Jon Chery f8616b806e feat(P1): event emitters — CloudEvents envelope, Decision Ledger, Infracost adapter, attestation/confidence/policy event emission
P1 (Wave 1, feat) — REQ-187, REQ-188, REQ-205 (emitter), REQ-206 (emitter)

New components:
- core/metrics/event_envelope.py — CloudEvents 1.0 envelope + platform.* conventions
- core/metrics/run_manifest.py — per-run manifest writer (nova.run.started/completed/failed)
- core/metrics/decision_ledger.py — SQLite append-only hash-chain (ai.decision.made + attestation.recorded)
- core/metrics/infracost_adapter.py — Infracost post-processor (degraded mode when CLI absent, A6)
- schemas/metrics_event.schema.json — CloudEvents envelope schema
- schemas/metrics_run_manifest.schema.json — per-run manifest schema
- metrics/README.md — backup/restore doc (REQ-201)
- tests/test_metrics_emitters.py — 16 tests (all pass)

Modified components:
- core/confidence_signal.py — emits nova.confidence.computed + nova.ai.decision.made (D-122)
- core/hitl_gates.py — emits nova.attestation.recorded on qa/prod/dr gates (D-132)
- adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py — emits nova.policy.evaluated
- pyproject.toml — addopts gains --junitxml + --json-report + --cov (REQ-206)
- .gitignore — metrics runtime artifacts ignored

D-120: Nova-native (JSONL + SQLite, no Kafka/OTel)
D-121: Decision Ledger = outbox_writer extension → SQLite hash-chain
D-122: AI decision = confidence_signal + HITL gate (not LLM)
D-128: metrics/ at repo root
D-132: Attestation instrumentation

Nova Metrics Directory

v1.17 — Strategic Direction, Leadership Metrics & Unified Story (D-128)

This directory holds Nova's telemetry/observability artifacts. The metrics layer is Nova-native (D-120): JSONL event log + SQLite cold store + hash-chained Decision Ledger. No Kafka, Prometheus, ClickHouse, or QLDB.

Artifact inventory

Artifact Type Regenerable? Description
events.jsonl Append-only event log No (append-only state) CloudEvents 1.0 envelopes from all emitters (REQ-187)
decision_ledger.db SQLite append-only hash-chain No (append-only state) Decision Ledger: ai.decision.made + attestation.recorded events (REQ-188, D-121)
nova_metrics.db SQLite cold store Yes (regenerate via collector) Normalized fact/dimension tables (REQ-189, P2)
runs/<run_id>.json Per-run manifest Yes (regenerate from events) Run lifecycle: stages, durations, exit, confidence, HITL (REQ-187)
runs/<run_id>/ Durable run artifacts Yes (regenerate from $WORK) Persisted copies of pcr.json, signal.json, event.json, etc. (REQ-187)
lifecycle/<module>-<env>.json Lifecycle report Yes (regenerate from lifecycle runs) Per-module apply/modify/destroy results (REQ-205)
test-results.xml JUnit XML Yes (regenerate via pytest) Test results (REQ-187, P1 addopts)
test-report.json JSON test report Yes (regenerate via pytest) Test results in JSON (REQ-187, P1 addopts)
coverage.json Coverage report Yes (regenerate via pytest) Code coverage (REQ-206, P1 addopts)
powerbi/ PowerBI export Yes (regenerate via powerbi_export) CSV/JSON views for PowerBI ingestion (REQ-190, P3)
TRUST_SNAPSHOT.md Trust snapshot report Yes (regenerate via trust_snapshot) 5 trust metrics + chain-integrity verdict (REQ-211, P4)

Backup + restore

Append-only state (events.jsonl, decision_ledger.db): these are the source of truth. They should be committed to git (events.jsonl) or snapshotted (decision_ledger.db). If lost, they CANNOT be regenerated — the events they captured are gone.

Regenerable artifacts (nova_metrics.db, runs/, lifecycle/, test-results.xml, coverage.json, powerbi/): these are derived from the append-only state + the source signals (REGRESSION_REPORT.json, $WORK/*.json, junit XML). If lost, re-run the collector (core/metrics/collector.py, P2) to rebuild nova_metrics.db, then re-run the PowerBI export (core/metrics/powerbi_export.py, P3) to rebuild powerbi/.

Restore procedure:

  1. Recover events.jsonl + decision_ledger.db from git/snapshot.
  2. python3 core/metrics/collector.py → rebuilds nova_metrics.db.
  3. python3 core/metrics/powerbi_export.py → rebuilds powerbi/.
  4. python3 core/metrics/trust_snapshot.py → rebuilds TRUST_SNAPSHOT.md.

Concurrency model

Single-writer per run: the run manifest writer is the only writer per run. SQLite WAL mode + BEGIN IMMEDIATE prevents concurrent-write corruption on the Decision Ledger (P1 risk mitigation).
