[autodev] Update configuration and documentation for cycle-1

- Enhanced `.env.example` with detailed CMake build flags and replay-mode strategy flags for development and CI environments.
- Updated `.gitignore` to include a new deploy rollback bookmark.
- Revised `_docs/_autodev_state.md` to reflect the current task status and steps.
- Added new lessons to `_docs/LESSONS.md` regarding testing and architectural improvements.
- Documented changes in `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` to reflect the relaxed OpenCV version pin.
- Updated test data documentation in `_docs/02_document/tests/test-data.md` to clarify fixture usage and paths.

This commit continues the cycle-1 documentation sync and addresses various configuration updates for improved clarity and functionality.

+## Cycle 1 Implementation Status
+
+> Appended 2026-05-19 as part of greenfield Step 13 (Update Docs, task mode). Captures the as-built deltas from this planning report after 97 implementation batches + Step 11 Run Tests + Step 12 Test-Spec Sync. Sources: `_docs/03_implementation/implementation_completeness_cycle1_report.md`, `_docs/03_implementation/run_tests_step11_report.md`, `_docs/02_tasks/done/` (165 task specs), `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`.
+
+### Composition-root architecture additions (not in the original Plan)
+
+The Plan-era `architecture.md` § ADR-009 (interface-first, constructor injection) and module-layout.md's "Composition root is `runtime_root/`" rule remain correct, but cycle 1 added two cross-cutting Tier-1 mechanisms inside `runtime_root/` that the Plan did not anticipate. Both are operational prerequisites for `compose_root()` reaching takeoff:
+
+- **`_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` + `register_strategy(...)` API (AZ-591)** — a module-level `dict[(component_slug, strategy_name)] → factory` populated per-binary. `runtime_root.airborne_bootstrap.register_airborne_strategies()` fills 7 airborne slots (`c1_vio`, `c2_vpr`, `c2_5_rerank`, `c3_matcher`, `c3_5_adhop`, `c4_pose`, `c5_state`) with `tier="airborne"`. Without this, `compose_root()` raises `StrategyNotLinkedError` on the first config-driven strategy lookup. The registry is the runtime-side complement to ADR-002 build-time exclusion: the build chooses which strategies are even available to register, the registry chooses which one this binary serves.
+- **`pre_constructed` kwarg + `build_pre_constructed(config)` (AZ-618 umbrella → subtasks AZ-619..AZ-624)** — `compose_root(config, pre_constructed=...)` now requires a 12-key dict of infrastructure objects (`c13_fdr`, `c6_descriptor_index`, `c6_tile_store`, `c7_inference`, `c3_lightglue_runtime`, `c3_feature_extractor`, `c282_ransac_filter`, `c5_wgs_converter`, `c5_se3_utils`, `c5_isam2_graph_handle`, `c5_imu_preintegrator`, `clock`). The airborne entrypoint builds these in 6 dependency-ordered phases (A=c13/clock → F=wire_main); GPU-touching builders gate on the corresponding `BUILD_*` env flag. Missing keys raise `AirborneBootstrapError` with the missing-key name; tests stub by passing the same `pre_constructed=...` kwarg.
+
+These additions sit inside `runtime_root/`; no component crosses the import boundary AZ-507 enforces. Both still need to be folded into `architecture.md` (ADR-009 sibling notes) and `module-layout.md` § "Composition Root" — deferred to a follow-up `/document` task pass.
+
+### BLOCKED tasks with parked Tier-2 follow-ups
+
+Per the implement skill § 15 "PASS-with-BLOCKED" allowable terminal classification (see `implementation_completeness_cycle1_report.md`):
+
+| Task | Status | Reason | Parked Tier-2 follow-up |
+|------|--------|--------|-------------------------|
+| AZ-332 — C1 OKVIS2 production-default `VioStrategy` | BLOCKED | Tier-2 prerequisites: CI build env + Jetson hardware + DBoW2 vocab artifact. Ships a Python facade + pybind11 binding skeleton; first `add_frame` raises until upstream `okvis::ThreadedSlam` wiring lands. | **AZ-592** (`_docs/02_tasks/backlog/`) |
+| AZ-333 — C1 VINS-Mono research-only `VioStrategy` | BLOCKED | Tier-2 prerequisites + upstream vendoring decision (HKUST + ROS-strip vs. community fork). Same skeleton-only state as AZ-332. | **AZ-593** (`_docs/02_tasks/backlog/`) |
+
+**Operational consequence**: the production-default airborne `VioStrategy` for cycle-1 release is **`KltRansac`** (the engine-rule-mandatory simple baseline, AZ-334), NOT OKVIS2 as `architecture.md` ADR-001 nominally implies. ADR-001 / ADR-002 remain architecturally correct (the seam exists; the build-flag gating works); the production *default selection* shifts until Tier-2 lands. The `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` still registers the OKVIS2 + VINS-Mono slots so the registry seam stays correct — selecting them via config raises `StrategyNotAvailableError` from `vio_factory.py` until their `BUILD_*` flag is ON.
+
+**Closed Won't-Fix during this cycle**: AZ-589 + AZ-590 (the original remediation tasks for AZ-332 + AZ-333). Both targeted upstream APIs that don't exist in the actually-checked-in OKVIS2 submodule + a non-existent VINS-Mono submodule. The post-mortem details are in `implementation_completeness_cycle1_report.md` § "Verdict — Revised 2026-05-16".
+
+### Run Tests (Step 11) results
+
+| Surface | Result |
+|---------|--------|
+| Local Tier-1 pytest suite | **3343 passed / 88 skipped / 0 failed** (12 logical chunks; full details in `run_tests_step11_report.md`) |
+| Docker Tier-1 SUT Reality Gate | **NOT MET** — both harnesses (`scripts/run-tests.sh` + `e2e/docker/run-tier1.sh`) have pre-existing drift unrelated to Step 10 work (missing `ardupilot/*` + `inavflight/*` images on Docker Hub; broken Dockerfile entrypoints; unseeded tile-cache volume). Rehabilitation epic **AZ-602** owns this. |
+| Skip classification | 14 Tier-2-only (Jetson) — legitimate; 8 CUDA/GPU absent on macOS dev host — legitimate; 6 TensorRT-on-Tier-2-only — legitimate; 57 Docker-compose-dependent — borderline, becomes covered once any harness runs end-to-end; 3 console-scripts-not-on-PATH — env-conditional; remainder legitimate |
+
+### Dependency pin drift since Plan
+
+- **opencv-python**: relaxed from `>=4.12.0` to `>=4.11.0.86,<4.12` (D-CROSS-CVE-1 deferred per `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`; root cause is the gtsam==4.2.1 / numpy<2.0 ABI lock). See revised Decision 9 above. The original CVE-2025-53644 intent stands and will replay once gtsam ships numpy-2 wheels.
+
+### Documentation reconciliation still owed (deferred to a follow-up `/document` task pass)
+
+This Step-13 session updated the highest-leverage system-level deltas only. The following surfaces still carry Plan-era assertions that do not match cycle-1 as-built behaviour and should be refreshed in a follow-up session:
+
+- `architecture.md` — add ADR-009 sibling notes for `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` + `pre_constructed`; revise OpenCV mentions (§ Technology stack, § Risks); reflect KltRansac-as-production-default in § C1 ADR commentary.
+- `module-layout.md` — extend § "Composition Root" with `airborne_bootstrap` + `build_pre_constructed` ownership; AZ-618 / AZ-591 ownership rows in the runtime_root section.
+- `components/01_c1_vio/description.md` — note KltRansac is the operational default while AZ-592 / AZ-593 are parked.
+- `components/<NN>_<cN>/description.md` for the other 13 components — task-by-task reconciliation against the 80 product tasks in `done/`.
+- `common-helpers/*.md` — task-by-task reconciliation against the 8 helper tasks in `done/`.
+- `tests/*.md` — task-by-task reconciliation against the ~36 Blackbox Tests tasks in `done/` (some already touched by Step 12 Test-Spec Sync — see `tests/traceability-matrix.md` and `tests/resilience-tests.md` diffs).

The defense-in-depth software guard is a C12-side `flight_footer.clean_shutdown == True` check (read by `PostLandingUploadOrchestrator` from the post-flight FDR via `FdrFooterReader`); C11 itself no longer gates (Batch 44 SRP refactor). The companion is read-only against C6 in flight; both pre-flight tile fetching and post-landing tile upload happen on the operator workstation.
 5. **All persistent imagery is in `satellite-provider`'s on-disk tile format** (`./tiles/{zoomLevel}/{x}/{y}.jpg` + matching metadata) so post-landing upload is byte-identical. No raw frames on disk except the AC-8.5 forensic ≤0.1 Hz failed-tile thumbnail log inside FDR.

 ### ADR-002 — Build-time exclusion of unused `Strategy` implementations (D-C1-1-SUB-A = (a))
 
 **Context**: The architecture deliberately requires multiple interchangeable implementations per component (three `VioStrategy` for C1; multiple `VprStrategy` for C2; two FC adapters for C8). At runtime each binary uses exactly one of them per component. Linking *all* implementations into every binary would inflate binary size on the 8 GB shared Jetson, increase boot/load time inside the AC-NEW-1 ≤ 30 s p95 budget, expand the deployed dependency / attack surface, and create accidental-selection risk (a misconfigured runtime accidentally booting a non-deployment-default strategy). A single binary with all strategies present is also harder to reason about for the IT-12 comparative study, which deliberately wants the *opposite* — every strategy present and replayed against the same footage.

 The ADR-009 "interface, not concrete" rule has an architectural sibling: cross-component imports go through `_types/*.py` (DTOs + typed-error envelopes such as `_types.inference_errors`), never through `components.X (Public API)`. The only exception is `runtime_root/*` (the composition root), which is allowed to import concrete strategies across components precisely because it is the single place that resolves Protocol parameters to concrete classes. Every other module under `components/**/*.py` consumes cross-component contracts via (a) shared DTOs in `_types/*`, and (b) consumer-side structural `Protocol` cuts defined locally inside the consuming component (e.g. `c10_provisioning.engine_compiler.CompileEngineCallable` for the narrow `compile_engine` surface of the C7 InferenceRuntime). This is the same architectural property as constructor-injection-against-interface, applied to the import graph rather than the call graph. The AZ-270 `test_az270_compose_root.test_ac6_only_compose_root_imports_concrete_strategies` lint enforces this on every `components/**/*.py`; AZ-507 reconciles `module-layout.md` with the lint so the documentation and the build gate agree.
 
+#### Cycle-1 implementation: `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` + `pre_constructed` (AZ-591, AZ-618)
+
+Two cross-cutting Tier-1 mechanisms shipped inside `runtime_root/` during cycle 1 that the Plan-era ADR-009 sketch did not anticipate. Both are operational prerequisites for `compose_root()` reaching takeoff and are extensions of — not deviations from — the constructor-injection-against-interface rule above.
+
+1. **`_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` + `register_strategy(...)` API (AZ-591).** A module-level `dict[(component_slug, strategy_name)] → _Registration]` populated per-binary. The airborne entrypoint calls `runtime_root.airborne_bootstrap.register_airborne_strategies()` once at process start, which fills 7 strategy-selecting airborne component slots (`c1_vio`, `c2_vpr`, `c2_5_rerank`, `c3_matcher`, `c3_5_adhop`, `c4_pose`, `c5_state`) with `tier="airborne"`. Without this, `compose_root()` raises `StrategyNotLinkedError` on the first config-driven strategy lookup. The registry is the **runtime-side complement to ADR-002 build-time exclusion**: the build chooses which strategies are even available to register; the registry chooses which one this binary serves; the config chooses which registered slot to wire. A misconfigured runtime asking for an unlinked strategy still fails fast (`StrategyNotLinkedError` carries the offending strategy name + component slug + actually-linked alternatives — operator gets a clear next step). The `register_strategy` call site is restricted by lint (AZ-270): only the composition root or a binary-specific bootstrap module may call it; calls from component modules are an architecture violation.
+
+2. **`pre_constructed` kwarg + `build_pre_constructed(config)` (AZ-618 umbrella → subtasks AZ-619..AZ-624).** `compose_root(config, *, pre_constructed=...)` now accepts a dict of pre-built infrastructure objects keyed by documented strategy slug, consumed by the airborne wrapper factories registered in step 1. The airborne entrypoint builds these via `airborne_bootstrap.build_pre_constructed(config)` in 6 dependency-ordered phases:
+
+   | Phase | Slugs seeded | Notes |
+   |-------|--------------|-------|
+   | A (AZ-619) | `c13_fdr`, `clock` | `c13_fdr` is per-producer-cached; `clock` is fresh `WallClock` |
+   | B (AZ-620) | `c6_descriptor_index`, `c6_tile_store` | gated on `BUILD_FAISS_INDEX` per consumer |
+   | C (AZ-621) | `c7_inference` | gated on `BUILD_TENSORRT_RUNTIME` / `BUILD_PYTORCH_FP16_RUNTIME` |
+   | D (AZ-622) | `c3_lightglue_runtime`, `c3_feature_extractor` | LightGlue runtime reuses Phase C `c7_inference` engine (no double build); gated on `C3_MATCHER_BUILD_FLAGS[strategy]` |
+   | E (AZ-623) | `c282_ransac_filter`, `c5_imu_preintegrator`, `c5_se3_utils`, `c5_wgs_converter` | IMU preintegrator cached at module level keyed by camera-calibration path |
+   | E.5 (AZ-625) | `c5_isam2_graph_handle` (+ internal `_c5_prebuilt_estimator`) | eager `(StateEstimator, ISam2GraphHandle)` build so C4 receives the handle (C4 runs before C5 in topo order) and the C5 wrapper short-circuits without re-invoking the factory; gated on `C5_STATE_BUILD_FLAGS[strategy]` |
+   | F (AZ-624) | (no slot keys; wires `runtime_root.main()` and verifies AC-1..AC-5 end-to-end) | terminal phase |
+
+   The expected per-component dependency keys are documented in `airborne_bootstrap.AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS`. Missing keys raise `AirborneBootstrapError` with the missing-key name + the consuming component slug + the relevant gating `BUILD_*` flag, so the operator-facing error names exactly which build flag or which input is wrong. Tests stub by passing the same `pre_constructed=...` kwarg with mock objects; the bootstrap's caching makes two calls within a process return the same `c13_fdr` object (AC-619.2) without changing the contract. In replay mode (ADR-011), `compose_root` merges replay-built `frame_source` / `fc_adapter` / `clock` / `mavlink_transport` / `replay_sink` over `pre_constructed` so the replay branch's `TlogDerivedClock` correctly overrides the bootstrap's `WallClock`. AZ-687 added a guard for the minimal replay `Config` that omits strategy-component blocks — the bootstrap skips the `_build_c6_*` / `_build_c7_*` / `_build_c5_*` seeds when their component block is absent, since the corresponding wrappers do not run.
+
+Both additions sit inside `runtime_root/`; no component crosses the AZ-507 import boundary. They preserve every ADR-009 invariant — interface-first components, constructor-injected dependencies, single composition root, build-time-exclusion-as-architectural-property — and add the runtime mechanics needed to make a 12+ infrastructure-dependency graph wirable without losing fail-fast behaviour. `module-layout.md` § shared/runtime_root carries the file-level ownership; this section is the architectural rationale.
+
 ### ADR-010 — Operator-planned mission is the cold-start trust anchor; FC GPS is secondary
 
 **Context**: The original cold-start design (AZ-419 / FT-P-11) assumed the FC EKF's last valid GPS fix is available at takeoff to seed C5. Field reality contradicts this: a UAV operating in a contested-EW environment may have GPS jammed **before** takeoff (the jamming radius reaches the launch site, the unit launches under a jammer's umbrella, etc.). In that case the FC EKF has no GPS fix to give, and the companion has nothing to anchor the initial pose to — the entire downstream pipeline (VIO bootstrap, VPR retrieval scope, satellite anchoring) collapses or runs blind. At the same time, the parent suite already requires the operator to author a route in the **Mission Planner UI** (`suite/ui`) and persist it to the **`flights` REST service** (`suite/flights`) before any flight runs. The waypoint ordering is operationally meaningful: waypoint[0] is the planned takeoff point. The operator therefore already declares the takeoff position with operationally relevant accuracy (typically a few tens of metres) hours before launch, in a context that has no dependency on GPS at all. This information is the natural cold-start trust anchor.

Every key in the noise block is optional and independently defaulted, so partial blocks are honoured.
+- **BMI088-class defaults** (used when `imu_noise_model` is absent — bring-up + unit tests only; production deployments MUST supply a per-deployment noise model in `CameraCalibration.metadata`): `accel_noise_density=1.86e-3 m/s²/√Hz`, `gyro_noise_density=1.87e-4 rad/s/√Hz`, `accel_bias_rw=4.33e-4 m/s³/√Hz`, `gyro_bias_rw=2.66e-5 rad/s²/√Hz`, `integration_noise=1e-8`, `gravity_m_s2=9.80665`.
+- **`ImuPreintegrationError`** — single public exception type. Raised on (a) non-monotonic `sample.ts_ns`, (b) GTSAM's lower-level PIM rejection (wrapped, not propagated), (c) `current_preintegration()` / `reset_for_new_keyframe()` called with zero samples since last reset. Carries offending vs. previous `ts_ns` in its message so consumers can write FDR `kind="imu.skew"` events per AZ-276 Risk 2.
+- **Actual return type** of `current_preintegration()` and `reset_for_new_keyframe()` is `gtsam.PreintegratedCombinedMeasurements` (the PIM), not a constructed `CombinedImuFactor`. Consumers build the factor at attach time as `gtsam.CombinedImuFactor(*keys, pim)` — the helper cannot know the GTSAM keys. The `CombinedImuFactor` alias is still re-exported (so consumers do NOT import GTSAM directly), but it names the **type** the consumer constructs, not the helper's return value. Contract `imu_preintegrator.md` v1.0.0 still reflects the original "returns CombinedImuFactor" wording — a contract minor revision is queued for the next contracts-folder sweep.
+- **`reset_with_bias` is destructive in cycle-1** — it discards the partial integration accumulator (re-initialises the PIM with the new bias and a clean `last_ts_ns=None`). The contract's "subsequent samples only" wording is honoured at the new-window granularity: consumers MUST close the prior window via `reset_for_new_keyframe()` BEFORE changing bias if they want to retain its contribution.
+- **First-sample dt handling** — the first sample after a reset is recorded (`_last_ts_ns` updated, `_sample_count` incremented) but NOT integrated (GTSAM rejects `dt==0`). The second sample is the first integration call. This matters for AC-1 length counting: 100 samples ⇒ 99 GTSAM integrations.

Raised on (a) wrong array shape, (b) `dtype != float64`, (c) bottom row != `[0, 0, 0, 1]`, (d) rotation drift `‖R^TR − I‖_F > atol`, (e) negative-determinant rotation (mirror), (f) non-ndarray inputs. `matrix_to_se3` and `exp_map` raise this; `se3_to_matrix`, `log_map`, `adjoint` are no-throw on the typed input.
+- **Strict caller-orthogonalisation invariant** — the helper does NOT silently re-orthogonalise. AC-7 / `matrix_to_se3` always validates `‖R^TR − I‖_F ≤ atol` and rejects drift. Callers (C4 in particular, since `solvePnPRansac` output is not orthogonal to numerical precision) MUST run their own orthogonalisation (`cv2.Rodrigues` round-trip or `scipy.linalg.polar`) before calling `matrix_to_se3`. Default tolerance: `_DEFAULT_ROT_ATOL = 1e-6`; callers can pass a looser `atol` for relaxed contexts (none in cycle-1).
+- **`exp_map` near-identity fallback** — twist vectors with `‖xi‖ < _SMALL_ANGLE_THRESHOLD = 1e-10` return the identity `SE3()` instead of delegating to GTSAM's `Pose3.Expmap`. This guards against the `sin(theta)/theta` under-flow that surfaces when iSAM2's relinearisation produces a near-identity twist after a converged step.
+- **`is_valid_rotation(R_3x3, *, atol=1e-6)`** — predicate (no exception) for "is this matrix safe to feed to `matrix_to_se3`?".

+- **Concurrent-access guard is non-blocking** — the runtime owns a `threading.Lock` but never `.acquire(blocking=True)`. Concurrent entry raises `LightGlueConcurrentAccessError` immediately rather than serialising. This is intentional: if you see this exception, the composition root wired the runtime into more than one thread by mistake — fix the composition, do NOT add blocking serialisation.

+The shipped surface in `src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/sha256_sidecar.py` (AZ-280) is static-only by design. Atomicity comes from `atomicwrites.atomic_write` (temp-file → `os.replace`). All four entry points wrap `OSError` and `ValueError` into a single exception hierarchy.
+
+- **`Sha256SidecarError`** — single public exception type (subclasses `RuntimeError`). Raised on: `write_atomic` OS failure; `write_atomic_and_sidecar` sidecar OS failure; `verify` finds the sidecar missing for an existing payload; sidecar text not exactly 64 lowercase hex chars; `aggregate_hash` finds a missing or unreadable path.
+- **`SIDECAR_SUFFIX = ".sha256"`** — public module-level constant for callers (e.g. takeoff-load verifier listing) that need to spell the sidecar suffix without hard-coding it.
+- **Sidecar file format** — pure hex digest, no JSON wrapper, exactly 64 chars, all lowercase. The validator rejects uppercase or wrong-length sidecars hard (catches "user edited the sidecar by hand and broke it"). Keeps verification trivial.
+- **Sidecar path appends `.sha256` verbatim** — `Path.with_suffix` would re-interpret an existing extension; we explicitly use `Path(str(payload_path) + ".sha256")`. So `manifest` → `manifest.sha256` AND `engine.engine` → `engine.engine.sha256`. This is the AC-NEW-CACHE-3 / D-C10-3 invariant.
+- **Streaming digests** — `verify` and `aggregate_hash` stream the file in 1 MiB chunks (`_digest_file`) so an 8 GB engine file does not require 8 GB of RAM. `write_atomic` is the only entry point that operates on in-memory `bytes`.
+- **`verify` semantics** — returns `False` (not raise) when the payload path is missing entirely ("not verifiable" rather than "verification error"); raises `Sha256SidecarError` when the payload exists but the sidecar is missing, unreadable, or malformed. Callers can branch on `path.exists()` first if they need to distinguish missing-payload from corrupt-sidecar.
+- **`aggregate_hash` is byte-deterministic** — input list is sorted lexicographically by `str(path)` before hashing. The digest is computed over the concatenation of `<basename>\0<hex-digest>\n` lines (basename only, NOT full path, so the same physical file at a different mount point still produces the same aggregate). Missing paths in the input list raise instead of being silently skipped.

+- **Strict model-name validation** — `[a-z0-9_]+`, non-empty, ≤64 chars, no embedded `__` (reserved as the model/SM separator). Catches "operator typed a model name with a hyphen" before any filesystem operation runs.
+- **Strict version validation** — both `jetpack` and `trt` must match dotted `<major>.<minor>` (e.g. `"6.2"`, `"10.3"`). Patch components are deliberately NOT supported in the filename — the engine ABI is stable within `<major>.<minor>` per the JetPack/TRT release notes.
+- **`sm` validation** — must be a non-bool `int > 0`. Python's `bool ⊆ int` quirk would otherwise let `True` slip through as `sm=1`.
+- **`matches_host` ignores precision by design** — the filename's `precision` segment is informational for the host-match check. C7's `deserialize_engine` uses `matches_host` to filter "engines this host can run at all" before applying its own precision policy.

+The shipped surface in `src/gps_denied_onboard/helpers/ransac_filter.py` (AZ-282, extended via composition in AZ-623) is static-only and deterministic — `cv2.setRNGSeed(0)` is called immediately before every `cv2.findHomography(..., RANSAC)` so the same correspondences always produce the same inlier mask (AC-3 byte-equal determinism).
+
+- **`RansacFilterError`** — single public exception type (subclasses `ValueError`). Raised on: non-`ndarray` correspondences; wrong-shape correspondences (anything other than `(N, 4)`); non-positive `ransac_threshold_px`; negative `min_inliers`; fewer than 4 correspondences for `filter_correspondences` (homography needs ≥4); non-`(3, 3)` `K`; distortion not shape `(5,)` or `(8,)`; OpenCV exceptions are wrapped (`cv2.error` → `RansacFilterError`).
+- **`RansacResult` is a frozen `@dataclass`** — `inlier_correspondences: np.ndarray`, `inlier_count: int`, `outlier_count: int`, `median_residual_px: float`. The numpy array is NOT copied; consumers MUST treat it as read-only.
+- **Median, not mean** — both `filter_correspondences` (homography residual) and `compute_reprojection_residual` (post-pose residual) pin **median** as the residual statistic. This matches the contract for C3.5 (post-AdHoP residual gate) and C4 (per-frame FDR residual). Mean is more sensitive to remaining outliers and would defeat the gate.
+- **NaN residual for empty inliers** — both methods return `float("nan")` when the inlier set is empty. Consumers must NOT propagate `nan` as a numeric residual; treat it as "no residual computable" and fall back to the C3.5/C4 "matcher returned nothing useful" branch.
+- **`min_inliers` is INFORMATIONAL only** — passed to `filter_correspondences`, validated for non-negativity, but does NOT gate the result. The returned `RansacResult` always reflects the actual RANSAC outcome; callers decide whether `result.inlier_count >= min_inliers` is acceptable. This is the contract's "Min-inliers semantics" invariant — encoding the gate in the helper would conflate three separate component thresholds (C3 / C3.5 / C4).
+- **`filter_correspondences` residual** uses `cv2.perspectiveTransform` (the homography fit's own residual). `compute_reprojection_residual` uses `cv2.projectPoints` with the supplied pose, back-projecting image-a pixels through `K^{-1}` to `z=1` in camera-a frame. The two residuals are NOT interchangeable — one measures homography fit quality, the other measures pose fit quality.
+- **Imports `se3_utils`** — `from gps_denied_onboard.helpers.se3_utils import SE3, se3_to_matrix`. Layer 1 helper-on-helper import is allowed (both are Layer 1). The `SE3 = gtsam.Pose3` alias is the runtime pose type; `se3_to_matrix(pose)` extracts the 4×4 transform.

Both strategies appear in `_C5_STATE_STRATEGIES`; the `gtsam_isam2` flag defaults ON-when-unset and `eskf` defaults OFF-when-unset (mirrors `state_factory._STATE_BUILD_FLAGS`). Strategy registration is lazy: `_ensure_state_strategy_registered` imports the concrete module (`gtsam_isam2_estimator` or `eskf_baseline`) only when the configured strategy's `BUILD_STATE_*` flag is ON, so a binary configured for `eskf` never imports gtsam.

AZ-625 short-circuit: `build_pre_constructed` eagerly invokes `build_state_estimator` and stashes the `StateEstimator` under the private `_c5_prebuilt_estimator` key; `_c5_state_wrapper` returns the prebuilt instance so `c4_pose._isam2_handle` and `c5_state._isam2_handle` reference ONE object across the C4 / C5 seam (AC-625.3).

The two interfaces are bundled into C11 because they share auth (TLS + service-internal API key for download, per-flight onboard signing key for upload), HTTP client, network configuration, deployment unit (operator-tooling tarball), and the airborne-exclusion property — splitting them into two components would duplicate all of that.

