# AO Progress Report

Generated: 2026-06-02T23:02:58.728Z

Status: **NO-GO**. This surface is refreshed from local
repository state only; it does not publish, serve, tunnel, or call remote
services. The release evaluator remains read-only and reports
`mutationAttempted: false`.

Source of truth: `node scripts/release/check-release-gates.mjs --scope final-release`

## Current State

| Signal | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Release status | `NO-GO` |
| Final gates | `3/21` (14% backed) |
| Candidate gates | `3/21` |
| Primary blocker | `REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED` |
| Status marker | `[release-gates-ci:held final=3/21 candidate=3/21 reason=REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED]` |
| Blocking gates | 18 |
| First blocker | RPP-0001 `source-url` / `REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED` |
| Checklist | 1000/1000 checked, 0 open |
| Generated harness | 620 cases: 345 ready, 201 conflict, 74 blocked |
| Managed watcher | not-started, alive: false, cadence: 600000 ms |
| Storage smokes | DB guarded write: passed; file guarded write: passed |

The release model currently has **21 gates**. In the current
local evaluator snapshot, 3 gate(s) pass (RPP-0004 packaged-fallback, RPP-0005 remote-alias, RPP-0016 release-movement-summary)
and 18 release-blocking gate(s) remain open. Final release is
**NO-GO** because the evaluator reports
`REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED`.

## Current Plan

1. Keep all local, generated, Docker-local, graph, plugin-driver, recovery, and
   audit evidence as support evidence only.
2. Bind the release run to production-scoped topology, credential, identity,
   route, recovery, storage, and operator evidence.
3. Treat `storage-boundary-cas` as an explicit final-release blocker, not as
   covered by adjacent MySQL, SQLite, filesystem, chunking, or benchmark support
   proof, even though the DB/file guarded-write smokes pass locally.
4. Refresh this page and report during active work with the repo-local command
   below, then run the listed validation checks before publishing.

## Stage Map

| Stage | State | Snapshot | What matters |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Support evidence inventory | checked | 1000/1000 checklist | 620 generated harness cases are cataloged (345 ready, 201 conflict, 74 blocked). This is support evidence, not release approval. |
| Release-gate evaluator | held | 3/21 backed | The final-release evaluator is the source of truth. It is read-only, reports mutationAttempted: false, and currently names REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED. |
| Production binding | blocked | 13 blockers | Bind live topology, credential, identity, route, and recovery evidence to the final-release evaluator before release movement. |
| Storage boundary CAS | blocked | STORAGE_BOUNDARY_CAS_REQUIRED | DB/file guarded-write smokes remain useful support proof, but final release needs production-backed storage-boundary CAS for every final target write. |
| Operator proof and updates | active | 4 open | Refresh this surface locally every 600000 ms during active work, then run the focused progress checks before publishing. |
| Final decision | held | NO-GO | The Go/No-Go record and this surface must keep final release NO-GO while the evaluator reports [release-gates-ci:held final=3/21 candidate=3/21 reason=REPRINT_PUSH_LIVE_SOURCE_REQUIRED]. |

### Explicit Storage Blocker

`storage-boundary-cas` is open with
`STORAGE_BOUNDARY_CAS_REQUIRED`.
Required closure is production-backed evidence that every final target write is
guarded at the storage boundary, revalidated before mutation, and rejects
stale-at-write attempts without later mutation. The local DB guarded-write and
file guarded-write smokes pass, but they do not close this final-release gate.

Storage smoke commands recorded for this surface:

- `npm run test:playground:storage-guarded-db-write` -> `pass`
- `npm run test:playground:storage-guarded-file-write` -> `pass`

## Refresh Mechanism

One-shot refresh:

```sh
npm run refresh:progress-surface
```

Active-work loop, roughly every 10 minutes:

```sh
npm run refresh:progress-surface:watch
```

Managed active-work loop, also every 10 minutes:

```sh
npm run refresh:progress-surface:watch:start
npm run refresh:progress-surface:watch:status
npm run refresh:progress-surface:watch:stop
```

Both loops repeat every `600000` ms by default, are local-only,
and have no remote network or tunnel dependency. Stop the foreground loop with
Ctrl-C, or use the managed `stop` command for the detached watcher. For
deterministic checks use:

```sh
npm run check:progress-surface
```

## Timestamp Proof Compatibility

Integrated progress timestamp proof for `RPP-0038` remains preserved for the
existing release-gate tests.

- Command: `node --test test/progress-html-release-timestamp.test.js test/release-gates.test.js test/release-gate-cli.test.js`
- Observed status: `pass`; progress.html release status: `NO-GO`; proof timestamp: `2026-05-28T03:18:00.000Z`.
- The release remains held until production provenance is supplied.

Focused progress timestamp regression now checks `RPP-0078` against the same
progress page anchor.

- Command: `node --test test/release-gate-progress-release-timestamp-focused-regression.test.js test/progress-html-release-timestamp.test.js test/release-gates.test.js test/release-gate-cli.test.js`
- Observed status: `pass`; progress.html release status: `NO-GO`; proof timestamp: `2026-05-28T03:18:00.000Z`.
