV-17 is documentation, not a runtime guarantee —
a `kj` load failure would bypass the ABAC gate (every PAT gets a token).
**Fix applied to PLAN.md P4 Wave 4 Task 4.1:** "If
`KyvernoJsonEngine.is_configured()` returns false or `evaluate()`
raises, return 403 + audit `token.vend.denied` (reason:
`abac_eval_failed`). Never fail open. Test: `tests/test_abac_fail_closed.py`."
### T-1.1 — Footer textbox overlap with content
### 🔴 C-5.2 — JWS-from-PAT key derivation
REQ-332's AC ("public key derivable from the PAT") is unimplementable
without a specified KDF. A PAT is a JWT, not a keypair.
**Fix applied to PLAN.md P2 Wave 2 Task 2.3 + REQ-332 AC:** the JWS
uses HMAC-SHA256 with a key derived via
`HKDF-SHA256(PAT_bytes, salt='nova-local-attestation', info='jws-signing-key')`
→ 32-byte symmetric key. The "public key derivable" AC is re-interpreted:
the *verification key* is derived from the PAT via the same KDF (the
PAT is the shared secret). This is a symmetric scheme, not asymmetric.
**Claim:** The footer textbox at `SLIDE_H - 0.3"` (7.2") won't
overlap content (content area tops out at ~6.5").
### 🔴 C-9.1 — Traceability drift
REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.28 traceability table mapped 16 REQs to P2;
PLAN.md splits them across P2/P3/P4/P5/P6. **Fix applied to
REQUIREMENTS.md** — traceability table updated to match PLAN.md phase
structure.
**Verification:** python-pptx test rendered a textbox at
`Inches(7.2)` on a 7.5" slide — succeeds, no overlap with content
ending at ~6.5". The `render_content_slide` accumulates `cur_top`
per body block; a 7-slide deck with the Slide Content Map's body
volume (titles + 3-5 body blocks per slide) tops out at ~5.5-6.0".
**Verdict:** Safe. The verify stage visual review (REQ-372.7) is the
backstop.
### T-2.1 — Single-shot discipline enforcement
**Claim:** The deck is not wired as a CI gate, not integrated with
`publish.yml`, not auto-regenerated.
**Verification:** `workflows-src/slides.yml` triggers on
`docs/presentations/**` but `render_slides.sh` hardcodes
`DECK="nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery"` — the leadership deck is
NOT rendered by CI. No `publish.yml` reference to the leadership
deck. The smoke test is a standalone script (no workflow
integration). **Verdict:** Discipline enforced by absence — no CI
plumbing references the new artifact.
### T-5.1 — Speaker notes word-band parsing in bash
**Claim:** The smoke test extracts `<!-- ... -->` per slide and
counts words with `wc -w`.
**Verification:** Bash `awk`/`sed` can extract HTML comment content
per slide (split on `---`, then extract `<!--` ... `-->` within each
slide block). Multi-line comments are supported by the spec
convention ("placed within the slide body, before the next `---`").
**Verdict:** Feasible. The ci-cli-engineer implements + tests this in
W3.
### T-5.2 — `→` bullet rendering
**Claim:** Use `- → ...` bullets so the renderer treats `→` lines as
bullet blocks.
**Verification:** The renderer's unordered-list regex
`^(\s*)([-*+])\s+(.*)` matches `- → ...` → bullet level 0, text
`→ ...`. The `→` is preserved in the rendered text. **Verdict:**
Correct. The ci-doc-writer uses `- → ...` for the arrow lines.
### T-6.1 / T-8.1 — Render environment reproducibility
**Claim:** python-pptx is installed via user-site
`pip install --user --break-system-packages`.
**Verification:** Confirmed in this session: python-pptx 1.0.2 +
pytest 9.1.1 installed. `python3 -c "import pptx"` succeeds. The
install path is environment-specific (Debian/Ubuntu without system
pip/venv). In a fresh CI runner, the `slides.yml` workflow uses
`pip install -e ".[slides]"` (system pip in the runner image) —
reproducible there. For local on-demand renders, the user-site
install is the documented path. **Verdict:** Acceptable. The
smoke-test hard-fail gate (8f) forces render success before ship;
if the environment can't render, ship blocks until resolved.
### T-9.1 — STATE.md intake override applied
**Claim:** D-241 overrides the stale STATE.md intake assumption 3.
**Verification:** STATE.md line ~526 assumption 3 was edited in
CLARIFY to read "OVERRIDDEN by D-241 (v1.30 CLARIFY): the leadership
deck is a discrete, hand-authored artifact — NOT a compression."
The override is recorded in CLARIFY.md (D-241) + this grill. **Verdict:**
Applied + verified.
---
## Tracked conditions (16 — applied to PLAN.md as amendments)
- **C-1.1** KMS asymmetric key verification before P4 Wave 3 (one
`aws kms create-key --key-spec ECC_NIST_P256` call).
- **C-1.2** Argon2 fail-closed test in P3 Wave 2 (Lambda returns 503
on `ImportError`, not a crash or pure-Python hash).
- **C-2.1** Fold P5 (idp-setup) into P4 as P4 Wave 8 → **reduces to 6
execution phases** (P1..P6, P7 = final). Applied.
- **C-2.2** P4 is a double-length phase; acknowledged in P4 header.
- **C-3.1** Cost envelope subsection added to PLAN.md.
- **C-3.2 / C-8.1** CodeArtifact provisioning = P1 Wave 0 task with
binary go/no-go gate; Gitea wheel index fallback documented.
- **C-4.1** P4 flagged as critical-path phase (kj spike = highest-
probability schedule slip; Fargate = +1 week).
- **C-4.2** Per-phase exit criteria added to PLAN.md.
- **C-5.1** `requested_claims` = list of claim names (the policy
asserts the subject is *allowed* to request those claims).
- **C-6.2** Threat model (REQ-347) adds: JWKS DDoS surface, PAT theft
+ max TTL (≤24h dev, ≤1h service-account), ABAC fail-closed,
INV-18..21 compression audit.
- **C-6.3** Operator guide (REQ-345) adds: KMS rotation, layer update,
PITR restore, emergency PAT revocation.
- **C-7.2** Argon2id parameters: t=3, m=65536 KiB, p=1 (OWASP min).
- **C-7.3** `~/.nova/credentials.json` stores OIDC token + PAT metadata
(jti, exp, type), NOT the raw PAT.
- **C-8.2** `kj` pinned to a specific release + SHA256 recorded.
- **C-9.2** Threat model includes INV-18..21 compression audit
(verify spec's attestation invariant semantics are captured by
INV-15/16/17 + REQ-332).

## Overall verdict: **PROCEED-WITH-CONDITIONS** · Confidence 0.72
The plan is architecturally sound and the in-acdl scope is well-bounded.
The scope split (Terraform out-of-band in `nova-platform-ops`, acdl
authors publish/scrub/archive/guide/consumer-bump) is the correct
boundary per Vision §4. The technical depth is accurate (D-239 ECR tag
correction, D-240 Terraform precondition floor, CloudFront OAC pitfall,
ECR tag mutability → pin-by-digest). The cost envelope is realistic.
**However**, the covered-reference pattern — as currently structured —
is a **deferred-trust assertion** for 14 of 17 requirements. The plan
ships REQ-355..366 + 371 as "complete" on the strength of a markdown
pointer (the operator guide's cutover-gate section) to CI in a repo
that does not yet exist and has no CIAgent presence. The M1.5
verification gate, the one surface acdl genuinely owns, can be
authored-but-never-run-green and the milestone still ships. Four
critical fixes convert "documented" into "evidenced-by-operator-
attestation-in-the-guide-which-acdl-audits-at-P6."
**4 critical fixes (must apply before EXECUTE) + 6 tracked conditions.**
No escalations (all axes resolved at confidence ≥ 0.60; the user
confirmed the binding verdict on the covered-reference pattern).

## Critical fixes (must apply before EXECUTE)
### 🔴 CF-1 — M1.5 green is a HARD P6 milestone-ship gate; spike extended
**Finding:** P1 authors the M1.5 gate tests (Wave 3) but P1's exit
criterion explicitly marks the live KMS round-trip as "covered-
reference, runs in nova-platform-ops CI." P6 ships the milestone with
no requirement that M1.5 ever ran green. The dominant silent-failure
path (user-confirmed): M1.5 never runs green → 14 REQs ship "complete"
on paper while Nova-idp is not live.
**Fix (binding):**
1. P6 Wave 2 (`ciagent-ship`) MUST NOT ship `v1.28.6` until the operator
guide (`docs/operator-guide-platform-ops.md`) contains an
operator-attested "M1.5 Verification Gate Result" row recording:
(a) the 8-item spike all-green on **3 consecutive rebuilds** in
`nova-platform-ops` CI; (b) the rebuild run IDs / commit SHAs; (c)
the operator attestor identity. The P6 audit step (Wave 1) verifies
this row exists + is non-empty. Absent the row → P6 blocks → escalate.
2. The M1.5 8-item spike (PLAN Happy Path §3.3 Edge 5) is EXTENDED from
8 to **12 items** by adding:
- **Item 9 (JWKS-EDGE-ONLY):** direct JWKS Function URL GET (bypassing
CloudFront) returns **403**; via-CloudFront GET returns 200. Proves
`AuthType: AWS_IAM` + OAC pinning (INV-18). Without this, the
`AuthType: NONE` pitfall (RESEARCH §4) is undetected.
- **Item 10 (IAM-NARROW):** `aws iam get-role-policy` on the OIDC
role asserts no `Action: "*"` and no `Resource: "*"` (REQ-360).
- **Item 11 (TFM-HITL):** a `terraform apply` `workflow_dispatch`
triggered by the PR author is **rejected** (exit non-zero,
`gitea.triggering_actor == PR author`); a dispatch by a distinct
user proceeds (REQ-357, RESEARCH §10).
- **Item 12 (rollback drill):** revert `nova_platform_version` pin →
`terraform apply` → assert the prior ECR digest runs (proves D-236
rollback; guards against ECR tag mutability, RESEARCH §2).
**Binding decision G-2.1:** the covered-reference pattern is accepted
as a verification surface **only** with CF-1 applied. M1.5 green
(evidenced by operator attestation in the guide) is the ship gate.
### 🔴 CF-2 — Covered-reference REQs gated by operator-attested evidence rows
**Finding:** 14 of 17 REQs (355..366, 371) are "verified via cutover
gates in the operator guide" (CLARIFY G4). This is a deferred-trust
assertion: if `nova-platform-ops` is never built, or builds the wrong
thing, or its CI silently passes, the REQs ship "complete" on the
strength of a markdown pointer. The user confirmed this is a
deferred-trust assertion, not a verification.
**Fix (binding):** The operator guide (P4 Wave 1 Task 1.1) "Cutover
Gates" section MUST list each covered-reference REQ with:
(a) the gate entry (M1/M1.5/M2); (b) the verification command; (c) a
placeholder "Result" column. The P6 audit step (Wave 1) verifies that
every covered-reference REQ has a non-empty, green "Result" entry
(operator-attested). A REQ with an empty or red Result → P6 blocks.
This converts "documented" to "evidenced-by-operator-attestation-
audited-by-acdl-at-P6."
**Binding decision G-1:** the covered-reference pattern is **accepted
as a verification surface** with CF-1 + CF-2 applied. Without them, it
is a punt and the grill would REJECT.
### 🔴 CF-3 — P5 smoke test must run against a real v1.29.x tag (no hedge)
**Finding:** P5 bumps the consumer deploy.yml `@v1.25``@v1.29` and
runs a smoke test "against the v1.29 publish artifacts." But
`publish.yml` triggers on `v1.29.*` tags (P1 Wave 0), and the milestone
release tag is `v1.28.6`. P5 Wave 1 Task 1.2 hedges: "If the v1.29
publish artifacts are not yet available... mark as covered-reference:
requires v1.29.0 tag." This hedge lets P5 ship green without the
smoke test ever running against real artifacts — a second silent-
failure path.
**Fix (binding):**
1. P1 Wave 4 (regression + ship) MUST push a `v1.29.0` tag (or the
first `v1.29.x` tag) as part of P1 ship, triggering `publish.yml`
and producing the v1.29 artifacts. Document this in PLAN P1.
2. P5 Wave 1 Task 1.2's hedge clause is REMOVED. The P5 smoke test
MUST run against the published v1.29.x artifacts. If the artifacts
are absent (P1 failed to publish), P5 fails closed — no hedge to
"covered-reference."
3. The milestone release tag remains `v1.28.6` (the v1.28.x line per
the tagging convention); the `v1.29.0` artifact tag is a P1
intermediate tag, not the release. This resolves the tag-semantics
ambiguity the grill surfaced.
### 🔴 CF-4 — kj v0.0.3 source-fetch path confirmed before P1 Wave 1
**Finding:** P1 Wave 1 Task 1.1b says "fetches the `kj` Go source at
the pinned SHA" citing "RESEARCH §7 — source repo confirmed in P1
RESEARCH." RESEARCH §7 confirms the build command (`CGO_ENABLED=0`)
but is **silent on the source repository**. Assumption ledger item #1
says "RESEARCH will confirm the source repository + build commands"
— RESEARCH did NOT confirm the source repo. `kj-version.txt` pins
`v0.0.3` + SHA `4ebb9a19...` but the grill cannot determine whether
this is a source commit SHA or a binary digest, or what repo it lives
in. P1 Wave 1 is built on an open assumption.
**Fix (binding):** Before P1 Wave 1 starts (P1 Wave 0 or a new Wave
0.5), the backend-engineer MUST confirm: (a) the `kj` source repo URL
+ the commit at SHA `4ebb9a19...`; (b) `go build` reproduces a binary
whose SHA-256 matches the recorded one (or the SHA is a source commit,
in which case the build is the verification); (c) the fetched source
compiles `CGO_ENABLED=0` to a statically-linked binary (KJ-STATIC). If
the source is not fetchable at the pinned SHA → P1 fails closed →
escalate (this is a spec dependency, not a CIAgent ambiguity per
assumption #1). Document the confirmed repo URL + commit in
`platform/abac/kj-version.txt` (add a third line: the source repo URL).
