Jon Chery a6510e7afc docs(pdlc): STATE.md Phase 0 intake — post-v1.28 ground truth snapshot
Populates the PDLC Phase 0 intake format with the absolute ground truth
of the system after v1.28 ship (CLI Canonicalization + Identity Layer).
Header bumped to v1.28 last-ship. 7 sections: header, architecture state,
technical stack, active constraints (D-001..D-231, INV-1..17, CAP-001..038),
recent history + quality gates (coverage 73.8% YELLOW — below 80% floor),
agent context + assumptions, canonical state references. Unknowns explicit
(no new initiative; CodeArtifact/KMS/kj-in-Lambda unverified in-account).

# Nova — System State (what exists today)
> **PO-owned catalog of shipped capabilities.** Updated at every milestone
> ship (P final). Additive only — entries are appended, never rewritten,
> unless a capability is explicitly deprecated (then marked, not deleted).
> Read by the PO upstream of the PDLC before authoring new REQ-NNN specs,
> and by CIAgent at SPECIFY for capability awareness.
>
> **Authority:** this file is *descriptive of shipped state*, not
> authoritative for live phase/ship state — that's `CHECKPOINT.json`. For
> *why*, read `NORTH_STAR.md`. For *how*, read `ARCHITECTURE.md`. For
> *what was decided*, read `PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions.
>
> **Last milestone ship:** v1.28 (`v1.27.6`, 2026-08-19) — CLI
> Canonicalization + Identity Layer. Feature milestone: Nova CLI
> installable from CodeArtifact; 15 `nova <subcommand>` subcommands;
> `nova init` scaffolding; `nova cli-action` composite action;
> `core/mode_resolver.py` (D-226); Nova-idp identity layer
> (`nova-idp-auth` + `nova-idp-token-vend` + `nova-idp-jwks` Lambdas;
> Argon2id; KMS-signed OIDC ES256; kyverno-json ABAC fail-closed; PAT
> lifecycle; `nova idp setup`; `nova auth login/revoke/status`). No
> AWS-managed identity (INV-15). 6 new capabilities (CAP-033..038),
> 6 new invariants (INV-12..17), 6 decisions (D-226..231).
> **Next update:** at v1.29 ship.
## How to use this file (PO)
- Before writing a new REQ: search this file for the capability you
intend to spec. If it exists, extend it; do not re-spec it under a new
REQ-NNN.
- Respect the **Invariants** below — they are load-bearing and
cross-cutting. A new REQ that violates an invariant requires a
`CLARIFY` decision recorded in PROJECT.md.
- Anchor each new REQ to a **Domain**; new domains require a PO
decision recorded in CLARIFY.
- When a capability is deprecated (replaced, removed, or
re-architecture), append a `Deprecated` row marking the milestone +
replacement; do not delete the original entry.
## Invariants (PO-owned — do not violate in new REQs)
> Distilled from `PROJECT.md` load-bearing decisions D-034..D-072 +
> W1..BA + Q1.3. Cite the decision ID when an REQ touches one.
- **INV-1 (Contract surface):** The only PDLC→Nova boundary is
`schemas/contract.schema.json` + `schemas/submission-readiness.schema.json`
(D-133). All consumer intent enters through one of these. Nova never
reaches into upstream PDLC.
- **INV-2 (Confidence inputs):** Six canonical inputs — policy (0.30),
validation (0.25), freshness (0.10), source (0.15), history (0.10),
nfrs (0.10). Weights frozen for v1 (D-040). `critical` severity =
hard-block via `PENALTY["critical"]: None` (defense-in-depth behind the
declarative `block-on-any-critical` meta-policy).
- **INV-3 (HITL gates):** dev = autonomous (≥0.50); qa = HITL (≥0.75);
prod = HITL (≥0.90); dr = HITL (≥0.95). Approver identity = Gitea
`gitea.actor` of the `workflow_dispatch` (D-042). Separation-of-duties
on prod reads `approver_qa` from the DynamoDB outbox.
- **INV-4 (Engine is swappable):** The policy engine is behind the
`PolicyEngine` protocol (`core/policy_engine.py`, v1.25). Confidence
signal + pipeline import only the protocol, never a concrete engine.
`kyverno-json` is the v1.25 default; `OPA` (or other) implements the
same 3-method protocol to replace it.
- **INV-5 (Adapter is stateless):** `adapters/terraform/adapter.py` owns
no module content — no `TYPE_MAP`/`INPUT_MAP`/`OUTPUT_MAP` (v1.11
rewrite). A new stack type requires a new L1 module
(`modules/l1/<name>/`) + `registry.json` entry, not an adapter change.