There is no `c12_operator_orchestrator` slot in `_AIRBORNE_REGISTRATIONS`, no row in `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS`, and the airborne companion image's build target deliberately excludes the entire `c12_operator_orchestrator/` source tree (ADR-004 + Principle #9 process-level isolation). The CLI composes its dependencies via `runtime_root/c12_factory.py`, which exposes one builder per service and aggregates them into the immutable `OperatorOrchestratorServices` dataclass: `build_flights_api_client` (AZ-489, returns `HttpxFlightsApiClient` with TLS verify ON), `build_sector_classification_store` (AZ-326), `build_companion_bringup` (AZ-327, paramiko-based SSH with `ParamikoSshSessionFactory` + `RemoteSidecarVerifier`), `build_build_cache_orchestrator` (AZ-328, wraps `FilelockFileLockFactory` + `RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker` + a c11 `TileDownloaderCut` adapter), `build_post_landing_upload_orchestrator` (AZ-329, reads `LocalFdrFooterReader` and gates on `clean_shutdown=True` before invoking C11's `TileUploader`), and `build_operator_reloc_service` (AZ-330, the GCS-side `OperatorCommandTransport` producer). The `build_cache_orchestrator`, `post_landing_upload_orchestrator`, and `operator_reloc_service` fields default to `None` so CLI subcommands that don't need them short-circuit with `EXIT_OK` rather than fail — keeping AZ-326 / AZ-327 unit tests stable as later sibling tasks added service fields in-place. The AZ-507 cross-component cut keeps C12 from importing C10 or C11 directly: `RemoteCacheProvisionerInvoker` calls C10 over SSH, and `TileDownloaderCut` / `TileUploaderCut` adapters translate c11's real `DownloadRequest` / `UploadBatchReport` DTOs to the local cut DTOs the orchestrator consumes. AZ-687 replay-mode guard does not apply — C12 has no airborne footprint.
+
 **Upstream dependencies**:
 - Operator (human input — flight ID or flight file path, sector classification, calibration path).
 - `flights` REST service (parent-suite `suite/flights/`) — read via `FlightsApiClient` to fetch the operator-authored `Flight` (waypoints + altitudes); offline alternative is a local JSON export in the same DTO shape.

 **Architectural Pattern**: single concrete `FileFdrWriter` behind a `FdrWriter` interface. Single writer thread fed by lock-free in-process queues from every component. Lossy on writer-thread overrun **only by logging the rollover event**, never silently.
 
+**Cycle-1 operational reality**: C13 is **airborne infrastructure** seeded as the very first slot of `build_pre_constructed` — `constructed["c13_fdr"] = make_fdr_client(AIRBORNE_MAIN_PRODUCER_ID, config)` (AZ-619 Phase A, where `AIRBORNE_MAIN_PRODUCER_ID = "airborne_main"`). The `make_fdr_client(producer_id, config)` factory in `fdr_client/client.py` carries a process-level `_CACHE` keyed by `producer_id`, so any later `make_fdr_client("airborne_main", config)` call in the same process returns the SAME `FdrClient` instance — that's the AC-619.2 cross-component singleton guarantee. Per-component callers can also obtain their OWN per-producer FdrClient via `make_fdr_client("<their_slug>", config)`: C11 uses `"c11_tile_manager.signing_key"` (AZ-318) and `"c11_tile_manager.tile_uploader"` (AZ-319), C6's `freshness_gate.py` uses its own producer, etc. — each entry in the cache is a distinct `SpscRingBuffer` consumer side. Per-producer capacity comes from `config.fdr.per_producer_capacity[producer_id]` (override) or `config.fdr.queue_size` (default), rounded UP to the next power of two and clipped to `MIN_CAPACITY`. The drop-oldest overrun policy (AZ-274 `default_overrun_policy`) is wired automatically at `FdrClient` construction time; AZ-274 also routes the dropped record through the `on_overrun` hook so the rollover-log event is emitted exactly once per overrun, never silently. Required-key relationship: `c1_vio` and `c5_state` list `c13_fdr` in `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS` (missing raises `AirborneBootstrapError`); `c2_5_rerank`, `c3_matcher`, `c3_5_adhop`, and `c4_pose` read it via `constructed.get("c13_fdr")` (optional — silently passes `None` to the wrapper, which is the documented contract for "FDR off" test fixtures). AZ-687 replay-mode guard does NOT apply to C13: the slot is seeded unconditionally before any `_replay_omits_component_block(...)` check — a replay binary still writes FDR (TlogDerivedClock-stamped) so post-flight analysis tools can drain the queue.
+
 **Upstream dependencies**: every component publishes to C13 via in-process pub/sub (drop-oldest-with-rollover-log on overrun).

Carries **no internal flight-state gating** (Batch 44 SRP refactor — the post-landing safety check lives in C12's `PostLandingUploadOrchestrator`, which reads the `flight_footer.clean_shutdown` field).

+# Ripple Log — Cycle 1 (End-of-Cycle Documentation Sync)
+
+> Produced as part of greenfield Step 13 (Update Docs, document skill Task mode).
+> Source: `_docs/_autodev_state.md` (`cycle: 1`).
+> Date: 2026-05-19.
+
+## Why this ripple log is not a per-file enumeration
+
+The document skill's Task Step 0.5 normally walks each touched source file and adds the downstream importers to the refresh set. The conventional output is a one-line-per-affected-doc list:
+
+```
+- docs/components/02_ingestor.md — refreshed because src/ingestor/queue.py imports src/shared/serializer.py (changed by AZ-173)
+```
+
+That mode assumes an **incremental** task batch — typically 1–5 specs against an established codebase where most code is unchanged. Cycle 1 of this greenfield is the inverse: 165 done task specs across 14 components + 8 helpers + 18 contract surfaces + 9 system-level test docs, landed across 97 implementation batches between 2026-05-09 and 2026-05-17. Every component owns code that did not exist when the Plan baseline docs were written, and every cross-cutting helper has at least one consumer in every component.
+
+Computing the literal reverse-dependency set in this state produces "essentially every component imports essentially every helper, and every component is consumed by `runtime_root.compose_root`". The output would be ~30 doc rows all saying "refreshed because cycle 1 landed it". That is not actionable.
+
+## What the refresh set actually is for cycle 1
+
+The Task workflow's three update levels each have a different effective scope this cycle:
+
+| Update level | Effective scope this cycle | Status after this session |
+|--------------|----------------------------|---------------------------|
+| Task Step 1 — Module docs (`_docs/02_document/modules/`) | **N/A** — this project's Plan chose component-level granularity; no `modules/` folder exists. | No action. |
+| Task Step 2 — Component docs (`components/<NN>_<cN>/{description,tests}.md` + `common-helpers/*.md` + `contracts/*/*.md` + `tests/*.md`) | All 14 product components, all 8 helpers, all 18 contract subfolders, all 9 system-level test docs. ~50+ files. | **DEFERRED** — to a follow-up `/document` task pass in a fresh session (see "Documentation reconciliation still owed" in `FINAL_report.md` § Cycle 1 Implementation Status). |
+| Task Step 3 — System-level docs (`architecture.md`, `system-flows.md`, `data_model.md`, `glossary.md`, `module-layout.md`, `FINAL_report.md`) | Real cross-cutting drift: `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` + `pre_constructed` patterns (AZ-591, AZ-618), KltRansac-as-production-default (AZ-332/333 BLOCKED), opencv pin relaxation (D-CROSS-CVE-1 leftover). | **PARTIAL** — `FINAL_report.md` + `glossary.md` updated this session; `architecture.md` + `module-layout.md` + `system-flows.md` deferred. |
+| Task Step 4 — Problem-level docs (`_docs/00_problem/*`) | No cycle-1 task changed an AC, restriction, or input-data parameter that the problem-level docs encode. | No action; revisit only if the deferred Step 2 / Step 3 surfaces a contradiction. |
+
+## Files actually changed this session
+
+- `_docs/02_document/FINAL_report.md` — Decision 9 revised (OpenCV pin); new "Cycle 1 Implementation Status" section appended before Quality Checklist Verification, listing composition-root architecture additions (`_STRATEGY_REGISTRY`, `pre_constructed`), BLOCKED tasks AZ-332 + AZ-333 with parked Tier-2 follow-ups, Step 11 Run Tests results, dependency pin drift, and the deferred-doc list.
+- `_docs/02_document/glossary.md` — 5 new entries (alphabetical): `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY`, `airborne_bootstrap`, `KltRansac`, `pre_constructed`, `Tier-1 task / Tier-2 task`. Status line updated to note cycle-1 additions pending re-confirmation.
+- `_docs/02_document/ripple_log_cycle1.md` — this file (new).

+2. **C1 component refresh** — `components/01_c1_vio/description.md` should explicitly mark KltRansac as the cycle-1 production-default; reflect the Tier-2 status of OKVIS2 + VINS-Mono. **DONE** — uncommitted in working tree at handoff time; rolled into the cycle-1 doc-sync batch with C2/C2.5/C3.
+3. **Other 13 components + 8 helpers** — task-by-task reconciliation, batched ~3 components per session.
+   - **Batch 1 (this session, 2026-05-19)**: C2 (VPR), C2.5 (Rerank), C3 (Matcher) — cycle-1 reality paragraphs + OpenCV pin relaxation (where applicable) + C3 xfeat Tier-2 follow-up note. Source of truth crossed: `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py` (`_C*_STRATEGIES`, `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS`, `C3_MATCHER_BUILD_FLAGS`), `runtime_root/vpr_factory.py`, per-component `config.py`.
+   - **Remaining (10 components)**: C3.5 (AdHoP), C4 (Pose), C5 (StateEstimator), C6 (TileCache), C7 (Inference), C8 (FC adapter), C10 (Provisioning), C11 (TileManager), C12 (OperatorOrchestrator), C13 (FDR).
+   - **Helpers (8 files)**: `imu_preintegrator`, `se3_utils`, `lightglue_runtime`, `wgs_converter`, `sha256_sidecar`, `engine_filename_schema`, `ransac_filter`, `descriptor_normaliser`.
+4. **`tests/*.md`** — pick up cycle-1 deltas; Step 12 (Test-Spec Sync) already touched `traceability-matrix.md` and `resilience-tests.md` in the uncommitted working tree; the remaining test-doc surfaces (`blackbox-tests.md`, `performance-tests.md`, `resource-limit-tests.md`, `security-tests.md`, `tier2-jetson-testing.md`, `environment.md`, `test-data.md`) should be checked against the ~36 done Blackbox Tests task specs. **DONE** — 2026-05-19 session (autodev Step 13 phase 9 tests-doc-updates):
+   - **`environment.md`** — added § Harness Implementation Layout (47-evaluator `runner/helpers/` inventory, `runner/reporting/` CSV+evidence bundler from AZ-445/446, `fixtures/{injectors,sitl_replay,sitl_replay_builder}` layout, `e2e/jetson/` Tier-2 entrypoint); added § Replay-Mode Skip Gating (`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` + `sitl_replay_ready` marker from AZ-594/595/598/599); replaced raw-compose Tier-1 + Tier-2 examples with `e2e/docker/run-tier1.sh` + `e2e/jetson/run-tier2.sh` selector-parity wrappers (AZ-444 AC-1); aligned OpenCV pin reference to the cycle-1 `>=4.11.0.86,<4.12` floor with leftover cross-reference; fixed stale `tests/fixtures/` and `tests/runner` paths to `e2e/fixtures/` and `e2e/runner`.
+   - **`test-data.md`** — added rows for `sitl-replay-fixture-p01`, `sitl-replay-fixture-p02`, and `fc-proxy-schedule` (AZ-596/598/599); revised `cve-jpeg-fixture` row to reflect the relaxed cycle-1 OpenCV pin band with leftover cross-reference; added § Data Isolation paragraph for committed-fixture mode; fixed stale `tests/fixtures/` paths to `e2e/fixtures/`.
+   - **`security-tests.md`** — NFT-SEC-04 pin assertion + Pass Criteria updated to the cycle-1 relaxed band with leftover cross-reference; replay condition documented.
+   - **`ci_cd_pipeline.md`** (deployment doc — adjacent hygiene) — OpenCV pin-gate row revised to the relaxed band with replay condition.
+   - **Unchanged** — `blackbox-tests.md`, `performance-tests.md`, `resilience-tests.md`, `resource-limit-tests.md`, `tier2-jetson-testing.md`, `traceability-matrix.md`. Step 12 (Test-Spec Sync) already aligned these with implementation; no further gaps found against the ~50 done test task specs (AZ-406-446, AZ-594-600, AZ-618-619). `tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py` path references in `resilience-tests.md` + `tier2-jetson-testing.md` verified — file exists at that path at repo root, distinct from the `e2e/tests/` blackbox harness.
+
+The component-level pass (item 2 + 3) is the bulk of the work. Each component-batch session should re-read this ripple log + the relevant component description.md + the task specs in `_docs/02_tasks/done/AZ-*_<component>*.md` + the actual source in `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/<c>/`. Per-batch session pattern proven this cycle: read `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py` `_C*_STRATEGIES` + `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS` rows for each slug, cross-check against component `config.py` defaults, then add (a) a "Cycle-1 operational reality" paragraph in § 1 of `description.md`, (b) an OpenCV pin row in § 5 if the component imports `cv2`, (c) a "Cycle-1 Tier-2 follow-up dependencies" subsection in § 7 only when a strategy exists in code but is parked from the airborne registry.

+### Replay-Mode Skip Gating
+
+Several FT-* and FT-N-* scenarios rely on a pre-captured FDR-replay fixture instead of a live SITL run. When the `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` environment variable is unset, those scenarios skip cleanly via a `sitl_replay_ready` pytest marker (per AZ-594/595/598/599). To activate them:
+
+```bash
+E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR=e2e/fixtures/sitl_replay/p01 \
+    pytest e2e/tests/positive/test_ft_p_01_still_image_accuracy.py
+```
+
+The captured-fixture builder framework (`e2e/fixtures/sitl_replay_builder/`) regenerates these fixtures from `_docs/00_problem/input_data/` against a live compose stack; the captured artifacts are then committed under `e2e/fixtures/sitl_replay/<scenario>/`. See `e2e/fixtures/sitl_replay_builder/README.md` for the framework, supported scenarios, and per-scenario builder invocations.

+### NFT-RES-05: Composition-root bootstrap contract (replay-mode minimal config, operator-error contract, Tier-2 log boundary)
+
+**Summary**: Validates the airborne composition-root bootstrap contract introduced by AZ-591 / AZ-618 / AZ-687. Three sub-cases pin the cross-cycle plumbing that ALL Tier-1 and Tier-2 replay tests depend on:
+(a) replay-mode `build_pre_constructed(config)` succeeds without a `c6_tile_cache` config block (AZ-687 AC-687-1);
+(b) on a misconfigured airborne bootstrap, the SUT exits non-zero with stderr carrying the `airborne_bootstrap:` prefix, the consuming component slug, the missing infrastructure key or `BUILD_*` flag, and one actionable sentence (AZ-618 operator-facing-error-contract NFR + AC-4 non-success branch);
+(c) every successful Tier-2 replay run logs both `replay.compose_root.ready` and `replay.input.frame_emitted` to stdout (AZ-618 AC-5, AZ-687 AC-687-3).
+**Traces to**: AC-NEW-1 (precondition for cold-start TTFF), AC-4.1 (precondition for latency budget) — protects the assembly path every product-AC test relies on.
+
+**Preconditions**:
+- Tier-1 acceptable for sub-cases (a) and (b); sub-case (c) is Tier-2-only.
+- For (a): replay CLI invocation with a synthesized `Config` that has `mode == "replay"` and `components` that does NOT include a `c6_tile_cache` block. Public surface: `scripts/run_replay.sh` (or equivalent CLI entrypoint) pointed at `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/`.
+- For (b): minimal live-mode `Config` selecting a component strategy whose required `BUILD_*` flag is set to OFF in the environment (e.g. `c2_vpr.strategy="net_vlad"` with `BUILD_PYTORCH_FP16_RUNTIME=OFF`). No SUT internals are imported; the test reads stderr.
+- For (c): standard Tier-2 Jetson e2e replay invocation per `tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py` (AC-1, AC-2, AC-5, AC-6).
+
+**Fault injection** (sub-case b only): set the gating `BUILD_*` env var to `OFF` for a strategy that the config selects, then start the SUT.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+| Sub-case | Step | Consumer Action | Expected Behavior |
+|----------|------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| (a) replay minimal | 1 | Start SUT in replay mode against `derkachi-fixture`, with no `c6_tile_cache` block in the synthesized config | SUT process reaches the replay coordinator without exiting; stdout contains `replay.compose_root.ready` within 60 s |
+| (a) replay minimal | 2 | Observe at least one outbound frame emission | stdout contains at least one `replay.input.frame_emitted` log line within the same run |
+| (b) misconfig | 1 | Start SUT in live mode with a config that selects a strategy whose `BUILD_*` flag is OFF | SUT exits with `EXIT_GENERIC_FAILURE` (`1`) |
+| (b) misconfig | 2 | Read SUT stderr | stderr contains `airborne_bootstrap:` prefix AND the consuming component slug (e.g. `c2_vpr`) AND either the missing infrastructure key (e.g. `c7_inference`) or the gating `BUILD_*` flag name AND one actionable sentence (regex: `set \`BUILD_[A-Z0-9_]+\`` OR `ensure \`[a-z0-9_]+\.[a-z0-9_]+\` is`) |
+| (c) Tier-2 log boundary | 1 | Run `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py` (or its compose-bypass equivalent) | Each of AC-1 / AC-2 / AC-5 / AC-6 produces stdout that crosses both `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted` log boundaries |
+
+**Pass criteria**:
+- (a) Process does not exit during bootstrap; both boundary log lines appear within 60 s of process start.
+- (b) Exit code is `1`; stderr matches the four-field contract (prefix + component slug + missing key/flag + actionable sentence).
+- (c) Every AC sub-test in the Tier-2 invocation has both log lines in its captured stdout; batch report `Tier-2 evidence:` field references the terminal log path per `_docs/02_document/tests/tier2-jetson-testing.md`.
+
+**Duration**: ~3 min (Tier-1 sub-cases a+b combined); sub-case (c) is observed inside the existing Tier-2 e2e replay run, no separate duration.
+
+**Rationale**: This scenario formalizes the cross-cycle bootstrap invariant. The Tier-1 contract path bypasses `compose_root`'s registry-driven assembly via `replay_components_factory`, so without this test the failure modes AZ-687 caught (replay-mode `KeyError`) and AZ-618 caught (empty `pre_constructed`) regress silently — both were missed by the Tier-1 suite that was 3343/0 green at the moment of the Jetson rerun. See `_docs/02_document/tests/tier2-jetson-testing.md` § Rationale.

Follow-up filed as AZ-687 (2pt) under E-AZ-602 with guard at the bootstrap layer (NOT silent fallback in `_c6_config`). Earlier same-day mid-day after AZ-618 split: per the spec author's own Sizing-note recommendation + user-rule cap on PBI complexity, AZ-618 was split into 6 subtasks AZ-619..AZ-624 in Jira (subtasks of AZ-618; epic AZ-602 stays grandparent). AZ-618 retained at 0pt as the umbrella tracker; aggregate actionable work is 16pt across the subtasks (vs. AZ-618's original 5pt filing — author's "likely a true 8" caveat was understated due to c5_isam2_graph_handle ordering + GPU builder unknowns).

+# AZ-687 — build_pre_constructed must guard c6_descriptor_index when config.mode == 'replay'
+
+**Task**: AZ-687_pre_constructed_replay_mode_guard
+**Name**: build_pre_constructed must guard c6_descriptor_index when config.mode == 'replay'
+**Description**: Follow-up to AZ-618 (umbrella) surfaced by the 2026-05-19 Jetson Tier-2 e2e run. The newly-wired `build_pre_constructed` unconditionally seeds `c6_descriptor_index`, which reads `config.components["c6_tile_cache"]` via `storage_factory._c6_config`. In replay mode the CLI synthesizes a `Config` that does NOT include a `c6_tile_cache` block, so the call raises `KeyError`. The descriptor index is not consumed in replay mode (replay sources frames from the tlog + mp4 directly), so the fix is a replay-mode guard at the bootstrap layer — NOT a silent fallback in `_c6_config` (the docstring explicitly rejects that to keep import-time wiring honest).
+**Complexity**: 2 points
+**Dependencies**: AZ-619, AZ-620, AZ-624 (the c6 seed introduced by AZ-620 and wired by AZ-624 must already be in `done/` — they are, as of batch 96).
+**Component**: runtime_root (cross-cutting)
+**Tracker**: AZ-687
+**Epic**: AZ-602 (parent: AZ-618 umbrella; AZ-687 is a sibling follow-up under the same Epic)
+
+## Outcome
+
+- `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py::build_pre_constructed` (or its `_build_c6_descriptor_index` helper) guards the c6 descriptor index + c6 tile store seeds on `config.mode == "replay"`.
+- Equivalent guard applied to any other c6/c7/cN seed whose underlying `_cN_config` lookup fails on a replay-synthesized config AND whose result is not consumed by the replay path.
+- New unit test pins the replay-mode path; existing live-mode tests continue to assert every key in `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS` is populated.
+- Jetson Tier-2 e2e replay run crosses both `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted` log lines on AC-1, AC-2, AC-5, AC-6.
+
+## Scope
+
+### Included
+
+- Replay-mode guard inside `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py` covering the c6 descriptor index + c6 tile store seeds (and any other replay-irrelevant seed that currently relies on a config block the replay CLI does not synthesize).
+- New unit test under `tests/unit/runtime_root/` (e.g. `test_az687_pre_constructed_replay_mode.py`) that builds a replay-mode Config with no `c6_tile_cache` block and asserts `build_pre_constructed(config)` returns successfully.
+- Live-mode regression coverage: extend or assert against existing tests so they continue to require every documented key.
+- Re-run Jetson Tier-2 via `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh` (compose-bypass path documented in `_docs/03_implementation/run_tests_step11_report.md` Rerun 3 if companion/operator-orchestrator builds remain broken on the Jetson).
+- Batch report `Tier-2 evidence:` field populated per `_docs/02_document/tests/tier2-jetson-testing.md`.
+
+### Excluded
+
+- Any change to component factory signatures or per-component config schemas.
+- New `BUILD_*` env flags.
+- Operator-binary `pre_constructed` assembly (still explicitly deferred per AZ-591).
+- Fixing the operator-orchestrator Dockerfile build order (`pip install -e .` before `COPY src ./src`) — unrelated; this task uses the compose-bypass workaround.
+- AC-3 (camera calibration xfail) or AC-8 (mock-sat dep) — both have their own existing gates.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+**AC-687-1: replay-mode build_pre_constructed succeeds without c6_tile_cache block**
+Given a `Config` with `mode == "replay"` and `components` that do NOT include a `c6_tile_cache` block
+When `build_pre_constructed(config)` is called
+Then it returns without raising `KeyError`
+And the returned dict either omits `c6_descriptor_index` / `c6_tile_store` or maps them to a sentinel the consuming wrapper factories recognise as "not built for replay".
+
+**AC-687-2: live-mode build_pre_constructed continues to seed every required key**
+Given a `Config` with `mode == "live"` and the full default `components` block
+When `build_pre_constructed(config)` is called
+Then the returned dict contains every key in `set.union(*AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS.values())`
+And no key maps to `None`.
+
+**AC-687-3: Jetson Tier-2 e2e crosses both bootstrap log lines**
+Given AZ-687 is landed
+When `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py` is invoked (or its compose-bypass equivalent)
+Then AC-1, AC-2, AC-5, AC-6 each log `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted`
+And the batch report `Tier-2 evidence:` field captures terminal log path, JetPack version (6.2.2+b24), L4T (R36.5.0), and run timestamp.
+
+**AC-687-4: full Tier-1 pytest suite green**
+Given AZ-687 is landed
+When the full Tier-1 pytest suite is run
+Then 0 new failures appear (the existing pre-existing `c12_operator_orchestrator/test_cli_console_script.py::test_cold_start_under_500ms_p99` Mac-dev-host failure remains out of scope).
+
+## Constraints
+
+- MUST NOT change `_c6_config` to fall back silently — silent fallback was explicitly rejected per the existing docstring (the rationale: "if the package has not been imported, KeyError here is the right failure mode — silent fallback would mask a missing import"). The fix lives at the BUILD-PRE-CONSTRUCTED layer, not the storage_factory layer.
+- MUST NOT introduce new `BUILD_*` env flags.
+- MUST NOT touch per-component factory signatures.

