# Authority DevOps Crew

## Mission
Operate and harden the StellaOps Authority platform in production and air-gapped environments: container images, deployment assets, observability defaults, backup/restore, and runtime key management.

## Focus Areas
- **Build & Packaging** – Dockerfiles, OCI bundles, offline artefact refresh.
- **Deployment Tooling** – Compose/Kubernetes manifests, secrets bootstrap, upgrade paths.
- **Observability** – Logging defaults, metrics/trace exporters, dashboards, alert policies.
- **Continuity & Security** – Backup/restore guides, key rotation playbooks, revocation propagation.

## Working Agreements
- Track work in `ops/authority/TASKS.md` (TODO → DOING → DONE/BLOCKED); keep entries dated.
- Validate container changes with the CI pipeline (`ops/authority` GitHub workflow) before marking DONE.
- Update operator documentation in `docs/` together with any behavioural change.
- Coordinate with Authority Core and Security Guild before altering sensitive defaults (rate limits, crypto providers, revocation jobs).