- **INV-6 (Audit stream is immutable):** Outbox writes via SQLite
hash-chain today (D-083 deferred). S3 Object Lock / JWS tamper-
*resistant* ledger is a future milestone. Current stream is tamper-
*evident* (any tampering breaks the chain).
- **INV-7 (PCR schema is the moat):** `schemas/policy_check_result.schema.json`
shape is frozen across adapter swaps (v1.25 hard constraint). The
`engine` enum already includes `"kyverno"` + `"opa"`; new engines add
no enum value.
- **INV-8 (Long-lived creds forbidden):** §12.5. The D-039/D-047 per-run-
rotated-key waiver satisfies the *intent* (no *persistently* long-lived
key). Real OIDC federation is blocked on `go-gitea/gitea#36988`.
- **INV-9 (Two consumer surfaces, one platform):** L3A (developer) +
L3B (citizen dev) converge on the same contract schema, the same
policy envelope, and the same evidence stream.
- **INV-10 (Nova is downstream of PDLC):** Nova governs infra + delivery
only. Product backlog, code authorship, IDE workflows, application
business logic are upstream. Integration only via the validated
contract boundary (INV-1).
- **INV-11 (Pilot scope, v1.26):** Equities only (D-200). Single-
validator PoA (D-201). D-083 (Object Lock/JWS) stays deferred. Hot
path deferred (D-126). Multi-cloud deferred. Multi-validator BFT
deferred. The pilot runs `mode: full` for `dev` only (D-209); qa/prod/dr
stay placeholder (D-208, blocked by the pilot-readiness policy).
- **INV-12 (Mode observability, v1.28):** Every CLI invocation emits a
`cli.invocation` audit event containing `mode`, `selection_reason`,
`credential_type`, `command`, and `args`. Operators can debug mode
selection without reproducing.
- **INV-13 (Mode resolution determinism, v1.28):** Resolution priority
is flag → env (`NOVA_CLIENT_MODE`) → credential type →
`sys.stdin.isatty()`. No silent fallbacks. Invalid env values are
ignored + warned. Deviations rejected at PR time.
- **INV-14 (Credential type encodes role, v1.28):** `developer_pat` /
`nova_oidc_token` + TTY present → `interactive`; TTY absent → `agent`.
- **INV-15 (No AWS-managed identity in path, v1.28):** Nova-idp MUST
NOT depend on Cognito, IAM Identity Center, or any AWS-managed
identity service. Greenfield constraint (no Cognito existed to
"drop").
- **INV-16 (Password storage, v1.28):** Passwords hashed with Argon2id
(t=3, m=65536 KiB, p=1). Fail-closed on `ImportError` (D-228 amended
— no pure-Python fallback). Raw passwords never in logs/traces/env/
DynamoDB.
- **INV-17 (ABAC discipline, v1.28):** The token-vend Lambda evaluates
the kyverno-json ABAC policy before signing. Fail-closed on `kj`
absence or evaluation error (C-6.1 — never fail open). Allow/deny +
policy inputs emitted to the audit stream. `policy_version` (git SHA,
D-231) recorded in every event.

## Update discipline
This file is updated **once per milestone, at the P-final milestone-ship
wave** (Wave 3 "milestone ship" in `PLAN.md`), alongside
`ROADMAP.md`/`NORTH_STAR.md`/`REQUIREMENTS.md`:
1. Append new capability entries for each shipped REQ (one row per
capability; group by domain).
2. Mark any deprecated capability with a `Deprecated` row citing the
milestone + replacement.
3. Bump the "Last milestone ship" header.
4. Do not rewrite existing entries (additive only).
Enforcement: convention (the P-final ship step names this file). A
drift-check gate (assert every REQ marked `complete` in
`REQUIREMENTS.md` traceability appears in STATE.md) is a future option
if the convention drifts.

## PDLC Phase 0 Intake (current ground truth — 2026-08-19)
> Single-pass discovery for the next PDLC cycle. Populated from the
> live repo state after v1.28 ship. No aspirational items — state is
> what is, not what should be. Unknowns are explicit.
---
### 1. Header (mandatory)
Project: Nova — The New Dawn of DevSecOps
Initiative: UNKNOWN — needs investigation (no new initiative specified; v1.28 just shipped, next milestone not yet scoped)
Initiator: Product Owner / Manager (PDLC Phase 0 trigger)
Date (UTC): 2026-08-19
Current Version: v1.28 complete (tag `v1.27.6`, merged to main 2026-08-19); all 7 phases shipped; no phase in progress
System Health: YELLOW — coverage 73.8% is below the 80% release-gate floor (NFR/quality debt); CodeArtifact not provisioned (P1 Wave 0 gate unresolved — fallback documented); KMS asymmetric key unverified in-account (C-1.1 documented as CI gate, not verified locally)
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).