+
+AZ-687 is a 2-point cross-cutting follow-up to AZ-618 (umbrella) surfaced by the 2026-05-19 Jetson Tier-2 e2e run captured under `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az618_tier2_run.txt`. AZ-624 (Phase F) wired `build_pre_constructed` into `runtime_root.main()`; the replay CLI then exercised that path on the Jetson and failed at `storage_factory._c6_config(config)` with `KeyError: 'c6_tile_cache'` because the minimal replay `Config` synthesized by `gps-denied-replay` does not register the strategy-component blocks (`c6_tile_cache`, `c7_inference`, `c5_state`) that BUILD-PRE-CONSTRUCTED reads. The fix lives at the BUILD-PRE-CONSTRUCTED layer (NOT at `_c6_config` — silent fallback there was explicitly rejected per its docstring): a single predicate `_replay_omits_component_block(config, block_name)` gates the three guarded seed groups. Live-mode behaviour is unchanged (the predicate returns False outside replay), and replay configs that DO populate the blocks (e.g. satellite-anchor verification replays) still build the seeds.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### Production
+
+- `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py`:
+  - Added `_replay_omits_component_block(config, block_name) -> bool` predicate. Returns `True` iff `config.mode == "replay"` AND `block_name not in config.components`. Returns `False` outside replay mode regardless of block presence — AC-687-2 is preserved structurally, not just by test.
+  - Guarded three seed groups inside `build_pre_constructed`, each behind `if not _replay_omits_component_block(config, "<block>")`:
+    - `c6_tile_cache` → skips `c6_descriptor_index` + `c6_tile_store` seeds.
+    - `c7_inference` → skips `c7_inference` + `c3_lightglue_runtime` seeds (the LightGlue runtime cascades on the InferenceRuntime).
+    - `c5_state` → skips the eager `(StateEstimator, ISam2GraphHandle)` pair build, leaving `c5_isam2_graph_handle` and the private `_c5_prebuilt_estimator` key absent.
+  - Extended `build_pre_constructed`'s docstring with the new "Replay-mode guard (AZ-687)" paragraph documenting which keys may be absent under the guard and why the per-component wrappers in `compose_root` are still safe (they only run for slugs actually in `config.components`).
+  - Inline comments at each guard site document the WHY (which wrappers consume the slot, why the skip is safe in replay).
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/unit/runtime_root/test_az687_pre_constructed_replay_mode.py` (NEW, 3 tests):
+  - `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_without_c6_block_does_not_raise_keyerror` — AC-687-1 primary: a replay-mode `Config()` with empty `components` exits `build_pre_constructed` cleanly; the five guarded keys are absent from the returned dict; the five guarded builders are NOT invoked (proven via per-builder invocation flags stubbed in via `monkeypatch`).
+  - `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_with_c6_block_present_still_builds_c6_seeds` — AC-687-1 inverse: a replay-mode `Config.with_blocks(c6_tile_cache=..., c7_inference=..., c5_state=...)` configures the blocks, so the guard does NOT fire; every guarded builder runs; every guarded key is seeded. This pins the predicate's semantics — replay mode alone is not a blanket opt-out, the BLOCK ABSENCE is what triggers the skip.
+  - `test_ac_687_2_live_mode_seeds_every_required_key` — AC-687-2 regression: a default-mode `Config()` exercises every guarded builder and seeds every key in `set.union(*AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS.values())`. The test asserts both "no key missing" and "no key None" — covers the AC-687-2 contract verbatim.
+
+### Reviews
+
+- `_docs/03_implementation/reviews/batch_97_review.md` (NEW) — code review report. Verdict: **PASS** (0 Critical / 0 High / 0 Medium / 0 Low findings). Phase walkthrough confirms SRP for `_replay_omits_component_block`, scope discipline (exactly two files touched), error-handling preservation (live-mode `KeyError` still surfaces), and architecture compliance (composition root owns the `config.mode` branch per ADR-001 / ADR-009).
+
+### Specs
+
+- `_docs/02_tasks/todo/AZ-687_pre_constructed_replay_mode_guard.md` → ARCHIVED to `_docs/02_tasks/done/` (committed in `9bdc868`).
+
+## AC Test Coverage
+
+4 ACs on the AZ-687 spec. Coverage:
+
+| AC | Coverage |
+|----|----------|
+| AC-687-1 (replay-mode build_pre_constructed succeeds without `c6_tile_cache` block) | `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_without_c6_block_does_not_raise_keyerror` (primary) + `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_with_c6_block_present_still_builds_c6_seeds` (inverse — pins the predicate) |
+| AC-687-2 (live-mode build_pre_constructed continues to seed every required key) | `test_ac_687_2_live_mode_seeds_every_required_key` |
+| AC-687-3 (Jetson Tier-2 e2e crosses `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted`) | **BLOCKED** — out-of-band hardware run via `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py`. Evidence destination: `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt`. To be collected by the operator. Same pattern as AZ-624 AC-5 and AZ-332/AZ-333's Tier-2 follow-ups. |
+| AC-687-4 (full Tier-1 pytest suite green) | Verified — see Test Run section. |
+
+## Test Run
+
+| Suite | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `tests/unit/runtime_root/test_az687_pre_constructed_replay_mode.py` (targeted) | 3 passed |
+| `tests/unit/` (full Tier-1 suite) | 2153 passed, 85 skipped, 1 deselected |
+
+The 1 deselected case is the pre-existing `c12_operator_orchestrator/test_cli_console_script.py::test_cold_start_under_500ms_p99` Mac-dev-host failure documented in batch 96 — unrelated to AZ-687 (the test lives in `c12_operator_orchestrator`, which AZ-687 does not touch). The 85 skips are all environment-gated (Docker for c6 Postgres tests, GPU/CUDA for c7 PyTorch FP16, TensorRT for c7 Tier-2, real Jetson for c7 engine_gate, large synthetic datasets gated behind `RUN_REPLAY_E2E=1`).
+
+Tier-1 suite count rose from 2150 (batch 96) to 2153 (batch 97) — exactly the 3 new AZ-687 tests.
+
+## Code Review
+
+- **Verdict**: PASS (0 Critical, 0 High, 0 Medium, 0 Low).
+- Zero auto-fix attempts; zero escalated findings.
+- Full report: `_docs/03_implementation/reviews/batch_97_review.md`.
+
+## Constraint Compliance (AZ-687 spec)
+
+- "MUST NOT change `_c6_config` to fall back silently" → `storage_factory._c6_config` is untouched in this batch. ✓
+- "MUST NOT introduce new `BUILD_*` env flags" → no new flags introduced. ✓
+- "MUST NOT touch per-component factory signatures" → no per-component factory signature change; `build_descriptor_index`, `build_tile_store`, `build_inference_runtime`, `build_state_estimator` all keep their existing kwargs. ✓
+- Scope discipline (per `.cursor/rules/coderule.mdc` "Scope discipline"): edits confined to `airborne_bootstrap.py` (the BUILD-PRE-CONSTRUCTED owner) plus a new test file under `tests/unit/runtime_root/`. No adjacent hygiene drift; no opportunistic refactors. ✓
+
+## Tracker
+
+- AZ-687 transitioned **In Progress → In Testing** in Jira at batch close (transition queried via `getTransitionsForJiraIssue` per the 2026-05-17 LESSONS entry — never hard-coded). Pending state is: AC-687-1, AC-687-2, AC-687-4 verified locally; AC-687-3 verification awaiting operator-supplied Jetson Tier-2 evidence file.
+
+## Loop Status
+
+- `_docs/02_tasks/todo/` is now empty after AZ-687 archived to `done/`. Two Tier-2 follow-up tasks remain in `backlog/`: AZ-592 (AZ-332 Tier-2 validation) and AZ-593 (AZ-333 Tier-2 validation) — both deferred per the Cycle-1 completeness gate's BLOCKED-with-Tier-2-handle terminal classification.
+- The Implement skill's batch loop has no remaining task files in `todo/`. Next action: the Product Implementation Completeness Gate (Step 15 of the implement skill) must be re-run to account for AZ-687 (BLOCKED-on-Tier-2-evidence classification, same precedent as AZ-332 + AZ-333) before Step 7 of the greenfield autodev can advance to Step 8 (Code Testability Revision).
+- **AC-687-3 BLOCKING note**: the operator must run `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py` (or its compose-bypass equivalent per `_docs/03_implementation/run_tests_step11_report.md` Rerun 3) and drop the terminal log under `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt`. The full Tier-2 e2e replay must cross both `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted` log lines on AC-1, AC-2, AC-5, AC-6 to clear the gate. Until the file exists, AZ-687's terminal classification stays "BLOCKED-on-Tier-2-evidence" and Step 7's completeness gate flags it as such — same lifecycle as AZ-624's AC-5.

+## Addendum — 2026-05-19 (post AZ-591, AZ-618 umbrella, AZ-687)
+
+This addendum re-runs the gate against the bootstrap work that landed
+between the 2026-05-16 verdict and 2026-05-19. The original `Gate
+decision (REVISED)` is preserved verbatim above; this section records
+what actually shipped and confirms Step 7 is now CLEARED to advance
+to Step 8 (Code Testability Revision).
+
+### What landed since 2026-05-16
+
+| Task | Title | Status | Batch | Notes |
+|------|-------|--------|-------|-------|
+| AZ-591 | compose_root per-binary bootstrap | Done | Batch 66 → archived | Lands `register_airborne_strategies()` plus per-strategy wrappers in `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py`. `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` is now populated for the airborne binary. Removes the original "compose_root cannot run" blocker. |
+| AZ-618 | airborne_bootstrap pre_constructed (umbrella) | Done | Batches 88–96 | Phases A–F (AZ-619, AZ-620, AZ-621, AZ-622, AZ-623, AZ-624) + Phase E.5 (AZ-625) all archived to `done/`. `build_pre_constructed` populates every key in `AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS`; `runtime_root.main()` wires it through `compose_root`. |
+| AZ-619 | Phase A — c13_fdr + clock seeds | Done | Batch 88 | First two seeds. |
+| AZ-620 | Phase B — c6 storage seeds | Done | Batch 90 | `c6_descriptor_index` + `c6_tile_store`. Reads `config.components["c6_tile_cache"]` — the read that AZ-687 later guards in replay mode. |
+| AZ-621 | Phase C — c7_inference seed | Done | Batch 92 | TensorRT FP16 / PyTorch FP16 gated by `C7_AIRBORNE_BUILD_FLAGS`. |
+| AZ-622 | Phase D — c3 LightGlue runtime + feature extractor | Done | Batch 93 | Cascades on `c7_inference`. |
+| AZ-623 | Phase E — RANSAC + c5 helpers | Done | Batch 94 | Four stateless / cached c5 helpers. |
+| AZ-625 | Phase E.5 — c5_isam2_graph_handle ordering | Done | Batch 95 | Eager `(estimator, handle)` build; private `_c5_prebuilt_estimator` look-aside key. |
+| AZ-624 | Phase F — wire `main()` | Done (AC-5 BLOCKED) | Batch 96 | `main()` now calls `register_airborne_strategies()` → `build_pre_constructed(config)` → `compose_root(config, pre_constructed=...)`. AC-1..AC-4 covered locally; **AC-5 BLOCKED on Jetson Tier-2 evidence**. |
+| AZ-687 | replay-mode guard for `build_pre_constructed` | Done (AC-687-3 BLOCKED) | Batch 97 | Cross-cutting follow-up surfaced by AZ-624's Jetson Tier-2 run (terminal log: `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az618_tier2_run.txt`). Adds `_replay_omits_component_block` predicate; guards 5 strategy-config-dependent seeds. AC-687-1 + AC-687-2 + AC-687-4 covered locally; **AC-687-3 BLOCKED on Jetson Tier-2 e2e re-run evidence**. |
+
+### Updated counts
+
+- **Tasks audited** (this gate's scope): 107 + AZ-591 + AZ-619..AZ-625 + AZ-687 = **116 product tasks** in `_docs/02_tasks/done/`.
+- **PASS**: 105 + 9 (AZ-591, AZ-619, AZ-620, AZ-621, AZ-622, AZ-623, AZ-624 local ACs, AZ-625, AZ-687 local ACs) = **114 PASS**.
+- **BLOCKED-with-named-Tier-2-handle**: AZ-332 → AZ-592 (backlog/); AZ-333 → AZ-593 (backlog/); AZ-624 (AC-5) and AZ-687 (AC-687-3) → out-of-band Jetson Tier-2 evidence files under `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/` (no Jira follow-up needed; the same physical run clears both ACs). **4 BLOCKED entries** total, 2 of which share a single hardware artifact.
+- **FAIL**: **0**.
+
+### Tier-2 evidence files outstanding
+
+These files live outside this dev host's reach. The operator must execute the Jetson Tier-2 run and drop terminal logs at the named paths. Until they land, the listed ACs carry BLOCKED-with-Tier-2-handle classification — they do NOT block Step 7 advancement (per the original gate's "BLOCKED-with-explicit-Tier-2-handle terminal classification" ruling).
+
+| File | Clears AC(s) | Status |
+|------|-------------|--------|
+| `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az618_tier2_run.txt` | AZ-624 AC-5 (and surfaced AZ-687's regression) | Present — captured the original `KeyError: 'c6_tile_cache'` failure that motivated AZ-687. |
+| `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt` | AZ-687 AC-687-3 (which transitively re-confirms AZ-624 AC-5 once the guard fix is in place) | Pending — must capture both `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted` log lines on AC-1, AC-2, AC-5, AC-6 of `tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py`. JetPack 6.2.2+b24, L4T R36.5.0. |
+
+### Revised Gate Decision
+
+Per the original gate's "BLOCKED-with-explicit-Tier-2-handle terminal classification" ruling (which applied to AZ-332 / AZ-333 → AZ-592 / AZ-593): Step 7 is CLEARED to advance.
+
+- AZ-591 has landed — the original "must land BEFORE Step 7 advances" precondition is satisfied. `compose_root()` can now reach takeoff on the airborne binary.
+- AZ-618 umbrella has landed — the cross-cutting `pre_constructed` infrastructure that the original gate did not anticipate is in place.
+- AZ-624's AC-5 and AZ-687's AC-687-3 are BLOCKED-with-Tier-2-handle — exactly the terminal classification the original gate permits.
+- AZ-687 itself is the regression fix for AC-5; once `2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt` lands and clears AC-687-3, both AZ-624 AC-5 and AZ-687 AC-687-3 close simultaneously.
+
+**State**: Step 7 (Implement) → **completed**. Auto-chain to Step 8 (Code Testability Revision) per the greenfield Auto-Chain Rules.
+
+The two Tier-2-evidence-pending blockers (AZ-624 AC-5, AZ-687 AC-687-3) are tracked outside the autodev's batch loop in this addendum and in `_docs/02_tasks/done/`'s task spec metadata; if either evidence file fails to materialize before Step 16 (Deploy), the deploy gate will reject the binary and the flow will rewind to Step 7 (Implement) with a fresh remediation batch. The same rewind escape hatch applies to AZ-592 / AZ-593 if their Tier-2 prerequisites unblock during a later cycle.
+
 End of report.

+# Code Review Report
+
+**Batch**: 97 — AZ-687 (`build_pre_constructed` replay-mode guard for c6 descriptor index)
+**Date**: 2026-05-19
+**Verdict**: PASS
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Task spec: `_docs/02_tasks/todo/AZ-687_pre_constructed_replay_mode_guard.md`
+- Changed files:
+  - `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py` (modified — helper added, three guarded conditionals around the existing seeds)
+  - `tests/unit/runtime_root/test_az687_pre_constructed_replay_mode.py` (new — three tests covering AC-687-1 + inverse + AC-687-2)
+- Project restrictions: `_docs/00_problem/restrictions.md` (re-read)
+- Solution overview: `_docs/01_solution/solution.md` (re-read)
+
+## Findings
+
+None.
+
+## Phase Walkthrough
+
+### Phase 1: Context Loading
+
+Spec read: AZ-687 is a 2-point cross-cutting task surfacing the `KeyError: 'c6_tile_cache'` regression from the AZ-618 Jetson Tier-2 e2e run on 2026-05-19. The guard belongs at the BUILD-PRE-CONSTRUCTED layer, not at `_c6_config` (the existing docstring rejects silent fallback there). Scope is precisely: `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py::build_pre_constructed` plus a new unit test under `tests/unit/runtime_root/`.
+
+### Phase 2: Spec Compliance
+
+| AC | Status | Test |
+|----|--------|------|
+| AC-687-1 (replay-mode without `c6_tile_cache` block does not raise; skipped slots absent from dict) | Satisfied | `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_without_c6_block_does_not_raise_keyerror` (asserts no KeyError; asserts the five guarded keys are absent; asserts builders not invoked) + `test_ac_687_1_replay_mode_with_c6_block_present_still_builds_c6_seeds` (inverse — guard is conditional on block absence, not just on mode) |
+| AC-687-2 (live-mode regression: every key in `set.union(*AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS.values())` still seeded; no key None) | Satisfied | `test_ac_687_2_live_mode_seeds_every_required_key` |
+| AC-687-3 (Jetson Tier-2 e2e replay crosses `replay.compose_root.ready` AND `replay.input.frame_emitted` on AC-1/AC-2/AC-5/AC-6) | Pending — out-of-band hardware run required. Will be collected by the user via `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh tests/e2e/replay/test_derkachi_1min.py`; evidence destination `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt`. |
+| AC-687-4 (full Tier-1 pytest suite green) | Satisfied — `pytest tests/unit/` reports 2153 passed, 85 skipped, 1 deselected (pre-existing `test_cold_start_under_500ms_p99` perf flake — operator-orchestrator CLI subprocess startup latency on busy dev macOS; not related to AZ-687). |
+
+Constraint compliance:
+
+- `_c6_config` untouched — silent fallback explicitly avoided.
+- No new `BUILD_*` env flags introduced.
+- No component factory signatures changed.
+- No per-component config schema changes.
+
+Scope discipline: implementation is exactly two files; no scope creep, no opportunistic refactors.
+
+### Phase 3: Code Quality
+
+- **SRP**: `_replay_omits_component_block` has one reason to change (the predicate's truth table). `build_pre_constructed` retains its existing responsibility; the conditionals are inline, not factored into a new function.
+- **Error handling**: no silent suppression. `KeyError` from `_c6_config` is still surfaced in any environment where the block is expected (live mode or replay-with-block).
+- **Naming**: `_replay_omits_component_block` reads as a complete sentence at the call site (`if not _replay_omits_component_block(config, "c6_tile_cache"): ...`). The single-line docstrings on each conditional block name the invariant the skip preserves.
+- **Complexity**: helper is 7 LOC (excluding docstring). `build_pre_constructed` grew by 3 `if` branches; cyclomatic complexity well under 10.
+- **DRY**: the predicate is shared across the three skip sites; the conditionals stay inline (a higher abstraction would obscure the per-seed semantics).
+- **Test quality**: tests assert specific behavior (which builders fired, which keys are present/absent), not just "no exception". `_stub_guarded_builders` returns a mutable invocation map so the assertions are precise.
+- **Dead code**: none.
+- **Comment discipline**: the inline comments document the WHY (why the skip is safe — wrappers gated on `config.components`), not the WHAT.
+
+### Phase 4: Security Quick-Scan
+
+No SQL, no subprocess, no `eval`/`exec`, no secrets, no new external inputs. Helper inspects `config.mode` (typed `Literal["live", "replay"]`) and `config.components` (typed `Mapping[str, Any]`); both are already validated by `Config.__post_init__`.
+
+### Phase 5: Performance Scan
+
+Helper is O(1): one attribute read + one dict membership check. No hot-path impact (bootstrap runs once per process). No N+1 risk, no unbounded fetch, no async-blocking.
+
+### Phase 6: Cross-Task Consistency
+
+Single-task batch; N/A.
+
+### Phase 7: Architecture Compliance
+
+- **Layer direction**: `runtime_root` is the composition root (ADR-001/ADR-009) — it MAY import concrete strategies across components. The change touches only the composition root and adds no new cross-component imports.
+- **Public API respect**: no new imports introduced.
+- **No new cyclic dependencies**: `_replay_omits_component_block` reads `Config` only via `getattr` + dict membership; no module-level imports added.
+- **Duplicate symbols**: `_replay_omits_component_block` is unique to `airborne_bootstrap.py`.
+- **Cross-cutting concerns not locally re-implemented**: the mode + block-presence predicate is a composition-root concern (the composition root is the only layer that owns the `config.mode` branch); placing it in `airborne_bootstrap.py` is correct per `_docs/02_document/module-layout.md` shared/runtime_root entry.
+
+Baseline delta: no `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` exists yet, so no delta is computed (baseline mode has not been run).
+
+## Verdict Justification
+
+Zero Critical / High findings (no Spec-Gap, no Bug, no Security, no Architecture violation). Zero Medium / Low findings. Verdict: **PASS** — no action required before commit.

+> (Update Docs); the operative CI contract is here.
+
+## Decision Record (cycle-1 scope)
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| CI platform | **Woodpecker CI** (suite-mandated) | The parent suite ships Woodpecker + Gitea Packages + Caddy TLS already; no greenfield CI tooling is added |
+| Pipeline layout | **Two-workflow contract** (`01-test.yml` + `02-build-push.yml`) | Suite contract per `../_infra/ci/README.md` → "Pipeline configuration — two-workflow contract" |
+| Test trigger (cycle-1) | **`event: [manual]` only** | The Tier-1 e2e harness (`docker-compose.test.yml` + `tests/e2e/Dockerfile`) is heavy (TensorRT-class pytorch fp16, gtsam, Postgres, Derkachi replay clip). Cycle-1 ships it as opt-in until amd64 agent availability and per-run wall-clock are characterised on the colocated arm64 Jetson agent. **Flip-back path**: change `event: [push, pull_request, manual]` and add `depends_on: [01-test]` to `02-build-push.yml`. |
+| Build-push gating (cycle-1) | **Un-gated** (no `depends_on: [01-test]`) | Mirrors the `detections` deferral pattern documented in `../_infra/ci/README.md` → "`detections` deferral". Build path proves out independently while the test path is manual-only. Re-gates when the test path flips to `[push, pull_request, manual]`. |
+| Images pushed (cycle-1) | `companion-tier1` + `operator-orchestrator` (two distinct registry repos) | `containerization.md` → Next Steps #4: "ship only `operator-orchestrator` + `companion-tier1` for the test path" until `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile` lands in next cycle |
+| Production-name tag reservation | **`azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` is RESERVED for `companion-jetson`** (next cycle) | The parent-suite Jetson compose's `gps-denied-onboard` service block (`../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml`) expects this exact tag. Pushing a Tier-1 dev build under it would mis-route Watchtower; cycle-1 uses explicit-suffix tags instead. |
+| Multi-arch matrix | **arm64 active; amd64 commented** | Matches the template default. Uncomment when the operator-orchestrator deploy target (amd64 workstations) becomes the canonical pull path. |
+| OCI labels | **`org.opencontainers.image.revision/created/source` + `ENV AZAION_REVISION`** | Suite-mandated per AZ-204 (`../_infra/ci/README.md` → "OCI image labels and commit provenance") |
+| Secrets | Suite-provisioned Woodpecker global secrets: `registry_host`, `registry_user`, `registry_token` | Provisioned by `../_infra/ci/install-woodpecker.sh`; this submodule consumes them via `from_secret:` references |
+
+## Pipeline Overview (cycle-1)
+
+| Stage | Trigger | Runner | Quality Gate |
+|-------|---------|--------|--------------|
+| **Test** (`01-test.yml`) | `event: [manual]` (cycle-1; flip to `[push, pull_request, manual]` when test budget is characterised) | arm64 agent (colocated Jetson; `labels: platform: arm64`) | `pytest -q /opt/tests/e2e/` exits 0 in the `e2e-runner` container; `--exit-code-from e2e-runner` enforces this at the compose layer |
+| **Build + Push** (`02-build-push.yml`) | `event: [push, manual]` on `branch: [dev, stage, main]` | arm64 agent (matrix entry; amd64 commented) | Both `companion-tier1` and `operator-orchestrator` builds succeed; both `docker push` succeed |
+
+There is no separate Lint stage in cycle-1: `ruff` and other linters are run pre-commit and inside the `e2e-runner` container's `pytest` invocation (test collection fails on import errors caused by lint-class issues). Adding an explicit lint stage is a cycle-2 polish item logged in §Future Work.
+
+There is no separate Security stage in cycle-1: `pip-audit`, OpenCV pin gate (per `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`), and Trivy image scan are owned by the `/security` skill (Step 14 of greenfield deploy was DONE; see `_docs/05_security/`) and run on operator invocation, not per-build. Adding them as a CI stage is a cycle-2 polish item.
+
+## Stage Details — Test (`01-test.yml`)
+
+**File**: `.woodpecker/01-test.yml`
+**Trigger (cycle-1)**: `event: [manual]` — run from the Woodpecker UI on demand
+**Runner**: arm64 agent (`labels: platform: arm64`)
+**Working directory**: repo root (the test compose lives at root, not under `e2e/`)
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. **`e2e`** — Brings up the full Tier-1 e2e stack via the existing `docker-compose.test.yml`:
+   ```
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up \
+       --abort-on-container-exit \
+       --exit-code-from e2e-runner \
+       --build
+   ```
+   - `--abort-on-container-exit` shuts the compose down the moment any service exits (a crashed `companion` or `mock-sat` surfaces immediately instead of hanging the runner waiting for `e2e-runner` to time out).
+   - `--exit-code-from e2e-runner` makes the pipeline exit code reflect pytest's result, not `companion`'s.
+   - `--build` rebuilds images if any source changed.
+   - The `e2e-runner` ENTRYPOINT is `pytest -q /opt/tests/e2e/` (see `tests/e2e/Dockerfile`); both `tests/e2e/replay/` (Reality Gate, gated by `RUN_REPLAY_E2E=1`) and any future `tests/e2e/scenarios/` are exercised.
+
+2. **`down`** — Always runs (`when: status: [success, failure]`), tears the compose down to release volumes and DB state:
+   ```
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml down -v
+   ```
+   `down -v` drops `db-data`, `fdr-data`, `tile-data` so the next run starts clean.
+
+**No report-artifact step in cycle-1**: `pytest -q` output goes to stdout (captured by Woodpecker). A CSV/JUnit report step is a cycle-2 polish item — would require adding `pytest-csv` or `--junit-xml` to the e2e-runner Dockerfile + a write-mount under `e2e/results/`.
+
+## Stage Details — Build + Push (`02-build-push.yml`)
+
+**File**: `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml`
+**Trigger**: `event: [push, manual]` on `branch: [dev, stage, main]`
+**`depends_on`**: **none** in cycle-1 (un-gated, per `detections` deferral pattern). Re-add `depends_on: [01-test]` when `01-test.yml` flips to push triggers.
+**Runner**: arm64 agent (matrix; amd64 commented)
+
+**Matrix block**:
+
+```yaml
+matrix:
+  include:
+    - PLATFORM: arm64
+      TAG_SUFFIX: arm
+    # - PLATFORM: amd64
+    #   TAG_SUFFIX: amd
+labels:
+  platform: ${PLATFORM}
+```
+
+Adding amd64 = one-line uncomment + ensuring the amd64 agent host has Docker access to the registry.
+
+**Steps** — two sequential `build-push` invocations (both must succeed for the workflow to pass):
+
+1. **`build-push-companion-tier1`** —
+   - Dockerfile: `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile` (4-stage, existing)
+   - Image: `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard-companion-tier1:${CI_COMMIT_BRANCH}-${TAG_SUFFIX}`
+   - OCI labels: `revision=$CI_COMMIT_SHA`, `created=<UTC RFC 3339>`, `source=$CI_REPO_URL`
+   - Build-arg: `CI_COMMIT_SHA=$CI_COMMIT_SHA` (Dockerfile reads into `ENV AZAION_REVISION`)
+
+2. **`build-push-operator-orchestrator`** —
+   - Dockerfile: `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile` (single-stage, existing)
+   - Image: `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard-operator-orchestrator:${CI_COMMIT_BRANCH}-${TAG_SUFFIX}`
+   - OCI labels + build-arg: same suite contract as above
+
+**Image NOT pushed**: `mock-suite-sat-service` (test fixture per `containerization.md`; not a production artefact).
+
+**Image NOT pushed in cycle-1, reserved for cycle-2**: `azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` — the parent-suite Jetson compose's `gps-denied-onboard` service block already references this exact tag. Cycle-2 (when `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile` lands) writes to it; cycle-1 must NOT, otherwise Watchtower on fielded Jetsons would pull a Tier-1 dev build under the production tag.
+
+## Registry Layout (cycle-1 → cycle-2)
+
+| Tag | Cycle-1 (today) | Cycle-2 (after `companion-jetson.Dockerfile` lands) |
+|-----|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------|
+| `azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` | **Not pushed** (reserved) | Built from `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile`; Watchtower-tracked by parent-suite Jetson compose |
+| `azaion/gps-denied-onboard-companion-tier1:<branch>-arm` | **Built + pushed** | Continues to be pushed (Tier-1 dev / CI image; consumed by `docker-compose.test.yml` and by CI agents that don't rebuild locally) |
+| `azaion/gps-denied-onboard-operator-orchestrator:<branch>-arm` | **Built + pushed** | Continues to be pushed; becomes Watchtower-tracked on operator workstations once that deploy target is wired (cycle-2 Step 4 / Environment Strategy follow-up) |
+| `azaion/gps-denied-onboard-companion-jetson:<arch>-arm` | n/a | **NOT used**: cycle-2 collapses companion-jetson onto the canonical `azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` tag (so the existing parent-suite Jetson compose works without edit) |
+
+## Caching Strategy
+
+| Cache | Mechanism (cycle-1) | Notes |
+|-------|---------------------|-------|
+| Docker layer cache | Host Docker daemon on the arm64 agent (shared via mounted `/var/run/docker.sock`) | Suite-standard: all build steps mount `/var/run/docker.sock` so the host daemon's layer cache survives across pipeline runs |
+| Python wheel cache (Tier-1 e2e) | Implicit via Docker layer cache on the `python-deps` stage | A persistent pip cache volume is a cycle-2 polish (would speed up first-run after `pyproject.toml` bumps) |
+| Replay-fixture (`_docs/00_problem/input_data/...`) | Bind-mount from repo checkout | The checkout is shallow per Woodpecker default; the Derkachi clip lives in the repo (committed), no LFS fetch needed |
+
+## Notifications
+
+Suite-default: build failure surfaces in the Woodpecker UI. Per-repo Slack / email integration is owned by the suite operator and applied at the Woodpecker server config layer (not per-repo); cycle-1 inherits the suite default. Adding a per-repo Slack channel is a follow-up logged in §Future Work.
+
+## Quality Gates — Coverage / Security
+
+Cycle-1 ships **without** an in-pipeline coverage gate or security scan. Both are owned by out-of-pipeline skills today:
+
+- **Coverage**: `pytest --cov` is available in the dev image but is not a CI gate yet. Adding `--cov-fail-under=75 --cov-fail-under=90` (safety-critical) is logged for cycle-2.
+- **Security (CVE / SBOM)**: `/security` skill already produced `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md` + per-area reports as part of greenfield Step 14. Re-running the scan in CI is a cycle-2 polish item — the rationale is that the dependency surface is small and changes infrequently, so out-of-pipeline `pip-audit` + `trivy image` is acceptable for cycle-1.
+
+The Plan-phase doc (`_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md`) describes a richer pipeline (lint / unit / integration / SBOM diff / security / Tier-2 NFTs). That document is the **architectural target**; this cycle-1 spec is the **operational reality** that the suite Woodpecker stack supports today. The two are reconciled in autodev's existing-code Step 13 (Update Docs).
+
+## Self-Verification
+
+- [x] Pipeline stages defined for cycle-1 with explicit triggers and gates
+- [x] Two-workflow contract honoured (`01-test.yml` + `02-build-push.yml`)
+- [x] OCI labels + `AZAION_REVISION` build-arg specified for both push stages (AZ-204)
+- [x] Multi-arch matrix block included (arm64 active, amd64 commented per template default)
+- [x] Suite global secrets (`registry_host`, `registry_user`, `registry_token`) referenced via `from_secret:`
+- [x] Cycle-1 vs cycle-2 tag separation explicit (production `azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` reserved for `companion-jetson`)
+- [x] Deferral rationale documented (manual-only test, un-gated build-push) with flip-back instructions
+- [x] Docker layer caching addressed (host daemon socket mount)
+- [ ] Coverage gate enforced in CI — **DEFERRED to cycle-2** (logged)
+- [ ] Security scanning in CI — **DEFERRED to cycle-2** (logged; out-of-pipeline scans exist today)
+- [ ] Multi-environment deployment (staging → production) — **N/A in cycle-1**; suite registry is the only deploy target. Cycle-2 wires environment promotion via branch-tag convention (`dev-arm` → `stage-arm` → `main-arm`)
+- [ ] Notifications channel configured — **DEFERRED**; inherits suite default
+
+## Future Work (cycle-2 polish)
+
+1. **Flip `01-test.yml` to `event: [push, pull_request, manual]`** once the per-run wall-clock on the arm64 agent is characterised (target: ≤ 15 min for the Reality Gate replay set). Re-add `depends_on: [01-test]` to `02-build-push.yml`.
+2. **Author `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile`** (containerization.md Next Steps #2) → add a third `build-push` step writing to `azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm`. Once this lands, the cycle-1 `companion-tier1` push may continue or be retired depending on whether dev workflows need a registry-served Tier-1 image.
+3. **Coordinate parent-suite Jetson compose edit** (containerization.md Next Steps #3) — add `fdr-data`, `tile-data`, `/run/azaion`, FC + camera device passthrough mounts to the `gps-denied-onboard` service block in `../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml`. Cross-submodule; record in `_docs/_process_leftovers/` if not editable in this cycle.
+4. **Reconcile Plan-phase CI doc** — rewrite `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` against this cycle-1 Woodpecker reality (or formally retain it as the architectural target with a "current state" pointer to this file). Owned by autodev's existing-code Step 13 (Update Docs).
+5. **In-pipeline lint stage** — add a `ruff check` + `mypy --strict` lane (parallel to `e2e`, before it) so lint failures gate `01-test.yml` at the cheap end.
+6. **In-pipeline coverage gate** — extend the `e2e-runner` ENTRYPOINT to `pytest --cov=src/gps_denied_onboard --cov-fail-under=75 --cov-report=xml:/results/coverage.xml -q /opt/tests/e2e/` + a `report` step publishing the XML.
+7. **In-pipeline security gate** — add `pip-audit` + `trivy image` steps; gate on the OpenCV pin per `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`.
+8. **Per-repo Slack notification** — wire the suite Slack channel (`#gps-denied-ci` per Plan-phase doc).
+9. **Tier-2 e2e on Jetson hardware** (NFT lane per Plan-phase doc) — separate Woodpecker pipeline or matrix entry once the Tier-2 runner availability is confirmed (deploy_status_report.md blocker #3, AZ-592 / AZ-593).

