S00 Handoff Packet

Status: Published (reconciled to reopened 20260219 sprint wave) Date: 2026-02-19 Working directory: docs/modules/ui/v2-rewire Sprint: 20260218_005, task R0-07

Purpose

This packet is the authoritative handoff from sprint 20260218_005 (Spec Freeze) to implementation sprints. All frozen decisions are referenced here.

Implementation execution for this handoff was the reopened sprint set:

• SPRINT_20260219_002 through SPRINT_20260219_007
• SPRINT_20260219_008 (backend endpoint + migration dependency closure)
• SPRINT_20260219_015 (Pack-13 promotions contract binding follow-on)

All completed sprint files from this set are now archived under docs-archived/implplan/.

Frozen decisions

Decision	Document	Key ruling
Canonical IA taxonomy and root domain ordering	source-of-truth.md sections 2.1 and 2.2	Seven roots: Dashboard, Release Control, Security and Risk, Evidence and Audit, Integrations, Platform Ops, Administration. Order is fixed.
Ownership boundaries (Policy, Trust, System, Security Data split)	source-of-truth.md section 2.2, authority-matrix.md section B	Policy Governance -> Administration. Trust and Signing -> Administration. System -> Administration. Legacy Security Data -> split: connectivity in Integrations/Platform Ops, gating impact in Security and Risk.
Superseded alternatives (forbidden placements)	authority-matrix.md section B; S00_nav_rendering_policy.md do-not list	Trust in Evidence, Policy in Release Control, System as top-level root are forbidden.
Release Control capability rendering policy	S00_nav_rendering_policy.md	Releases and Approvals may be direct nav shortcuts under Release Control group; Bundles, Deployments, and Environments stay grouped under Release Control ownership.
Advisory Sources screen ownership and spec	S00_advisory_sources_spec.md	Security and Risk owns decision-impact view. Integrations owns connector config. Platform Ops owns freshness ops.
Trust and Signing ownership transition and consumer model	S00_trust_ownership_transition.md	Administration is sole owner. Evidence and Audit and Security and Risk are consumers with read-only links only.
Route deprecation map and activation sequence	S00_route_deprecation_map.md	Complete v1 -> v2 mapping with per-sprint activation sequence.
Endpoint contract ledger v1	S00_endpoint_contract_ledger_v1.md	12 screen domains classified; previously missing rows S00-T05-RC-01 and S00-T05-SEC-02 are now reconciled to shipped backend contracts (EXISTS_COMPAT).

Downstream target sprints (executed and archived)

Sprint	Dependency on S00 decisions	Unblocked after

SPRINT_20260219_005_FE_ui_v2_shell_evidence_audit_structure	Trust transition doc, evidence ownership policy, contract ledger EVID row	SPRINT_20260219_002

SPRINT_20260219_007_FE_ui_v2_shell_qa_and_readiness_reverification	Strict closure gate, ledger reconciliation, readiness publication	SPRINT_20260219_003 to SPRINT_20260219_006

Unresolved risks (carry into implementation)

Risk	Severity	Mitigation	Owner sprint
Bundle API (S00-T05-RC-01) contract drift after implementation	Medium	Keep ledger pinned to implemented /api/v1/release-control/bundles* routes and reject path regressions that collide with evidence bundle export namespace.	SPRINT_20260219_008 + downstream QA
Advisory Sources cross-service composition drift (S00-T05-SEC-02)	Medium	Keep Concelier freshness and Policy impact/conflicts ownership split explicit; verify tenant/scope behavior in readiness reruns.	SPRINT_20260219_008 + downstream QA
Trust scope model (trust:read, trust:write, trust:admin) requires Authority alignment	Closed (2026-02-19)	Authority canonical scopes and Platform trust policies are wired; A6 now includes owner mutation routes (/api/v1/administration/trust-signing/{keys,issuers,certificates,transparency-log}) with DB backing via migration 046_TrustSigningAdministration.sql.	SPRINT_20260219_016
Approvals multi-tab fan-out latency (S00-T05-APR-01)	Medium	Preserve lazy loading and stale-data behavior in shell and add backend performance verification in follow-on integration work.	SPRINT_20260219_003
Data Integrity aggregate endpoint (S00-T05-OPS-01) spans modules	Medium	Keep ownership split explicit in shell and assign backend composition owner before full readiness GO.	SPRINT_20260219_006 / SPRINT_20260219_007
Legacy alias removal can miss long-tail deep links	Low	Keep redirect map under strict tests and remove aliases only after measured traffic evidence.	SPRINT_20260219_002 / SPRINT_20260219_007

Contract ledger sign-off status

• Frontend shell sign-off is complete through SPRINT_20260219_006.
• Backend dependency sign-off for previously unresolved rows (S00-T05-RC-01, S00-T05-SEC-02) is now complete via SPRINT_20260219_008 evidence and ledger reconciliation.
• Promotions row S00-T05-RC-02 and Administration row S00-T05-ADM-01 are fully reconciled to EXISTS_COMPAT via SPRINT_20260219_016 backend contract enrichment evidence.

Non-shipped exploratory work

None.
