Phase 11 — v1.2-research-and-readme (v1.2) VERIFY

Verdict: Phase 11: VERIFIED Tag: v1.2.1 Date: 2026-07-21

---

Scope

Phase 11 is a docs-only phase: re-evaluate go-gitea/gitea#36988, audit the v1.1 spike for NFR gaps + simplification opportunities, and rewrite README.md to reflect v1.1 complete + the actual platform flow + the v1.2 objective. Requirement covered: REQ-29.

Verification layers

1. Structural

• README.md exists (52 → 144 lines, +92).
• .ciagent/RESEARCH.md has a ## v1.2 Research Addendum (Phase 11, 2026-07-21) section (Targets 9–13 + decisions table).
• scripts/verify_phase11.sh exists (+x, 39 lines).
• .ciagent/PLAN.md updated to Phase 11.
• No new executable code; no schema changes; no AWS changes.
• PASS.

2. Behavioral (scripts/verify_phase11.sh)

=== Phase 11 verification ===
README.md: OK (v1.2 framing, platform flow, how-to-run, credentials)
RESEARCH.md: OK (v1.2 addendum, Targets 9-13, D-047/D-048/D-049)
.ciagent/ files: OK (v1.2 milestone consistent across all 5 files)
#36988 re-check: OK (date + D-039 extension recorded)

=== Phase 11: VERIFIED ===

All 24 assertions pass:

• README.md: v1.2 (active) present; v1.1 (active) absent; v1.1 marked complete; v1.3.0 ship tag referenced; D-047 referenced; "How the platform works" section present; spike flow (terraform plan, confidence signal, DynamoDB outbox) documented; run_spike_e2e.sh in how-to-run.
• RESEARCH.md: v1.2 addendum section; Targets 9–13; D-047/D-048/D-049; "still open" for #36988.
• .ciagent/ consistency: config.json milestone v1.2; PROJECT.md v1.2 objective; REQUIREMENTS.md REQ-29; ROADMAP.md Phase 11; ARCHITECTURE.md v1.2 scope.
• #36988 re-check: 2026-05-27 last-updated date recorded; D-039 waiver extension recorded.
• PASS.

3. Security

• No credentials introduced or modified. The README documents the D-039/D-047 waiver and links to #36988 but does not embed any AWS key material.
• RESEARCH.md's P1-1 redaction target (two AWS access key IDs in .ciagent/VERIFY.md Phase 09 narrative) is documented as a Phase 12 action — not yet redacted (Phase 12 scope). No new key IDs introduced in this phase.
• PASS.

4. Quality

• README.md is accurate against the v1.1 spike codebase (the flow diagram matches scripts/run_spike_e2e.sh step-by-step; the repo layout table matches ls).
• RESEARCH.md's NFR audit findings are grounded in actual file reads (spike_runner_policy.json, create_state_backend.py, create_iam_user.py, run_spike_*.sh, rotate_spike_key.sh).
• The #36988 re-check facts (state=open, merged=false, updated_at=2026-05-27) were fetched live from api.github.com/repos/go-gitea/gitea/pulls/36988 during the research.
• D-047/D-048/D-049 are consistent with the PROJECT.md decisions table and the ROADMAP.md phase descriptions.
• PASS.

P0 / P1

• P0: none.
• P1: none new. P1-1 (carried forward from v1.1 audit) is explicitly scoped for Phase 12 — the redaction target is identified in RESEARCH.md TARGET 10 but the redaction itself is Phase 12's REQ-30 deliverable.

Requirements covered

• REQ-29: README.md is fully rewritten to reflect the v1.1-complete platform: the actual spike flow (contract → IR → terraform plan → Checkov → confidence signal → outbox), how to run it (scripts/run_spike_e2e.sh; run_platform.sh noted as the v1.2 consolidation), the real repo layout, the v1.2 objective, the environments table, and the credentials/D-047 waiver. No stale "v1.1 (active)" framing. VERIFIED.

Conclusion

Phase 11 is VERIFIED. The v1.2 milestone is open with a clear research baseline: #36988 is still blocked (D-047 extends the waiver), the spike's NFR gaps are catalogued (Phase 12 scope), the simplification plan is D-048 (script consolidation), the ECS L1 catalog is scoped (D-049, Phase 13), and the README accurately documents the platform as it exists today.
