# P05 Final Review + Audit — v1.26 Live Pilot Estate Activation > **Phase:** 5 (final review + audit + ship) — review + audit only; the > milestone ship (merge to main / tag v1.25.5 / branch deletion) is the > orchestrator's next step, deliberately out of scope here. > **Branch:** `phase/05-final-review-ship` > **Milestone:** `milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation` > **Tags so far:** v1.25.0 (P0) → v1.25.1 (P1) → v1.25.2 (P2) → > v1.25.3 (P3) → v1.25.4 (P4). P5 ships v1.25.5 (= the v1.26 release). > **Date:** 2026-08-19 --- ## 1. Review (ciagent-review equivalent) Multi-persona review across P1..P4 (lead-developer coordination; correctness / testing / security / maintainability axes). The spot-checks below confirm the P3/P4 commits deliver what their messages claim. ### Correctness spot-checks (all PASS) - **kyverno-json substrate fix (59d837f):** the engine `_translate` parses the real `kj` v0.0.3 bare-list output (not the v1.25-assumed `{"results":[...]}` dict); `_materialize_yaml_policy_dir` mirrors `.json` policies to `.yaml` twins (kj v0.0.3 ignores `.json`); the `validate` wrapper was removed from all 16 policies + the check syntax fixed (`expression: expected_value`). All 36 kj-dependent tests pass against real `kj` (0 skips). The install script fixed (`go install .../kyverno-json@latest` + symlink, not the broken `cmd/kj@latest`). - **outcome backfill (51b886f, REQ-317):** `core/metrics/outcome_backfill.py` updates `fact_decision.outcome` pending → succeeded/failed; idempotent + terminal (no overwrite of a non-pending outcome); wired into the collector. The P4 run evidence (6ced8ed) confirms `nova.outcome.backfilled (pending->succeeded)`. - **Gitea adapter (P3 W0):** the consumer `deploy.yml` has no cross-repo `uses:` — inline `actions/checkout@v4` of `acdl/acdl @ ref: v1.25` into `platform/` then `bash platform/scripts/run_platform.sh`. SPEC §10 Q1 resolved by evidence. - **env-JSON state_backend (3300ed2, REQ-319):** the adapter reads `env.state_backend.bucket` when present (fallback to the computed `nova-tfstate-{account_id}-{region}` for backwards compat). `dev.json` bound to `581513795199` + `nova-tfstate-581513795199-us-east-1`; qa/prod/dr stay placeholder (account `000000000000` — the pilot-readiness policy blocks apply, D-208). - **pilot policies (e22661a, REQ-315/320):** `no-placeholder-account.json` passes on dev (581513795199), fails on placeholder; `all-matches-committed.json` asserts `all_committed == true`. Both run against real `kj` (not skipped). ### Testing - 844 tests collected; **844 pass** (839 fast + 5 slow individually re-run: 2 `test_run_local_e2e_*` + 3 `test_verify_regression_mode::*`). 0 failures, 0 skips that shouldn't skip. - New feature coverage confirmed: REQ-317 backfill test (`test_outcome_backfill.py`), REQ-318 escalation_reason test (`test_confidence_escalation_reason.py`), REQ-315/320 policy tests (`test_settlement_finality_policy.py`, `test_pilot_readiness_policy.py` — both real-kj), REQ-316 CAP-025 test (`test_regression_pilot.py`), Gitea adapter tests (`test_deploy_workflow_invocation.py` + `test_deploy_gitea_invocation.py` — assert no cross-repo `uses:`, `ref: v1.25`, `secrets: inherit`), rotation workflow test (`test_rotate_key_workflow.py`), CAP-025 test (`test_deploy_workflow_env_input.py`). - The v1.25 `pytest.skip("kj not installed")` skips are gone — `_require_kj` no longer skips (kj v0.0.3 installed). All kj-dependent tests exercise the real engine. ### Security - **No `NOVA_AWS_*` secrets in committed files.** `.env.secrets` is gitignored and NOT tracked (`git ls-files` confirms). All `NOVA_AWS_*` references in committed workflow files are `${{ secrets.* }}` placeholder references — the correct pattern. The W6 fix (b237b3e) removed raw `NOVA_AWS_*` from the shell env in `run_platform.sh`'s local fallback. - **No forge mentions in synced files.** `test_no_forge_mentions` PASS (the REQ-230 guard). The W6/W7 fix (03edd82) renamed `NOVA_GITEA_TOKEN` → `NOVA_FORGE_TOKEN` (forge-agnostic) after the guard tripped. ### Maintainability - **No stale `TYPE_MAP` refs in active docs.** The P4 W2 fix (a0799f1) fixed the stale `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP` references in `adapters/README.md` (IDEATE I8). Remaining `TYPE_MAP` mentions are in `.ciagent/archive/` (historical, correct) + `.ciagent/{CLARIFY,IDEATE,RESEARCH}.md` (decision records, correct context). - **No new TODOs/FIXMEs in P3/P4.** `grep` over `core/` for `TODO|FIXME|XXX|HACK` returns 0 matches. - The P3 W0.5 fix (3735330) resolved pre-existing P2 drift (dynamodb `simple.yaml` → `simple.yml`, sync_workflows re-sync, CAP-024 deck path → `nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery-marp.md`). ### Review verdict **0 P0 issues remain** after the one P0 fix applied this phase (see §3). **P1+ issues for post-hoc review (none blocking ship):** | # | Severity | Issue | Disposition | |---|----------|-------|-------------| | R-1 | P2 (cosmetic) | `CHECKPOINT.json` `phase_branch` field is stale (`phase/03-pilot-metrics-and-policies`) — should be `phase/04-pilot-run-and-docs` or cleared. | Post-hoc. The orchestrator's ship step overwrites CHECKPOINT entirely (`stage: complete, phase: 5, phase_role: final`), so this field is transient. Not fixed here to avoid touching CHECKPOINT outside the ship step. | | R-2 | P3 (historical) | The v1.26 consumer-repo merge commit (78da051) + the P0 merge (d391cdf) use `---/ci---` close markers; the v1.26 platform-repo commits (P3/P4) use `---ci---` only. Minor format inconsistency from the multi-project boundary. | Post-hoc. Cosmetic; both markers are recognized by the audit tooling. | | R-3 | P3 (future-hardening) | Single `NOVA_AWS_*` root-equivalent key (D-207). Documented in PLAN.md §Future Hardening — a future milestone should split into `NOVA_BOOTSTRAP_AWS_*` + least-privilege `NOVA_AWS_*` runner key. | Post-hoc. Out of v1.26 scope by design (D-207, G-Q9). | --- ## 2. Audit (ciagent-audit equivalent) ### 2.1 Reconstruction test — **PASS** The git log `---ci---` blocks are consistent with the `.ciagent/` file states. The last 20 commits on `milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation` show the expected phase progression: - P0 (`d391cdf`, status: complete) → P1 ship (`2ee541f`) → P2 reconcile (`d022ddc`) → P2 complete (`6a3d47e`) → P3 W0.5 → W2 → W3 → W4 → W5 → W6 → W6/W7 → verify (`5d1a985`) → docs (`732998b`) → merge+complete (`268f695`, `6b60c0c`) → P4 W1 (`cec34ab`, `6ced8ed`) → W2 (`a0799f1`) → verify (`074ee05`) → merge+complete (`6eb7af2`, `f266dcf`). Each phase follows the `execute → verify → complete` lifecycle. The CHECKPOINT `current_phase` (phase 4, status complete, tag v1.25.4) matches the latest commit (`f266dcf docs(ship): P4 complete → v1.25.4`). The `previous_phase` (phase 3, tag v1.25.3, complete) is consistent. All 4 merge commits on the milestone branch (d391cdf, 78da051, 268f695, 6eb7af2) carry `---ci---` blocks with project/phase/milestone/status. ### 2.2 `.ciagent/` file discipline — **CLEAN** (after the one P0 fix) - **CHECKPOINT.json:** `current_phase` (4/complete/v1.25.4) + `previous_phase` (3/complete/v1.25.3) consistent with the git log. `waves` map + `pre_run` map + `notes` accurately describe the P4 live apply + outcome backfill. One stale field: `phase_branch` (R-1, post-hoc). - **REQUIREMENTS.md:** v1.26 traceability table now shows all 13 REQs (310..322) complete. **One P0 fix applied:** REQ-316 row corrected from "P4 live-verify pending" → "v1.25.4 — live-verify complete" (P4 is complete; v1.25.4 tagged; the live apply against 581513795199 succeeded per commit 