+
+## Containerization Stance
+
+| Tier | Production runtime | Image source |
+|------|--------------------|--------------|
+| Tier-1 (workstation dev + CI + replay) | Docker via `docker-compose.yml` / `docker-compose.test.yml` | This submodule (`docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile`, `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile`, `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile`) |
+| Tier-2 (Jetson Orin Nano Super production) | Docker via parent-suite `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` + Watchtower auto-update | This submodule's new `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile` (NEW under Option B) pushed to `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` |
+| Tier-2 (lab/research IT-12 binary) | Docker (same `companion-jetson.Dockerfile` with research strategy flags ON) or bare JetPack install via tarball | Optional separate image tag `:research-arm`; cycle-1 ships only the deployment binary path |
+
+Three architectural binary tracks (per ADR-002 + ADR-011) collapse onto
+**two production Docker images** in this plan:
+
+1. **`gps-denied-onboard` (airborne)** — `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile` for Tier-2 production + `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile` for Tier-1. Same Python module entrypoint (`python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.runtime_root`); runs both **live mode** and **replay mode** from a single image per ADR-011 — config (`config.mode = live | replay`) selects strategies at startup.
+2. **`gps-denied-operator-orchestrator`** — `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile` for the operator workstation (C10 + C11 + C12).
+
+Test fixtures (`mock-suite-sat-service`, `e2e-runner`) and test infrastructure (Tier-1 + Tier-2 runners) ship as separate non-deployable images. The research binary is a build-flag variant of the airborne image, not a separate Dockerfile.
+
+## ADR-005 Amendment (DRAFT — pending Step 12 / Update Docs sync)
+
+> Draft language for the architecture follow-up flagged in Step 1's
+> Cross-Cutting Decision. Lands in `architecture.md` ADR-005 (amendment)
+> or a new ADR-012 when Step 12 (Test-Spec Sync) / autodev's existing-code
+> Step 13 (Update Docs) picks this up. The current `architecture.md`
+> ADR-005 paragraph "Tier-2 (Jetson) does NOT use Docker" becomes
+> inconsistent with this plan and must be reconciled.
+
+> **Container scope (amended)**: Tier-1 uses Docker (`docker compose` for
+> the developer setup). **Tier-2 (Jetson production) ALSO uses Docker**,
+> via the parent-suite `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` +
+> Watchtower flow, with `runtime: nvidia` for GPU access and explicit
+> volume mounts for the TensorRT INT8 calibration cache
+> (`model-cache:/data/models`) and the C13 FDR ring
+> (`fdr-data:/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr`). The two technical concerns the
+> original ADR-005 cited — INT8 calibration cache stability and
+> `jetson-stats` thermal telemetry access — are addressed by (a) the
+> calibration cache living in a host-mounted volume that survives
+> container restarts and (b) `jetson-stats` accessed via the
+> nvidia-container-runtime's standard device passthrough (same pattern
+> the parent-suite `detections` service already uses successfully on the
+> same hardware). The deployment binary is the Docker image; the JetPack
+> 6.2 system image is the **host** OS, not the runtime layer.
+
+### Step 2 Validation Gates (BLOCKING — must pass before Step 3)
+
+If either of these gates fails, **fall back to Option A** (bare-JetPack
+systemd unit) and re-write this containerization plan:
+
+| Gate | What it validates | Pass criteria | Owner |
+|------|-------------------|---------------|-------|
+| **TensorRT INT8 cache durability under Docker** | Build a calibration cache inside the running container; restart the container; verify the cache is reused and inference output is byte-equivalent | SHA-256 of the calibration cache file before and after restart matches; first-frame inference timing post-restart is within 5% of pre-restart timing (cache hit) | C7 owner; runs against the `companion-jetson` image on the actual Tier-2 Jetson |
+| **`jetson-stats` thermal telemetry under Docker** | Run `jtop` (jetson-stats CLI) inside the container with `runtime: nvidia`; verify thermal + power + GPU clock readings match `sudo jtop` on the host within 1% | All thermal zones reported; CPU/GPU clock readings present; D-CROSS-LATENCY-1 hybrid trigger threshold readable | C7 / C5 owners; runs against the `companion-jetson` image |
+
+Both gates land as task tickets when Step 16 chains into the next-cycle
+existing-code flow (autodev resumes at existing-code Step 9 New Task per
+the Done state). They are **deferred to next cycle** and recorded here so
+they are not lost; the cycle-1 deploy plan ships Option B with the
+validation marked as "validation pending" in `deploy_status_report.md`.
+
+## Component-to-Image Mapping
+
+Per ADR-009, components are folders under `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/`. They are not separate processes / containers in this monolithic Python-with-C++-extensions architecture. The mapping below shows which component code paths each image links.
+
+| Image | Components linked | BUILD_* flags (defaults) |
+|-------|-------------------|---------------------------|
+| `companion-jetson` (Tier-2 prod) + `companion-tier1` (Tier-1 dev) | C1 (`KltRansac` default), C2 (`UltraVPR` default), C2.5, C3 (`DISK+LightGlue`), C3.5, C4, C5 (`GtsamIsam2`), C6, C7 (`tensorrt` on Tier-2, `pytorch_fp16` on Tier-1), C8 (per `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE`), C13 + replay strategies (`BUILD_VIDEO_FILE_FRAME_SOURCE=ON`, `BUILD_TLOG_REPLAY_ADAPTER=ON`, `BUILD_REPLAY_SINK_JSONL=ON`) | `BUILD_VINS_MONO=OFF`, `BUILD_SALAD=OFF`, `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER=OFF` (ADR-004 enforcement), `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY=OFF`, `BUILD_STATE_ESKF=OFF` |
+| `operator-orchestrator` (operator workstation) | C10, C11 (`TileDownloader` + `TileUploader`), C12 | `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER=ON` |
+| `mock-suite-sat-service` (test fixture) | NONE (FastAPI stub of the parent-suite `satellite-provider` D-PROJ-2 contract) | — |
+| `e2e-runner` Tier-1 (`tests/e2e/Dockerfile`) | Full SUT (editable install) + pytest entrypoint | Test profile defaults |
+| `e2e-runner` Tier-2 (`tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson`) | Full SUT (editable install) + pytest entrypoint; `dustynv/l4t-pytorch:r36.4.0` base | Test profile defaults |
+
+## Per-Image Dockerfile Specifications
+
+### `companion-jetson` — **NEW under Option B**
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| File | `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile` (new in next cycle's Step 7 — Implementation; this plan specifies the contents) |
+| Base image | `dustynv/l4t-pytorch:r36.4.0` (digest-pinned per suite follow-up #1) — same base proven by `tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson` |
+| Stages | (1) system-deps (apt: `build-essential`, `cmake`, `libpq-dev`, `libspatialindex-dev`, `libgl1`, `libglib2.0-0`) → (2) python-deps (`pip install -e ".[inference]"` with the Tegra-tuned torch preserved per the existing Tier-2 e2e Dockerfile rationale) → (3) cpp-build (CMake build of the native VIO / matcher extensions with `BUILD_VINS_MONO=OFF`, `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER=OFF`) → (4) runtime (slim image carrying the venv + native libs + SUT source) |
+| User | `gps-denied` non-root uid 10001 (companion does not need root inside the container; volume mounts owned by the same uid on the host) |
+| Build args | `CI_COMMIT_SHA` (suite-mandated; stamped as OCI labels + `ENV AZAION_REVISION`); `BRANCH` (carried into image labels) |
+| OCI labels | `org.opencontainers.image.revision=$CI_COMMIT_SHA`, `org.opencontainers.image.created=<UTC RFC 3339>`, `org.opencontainers.image.source=$CI_REPO_URL` (suite-mandated per `../_infra/ci/README.md` → "OCI image labels and commit provenance (AZ-204)") |
+| ENV | `AZAION_SERVICE=gps-denied-onboard`, `AZAION_REVISION=$CI_COMMIT_SHA`, `PYTHONPATH=/opt/gps-denied/src`, `PATH=/opt/venv/bin:$PATH` |
+| Health check | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` — `--interval=10s --timeout=3s --start-period=30s --retries=3` (longer start-period than Tier-1 because TensorRT engine deserialize takes seconds on Jetson) |
+| Exposed ports | `8080` (HTTP healthz + future replay-mode JSONL stream socket; mapped to host `5040:8080` per parent-suite compose). MAVLink + camera I/O is **not** TCP — it is host-bound (`/dev/ttyUSB*`, `/dev/video*`) via device passthrough. |
+| Volume mounts (declared in parent-suite compose) | `model-cache:/data/models` (TensorRT engines + calibration cache + descriptor index); `fdr-data:/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr` (C13 ring, ≥ 64 GB); `tile-data:/var/lib/gps-denied/tiles` (C6 filesystem store, ≥ 10 GB); `/run/azaion:/run/azaion` (flight-state flag, read-only); device passthrough for `/dev/ttyUSB*` (FC UART) + `/dev/video*` (nav camera) |
+| Watchtower labels | `com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true` + post-update hook emitting `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` per suite `x-update-logger` template |
+| ENTRYPOINT | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.runtime_root` (same as Tier-1) |
+| Flight-state gate | Honoured via `/run/azaion/in-flight` bind mount — Watchtower restart hook MUST check the flag before restarting (suite-managed; the image itself only honors the flag when transitioning between strategies at boot — there is no in-process restart logic) |
+
+### `companion-tier1` (existing — `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile`)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Base image | `ubuntu:22.04` (system-deps stage) → `ubuntu:22.04` (runtime) |
+| Stages | 4 (`system-deps` → `python-deps` → `cpp-build` → `runtime`) — already documented in the file header |
+| User | Currently root (acceptable for Tier-1 dev / CI containers — Tier-2 production hardens this in `companion-jetson`) |
+| Health check | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` — `--interval=10s --timeout=3s --start-period=15s --retries=3` |
+| Exposed ports | None (Tier-1 healthcheck is in-process; CI exposes nothing) |
+| Notes | **No change required for cycle-1.** Next cycle: add `BRANCH` + `CI_COMMIT_SHA` build args + OCI labels for parity with `companion-jetson`. |
+
+### `operator-orchestrator` (existing — `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile`)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Base image | `python:3.10-slim` |
+| Stages | 1 (`runtime`) — single-stage is acceptable here because the operator-orchestrator has no native C++ extensions and the slim base keeps it lean |
+| User | Currently root — same Tier-1 caveat as `companion-tier1` |
+| Health check | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` — `--interval=10s --timeout=3s --start-period=10s --retries=3` |
+| Exposed ports | TBD (next cycle adds the C12 CLI's HTTP control surface for the operator UI; today the CLI runs as a one-shot invocation) |
+| Notes | **No change required for cycle-1.** |
+
+### `mock-suite-sat-service` (existing — `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile`)
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Base image | `python:3.10-slim` |
+| User | Currently root — acceptable, this is an e2e test fixture only |
+| Health check | `urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:5100/healthz')` — `--interval=5s --timeout=2s --retries=3` |
+| Exposed ports | `5100` (HTTP) |
+| Notes | **Not a production image.** Retired when parent-suite D-PROJ-2 ships the real ingest endpoint. |
+
+### `e2e-runner` Tier-1 (existing — `tests/e2e/Dockerfile`)
+
+Test runner for the Reality Gate on Colima / Tier-1 workstation Docker. Not a production image. ENTRYPOINT: `pytest -q /opt/tests/e2e/`. **No change for cycle-1.**
+
+### `e2e-runner` Tier-2 (existing — `tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson`)
+
+Test runner for the Reality Gate on the Jetson. `dustynv/l4t-pytorch:r36.4.0` base. The new `companion-jetson` production image inherits its base image choice and Tegra-pip rationale from this file. **No change for cycle-1.**
+
+## Docker Compose — Local Development (existing `docker-compose.yml`)
+
+The existing root `docker-compose.yml` already covers Tier-1 dev: `companion` + `operator-orchestrator` + `mock-sat` + `db` (Postgres 16), with healthchecks, named volumes (`db-data`, `fdr-data`, `tile-data`), and a `tests/fixtures:/fixtures:ro` bind mount for the dev calibration JSON + signing key.
+
+**No structural change required.** Optional cycle-2 polish:
+
+- Add a `network: gps-denied-dev` declaration (currently relies on Docker Compose's default network) so the suite-level e2e harness can join it explicitly when needed.
+- Reference `${BRANCH:-main}` for image tags so the dev compose can pull from the suite registry instead of always building.
+
+## Docker Compose — Blackbox Tests (existing)
+
+| File | Purpose | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `docker-compose.test.yml` | Tier-1 e2e (Replay + Reality Gate); sets `BUILD_VIDEO_FILE_FRAME_SOURCE=ON`, `BUILD_TLOG_REPLAY_ADAPTER=ON`, `BUILD_REPLAY_SINK_JSONL=ON` | ✅ working |
+| `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` | Tier-2 e2e on Jetson; same flags ON | ✅ working |
+| `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml` | Suite-level e2e harness's internal compose | ✅ owned by the e2e harness |
+| `e2e/docker/docker-compose.tier2-bridge.yml` | Tier-2 host-network bridge for direct hardware access | ✅ in tree |

+docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up --build --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from e2e-runner
+
+# Tier-2 e2e (manual / Tier-2 lane):
+docker compose -f docker-compose.test.jetson.yml up --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from e2e-runner
+```
+
+The exit code of the `e2e-runner` service is the pipeline result. This contract matches the suite's `detections` e2e variant verbatim.
+
+## Docker Compose — Tier-2 Production (parent-suite, NOT in this submodule)
+
+This submodule does **not** ship a Tier-2 production compose file. The Tier-2 production stack is `../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` (already shipping). This submodule contributes:
+
+1. The published image at `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm` (via `companion-jetson.Dockerfile` + the upcoming `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml`).
+2. The healthcheck endpoint (`python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck`).
+3. The flight-state gate honour (`/run/azaion/in-flight` bind mount in the suite compose — read by the image at boot).
+4. The audit chain — OCI labels + `AZAION_REVISION` env + Watchtower post-update hook emitting `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` to journald.
+
+**Cross-cutting suggestion logged but not actioned in cycle-1**: the parent-suite Jetson compose's `gps-denied-onboard` service block is minimal (no volume mounts beyond `model-cache`). Under Option B, it needs the additional mounts listed in the `companion-jetson` Dockerfile table above (`fdr-data`, `tile-data`, `/run/azaion`, FC + camera device passthrough). This is a **parent-suite edit** that the GPS-Denied Onboard team must coordinate with the suite operator — recorded in Next Steps below.
+
+## Image Tagging Strategy (Suite-Mandated)
+
+| Context | Tag Format | Example |
+|---------|-----------|---------|
+| Per-PR CI (test only, not pushed) | n/a | n/a |
+| Per-branch CI build-push | `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-<arch>` | `git.azaion.com/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:dev-arm` |
+| Release | `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-<arch>` (suite uses floating branch tags + Watchtower; semver is not used at suite level today) | `git.azaion.com/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:main-arm` |
+| Local dev | Image name without registry prefix | `gps-denied-onboard/companion:dev` (current local compose), `gps-denied-onboard/operator-orchestrator:dev`, `gps-denied-onboard/mock-suite-sat-service:dev` |
+
+**No `:latest` tag in CI.** Suite contract is `<branch>-<arch>` only; Watchtower polls these floating tags.
+
+## .dockerignore (existing — audit + recommended addenda)
+
+The current `.dockerignore` (33 lines, root) covers `.git`, `.venv`, build artefacts, `*.engine` / `*.calib` / `*.index` / `*.faiss` / `*.onnx`, large test fixtures, `_docs/`, and editor noise. **Adequate for cycle-1.** Recommended next-cycle additions (logged here, not applied):
+
+```
+# Next-cycle additions to .dockerignore (not applied in cycle-1)
+.cursor/              # rules + skills do not belong in any image
+_docs/                # already excluded — keep
+docker-compose*.yml   # don't accidentally ship dev compose into the production image
+e2e/                  # test harness compose + fixtures stay out of production images
+tests/                # test code stays out of production images (currently NOT excluded)
+*.md                  # README / docs — not needed at runtime
+```
+
+Note: `tests/` is currently NOT in `.dockerignore`, which is **intentional for cycle-1** — the e2e-runner images (`tests/e2e/Dockerfile`, `tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson`) COPY `tests/` into the image. Splitting `.dockerignore` per-image (via Docker's `dockerfile:` field on `.dockerignore` is BuildKit-only) is a next-cycle refactor.
+
+## Health Checks — Inventory
+
+| Image | Endpoint / Command | Cadence |
+|-------|---------------------|---------|
+| `companion-tier1`, `companion-jetson`, `operator-orchestrator` | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` (the module already exists per the existing Dockerfiles) | `--interval=10s --timeout=3s --start-period={15,30,10}s --retries=3` |
+| `mock-suite-sat-service` | HTTP GET `/healthz` on port 5100 | `--interval=5s --timeout=2s --retries=3` |
+| `db` (Postgres 16, suite-managed under Tier-2; root compose for Tier-1) | `pg_isready -U gps_denied -d gps_denied` | `--interval=5s --timeout=3s --retries=10` |

+2. **Author `docker/companion-jetson.Dockerfile`** — implementation task for the next cycle (existing-code Step 9 New Task → Step 10 Implement). Will be one of the first follow-up tickets when autodev's Done step reroutes to the existing-code flow.
+3. **Coordinate parent-suite edit** — `../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` `gps-denied-onboard` service block needs the additional volume mounts (`fdr-data`, `tile-data`, `/run/azaion`, FC + camera device passthrough). This is a cross-submodule change tracked as a follow-up; record in `_docs/_process_leftovers/` if not editable in this cycle.
+4. **Proceed to Step 3 (CI/CD pipeline)** — author `.woodpecker/01-test.yml` (Python `pytest` + Tier-1 e2e via existing `docker-compose.test.yml`) + `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` (multi-arch matrix, `companion-jetson.Dockerfile` once it lands; until then, ship only `operator-orchestrator` + `companion-tier1` for the test path). Rewrite `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` against the actual Woodpecker + Gitea Packages stack per suite `../_infra/ci/README.md`.

+# GPS-Denied Onboard — Deployment Scripts
+
+> Generated by `/autodev` greenfield Step 16 (Deploy) — Step 7. Five
+> bash scripts under `scripts/` automate the procedures in
+> `deployment_procedures.md`. Step 7 is the only step in the deploy
+> skill that produces executable artefacts; all five scripts honour the
+> `/run/azaion/in-flight` flight-state gate documented in Step 6.
+
+## Overview
+
+| Script | Purpose | Location |
+|--------|---------|----------|
+| `deploy.sh` | Main orchestrator (pull → flight-state-check → stop → start → health); `--rollback` flag restores the previous image set | `scripts/deploy.sh` |
+| `pull-images.sh` | Pull images from `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-<arch>` (suite Gitea Packages registry) | `scripts/pull-images.sh` |
+| `start-services.sh` | `docker compose up -d`; waits for HEALTHCHECK; emits `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` via journald | `scripts/start-services.sh` |
+| `stop-services.sh` | Graceful `docker compose down`; saves current image digests to `.previous-tags.env` for rollback | `scripts/stop-services.sh` |
+| `health-check.sh` | Reads Docker HEALTHCHECK status across the stack (no HTTP endpoint — NFT-SEC-05) | `scripts/health-check.sh` |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker + Docker Compose v2 installed on the target host (Tier-1 workstation, lab Jetson, airborne Jetson, or operator workstation).
+- For remote operation: SSH access to the target via `DEPLOY_HOST` env var (same pattern as `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh` uses).
+- Registry credentials: `REGISTRY_HOST` + `REGISTRY_USER` + `REGISTRY_TOKEN` (suite-provisioned Woodpecker global secrets per `../_infra/ci/README.md`). Loaded from `.env` at the repo root or passed via the environment.
+- `.env` file populated from `.env.example`. See `environment_strategy.md` § Environment Variables for per-environment guidance.
+
+## Environment Variables Consumed
+
+All scripts source `.env` from the project root if present. The deploy-side variables consumed (beyond the ones already documented in `.env.example`):
+
+| Variable | Required by | Purpose |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `REGISTRY_HOST` | `pull-images.sh`, `deploy.sh` | Suite Gitea Packages registry hostname (e.g. `git.azaion.com`) |
+| `REGISTRY_USER` | `pull-images.sh` | Registry user (Woodpecker global secret on CI; operator credentials locally) |
+| `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | `pull-images.sh` | Registry token (matches Woodpecker global secret); passed to `docker login --password-stdin` |
+| `DEPLOY_HOST` | All (remote mode) | SSH alias / `user@host` for remote execution. Unset = local execution. |
+| `AIRBORNE_COMPOSE_FILE` | `start-services.sh`, `stop-services.sh`, `health-check.sh` (when `--target=airborne`) | Override the default airborne compose path (`/etc/gps-denied/docker-compose.airborne.yml`) |
+| `AZAION_REVISION` | `start-services.sh` (for the audit `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` line) | Inherited from the image's `ENV AZAION_REVISION=$CI_COMMIT_SHA` per AZ-204 |
+| `BRANCH`, `ARCH` | `pull-images.sh`, `deploy.sh` | Tag selector (defaults: `main`, `arm`) |
+| `WAIT_SECS` | `start-services.sh`, `deploy.sh` | HEALTHCHECK wait budget (default: 120 s) |
+
+`.previous-tags.env` is written at the project root by `stop-services.sh` and is git-ignored (added to `.gitignore` in this step).
+
+## Targets
+
+Every script accepts `--target <dev|airborne|operator-workstation>` and picks a sensible compose file by default:
+
+| `--target` | Default compose file | Purpose |
+|------------|----------------------|---------|
+| `dev` | `docker-compose.yml` | Tier-1 workstation Docker (developer + CI) |
+| `operator-workstation` | `docker-compose.yml` (reused; operator workstation runs only `operator-orchestrator` + `db`) | Operator deploy of `operator-orchestrator`. Cycle-2 may add a dedicated `docker-compose.operator.yml` that excludes the `companion` service. |
+| `airborne` | `${AIRBORNE_COMPOSE_FILE:-/etc/gps-denied/docker-compose.airborne.yml}` | Tier-2 airborne Jetson. Cycle-1 ships no compose file at this path — Watchtower drives updates via the parent-suite `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml`. The scripts are still usable for manual cycle-1 operator-issued cycle/restart on the bench Jetson by passing `--compose-file ./docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` or pointing `AIRBORNE_COMPOSE_FILE` at the parent-suite compose. |
+
+## Script Details
+
+### `deploy.sh`
+
+Main orchestrator. Runs:
+
+1. `pull-images.sh --target <target> --branch <branch> --arch <arch>` (skipped on `--rollback`)
+2. Flight-state check (in-band — invokes `stop-services.sh` which performs the actual `/run/azaion/in-flight` probe)
+3. `stop-services.sh --target <target>` (also writes `.previous-tags.env`)
+4. `start-services.sh --target <target> --wait-secs <N>`
+5. `health-check.sh --target <target>`
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+scripts/deploy.sh [--target dev|airborne|operator-workstation]
+                  [--branch <branch>] [--arch <arch>]
+                  [--compose-file <path>]
+                  [--wait-secs N]
+                  [--rollback] [--force] [--help]
+```
+
+**Rollback**: when `--rollback` is passed, `deploy.sh` reads `.previous-tags.env` (written by the most recent `stop-services.sh` run), `docker pull`s each saved image digest, then proceeds with the stop → start → health pipeline. Cycle-1 does not retag — the operator owns the registry-side tag promotion per `deployment_procedures.md` § Rollback Procedures.
+
+**Force flag** (`--force`): bypasses the `/run/azaion/in-flight` safety gate. **Never pass during a live flight** — this is an emergency escape hatch for stuck flag scenarios (e.g. autopilot service died holding the flag).
+
+### `pull-images.sh`
+
+Pulls the cycle-1 image set from the suite registry. Cycle-2 will pick up the airborne `companion-jetson` image automatically when `--target=airborne` is selected (the image name template is already coded for it).
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+scripts/pull-images.sh [--branch <branch>] [--arch <arch>]
+                       [--target dev|airborne|operator-workstation]
+                       [--verify] [--help]
+```
+
+**`--verify`**: after pull, prints each image's RepoDigest + `AZAION_REVISION` env var (per the OCI labels mandated by AZ-204).
+
+### `start-services.sh`
+
+`docker compose up -d --remove-orphans`. Polls `docker compose ps --format` until every service that declares a HEALTHCHECK reports `healthy` (default budget: 120 s). On success, emits a structured `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` line via journald (`logger -t gps-denied-onboard -p user.notice`).
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+scripts/start-services.sh [--target dev|airborne|operator-workstation]
+                          [--compose-file <path>]
+                          [--wait-secs N] [--force] [--help]
+```
+
+**Refuses to start the airborne stack when `/run/azaion/in-flight` is set** (unless `--force` is passed) — this matches `deployment_procedures.md` § Deployment Strategy "ground-only safety gate".
+
+### `stop-services.sh`
+
+Graceful `docker compose down --remove-orphans`. The companion's stop sequence is governed by Docker's default 10 s grace period in cycle-1; cycle-2 adds `stop_grace_period: 30s` to the `companion` service block (see `deployment_procedures.md` § Graceful Shutdown — Cycle-1 status).
+
+Before stopping, writes the current image set to `.previous-tags.env` in the repo root:
+
+```
+# Saved by scripts/stop-services.sh on 2026-05-20T05:54:00Z
+# Used by deploy.sh --rollback to restore the previous image set.
+# Service tag layout: PREV_<SERVICE>_IMAGE=<repo>@<sha256-digest>
+PREV_COMPANION_IMAGE=gps-denied-onboard/companion@sha256:abc…
+PREV_OPERATOR_ORCHESTRATOR_IMAGE=gps-denied-onboard/operator-orchestrator@sha256:def…
+PREV_MOCK_SAT_IMAGE=gps-denied-onboard/mock-suite-sat-service@sha256:…
+PREV_DB_IMAGE=postgres@sha256:…
+```
+
+**Refuses to stop the airborne stack when `/run/azaion/in-flight` is set** (unless `--force` is passed).
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+scripts/stop-services.sh [--target dev|airborne|operator-workstation]
+                         [--compose-file <path>] [--force] [--help]
+```
+
+### `health-check.sh`
+
+Reads Docker HEALTHCHECK status across the stack via `docker compose ps --format '{{.Service}}\t{{.State}}\t{{.Health}}'`. No HTTP endpoints (NFT-SEC-05 — the companion has no inbound listener).
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+scripts/health-check.sh [--target dev|airborne|operator-workstation]
+                        [--compose-file <path>] [--help]
+```
+
+**Exit codes**:
+- `0` — all services healthy (or running with no declared HEALTHCHECK, which is the case for services that intentionally have none, e.g. `mock-sat` in test profiles where the HEALTHCHECK is declared elsewhere).
+- `1` — at least one service is `running` but `unhealthy`.
+- `2` — at least one service is not `running` (exited, dead, or never started).
+
+## Common Properties
+
+All five scripts:
+
+- `#!/usr/bin/env bash` + `set -euo pipefail`.
+- Support `--help` / `-h` (heredoc-based usage block — robust to source-line reordering).
+- Source `.env` from the project root if present (`set -a` / `set +a` around the source so the variables are exported into the script's environment + subprocesses).
+- Support **remote execution** via `DEPLOY_HOST=<ssh-alias>` env var. When set, every docker command is run via `ssh ${DEPLOY_HOST}`. The pre-flight SSH check uses `-o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=5` (same pattern as `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh`).
+- Are **idempotent** for the running-stack case: `start-services.sh` is safe to re-run on an already-healthy stack; `stop-services.sh` is safe to re-run on an already-stopped stack; `pull-images.sh` is safe to re-run (docker will report "Image is up to date").
+- Exit codes are stable per script (documented in each script's `--help` and at the top of this document).
+
+## Local Smoke Test (Tier-1 dev)
+
+After authoring, the operator can smoke-test the full chain on a Tier-1 workstation:
+
+```bash
+# Reset
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml down -v
+
+# Manual pipeline (does what deploy.sh does, step by step)
+scripts/pull-images.sh --target dev --branch dev --arch arm     # optional in dev; the dev compose builds locally
+scripts/start-services.sh --target dev --wait-secs 180          # gives 3 min for pip / cmake on first build
+scripts/health-check.sh --target dev                            # exit 0 when companion + operator-orchestrator + db + mock-sat are healthy
+scripts/stop-services.sh --target dev                           # writes .previous-tags.env
+```
+
+A `docker compose ps` between each step verifies the expected service state. Cycle-2 will add an automated smoke test under `tests/e2e/scripts/` that runs this sequence on a CI-clean host.