---
## Tracked conditions (apply during execution)
- **TC-1 (KJ-STATIC audit, P1 Wave 1 Task 1.2):** `file(1)` asserts
`statically linked` + `readelf -d` asserts no `NEEDED` entries, as a
CI gate. Already in PLAN; tracked for enforcement.
- **TC-2 (KJ-LOCKSTEP by construction, covered-reference):** both
image-bearing resources reference a single `data.aws_ecr_image.kj_image`;
`image_uri = repo@digest`. Verified via CF-1 item 12 (rollback drill)
+ CF-2 (operator-attested result row for REQ-371).
- **TC-3 (CloudFront OAC pitfall, P4 operator guide):** the guide MUST
document the `AuthType: NONE` → OAC-ignored pitfall (RESEARCH §4) as
a callout. CF-1 item 9 mechanically verifies it. Already in PLAN P4
Wave 0 Task 0.3b; tracked.
- **TC-4 (ECR tag format, P1 Wave 1 Task 1.1f):** assert tag matches
`^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$` before push (D-239). Already in PLAN; tracked.
- **TC-5 (import idempotency, covered-reference REQ-361):** CI import
treats "Resource already managed by Terraform" as idempotent success
(grep the message, not just exit code). Documented in RESEARCH §1;
tracked for the ops repo (operator-attested via CF-2).
- **TC-6 (Fargate sunset discipline, P4 operator guide):** D-237 —
≥30 consecutive days green + architecture review before deletion.
Already in PLAN P4 Wave 0 Task 0.3f; tracked.

## Binding decisions (this grill session)
## Binding decisions (grill-level, full autonomy)
| ID | Decision | Rationale | Confidence |
|----|----------|-----------|-----------|
| **G-1** | The covered-reference pattern is accepted as a verification surface, but ONLY with CF-1 (M1.5 green = hard P6 gate + spike extended to 12 items) + CF-2 (operator-attested result rows for every covered-reference REQ, audited at P6). Without these, it is a deferred-trust assertion (punt) and the grill would REJECT. | User-confirmed: covered-reference is a deferred-trust assertion; M1.5 must be a hard gate; TFM-HITL/IAM-NARROW/JWKS-EDGE-ONLY are unverifiable from acdl absent the extended spike. | 0.78 |
| **G-2.1** | M1.5 green (3 consecutive rebuilds of the 12-item spike) is a binding P6 milestone-ship gate, evidenced by an operator-attested row in the operator guide. The P6 audit verifies the row exists + is green. | Dominant silent-failure path = M1.5 never runs green → 14 REQs false-"complete." User-confirmed. | 0.85 |
| **G-2.2** | The M1.5 spike is extended 8 → 12 items, adding: JWKS-EDGE-ONLY direct-URL-403 check, IAM-NARROW no-wildcard assertion, TFM-HITL self-approval-rejection check, rollback drill. | INV-18, REQ-360, REQ-357 are otherwise unverifiable from acdl. Rollback is untested (D-236). | 0.80 |
| **G-3** | P1 MUST push a `v1.29.0` (or first `v1.29.x`) intermediate tag at P1 ship to produce publish artifacts; P5's "covered-reference: requires v1.29.0 tag" hedge is REMOVED; the smoke test must run against real artifacts or P5 fails closed. | P5's hedge is a second silent-failure path. User-confirmed. | 0.82 |
| **G-4** | The `kj` v0.0.3 source-fetch path (repo URL + commit at SHA `4ebb9a19...`) must be confirmed before P1 Wave 1; the confirmed repo URL is recorded as a third line in `platform/abac/kj-version.txt`. If unfetchable → P1 fails closed → escalate. | RESEARCH §7 is silent on the source repo; P1 Wave 1 is built on an open assumption. User-confirmed. | 0.80 |
| **G-5** | The covered-reference REQs (355..366, 371) are NOT marked "complete" at P6 unless their operator-guide cutover-gate row is non-empty + green (CF-2). An empty/red row blocks the milestone ship. | Converts "documented" → "evidenced-by-operator-attestation-audited-by-acdl." | 0.78 |
| G-1 | All 7 slides use `##` H2 titles (content slides, white bg) — slide 1 is NOT a title-class slide. | The Slide Content Map's slide 1 is content-rich (3 friction patterns + closing). A black-bg title slide would hide the arrows in white-on-black, differing from the map's framing. White-bg content slides give visual consistency across all 7. The map doesn't specify background; visual review accepts either. | 0.82 |
| G-2 | The `→` arrow lines are authored as `- → ...` bullets (not bare `→` plain text). | The renderer parses `[-*+]` as bullets (proper indentation + bullet glyphs). Bare `→` lines parse as plain paragraphs (no bullet formatting). The Slide Content Map shows `→` as distinct arrow lines — bullets with the arrow glyph preserve the visual intent in the PPTX. | 0.88 |
| G-3 | The `style:` block in the leadership deck frontmatter replaces `#2E2E2E` (blockquote color in the existing deck) with `#1B1B1B`. | REQ-372.6 allows only 4 hex colors in the source. The existing deck's `style:` uses `#2E2E2E` for blockquote text — this must not appear in the leadership deck source. `#1B1B1B` is the closest S&P token (black). | 1.0 |
| G-4 | The render_pptx.py extension parses the Marp frontmatter to extract the `footer:` value (for the footer textbox), but does NOT parse `paginate:`, `theme:`, `size:`, or `style:`. | Minimal extension scope per D-242. Only the footer is needed for REQ-372.5. The other directives are source-only (smoke test checks source; the python-pptx path ignores them). | 0.90 |
---
## Escalations
None. All 9 axes resolved at confidence ≥ 0.66. The user confirmed the
binding verdict (G-1: accepted with 4 conditions). No human escalation
required (full autonomy). The kj source-fetch (CF-4) has a fail-closed
path: if RESEARCH's open assumption is wrong, P1 fails closed and
escalates at that point — but the grill does not pre-escalate a
spec dependency the plan already flags.
---
## Evidence verified against the live codebase
- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` line 47-55: trigger is
`push: branches: [main]` (P1 Wave 0 changes to `tags: ['v1.29.*']`
matches PLAN).
- `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` exists (P2 removes it — matches PLAN).
- `platform/abac/kj-version.txt`: 2 lines (`v0.0.3` + SHA
`4ebb9a19...`) — matches PLAN; RESEARCH §7 silent on source repo
(CF-4).
- `nova/idp/setup.py`: 50 lines, `--check/--apply/--verify/--dry-run`
(P3 adds terraform delegation — matches PLAN).
- `core/lambda/nova_idp_setup.py` exists (P3 archives its CFN — matches).
- `tests/test_idp_auth.py` + `tests/test_kms_roundtrip.py` EXIST (from
v1.28); `tests/test_abac_e2e.py` does NOT exist (P1 Wave 3 authors it
— matches PLAN).
- `pyproject.toml` version = `1.14.0` (P2 bumps to `1.29.0` — matches
PLAN; note: v1.28 did not bump it, a v1.28 carry-over the grill
flags as minor but does not block on).
---
## Grill complete
The v1.29 plan proceeds with **4 critical fixes** (CF-1 M1.5 hard gate
+ spike extension; CF-2 operator-attested result rows; CF-3 P5 live
smoke no-hedge; CF-4 kj source confirmation) and **6 tracked
conditions**. The covered-reference pattern is accepted as a
verification surface **only** because CF-1 + CF-2 convert
"documented" into "evidenced-by-operator-attestation-audited-by-acdl-
at-P6." Without those fixes, the grill would REJECT: 14 of 17 REQs
would ship "complete" on the strength of a markdown pointer to a
nonexistent repo's CI.
Next: apply the 4 critical fixes to PLAN.md + REQUIREMENTS.md, then
MVP/UX CHECK → SHIP phase 0.
None. All axes ≥ 0.84 confidence. No human escalation required at
full autonomy.

```
## Territory overlap notes
### data-engineer
```yaml
active: false
reason: "No schema/migration/data-pipeline work in v1.30. The milestone is a single-shot presentation artifact."
```
- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` (REQ-354) = backend-engineer (ECR
image build, Dockerfile, Lambda zip) + lead-developer (Gitea scrub
removes the `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` mirror in P2, D-232).
- `nova/idp/setup.py` (REQ-369) = cli-engineer (the `--apply` delegation
+ `which terraform` detection) + backend-engineer (the CFN archive
content — the CFN template is backend-engineer territory from v1.28).
- `platform/abac/kj-version.txt` = security-engineer (KJ-STATIC audit
reads + verifies the SHA) + backend-engineer (publish.yml reads the
SHA to embed in the ECR tag).
- `docs/operator-guide-platform-ops.md` (P4) = lead-developer (cutover
gates, cost section, artifact-mirror fallback) + data-engineer (PITR
restore, DynamoDB imports) + security-engineer (KMS rotation, JWKS
reachability, PAT revocation).
### security-engineer
```yaml
active: false
reason: "No runtime security surface in v1.30. The deck is a static artifact; the existing security posture (ABAC, KMS, JWKS) is referenced in slide content, not modified. Security review of the deck content is handled by the verify stage (no secrets, no publish.yml integration)."
```
## Phase-specific personas
## Phase-specific persona lifecycle
None. All five active personas span the full milestone. The
backend-engineer is heaviest in P1 (publish pipeline); the
lead-developer is heaviest in P2 (Gitea scrub + decisions) + P4
(operator guide) + P6 (final ship); the cli-engineer is heaviest in P3
(CFN archive + TF delegation); the security-engineer is heaviest in P1
(M1.5 gate tests) + P4 (operator guide security sections); the
data-engineer is heaviest in P4 (operator guide data sections).
- **ci-doc-writer**: created for P1, removed after P1 ships. The deck
source is the deliverable; no further presentation authoring in P2
(final review only).
- All other personas persist through P2 (final review + ship).
## Territory enforcement
- **Mode:** `warn` (per `config.json personas.territory_enforcement`).
- **Note:** v1.30 has a small, non-overlapping territory surface.
`lead-developer` owns `.ciagent/STATE.md` + `.ciagent/PROJECT.md`;
`backend-engineer` owns `scripts/render_pptx.py` + the PPTX;
`ci-doc-writer` owns the markdown source; `ci-cli-engineer` owns
the smoke-test script. No territory conflicts expected.

### v1.30 ID allocations (no collisions with shipped history)
- **Decisions:** `D-241..D-246` (6 decisions, authored in CLARIFY
across P0 + P3). Max existing D = D-240 (v1.29). Next free: D-247.
- **D-241** — Leadership deck is a single-shot, discrete, hand-
authored artifact (NOT a compression of the existing citizen-
developer pitch `nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`).
Audience: Infrastructure & Operations leadership (CTO + VP
Technology + Product Management). August 2026 presentation
anchor + November 2026 runway anchor. The existing citizen-
developer deck remains untouched. Overrides the post-v1.29
STATE.md intake assumption 3.
- **D-242** — Narrow `scripts/render_pptx.py` extension: accept an
explicit source `.md` path + `--output` filename; render a
right-aligned footer textbox on every slide (python-pptx does
not read the Marp `footer:` directive). Non-REQ-372 prerequisite
per spec §3.3 Edge 2.
- **D-243** — Date anchor discipline: August 2026 is a month-only
presentation anchor (no specific day); November 2026 is the
runway anchor (~90 days).
- **D-244** — Slide 1 becomes a black-background cover (overrides
grill G-1). Visual treatment only; on-slide text unchanged.
- **D-245** — Slide 7 "What works now" content addition. New
on-slide block before the ask. Records: 13 L1 + 2 L2 live
(confidence 0.800), next-steps arc (greenfield pilots → promote
to prod → SPGE constitutional library → infra layer). "sandbox"
is colloquial for the dev AWS account `581513795199`; "SPGE
constitutional library" is external/unverified-in-repo.
- **D-246** — 7 S&P-themed mermaid diagrams, one per slide,
rendered via local mmdc with vendored Chromium libs (24 Debian
bookworm .deb packages fetched, `.so` files extracted). `.mmd`
sources + PNGs committed for reproducibility.
- **Capabilities:** `CAP-042` (1 capability, appended at ship).
Max existing CAP = CAP-041 (v1.29). Next free: CAP-043.
### v1.30 Scope (CLARIFY-grounded, full autonomy)
- **In scope:** one hand-authored Marp source
(`docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md`, ≤7 slides); one
rendered PPTX (`docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx` via
the existing `scripts/render_pptx.py`, narrowly extended per
D-242); speaker notes per slide meeting the depth discipline
(REQ-372.4); footer `Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations`
on all 7 slides (REQ-372.5); S&P theme tokens only (REQ-372.6);
related-artifacts header comment (REQ-372.9); smoke test
`scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh` runnable on demand, NOT a CI
gate (REQ-372.8); vision `[1]` grounding citations in slides 3/5/7
speaker notes (REQ-372.12); CAP-042 in STATE.md (REQ-372.10);
D-241 record in PROJECT.md (REQ-372.11).
- **Out of scope (explicit exclusions):** compression/modification of
the existing citizen-developer deck; per-milestone refresh / auto-
regeneration; Marp HTML as a primary deliverable; multi-audience
variants; `publish.yml` integration; live AWS cutover of covered-
reference REQs; coverage floor restoration; S3 Object Lock
provisioning; roadmap authoring (PLAN.md remains source of record);
new CI plumbing.
### v1.30 Requirements
Full text in `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` §v1.30. Summary:
- **REQ-372.1** — Source markdown exists and is parseable (7 slides,
header comment).
- **REQ-372.2** — PPTX render via existing pipeline (7 slides, no
python-pptx exceptions).
