Production Readiness

Production Readiness Gate (v1)

I use this document as the frozen production-readiness gate contract for the current bootstrap toolchain.

Contract version: prodready.v1

What I Freeze in v1

I freeze a final, scripted production-readiness gate that requires:

• milestone gate coverage M52 through M69 in the active test run
• representative checkpoint coverage for M54 through M59 slices
• presence of all frozen v1 contract docs
• release-candidate packaging and checksum verification success

Enforcement

I enforce this contract in:

• tests/production_readiness.sh

That harness is integrated at the end of tests/run.sh and therefore enforced by make test.

Gate Inputs in v1

I require successful prerequisite gate outputs from the active run:

• /tmp/l0_m52_parser_fuzz.out
• /tmp/l0_m53_verifier_matrix.out
• /tmp/l0_m60_intrinsic_contracts.out
• /tmp/l0_m61_debug_map_schema.out
• /tmp/l0_m62_trace_schema_contracts.out
• /tmp/l0_m63_deterministic_builds.out
• /tmp/l0_m64_differential_semantics.out
• /tmp/l0_m65_fuzz_stress.out
• /tmp/l0_m66_performance_gates.out
• /tmp/l0_m67_error_model.out
• /tmp/l0_m68_release_pipeline.out
• /tmp/l0_m69_compatibility_matrix.out

I also require representative milestone checkpoints already produced by the suite for M54-M59 slices.

Release-Candidate Check in v1

I run the release pipeline for:

• version 1.0.0-rc1

I require all expected artifacts and checksum verification to pass.

Tag Policy in v1

I cut and publish a production candidate tag in the repository:

• v1.0.0-rc1

I treat this as the production candidate anchor for the v1 contract set.

Out of Scope in v1

• External deployment rollout automation.
• Signed artifact attestation systems.
• Multi-platform production readiness beyond current Linux x86-64 bootstrap scope.
