Place telemetry on the Quality dimension as Q2 Observability

The placement question seeded as open is answered by canon rather than by a
new decision. OAS section 8 defines Q2 Observability as 'telemetry and
monitoring: metrics, logs, traces' - this repo in canon's own words.

The 2026-08-11 coherence review found Railiance had been modelling itself on
one of OAS's six required dimensions and treating everything else as unplaced.
Observability was never homeless; the dimension it belongs to was not in use.
Notes Q7 Governance as the sibling concern - the conformance loop, the other
half of the self-evidencing aspiration this repo serves.

# railiance-telemetry — Agent Instructions
## Repo Identity
**Purpose:** Observability for Railiance — monitoring, metrics, logs, traces, and alerting that turn running behaviour into evidence and give the self-organizing control loop a signal to close on.
**Domain:** financials
**Repo slug:** railiance-telemetry
**Topic ID:** `ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38`
**Workplan prefix:** `RAILIANCE-WP-`

## State Hub Integration
The Custodian State Hub tracks work across all domains. Codex uses HTTP REST and
the `statehub` CLI by default. MCP is opt-in because the current Codex MCP bridge
adds severe call latency; the full administrative MCP surface remains available
to clients that need it.
| Context | URL |
|---------|-----|
| Local workstation | `http://127.0.0.1:8000` |
| Remote via tunnel | `http://127.0.0.1:18000` |
| Optional local edge relay | http://127.0.0.1:18080 |
When an operator has enabled the edge relay, set API_BASE to the relay URL.
Queueable writes return an explicit queued receipt if the central hub is
unreachable. Treat that as pending local evidence, then ask the operator to run
statehub outbox status/replay after connectivity returns.
Codex workspace-write sandboxes need network access enabled to reach the host's
loopback listener. Bootstrap this once with `make -C ~/state-hub configure-codex`
and restart Codex. The canonical REST health endpoint is `/state/health`, not
`/health`. If a sandboxed loopback probe fails, retry it with escalated execution
before declaring State Hub unavailable; a managed Codex permission profile may
still enforce isolated networking. Experimental MCP can be enabled explicitly
with `make -C ~/state-hub configure-codex WITH_MCP=1`.
### Orient at session start
```bash
# Offline brief — works without hub connection
cat .custodian-brief.md
# Active workplans for this domain
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/workplans/?topic_id=ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38&status=active" \
| python3 -m json.tool
# Check inbox
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=railiance-telemetry&unread_only=true" \
| python3 -m json.tool
```
Mark a message read:
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
```
### Log progress (required at session close)
```bash
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"summary": "what was done",
"event_type": "note",
"author": "codex",
"workplan_id": "<uuid>",
"task_id": "<uuid>"
}'
```
Omit `workplan_id` / `task_id` when not applicable.
### Update task status
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"status": "progress"}'
# values: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel
```
### Flag a task for human review
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"needs_human": true, "intervention_note": "reason"}'
```

## Session Protocol
**Start:**
1. `cat .custodian-brief.md` — domain goal and open workplans (offline-safe)
2. Check inbox: `GET /messages/?to_agent=railiance-telemetry&unread_only=true`; mark read
3. Scan workplans: `ls workplans/` — note `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked` files and open tasks
4. Check human-needed tasks: `GET /tasks/?needs_human=true`
**During work:**
- Update task statuses in workplan files as tasks progress
- Record significant decisions via `POST /decisions/`
**Close:**
1. Update workplan file task statuses to reflect progress
2. If finishing a workplan: hand off **residuals** as live work records first
(intake with `origin: residual` + `origin_ref: <WP-id>`, or a next workplan /
decision / engagement). Do not park leftovers only in prose or `SCOPE.md`.
Canon: `the-custodian/canon/standards/work-record-types_v0.1.md` § Residuals.
3. Log: `POST /progress/` with a summary of what changed (name handoff ids)
4. After workplan file changes, run:
```bash
statehub fix-consistency
```
Coding agents should run this directly; ask the operator only if the CLI or
State Hub API is unavailable. This syncs task status from files into the hub DB.

## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
Work items originate as files in this repo — not in the hub. The hub is a
read/cache/index layer that rebuilds from files.
**File location:** `workplans/RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
**Archived location:** finished workplans may move to
`workplans/archived/YYMMDD-RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The `YYMMDD` prefix is
the completion/archive date; the frontmatter `id` does not change.
**Ad Hoc Tasks:** small opportunistic fixes discovered during a session use
`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids `ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, etc. Use
this only for low-risk work completed directly; create a normal workplan for
anything needing analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or multiple phases.
**Frontmatter:**
```yaml
---
id: RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN
type: workplan
title: "..."
domain: financials
repo: railiance-telemetry
status: proposed | ready | active | blocked | backlog | finished | archived
owner: codex
topic_slug: ...
created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
state_hub_workstream_id: "<uuid>" # fix-consistency — do not edit (legacy field name; workplan UUID)
---
```
Use `proposed` for a new draft, `ready` after review against current repo
state, and `finished` after implementation. `stalled` and `needs_review` are
derived health labels, not frontmatter statuses.
**Terminology:** workplan is the fleet term; `workstream` appears only in legacy
API/MCP/frontmatter bridges until `STATE-WP-0069` retires them — see
`the-custodian/canon/standards/workplan-terminology-fleet_v0.1.md`.
**Task block format** (one per `##` section):
```
## Task Title
` ` `task
id: RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-T01
status: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel
priority: high | medium | low
state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>" # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
` ` `
Task description text.
```
Status progression: `todo``progress``done`; use `wait` for waiting/blocked work and `cancel` for stopped work.
**Residuals when finishing:** actionable leftovers become live work records
before `status: finished` — usually an intake (`origin: residual`,
`origin_ref: RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN`) or a spawned workplan. Residual is a *role*,
not a kind. Fleet list lives on State Hub, not in `SCOPE.md`.
To create a new workplan:
1. Write the file following the format above
2. Run `statehub fix-consistency` locally; ask the operator only if the CLI or
State Hub API is unavailable.

## Open Placement Question
## Placement: Quality dimension, Q2 Observability
Railiance's stack dimension defines five levels (S1S5). Observability is
cross-cutting: it draws signal from every level and is consumed by all of them.
This repo is **not** a stack level and not an exception to the stack model. It
is a concern on the **Quality dimension**, sub-level **Q2 Observability**, whose
canon definition (`canon/standards/orthogonal-architecture_v1.0.md` §8) is:
Whether this repo is best modelled as an S3 platform capability (it runs
stateful services and is consumed by others), or as a concern on the Quality
dimension rather than the Stack dimension, is **not settled here**. It is a
decision for `railiance-master`, which owns the taxonomy.
> *Telemetry and monitoring. Examples: metrics, logs, traces.*
This is stated explicitly because leaving placement undeclared is exactly how
`railiance-forge` ended up outside the stack model without anyone deciding it
should be.
That is this repo, in canon's own words.
The question was originally raised as open — S3 platform capability, or Quality
concern? — and answered by the 2026-08-11 coherence review, which found that
Railiance had been modelling itself on one of OAS's six required dimensions and
treating everything else as unplaced. Observability was never homeless; the
dimension it belongs to was simply not in use.
Ratification sits with `railiance-master`, which owns the taxonomy. Related:
the conformance loop is **Q7 Governance and Change Management** — a sibling
concern on the same dimension, and the other half of the self-evidencing
aspiration this repo exists to serve.