+## Cycle-2 Polish (logged, not implemented in cycle-1)
+
+1. **`stop_grace_period: 30s`** on the `companion` service in `docker-compose.yml` + the parent-suite Jetson compose, once the Step 2 BLOCKING gate "TensorRT INT8 cache durability under Docker" measures the actual drain budget on Tier-2 hardware (`deployment_procedures.md` § Graceful Shutdown — Cycle-1 status).
+2. **`docker-compose.operator.yml`** — operator-only compose that excludes the `companion` service so `--target=operator-workstation` doesn't pull / start the airborne binary at all.
+3. **Tag-rotation helper** — `scripts/promote-tag.sh <sha> <branch>` that retags the registry-side `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-arm` for production rollouts. Cycle-1 keeps this operator-manual.
+4. **`scripts/post-flight-pull.sh`** — pulls FDR segments from the airborne Jetson to the operator workstation and runs `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.post_flight.summarise` (per `observability.md` § Flight Analytics).
+5. **CI-clean smoke test** — `tests/e2e/scripts/test_deploy_pipeline.sh` exercising `pull → start → health → stop → rollback` against a clean Docker host (gated by `RUN_DEPLOY_E2E=1`).
+6. **Watchtower post-update hook on the operator workstation** — cycle-2 may add a Watchtower instance on the operator workstation that polls the suite registry and applies updates automatically. Cycle-1 leaves the operator workstation on the `scripts/deploy.sh` operator-driven path.

+# GPS-Denied Onboard — Deployment Procedures
+
+> Generated by `/autodev` greenfield Step 16 (Deploy) — Step 6. Builds on
+> Step 1–5 (`reports/deploy_status_report.md`, `containerization.md`,
+> `ci_cd_pipeline.md`, `environment_strategy.md`, `observability.md`). The
+> deploy skill's standard procedure template (load-balanced HTTP service

+> workstation, ground-only updates, FC-managed in-flight failsafe, and the
+> parent-suite Watchtower flow with a flight-state gate.
+
+## Deployment Strategy
+
+### Pattern: **Floating-tag pull-on-ground (Watchtower-managed)**
+
+| Aspect | Choice | Rationale |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| Update mechanism (airborne Jetson) | Parent-suite Watchtower polls `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:main-arm`; pulls + restarts when SHA changes | Suite-mandated pattern per `../_infra/deploy/jetson/README.md`. The fielded Jetson stack has Watchtower already running, polling all 9 application services on the same cadence. |
+| Update mechanism (operator workstation) | Operator runs `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` from `scripts/start-services.sh` | The operator workstation is single-user; cycle-1 does not need automatic updates. Cycle-2 may add a Watchtower instance on the workstation. |
+| Update mechanism (lab Jetson — staging) | Same as airborne (Watchtower polling `dev-arm` or `stage-arm`) | Mirrors airborne so the bench rig validates the exact same update path. |
+| Blue-green / rolling / canary | **None of the above** — N=1 instance per role | The airborne side has one Jetson per aircraft (no fleet); the operator workstation has one instance per operator. There is no load-balanced replicate to roll over. |
+| Zero-downtime requirement | **Not applicable in flight**; ground-only | Flights are discrete + bounded; the FC handles in-flight failsafe (AC-FC-FAILSAFE-1) if the companion is unavailable mid-flight. Updates do not happen during flight. |
+| Ground-only safety gate | `/run/azaion/in-flight` flag (parent-suite `autopilot` service writes it on arm/disarm) | **Watchtower's post-update hook MUST refuse to restart the `gps-denied-onboard` container when this flag is set.** Honoured at the suite-compose layer, not in this submodule's image (the image only honours the flag at boot when transitioning between strategies). |
+| Multi-aircraft rollout | Tag-based per-aircraft (operator can pin `:rev-<sha>-arm` instead of `:main-arm`) | Floating tag is the default; explicit SHA pinning is the manual override. Suite operator owns per-aircraft pinning. |
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+The companion has **no inbound HTTP connections** (NFT-SEC-05 in-flight egress lockdown). "Graceful shutdown" means: drain in-flight FDR writes, flush the C13 segment, emit `flight_footer`, close MAVLink connection cleanly.
+
+| Step | Action | Owner |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | systemd / Docker sends `SIGTERM` to PID 1 (`python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.runtime_root`) | OS layer |
+| 2 | Runtime root sets the global `shutting_down` flag; all per-frame producers stop enqueuing new FDR records | runtime root |
+| 3 | C13 writer drains the FDR SPSC ring (≤ 200 ms target — bounded by ring depth + writer throughput) | C13 |
+| 4 | C13 emits `flight_footer` with `clean_shutdown=true`, `records_written`, `records_dropped_overrun`, `bytes_written`, `rollover_count` | C13 |
+| 5 | C13 closes the active segment file (fsync, rename `.tmp` → final) | C13 |
+| 6 | C8 sends final MAVLink `STATUSTEXT` and closes the FC serial connection | C8 |
+| 7 | Process exits 0 | runtime root |
+
+**Termination grace period (target)**: 30 seconds for the above sequence. If exceeded, Docker / systemd sends `SIGKILL`; `flight_footer.clean_shutdown` will be `false` on the next boot's recovery write, flagging the unclean shutdown for the post-flight summary.
+
+**Cycle-1 status**: docker-compose.yml does **not** yet declare `stop_grace_period: 30s` — cycle-1 inherits Docker's default 10 s grace. The C13 ring drain target (≤ 200 ms) fits comfortably inside 10 s for the dev profile, but TensorRT engine teardown + gtsam factor cleanup on Tier-2 hardware are not yet measured. **Cycle-2 follow-up** (recorded in `_docs/_process_leftovers/` when this deploy plan lands): add `stop_grace_period: 30s` to the `companion` service in `docker-compose.yml` and to the `gps-denied-onboard` service in the parent-suite `../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` once the Step 2 validation gate "TensorRT INT8 cache durability under Docker" (`containerization.md` § Step 2 Validation Gates) measures the actual drain budget on the Jetson.
+
+### Database Migration Ordering
+
+Cycle-1 ships **no migration runner** — C6 bootstrap uses idempotent `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`. Cycle-2+ rules (from `environment_strategy.md` § Migration Rules):
+

+
+## Health Checks
+
+The companion has no HTTP `/health/live` or `/health/ready` endpoint (NFT-SEC-05). The Docker `HEALTHCHECK` is an **exec check** that re-runs the startup validation matrix (`environment_strategy.md` § Variable Validation) and inspects in-process liveness signals.
+
+| Check | Type | Command / mechanism | Interval | Failure threshold | Action |
+|-------|------|----------------------|----------|--------------------|--------|
+| Liveness / Readiness | `HEALTHCHECK` exec | `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` | 10 s (companion-tier1 / operator-orchestrator); 10 s (companion-jetson, with `--start-period=30s` for TensorRT engine deserialise) | 3 consecutive failures → Docker marks container `unhealthy` → systemd / Watchtower restarts | Same as readiness — no load balancer to drain. Watchtower honours `/run/azaion/in-flight` before restarting. |
+| Startup probe | Same exec | Same command | 5 s once `--start-period` elapses | 30 attempts max | Kill + recreate; Watchtower retries the pull on next poll |
+| FC adapter health (in-flight) | C8 watchdog from the FC | MAVLink heartbeat loss > 1 s | n/a — handled by the FC | FC drops to `SAFE_DEAD_RECKONING` or `RTL` per AC-FC-FAILSAFE-1 |
+| FDR ring liveness | `shared.fdr_client` overrun monitor | Producer enqueue failure | n/a — emits `kind="overrun"` record (AC-NEW-3); never silent | Post-flight forensics surface; no in-flight action |
+| `db` Postgres health (operator workstation + dev compose) | `pg_isready -U gps_denied -d gps_denied` | 5 s | 10 failures | Docker / systemd restart the `db` service; the companion's healthcheck fails until DB is back |
+| `mock-suite-sat-service` health (Tier-1 e2e only) | HTTP GET `/healthz` on port 5100 | 5 s | 3 failures | Compose marks unhealthy; e2e-runner `--exit-code-from e2e-runner` surfaces failure |
+
+### `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` contract
+
+The healthcheck module (already exists per `containerization.md`) re-runs:
+
+1. **Required env vars validation** — same set as the composition root, but read-only (no side effects).
+2. **C6 DB reachability** — `psycopg2.connect(DB_URL) → SELECT 1`.
+3. **C13 FDR mount writability** — `os.access(FDR_PATH, os.W_OK)` + a probe write to a `.healthcheck` file.
+4. **C7 backend availability** — for `INFERENCE_BACKEND=tensorrt`, validates the engine cache directory exists + is readable; for `pytorch_fp16`, no extra check (libtorch in-process).
+5. **C8 FC adapter** — best-effort: attempts a non-blocking serial open if `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE` is set + the device path is present. Absent device path is not a failure (dev / CI containers).
+
+Exit codes: `0` healthy; `1` config-invalid; `2` dependency-unreachable; `3` resource-bound (e.g. FDR full). Docker treats any non-zero as `unhealthy`.
+
+## Staging Deployment (lab Jetson HITL)
+
+Treat the lab Jetson as a **mirror of production** for image promotion. Operator runs the procedure manually; cycle-2 may automate via the suite.
+
+1. **CI/CD** has already built + pushed `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard-companion-tier1:dev-arm` + `…-operator-orchestrator:dev-arm` via `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` (cycle-1) or `companion-jetson:dev-arm` via cycle-2.
+2. **Verify the flag** — `cat /run/azaion/in-flight` should be empty / absent on the lab Jetson (no live FC there). If a HITL session is running, wait for the bench session to end.
+3. **Pull the new image** — `scripts/pull-images.sh dev` (Step 7). Watchtower may have already pulled if running on the lab Jetson.
+4. **Restart the service** — `scripts/start-services.sh dev` (Step 7). Honours stop-grace-period; waits for HEALTHCHECK to report healthy.
+5. **Run the HITL e2e suite** — `docker compose -f docker-compose.test.jetson.yml up --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from e2e-runner --build`. This runs the **Reality Gate** replay (Derkachi clip + recorded tlog) against the new image on Tier-2 hardware.
+6. **Verify FDR output** — `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.post_flight.summarise --segment /var/lib/gps-denied/fdr/segment-*.fdr` (cycle-1 ad-hoc tool; cycle-2 polish lands the full replay viewer). Confirm `flight_footer.clean_shutdown == true` and `records_dropped_overrun == 0`.
+7. **If gates pass** → promote: tag `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<sha>-arm` (or repurpose by branch promotion from `dev-arm` → `stage-arm` once cycle-2 wires environment branches per `ci_cd_pipeline.md` Quality Gates `Multi-environment deployment` row).
+8. **If gates fail** → file a Jira issue under E-DEPLOY; roll back the lab Jetson per § Rollback Procedures.
+
+## Production Deployment (airborne Jetson + operator workstation)
+
+Production deployment lands on each aircraft individually + on each operator workstation. The aircraft side is Watchtower-driven; the operator workstation side is operator-driven.
+
+### Pre-deploy checks (operator-owned)
+
+- [ ] **CI gates green** — `01-test.yml` passed on the target branch (cycle-1: manual trigger; cycle-2: push gate).
+- [ ] **Security scan recent** — `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md` re-validated against the build SHA. The OpenCV pin per `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md` is honoured.
+- [ ] **HITL gate passed** — Staging deployment § 5–6 confirmed `clean_shutdown=true` and `records_dropped_overrun=0`.
+- [ ] **Per-aircraft acceptance** — operator confirms the build's strategy flags (`BUILD_VINS_MONO`, `BUILD_SALAD`, `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER`, replay flags, `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY=OFF`) match the operational profile for the destination aircraft.
+- [ ] **Calibration JSON onboard** — `/etc/gps-denied/calibration/adti20.json` (operator-acquired per D-PROJ-1) is staged on the aircraft Jetson NVM.
+- [ ] **Signing key path provisioned** — `MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY` resolves to a per-host writable path that `KeySource` will rotate at takeoff; no static key from `tests/fixtures/`.
+- [ ] **Postgres credentials in `/etc/gps-denied/.pgpass`** — per-host random password (Step 7 `start-services.sh` writes this on first run).
+- [ ] **`/run/azaion/in-flight` is clear** — no live flight in progress on the target aircraft.
+- [ ] **Rollback target identified** — previous successful SHA recorded for the target aircraft (operator notebook + `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` on the Jetson).
+- [ ] **Stakeholders notified** — flight operator + suite operator informed of the deploy window.
+
+### Production Deployment — Airborne Jetson (Watchtower-driven)
+
+1. **Tag promotion** — operator pushes the validated SHA to `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:main-arm` (or per-aircraft SHA pin if rolling out partial fleet).
+2. **Wait for Watchtower poll** — default poll interval per suite config (typically ≤ 5 min).
+3. **Watchtower pre-restart check** — Watchtower's post-update hook checks `/run/azaion/in-flight`; if set, defers the restart until the next poll.
+4. **Container stop** — Docker sends `SIGTERM`; companion drains FDR (≤ 200 ms target) + emits `flight_footer` per § Graceful Shutdown. Exit must complete within 30 s grace period.
+5. **Image pull complete** — Watchtower pulls the new image (already verified-by-tag; OCI labels embed the SHA).
+6. **Container start** — Docker starts the new container; `HEALTHCHECK` `--start-period=30s` allows TensorRT engine deserialise + Postgres reconnect.
+7. **Audit event emitted** — Watchtower's post-update hook emits `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` to journald (`observability.md` § Deploy Audit).
+8. **Verify on the aircraft** — operator runs `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT --since 10min` on the Jetson; confirms the new revision SHA matches the intended tag.
+9. **Run a ground HITL pre-flight** — operator brings up the bench-mounted aircraft, runs the standard pre-flight checklist (FC heartbeat, signing handshake, camera focus, NFT-SEC-04 image-decode smoke). Pre-flight refusal-to-arm on any gate failure is the production safety net.
+10. **Monitor the first flight** — operator watches QGroundControl for STATUSTEXT messages from the companion + the `GpsDeniedHealth` MAVLink message stream during the first flight under the new image.
+11. **Post-flight forensics** — after landing, operator pulls FDR segments + runs `post_flight.summarise`; confirms no regression vs the previous-SHA baseline (NFT-PERF gates per `_docs/02_document/tests/` baselines).
+
+### Production Deployment — Operator Workstation (operator-driven)
+
+1. **Pre-deploy checks** — same checklist as above, scoped to the operator-orchestrator image.
+2. **Pull** — operator runs `scripts/pull-images.sh main` (Step 7).
+3. **Stop** — `scripts/stop-services.sh` (Step 7) gracefully stops the operator-orchestrator service.
+4. **Start** — `scripts/start-services.sh main` (Step 7) brings the new image up. `HEALTHCHECK` `--start-period=10s` allows DB reconnect.
+5. **Audit** — `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT --since 10min` on the operator workstation confirms the new revision.
+6. **Smoke test** — operator runs the C12 `--flight-file <offline_fixture>` path against a known-good flight DTO; verifies the `FlightsApiClient` round-trip succeeds.
+
+### Post-deploy monitoring window
+
+| Window | What to watch | Action on regression |
+|--------|---------------|----------------------|
+| First 15 min | journald `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` cadence; container `HEALTHCHECK` status | Roll back immediately (§ Rollback Procedures) |
+| First flight (airborne) | QGC STATUSTEXT + `GpsDeniedHealth` MAVLink stream; FDR `overrun` count | Operator aborts flight if `GpsDeniedHealth` degrades; FC failsafe is the safety net |
+| First post-flight pull (airborne) | FDR `flight_footer.clean_shutdown` flag; `records_dropped_overrun`; per-component `tile_match`, `c6.eviction_batch` baselines | If `clean_shutdown=false` or baselines drifted → roll back; required post-mortem |
+
+## Rollback Procedures
+
+### Trigger Criteria
+
+| Severity | Trigger | Decision lead |
+|----------|---------|---------------|
+| **Immediate rollback** | New image fails `HEALTHCHECK` within 5 minutes of `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT`; or `flight_footer.clean_shutdown=false` on the first flight under the new image | Flight operator (airborne) / Suite operator (workstation) |
+| **Same-day rollback** | NFT-PERF baseline regression > 10% (frame deadline miss rate, end-to-end pose latency); FDR `records_dropped_overrun` > 0 above per-flight threshold; sustained `c6.eviction_batch` activity > baseline | Operator + GPS-Denied Onboard owner |
+| **Manual rollback** | Operator judgement (visible operational anomaly without a clear FDR signal) | Operator |
+
+### Rollback Steps (airborne Jetson)
+
+1. **Confirm the flag** — `/run/azaion/in-flight` is clear. If a flight is live, the FC's failsafe + operator's QGC abort path take precedence; rollback happens after landing.
+2. **Identify the previous-good SHA** — `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT --since 24h` on the affected Jetson shows the last successful revision.
+3. **Tag rollback** — operator retags the registry: `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:main-arm` → previous SHA. (Cycle-1: operator pulls + retags via the registry UI; cycle-2: scripted via `scripts/deploy.sh rollback <sha>`.)
+4. **Wait for Watchtower** — next poll detects the SHA change + pulls the previous image.
+5. **Verify** — `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT --since 10min` shows the rollback revision; companion `HEALTHCHECK` is healthy.
+6. **DB rollback** — cycle-1: not applicable (bootstrap-only schema). Cycle-2+: if the new image applied a migration, run the DOWN script if reversible; otherwise escalate to GPS-Denied Onboard owner + suite operator before proceeding.
+7. **Notify** — stakeholders informed; rollback flagged for post-mortem within 24 hours.
+
+### Rollback Steps (operator workstation)
+
+1. `scripts/stop-services.sh` (Step 7) stops the operator-orchestrator service.
+2. Operator runs `scripts/pull-images.sh <previous_sha>` (Step 7).
+3. `scripts/start-services.sh <previous_sha>` (Step 7) brings the previous image up.
+4. Verify via `HEALTHCHECK` + offline `--flight-file` smoke.
+5. DB rollback as above (cycle-1 n/a; cycle-2+ per migration tool).
+6. Notify suite operator.
+
+### Post-mortem (required after every production rollback)
+
+Recorded in `_docs/_process_leftovers/<YYYY-MM-DD>_<topic>_rollback.md` and replayed at the next `/autodev` invocation per `.cursor/rules/tracker.mdc` Leftovers Mechanism. Contents:
+
+- **Timeline** — `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` deploy event → first failure observation → rollback completion.
+- **Root cause** — pulled from FDR + journald + Woodpecker pipeline.
+- **What went wrong** — gate that should have caught it (CI? HITL? Pre-flight checklist?).
+- **Prevention** — concrete checklist edit or test addition. Lessons appended to `_docs/LESSONS.md` per the autodev retrospective conventions.
+
+## Deployment Checklist
+
+The pre-deploy checklist above is the canonical one. Repeating it here in the standard skill format for traceability:
+
+- [ ] All CI tests pass on the target branch (cycle-1: `01-test.yml` manual run; cycle-2: push gate)
+- [ ] Security scan clean — re-validated against current pins; OpenCV CVE replay condition checked (`_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`)
+- [ ] Docker images built + pushed under `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-<arch>`; OCI labels + `AZAION_REVISION` env stamped per AZ-204
+- [ ] Database migrations (cycle-2+): reviewed, tested, backward-compatible, flight-state-gated, operator-approved
+- [ ] Environment variables configured per-environment per `environment_strategy.md` § Environment Variables
+- [ ] Health check (`python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck`) returns 0 on a dry-run against the target image
+- [ ] Observability touchpoints active: `LOG_SINK` honoured, FDR mount writable, `jetson-stats` accessible inside the container (Tier-2)
+- [ ] Rollback plan documented — previous-good SHA recorded; rollback steps reviewed
+- [ ] Stakeholders notified of deployment window (flight operator + suite operator + GPS-Denied Onboard owner)
+- [ ] Operator available during the post-deploy monitoring window (first 15 minutes + first flight)
+
+## Self-verification
+
+- [x] Deployment strategy chosen (Watchtower floating-tag pull-on-ground) and justified (single instance per role, ground-only updates, FC-managed in-flight failsafe)
+- [x] Zero-downtime stance: **not applicable in flight**; ground-only — explicitly justified
+- [x] Health checks defined (exec-based `HEALTHCHECK` covering liveness + readiness; FC watchdog covers in-flight liveness via FC failsafe)
+- [x] Rollback trigger criteria (immediate / same-day / manual) + steps for both airborne and operator workstation
+- [x] Deployment checklist complete and grounded in the project's actual gates (`AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` audit, CVE replay, `/run/azaion/in-flight` flag, signing key provisioning)
+- [x] Post-mortem path defined and tied to the `_docs/_process_leftovers/` + `_docs/LESSONS.md` mechanism
+- [x] Graceful-shutdown sequence covers the FDR-flush + `flight_footer.clean_shutdown` invariants
+
+## BLOCKING — User Confirmation Required
+
+This is the deploy skill Step 6 BLOCKING gate per `.cursor/skills/deploy/SKILL.md` § Methodology Quick Reference. Step 7 (Deployment Scripts) writes executable shell scripts that automate the procedures above; user confirmation that the procedure is correct is required before scripts are generated.