- **REQ-372.3** — Slide count is exactly 7.
- **REQ-372.4** — Speaker notes depth per slide (word bands: 1/2/4/6
150300; 3/5 250400; 7 200300).
- **REQ-372.5** — Footer `Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations`
on every slide (right-aligned).
- **REQ-372.6** — Only S&P theme tokens `#D6002A`, `#1B1B1B`,
`#FFFFFF`, `#F0F0F0`.
- **REQ-372.7** — Slide-by-slide content matches the Slide Content Map
(visual review).
- **REQ-372.8** — Smoke test `scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh` exits
0 on pass (asserts af). Runnable on demand; NOT a CI gate.
- **REQ-372.9** — Related-artifacts comment in source header.
- **REQ-372.10** — CAP-042 appended to STATE.md at ship.
- **REQ-372.11** — D-241 recorded in PROJECT.md at ship.
- **REQ-372.12** — Vision `[1]` citations in slides 3, 5, 7 speaker
notes (ground to `docs/vision.md`).
### v1.30 Hard constraints
- **DO NOT modify** `docs/presentations/nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`
(the citizen-developer pitch). Per D-241, the two decks remain
discrete artifacts.
- **DO NOT add `publish.yml` integration** for this deck. Not tagged
or released via the existing pipeline.
- **DO NOT wire `scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh` as a CI gate.**
Runnable on demand. Single-shot artifact.
- **DO NOT extend the deck beyond 7 slides.** Slide count bound by
REQ-372.3.
- **DO NOT auto-derive future leadership decks** from STATE.md /
NORTH_STAR.md. Every leadership artifact is hand-authored.
- **DO NOT compress the deck for a sub-audience.** Multi-audience
variants are out of scope.
- **DO NOT introduce hex colors** outside the 4 S&P theme tokens.
### v1.30 Authoring conventions
- **Marp frontmatter:** `marp: true; theme: default; footer: "Nova
Platform - Infrastructure & Operations"; paginate: false; size: 16:9`
- **Theme tokens (only colors in source):** `#D6002A`, `#1B1B1B`,
`#FFFFFF`, `#F0F0F0`
- **Slide separator:** `---` on its own line
- **Speaker notes:** HTML comments `<!-- ... -->` within the slide
body, before the next `---`
- **Footer:** exact string `Nova Platform - Infrastructure &
Operations` via the Marp `footer:` directive (and rendered as a
right-aligned textbox per D-242, since python-pptx does not read
the Marp footer directive)
- **Per-slide word-count bands:** slides 1/2/4/6 in 150300; slides
3/5 in 250400; slide 7 in 200300
- **Vision grounding:** slides 3, 5, 7 speaker notes must contain at
least one `[1]` citation grounding to the principles, anti-goals,
or tenets in `docs/vision.md`
### v1.30 Render pipeline (existing — narrowly extended per D-242)
```bash
python3 scripts/render_pptx.py docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md \
--output docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx
```
The existing `scripts/render_pptx.py` is extended to accept an
explicit source `.md` path + `--output` filename (D-242). The source
is authored as `nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` to fit the existing
`-marp.md` pipeline convention; the output is
`nova-leadership-deck.pptx` per spec REQ-372.2. The renderer is also
extended to add a right-aligned footer textbox on every slide (the
python-pptx path does not read the Marp `footer:` directive).
### v1.30 phase status (live — tag `v1.29.3` = the v1.30 release)
- **P0** pre-execution → `v1.29.1` (in progress).
- **P1** execution (author + render + smoke test) → `v1.29.2`.
- **P2** final review + audit + milestone ship → `v1.29.3` = the
v1.30 release.
### v1.30 Slide Content Map (REQ-372.7 traceability reference)
The PPTX content is fully specified by the slide drafts below. Each
slide carries an exact on-slide body + speaker notes fingerprint.
Smoke test does not assert content strings verbatim (brittle); audit
verifies by visual review against this map. Any drift requires
`CLARIFY`.
#### Slide 1 — The frictions Nova absorbs
**On-slide body:**
> **The friction every delivery team lives today**
>
> *Velocity is up; the coordination surface around each change is up
> faster.*
>
> → Infrastructure is authored by people who don't specialize in
> infrastructure.
> → Every change is gated because one misconfiguration can expose the
> entire estate.
> → Compliance, security, and NFRs are checked late — fueling
> remediation cycles that erode delivery cadence and team morale.
>
> *Nova absorbs all three — owned building blocks, separation of
> concerns, attested compliance up front.*
**Speaker notes (~270 words):** Three-pattern problem frame grounded
in the binding-constraint claim [1]. Closing distinguishes
**infrastructure patching (Nova's lane)** from **AppSec (application
team's lane)** — Nova is not a remediation tool, not a security
blanket.
#### Slide 2 — Nova in one frame
**On-slide body:**
> **Nova in one frame**
>
> *You already recognize this pattern.*
>
> Every Central IT team curates a golden image for Windows, for Linux,
> for macOS. They own it. They patch it. They ship it. Consumers
> consume it without thinking about what's inside.
>
> Nova plays the same role one layer up — for everything that runs
> your cloud. S3 buckets with SSE-KMS posture. RDS instances with
> deletion protection and PITR. Lambda containers with static ABAC
> binaries. ALBs, ECS services, KMS keys, DynamoDB tables. Each one
> is owned by the platform team, patched by the platform team,
> attested by the platform team, and consumed by anyone who declares a
> contract.
>
> The difference: every primitive is versioned, tested across its
> entire lifecycle, and bounded by policy before any consumer ever
> touches it.
>
> *Nova's lane is the infrastructure beneath the application. AppSec,
> dependency review, and runtime application security stay where they
> have always been — with the application team.*
**Speaker notes (~210 words):** Trade-off pattern (Central IT vs.
Nova both trade per-application control for uniform operability);
platform-begins/ends framing [1]; sovereignty-via-boundary argument.
#### Slide 3 — Two principles that organize everything else
**On-slide body:**
> **Two principles that organize everything else**
>
> *The architecture is principled, not improvised. Two tenets
> discipline every other decision.*
>
> **Sovereign boundary.** Nova governs the delivery lifecycle; it
> does not reach upstream into product or software development [1].
> Integration with SDLC and PDLC partners happens exclusively through
> the validated, published contract surface. What lives outside the
> contract is not Nova's domain.
>
> **Lower autonomous · higher attested.** Lower environments proceed
> through agentic automation. Promotion to higher environments
> requires deliberate human attestation — not as a rubber stamp, but
> as policy-mandated accountability [1]. The compute the platform
> makes; the choice the human keeps.
>
> *Everything else in the architecture inherits from these two.*
**Speaker notes (~270 words):** Cross-tenet architecture discipline
argument — how the four-layer model, HITL gates, policy envelope, and
contract schema all inherit from the two tenets [1]. Closes with "The
next slide is what the line looks like in 18 months of milestones."
#### Slide 4 — Live · Attested · Stays human
**On-slide body:**
> **Live today**
> 41 capabilities across 12 domains. Contract ingestor, audit
> outbox, state buckets, and the live pilot run have been operating
> in our AWS estate since v1.7; pilot evidence at v1.26 returned
> confidence 0.800. DORA + adoption + policy-conformance metrics
> flow to PowerBI from the same audit stream as the lineage. Every
> finding carries one owner, one patch state, one audit entry — one
> pane, no second source of truth. A POC is production-grade by
> construction: there is no "POC that became prod" surprise.
>
> **Attested on promotion**
> qa, prod, and dr require a named human approver distinct from the
> PR author. Rubber stamps cannot be silently issued.
>
> **Stays human — by design**
> Confidence below the autonomy threshold at qa, prod, or dr triggers
> human escalation [1]. Some categories of decision are preserved for
> human judgment, and the platform says so out loud.
**Speaker notes (~230 words):** Three-column claim disambiguation
(real / observable / disciplined). Pilot evidence as record, not
forecast. Single-pane-of-glass via audit lineage [1]. POC-to-prod
discipline [1]. HITL discipline closing [1].
#### Slide 5 — The boundary keeps us honest
**On-slide body:**
> **The boundary keeps us honest**
>
> *Nova stays where it belongs.*
>
> **In Nova's lane**
> → Infrastructure primitives: S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, KMS,
> CloudFront.
> → Operational guardrails: confidence, policy, attestation, audit
> lineage.
> → CVE response at the infrastructure layer.
>
> **Outside Nova's lane**
> → Application business logic.
> → IDE, sprint, author workflows [1].
> → Application-layer security: AppSec, dependency review, runtime
> threat modeling.
> → VM, bare-metal, OS lifecycles [1].
>
> *The line is the contract. Everything below the contract is Nova.
> Everything above it stays where it has always been.*
**Speaker notes (~250 words):** Architecture boundary discipline.
AppSec stays with app team as autonomy-preserving design choice.
Boundary as operating principle, not defensive posture [1].
#### Slide 6 — The 18-month shape
**On-slide body:**
> **The 18-month shape**
>
> *Where CDLC meets SDLC + PDLC — through the contract surface, not
> above it.*
>
> **α (now → Q4'26) — Operating model + federated governance.** A
> named platform-ops body owns the platform; SLAs on every L2 are
> ratifiable by platform + consumer. The operating model is
> published; integration surfaces for SDLC and PDLC harnesses are
> documented at the contract boundary.
>
> **β (Q1'27) — Auto-published infra observability.** Every consumer
> stack ships with CloudWatch dashboards, uptime-kuma monitors, and
> alert routing on apply — infrastructure primitives publish
> observability as a property, no per-team authoring required.
>
> **γ (Q2'27) — Runbook generation from telemetry.** Every L1
> primitive ships with an auto-generated incident runbook derived
> from observed patterns. SREs get a starting runbook, not a blank
> page.
>
> **δ (Q3'27 → Q4'27) — Audit ledger, tamper-resistant + externally
> addressable.** The SQLite hash-evidence stream migrates to S3
> Object Lock + JWS signatures. External counsel verifies any
> production change back to a named human attestation.
>
> *Nova absorbs no IDE, no editor, no sprint tool, no agent harness.*
**Speaker notes (~250 words):** Boundary-respecting integration
argument. α as unlock + governance discipline [1]. β's infra-vs-app
observability discipline [1]. γ's infra-vs-app runbook discipline
[1]. δ as audit lineage outward, not upstream [1].
#### Slide 7 — What we ask · What comes back
**On-slide body:**
> **What we ask · What comes back**
>
> **What we ask.**
> Architecture endorsement. Runway to the next milestone.
>
> **Why now.**
> Agentic SDLC is reshaping the delivery curve. What is barely
> keepable today — incident response, compliance reconciliation,
> security remediation — does not compress at the same rate as the
> velocity it has to keep pace with. By the end of 2027, the gap
> between delivery acceleration and operational absorption is the
> structural risk.
>
> **What comes back.**
> The infrastructure foundation that absorbs the velocity. Metrics
> that tell us where to push next. Audit lineage that closes the
> regulatory question. The next milestone, **by November 2026**.
>
> *What we do not ask for: an IDE, a sprint tool, an author workflow,
> an upstream pipeline. Nova stays in its lane [1].*
**Speaker notes (~256 words):** Opens with "This is presented to
Infrastructure & Operations leadership in August 2026." Asks for
architecture endorsement and runway to next milestone by November
2026. Velocity framing with **60% goal as internal directional
target, not sourced claim**. Closes with "Use the runway to land the
architecture endorsement."

### Decisions (locked in CLARIFY, full autonomy — load-bearing for v1.30)
- **D-241 (Q3 override):** The leadership deck is a **discrete,
hand-authored artifact** — NOT a compression of the existing
23-slide citizen-developer pitch
(`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`). This overrides the
post-v1.29 STATE.md intake assumption 3 ("is a compression, not a
rewrite"). The existing citizen-developer deck remains untouched.
Rationale: the spec §2.2 + cover note forbid compression/mirroring;
the Slide Content Map is hand-authored content, not derived.
- **D-242 (render pipeline):** The existing `scripts/render_pptx.py`
is narrowly extended to (a) accept an explicit source `.md` path +
custom output `.pptx` filename (the cover note's invocation
`scripts/render_pptx.py docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.md`
is honoured via a path-aware argv), and (b) render a right-aligned
footer textbox on every slide with the exact string
`Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations` (the python-pptx
renderer does not read the Marp `footer:` directive; REQ-372.5
requires the footer on every rendered slide). This extension is a
non-REQ-372 prerequisite per spec §3.3 Edge 2 ("scope narrowly and
update `render_pptx.py` separately"). The source file is authored as
`nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` to fit the existing `-marp.md`
pipeline convention; the output is `nova-leadership-deck.pptx` per
spec REQ-372.2.
- **D-243 (date anchor):** August 2026 is a month-only presentation
anchor (no specific day); November 2026 is the runway anchor
(~90 days). Slide 7 references "Infrastructure & Operations
leadership" without naming a specific day. Resolves spec §7 Q1.
### Requirements
#### REQ-372.1 — Source markdown exists and is parseable
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the deck initiative is scoped, **when**
`docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` is read, **then** the
file exists, parses as valid Marp markdown, contains exactly 7 slides
delimited by `---`, and the file header carries the related-artifacts
comment (per REQ-372.9).
#### REQ-372.2 — PPTX render via existing pipeline
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown exists (REQ-372.1), **when**
`scripts/render_pptx.py` is invoked against the leadership deck source,
**then** `docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx` is written with
7 slides and python-pptx raised no exceptions.
#### REQ-372.3 — Slide count is exactly 7
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown, **when** slide boundaries are counted,
**then** the count equals 7.
#### REQ-372.4 — Speaker notes depth per slide
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown, **when** speaker notes (HTML comments)
are extracted per slide, **then** per-slide word counts fall within:
slides 1/2/4/6 in 150300; slides 3/5 in 250400; slide 7 in 200300.
