# Retained S1 Handoff
## Purpose
Define the migration-window handoff between `reef-railiance` and
`railiance-infra` while grouped reef localization is still in flight.
Wave 1 makes `reef-railiance` the durable owner of the grouped Railiance
home-reef identity, topology, hosted-rail statement, and future `rapp`
bindings. `railiance-infra` remains the canonical S1 owner of raw inventory,
provisioning, hardening, and source-backed host facts that have not yet been
localized into the reef repo.
## Canonical Reef Surface
Use `reef-railiance` as the canonical home for:
- `declarations/reef.yaml`
- `substrate/identity.yaml`
- `substrate/topology.yaml`
- `bindings/rails.yaml`
- `bindings/rapps.yaml`
- repo-local grouped-boundary docs, questions, and future reef-local runbooks
New grouped-reef behavior, membership interpretation, hosted-rail stance, and
future `rapp` binding decisions should land here first.
## Retained S1 Surface
Still owned by `railiance-infra`:
- `inventory/servers.yaml` as the raw server identity source
- Terraform/cloud-init/Ansible provisioning and convergence logic
- generic OS hardening and substrate verification
- canonical S1 docs such as `docs/reef-first-wave-source-map.md`
- source-backed host facts that are still broader than the grouped home-reef
boundary
## Current Compatibility Path
Current operators do not need a flag day:
1. Continue using `railiance-infra` for server provisioning, inventory edits,
SSH/bootstrap mechanics, and raw host-fact maintenance.
2. Use `reef-railiance` for grouped home-reef identity, topology, hosted-rail
stance, and reef-local `rapp` binding decisions.
3. When a raw server fact changes, update `railiance-infra` first, then refresh
the reef-local projection only where that fact affects the grouped reef
boundary.
4. Keep unresolved grouped-membership or split criteria explicit in this repo
rather than forcing one permanent repo per server.
## Exit Condition
The migration window can end once the reef-specific interpretation no longer
depends on broader S1 docs for routine operator understanding, and the
remaining source-backed member facts needed by the grouped reef have been
localized cleanly.