Trigger: v1.28 milestone completion (CLI Canonicalization + Identity Layer shipped 2026-08-19).
Desired outcome: UNKNOWN — the PO defines the next initiative from this intake.
---
### 2. Architecture State
Active Layers (which exist and are stable):
[x] Core Primitives — `core/` (27 modules): `abac_evaluator`, `attestation_matrix`, `auth_store`, `confidence_signal`, `contract_resolver`, `decommission_transform`, `env`, `env_transition`, `environment_check`, `hitl_gates`, `init_scaffold`, `jws_attestation`, `kms_signing`, `local_emulators`, `mode_resolver`, `onboarding`, `outbox_writer`, `output_publisher`, `pat_lifecycle`, `policy_engine`, `regression_verify`, `separation_of_duties`, `submission_readiness` + `core/lambda/` (6 modules) + `core/metrics/` (decision ledger)
[x] Domain Modules — `adapters/terraform/` (stateless adapter), `adapters/kyverno-json/` (unified policy engine, INV-4 swappable), `adapters/wiz/`, `adapters/kyverno/` (K8s, inactive for Terraform — D-053)
[x] API/Dev Surface — `nova/` CLI package (15 subcommands, argparse-only, `[project.scripts] nova = "nova.cli:main"`); `nova auth {login,revoke,status}`; `nova idp setup`; `nova init`; `nova apply --local`; `nova cli-action` composite action (GitHub + Gitea)
[x] UI/Agent Surface — N/A (no UI; CLI + JSON endpoints only; JWKS serves `application/json`)
Compute Topology (per environment):
local: abstract (local emulators via `core/local_emulators.py:LocalLambdaStub`; `nova apply --local` synthesizes env via `core/env.synthesize_local_env()`; no cloud provisioning)
dev: abstract (env JSON `core/environments/dev.json`; pilot ran `mode: full` against live AWS `581513795199` at v1.26; Nova-idp Lambdas deploy via `nova idp setup` but not yet live-verified in dev)
staging: N/A (no `staging` environment JSON; environments are dev/qa/prod/dr)
prod: UNKNOWN — needs investigation (env JSON `core/environments/prod.json` exists; live-apply not run against prod; pilot was dev-only per D-209)
dr: placeholder (env JSON `core/environments/dr.json` exists; blocked by pilot-readiness policy D-208; not activated)
Identity Stack in Force:
auth: Custom IDP — Nova-idp (`nova-idp-auth` Lambda, v1.28): sign-up/sign-in/session; Argon2id (t=3, m=65536, p=1); DynamoDB `nova-users`/`nova-sessions`/`nova-password-resets`. NOT live-deployed (code + tests complete; `nova idp setup` ready; deployment pending operator action + AWS creds).
token-vend: Nova-idp (`nova-idp-token-vend` Lambda, v1.28): accepts PAT/session → KMS-signed OIDC token (ECDSA P-256 / ES256); kyverno-json ABAC fail-closed (INV-17, C-6.1); `nova-pats` DynamoDB (strong-read revocation, D-229, 60s SLO). NOT live-deployed.
signing: KMS asymmetric — `alias/nova-oidc-signing` (ECC_NIST_P256, SIGN_VERIFY). Code complete; key NOT yet created in-account (C-1.1 documented as CI gate — `aws kms create-key --key-spec ECC_NIST_P256 --key-usage SIGN_VERIFY` unverified).
session: DynamoDB — `nova-sessions` table (PK `session_id`, TTL `expires_at`, 24h). Cookie/local-file: `~/.nova/credentials.json` (0600, OIDC token + PAT metadata, NOT raw PAT — C-7.3).
Audit Stream:
source of truth: DynamoDB outbox → S3 Object Lock (7-yr) → GitHub/Gitea audit repo (hot index). The Decision Ledger (SQLite hash-chain, D-121, `core/metrics/decision_ledger.py`) is the cold store for `ai.decision.made` + `attestation.recorded` events.