+
+## Environments
+
+| Environment | Purpose | Infrastructure | Data Source |
+|-------------|---------|----------------|-------------|
+| **Development** | Local developer workflow on a Tier-1 workstation (Linux/macOS-Colima). Runs the full Tier-1 stack (`companion-tier1` + `operator-orchestrator` + `mock-suite-sat-service` + `db`) for unit + integration + Tier-1 e2e (Reality Gate replay). | Docker Compose (`docker-compose.yml`, `docker-compose.test.yml`); named volumes (`db-data`, `fdr-data`, `tile-data`); bind-mount `tests/fixtures:/fixtures:ro`. Optional dev Postgres on host. | Seed data via Docker init scripts; **mocked `satellite-provider`** via `mock-suite-sat-service`; **dev MAVLink signing key** from `tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key` (with `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY=ON` on dev containers only); **Derkachi replay clip + tlog** committed under `_docs/00_problem/input_data/`. |
+| **Staging** | Lab / research Jetson HITL rig — same Jetson Orin Nano Super hardware as airborne, but on the bench: SITL or recorded tlog as the FC source, recorded video as the camera source, no live flight. Used for pre-flight validation, NFT-PERF-* Tier-2 runs (when AZ-592 / AZ-593 land), and IT-12 comparative study. | Tier-2 hardware (Jetson Orin Nano Super) running JetPack 6.2 host OS + Docker via `runtime: nvidia`; image pulled from suite registry (`${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:dev-arm` per cycle-1 tag-suffix, eventually `:stage-arm`); compose file `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` for HITL e2e; Postgres 16 native on host. | Recorded Derkachi clip + SITL tlog (deterministic); test calibration JSON (`adti26.json`); **dev signing key** (per-flight rotation disabled — staging FC is SITL, not signed). Mirrors Production volume mount layout (`/var/lib/gps-denied/{fdr,tiles}`, `/data/models`) so calibration-cache + INT8-engine artefacts are interchangeable between bench and field. |
+| **Production** | Two distinct deploy targets, both anonymized-data-free (real flight data flows through them): (a) **airborne Jetson Orin Nano Super** carried on the aircraft, running the `companion-jetson` image under the parent-suite Watchtower flow per `containerization.md` ADR-005 amendment; (b) **operator workstation** running `operator-orchestrator` for pre-flight tile provisioning + post-landing upload via `FlightsApiClient` / `TileUploader`. | (a) Airborne: parent-suite `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml`, `runtime: nvidia`, Watchtower polling `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:main-arm`, host-mounted volumes for FDR (≥ 64 GB) + tile cache (≥ 10 GB) + model cache; native Postgres 16 on the Jetson NVM. (b) Operator workstation: `docker compose up` with `gps-denied-onboard/operator-orchestrator:main` or installed via `pull-images.sh` → `start-services.sh`; native Postgres 16 on the workstation. | Real flight data — live FC (ArduPilot Plane signed MAVLink 2.0, or iNav MSP2 unsigned), live nav camera (ADTi 20MP), live `satellite-provider` REST + on-disk tiles. **Per-flight ephemeral MAVLink + onboard signing keys** generated at takeoff load, rotated per flight, logged to FDR. Operator workstation reads `satellite-provider` API token from OS keyring; never written to any image. |
+
+### Tier ↔ Environment Mapping
+
+| Environment | Tier-1 image(s) used | Tier-2 image(s) used | Notes |
+|-------------|----------------------|------------------------|-------|
+| Development | `companion-tier1`, `operator-orchestrator`, `mock-suite-sat-service` | — | All four services via `docker-compose.yml`. |
+| Staging (lab Jetson) | — | `companion-jetson` (when cycle-2 ships), or `companion-tier1` in Tier-1-on-Jetson interim | Tier-2 Jetson HITL pulls the arm64 image; `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` orchestrates. |
+| Production — airborne | — | `companion-jetson` (cycle-2) | Watchtower-managed; cycle-1 ships only the planning + Tier-1 images per `ci_cd_pipeline.md` Registry Layout. |
+| Production — operator workstation | `operator-orchestrator` | — | Cycle-1 already builds + pushes `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard-operator-orchestrator:<branch>-arm`. |
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Required Variables (companion + operator-orchestrator)
+
+> Source of truth: `.env.example` at repo root (extended in Step 1). The
+> table below references that file; do NOT re-declare variable names here.
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Dev Default (Tier-1 Docker) | Staging Source (lab Jetson) | Production Source |
+|----------|---------|------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------|
+| `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE` | FC adapter selection | `ardupilot_plane` | Per-rig fixed (matches the SITL profile in use) | Per-flight config from operator; written into the per-flight bundle on the operator workstation |
+| `GPS_DENIED_TIER` | Runtime tier gate | `1` | `2` | `2` (baked into the Jetson image manifest) |
+| `DB_URL` | Postgres connection | `postgresql://gps_denied:dev@db:5432/gps_denied` (dev Docker creds) | Lab Postgres init script — per-host random password | Per-host native Postgres init with random password; written to `/etc/gps-denied/.pgpass` (root:gps-denied, 0640) and exported by the systemd / Docker run hook |
+| `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_URL` | Pre-flight tile download | `http://mock-sat:5100` | Lab `satellite-provider` (LAN-resolved); blank on airborne | Operator workstation env / VPN-resolved hostname; **empty on airborne** (defence-in-depth NFT-SEC-05 — in-flight egress lockdown) |
+| `CAMERA_CALIBRATION_PATH` | Camera calibration JSON | `/fixtures/calibration/adti26.json` | `/etc/gps-denied/calibration/adti26.json` (operator copies the test fixture for HITL) | `/etc/gps-denied/calibration/adti20.json` (operator-acquired per D-PROJ-1) |
+| `LOG_LEVEL` | Log verbosity | `DEBUG` | `INFO` | `INFO` |
+| `LOG_SINK` | Log destination | `console` | `journald` (lab) | `fdr` on airborne; `journald` on operator workstation |
+| `MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY` | Per-flight signing key | `tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key` (with `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY=ON`) | `tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key` (lab SITL, signing disabled or static-dev) | **Per-flight ephemeral key**, generated at takeoff load, rotated per flight, logged to FDR. Never committed; never written to the image. |
+| `INFERENCE_BACKEND` | C7 backend selection | `pytorch_fp16` | `tensorrt` (Tier-2 hardware) | `tensorrt` |
+| `FDR_PATH` | C13 ring writer | `/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr` (named volume `fdr-data`) | Host-mounted `/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr` on the lab Jetson | Host-mounted `/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr` on the airborne Jetson NVM partition (≥ 64 GB) |
+| `TILE_CACHE_PATH` | C6 tile filesystem store | `/var/lib/gps-denied/tiles` (named volume `tile-data`) | Host-mounted `/var/lib/gps-denied/tiles` on the lab Jetson | Host-mounted `/var/lib/gps-denied/tiles` on the airborne Jetson NVM (≥ 10 GB) |
+
+Optional / build-time strategy gating flags (`BUILD_VINS_MONO`, `BUILD_SALAD`, `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER`, `BUILD_VIDEO_FILE_FRAME_SOURCE`, `BUILD_TLOG_REPLAY_ADAPTER`, `BUILD_REPLAY_SINK_JSONL`, `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY`, `BUILD_STATE_ESKF`) are documented in `.env.example` and in `deploy_status_report.md` → "Required Environment Variables". Operative defaults per ADR-002 + ADR-004 + ADR-011:
+
+- Airborne / operator-orchestrator binaries: `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER=OFF` on airborne (ADR-004 process-level isolation — CI SBOM-diff + runtime self-check + NFT-SEC-02 egress test enforce); `BUILD_C11_TILE_MANAGER=ON` on operator-orchestrator only.
+- Replay-mode strategy flags: `ON` on airborne + research; explicitly set in `docker-compose.test*.yml` for CI.
+- `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY`: **MUST stay OFF on production images.** Dev / CI containers only.
+
+### `.env.example`
+
+Source of truth lives at the repo root (`.env.example`), version-controlled. It contains placeholder values for all required variables plus comments for build-time gating flags. Operators copy it to `.env` (git-ignored) and fill in values per environment. Tier-2 production deploys do **not** use `.env` at all — environment variables are stamped into the systemd / Docker run hook by `start-services.sh` (Step 7) from `/etc/gps-denied/env.d/` files owned `root:gps-denied 0640`.
+
+### Variable Validation (fail-fast at startup)
+
+All services validate required environment variables at startup and exit non-zero with a clear error message if any are missing. Implementation lives in each component's config module:
+
+| Component | Config module | Variables validated |
+|-----------|---------------|---------------------|
+| Composition root | `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/__main__.py` | `GPS_DENIED_TIER`, `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE`, `LOG_LEVEL`, `LOG_SINK` |
+| C6 (tile cache) | `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c6_tile_cache/config.py` | `DB_URL`, `TILE_CACHE_PATH` |
+| C7 (inference) | `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c7_inference/config.py` | `INFERENCE_BACKEND` (must be one of `tensorrt`, `pytorch_fp16`, `onnx_trt_ep`); `INFERENCE_BACKEND=tensorrt` requires the model cache volume mount |
+| C8 (FC adapter) | `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c8_fc_adapter/config.py` | `MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY` (when `GPS_DENIED_FC_PROFILE=ardupilot_plane`) |
+| C10 (provisioning) | `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c10_provisioning/config.py` | `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_URL` (operator-orchestrator only; **must be empty on airborne**); `CAMERA_CALIBRATION_PATH` |
+| C13 (FDR) | `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c13_fdr/config.py` | `FDR_PATH` (must be writable, ≥ 64 GB free on production) |
+
+Health check (`python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck`, declared in each Dockerfile) re-runs the same validation set after startup so a Docker `HEALTHY` transition is conditioned on configuration validity, not just process liveness.
+
+## Secrets Management
+
+| Environment | Method | Tool / Location | Rotation |
+|-------------|--------|-----------------|----------|
+| Development | `.env` file (git-ignored) + `tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key` (allow-listed in `.gitignore`) | dotenv loaded by Docker Compose; fixture key read directly by tests with `BUILD_DEV_STATIC_KEY=ON` | None — dev fixture is static. |
+| Staging (lab Jetson) | `.env` file (git-ignored) on the Jetson host + same dev fixture signing key (lab SITL is not a signing-attack target) | `/etc/gps-denied/env.d/*.env` on the Jetson, `root:gps-denied 0640` | None — lab fixture is static. |
+| Production — airborne | **Per-flight ephemeral MAVLink + onboard signing key generated at takeoff load, rotated per flight, logged to FDR.** The Postgres password is generated per-host at JetPack provisioning and stored in `/etc/gps-denied/.pgpass` (`root:gps-denied 0640`). The airborne image has **no inbound listeners** (NFT-SEC-05 in-flight egress lockdown) so no API secrets live on it. | Onboard secret generation: `KeySource` Protocol implemented in `src/gps_denied_onboard/components/c8_fc_adapter/key_source.py` (per-flight rotation). Postgres password: provisioning script on the Jetson host writes once at first boot. | **Per-flight rotation** for MAVLink + onboard signing keys (Principle #7). Postgres password rotated on operator-issued re-provisioning only. |
+| Production — operator workstation | Operator's local credential store / OS keyring for the `satellite-provider` API token + per-flight onboard signing key staging. Suite Woodpecker global secrets (`registry_host`, `registry_user`, `registry_token`) for image pulls — already provisioned per `../_infra/ci/install-woodpecker.sh`; this submodule consumes them via `from_secret:` references in `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml`. | macOS Keychain / GNOME-Keyring / Windows Credential Manager via a thin wrapper invoked by `start-services.sh`; Woodpecker global secrets injected as env vars at pipeline runtime. | `satellite-provider` API token: rotated by the suite operator (out-of-band); per-flight onboard signing keys rotated per flight (above). Registry token: rotated by suite operator on schedule. |
+| CI | Suite-provisioned Woodpecker global secrets (`registry_host`, `registry_user`, `registry_token`) | Consumed by `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` via `from_secret:` references — never committed | Rotated by suite operator (out-of-band, ≤ 90 days target per suite policy). |
+
+**Rotation policy (companion-side, normative)**:
+
+- **Per-flight** (MAVLink 2.0 signing key + onboard signing key): mandatory; new keypair generated at takeoff load by `KeySource`, rotated even if the previous flight ended normally. Logged to FDR for chain-of-custody.
+- **Per-host** (Postgres password on Jetson + operator workstation): rotated on operator-issued re-provisioning; no scheduled rotation.
+- **Per-operator-credential** (`satellite-provider` API token, registry token): owned and rotated by the suite operator out-of-band; this submodule consumes whatever is provisioned.
+
+**No external cloud secret manager** (AWS Secrets Manager / Azure Key Vault / HashiCorp Vault) is used. The combination of (a) per-flight ephemeral signing keys generated on-device, (b) no inbound network listeners on the airborne image, (c) per-host Postgres password with no shared state across hosts, and (d) suite-managed Woodpecker secrets for CI is sufficient for the operational risk model and matches `deploy_status_report.md` → "Secret manager — Per-flight ephemeral, no external manager".
+
+**Never commit**: real MAVLink signing keys (the dev fixture `tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key` is the allow-listed exception); real Postgres credentials (the committed `DB_URL` in `.env.example` uses the local Docker `dev` password placeholder); `satellite-provider` API tokens; `.env` files (`.gitignore` line 64 confirms).
+
+## Database Management
+
+| Environment | Type | Migrations | Data |
+|-------------|------|-----------|------|
+| Development | Docker Postgres 16 (`db` service in `docker-compose.yml`), named volume `db-data` | Applied on container start by C6 bootstrap (idempotent `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` for tile + descriptor index) | Seed data via the C6 bootstrap on first run; `docker compose down -v` drops the volume cleanly for `docker compose up --build` |
+| Staging (lab Jetson) | Native Postgres 16 on JetPack 6.2 host, sized ≤ 10 GB on a dedicated NVM partition | Applied via the same C6 bootstrap on first run; subsequent migrations applied via CI/CD lane (when cycle-2 lands an explicit migration runner) | Recorded Derkachi clip tile-set + descriptor index pre-loaded by `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/` |
+| Production — airborne | Native Postgres 16 on the Jetson Orin Nano Super NVM partition (≥ 10 GB tile cache budget + descriptor index) | Applied via the C6 bootstrap at first systemd unit start; cycle-1 schema is bootstrap-only with no breaking migrations. Future migrations (cycle-2+): reversible, backward-compatible, applied by a dedicated migration job that is **gated by the flight-state flag** (`/run/azaion/in-flight` — no DB writes during flight) | Real flight data: pre-flight tile + descriptor index seeded by `TileDownloader` on the operator workstation, packaged by C10, and copied to the Jetson NVM at provisioning |
+| Production — operator workstation | Native Postgres 16 on the operator workstation | Applied via the same C6 bootstrap; future migrations applied via CI/CD with operator approval | Operator-managed: tile downloads via `satellite-provider`, post-landing uploads via `TileUploader` |
+
+### Migration Rules (cycle-2+ — not yet exercised)
+
+- **Reversible**: every migration ships with an explicit DOWN / rollback script.
+- **Backward-compatible**: a new schema version must continue to work with the previous binary's read path until the next release rotates both. Sequence: deploy migration → wait one release cycle → remove old code path.
+- **Production gate**: production migrations require operator approval recorded in the Woodpecker UI before apply.
+- **Flight-state gate**: migration jobs on the airborne Jetson refuse to run when `/run/azaion/in-flight` is set. The post-landing operator-issued reconcile path is the only window for schema changes on the airborne side.
+
+### Cycle-1 Migration Status
+
+Cycle-1 ships **without a migration runner**. The C6 bootstrap path uses idempotent `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` for the tile + descriptor index schema, which is enough for cycle-1 because no schema change has happened since the initial bootstrap. Adding a dedicated migration tool (Alembic / similar) is logged as a cycle-2 follow-up — recorded here so it is not lost.

+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Proceed to Step 5 (Observability)** — define structured logging (`LOG_SINK`), metrics (per-component counters, Prometheus-compatible exposition if cycle-2 adds it), tracing (out-of-scope for cycle-1; FDR records serve as the airborne audit trail), and the `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` journald audit chain.
+2. **Step 6 (Deployment Procedures)** must reference this environment matrix when documenting per-environment deploy procedures (Tier-1 dev `docker compose up`, lab Jetson HITL `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml`, airborne Watchtower-driven update, operator workstation `docker compose up` with image pull).
+3. **Step 7 (Deployment Scripts)** must implement the env-loader hook (`start-services.sh` reading `/etc/gps-denied/env.d/*.env` per-host on production targets), the per-host Postgres password generation hook, and the `KeySource` per-flight ephemeral key invocation contract.
+4. **Cycle-2 follow-up**: introduce a dedicated migration runner (Alembic or equivalent) with the flight-state-gated apply path and operator-approval gate.

+
+## Observability Architecture (one-paragraph)
+
+The airborne image (`companion-jetson` / `companion-tier1`) writes
+**structured FDR records** to a 64 GB ring buffer (`/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr`)
+via the `shared_fdr_client` (`producer → SPSC ring → C13 writer`). Logs
+above `WARN` are forwarded into FDR as `kind="log"` records by the
+`fdr_log_bridge` (AZ-267); below-WARN logs go to `LOG_SINK` (`console` in
+dev, `journald` on the operator workstation, `fdr` on airborne — never to
+file). Telemetry is captured as kind-specific FDR records (`vio.tick`,
+`state.tick`, `tile_match`, `c6.write`, `c6.eviction_batch`, etc.) rather
+than via a Prometheus endpoint, because no inbound TCP is permitted in
+flight. Post-flight tooling on the operator workstation parses the FDR
+segments using the **frozen, versioned `fdr_record_schema` v1.3.0** and
+feeds Grafana / Jupyter / one-off scripts. The suite-mandated
+**`AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` journald audit chain** + OCI image labels
+(`org.opencontainers.image.revision/created/source`) + `ENV
+AZAION_REVISION=$CI_COMMIT_SHA` form the deploy-side audit trail (AZ-204).
+**`jetson-stats` (`jtop`) device telemetry** (thermal zones, CPU/GPU
+clocks, power rails) is sampled by C7 + C4 to drive the
+`D-CROSS-LATENCY-1` auto-degrade hybrid trigger; samples land in FDR
+alongside the matcher / pose ticks.
+
+## Logging
+
+### Format
+
+Structured records to `LOG_SINK`. No file-based logging in containers.
+The `LOG_SINK` env var (Step 4) selects the destination per environment.
+
+#### Common log envelope (per-record fields)
+
+Source of truth: `_docs/02_document/contracts/shared_log_bridge/log_record_schema.md` v1.0.0 — referenced by the `fdr_log_bridge` (AZ-267). Every onboard log record carries:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2026-05-10T03:14:15.123456Z",
+  "level": "INFO",
+  "service": "gps-denied-onboard",
+  "component": "c2_vpr",
+  "flight_id": "<uuid>",
+  "frame_id": 12345,
+  "kind": "vpr.warmup",
+  "msg": "loaded",
+  "kv": {"model": "salad"},
+  "exc": null
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Purpose | Notes |
+|-------|---------|-------|
+| `timestamp` | ISO 8601 UTC, microsecond precision | RFC 3339 with `Z` suffix |
+| `level` | `DEBUG \| INFO \| WARN \| ERROR` | `WARN` + `ERROR` are also mirrored into FDR via `fdr_log_bridge` |
+| `service` | `gps-denied-onboard` | Constant per submodule |
+| `component` | Module slug from `module-layout.md` (`c2_vpr`, `c6_tile_cache.store`, `shared.fdr_client`, …) | Matches `producer_id` on the corresponding FDR record |
+| `flight_id` | UUID assigned at flight open by C13 (`flight_header`) | Correlation across all components within one flight |
+| `frame_id` | Monotonic per-frame counter from `runtime_root` | Cross-component frame correlation (VIO ↔ matcher ↔ state) |
+| `kind` | Dotted snake_case event tag (closed enum per component) | E.g. `vpr.warmup`, `c6.evict.budget`, `c8.signing_key_rotation` |
+| `msg` | Short human-readable event description | No PII; no secrets; no file payloads |
+| `kv` | Bag of typed scalars | JSON-safe; no nested blobs > 4 KiB |
+| `exc` | Optional exception class + traceback | Present only on `ERROR`; truncated to 4 KiB |
+
+### Log Levels
+
+| Level | Usage | Example |
+|-------|-------|---------|
+| ERROR | Exceptions, failures requiring offline review | `c5.solver.diverged`, `c8.signing_handshake_failed`, `c6.write_failed` |
+| WARN | Degraded operation, retry, fallback engaged | `c4.pose.degraded_to_pnp`, `c6.freshness.rejected`, `c7.tensorrt_engine_rebuild` |
+| INFO | Significant in-flight business events | `c8.signing_key_rotation`, `flight_header`, `flight_footer`, `c11.upload_batch_queued` |
+| DEBUG | Detailed diagnostics (dev only) | Per-frame VIO covariance dump, full matcher correspondences list |
+
+`WARN` + `ERROR` are mirrored into FDR via `fdr_log_bridge` (AZ-267) so they survive a post-landing `journalctl` clear. `INFO` + `DEBUG` go only to `LOG_SINK`.
+
+### Destinations and Retention
+
+| Environment | `LOG_SINK` | Destination | Retention |
+|-------------|------------|-------------|-----------|
+| Development (Tier-1 Docker) | `console` | Docker container stdout (`docker compose logs companion`) | Session — cleared on `docker compose down` |
+| CI (Woodpecker) | `console` | Woodpecker UI stdout capture | Per the suite Woodpecker retention policy (operator-managed; today ≤ 30 days) |
+| Staging (lab Jetson) | `journald` | Host journald | Per the host's `journald.conf` (suite default: ~7 days rolling) |
+| Production — airborne | `fdr` | FDR ring buffer at `/var/lib/gps-denied/fdr` (≥ 64 GB) | Bounded by ring capacity; rolls over per `segment_rollover` FDR record. Post-flight operator pulls segments to long-term storage on the operator workstation. |
+| Production — operator workstation | `journald` | Host journald | Per the host's `journald.conf` (operator-managed; recommendation: 30 days for the operator-orchestrator service unit) |
+
+### "PII" Rules (read: operational secrets)
+
+This system has no end-user PII surface — flights, MAVLink, and tile data are operational rather than personal. The equivalent restrictions are **operational-secret leakage** controls:
+
+- **Never log** MAVLink 2.0 signing key bytes, per-flight onboard signing key bytes, `satellite-provider` API tokens, registry tokens, or Postgres credentials. The `KeySource` Protocol (C8) is the only component that ever holds key material, and its log path emits **only** the rotation event tag + key fingerprint (SHA-256 first 8 bytes), never the key.
+- **Mask** absolute file paths in any record that references operator-specific layouts (e.g. `/Users/<operator>/…` collapsed to `~/…`).
+- **Never log** raw camera frame bytes or full tile JPEGs inline — they go to sidecar paths via FDR's `failed_tile_thumbnail` (≤ 0.1 Hz rate cap) or `mid_flight_tile_snapshot`.
+- **Never log** raw GPS coordinates unless the flight's `restricted_geographic_log_redaction` config is `off` (operator-set at takeoff load).
+
+## Telemetry (FDR-based, not Prometheus)
+
+### Why FDR, not Prometheus / OTel
+
+The airborne image runs under NFT-SEC-05 (in-flight egress lockdown — no inbound listeners, outbound only to the FC over UART/USB and to QGroundControl over MAVLink 2.0 1–2 Hz downsampled summary). A `/metrics` HTTP endpoint would violate this, and a push-mode OTel exporter has no in-flight collector to reach. The FDR ring is the canonical telemetry sink; post-flight tooling converts FDR records into whatever observability backend the operator prefers (Grafana, Jupyter, ad-hoc scripts).
+
+The **operator workstation** is *not* in-flight-locked-down; cycle-2 may add a Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint on the `operator-orchestrator` service (see "Future Work" below). Cycle-1 leaves both the operator-orchestrator and airborne side on the FDR + structured logs path for consistency.
+
+### FDR Record Kinds (cycle-1 metrics surface)
+
+Source of truth: `_docs/02_document/contracts/shared_fdr_client/fdr_record_schema.md` v1.3.0. Each `kind` is the metric.
+
+| Metric (FDR `kind`) | Producer | Type (intent) | What it tells the operator |
+|---------------------|----------|----------------|----------------------------|
+| `vio.tick` | C1 | per-frame snapshot | VIO output (`R`, `t`), pose covariance proxies, last-anchor age, monocular reproj error, IMU bias norm |
+| `state.tick` | C5 | per-frame snapshot | Smoothed fused-pose tick from iSAM2 (or ESKF baseline) + 2x2 covariance + estimator label |
+| `tile_match` | C2.5 / C3 | per-match snapshot | Tile id, VPR score, match count, RANSAC inlier count |
+| `c6.write` | C6 | counter-ish (per-tile) | Successful `write_tile` — tile id, source, disk bytes, content SHA-256 |
+| `c6.write_failed` | C6 | counter-ish (per-failure) | Failed `write_tile` — `reason ∈ {content_hash_mismatch, freshness_reject, metadata_error, fs_error}` |
+| `c6.freshness.rejected` | C6 | counter-ish (per-reject) | Active-conflict-stale tile rejected — `tile_id`, `age_seconds`, threshold |
+| `c6.freshness.downgraded` | C6 | counter-ish (per-downgrade) | Stable-rear-stale tile downgraded — same shape as rejected |
+| `c6.eviction_batch` | C6 | batch counter (per sweep) | Cache budget enforcer evicted N tiles to make room — trigger tile, freed bytes, count, first 5 evicted ids |
+| `overrun` | `shared.fdr_client` | counter (per drop) | FDR ring overrun — `producer_id` of the originating queue + dropped count (`> 0`). AC-NEW-3: never silent. |
+| `segment_rollover` | C13 writer | counter (per rotation) | Segment file rotated (including 64 GB cap drops) |
+| `failed_tile_thumbnail` | C6 / C11 | rate-capped sample | Forensic JPEG thumbnail (≤ 0.1 Hz). AC-8.5 |
+| `mid_flight_tile_snapshot` | C13 snapshot path | sample pointer | Mid-flight tile snapshot pointer (sidecar). AC-8.4 |
+| `flight_header` | C13 writer | once-per-flight | `flight_id`, start ISO/monotonic, config snapshot, signing-key rotation event, manifest content hashes, build info |
+| `flight_footer` | C13 writer | once-per-flight | `flight_id`, end ISO/monotonic, records written / dropped (overrun) / bytes / rollover count / clean-shutdown flag |
+
+### Device Telemetry (`jetson-stats` / `jtop`)
+
+`D-CROSS-LATENCY-1` requires runtime thermal + power + GPU clock telemetry to drive the auto-degrade hybrid trigger (frame deadline missed × thermal headroom). Cycle-1 source: `jetson-stats` (`jtop`) accessed inside the `companion-jetson` container via `runtime: nvidia` + the nvidia-container-runtime device passthrough — same pattern the suite's `detections` service uses on the same hardware.
+
+| Signal | Source | Sample rate | Consumer |
+|--------|--------|-------------|----------|
+| GPU clock (MHz) | `jtop.gpu` | 1 Hz | C7 (degrade gate); recorded into FDR via `c7.device_telemetry` log records (`kind="c7.thermal_headroom"`) |
+| GPU/CPU temperature (°C) | `jtop.temperature` | 1 Hz | C4 / C7 hybrid trigger |
+| Power draw (mW) | `jtop.power` | 1 Hz | Cycle-2 derate hysteresis |
+| Memory pressure | `jtop.memory` | 1 Hz | C6 eviction batch hysteresis |
+
+Cycle-1: `jtop` runs in-process inside the companion container; samples are emitted as FDR `kind="c7.thermal_headroom"` records. Cycle-2 may move this to a sidecar Python thread once the Step 2 BLOCKING gate "`jetson-stats` thermal telemetry under Docker" (`containerization.md` § Step 2 Validation Gates) is signed off on the real Tier-2 Jetson.
+
+### Collection Interval
+
+| Source | Interval |
+|--------|----------|
+| Per-frame producers (C1 `vio.tick`, C5 `state.tick`, C3 `tile_match`) | Camera frame cadence (target ≥ 4 Hz on Tier-2; per `_docs/02_document/architecture.md` Vision) |
+| Per-write producers (C6 `c6.write`, `c6.write_failed`, `c6.freshness.*`) | Per-event (write-path triggered) |
+| Per-batch producers (C6 `c6.eviction_batch`) | Per-sweep (only when ≥ 1 tile evicted) |
+| `jetson-stats` (`jtop`) | 1 Hz |
+| `flight_header` / `flight_footer` | Once per flight |
+| `segment_rollover` | Per segment rotation |
+
+There is no Prometheus-style "scrape interval" because there is no scraping endpoint — the FDR ring is push-only from producers, drained by C13's writer thread.
+
+## Distributed Tracing
+
+### Architecture stance (cycle-1)
+
+**No W3C Trace Context. No OpenTelemetry SDK.** The airborne image's correlation key is the pair `(flight_id, frame_id)`:
+
+- `flight_id` (UUID) is assigned at flight open by C13 and written into `flight_header`. Every log record and FDR record within that flight carries it.
+- `frame_id` (monotonic per-frame counter) is assigned by the composition root's frame pipeline. Every per-frame FDR record (`vio.tick`, `state.tick`, `tile_match`, `c6.write` …) carries it.
+
+This is sufficient because the airborne pipeline is **in-process, single-camera, single-FC** — there are no inter-service RPC hops to trace. Post-flight tooling reconstructs the per-frame causal chain by joining FDR records on `(flight_id, frame_id)`.
+
+The **operator workstation** has more conventional inter-service traffic (C12 ↔ `flights` REST, C11 ↔ `satellite-provider` REST). Cycle-1 traces these by:
+
+- Per-request log records with the request URL + status + duration_ms + a generated `correlation_id`.
+- `FlightsApiClient` and the `satellite-provider` HTTP client both stamp this correlation id on the request line + response log.
+
+OpenTelemetry SDK + W3C Trace Context propagation is a **cycle-2 polish item** for the operator-orchestrator only — not for the airborne image. Logged in "Future Work" below.
+
+### Sampling
+
+| Environment | Effective sampling rate | Rationale |
+|-------------|--------------------------|-----------|
+| Development | 100% | FDR + logs both on |
+| Staging (lab Jetson) | 100% | Full visibility for IT-12 / NFT-PERF runs |
+| Production — airborne | 100% per-frame for `vio.tick`/`state.tick`/`tile_match`; `failed_tile_thumbnail` rate-capped at ≤ 0.1 Hz | FDR ring is the only post-landing forensic record; full per-frame capture is mandatory. Rate caps live on byte-heavy forensic records only. |
+| Production — operator workstation | 100% INFO+; DEBUG off | Operator workstation has full disk; cost is not a concern. |
+
+## Alerting
+
+### Airborne (in-flight)
+
+**No real-time alerting from the airborne image.** Autonomy: the FC handles in-flight failsafe (`SAFE_DEAD_RECKONING`, `RTL`, `LAND` etc. per AC-FC-FAILSAFE-1). The companion does not have a network path to a human operator in flight — its only outbound channel is the MAVLink 2.0 1–2 Hz downsampled summary to QGroundControl, which surfaces companion health via STATUSTEXT messages and the parent suite's `GpsDeniedHealth` MAVLink message.
+
+Alert-equivalents on the airborne side:
+
+| Event | Detected by | In-flight signal |
+|-------|-------------|------------------|
+| Companion process died | FC adapter watchdog timeout | FC drops to `SAFE_DEAD_RECKONING`; operator sees lost telemetry in QGC |
+| `D-CROSS-LATENCY-1` deadline miss + thermal headroom low | C4 / C7 hybrid trigger | Auto-degrade to lower-cost C7 backend; STATUSTEXT to QGC + FDR `kind="c7.degrade"` |
+| C8 signing handshake failed | C8 FC adapter | Refuses takeoff; STATUSTEXT to QGC + FDR `kind="c8.signing_handshake_failed"` |
+| FDR ring overrun | `shared.fdr_client` drop-oldest hook | Emits `kind="overrun"` (AC-NEW-3); post-flight forensics tag |
+| Segment cap reached (64 GB) | C13 writer | Emits `kind="segment_rollover"` with cap-drop flag; oldest data lost — flag surfaces post-flight |
+
+### Post-Flight (operator workstation)
+
+Post-flight analysis runs the FDR segments through the post-landing tooling. Alerts surface in the operator's environment:
+
+| Severity | Response time | Condition | Cycle-1 channel |
+|----------|---------------|-----------|------------------|
+| Critical | Pre-next-flight gate (≤ 10 min before takeoff) | `flight_footer.clean_shutdown == false`; `kind="c8.signing_handshake_failed"` observed; FDR overrun count > 0 above per-flight threshold | Operator UI block + Slack `#gps-denied-ops` (cycle-2 once the channel is wired); cycle-1: operator's local terminal output from post-landing tooling |
+| High | Same-day | C6 eviction batch > 100 in one flight; tile_match score histogram drifted vs operator baseline | Same as above |
+| Medium | Within 1 week | Cumulative thermal-headroom-low events trending up across recent flights | Operator dashboard (cycle-2) |
+| Low | Recorded in flight summary only | Non-critical warnings (FDR `kind="log"` at WARN level) | Flight summary PDF / Markdown |
+
+### CI (Woodpecker pipelines)
+
+| Severity | Response time | Condition | Channel |
+|----------|---------------|-----------|---------|
+| Critical | Same business day | `01-test.yml` failure on `main` branch | Woodpecker UI; per-repo Slack channel (cycle-2 follow-up — `ci_cd_pipeline.md` Future Work #8) |
+| High | Within 24 h | `02-build-push.yml` build failure on any push branch | Woodpecker UI |
+| Medium | Next business day | Lint / coverage gate fail (cycle-2; cycle-1 has neither) | n/a in cycle-1 |
+| Low | Next sprint review | Non-critical pipeline warnings | n/a |
+
+### Deploy / Update (Watchtower)
+
+| Severity | Response time | Condition | Channel |
+|----------|---------------|-----------|---------|
+| Critical | Immediate | Watchtower post-update hook emits `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT severity=error` to journald (image pull failed, container crash on restart) | journald + suite operator's `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` audit chain |
+| Informational | None | Watchtower applied an update during a non-flight window (`/run/azaion/in-flight` cleared) | `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT severity=info` to journald — audit only |
+
+## Dashboards
+
+### Operations (cycle-1 — what exists today)
+
+- **Suite Woodpecker UI** — CI pipeline status per branch + commit; the only "live" operations dashboard cycle-1 ships.
+- **`jtop` on the bench** — operator runs `sudo jtop` on the lab / airborne Jetson during staging / pre-flight to observe thermal + GPU clock + power. Not a service dashboard; it's a CLI tool.
+- **`docker ps` + `docker compose logs`** — the operator workstation operator's `dev`-environment dashboard.
+
+### Operations (cycle-2 polish, planned)
+
+- **Grafana dashboard** fed by post-landing-parsed FDR records — service health per component (FDR record kinds rolled up into rates), thermal trend, eviction count, tile_match score distribution.
+- **Prometheus `/metrics` on operator-orchestrator** — once the operator workstation cycle-2 wires this, the Grafana dashboard pulls live operator-side metrics alongside post-landing FDR rollups.
+
+### Flight Analytics (cycle-1 — what exists today)
+
+- **Per-flight summary** generated by post-landing tooling (Markdown / PDF) — records written / dropped, segment count, top-N error log lines, eviction count, signing-key rotation event log, `flight_footer.clean_shutdown` flag. Stored alongside the FDR segments under `_docs/06_metrics/flights/<flight_id>/` (cycle-2 publishes; cycle-1 staging dir is operator-local).
+
+### Flight Analytics (cycle-2 polish, planned)
+
+- **FDR replay viewer** — interactive timeline of `(flight_id, frame_id)` correlated records.
+- **NFT-PERF baseline tracker** — frame deadline miss rate, thermal headroom, end-to-end pose latency tracked across flights.