Smoke test exits non-zero on violation.
#### REQ-372.5 — Footer on every slide
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown's Marp frontmatter `footer:` directive +
the python-pptx renderer extension (D-242), **when** the PPTX is
rendered, **then** every slide carries the right-aligned footer
`Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations`.
#### REQ-372.6 — S&P theme tokens are the only colors used
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown, **when** color values are extracted
(Marp directives + inline overrides), **then** the only hex colors
present are `#D6002A`, `#1B1B1B`, `#FFFFFF`, `#F0F0F0`.
#### REQ-372.7 — Slide-by-slide content traceability
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the rendered PPTX, **when** any slide N ∈ [1, 7] is opened,
**then** its content matches the **Slide Content Map** in
`.ciagent/PROJECT.md` §v1.30 spec. Any deviation from the map requires
`CLARIFY` before ship. Smoke test does not assert content strings
verbatim (brittle); audit verifies by visual review against the map.
#### REQ-372.8 — Smoke test exits 0 on pass
**Priority:** High · **Journey:** J1
**Given** `scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh` exists, **when** invoked
from the repo root, **then** the script asserts: (a) source file
exists, (b) slide count = 7, (c) per-slide word counts in band, (d)
footer string present in source, (e) only S&P hex colors used, (f)
PPTX file exists. Exits 0 on pass, non-zero on fail. Runnable on
demand; not wired as a CI gate.
#### REQ-372.9 — Related-artifacts comment in source header
**Priority:** Med · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown, **when** the file header is inspected,
**then** a comment exists that (i) names this deck as the leadership
artifact for Infrastructure & Operations, (ii) names August 2026 as
the presentation date, (iii) names
`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md` as a related-but-distinct
artifact and notes that this deck does not compress or modify it.
#### REQ-372.10 — CAP-042 appended to STATE.md at ship
**Priority:** Med · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the deck has shipped, **when** STATE.md is updated at the
v1.30 milestone ship wave, **then** a CAP-042 row exists capturing
artifact paths (`nova-leadership-deck-marp.md`,
`nova-leadership-deck.pptx`), audience (Infrastructure & Operations
leadership), single-shot intent, presentation month (August 2026).
#### REQ-372.11 — D-241 recorded in PROJECT.md at ship
**Priority:** Med · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the deck has shipped, **when** PROJECT.md is updated at the
v1.30 milestone ship wave, **then** a `D-241` entry exists capturing:
(a) single-shot nature of the deck, (b) audience (Infrastructure &
Operations leadership), (c) August 2026 anchor + November 2026 runway,
(d) explicit decision not to compress the existing citizen-developer
deck.
#### REQ-372.12 — Vision grounding citations in architecture-load slides
**Priority:** Med · **Journey:** J1
**Given** the source markdown, **when** the speaker notes are
inspected, **then** at least one `[1]` citation appears in slides 3,
5, and 7 — the three architecture-load slides — grounding the
principles, anti-goals, and integration-boundary claims to
`docs/vision.md` (the spec's `acdl-vision.md` reference [1]).

## §1 — Codebase Inventory (grounding)
## R1 — Existing render pipeline (`scripts/render_pptx.py`)
### 1.1 `core/` modules (the REQ-324 subcommand surface)
**Source:** `scripts/render_pptx.py` (688 lines, REQ-269 v1.23).
19 Python files under `core/` (plus `core/lambda/`, `core/metrics/`).
Two already have `_cli.py` companions (`contract_resolver_cli.py` 40
lines, `regression_verify_cli.py` 32 lines) — the thin-delegate
precedent for `nova/<module>.py`. **No `nova/` dir, no `bin/`, no
`[project.scripts]` entry exists today.** The CLI is greenfield.
**Behavior:**
- Argv: `render_pptx.py [deck-name]` → reads
`docs/presentations/{deck}-marp.md`, writes
`docs/presentations/{deck}-python.pptx` (lines 677-680). **Does
not accept a full path or non-`-marp.md` filename.**
- Frontmatter: stripped (lines 62-67) — the Marp `footer:`,
`paginate:`, `theme:`, `size:`, `style:` directives are NOT read
by the python-pptx path. They are source-only (smoke test checks
source; the Marp CLI path in `render_slides.sh` reads them, but
that path needs Chromium which is unavailable here).
- Slide splitting: `re.split(r"\n---\s*\n", ...)` after frontmatter
strip (line 69). Exactly 7 `---`-delimited slides required.
- Body parsing (`parse_slide`, lines 360-498):
- HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) are **skipped entirely** (lines
366-379). **Speaker notes are NOT embedded in the PPTX.**
Acceptable for REQ-372.4 (smoke test checks source word counts,
not PPTX-embedded notes).
- Headings `#`/`##` → title (first) or lead (subsequent).
- Bold lead `**...**` (own line, exactly 2 `**`) → `lead` block
(red, bold).
- Blockquotes `>``quote` block (grey, italic).
- Unordered list `[-*+]\s+...``bullet` (level by indent).
**`*italic*` (no space after `*`) does NOT match** — safe as
plain text.
- Ordered list `\d+\.\s+...``ordered`.
- Tables `| ... |` + separator → `table`.
- `→`-prefixed lines → `plain` text (not bullets). Content
preserved.
- `_strip_inline_emphasis` (lines 209-220): `**bold**`, `*italic*`,
`` `code` `` markers are collapsed to plain text in the PPTX.
Content is preserved; emphasis styling is lost (acceptable — the
PPTX is an editable comparison artifact; REQ-372.7 content match
is by visual review).
- Theme: hardcoded S&P constants (lines 37-43): `RED=#D6002A`,
`BLACK=#1B1B1B`, `WHITE=#FFFFFF`, `GREY_HEADER=#F0F0F0`,
`GREY_TEXT=#2E2E2E`, `BODY_TEXT=#1B1B1B`. **Note: `GREY_TEXT=#2E2E2E`
is a 5th color used internally for blockquote/body text.** This is
a renderer-internal color, NOT a source hex color — REQ-372.6
scopes to "color values extracted from the source markdown (Marp
directives + inline overrides)", so `#2E2E2E` in the renderer does
not violate REQ-372.6. The smoke test checks the *source* file for
hex colors.
- Footer: **NOT rendered.** No footer textbox is added by the
existing renderer. **D-242 extension required** to add a
right-aligned footer textbox on every slide.
- Title slide: `render_title_slide` (line 501) — black bg, red top
bar, white title. Triggered when `idx==0` + (`title_is_h1` or
`is_title_class`). The leadership deck's slide 1 uses a bold lead
(`**The friction...**`) as the first line — this is an H1 (`# The
friction...`) in the source, so slide 1 renders as a title slide
(black bg). **Decision for PLAN:** author slide 1 with `#` H1
title (title slide, black bg, red bar — strong opener) OR author
as `##` H2 (content slide, white bg). The Slide Content Map shows
slide 1 with a bold title + italic subtitle + arrows + italic
closing — a content-rich slide. **Recommend: `##` H2 title for all
7 slides → all render as content slides (white bg, red title bar)
for visual consistency.** Slide 1 as a black-bg title slide would
hide the `→` arrows in white-on-black, which is fine but differs
from the map's framing. The map doesn't specify background; visual
review accepts either. **Final call in PLAN:** all `##` content
slides for consistency + readability of the 3-pattern frame.
### 1.2 Existing Lambda pattern (`core/lambda/contract_ingestor.py`)
521 lines. Function URL + IAM auth (D-051). DynamoDB via lazy
module-global `boto3.resource`. Secrets Manager for tokens. Schema
validation in-Lambda. **`__main__` block already does CLI dispatch**
(`--check-readiness``core.submission_readiness.cli_main`) — this is
the dual-use precedent for REQ-329. Local testing via
`core/local_emulators.py:LocalLambdaStub`.
### 1.3 `core/env.py` — getter, not synthesizer
31 lines. `get_env(name, default)` reads `NOVA_<name>` from `os.environ`.
**REQ-330 needs a NEW `synthesize_local_env()` function** added here.
The closest existing pattern is `core/onboarding.py:generate_env_file()`.
### 1.4 `PolicyEngine` Protocol + `KyvernoJsonEngine` (the ABAC substrate)
`core/policy_engine.py`: `PolicyEngine` Protocol with `evaluate(payload,
policy_dir, contract_id) -> list[dict]`. `KyvernoJsonEngine` shells to
`kj scan --policy <dir> --payload <file> --output json`. Policy shape =
`ValidatingPolicy` (`apiVersion: json.kyverno.io/v1alpha1`) with
`spec.rules[].assert.all[].check` using JMESPath. Severity from
`metadata.annotations["nova.cloudinit.dev/severity"]`. **The payload
can be ANY JSON** — not just contracts (the v1.25 design point). This
is what makes kyverno-json usable for ABAC token vending (D-227).
### 1.5 `pyproject.toml` state
name `nova`, version `1.14.0`, requires-python `>=3.10` (spec wants
3.12 — bump needed for REQ-326). setuptools build backend. No
`[project.scripts]`, no `[tool.setuptools.packages.find]` — both needed.
Deps: `boto3`, `jsonschema`, `pyyaml`. No `argon2-cffi`, `cryptography`,
`pyjwt`, `click`/`typer`**argparse-only** is the repo convention.
### 1.6 Forge conventions
`.github/workflows/` + `.gitea/workflows/` kept byte-identical. Python
3.12 already pinned via `actions/setup-python@v5`. No composite action
exists yet — `nova cli-action` (REQ-326) is greenfield.
### 1.7 IAM baseline (load-bearing for REQ-340)
`.ciagent/IAM_POLICY.md` + `terraform/bootstrap/spike_runner_policy.json`.
The `nova-spike-runner` principal already has KMS (incl. `CreateKey`,
`Sign`, `GetPublicKey`), Lambda (incl. `PublishLayerVersion`), DynamoDB
grants. **New grants needed:** `cloudformation:*` (for `nova idp setup
--apply`) + `codeartifact:*` (for the wheel publish pipeline). Flagged
for P1/P2.
**Gaps for v1.30 (D-242 extension):**
1. Accept explicit source `.md` path + `--output` filename.
2. Add right-aligned footer textbox on every slide with exact string
`Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations`.
---
## §2 — CodeArtifact + Lambda Layer Pipeline (REQ-323)
## R2 — Smoke-test script conventions
**Recommendation:** single CI job on merge to `main` affecting
`core/**`/`adapters/**`/`nova/**`/`pyproject.toml`. Build wheel
(`python -m build --wheel`) → `twine upload` to CodeArtifact → build
layer (`pip install --target layer/python/ dist/nova-*.whl argon2-cffi
cryptography pyjwt`) → `aws lambda publish-layer-version` → record
version mapping in SSM `/nova/layer/nova-cli/version` (CAP-035). If
either publish fails, the job fails (merge blocked, REQ-323 AC).
**Source:** `scripts/check_north_star_diff.sh` (REQ-204), other
`scripts/check_*.sh` / `scripts/run_*.sh`.
**Atomicity:** wheel publish is idempotent (pin version to
`<semver>+<sha7>`); layer publish retries on failure. CAP-035 reads the
SSM parameter to verify layer-version ↔ wheel-version match.
**Conventions:**
- Shebang `#!/usr/bin/env bash`
- Header comment with purpose + Usage + Returns
- `set -euo pipefail`
- Exit 0 on pass, non-zero (1) on fail
- `echo "WARN: ..."` / `echo "ERROR: ..."` to stderr
- Runnable from repo root: `bash scripts/check_*.sh`
**Risks:** CodeArtifact not yet provisioned in `581513795199` (CLARIFY
assumption #1); `codeartifact:*` grant missing. Fallback: Gitea-hosted
wheel index. Layer `--compatible-architectures`: build x86_64 only for
v1.28 (aarch64 only if Graviton Lambda needed).
**v1.30 smoke test (`scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh`) assertions
(REQ-372.8 af):**
- (a) `docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` exists
- (b) slide count = 7 (count `---` separators on own line, excluding
frontmatter)
- (c) per-slide speaker-note word counts in band (extract HTML
comments per slide; slides 1/2/4/6: 150300; 3/5: 250400; 7:
200300)
- (d) footer string `Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations`
present in source (frontmatter `footer:` directive)
- (e) only S&P hex colors `#D6002A`, `#1B1B1B`, `#FFFFFF`, `#F0F0F0`
in source (grep for `#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}` and diff against the allow-
list)
- (f) `docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx` exists (hard
fail per Q-M4)
**Implementation approach:** pure bash + `grep`/`awk`/`wc`. No
python dependency for the smoke test (keeps it runnable on demand
without the python-pptx install). Slide count: count lines matching
`^---\s*$` after the frontmatter, +1. Speaker notes: per slide,
extract content between `<!--` and `-->`, strip HTML comment markers,
`wc -w`. Color scan: `grep -oiE '#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}'` on the source,
sort -u, compare to allow-list.
---
## §3 — CLI Subcommand Architecture (REQ-324)
## R3 — Marp frontmatter / footer / speaker-notes handling
**Recommendation:** three-layer. `nova/__init__.py` (marker) →
`nova/cli.py` (~80 lines, auto-discovers `nova/<module>.py` via
`pkgutil.iter_modules`, dispatches, emits `cli.invocation` audit event)
`nova/<module>.py` (≤50 lines each, exports `add_parser(subparsers)`
+ `run(args) -> int`, delegates to `core/`). Entry point:
`[project.scripts] nova = "nova.cli:main"`. **argparse-only** (no
click/typer — repo convention).
**Source:** `docs/presentations/nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`
(lines 1-27), Marp CLI v4.5.0 (available via npx).
**CAP-034 AST scan:** ≤50 lines; ≤3 function defs; every `ast.Call`
resolves to a `core.` import; no conditionals beyond `if __name__`.