in-repo fallback: yes (SQLite hash-chain outbox_writer, `core/outbox_writer.py`, INV-6 tamper-evident; tamper-*resistant* deferred — D-083 S3 Object Lock/JWS not yet enabled)
retention policy: 7 years (S3 Object Lock target; not yet enabled — D-083 deferred)
---
### 3. Technical Stack (concrete, not aspirational)
Language(s) and runtime(s): Python 3.12 (requires-python `>=3.12`; Lambda Python 3.12 runtime on Amazon Linux 2023)
Build / packaging: setuptools (`pyproject.toml`, build-backend `setuptools.build_meta`); wheel via `python -m build --wheel`; Lambda layer via `pip install --target layer/python/` + `zip`; publish to CodeArtifact (NOT yet provisioned — fallback: Gitea wheel index / private PyPI via `NOVA_WHEEL_INDEX`)
CI / CD: Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/`) + GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/`, byte-identical); `publish.yml` (wheel + layer co-publish, REQ-323, CAP-035); `ci.yml` (test/lint); `deploy.yml@v1.25` (consumer deploy); `nova cli-action` composite action (`.github/actions/nova-cli/action.yml`); OIDC to AWS (`id-token: write`)
Infrastructure: AWS account `581513795199` (single-region `us-east-1`); S3 (state files); DynamoDB (locking + outbox + identity tables); Lambda (contract ingestor + Nova-idp 3 Lambdas); KMS (per-stack CMK + `alias/nova-oidc-signing`); CloudFront/WAF/ACM (optional, `--public-jwks-domain`); no VMs/bare metal/OS (Anti-Goal)
Data stores: DynamoDB — `nova-contracts`, `nova-change-requests` (v1.7); `nova-users`, `nova-sessions`, `nova-password-resets`, `nova-pats` (v1.28); SQLite — Decision Ledger (`core/metrics/decision_ledger.py`, local cold store); S3 — Terraform state + audit Object Lock (target, D-083 deferred)
Secrets / KMS: KMS per-stack CMK (D-069, 90-day rotation); `alias/nova-oidc-signing` (ECC_NIST_P256, 90-day rotation target — code complete, key not yet created); `nova-spike-runner` IAM user (static key, daily rotation via `workflows-src/rotate-aws-key.yml`, REQ-230 forge-agnostic); Secrets Manager (`nova/github-token`); `NOVA_GITEA_TOKEN` in `.env` (not shell-env, per bash_allowlist)
External integrations in scope: CodeArtifact (internal PyPI — NOT yet provisioned); Gitea (`git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/acdl` — primary forge); GitHub (mirror, byte-identical workflows); AWS (account `581513795199` — pilot + identity stack); `kj` / kyverno-json v0.0.3 (Go binary, pinned SHA256, bundled in Lambda layer — `platform/abac/kj-version.txt`)
---
### 4. Active Constraints (the load-bearing ones)
Locked Decisions: D-001..D-231 (full ledger in PROJECT.md + CLARIFY history). Load-bearing for new work: D-022 (contract schema), D-039/D-047 (per-run creds), D-051 (Lambda Function URL), D-069 (per-stack CMK), D-083 (S3 Object Lock — deferred), D-092 (local emulators), D-096 (live pilot — lifted v1.26), D-121 (Decision Ledger), D-133 (submission-readiness gate), D-200..D-213 (v1.26 pilot), D-214..D-225 (v1.27), D-226..D-231 (v1.28 — mode resolution, kyverno-json ABAC, Argon2id fail-closed, PAT revocation strong-read, JWKS function URL, ABAC policy git-SHA versioning)
Active Invariants: INV-1..INV-17 (full text above). New in v1.28: INV-12 (mode observability), INV-13 (mode determinism), INV-14 (credential type encodes role), INV-15 (no AWS-managed identity), INV-16 (Argon2id password storage), INV-17 (ABAC discipline fail-closed)
Standing Capability Gate: CAP-001..CAP-038 — all Verified (32 from v1.0..v1.27 + 6 from v1.28). Gate enforced by `core/regression_verify.py` + CI merge gates. CAP-033..038 added v1.28 (CLI surface, delegation AST, layer/wheel match, auth flow, KMS sign, PAT revocation).
Anti-Goals Touched: `docs/vision.md` §7 / `NORTH_STAR.md` §Anti-Goals — (1) not an upstream dev platform; (2) not a general-purpose AI; (3) not a legacy infra bridge; (4) not a permissive delivery highway; (5) not a mutable audit log. v1.28 honored all 5 (no PDLC reach, narrow CLI autonomy, no VMs, ABAC fail-closed + HITL gates intact, immutable outbox).
Out-of-Scope (hard): MFA/TOTP enforcement (v1.21+); WebAuthn/FIDO2 (v1.23+); upstream IdP federation (v1.23+); Lambda layer auto-update on `core/` changes (v1.19); password breach detection (v1.23+); session refresh token rotation (v1.22); S3 Object Lock / JWS tamper-resistance (D-083, deferred); multi-cloud (Azure/GCP); ML forecasting; bonds/derivatives/options (D-200 equities-only); multi-validator BFT (D-201 single-validator PoA)
---
### 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`.
In Progress: N/A (no phase in progress; v1.28 complete; next milestone not yet scoped)
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.
Recent Incidents: none (no incidents in v1.27 or v1.28; 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).
---
### 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).
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.
