The backup is procured and proven, so the loop runs on real evidence.
- data/actuals/2026-08.json: first real observation. database 0.6365 GB,
stored 0.0066 GB over 8 objects, backup success 1/1, restore RTO 1.08 min.
Five proxies null, each with a named owner in measurement_gaps.
- data/thresholds/platform-audit-storage.json + tools/thresholds.py: budget
variance, abnormal growth, stale backup, unused commitment. Fail-closed —
an unmeasured value is reported as unmeasured, never as within.
- financial_exchange.py gains a usage mode emitting technical_usage records to
fin-hub, with measurement gaps carried through and no infrastructure amount:
fin-hub owns the booked fact and a null is never sent as 0.00.
- observation schema 0.2 allows null cost and usage proxies; variance.py fails
closed rather than reporting a 100% favourable variance on a missing amount.
- platform-audit-storage: ordered -> active, commissioned 2026-08-14, on
operational fact rather than on the purchase.
The optimization case is now approved by the founder. That needed a schema
change: Host Europe never supplied written terms, so options gained
excluded/exclusion_reason. Previously an unevaluable alternative blocked its
case forever, leaving the record claiming no decision while the bucket was in
production. An excluded option keeps its unknowns and must say what would
bring it back.
August produces no variance and should not: the decision forecast starts at
2026-09, so August is a commissioning baseline. Threshold run is 2 within,
1 not applicable, 6 unmeasured, 0 breaches.
Also fixes a pre-existing test failure: reef-storage consumers_actual is now
rapp-postgres, which the assertion still expected to be empty.
136 tests pass.

Publish the operational reference convention (reef: and secret:
handles). Add a resource-control view of reef-railiance that excludes
S3. Open RESOURCE-WP-0006 for the five-facet inventory model.
T06: optimization-case schema, fail-closed evaluator, cadence and decision
template. Every option including the baseline must present all ten decision
fields; one unknown blocks the comparison. Validated on the storage case
(Hetzner computes and loses to Scaleway by EUR 29.14/month on operator labour;
Host Europe blocks on four named gaps) and on the non-storage reef-railiance
k3s rightsizing case (low utilization is real, but nothing is costable while
the railiance01 price is unknown).
T07: portfolio report over coverage, lifecycle, utilization, cost, renewals,
risks, open cases, and next actions, derived only from committed evidence.
Portfolio spend is reported null rather than as a partial sum, unattributed
cost is a named list rather than a spread, and unmeasurable resources are
reported rather than dropped.
RESOURCE-WP-0003 is finished; both cases remain blocked_on_evidence against
live delegated records in other repositories. RESOURCE-WP-0002 is untouched.
