# RFORGE-WP-0002 — Forgejo resource economics evidence

## Goal

Provide the workload-owned demand, utilization, operations, and allocation
evidence for `resource:railiance:forgejo`, which supplies source and package
infrastructure to Helix Forge and the wider federation. Origin:
`RESOURCE-WP-0003-T04` delegated evidence gap.

Measure the live Gitea-compatible Helm workload
(`deployment/forgejo-gitea` on `reef-railiance`). Forgejo is the
migration target, not a second live product. Keep the resource id
`resource:railiance:forgejo`.

This id uses the historical `RAILIANCE-WP-` prefix (collides with other
ownership repos). New forge workplans use `FORGE-WP-`. Do not change
this file's `id` or hub UUID.

Do not add a public metrics or economics endpoint (ADR-0008). Collect
in-cluster or via the operator tunnel. Existing public Forgejo HTTPS is
a separate granted surface, not this plan. Do not treat
`environment: production` in resource-control as ADR-0006
`production-approved`.

## T01 — Measure Forgejo demand and utilization

```task
id: RFORGE-WP-0002-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "7048e354-0844-4f6c-aeaa-acf188b04ce2"
```

Record resource requests/limits and observed CPU/memory, repository and package
storage use/growth, database storage, runner capacity/activity, backup volume,
and material network traffic using stable units and timestamps.

Done when resource-control can forecast capacity and identify saturation or
idle capacity without accessing repository content or credentials.

**Outcome (2026-08-22):** `make forge-observe REMOTE=railiance01` publishes a
timestamped, versioned observation for deployment requests/limits and observed
CPU/memory, PVC and database capacity, shared/runner storage usage, recovery
posture, and unavailable axes. It reads neither repository contents nor Secret
surfaces.

## T02 — Declare service objectives and operations labor

```task
id: RFORGE-WP-0002-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "643c2393-2ee5-4264-972c-04c3b358dc86"
```

Record availability, recovery, retention, and performance requirements plus
setup and recurring operator activities. Separate forge, registry, runner,
database, backup, upgrade, and incident labor where evidence permits.

Done when total-cost and optimization cases can preserve the forge's service
constraints and labor assumptions.

**Outcome (2026-08-22):** the service-objective and labor evidence file names
the availability, restore, retention, performance, operational, upgrade, and
incident dimensions. Unknown targets and hours remain explicit nulls rather
than invented estimates.

## T03 — Publish shared-consumer allocation evidence

```task
id: RFORGE-WP-0002-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "498cc0c7-ba07-4e7f-a0ef-2e6b34bef04c"
```

Define explainable candidate drivers for source, package, and runner use across
Helix Forge, Coulomb, Railiance, and future tenants. Preserve shared overhead
and unattributed residuals; do not implement customer billing.

Done when a versioned driver report can feed resource-control allocation
without making the forge repository authoritative for booked cost.

**Outcome (2026-08-22):** `forge-raw-drivers-v1` proposes repository count,
package bytes, and runner job minutes, preserves all current use as an
unattributed residual, and assigns method selection to `resource-control`.

## Acceptance

- [x] Demand and utilization include storage, compute, runner, and backup axes.
- [x] Service objectives and labor assumptions are explicit.
- [x] Shared allocation evidence exposes residuals and provenance.

## Completion evidence

- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py' -v`: 1 test passed.
- Live read-only capture:
  `docs/evidence/resource-railiance-forgejo/observations/20260822T102256Z.json`.
- Current observation records 2,377,375,744 forge data bytes, 247,693,312
  runner data bytes, healthy single-instance CNPG state, continuous archiving,
  and no Forge database Backup/ScheduledBackup or restore-drill evidence.
