# Loose-end review — 2026-09-28

Reviewed both repository workplans: RTELE-WP-0001 is finished with all three
tasks done; RTEL-WP-0002 has T01–T03 done and T04 waiting. No proposed, ready or
other unfinished workplans exist in this checkout. No whole task can honestly
close without live acceptance, but T04's exporter/rule implementation is now done.

Added a strict stdout Prometheus exporter, a dated 24-signal contract including
`eso.token-renewal`, failure/absence rules, and native rule fixtures. Preserved
the original contract for existing SQLite bindings and producer evaluation time
for absence detection. Updated the README's stale package-deployment claim.

Validation:

- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v`: 19 passed.
- Prometheus 3.5.0 `promtool check rules rules/platform-assurance.json`: two valid rules.
- `promtool test rules tests/prometheus-rules.json`: seven scenarios passed
  (never seen, fresh, exact budget, stopped producer, future clock, disappeared
  scrape and failed token renewal).
- `promtool check metrics`: passed on exported platform September 27 evidence.
  That compatibility check used the original evaluation time, not a claim that
  yesterday's evidence is fresh today.

Reviewed platform source at `c3607ff`, including
`docs/evidence/2026-09-27-service-assurance.json` and the source contract, and
rapp-telemetry records at `6d2e9fe`. The package records private install/restore
as complete. Its T04 retains delivery, outside-node watchdog and recurring
backup admission. No live infrastructure was modified or notification sent.

The September 23 platform inbox request is acknowledged as read. Its existing
RPF-WP-0046-T06 retains exact failed-Job/48-hour delivery acceptance; the current
S3 renewal signal uses 36 hours and must not be silently redefined here.

RTEL-WP-0002 is now blocked; T04 remains wait for accepted package transport,
confirmed recipient/channel, actual acknowledged failure/absence, independent
watchdog and recurring backup ownership. Bernd Worsch supplies recipient and
admission decisions; rapp-telemetry/platform retain runtime/custody integration.
No tasks or workplans were created, and no unfinished workplan was closed.
