Launch Readiness Record - Stella Ops
Updated: 2025-10-26 (UTC)
This document captures production launch sign-offs, deployment readiness checkpoints, and any open risks that must be tracked before GA cutover.
1. Sign-off Summary

* READY with caveat - remaining work noted in Section 3.
2. Deployment Readiness Checklist
- Production profiles committed: deploy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yamlanddeploy/helm/stellaops/values-prod.yamladded with front-door network hand-off and secret references for Mongo/MinIO/core services.
- Secrets placeholders documented: deploy/compose/env/prod.env.exampleenumerates required credentials (MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD,MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD, Redis/NATS endpoints,FRONTDOOR_NETWORK). Helm values reference Kubernetes secrets (stellaops-prod-core,stellaops-prod-mongo,stellaops-prod-minio,stellaops-prod-notify).
- Static validation executed: deploy/tools/validate-profiles.shrun on 2025-10-26 (docker compose config + helm lint/template) with all profiles passing.
- Ingress model defined: Production compose profile introduces external frontdoornetwork; README updated with creation instructions and scope of externally reachable services.
- Observability hooks: Authority/Signer/Attestor telemetry packs verified; scanner runtime build-id metrics landed (SCANNER-RUNTIME-17-401). Grafana dashboards referenced in component runbooks.
- Rollback assets: Stage Compose profile remains aligned (docker-compose.stage.yaml), enabling rehearsals before prod cutover; release manifests (deploy/releases/2025.09-stable.yaml) map digests for reproducible rollback.
- Rehearsal status: 2025-10-26 validation dry-run executed (deploy/tools/validate-profiles.shacross dev/stage/prod/airgap/mirror). Full stage Helm rollout pending access to the managed staging cluster; target to complete once credentials are provisioned.
3. Outstanding Gaps & Follow-ups
| Item | Owner | Tracking Ref | Target / Next Step | Impact | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant scope propagation and audit coverage | Authority Core Guild | AUTH-AOC-19-002(DOING 2025-10-26) | Land enforcement + audit fixtures by Sprint 19 freeze | Medium - required for multi-tenant GA but does not block initial cutover if tenants scoped manually. | 
| Orchestrator event envelopes + Notifier handshake | Scanner WebService Guild | SCANNER-EVENTS-16-301(BLOCKED),SCANNER-EVENTS-16-302(DOING) | Coordinate with Gateway/Notifier owners on preview package replacement or binding redirects; rerun dotnet testonce patch lands and refresh schema docs. Share envelope samples indocs/events/after tests pass. | High — gating Notifier migration; legacy notify path remains functional meanwhile. | 
| Offline Kit Python analyzer bundle | Offline Kit Guild + Scanner Guild | DEVOPS-OFFLINE-18-005(DONE 2025-10-26) | Monitor for follow-up manifest updates and rerun smoke script when analyzers change. | Medium - ensures language analyzer coverage stays current for offline installs. | 
| Offline Kit debug store mirror | Offline Kit Guild + DevOps Guild | DEVOPS-OFFLINE-17-004(BLOCKED 2025-10-26) | Release pipeline must publish out/release/debugartefacts; once available, runmirror_debug_store.pyand commitmetadata/debug-store.json. | Low - symbol lookup remains accessible from staging assets but required before next Offline Kit tag. | 
| Mongo schema validators for advisory ingestion | Concelier Storage Guild | CONCELIER-STORE-AOC-19-001(TODO) | Finalize JSON schema + migration toggles; coordinate with Ops for rollout window | Low - current validation handled in app layer; schema guard adds defense-in-depth. | 
| Authority plugin telemetry alignment | Security Guild | SEC2.PLG,SEC3.PLG,SEC5.PLG(BLOCKED pending AUTH DPoP/MTLS tasks) | Resume once upstream auth surfacing stabilises | Low - plugin remains optional; launch uses default Authority configuration. | 
4. Approvals & Distribution
- Record shared in #launch-readiness(Mattermost) 2025-10-26 15:15 UTC with DevOps + Guild leads for acknowledgement.
- Updates to this document require dual sign-off from DevOps Guild (owner) and impacted module guild lead; retain change log via Git history.
- Cutover rehearsal and rollback drills are tracked separately in docs/ops/launch-cutover.md(see associated TaskDEVOPS-LAUNCH-18-001). *** End Patch