**Existing deck frontmatter:**
```yaml
marp: true
theme: default
paginate: true
size: 16x9
footer: 'Nova — The Autonomous Cloud Delivery Platform'
style: |
section { ... color: #1B1B1B; ... }
h1 { color: #D6002A; ... }
...
```
**Subcommand groups:** `nova auth`, `nova idp`, `nova metrics` =
nested subparsers (same pattern, one level deeper).
**v1.30 leadership deck frontmatter (per cover note + spec):**
```yaml
marp: true
theme: default
footer: "Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations"
paginate: false
size: 16x9
style: |
section { font-family: "Akkurat Pro", "Helvetica Neue", "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 22px; color: #1B1B1B; padding: 48px 56px 40px; overflow: auto; }
h1 { color: #D6002A; font-size: 34px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; }
h2 { color: #D6002A; font-size: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.2em; }
blockquote { border-left: 4px solid #D6002A; color: #1B1B1B; font-size: 20px; padding-left: 12px; }
strong { color: #D6002A; }
...
```
**setuptools:** add `[tool.setuptools.packages.find]` including `nova`,
`nova.*`, `core`, `core.*`, `adapters.*`.
**Key differences from the existing deck:**
- `paginate: false` (existing: `true`) — per cover note.
- `footer: "Nova Platform - Infrastructure & Operations"` (existing:
different string) — per cover note + REQ-372.5.
- The `style:` block uses only the 4 S&P tokens. The existing deck's
`style:` uses `#2E2E2E` for blockquote color — **this must be
changed to `#1B1B1B`** in the leadership deck's `style:` block to
satisfy REQ-372.6 (only 4 hex colors in source). The renderer's
internal `GREY_TEXT=#2E2E2E` is not in the source, so it doesn't
violate REQ-372.6 — but the *source* `style:` block must not
contain `#2E2E2E`.
**Speaker notes:** HTML comments `<!-- ... -->` within the slide
body, before the next `---`. The Marp CLI renders these as speaker
notes in the HTML/PPTX; the python-pptx path skips them. The smoke
test extracts them from the *source* for word-count checking.

## §4 — Argon2id in Lambda Python 3.12 (REQ-334, D-228)
## R4 — Theme-token enforcement strategy
**Findings:** `argon2-cffi-bindings` v25.1.0 ships `cp39-abi3`
manylinux x86_64 + aarch64 wheels — **ABI-stable, compatible with
Python 3.9..3.13**. Lambda Python 3.12 runs Amazon Linux 2023 (glibc
2.34 ≥ 2.28 required). **The abi3 manylinux wheel loads cleanly.**
Confidence: 0.92.
**REQ-372.6:** only `#D6002A`, `#1B1B1B`, `#FFFFFF`, `#F0F0F0` as hex
colors in the source.
**D-228 AMENDMENT:** the "pure-Python fallback" clause is **weaker than
stated** — there is no maintained pure-Python Argon2 implementation. A
pure-Python crypto fallback is a **liability** (weaker hashing,
violates INV-16's spirit). Revised recommendation:
1. **Primary:** bundled manylinux abi3 wheel in the `nova-cli` Lambda
layer. Works. Confidence 0.92.
2. **Fallback:** detect `ImportError` at Lambda cold-start → **fail
closed** (503, refuse sign-ups). The Lambda health check reports
C-extension status. **Do NOT ship a pure-Python fallback.**
3. **Escape hatch:** Fargate (~1 week, per CLARIFY Q1).
Lambda memory ≥ 512 MB (Argon2id memory_cost ~20 MB + overhead).
**Enforcement:**
1. **Source `style:` block:** use only the 4 tokens. Replace the
existing deck's `#2E2E2E` (blockquote color) with `#1B1B1B`.
2. **No inline `color:` overrides** in slide bodies — the slides use
no inline HTML/color spans.
3. **Smoke test (8e):** `grep -oiE '#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}'` on the source,
`sort -u`, compare to the 4-token allow-list. Any other hex color
→ fail.
---
## §5 — KMS Asymmetric Signing for OIDC Tokens (REQ-337)
## R5 — python-pptx install path (this environment)
**Recommendation: key spec = `ECC_NIST_P256`, alg = `ECDSA_SHA_256`
(JWS `ES256`).** RSA-2048 is larger + slower; P-256 is RFC 7518's
recommended JWT alg. Signature size 64 bytes (vs RSA 256). JWKS
compactness matters (fetched often).
**Environment:** Debian/Ubuntu, Python 3.11.2, no system pip, no
root, no `python3-venv`/`python3-pip` packages, no `ensurepip`.
**The #1 gotcha:** KMS returns DER-encoded ECDSA signatures; **JWS
requires raw r‖s concatenation** (RFC 7515 §3.1.3). The token-vend
Lambda converts via `cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils.
decode_dss_signature` → `r.to_bytes(32) + s.to_bytes(32)`. ~5 lines.
Flagged for the threat model (REQ-347) + KMS round-trip test (REQ-350).
**Resolved install path:**
1. `curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o /home/opencode/tmp/get-pip.py`
2. `python3 get-pip.py --user --break-system-packages`
3. `/home/opencode/.local/bin/pip install --user --break-system-packages "python-pptx>=0.6.23"`
4. `pip install --user --break-system-packages "pytest>=8.0"` (for
verify stage)
**Flow:** validate PAT → ABAC eval → build JWT header/payload →
`kms.sign(Message=signing_input, MessageType="RAW", SigningAlgorithm=
"ECDSA_SHA_256")` → DER→raw → JWT. `kid` = KMS key alias.
**Result:** python-pptx 1.0.2 + pytest 9.1.1 installed to user-site.
`python3 -c "import pptx"` succeeds. No Chromium needed (python-pptx
is the render path, not Marp CLI PPTX).
**Verification:** use `pyjwt` (`jwt.decode` handles JWK→key natively);
`cryptography` only for SPKI→JWK in the JWKS Lambda.
**Rotation:** manual, 90 days (matches D-069 CMK cadence). New key +
re-point alias + JWKS serves both `kid`s during overlap.
**Confirmed in RESEARCH execution:** all commands ran successfully
in this session.

## §6 — JWKS Endpoint (REQ-338, D-230)
## R6 — Vision document grounding for `[1]` citations
**D-230 confirmed.** Lambda function URL (`AuthType: NONE` — JWKS is
public-key only) + reserved concurrency 10 (max 100 RPS, JWKS is
cached client-side). `Cache-Control: max-age=3600`. Separate tiny
`nova-idp-jwks` Lambda (separation of concerns).
**Source:** `docs/vision.md` (the spec's `acdl-vision.md` / `[1]`
reference).
**Custom domain + WAF = OPTIONAL** via `--public-jwks-domain <domain>`
flag on `nova idp setup`. Without it, raw function URL (acceptable for
v1.28 pilot). With it: CloudFront + ACM + WAF rate-based rule (>100
req/5min per IP) + Route53 ALIAS. Adds ~8 CloudFormation resources.
**Key tenets for slide grounding:**
- **§1 The Friction** (slide 1): "Software delivery scales with the
coordination surface around it, not the engineering inside it."
Grounds the three-pattern problem frame + binding-constraint
claim.
- **§3 Core Tenets** (slides 3, 5, 7):
- "The Delivery Lifecycle is a Sovereign Boundary" — grounds
slide 3's Sovereign boundary tenet + slide 5's boundary
discipline + slide 7's "Nova stays in its lane."
- "Lower Environments are Autonomous; Higher Environments are
Attested" — grounds slide 3's Lower autonomous · higher attested
tenet + slide 4's HITL discipline.
- "Infrastructure is Consumed, Not Maintained" — grounds slide 5's
"VM, bare-metal, OS lifecycles" exclusion.
- **§4 Domain Boundaries** (slides 2, 5, 6): "The platform begins
where the artifact is compiled and ends where it runs in
production." "Out of scope: Application business logic, IDE
workflows, product backlog management, sprint planning, compute
requiring node-level or OS-level management." Grounds slide 5's
in-lane/out-of-lane split + slide 6's "Nova absorbs no IDE, no
editor, no sprint tool, no agent harness."
**Defer API Gateway** (D-230) — $3.50/M + complexity for no benefit at
v1.28 volume.
**Citation convention:** `[1]` in speaker notes, resolving to
`docs/vision.md`. The spec §citation-references confirms `[1]`
`acdl-vision.md` (vision document, source [1]).
---
## §7 — kyverno-json ABAC Policy (REQ-339, D-227)
## R7 — CAP-024 regression policy (collision check)
**D-227 confirmed.** Policy at `platform/abac/token-vend.policy` =
`ValidatingPolicy` with JMESPath checks against a payload of
`{subject, requested_claims, target_resource, environment, pat_jti,
policy_version}`. Decision logic: any `fail` PCR with severity
`critical` → deny (403 + audit); all pass → allow → KMS sign.
**Source:** `adapters/kyverno-json/policies/regression/cap-024-deck-structure.json`
+ `tests/test_regression_policies.py`.
**`policy_version` (D-231):** git SHA of the policy file, baked into
the Lambda layer, recorded in every `token.vend.allowed/denied` audit
event.
**BIGGEST PACKAGING RISK:** the token-vend Lambda needs the `kj` Go
binary (~40 MB) on PATH. Bundle it in the `nova-cli` Lambda layer
(`wget` the Linux amd64 release into `layer/bin/kj`). `KyvernoJsonEngine
.is_configured()` checks `which kj` → `/opt/bin/kj` (layer mount). P2
spike confirms it runs in AL2023 Lambda. Fallback: Fargate. Confidence
0.75 — needs the spike.
**Finding:** CAP-024 validates the citizen-developer deck's 4-beat
arc (Problem/Solution/Proof/Roadmap+Ask) against fixture files
(`clean.json`/`drifted.json` in `tests/fixtures/`), NOT against the
actual deck markdown files. The leadership deck
(`nova-leadership-deck-marp.md`) does NOT pass through this policy.
No collision risk. The leadership deck's 7-slide structure is a
different artifact (CAP-042, not CAP-024).
---
## §8 — PAT Lifecycle (REQ-342, REQ-343, REQ-344)
## R8 — `slides.yml` CI (non-interference check)
**PAT = signed JWT** (KMS-signed, `typ: "developer_pat"` distinguishes
from `nova_oidc_token` per INV-14). Claims: `iss, sub, typ, jti, iat,
exp, roles, owner`.
**Source:** `workflows-src/slides.yml`.
**`nova-pats` DynamoDB table** (4th table): PK=`jti`, GSI1=`sub` (list
PATs for user), GSI2=`pat_hash` (lookup by hash). Only the hash stored
(not raw PAT). Revoked PATs retained for audit.
**Revocation (D-229 CLARIFIED):** GSIs don't support strongly-consistent
reads. The token-vend Lambda extracts `jti` from the PAT JWT (decode
without verifying — signature verified separately) →
`GetItem(PK=jti, ConsistentRead=True)` on the main table. Satisfies the
60s SLO. Confidence 0.90.
**CLI:** `nova auth login` (session→OIDC token, store locally),
`nova auth revoke --pat <jti>`, `nova auth status` (active credential,
mode, selection_reason). Local file `~/.nova/credentials.json` (0600,
never to stdout, in `.gitignore`). "Most recent wins" (D-226 Q5) =
`active_credential_jti` field.
**Finding:** The CI workflow triggers on `docs/presentations/**`
path changes, but `scripts/render_slides.sh` defaults to
`DECK="nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery"` and only renders that one
deck. Adding `nova-leadership-deck-marp.md` to
`docs/presentations/` will trigger the CI, but it will only re-
render the citizen-developer deck (no-op if that deck is unchanged).
The leadership deck is NOT rendered by CI (per spec: no CI gate, no
`publish.yml` integration). **No interference.** The bot commit from
CI (if any) will be a no-op re-render of the unchanged citizen-
developer deck.
---
## §9 — `nova idp setup` CloudFormation (REQ-340, REQ-341)
**Template (raw dict → JSON, no troposphere dep):** 2-3 Lambdas, 4
DynamoDB tables (`nova-users`, `nova-sessions`, `nova-password-resets`,
`nova-pats`), KMS key `alias/nova-oidc-signing` (ECC_NIST_P256),
function URLs, IAM roles, optional CloudFront/WAF/ACM.
**`--check`:** validates prerequisites (AWS creds, CFN perms, KMS perms,
layer exists via CAP-035). Prints required IAM policy delta.
**`--apply`:** generate → print to temp file + resource summary →
`$PAGER``Apply? [y/N]` → `cloudformation deploy --capabilities
CAPABILITY_IAM`. NFR-10 satisfied by the explicit prompt.
**`--dry-run`:** resource list only, no write.
**`--verify`:** runs the KMS round-trip test (REQ-350).
**New IAM grants needed:** `cloudformation:*`, `iam:CreateRole`/`PassRole`,
`lambda:CreateFunction`/`CreateFunctionUrlConfig`,
`dynamodb:CreateTable`, `kms:CreateKey`/`CreateAlias`, `ssm:PutParameter`.
---
## §10 — GitHub + Gitea Marketplace Composite Action (REQ-326)
**Single `action.yml`** at `.github/actions/nova-cli/action.yml`,
referenced by both GitHub + Gitea via `uses: continuous-intelligence/
acdl/.github/actions/nova-cli@v1.28`. Composite action: `setup-python@v5`
(python 3.12) → CodeArtifact login + `pip install nova` → `nova
${{ inputs.command }}`. `NOVA_CLIENT_MODE` env from input.
**Byte-identical test (REQ-326 AC2):** CI matrix runs the action on
GitHub `ubuntu-latest` + Gitea `act_runner` with same inputs; assert
same stdout/exit code.
**Risk:** Gitea `actions/checkout`/`setup-python` may need Gitea
mirrors (`https://gitea.com/actions/...`). P1 test on the actual Gitea
instance. Confidence 0.70.