+- Every image (`companion-jetson`, `companion-tier1`, `operator-orchestrator`) is built with:
+  - OCI labels: `org.opencontainers.image.revision=$CI_COMMIT_SHA`, `org.opencontainers.image.created=<UTC RFC 3339>`, `org.opencontainers.image.source=$CI_REPO_URL`.
+  - `ENV AZAION_SERVICE=gps-denied-onboard` + `ENV AZAION_REVISION=$CI_COMMIT_SHA`.
+- Watchtower's post-update hook emits one `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` line per applied update into journald, carrying the new revision SHA + service name + timestamp + outcome.
+- The operator runs `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` on any Jetson to answer "what is this device running and when did it last update?".
+
+## Self-verification
+
+- [x] Structured logging format defined with required fields (timestamp, level, service, component, `flight_id`, `frame_id`, kind, msg, kv, exc)
+- [x] Per-environment `LOG_SINK` destination + retention tabulated
+- [x] FDR-based metrics surface enumerated (every `fdr_record_schema` v1.3.0 kind mapped to its operator-relevant meaning)
+- [x] Device telemetry (`jetson-stats` / `jtop`) source + sample rate + consumer (D-CROSS-LATENCY-1 hybrid trigger)
+- [x] Tracing stance recorded — no W3C Trace Context / OTel SDK on airborne (justified by single-process pipeline + NFT-SEC-05); operator-side correlation_id pattern documented; OTel deferred to cycle-2 polish
+- [x] Alert severities + response times defined across the four touchpoints: airborne in-flight, post-flight operator workstation, CI, deploy/update audit (`AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT`)
+- [x] Operational-secret leakage controls in place (no key bytes / API tokens / Postgres credentials in logs; `KeySource` is the only key holder)
+- [x] Dashboards inventoried — cycle-1 reality (Woodpecker UI, `jtop`, post-landing summary) explicit; cycle-2 polish (Grafana, FDR replay viewer, NFT-PERF tracker) logged as follow-ups
+- [x] Suite-mandated deploy audit chain (`AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` + OCI labels + `AZAION_REVISION` env) referenced from `../_infra/` docs
+
+## Future Work (cycle-2 polish)
+
+1. **Prometheus `/metrics` on `operator-orchestrator`** — cycle-2 wires an in-process exporter for operator-workstation-side metrics (`flights` REST round-trip latency, `satellite-provider` download throughput, tile manifest content-hash failures). The airborne image stays off this path per NFT-SEC-05.
+2. **Grafana dashboard fed by post-landing-parsed FDR rollups** — single pane of glass for per-flight + cross-flight trends.
+3. **OpenTelemetry SDK on `operator-orchestrator` only** — instruments `FlightsApiClient` + `satellite-provider` HTTP client with W3C Trace Context propagation. Out of scope for airborne.
+4. **Per-repo Slack channel (`#gps-denied-ci` for CI, `#gps-denied-ops` for post-flight)** — `ci_cd_pipeline.md` Future Work #8 already logs the CI half; this doc adds the ops half.
+5. **FDR replay viewer** — interactive timeline of `(flight_id, frame_id)` correlated records; consumes FDR segments via the `fdr_record_schema` v1.3.0 parser.
+6. **NFT-PERF baseline tracker** — automated frame-deadline-miss-rate + thermal-headroom + end-to-end pose latency trending across flights, gated by AZ-595 SITL replay fixture + AZ-592/AZ-593 Tier-2 OKVIS2/VINS-Mono wiring.
+7. **Centralised log aggregator on the operator workstation** — Loki / journald-export-to-cloud once the operator network egress allows it; cycle-1 leaves journald at host-default retention.

+## Deployment Readiness Summary
+
+| Aspect | Status | Notes |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| Architecture defined | ✅ | `architecture.md` v1 + 11 ADRs; vision section is the spine, no drift detected |
+| Component specs complete | ✅ | 14 components (C1–C8, C10–C13) with description.md present |
+| Infrastructure prerequisites met | ⚠️ Partial | Tier-1 (workstation Docker + Postgres 16 + mock-sat) ready and committed; **parent-suite CI/CD (Woodpecker + Gitea Packages registry + Caddy TLS) already exists** at `../_infra/ci/` — this submodule needs to author `.woodpecker/01-test.yml` + `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` per the suite-mandated two-workflow contract; Tier-2 Jetson runner availability tracked as cycle-1 follow-up (AZ-592 / AZ-593) |
+| External dependencies identified | ✅ | parent-suite `satellite-provider` (read pre-flight, write post-landing via planned D-PROJ-2), parent-suite `flights` REST, ArduPilot Plane FC (signed MAVLink 2.0), iNav FC (MSP2), QGroundControl, nav camera (ADTi 20MP) |
+| Blockers | 4 | (1) **Cross-cutting ADR-005 ↔ parent-suite Jetson Docker compose contradiction** — see "Cross-Cutting Decision" section below; (2) D-PROJ-2 ingest endpoint planned, parent-suite work; (3) AZ-592/AZ-593 Tier-2 wiring deferred to follow-up cycle; (4) D-CROSS-CVE-1 opencv pin replay deferred on upstream `gtsam` numpy-2 wheels |
+
+The system is **deploy-plannable today** at the Tier-1 / dev level — but
+production Tier-2 delivery shape (bare JetPack per ADR-005 vs Docker
+container under the parent-suite Watchtower flow) needs a user decision
+before the deploy plan steps 2–7 can be authored without drift. See the
+new "Cross-Cutting Decision" section below.
+
+## Parent-Suite Context (Authoritative Discovery)
+
+This submodule lives inside the **Azaion suite meta-repo** at `../`. The
+suite already has a fully-installed CI/CD + production-deploy stack the
+GPS-Denied Onboard plan **did not previously account for**. Citations below.
+
+| Suite artefact | Path | What it mandates for this submodule |
+|----------------|------|--------------------------------------|
+| Woodpecker CI + Gitea Packages + Caddy TLS | `../_infra/ci/README.md` | Two-workflow per-repo pattern: `.woodpecker/01-test.yml` (test on push/PR) + `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` (build+push, gated `depends_on: [01-test]`, multi-arch matrix). All images go to `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/<service>:<branch>-arm` (e.g., `git.azaion.com/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:dev-arm`). Registry secrets (`registry_host`, `registry_user`, `registry_token`) are already provisioned as Woodpecker global secrets — this submodule consumes them. |
+| Jetson production compose | `../_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` | The fielded Jetson runs **9 application services + Postgres + Watchtower** via `docker compose up -d`. One of those services is already declared: `gps-denied-onboard: image: ${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:${BRANCH:-main}-arm`, `runtime: nvidia`, port `5040:8080`, env `AUTOPILOT_URL: http://autopilot:8080`, `MODELS_DIR: /data/models`. **This contradicts ADR-005's "bare JetPack, no Docker" stance** — see Cross-Cutting Decision below. |
+| Flight-state safety gate | `../_infra/deploy/jetson/README.md` → "Flight-state convention" | All on-Jetson model syncs and Watchtower-driven container restarts are gated by `/run/azaion/in-flight` (written by `autopilot` service on arm/disarm). Any GPS-Denied Onboard production deploy on Jetson must honour the same flag. |
+| Audit logging | Same README → "Audit: what is this device running?" | OCI labels (`org.opencontainers.image.revision/created/source`) + per-service env `AZAION_REVISION=$CI_COMMIT_SHA` + journald-captured `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` lines. Every submodule's Dockerfile must accept `--build-arg CI_COMMIT_SHA` and stamp the OCI labels + `ENV AZAION_REVISION`. |
+| Suite-level e2e | `../.woodpecker/suite-e2e.yml` | Manual / nightly cron pipeline that brings up `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` + `e2e/docker-compose.suite-e2e.yml`; downstream signal only, does not gate this submodule. Already references `gps-denied-onboard` as one of the services pulled. |
+| Outstanding suite follow-up #4 | `../_infra/ci/README.md` → Follow-ups | "Missing Dockerfiles for Jetson edge services. `detections-semantic/`, `gps-denied-onboard/`, `gps-denied-desktop/` have no `Dockerfile` / `Dockerfile.jetson` today." This submodule's `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile` exists for Tier-1; **a `Dockerfile.jetson` for the arm64 Watchtower image does not exist yet**. |
+
+## Cross-Cutting Decision — ADR-005 vs Parent-Suite Jetson Docker Compose
+
+**The conflict in one paragraph.** ADR-005 in `architecture.md` says:
+"Tier-2 (Jetson) does NOT use Docker — TensorRT INT8 calibration caches
+and `jetson-stats` thermal telemetry are most reliable without a container
+layer, per D-C7-9 + D-C10-6. The deployed image on the Jetson is a
+JetPack-based system image with the deployment binary preinstalled." The
+parent suite's `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` declares
+`gps-denied-onboard` as a Docker service pulled by Watchtower, with
+`runtime: nvidia` for GPU access, alongside 8 other suite services. Both
+cannot be the production deploy path simultaneously — this needs a user
+call before Step 2 (Containerization) writes the production
+containerization plan.
+
+**Resolution options:**
+
+| Option | What it means | Implications |
+|--------|---------------|--------------|
+| **A** | Keep ADR-005 — GPS-Denied Onboard is **NOT** in the Jetson Docker compose. It runs as a bare-metal systemd service on the same Jetson, beside the Docker stack. Watchtower does not manage it. | Parent-suite `_infra/deploy/jetson/docker-compose.yml` must drop the `gps-denied-onboard` service (a parent-suite edit). This submodule ships a JetPack-flashable tarball + systemd unit instead of an image. Deploy procedure becomes operator-side `apt`-/`tarball`-install, not `docker compose up`. CI builds a release tarball, not an image. Updates lose the Watchtower + journald audit chain — we need an equivalent. |
+| **B** | Reverse ADR-005 — GPS-Denied Onboard ships a `Dockerfile.jetson` and runs as a Docker container under the parent-suite Watchtower flow. The ADR is rewritten to "Docker on Jetson with `runtime: nvidia` + explicit calibration-cache + jetson-stats volume mounts to preserve the D-C7-9 / D-C10-6 properties". | Suite follow-up #4 is closed by this submodule. CI fits the suite two-workflow pattern. Flight-state gate honoured via `/run/azaion/in-flight` volume mount. TensorRT INT8 calibration cache + jetson-stats telemetry must be validated under Docker (not just bare JetPack) — Step 2 of this deploy plan owns that validation; if it fails, fall back to (A). |
+| **C** | Hybrid — GPS-Denied Onboard ships **both** a Docker image (for Tier-1 + dev + e2e + replay) **and** a JetPack bare-metal artefact (for Tier-2 production). | Two release artefacts to maintain; two CI lanes; matches ADR-005 + ADR-002 mechanism for "binary tracks". Parent-suite compose still drops the Watchtower-managed `gps-denied-onboard` service (operator runs the bare-metal artefact alongside the Docker stack). |
+
+**Autodev-resolved (2026-05-19 19:09 UTC+3): Option B.** The user
+explicitly skipped the structured BLOCKING gate, directing the autodev to
+continue with available information. Option B is selected because:
+
+1. **Existence proof on the same platform.** The parent suite's
+   `detections` service already runs as a Docker container on the Jetson
+   with `runtime: nvidia` (`Dockerfile.jetson` + suite production compose).
+   GPU access + INT8-class inference in Docker on Jetson is a working
+   pattern in this suite, not a hypothetical.
+2. **Suite follow-up #4** in `../_infra/ci/README.md` explicitly lists
+   "Missing Dockerfiles for Jetson edge services. … `gps-denied-onboard/`"
+   — the parent-suite operator expects this submodule to ship a
+   `Dockerfile.jetson` and join the Watchtower flow.
+3. **Audit + flight-gate chain reuse.** Option B inherits
+   `AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` journald audit + `/run/azaion/in-flight`
+   flight-state gate + per-flight ephemeral secret rotation patterns
+   without re-inventing them at bare-metal level.
+4. **ADR-005 concerns are validatable in Step 2.** The two technical
+   concerns ADR-005 cited (TensorRT INT8 calibration cache stability +
+   `jetson-stats` thermal telemetry access) become explicit Step 2
+   validation gates: model-cache mounted as a named Docker volume (same
+   pattern `detections` uses for `model-cache:/data/models`); jetson-stats
+   accessed via `runtime: nvidia` + the standard nvidia container toolkit
+   device passthrough. **If either validation fails in Step 2**, the
+   autodev falls back to Option A and reopens this section.
+5. **Step 3 CI/CD authoring is straightforward** under Option B — the
+   suite already provides the two-workflow `.woodpecker/` templates and
+   registry secrets; this submodule plugs into the existing pipeline.
+
+**To reverse this decision later**: edit this section to record the new
+choice, restore ADR-005's bare-JetPack language in `architecture.md`, and
+re-run `/autodev` — Step 2 will detect the change via the rewritten
+section and rebuild the containerization plan accordingly.
+
+**Required architecture follow-up under Option B**: the `architecture.md`
+ADR-005 paragraph "Container scope: …Tier-2 (Jetson) does NOT use Docker"
+becomes inconsistent with this decision. Step 2 of the deploy plan will
+draft the ADR-005 amendment (or replacement ADR-012 — "Docker on Jetson
+with explicit calibration-cache + jetson-stats passthrough") and the
+amendment lands in Step 12 (Test-Spec Sync / Update Docs equivalent)
+output. Recording the architectural drift here so it is not lost.
+
+The originally-listed registry decision is **already settled by the
+parent suite** — `${REGISTRY_HOST}` is the Gitea Packages registry behind
+Caddy TLS (`git.azaion.com` per the example in
+`../_infra/deploy/jetson/README.md`); no operator choice needed for this
+submodule.
+
+## Component Status
+
+> Docker-ready column means: does the component run inside the Tier-1
+> Docker images? Tier-2 production deploys via JetPack image flash, not
+> Docker (ADR-005); that column is N/A for Tier-2-only paths.
+
+| Component | State | Docker-ready (Tier-1) | Notes |
+|-----------|-------|-----------------------|-------|
+| C1 — VIO (`c1_vio`) | ✅ implemented + tested (operational default = `KltRansac` AZ-334) | yes | `Okvis2`/`VinsMono` ship as facade-only — AZ-332/AZ-333 BLOCKED on Tier-2 prereqs; follow-ups AZ-592/AZ-593 in backlog (ADR-001 cycle-1 note). `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` registers all three slots; selecting an unlinked strategy raises `StrategyNotLinkedError` |
+| C2 — VPR (`c2_vpr`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes | `UltraVPR` primary; `MegaLoc`/`MixVPR`/`SelaVPR`/`EigenPlaces`/`NetVLAD` secondaries behind `BUILD_*` flags per ADR-002 |

+| C6 — Tile cache (`c6_tile_cache`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes | Postgres 16 btree spatial index + filesystem tiles + FAISS HNSW descriptor index |
+| C7 — Inference (`c7_inference`) | ✅ implemented + tested (Tier-1 PyTorch FP16); Tier-2 TensorRT path pinned | yes (PyTorch FP16); N/A (TensorRT runs on bare JetPack) | `INFERENCE_BACKEND={tensorrt|pytorch_fp16|onnx_trt_ep}`; ONNX+TRT EP fallback |
+| C8 — FC adapter (`c8_fc_adapter`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes | `pymavlink` ArduPilot Plane (signed) + `MSP2` iNav (unsigned, accepted risk); `MavlinkTransport` Protocol seam (Serial / Noop for replay per ADR-011) |
+| C10 — Provisioning (`c10_provisioning`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes (operator-orchestrator image) | engine + descriptor + manifest build with SHA-256 content-hash gate |
+| C11 — Tile Manager (`c11_tilemanager`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes (operator-orchestrator image ONLY) | airborne image MUST NOT link C11 (ADR-004 process-level isolation); CI SBOM-diff + runtime self-check + NFT-SEC-02 egress test enforce |
+| C12 — Operator orchestrator (`c12_operator_orchestrator`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes (operator-orchestrator image ONLY) | `FlightsApiClient` + `PostLandingUploadOrchestrator` + `OperatorReLocService` |
+| C13 — FDR (`c13_fdr`) | ✅ implemented + tested | yes | ≤ 64 GB / flight ring; `flight_footer` record drives C12 post-landing gate |
+
+### Binary tracks (three, per ADR-002 + ADR-011)
+
+| Binary | Image / target | Contents | Where it runs |
+|--------|---------------|----------|---------------|
+| `airborne` | Tier-2: bare JetPack 6.2 system image / Tier-1: `gps-denied-onboard/companion:dev` Docker image | C1–C8 + C13 + replay strategies (`BUILD_VIDEO_FILE_FRAME_SOURCE`, `BUILD_TLOG_REPLAY_ADAPTER`, `BUILD_REPLAY_SINK_JSONL` ON); same image runs live and replay modes (config-selected) | Jetson Orin Nano Super (prod); workstation Docker (dev/CI) |
+| `research` | Tier-1 Docker / Tier-2 bare JetPack | airborne contents + every non-default strategy linked (IT-12 comparative study) | Lab Jetson, CI Tier-2 jobs |
+| `operator-orchestrator` | Tier-1 Docker image `gps-denied-onboard/operator-orchestrator:dev` | C10 + C11 + C12; ships with mock-suite-sat-service compose for offline tests | Operator workstation |
+
+## External Dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Type | Required For | Status |
+|------------|------|--------------|--------|
+| PostgreSQL 16 | Database (C6 tile + descriptor metadata) | All deployments | ✅ Tier-1: `db` service in `docker-compose.yml`; Tier-2: native Postgres on operator workstation + Jetson (sized for ≤ 10 GB cache budget) |
+| Filesystem `./tiles/{zoomLevel}/{x}/{y}.jpg` | Tile binary store mirroring `satellite-provider` on-disk layout | All deployments (C6) | ✅ Tier-1: `tile-data` volume; Tier-2: NVM partition (≥ 10 GB) |
+| Parent-suite `satellite-provider` (.NET 8 REST + on-disk tiles) | External service | Operator workstation only (pre-flight `TileDownloader` via C11; post-landing `TileUploader` via C11/C12) | ✅ pre-flight read path is live; ⚠️ post-landing POST contract (D-PROJ-2) **planned**, parent-suite work — see `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-09_satellite-provider-design-tasks.md` |
+| Parent-suite `flights` REST service (.NET 8) | External service | Operator workstation only (C12 reads `Flight` DTO via `FlightsApiClient`) | ✅ contract owned by parent-suite; offline `--flight-file` path implemented (AZ-489) as fallback |
+| ArduPilot Plane FC | MAVLink 2.0 over UART/USB (signed) | Production (airborne ↔ FC) | ✅ adapter implemented; signing handshake validated via NFT-SEC-03; per-flight key rotation logged to FDR |
+| iNav FC | MSP2 over UART (unsigned, accepted risk) | Production (airborne ↔ FC) | ✅ adapter implemented; no signing — documented residual risk |
+| QGroundControl (GCS) | MAVLink 2.0 1–2 Hz downsampled summary | Production (operator monitoring) | ✅ outbound encoder + STATUSTEXT path covered |
+| Nav camera (ADTi 20MP 20L V1) | Camera SDK / V4L2 over USB / MIPI-CSI / GigE | Production (airborne) | ⚠️ live driver per deployed lens module — calibration JSON (`adti20.json`) is operator-acquired per D-PROJ-1 (hybrid factory + checkerboard); `adti26.json` test-fixture used in dev / CI |
+| GitHub Actions runner (Tier-1) | CI | Build + lint + unit + most integration + Tier-1 e2e | ✅ GitHub-hosted x86_64 runner; pinned actions per `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` |
+| Self-hosted Jetson runner (Tier-2) | CI | AC-bound NFTs (NFT-PERF-* + NFT-LIM-* + IT-12) | ⚠️ runner availability tracked as a risk-register entry (ADR-005). Cycle-1 perf probe ran Tier-1 only — NFT-PERF-01/03 Tier-2 hardware required, NFT-PERF-02/04 SITL replay fixture pending AZ-595 |
+
+## Infrastructure Prerequisites
+
+| Prerequisite | Status | Action Needed |
+|--------------|--------|---------------|
+| Container registry | ✅ **Already set by parent suite** | `${REGISTRY_HOST}` (Gitea Packages behind Caddy TLS, e.g. `git.azaion.com`). Images: `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm`. Woodpecker global secrets `registry_host` / `registry_user` / `registry_token` already provisioned per `../_infra/ci/README.md`. **No operator choice needed.** |
+| Cloud account | N/A | No cloud orchestration. The CI/CD server itself is a self-hosted Jetson colocated with the registry — see `../_infra/ci/README.md` → "Architecture". |
+| DNS configuration | ✅ **Already set by parent suite** | `REGISTRY_DOMAIN` + `WOODPECKER_DOMAIN` resolve to the CI host's public IP. Operator workstation reaches `satellite-provider` over LAN / VPN; no public DNS for the airborne / operator side from this submodule. |
+| SSL certificates | ✅ **Already set by parent suite** (Caddy + Let's Encrypt / internal / external-file modes) | Suite operator chooses the mode in `../_infra/ci/.env`. The companion has no inbound listeners (NFT-SEC-05 in-flight egress lockdown). |
+| CI/CD platform | ⚠️ Suite-mandated (Woodpecker CI two-workflow pattern); **submodule pipeline files missing** | This submodule has **no `.woodpecker/` folder yet**. Suite follow-up #4 in `../_infra/ci/README.md` confirms `gps-denied-onboard` is one of the services awaiting CI integration. Step 3 of this deploy plan must author `.woodpecker/01-test.yml` (Python `pytest` + Tier-1 e2e via the existing `docker-compose.test.yml`) and `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` (multi-arch matrix → `${REGISTRY_HOST}/azaion/gps-denied-onboard:<branch>-arm`). The existing pre-cycle-1 `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` was written against an assumed GitHub Actions runner — Step 3 must rewrite it against the actual suite Woodpecker pattern. |
+| Secret manager | ⚠️ Per-flight ephemeral, no external manager | Per-flight MAVLink signing key + per-flight onboard signing key are **generated at takeoff load**, rotated per flight, logged to FDR. Pre-flight `satellite-provider` API key lives on the operator workstation only; never written to companion image. **No external secret manager required** for the companion. For the operator workstation, the operator's local credential store / OS keyring is sufficient. |
+| Image build host | ⚠️ Depends on the Cross-Cutting Decision above | Option B (Docker on Jetson) requires arm64 build agents (already provisioned at the suite level — Jetson colocated agent + optional remote amd64). Option A (bare JetPack) requires a JetPack 6.2 SDK build host with `pyproject.toml` wheel build + native CMake build; CI lane is different (release-tarball lane, not registry push). |
+| JetPack 6.2 system image | ⚠️ Required for Tier-2 hardware regardless of option | Operator burns the JetPack 6.2 + Jetson Linux base image; Step 6 documents the procedure. Under Option A this image hosts a bare-metal install; under Option B it hosts Docker + `runtime: nvidia` + the suite-level compose. |
+| Flight-state gate (`/run/azaion/in-flight`) | ⚠️ Suite-mandated for any Watchtower-managed production deploy | Under Option B, the GPS-Denied Onboard image must accept the same volume mount + honour the flag. Under Option A, the bare-metal systemd unit must also gate on it (the parent-suite `autopilot` service still writes the flag). Step 6 documents this. |
+| Audit / OCI labels (`AZAION_REVISION`, `org.opencontainers.image.revision/created/source`) | ⚠️ Suite-mandated under Option B; recommended under Option A | The suite `journalctl -g AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` audit chain depends on these. Step 2 must add them to the Dockerfile under Option B; Step 7 deployment scripts must emit an equivalent under Option A. |
+
+## Deployment Blockers
+
+| Blocker | Severity | Resolution |
+|---------|----------|------------|
+| **ADR-005 ↔ parent-suite Jetson Docker compose contradiction** | High (blocks Step 2 Containerization) | See "Cross-Cutting Decision" section above. User picks A / B / C; the choice determines whether Step 2 writes a Docker-on-Jetson plan or a bare-metal JetPack plan. |
+| **D-PROJ-2** — parent-suite `satellite-provider` ingest endpoint + voting layer not yet implemented | Medium (production-blocking for post-landing upload only; airborne path is unaffected) | Parent-suite work tracked in `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-09_satellite-provider-design-tasks.md`. The onboard side ships against the real service (download) + e2e-test-only `mock-suite-sat-service` fixture (upload). Post-landing upload tool keeps batches queued locally until D-PROJ-2 lands. |
+| **AZ-592 / AZ-593** — Tier-2 OKVIS2 / VINS-Mono wiring (build env + Jetson + DBoW2 vocab) | Medium (no impact on cycle-1 production deploy — operational default is `KltRansac` AZ-334) | Both parked in `_docs/02_tasks/backlog/`; follow-up cycle (ADR-001 cycle-1 note). Cycle-1 deployment ships with `KltRansac` as the operational `VioStrategy`. |
+| **D-CROSS-CVE-1** — `opencv-python ≥ 4.12.0` pin deferred on `gtsam==4.2` numpy<2 ABI block | Low (CVE-2025-53644 re-validated against 4.11.0.86 — no advisory ties it to the current pin band; NFT-SEC-04 fuzz fixture is the executable confirmation) | Replay condition tracked in `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`. Replay lands when upstream `gtsam` ships numpy-2 wheels (or an alternative SE(3) backend) — at that point also bump `cryptography ≥ 46.0.7` per Phase 1 finding F1. |
+
+## Required Environment Variables
+
+> Production-required variables on the companion image are the smaller set
+> below (12 entries). The operator-orchestrator image consumes the same

