Item 13 is the restore RESOURCE-WP-0002 already proved. Item 14 retires
the dead Bitnami postgresql-ha deploy path and gates Valkey until a
consumer exists. Item 17 publishes the versioned S3 consumer-interface
index.
32 assertions, 31 pass on Railiance01. The one failure is a real defect the old
loose assertion could never have seen: Flannel VXLAN declared open to Anywhere
with no source restriction, currently absent from the host, so converging would
introduce the exposure rather than correct drift.
Also records the sharper finding from wiring it up: verify.yaml was missing the
vars_files the bootstrap play had, so the firewall assertions rendered empty and
silently asserted nothing - worse than having no check at all.

T04 done, and the answer changes the order. Item 10 was scored size 5 as a
greenfield build. It is not. railiance-infra already has a Goss baseline suite,
an ansible runner, a make verify target that runs it against all hosts and
commits TAP reports to git, and an evidence trail in reports/. The mechanism is
built and wired.
Two things are wrong with it and neither is a build. Nothing runs it - the last
TAP report is dated 2026-03-09, five months ago. And its firewall assertion
matches /6443\/tcp.*ALLOW/, which asserts the port is allowed but not from
whom - it passes identically whether 6443 is restricted to one operator address
or open to the internet, which is exactly the drift that went undetected. It
would however have caught the other finding, since it asserts Status: active and
UFW is inactive on CoulombCore.
Rescoped into slices: 10a (run it, tighten the assertion) is size 1-2 and rises
to WSJF 12.0, fourth overall and the highest-value item after the ratifications.
10b (schedule + alert path) is 7.0. Names the shared dependency - 10b and 9b are
the same plumbing, and building either of 9 or 10 without it produces logs
nobody reads.
The lesson recorded: the gap analysis correctly identified no-conformance-loop
as a capability gap, but the capability was two-thirds built and abandoned.
Before sizing a gap as a build, check whether it is actually an abandonment.

T03 done: sent as ac73b172 with the recommendation that master takes the eight
ratification and taxonomy items, and including the correction that our earlier
ArgoCD report to them was wrong.

Compares INTENT (declared aspiration) against SCOPE (declared state) against
verified reality for every railiance-* repo. This was only possible now: a gap
could not be distinguished from a stale document until the architecture was
coherently defined, the SCOPE files described verified rather than assumed
reality, and the INTENT files stated current rather than copied intent.
Names the pattern that organizes the work: every gap is declared-but-unbuilt
(telemetry, S4, conformance loop), built-but-undeclared (the firewall
restriction, Q1 custody, the Plane dimension), or decided-but-unmoved (forge
placement, hosts retirement, rapp schema). The third kind is cheapest to clear
and blocks the most; the second is most dangerous, because it stays invisible
until something breaks - the firewall case was found by accident.
RAILIANCE-WP-0016 orders 19 items by WSJF with owner and reasoning per item.
Top three are nearly free and all decided-but-unmoved. Item 1, converging the
firewall allowlist, is a live exposure: two standing grants point at addresses
the ISP has reassigned. Item 2, five pending ratifications in railiance-master,
blocks a quarter of the backlog for a day of decisions.
Flags honestly that the size scores for telemetry and the conformance loop are
guesses, that item 13 is blocked rather than deprioritized, and that this
backlog belongs to railiance-master rather than S3 - it lives here only because
the analysis was done here.