---
## §11 — `mode_resolver` Priority (REQ-327, D-226)
**TTY detection: check `sys.stdin.isatty()`** (NOT stdout). Edge 3
(`nova apply | tee log.txt`): stdout piped, stdin is TTY → user is
present → `interactive` (correct). `sys.stdout.isatty()` would
misresolve to `agent`. **`stdin` answers "is a human at a terminal?"**
**Credential type detection:** read `~/.nova/credentials.json`
`active_credential_jti`'s `type` (`developer_pat`/`nova_oidc_token`).
Both + TTY → `interactive`; + no TTY → `agent` (INV-14).
**Property tests (REQ-349):** `hypothesis` with strategies for
flag/env/cred/tty. Properties: deterministic (INV-13), flag-wins,
invalid-env-ignored, no-silent-fallback (every resolution has a
non-empty `selection_reason`).
**`mode_resolver.py` lives in `core/`** (not `nova/`) so Lambdas could
import it, but **it's CLI-only** — the token-vend Lambda doesn't resolve
modes.
---
## §12 — Persona Assessment
See `.ciagent/PERSONAS.md` for the full YAML roster. Summary:
- **Deactivate** frontend-engineer (no UI) + data-engineer (no data
pipelines in v1.28).
- **Activate** backend-engineer (Lambda/DynamoDB/KMS/CodeArtifact) +
lead-developer (plan/review/ship).
- **Add** security-engineer (Argon2id/KMS/ABAC/threat model) +
cli-engineer (subcommand surface/mode_resolver/argparse/CAP-034).
---
## §13 — Architecture Sketch (ARCHITECTURE.md §12.10)
See `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md` §12.10 (appended this stage). New
greenfield files: `nova/` CLI package, `platform/abac/token-vend.policy`,
`core/mode_resolver.py`, `core/env.py:+synthesize_local_env()`,
`core/lambda/nova_idp_{auth,token_vend,jwks}.py`, `tests/test_*`,
`docs/{operator-guide-idp,developer-guide-auth,threat-model}.md`.
---
## Decisions re-validated / amended
| Decision | Status | Change |
|---|---|---|
| D-226 | re-validated + refined | `sys.stdin.isatty()` is the TTY check (not stdout) |
| D-227 | re-validated | `kj` Go binary bundled in Lambda layer — packaging risk flagged |
| D-228 | **amended** | Pure-Python fallback → fail-closed + Fargate (pure-Python crypto is a liability) |
| D-229 | re-validated + clarified | Strong read on main table PK (`jti`), not GSI (GSIs don't support strong reads) |
| D-230 | re-validated | CloudFront/WAF/ACM made optional via `--public-jwks-domain` flag |
| D-231 | re-validated | `policy_version` (git SHA) in the ABAC payload |
**New recommendations for PLAN/GRILL to formalize (no D-ID yet):**
- KMS key spec = `ECC_NIST_P256`, alg `ES256`; DER→raw ECDSA conversion required.
- `nova-cli` Lambda layer bundles the `kj` Go binary (~40 MB).
- `nova-pats` = 4th DynamoDB table; PK=`jti`, GSI1=`sub`, GSI2=`pat_hash`.
- `sys.stdin.isatty()` is the TTY heuristic.
- `[project.scripts] nova = "nova.cli:main"`; argparse-only.
- `cloudformation:*` + `codeartifact:*` = new IAM baseline grants (P1/P2).
---
## RESEARCH complete
All 11 research questions answered with cited findings + concrete
recommendations + risks. D-228 amended (fail-closed, not pure-Python
fallback). The `kj` binary packaging is the highest-risk item (P2
spike). Next: PLAN.

# Nova — v1.29 Research Findings
> Phase: research (pre-execution). Milestone: v1.29 (Reposplit + Identity
> Layer Bring-Live). Status: research. Researcher: ci-researcher.
> Autonomy: full.
>
> Research delegated to the ci-researcher subagent (10 topics — Terraform
> import idempotency, `data.aws_ecr_image` digest resolution,
> `lifecycle.precondition`, CloudFront OAC for Lambda Function URL, WAF
> on CloudFront, ACM DNS validation + Route53 alias, `kj` Go binary
> static build, ECR tag format, codebase inspection, Gitea Actions HITL).
> This file is the curated summary. Key findings + recommendations below.
---
## §1 — Terraform `import` idempotency (REQ-361)
- `terraform import <addr> <id>` reads an existing cloud resource into
state without modifying it; the resource must have a matching
`resource` block in config.
- Re-importing an address already in state fails with **`Error: Resource
already managed by Terraform`** (non-zero exit). The CI import step
must treat this specific error as idempotent success (grep the
message, not just exit code) — this is the IMPORT-IDEMPOTENT contract.
- `importable-resources.tf` is a convention (not built-in): a dedicated
file listing resource addresses imported from the live account (S3
state bucket, DynamoDB tables, IAM OIDC role, KMS keys) so the import
surface is enumerable + reviewable.
- Drift detection: `terraform plan -detailed-exitcode` (exit 2 = drift)
fails the apply; the state bucket is bootstrapped manually then
imported (never created by Terraform — avoids bootstrapping the
bootstrapper, Q1/§7.1, D-235).
**Recommendation:** `nova-platform-ops` maintains an
`importable-resources.tf` map; CI import treats "already managed" as
idempotent success; `plan -detailed-exitcode` asserts zero drift.
## §2 — `data.aws_ecr_image` digest resolution (REQ-355, REQ-371)
- `data "aws_ecr_image" "kj_image" { repository_name = …; image_tag = … }`
resolves the tag to an **immutable `sha256:` digest** via
`image_digest`.
- ECR tags are mutable by default (a re-push moves a tag → different
digest). KJ-LOCKSTEP pins on `image_digest`, never the tag.
- `image_uri` = `${data.aws_ecr_repository.kj.repository_url}@${data.aws_ecr_image.kj_image.image_digest}`
— pinning by `@digest`, not `:tag`. Both Lambda and Fargate reference
the same data source → same digest by construction.
- `data.aws_ecr_image` reads at plan time; if the tag doesn't exist
(engineering hasn't published), the data source fails the plan (Q7
fail-closed).
**Recommendation:** Both image-bearing resources reference a single
`data.aws_ecr_image.kj_image`; `image_uri` = `repo@digest`; LOCKSTEP is
true by construction + the precondition (§3) is a verification.
## §3 — `lifecycle.precondition` — the KJ-LOCKSTEP mechanism (REQ-371)
- **Version correction (D-240):** preconditions introduced in
**Terraform v1.2.0 (May 2022)**, NOT v1.4+ as the spec implies. The
ops repo `required_version = ">= 1.2.0"` suffices.
- Syntax: `precondition` block inside `lifecycle { … }` for resources.
Evaluated **before** the resource action (during planning); a failing
precondition aborts the **plan** with the custom `error_message`.
- `error_message` is a string expression — can interpolate values:
`error_message = "KJ-LOCKSTEP: Fargate='${aws_ecs_task_definition.kj.image}' canonical='${data.aws_ecr_image.kj_image.image_digest}'"`.
- Asserting two attributes resolve to the same value:
```hcl
lifecycle {
precondition {
condition = self.image_uri == "${data.aws_ecr_repository.kj.repository_url}@${data.aws_ecr_image.kj_image.image_digest}"
error_message = "KJ-LOCKSTEP: Lambda image does not match the resolved ECR digest"
}
}
```
**Pitfalls:** precondition blocks cannot reference `count`/`for_each`
unexpanded resources; both resources must depend on the same data source
(explicit `depends_on` if `image_uri` is computed indirectly).
**Recommendation:** Add `lifecycle { precondition { … } }` to **both**
the Lambda and Fargate task; set `required_version = ">= 1.2.0"`.
## §4 — CloudFront OAC pinning to Lambda Function URL (D-233, REQ-364)
- **Critical:** CloudFront OAC for a Lambda Function URL origin requires
`AuthType: AWS_IAM` on the Function URL (NOT `AuthType: NONE`). With
`AWS_IAM`, direct access returns 403 unless SigV4-signed; CloudFront +
OAC signs requests on the viewer's behalf → CloudFront 200, direct 403
(INV-18 JWKS-EDGE-ONLY).
- OAC resource: `OriginAccessControlOriginType = "lambda"`,
`SigningBehavior = "always"`, `SigningProtocol = "sigv4"`. Attach via
`OriginAccessControlId` on the origin block; HTTPS only.
- Resource-based permission: `aws lambda add-permission --action
lambda:InvokeFunctionUrl --principal cloudfront.amazonaws.com
--source-arn <distribution ARN>` — binds the Function URL to the
specific distribution.
- OAC replaces the deprecated S3-origin OAI; for Lambda origins, OAC is
the only signing mechanism.
**Pitfall:** if `AuthType: NONE` is left on the Function URL, OAC signing
is ignored and the URL stays public — the 403 guarantee evaporates.
**Recommendation:** JWKS Function URL `authorization_type = "AWS_IAM"`,
`lambda`-type OAC (`SigningBehavior: always`), `lambda:InvokeFunctionUrl`
permission scoped to the distribution ARN.
## §5 — WAF WebACL rate-limit + AWS Managed Rules on CloudFront (REQ-365)
- Rate-based rule: `RateBasedStatement` with `Limit: 3000`,
`AggregateKeyType: "IP"`, `EvaluationWindowSec: 300` (5-min window;
accepted values 60/120/300/600). WAF checks ~every 10s.
- AWS Managed Rules Common Rule Set = managed rule group
`AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet` (vendor `AWS`), attached as a separate
priority from the rate rule.
- CloudFront WebACLs **must** be created in `us-east-1` with
`Scope = "CLOUDFRONT"` (regional WebACLs cannot associate with
CloudFront).
- CloudWatch metrics: per-rule `VisibilityConfig.CloudWatchMetricsEnabled
= true`; S3 access logs via `aws_cloudfront_distribution.logging_config`.
**Recommendation:** WebACL in `us-east-1` `Scope=CLOUDFRONT`; rate rule
(3000/5min/IP) + Common Rule Set; associate to JWKS distribution;
CloudWatch metrics + S3 access logs.
## §6 — ACM cert DNS validation + Route53 alias (REQ-366)
- ACM DNS validation: `aws_acm_certificate` with
`validation_method = "DNS"`; create `aws_route53_record` for each
`domain_validation_options` CNAME; `aws_acm_certificate_validation`
waits on `ISSUED`. For CloudFront, the cert **must** be in
`us-east-1`.
- Route53 alias: `type = "A"`, `alias { name =
aws_cloudfront_distribution.jwks.domain_name; zone_id =
aws_cloudfront_distribution.jwks.hosted_zone_id;
evaluate_target_health = false }`.
- `route53_record_not_resolvable` failure mode: the alias doesn't
resolve until CloudFront `status = Deployed` AND ACM cert `ISSUED`. If
the validation CNAME is mis-created or Route53 is not authoritative,
the CNAME never validates → cert stays `PENDING_VALIDATION` → alias
NXDOMAIN.
**Recommendation:** ACM cert in `us-east-1` DNS validation; validation
CNAMEs in the authoritative Route53 zone; `aws_acm_certificate_validation`
gates on `ISSUED`; Route53 A-alias to the distribution. Operator guide
documents the `route53_record_not_resolvable` → check-cert-status
debugging path.
## §7 — `kj` Go binary static build for AL2023 Lambda (KJ-STATIC, REQ-354, REQ-363)
- Build: `CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-s
-w" -o kj ./…`. `CGO_ENABLED=0` is load-bearing — no cgo, no dynamic
libc link.
- `file(1)` must report `ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, statically
linked` + absence of `shared library`/`interpreter`. Secondary:
`readelf -d kj` shows no `NEEDED` entries.
- Base image `public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.12-al2023`; copy binary to
`/opt/kj/kj` `chmod 0555` owned by `sbx_user:1051` (Lambda sandbox
user, uid/gid 1051 in AL2023). `0555` + immutable-owned prevents
runtime tampering.
- Lambda handler invokes `subprocess.run(['/opt/kj/kj', 'apply', …],
capture_output=True, check=True)` — `kj` is a substrate binary, not a
library; the Python handler is a thin shim. kyverno-json (INV-4) is
separate + unaffected.
**Pitfall:** `CGO_ENABLED=1` (default on systems with gcc) produces a
dynamically-linked binary; AL2023 glibc mismatch → runtime
`GLIBC_X not found`. `CGO_ENABLED=0` eliminates this.
**Recommendation:** `publish.yml` P1 builds with `CGO_ENABLED=0
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64`, asserts `file` reports `statically linked` +
no `shared library` (fail build otherwise), copies to `/opt/kj/kj`
`chmod 0555`, handler calls `subprocess.run(['/opt/kj/kj', 'apply', …])`.
## §8 — ECR image tag format (REQ-354 AC 3) — SPEC CORRECTION (D-239)
- **ECR image tags do NOT allow `+`.** The ECR tag regex is
`^[a-zA-Z0-9]+(?:[._-][a-zA-Z0-9]+)*$` — permitted chars
`[a-zA-Z0-9._-]` only; `+` is rejected by `PutImage`/`BatchGetImage`
with `InvalidParameterException`.
- The spec's tag format `v1.29.x+kj-<sha>` is **invalid** as written.
Correct format: **`v1.29.x-kj-<sha>`** (replace `+` with `-`).
- The digest is the immutable trust surface regardless of the tag string
— a re-tag is detectable only via digest mismatch. The tag is a human
hint, not a security boundary.
**Decision D-239 (spec correction):** REQ-354 AC 3 tag format corrected
to `v1.29.x-kj-<sha>`. Confidence 0.95. Applied to REQUIREMENTS.md
§v1.29 REQ-354 AC (3).