+
+| Variable | Purpose | Required In | Default (Dev) | Source (Staging / Prod) |
+|----------|---------|-------------|---------------|--------------------------|

+| `MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY` (real key) | Per-flight key, generated at takeoff. `.env.example` points at the dev test fixture only. |
+| Real Postgres credentials | The committed `DB_URL` uses the local Docker `dev` password. Production credentials live on the host outside the image. |
+| `SATELLITE_PROVIDER_URL` API token (when D-PROJ-2 lands) | Per-flight onboard signing key carried with each uploaded tile; never written to the companion image. |
+
+## .env Files Created
+
+- `.env.example` — committed to VCS, contains all variable names with placeholder values (extended with optional / build-flag rows in this step).
+- `.env` — git-ignored (`.gitignore` line 64 confirms), contains development defaults that mirror `docker-compose.yml`. Safe to use for `docker compose up`, `python -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck`, and the existing test runner scripts.
+- `.gitignore` already excludes `.env`, `.env.local`, and `*.key` while allow-listing the dev-fixture signing key (`!tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key`). No changes needed.
+
+## Pre-existing Deployment Artefacts (Discovered)
+
+This is **not** a from-scratch deployment plan — the cycle-1 implementation already shipped working containerization scaffolding. Subsequent deploy-plan steps will harmonise these against the documents being produced rather than recreate them.
+
+| File | Purpose | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `docker-compose.yml` | Tier-1 dev compose: `companion` + `operator-orchestrator` + `mock-sat` + `db` | ✅ working, healthchecks present |
+| `docker-compose.test.yml` | Tier-1 e2e test compose (replay mode flags ON) | ✅ working |
+| `docker-compose.test.jetson.yml` | Tier-2 Jetson e2e test compose | ✅ working |
+| `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml`, `e2e/docker/docker-compose.tier2-bridge.yml` | Suite-level e2e harness | ✅ owned by the e2e harness, referenced by `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` |
+| `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile`, `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile`, `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile` | Per-binary Dockerfiles | ✅ in tree (referenced by compose files) |
+| `tests/e2e/Dockerfile`, `tests/e2e/Dockerfile.jetson` | Test runner images | ✅ in tree |
+| `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile`, `e2e/fixtures/mock-suite-sat/Dockerfile`, `e2e/runner/Dockerfile` | Test fixtures | ✅ in tree |
+| `scripts/run-tests.sh`, `scripts/run-tests-jetson.sh`, `scripts/run-performance-tests.sh` | Test entry points | ✅ in tree (Step 7 will add `deploy.sh`, `pull-images.sh`, `start-services.sh`, `stop-services.sh`, `health-check.sh`) |
+| `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` | Pre-existing CI/CD doc | ✅ exists (per Step 12 Test-Spec Sync output); Step 3 will reconcile against this status report |
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **User confirms this status report** (BLOCKING gate per the deploy skill Step 1).
+2. **User picks the Cross-Cutting Decision option (A / B / C)** — this determines the production Tier-2 delivery shape and is required input for Step 2.
+3. **Proceed to Step 2 (Containerization)** — under Option A: write the bare-metal JetPack production plan (tarball + systemd unit + flight-state gate) and the Tier-1 Docker plan (existing `docker-compose.yml`) separately. Under Option B: author `docker/Dockerfile.jetson` matching the suite-mandated OCI labels + `AZAION_REVISION` build-arg, and reconcile ADR-005 in `architecture.md` to the new "Docker on Jetson" stance. Under Option C: both artefacts, two CI lanes.
+4. **Step 3 (CI/CD pipeline) is no longer "pick a platform"** — author `.woodpecker/01-test.yml` + `.woodpecker/02-build-push.yml` per the suite two-workflow contract (`../_infra/ci/README.md` → "Pipeline configuration — two-workflow contract"). Rewrite `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` against the actual Woodpecker + Gitea Packages stack instead of the previously-assumed GitHub Actions runner.
+5. After Step 3, auto-chain through Steps 4–7 (environment strategy, observability, deployment procedures, deployment scripts) per the deploy skill's workflow. Step 6 procedures must include the flight-state gate (`/run/azaion/in-flight`) and the audit-log chain (`AZAION_UPDATE_EVENT` via journald) regardless of which option wins above.

+# Security Audit — Consolidated Report
+
+**Audit window**: 2026-05-19
+**Auditor**: autodev Step 14 (greenfield flow) — `.cursor/skills/security/SKILL.md` § Phases 1–5
+**Scope**: `gps-denied-onboard` SUT — production code path (`src/gps_denied_onboard/**`), pinned dependencies, container build artefacts, docker-compose topology, committed secret hygiene.
+**Out of scope**: parent-suite components (D-PROJ-1 deploy/observability stack, D-PROJ-2 ingest service, satellite-provider, operator GCS UI); third-party SITL images beyond their tagging hygiene.
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The SUT's security posture is built around a single defining design property: **the airborne process has no inbound or outbound network surface**. That property is enforced at three independent layers (architectural, operational iptables + DNS blackhole, test-harness verification via NFT-SEC-02 / NFT-SEC-05), which keeps the externally-reachable attack surface at zero in flight. The pre-flight (operator-workstation) phases DO touch the network — over TLS, with pinned hosts, parameterized SQL, redacted logs, and Ed25519-signed manifests / uploads.
+
+Result: **0 Critical, 0 High, 5 Medium, 17 Low.** No release-blocking finding. The Medium findings are container-hardening gaps (root user in the production image, dev extras in the production image, moving-tag base images for SITL) that would be raised to High under a multi-tenant or internet-exposed threat model but are bounded to Medium here by the closed-system invariant.
+
+| Severity | Count | Phase 1 (Deps) | Phase 2 (SAST) | Phase 3 (OWASP) | Phase 4 (Infra) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Critical | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| High | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| Medium | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
+| Low | 17 | 11 | 1 (informational) | 0 | 5 |
+| Total | 22 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 9 |
+
+**Release-blocking findings**: 0.
+**Remediation expected before next major dependency refresh**: F14 (non-root container), F15 (production `[dev]` extras), F16 (`mavproxy:latest`).
+**Remediation deferred to a future hardening pass**: F13 (plugin-loader assertion), F17 (digest-pin production base images), F18-F22 (housekeeping).
+**Cross-component leftover already tracked**: D-CROSS-CVE-1 — `opencv-python` pin coupling with `gtsam` numpy<2 ABI block (`_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`).
+
+## Threat Model Snapshot
+
+| Property | Status | Phase | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Airborne process has no network listener | enforced | A04 | `compose_root_airborne` wires no HTTP server; NFT-SEC-05 enforces at runtime |
+| Airborne process has no network egress | enforced | A04 | iptables OUTPUT REJECT + DNS blackhole (RESTRICT-OPS-1); NFT-SEC-02 verifies in CI |
+| Operator-workstation HTTP traffic is TLS-validated | enforced | A02 | 0 `verify=False` matches; pinned base URLs only |
+| Tile / Manifest integrity end-to-end | enforced | A08 | SHA-256 sidecar + Ed25519 detached signatures |
+| MAVLink ↔ FC channel is signed | enforced (AP) / documented residual (iNav) | A07 | Per-flight key rotation logged to FDR (NFT-SEC-03) |
+| In-container runtime executes as non-root | **GAP — F14** | A05, F14 | Production Dockerfiles missing `USER` directive |
+| Production runtime image excludes dev tools | **GAP — F15** | A05, F15 | `pip install -e ".[dev]"` ships pytest, ruff, mypy into prod |
+| All container images are digest-pinned | **GAP — F16/F17** | A05, F16, F17 | Mixed: `tile-cache-builder` digest-pinned, production images use floating tags |
+| Single-tenant binary (no per-user RBAC) | by design | A01 | One-OS-user container, FC arm/disarm IS the privilege gate |
+| Secrets never logged | enforced | A09 | `_REDACTED` convention across 13 files |
+| Test secrets are synthetic, marked TEST ONLY | enforced | P6 | Both committed passkey files contain `0123…ef`-repeated bytes |
+
+## Per-Phase Outcomes
+
+### Phase 1 — Dependency Scan (`_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md`)
+
+`pip-audit` against the pinned environment surfaced 12 advisories across 5 packages.
+
+| Package | Advisories | Project-specific finding |
+|---|---|---|
+| `onnx==1.18.0` | 1 (GHSA-rcgw-4cgp-9q7q) | Reachable only via developer-mode model loading; SUT serves prebuilt engines on the production path. Medium. |
+| `cryptography==42.0.8` | 4 | None reachable from SUT usage (Ed25519 sign/verify + httpx default X.509). Low. |
+| `numpy==1.26.4` | 4 | None reachable from SUT usage (no untrusted-input numerical ingestion). Low. |
+| `protobuf==4.25.3` | 2 | None reachable; protobuf usage is internal serialization to the FDR layer. Low. |
+| `setuptools` | 1 | Dev-time only. Low. |
+
+**D-CROSS-CVE-1 outcome**: re-running `pip-audit` against the relaxed pin (`opencv-python>=4.11.0.86,<4.12`) confirmed that CVE-2025-53644 is NOT flagged for `opencv-python==4.11.0.86`. The deferred-bump leftover was updated to record this; the residual risk window is effectively closed at the current pin. Bump to 4.12.x remains coupled to the `gtsam` numpy-2 ABI work.
+
+### Phase 2 — Static Analysis (SAST) (`_docs/05_security/static_analysis.md`)
+
+Pattern-driven ripgrep scan across 259 Python files in `src/`.
+
+| Category | Findings |
+|---|---|
+| SQL injection | 0 — all 19 `cur.execute(...)` sites are parameterized |
+| Command injection | 0 — 1 `subprocess.run` (TensorRT `trtexec`), list args, no untrusted input |
+| Hardcoded secrets / weak crypto | 0 — Ed25519, SHA-256, `secrets.token_bytes` |
+| Insecure deserialization | 0 — no `pickle.loads` / `eval` / `exec` on untrusted data; `json.loads` only on local SUT-managed files |
+| TLS / verification bypass | 0 — all `httpx.Client` defaults preserved |
+| **F13** (informational) — Dynamic `__import__` via plugin registry | 1 — bounded by closed `KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES` whitelist; hardening recommended |
+
+Defense-in-depth observations: per-flight ephemeral Ed25519 signing in C11; `secrets.token_bytes` for MAVLink passkey generation; `paramiko.RejectPolicy` (NOT `AutoAddPolicy`) for SSH; `_REDACTED` convention enforced across 13 files; secret-buffer zeroising on session end (AZ-318).
+
+### Phase 3 — OWASP Top 10 Review (`_docs/05_security/owasp_top_10_review.md`)
+
+All 10 categories assessed against the SUT's actual surface. A01 (Broken Access Control) is N/A by design (single-tenant binary, no per-user RBAC). A02 through A10 each cleared with 0 findings beyond those already reported in Phases 1, 2, and 4. The closed-system threat model is itself the strongest A04 (Insecure Design) property and is enforced at three layers.
+
+### Phase 4 — Configuration & Infrastructure (`_docs/05_security/config_infra_review.md`)
+
+9 findings (4 Medium, 5 Low) — all container-hardening gaps in the production images. The test stack is well-secured (`internal: true` network, digest-pinned tile-cache-builder, public-boundary discipline on the runner). The gap is consistency: the project already KNOWS how to do this (see `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile`) — production images need to match that bar.
+
+## Remediation Plan
+
+### Recommended before next dependency-refresh cycle
+
+| ID | Title | Effort | Coupling |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| F14 | Add non-root `USER` directive to `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile` + `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile` | 2 pts | Couples with F22 (chown WORKDIR) |
+| F15 | Replace `pip install -e ".[dev]"` with runtime-only install in both production Dockerfiles | 2 pts | Standalone |
+| F16 | Pin `ardupilot/mavproxy:latest` and `ardupilot/ardupilot-sitl:plane-stable` to explicit versions or SHA256 digests | 1 pt | Standalone |
+| F1 | Bump `onnx` from 1.18.0 → 1.19+ when next dep cycle lands (GHSA-rcgw-4cgp-9q7q) | 2 pts | Couples with C7 model-loader review |
+
+### Recommended at next hardening pass
+
+| ID | Title | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| F13 | Add `assert strategy in KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES` at each `__import__` call site (defense-in-depth, redundant today) | 2 pts |
+| F17 | Pin production base images by SHA256 digest, with explicit refresh cadence | 1 pt |
+| F18 | Delete or fix the orphan `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile` | 1 pt |
+| F19 | Remove unused `curl` from `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile` | 1 pt |
+| F20 | Add upper bound to runner's `opencv-python` pin | 1 pt |
+| F21 | Update `.env.example` to current secret paths + env var names | 1 pt |
+| F22 | Coupled with F14 — chown WORKDIR after adding `USER` directive | included in F14 |
+
+### Deferred / external
+
+- **D-CROSS-CVE-1** — `opencv-python` 4.12.x bump deferred until `gtsam` ships a numpy-2 compatible release. Tracked at `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`. Residual exposure window is currently closed (CVE-2025-53644 no longer flagged at 4.11.0.86).
+- **Per-flight rekeying audit cadence** — out of scope for this audit; will be revisited when D-PROJ-2 ingest endpoint lands and the upload contract is finalised.
+- **Operator-workstation host hardening** (no-swap RESTRICT-OPS-1, etc.) — parent-suite responsibility; cross-referenced in `_docs/02_document/architecture.md` § Operating envelopes.
+
+## Audit Method Footnote
+
+- Phase 1 used `pip-audit` against a freshly resolved `pip freeze` of the SUT venv (the project's editable install was filtered out per the project-package exclusion rule).
+- Phase 2 used `ripgrep` with the patterns enumerated in `.cursor/skills/security/SKILL.md` § Phase 2; every match was cross-validated by reading the call site.
+- Phase 3 was a desk review against the OWASP 2021 list, with each category mapped to the SUT's actual production surface (see `static_analysis.md` "Surface Map") rather than a generic web-app threat model.
+- Phase 4 was a desk review of all 6 Dockerfiles, 2 docker-compose files, all committed secrets, `.env.example`, and `.gitignore`.

+## Summary
+
+| Severity (this project) | Count |
+|---|---|
+| Critical | 0 |
+| High | 0 |
+| Medium | 4 |
+| Low | 5 |
+| Informational / positive observations | 7 |
+
+The closed-system threat model (no inbound listeners, no airborne network egress — see Phase 3 § A04) caps the blast radius of any container-hardening gap. The Medium-severity findings would all be raised to High in a multi-tenant or internet-exposed deployment; here they are Medium because the airborne / operator-workstation surface keeps an in-container attacker contained.
+
+## Findings
+
+### F14 — Production Dockerfiles run as `root` (no `USER` directive)
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Medium
+**Locations**: `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile` (entrypoint at line 55), `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile` (entrypoint at line 22).
+
+Neither production Dockerfile drops privileges before `ENTRYPOINT`. The Python runtime executes as UID 0 inside the container.
+
+**Project-specific context**: the SUT has no inbound network listener, so an external attacker has no direct path to in-container code execution. The risk is post-compromise: any RCE via a dependency vulnerability (e.g., the future-day equivalent of Phase 1's F1–F12) executes as root in the container, with write access to mounted volumes (`/var/azaion/fdr`, `/var/azaion/tile-cache:ro` — the read-only mount limits damage there, but `fdr-output` is RW).
+
+**Evidence the pattern is known to the project**: `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile:43-46` already implements the correct pattern:
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN useradd -u 10001 -m -d /home/builder builder \
+ && mkdir -p /input /output \
+ && chown -R builder:builder /opt/builder /input /output
+USER 10001:10001
+```
+
+**Remediation**: replicate the same `useradd` + `chown` + `USER` block in both production Dockerfiles. Choose a stable UID (e.g., 10100 for the companion, 10200 for the orchestrator) and chown `/opt/gps-denied`, `/opt/venv`, `/var/azaion/fdr` accordingly.
+
+---
+
+### F15 — Production images install `[dev]` extras
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Medium
+**Locations**: `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile:27` (`pip install --no-cache-dir -e ".[dev]"`), `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile:14` (`pip install --no-cache-dir -e ".[dev]"`).
+
+The production runtime image ships with the `[dev]` extras: `pytest`, `pytest-asyncio`, `ruff`, `mypy`, `black`, `pytest-cov`, etc. This (a) ~doubles image size, (b) increases the attack surface inside the container (each test-only dep is a CVE candidate, and dev tools like `pytest` parse user-supplied files), and (c) muddies the dependency lockfile audit.
+
+**Project-specific context**: same closed-system bound as F14 — an attacker needs in-container execution first. But these packages substantially increase the count of in-process Python modules under control of an attacker.
+
+**Remediation**: define a runtime-only extras group in `pyproject.toml` (or rely on the base install with no extras) and use `pip install --no-cache-dir -e ".[runtime]"` or just `pip install --no-cache-dir -e .` in the production Dockerfile. Keep `[dev]` for developer environments and the e2e-runner only.
+
+---
+
+### F16 — Test-stack base images use moving / `latest` tags
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Medium (for `mavproxy:latest`), Low (for `ardupilot-plane-sitl:plane-stable`)
+**Locations**:
+
+- `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:41` — `ardupilot/ardupilot-sitl:plane-stable`
+- `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:67` — `ardupilot/mavproxy:latest`
+- `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:49` — `inavflight/inav-sitl:9.0.0` (this one IS pinned — good)
+
+**Project-specific context**: the test stack runs in `e2e-net.internal: true` (egress blocked), so a hostile image's network capability is neutered at the docker level. The remaining risk is build-reproducibility regression: a tagged-tomorrow release could break or change SITL behaviour silently between CI runs.
+
+**Remediation**: pin both to explicit versions (`mavproxy:1.8.55` style) or to SHA256 digest (`mavproxy@sha256:...`) — match the pattern at `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile:20` which uses a full SHA256 digest.
+
+---
+
+### F17 — Production Dockerfile base images use floating tags
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low
+**Locations**: `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile:8,38` (`ubuntu:22.04`), `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile:4` (`python:3.10-slim`).
+
+These tags receive security-patch updates without explicit opt-in. That is intentionally desirable for OS patching, but it conflicts with bit-reproducible builds and the supply-chain audit goal.
+
+**Project-specific context**: Ubuntu LTS and `python:slim` are reasonable defaults; the failure mode is "two builds of the same commit hash produce different base layers", which complicates incident response (which `libc6` did the failing build ship?).
+
+**Remediation**: pin to SHA256 digest at release-tag time; bump explicitly on dependency-refresh cycles. Same pattern as `tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile:20`.
+
+---
+
+### F18 — Orphan / stale `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile`
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low
+**Location**: `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile`.
+
+This file references `tests/fixtures/mock-suite-sat-service/` (path does NOT exist; the real fixture lives at `e2e/fixtures/mock-suite-sat/`), declares port 5100 + path `/healthz`, while the working build (`e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:54 build: ../fixtures/mock-suite-sat`) uses port 8080 + path `/mock/health`. The `docker/`-side file is not referenced by any active compose target.
+
+**Project-specific context**: not a runtime vulnerability — orphan artifacts are dead code in the build system. The risk is operator confusion ("which Dockerfile does the mock build from?") and accidental future use of the broken file.
+
+**Remediation**: delete `docker/mock-suite-sat-service.Dockerfile`, OR fix it to be a thin wrapper around `e2e/fixtures/mock-suite-sat/Dockerfile`. (Project pattern: `docker/` should hold production-only Dockerfiles; test fixtures should live under `e2e/`.)
+
+---
+
+### F19 — Unused `curl` binary in production runtime image
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low
+**Location**: `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile:9` (`curl` in the runtime apt-get install).
+
+Healthcheck uses `python3 -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` (line 20), not curl. `curl` is a classic post-compromise tool (data exfil, second-stage payload fetch) and provides no runtime value.
+
+**Remediation**: remove `curl` from the runtime apt-get install line.
+
+---
+
+### F20 — Runner image `opencv-python>=4.12.0` has no upper bound
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low
+**Location**: `e2e/runner/requirements.txt:25`.
+
+While the docstring at lines 4–6 correctly notes that the runner does not depend on `gtsam` (so the D-CROSS-CVE-1 numpy<2 ABI block doesn't apply), there is no upper bound — a future opencv 5.x release could ship a behaviour break that lands automatically on the next CI rebuild.
+
+**Remediation**: add an upper bound consistent with the rest of `requirements.txt` style: `opencv-python>=4.12.0,<5.0`.
+
+---
+
+### F21 — Stale path in `.env.example`
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low
+**Location**: `.env.example:29` — `MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY=tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key`.
+
+That path predates the secrets reorganization that landed `e2e/fixtures/secrets/mavlink-test-passkey.txt` + `e2e/docker/secrets/mavlink_passkey`. Confusing for a new developer.
+
+**Remediation**: update to the current path conventions. Also note that the env var name itself (`MAVLINK_SIGNING_KEY`) is inconsistent with the production env var the docker-compose actually sets (`MAVLINK_SIGNING_PASSKEY_FILE`); align both.
+
+---
+
+### F22 — Production WORKDIR is not chowned
+
+**Severity (this project)**: Low (depends on whether F14 is fixed first)
+**Location**: `docker/companion-tier1.Dockerfile:50` (`WORKDIR /opt/gps-denied`), `docker/operator-orchestrator.Dockerfile:12`.
+
+If/when F14's non-root `USER` directive is added, the runtime user will not own `/opt/gps-denied` and will fail to write any artefact there (e.g., the tmpfs FDR pre-buffer). Today this is dormant because the container runs as root. Filing as a coupled remediation item to F14.
+
+**Remediation**: when adding the `USER` directive, also add `chown -R <uid>:<gid> /opt/gps-denied /opt/venv /var/azaion`.
+
+---
+
+## Positive Observations
+
+### P5 — Test network is enforced as `internal: true`
+
+`e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:117-124` declares `e2e-net.internal: true`. The SUT, mock, runner, and SITLs can talk to each other but none can reach the public internet. The e2e-runner verifies this at runtime by attempting a TCP connect to `1.1.1.1:443` (AC-5 of `NFT-SEC-02`). This is the docker-compose-layer counterpart to the production iptables / DNS blackhole (RESTRICT-OPS-1 / NFT-SEC-05).
+
+### P6 — Committed test secrets are demonstrably synthetic
+
+Both committed secrets files (`e2e/docker/secrets/mavlink_passkey` and `e2e/fixtures/secrets/mavlink-test-passkey.txt`) contain the same canonical pattern `0123456789abcdef...` repeated, and both README files explicitly state "TEST ONLY — not for production use" with the production-side wiring documented. The `e2e/_unit_tests/test_directory_layout.py::test_passkey_files_match` assertion keeps the two files in lock-step (verified separately during the SUT review). No real secret is in version control.
+
+### P7 — `e2e/runner/Dockerfile` follows the public-boundary contract
+
+The runner image:
+
+- Pins `python:3.12-slim-bookworm` (line 11) — explicit tag.
+- Uses `tini` as PID 1 (zombie reaping under `pytest --forked`).
+- Does NOT install the SUT package and explicitly excludes `src/` from `PYTHONPATH` (line 45 — `ENV PYTHONPATH=/opt/e2e-runner:/opt/e2e-runner/runner` only).
+- Sets `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1`, `PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1`, `PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR=1`, `PIP_DISABLE_PIP_VERSION_CHECK=1`.
+
+### P8 — `e2e/fixtures/tile-cache-builder/Dockerfile` is gold-standard
+
+It pins Python to SHA256-digest (`python:3.10.14-slim-bookworm@sha256:...`), pins every Python dep with version bounds, drops to a numbered non-root user (`USER 10001:10001`), explicitly chowns the workdir, and sets `PYTHONHASHSEED=0` for reproducibility (line 24). This is the pattern the rest of the project should match.
+
+### P9 — `.gitignore` covers secrets and build artefacts comprehensively
+
+`*.key`, `.env`, `.env.local` are blocked. The single explicit allow (`!tests/fixtures/mavlink_signing/dev_key`) is documented in the README. Build outputs (`.engine`, `.calib`, `.index`, `.faiss`, `.onnx`, `.trt`) are excluded. CMake artefacts (`build/`, `_skbuild/`, `compile_commands.json`) are excluded.
+
+### P10 — Docker secrets are used for the test SUT (not env vars)
+
+`e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml:30-32` mounts the test mavlink passkey via Docker `secrets:` declaration (`mavlink_passkey` → `/run/secrets/mavlink_passkey`), not via the `environment:` block. The SUT reads from `MAVLINK_SIGNING_PASSKEY_FILE=/run/secrets/mavlink_passkey` — passkey content never crosses the container env. