# Replay Ops Runbook Prep — PREP-RUNBOOK-REPLAY-187-004 (Draft)

Status: Draft (2025-11-20)
Owners: Docs Guild · Ops Guild
Scope: Capture required sections for the replay operations runbook once APIs are finalized.

## Runbook sections to include
1) **Prechecks**: confirm trust roots, air-gap status, Evidence Locker availability, and bundle integrity (`sha256`, DSSE verification).
2) **Ingestion**: steps to POST replay records to Evidence Locker (`/replay/records`), expected responses, retry/backoff guidance.
3) **Verification**: CLI commands (`stella verify --bundle`), Attestor verification call once available, interpreting results.
4) **Replay/Compare**: `stella replay` and `stella diff` workflows, deterministic output locations, common failure modes.
5) **Observability**: log/metric names to watch (to be filled after Evidence Locker/CLI finalize telemetry).
6) **Escalation**: contacts for Scanner/CLI/Attestor/Evidence Locker guilds.

## Dependencies
- Replay payload schema (`docs/modules/evidence-locker/replay-payload-contract.md`).
- CLI and Attestor prep docs for command/API details.

## Handoff
When APIs finalize, merge this content into `docs/runbooks/replay_ops.md` and retire this prep stub.