## §9 — Codebase inspection (actual file paths)
| Target | Path | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| `publish.yml` | `.github/workflows/publish.yml` (165 lines) + `.gitea/workflows/publish.yml` mirror | Currently publishes wheel + Lambda layer on `push: branches: [main]` (NOT tag-triggered). P1 must change trigger to `on: push: tags: ['v1.29.*']` + attach Lambda zip + ECR image to GitHub Releases. |
| `nova/idp/setup.py` CFN | `nova/idp/setup.py` (40 lines, thin CLI dispatcher) + `core/lambda/nova_idp_setup.py` (actual CFN logic, importlib-loaded because `lambda` is reserved) | REQ-369 archives to `docs/archive/nova-idp-cfn-v1.28.md`; `--apply` delegates to `terraform apply`. |
| `platform/abac/kj-version.txt` | `platform/abac/kj-version.txt` (2 lines: `v0.0.3` + SHA `4ebb9a19...`) | Already pins `kj` v0.0.3 + source SHA from v1.28 P4. P1 reads this SHA to embed in the ECR tag + verify the build. |
| `.gitea/` scrub targets | `.gitea/workflows/` (7 files) + `scripts/sync_workflows.py` (line 26: `GITEA_DIR`), `scripts/sync_to_nova.sh`, `scripts/rotate_spike_key.sh`, `terraform/bootstrap/`, ~100 `.ciagent/` doc matches | REQ-367 P2 removes `.gitea/`, scrubs `gitea` from `.github/` `docs/` `pyproject.toml` `README.md` `.ciagent/`, asserts `forge_parity_disabled` in CI (D-232). `sync_workflows.py` is the central removal target. |
| Consumer `deploy.yml` | NOT in `acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml` (that's the platform reusable workflow). Consumer's deploy.yml is in the `nova-blockchain-exchange` project — documented at `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/REQUIREMENTS.md` (REQ-314) + `.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/README.md`. | P5 bumps consumer's `uses:` ref `@v1.25``@v1.29` in both `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` + `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` (consumer's `.gitea/` is out of scope for REQ-367 — that scrub is `acdl/acdl` only) + smoke test. |
## §10 — Gitea Actions HITL approval (REQ-357, TFM-HITL)
- Gitea Actions has **no Environments API** with required reviewers. The
approval signal is `gitea.actor` (triggering user) +
`gitea.triggering_actor` (may differ on re-run — the re-dispatcher).
- PR author: `${{ gitea.event.pull_request.user.login }}`. INV-3 check:
`${{ gitea.triggering_actor }} != ${{ gitea.event.pull_request.user.login }}`
(use `triggering_actor` for re-run safety).
- Gitea scoped-workflows (v1.27+) supports **required workflows** that
gate PR merges via status checks — but this gates *merge*, not *apply*.
- The `workflow_dispatch` approve-input pattern (D-042) is the mechanism:
plan runs automatically on PR; apply is a separate `workflow_dispatch`
with `approve_apply` input; the apply job asserts INV-3 + fails closed.
- **Codebase precedent:** `core/hitl_gates.py` + `core/separation_of_duties.py`
(D-042) — `hitl_gates.attest(env, approver)` reads
`GITHUB_ACTOR`/`FORGE_ACTOR`, writes to DynamoDB outbox;
`separation_of_duties.check` compares approvers. This is the production
pattern to extend for `nova-platform-ops` `terraform apply`.
**Pitfalls:** scoped-workflow required-check enforcement needs branch
protection on `main`; a re-run changes `gitea.actor` to the re-dispatcher
— use `gitea.triggering_actor` for the effective approver.
**Recommendation:** `nova-platform-ops` uses `workflow_dispatch`
approve-input pattern (extending `hitl_gates.py`/`separation_of_duties.py`);
plan auto-runs on PR, apply is `workflow_dispatch` with `approve_apply`;
apply job asserts `${{ gitea.triggering_actor }} != ${{ gitea.event.pull_request.user.login }}`;
branch protection on `main` + required scoped-workflow status check.

## New decisions for the decision ledger (research-derived)
| D-ID | Title | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| **D-239** | ECR tag format `v1.29.x+kj-<sha>` invalid (`+` not in ECR tag regex) → corrected to `v1.29.x-kj-<sha>` | 0.95 | §8 ECR API PutImage character class |
| **D-240** | `lifecycle.precondition` introduced in Terraform v1.2.0 (not v1.4+); ops repo `required_version = ">= 1.2.0"` suffices | 0.98 | §3 Terraform v1.2.0 CHANGELOG |
Both are spec-vs-reality corrections logged at full autonomy (confidence
≥ 0.60 threshold). D-239 is applied to REQUIREMENTS.md §v1.29 REQ-354
AC (3). D-240 is documented in the operator guide (P4) for the
`nova-platform-ops` `required_version` floor.

## RESEARCH complete
All 10 research questions answered with cited findings + concrete
recommendations + risks. Two spec corrections (D-239 ECR tag, D-240
Terraform precondition floor). The highest-risk item is the M1.5
verification gate (Q7 carry-forward — `kj` static build + 3 consecutive

## Persona assessment (lead-developer)
**Active personas for v1.30:**
- **lead-developer** (coordination) — owns STATE.md CAP-042, PROJECT.md
D-241, milestone coordination. Territory: `.ciagent/STATE.md`,
`.ciagent/PROJECT.md`.
- **backend-engineer** (backend) — owns `scripts/render_pptx.py`
extension + PPTX render + python-pptx install. Territory:
`scripts/render_pptx.py`, `docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx`.
Framework override: python-pptx (not fastify/hono — the default
frameworks don't match this project's Python stack).
- **ci-doc-writer** (custom, phase-specific) — owns the Marp markdown
deck source. Territory:
`docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md`. Created for this
phase (presentation authoring); removed after P1.
- **ci-cli-engineer** (custom) — owns the smoke-test script.
Territory: `scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh`.
**Deactivated personas:**
- **frontend-engineer** — already `active: false` in config (no UI).
Confirmed.
- **data-engineer** — no schema/migration work in this milestone.
Deactivate for v1.30.
**Territory enforcement:** `warn` (per config).

Project: Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps

System Health: YELLOW — coverage 73.8% below 80% release-gate floor (NFR debt carried from v1.28, unchanged through v1.29 feature milestone); nova-platform-ops M1 cutover pending operator action (covered-reference REQs 355-366, 371 not yet live-verified)
Raw Idea (≤ 3 sentences):
UNKNOWN — needs investigation (no raw idea provided; the PDLC trigger is the post-v1.28 state intake, not a new initiative).
Technology Leadership needs a compressed presentation deck (≤7 slides, S&P theme colors) communicating: the problem statement, who the target audience is, what the platform is + how it solves the problem, what works now, and an 18-month roadmap from CDLC to SDLC + PDLC integration. Leaders do not want long presentations — the existing 23-slide deck is too verbose for this audience.
Trigger: v1.28 milestone completion (CLI Canonicalization + Identity Layer shipped 2026-08-19).
Trigger: post-v1.29 milestone completion — the platform has shipped reposplit + identity layer bring-live + the operator guide, making the story ready for leadership consumption.
Desired outcome: UNKNOWN — the PO defines the next initiative from this intake.
Desired outcome: a leadership-ready deck (≤7 slides, Marp + python-pptx, S&P theme `#D6002A` / `#1B1B1B` / `#FFFFFF` / `#F0F0F0`) that secures buy-in for the 18-month integration roadmap (CDLC → SDLC → PDLC).

### 5. Recent History & Quality Gates (last 1-2 milestones)
Last Shipped: v1.28 (tag `v1.27.6`, 2026-08-19) — CLI Canonicalization + Identity Layer. 31 REQs (REQ-323..353), 6 CAPs (CAP-033..038), 6 INV (INV-12..17), 6 decisions (D-226..231). 7 phases (P0 + P1..P5 + P6 final). 1000 tests passing. Grill PROCEED 0.76 (3 critical + 16 tracked conditions resolved). Merged to main `c0cb188`.
Last Shipped: v1.29 (tag `v1.28.6`, 2026-08-20) — Reposplit + Identity Layer Bring-Live. 6 acdl-side REQs complete (REQ-354, 367, 368, 369, REQ-OPS-GUIDE, REQ-CONSUMER-BUMP) + 14 covered-reference REQs (355-366, 371). 3 CAPs (CAP-039..041), 1 INV (INV-18), 10 NFR constraints, 9 decisions (D-232..240). 7 phases (P0 + P1..P5 + P6 final). Grill PROCEED 0.72 (4 critical fixes). Review PASS-WITH-ISSUES (3 P0 fixes). Audit all PASS. Merged to main `9dc5669`, pushed + 8 Gitea releases created (ids 803-810).
In Progress: N/A (no phase in progress; v1.28 complete; next milestone not yet scoped)
In Progress: N/A (no phase in progress; v1.29 complete; next milestone not yet scoped — this intake initiates the leadership deck initiative)
Coverage Floor: 73.8% (3119/4227 lines covered) — BELOW the 80% release-gate floor. v1.28 new modules (`nova/`, `core/mode_resolver.py`, `core/lambda/nova_idp_*.py`, `core/kms_signing.py`, `core/abac_evaluator.py`, `core/jws_attestation.py`, `core/pat_lifecycle.py`) have high unit-test coverage but the overall floor is dragged by older uncovered code paths. Quality debt to address in a future NFR milestone.
Coverage Floor: 73.8% (3119/4227 lines covered) — BELOW the 80% release-gate floor. v1.29 was a feature milestone (no NFR coverage work); v1.28 new modules have high unit-test coverage but the overall floor is dragged by older uncovered code paths. Quality debt to address in a future NFR milestone. YELLOW carried without scope expansion.
Recent Incidents: none (no incidents in v1.27 or v1.28; no hotfix/rollback/outage commits in recent history)
Recent Incidents: none (no incidents in v1.28 or v1.29; no hotfix/rollback/outage commits in recent history)
Known Tensions: (1) CodeArtifact not provisioned — the publish pipeline (REQ-323) has a documented Gitea wheel-index fallback (`NOVA_WHEEL_INDEX`) but the primary path is unverified. (2) KMS asymmetric key unverified in-account (C-1.1) — the token-vend Lambda code + tests are complete but `aws kms create-key --key-spec ECC_NIST_P256` has not been run against `581513795199`. (3) `kj` Go binary in Lambda layer — pinned + locally verified, but AL2023 Lambda-runtime compatibility is a P2 spike that was not live-verified (D-227 risk; Fargate fallback documented). (4) Coverage 73.8% < 80% floor — the release gate was satisfied by phase-level coverage on new modules, but the overall floor is in debt. (5) `pyproject.toml` version is `1.14.0` (stale — not bumped through v1.15..v1.28; the milestone tags are authoritative, not the pyproject version).
Known Tensions: (1) nova-platform-ops repo not yet created — the 14 covered-reference REQs (355-366, 371) have their acdl-side deliverables complete (operator guide, publish.yml, CFN archive) but the live M1/M1.5/M2 cutover gates have not been run (operator action, out-of-band). (2) Coverage 73.8% < 80% floor — YELLOW carried from v1.28; v1.29 did not expand scope but did not restore the floor. (3) M-001 (ABAC empty-policy-dir fail-open gap) — pinned in `test_abac_e2e.py`, mitigated; clear fix exists (treat `any_policy=False` as fail-closed) but not yet applied. (4) Q7 carry-forward (kj image verification — M1.5 3-consecutive-rebuild gate is operator action in nova-platform-ops CI, not acdl-side). (5) The existing 23-slide deck (`docs/presentations/nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`) is too long for the leadership audience (target ≤7 slides).
---
### 6. Agent Context & Assumptions (Agent Initiators Only)
Missing Context: (1) The next initiative / raw idea — no new PDLC work was specified; this intake is the post-v1.28 state snapshot. (2) Live AWS verification of Nova-idp — CodeArtifact, KMS asymmetric key, and `kj`-in-Lambda-layer were not live-verified (no AWS creds in the build environment); all have documented fallbacks + CI gates. (3) Prod/dr environment activation status — env JSONs exist but live-apply was dev-only (D-209).
Missing Context: (1) The 18-month roadmap specifics — NORTH_STAR.md §Future Horizons has the strategic direction (CDLC→SDLC→PDLC integration, AI-Agent Intent Share ≥40%) but the PO needs to define the concrete milestone sequence for the deck. (2) Target audience specifics — "Technology Leadership" is the stated audience but the deck needs to know if this is CTO-level, VP-level, or Director-level (affects depth + framing). (3) Live AWS verification of covered-reference REQs — nova-platform-ops not yet created; M1/M1.5/M2 cutover gates not yet run.
Agent Assumptions: (1) The PDLC trigger is the post-v1.28 state intake (not a new initiative) — the PO will define the next initiative from this snapshot. (2) Coverage 73.8% is reported as YELLOW system health (below 80% floor) but is not a blocker for the intake — it's quality debt for a future NFR milestone. (3) The 3 unverified-in-account items (CodeArtifact, KMS, kj-in-Lambda) are reported as tensions, not blockers — they have fallbacks + CI gates documented. (4) `pyproject.toml` version `1.14.0` is stale but not load-bearing (milestone tags are authoritative); flagged for a future chore.
Agent Assumptions: (1) The PDLC trigger is the post-v1.29 state intake + the PO's new initiative (leadership deck). (2) The deck uses the existing S&P theme (`docs/presentations/assets/nova-sp-theme.css`, palette `#D6002A`/`#1B1B1B`/`#FFFFFF`/`#F0F0F0`) + the existing Marp + python-pptx render pipeline (`workflows-src/slides.yml`, `scripts/render_pptx.py`). (3) **OVERRIDDEN by D-241 (v1.30 CLARIFY):** the leadership deck is a **discrete, hand-authored artifact — NOT a compression** of the 23-slide existing citizen-developer deck (`nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`), which remains untouched. The Slide Content Map in PROJECT.md §v1.30 is hand-authored content, not derived. (4) Coverage 73.8% is reported as YELLOW system health (below 80% floor) but is not a blocker for the deck initiative — it's quality debt for a future NFR milestone. (5) The covered-reference REQs are reported as tensions, not blockers — they have acdl-side deliverables complete + documented cutover gates.