6ced8ed + verify 074ee05). The v1.25 table (REQ-291..309) is all-complete + consistent with ROADMAP. - **ROADMAP.md:** v1.26 phases P0..P4 marked complete; P5 marked "planned" (correct — this phase is in progress, ship is next). v1.25 marked complete. The phase descriptions match the commits. - **PLAN.md:** the active phase plan covers P0..P5 with wave ordering, persona assignment, + the REQ-322→P2 W0 revision. Consistent with what shipped. - **ARCHITECTURE.md:** §12.8 (Pilot Estate) + §12.9 (rotation) present (P4 W2 docs). - **PROJECT.md:** v1.26 active milestone noted; multi-project mode (`nova-blockchain-exchange`) reflected. ### 2.3 Branch hygiene — **CLEAN** `git branch -a` (local): - `main` - `milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation` - `phase/05-final-review-ship` (current) P1..P4 phase branches are deleted (only milestone + P5 remain, as required). Remote: `origin/main` + `origin/milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation` mirror the local state. Tags: `v1.25` (floating) + `v1.25.0` + `v1.25.1` + `v1.25.2` + `v1.25.3` + `v1.25.4` all exist. `v1.25.5` is not yet present (correct — it's the orchestrator's ship step). ### 2.4 Commit discipline — **CLEAN** Every v1.26-scope commit on the milestone branch carries a `---ci---` block with `project` + `phase` + `milestone` + `status` (and most carry `wave`). The 4 merge commits (d391cdf, 78da051, 268f695, 6eb7af2) all carry `---ci---` blocks. (Historical commits from v1.0-v1.18 predate the block convention — out of scope for this audit.) The consumer-repo merge (78da051) correctly carries `project: nova-blockchain-exchange` (multi-project boundary respected); the platform commits carry `project: acdl`. ### Audit verdict | Check | Result | Detail | |-------|--------|--------| | Reconstruction test | **PASS** | git-log `---ci---` blocks ↔ `.ciagent/` consistent; phase 4/complete/v1.25.4 matches HEAD. | | File discipline | **CLEAN** | All 6 `.ciagent/` files consistent after the REQ-316 P0 fix. One stale `phase_branch` field (R-1, post-hoc). | | Branch hygiene | **CLEAN** | Only main + milestone + P5; P1-P4 deleted; v1.25.0..v1.25.4 tagged. | | Commit discipline | **CLEAN** | All v1.26 commits carry `---ci---` blocks; merge commits included. | --- ## 3. P0 fixes applied this phase | # | File | Fix | |---|------|-----| | P0-1 | `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` | REQ-316 traceability row: "P4 live-verify pending" → "v1.25.4 — live-verify complete". P4 is complete (v1.25.4 tagged, live apply against 581513795199 succeeded per commits 6ced8ed + 074ee05); the "pending" text was stale documentation drift that misstated the milestone state. | No code-level P0 issues found — the P3/P4 feat/fix commits deliver what they claim; the test suite is green; no secrets leaked; no forge mentions; no stale active-doc references. --- ## 4. Overall verdict — **PROCEED to milestone ship** - **Review:** 0 P0 issues remain (1 P0 fix applied: REQ-316 doc drift). 3 P1+ items flagged for post-hoc (R-1 stale CHECKPOINT field, R-2 close- marker inconsistency, R-3 future key-split — none block ship). - **Audit:** reconstruction PASS; file discipline CLEAN; branch hygiene CLEAN; commit discipline CLEAN. - **Tests:** 844 passed, 0 failed, 0 unexpected skips (5 slow tests individually confirmed green: 2 local-e2e + 3 regression-mode). **Decision: PROCEED.** The orchestrator's next step (Wave 3 milestone ship: merge `phase/05-final-review-ship` → `milestone/v1.26-pilot- activation` → `main`; tag `v1.25.5`; Gitea release; delete milestone branches; final CHECKPOINT clear) is unblocked. Per the full-autonomy "never halt" directive, even if a P0 had been critical, the ship step would still proceed with the issue documented — but here the single P0 was a cosmetic doc-drift, now fixed.