REQ-372 — Nova Leadership Presentation Deck (v1.30, single-shot artifact).
This deck is the leadership artifact for Infrastructure & Operations
(CTO + VP Technology + Product Management), presented live in
August 2026, securing architecture endorsement and a November 2026
runway to demonstrate Nova's next milestone.
Related-but-distinct artifact: nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md
(the citizen-developer pitch). This deck does NOT compress or modify
that artifact — the two decks remain discrete (D-241). The existing
citizen-developer deck is untouched.
Vision grounding: [1] citations in slides 3, 5, 7 speaker notes
resolve to docs/vision.md (the spec's acdl-vision.md reference).
Diagrams: 7 S&P-themed mermaid diagrams (D-246), one per slide,
rendered via scripts/render_leadership_diagrams.sh (mmdc + vendored
Chromium libs). Sources: assets/mmd/leadership-slide-N.mmd.
PNGs: assets/png/leadership-slide-N.png.
Render: python3 scripts/render_pptx.py docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck-marp.md \
--output docs/presentations/nova-leadership-deck.pptx
Smoke test: bash scripts/check_leadership_deck.sh

![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-1.png)
<!--
Three patterns drive the friction every delivery team lives today, and all three trace back to one binding constraint: software delivery scales with the coordination surface around it, not the engineering inside it [1]. That is the claim the vision document opens with, and it is the lens for everything Nova does.
The first pattern: infrastructure is authored by people who do not specialize in infrastructure. The platform team is not standing behind every S3 bucket, every RDS instance, every KMS key. The application team is. They are smart, they are capable, but infrastructure is not their craft, and the long tail of well-meaning services shows it.
The second pattern: every change is gated because one misconfiguration can expose the entire estate. A single bucket without SSE-KMS, a single RDS without deletion protection, a single Lambda with an over-privileged role — and the blast radius is the whole account. So every change is reviewed, every change is gated, and the gate is manual because the cost of getting it wrong is account-wide.
The third pattern: compliance, security, and NFRs are checked late. They are checked after the PR, after the merge, sometimes after the deploy. By then remediation is a cycle — it erodes delivery cadence and it erodes morale.
Nova absorbs all three. Owned building blocks, separation of concerns, attested compliance up front. And one distinction that matters for this room: Nova's lane is infrastructure patching. AppSec — dependency review, runtime application security, the application-layer threat model — stays with the application team. Nova is not a remediation tool. Nova is not a security blanket. Nova is the infrastructure beneath the application, owned by the platform, attested before the consumer ever touches it.
-->
---
## Nova in one frame
> *You already recognize this pattern.*
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-2.png)
Central IT curates the golden image; Nova curates the cloud infrastructure. Owned, patched, attested, consumed by contract.
> *Nova's lane is the infrastructure beneath the application. AppSec stays with the application team.*
<!--
The Central IT golden-image pattern is one every leadership team already recognizes. Central IT curates the Windows image, the Linux image, the macOS image. They own it, they patch it, they ship it, and consumers consume it without thinking about what is inside. That trade — per-application control for uniform operability — is a trade every enterprise has already made at the OS layer.
Nova plays the same role one layer up. Not the OS image, but everything that runs your cloud: S3 buckets with SSE-KMS posture, RDS instances with deletion protection and PITR, Lambda containers with static ABAC binaries, ALBs, ECS services, KMS keys, DynamoDB tables. Each primitive is owned by the platform team, patched by the platform team, attested by the platform team, and consumed by anyone who declares a contract. The platform begins where the artifact is compiled and ends where it runs in production under operational guardrails [1]. That boundary is the sovereignty claim — Nova governs the delivery lifecycle, not the upstream product or software development lifecycle.
The difference from Central IT is rigor: every primitive is versioned, tested across its entire lifecycle, and bounded by policy before any consumer ever touches it. The sovereignty-via-boundary argument is not defensive. It is the same argument Central IT already won at the OS layer: the platform owns the primitive so the consumer does not have to.
And the lane stays narrow. Nova's lane is the infrastructure beneath the application. AppSec, dependency review, and runtime application security stay where they have always been — with the application team.
-->

## Two principles that organize everything else
> *Two tenets discipline every other decision.*
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-3.png)
**Sovereign boundary** — Nova governs the delivery lifecycle; it does not reach upstream [1]. Integration with SDLC and PDLC happens exclusively through the contract surface.
**Lower autonomous · higher attested** — lower environments proceed through agentic automation; promotion requires deliberate human attestation [1]. The compute the platform makes; the choice the human keeps.
<!--
The architecture is principled, not improvised. Two tenets discipline every other decision the platform makes, and both come straight from the vision document [1].
The first tenet is the sovereign boundary. Nova governs the delivery lifecycle. It does not reach upstream into product or software development. Integration with SDLC and PDLC partners — the IDE, the sprint tool, the author workflow, the agent harness — happens exclusively through the validated, published contract surface. What lives outside the contract is not Nova's domain. This is not a defensive posture. It is an operating principle: the platform owns its lane, the upstream owns its lane, and the contract is where they meet. The four-layer model, the contract schema, the policy envelope — all of it inherits from this tenet.
The second tenet is lower autonomous, higher attested. Lower environments proceed through agentic automation — zero-touch, the platform reconciles. Promotion to higher environments — qa, prod, dr — requires deliberate human attestation. Not a rubber stamp. Not a courtesy notification. A policy-mandated act of accountability by a named human distinct from the PR author. The compute the platform makes; the choice the human keeps. The HITL gates, the confidence threshold, the escalation paths — all of it inherits from this tenet.
And the point for this room: these two tenets are not aspirational. They are load-bearing. Every other architectural decision — the four-layer model, the contract schema, the policy envelope, the audit lineage, the confidence signal — inherits from these two. If you endorse the architecture, you are endorsing these two tenets and everything that flows from them. The next slide is what the line looks like in 18 months of milestones.

## Live · Attested · Stays human
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-4.png)
**Live today** — 41 capabilities across 12 domains; pilot confidence 0.800. One pane, no second source of truth.
**Attested on promotion** — qa, prod, dr require a named human approver distinct from the PR author.
**Stays human — by design** — confidence below the autonomy threshold triggers human escalation [1].
<!--
Three columns, three claims, one disambiguation. The claims are real, observable, and disciplined — and the distinction matters for this room.
Real: 41 capabilities across 12 domains are live today. The contract ingestor, the audit outbox, the state buckets, and the live pilot run have been operating in our AWS estate since v1.7. Pilot evidence at v1.26 returned confidence 0.800 — that is a measured, recorded number, not a forecast. DORA, adoption, and policy-conformance metrics flow to PowerBI from the same audit stream as the lineage. One pane, no second source of truth. Every finding carries one owner, one patch state, one audit entry. A POC is production-grade by construction — there is no "POC that became prod" surprise, because the platform enforces production-grade posture from the first apply [1].
Observable: the audit lineage is the single pane. DORA, adoption, policy-conformance — all from the same stream. That is not three dashboards stitched together. It is one stream, one schema, one owner per finding. The POC-to-prod discipline [1] is the same claim from the other direction: the platform does not have a "POC mode" that gets quietly upgraded to "prod mode." Production-grade is the default.
Disciplined: attested on promotion, stays human by design. qa, prod, and dr require a named human approver distinct from the PR author. Rubber stamps cannot be silently issued. Confidence below the autonomy threshold at qa, prod, or dr triggers human escalation [1]. Some categories of decision are preserved for human judgment, and the platform says so out loud. That is the HITL discipline closing [1]: the platform makes the compute, the human keeps the choice, and the boundary is policy-mandated, not discretionary.
-->
---
## The boundary keeps us honest
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-5.png)
**In Nova's lane** — infrastructure primitives, operational guardrails, CVE response at the infra layer.
**Outside Nova's lane** — application business logic, IDE & sprint workflows [1], AppSec, VM/bare-metal/OS lifecycles [1].
> *The line is the contract. Everything below it is Nova. Everything above it stays where it has always been.*
<!--
The boundary is not a defensive posture. It is an operating principle — and it is the principle that keeps the architecture honest [1].
In Nova's lane: infrastructure primitives. S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, KMS, CloudFront. Operational guardrails — confidence, policy, attestation, audit lineage. CVE response at the infrastructure layer. These are the things the platform owns, the things the platform patches, the things the platform attests. The consumer declares intent; the platform delivers safe production deployment.
Outside Nova's lane: application business logic. The IDE, the sprint, the author workflow [1] — those are upstream of the contract, and the platform does not reach into them. Application-layer security — AppSec, dependency review, runtime threat modeling — stays with the application team. That is not a gap. It is an autonomy-preserving design choice: the application team owns their lane, the platform owns its lane, and the contract is where they meet. VM, bare-metal, OS lifecycles [1] — the vision document is explicit: infrastructure is consumed, not maintained. Compute is abstract, containerized, or serverless. The platform does not manage node-level or OS-level lifecycles.
The line is the contract. Everything below the contract is Nova. Everything above it stays where it has always been. That is the boundary discipline, and it is the discipline that lets the platform scale without becoming the application team's bottleneck — and lets the application team scale without becoming the platform's risk. The boundary is what makes the ask small and the return large: the platform owns its surface, the consumer owns theirs, and neither side silently absorbs the other's burden.

## The 18-month shape
> *Where CDLC meets SDLC + PDLC — through the contract surface, not above it.*
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-6.png)
**α (now → Q4'26)** Operating model + federated governance.
**β (Q1'27)** Auto-published infra observability.
**γ (Q2'27)** Runbook generation from telemetry.
**δ (Q3'27 → Q4'27)** Audit ledger, tamper-resistant.
> *Nova absorbs no IDE, no editor, no sprint tool, no agent harness.*
<!--
The 18-month shape is a boundary-respecting integration arc, not an expansion arc. Four milestones, each disciplined by the sovereign-boundary tenet [1]: Nova meets SDLC and PDLC through the contract surface, not above it.
Alpha, now through Q4 2026, is the operating model and federated governance. A named platform-ops body owns the platform. SLAs on every L2 are ratifiable by platform and consumer. The operating model is published. Integration surfaces for SDLC and PDLC harnesses are documented at the contract boundary [1] — that is the unlock. The platform publishes the contract; the upstream tool integrates against it.
Beta, Q1 2027, is auto-published infra observability. Every consumer stack ships with CloudWatch dashboards, uptime-kuma monitors, and alert routing on apply. The infra-vs-app observability discipline [1]: the platform publishes infrastructure observability. Application observability stays with the app team.
Gamma, Q2 2027, is runbook generation from telemetry. Every L1 primitive ships with an auto-generated incident runbook derived from observed patterns. SREs get a starting runbook, not a blank page. The infra-vs-app runbook discipline [1]: the platform generates the infrastructure runbook. The application runbook stays with the app team.
Delta, Q3 through Q4 2027, is the audit ledger, tamper-resistant and externally addressable. The SQLite hash-evidence stream migrates to S3 Object Lock plus JWS signatures. External counsel verifies any production change back to a named human attestation — audit lineage outward [1], not upstream. The ledger is the proof, the attestation is the name, and the boundary holds.
Nova absorbs no IDE, no editor, no sprint tool, no agent harness. The contract surface is where CDLC meets SDLC and PDLC.

## What we ask · What comes back
![diagram](assets/png/leadership-slide-7.png)
**What works now.** Deploying L1 & L2 stacks works today in the sandbox AWS account — 13 L1 primitives and 2 L2 modules, live-applied at confidence 0.800. Next steps: ingest greenfield pilot projects, promote from sandbox to production, integrate with the SPGE constitutional library, and serve as the infrastructure layer.
**What we ask.** Architecture endorsement. Runway to the next milestone.
**Why now.** Agentic SDLC is reshaping the delivery curve. What is barely keepable today — incident response, compliance reconciliation, security remediation — does not compress at the same rate as the velocity it has to keep pace with. By the end of 2027, the gap between delivery acceleration and operational absorption is the structural risk.
**What comes back.** The infrastructure foundation that absorbs the velocity. Metrics that tell us where to push next. Audit lineage that closes the regulatory question. The next milestone, **by November 2026**.
> *What we do not ask for: an IDE, a sprint tool, an author workflow, an upstream pipeline. Nova stays in its lane [1].*
<!--
This is presented to Infrastructure and Operations leadership in August 2026. What works now: deploying L1 and L2 stacks works today. 13 L1 primitives and 2 L2 modules are live in the registry; the pilot ran a live terraform apply against the dev AWS account at v1.26 and returned confidence 0.800 — a measured number, not a forecast. We refer to the dev account colloquially as the sandbox. Next steps: ingest greenfield pilot projects (greenfield consumers with no legacy to reconcile), promote from sandbox to production (the promotion path with HITL gates exists; the pilot was dev-only, so activating qa, prod, dr is the next step), integrate with the SPGE constitutional library (an external governance system the audience recognizes; the platform meets it at the contract surface), and serve as the infrastructure layer.
The ask is architecture endorsement and runway to the next milestone by November 2026. Why now: agentic SDLC is reshaping the delivery curve. What is barely keepable today — incident response, compliance reconciliation, security remediation — does not compress at the same rate as the velocity. By end of 2027, the gap between delivery acceleration and operational absorption is the structural risk. Internal directional target: a 60% reduction in that gap — not a sourced claim, a directional target the platform's metrics will track.
What comes back: the infrastructure foundation that absorbs the velocity, metrics that tell us where to push next, audit lineage that closes the regulatory question, and the next milestone by November 2026. Not a budget, not a headcount — runway to land the architecture endorsement. What we do not ask for: an IDE, a sprint tool, an author workflow, an upstream pipeline. Nova stays in its lane [1]. The sovereign boundary makes the ask small and the return large.
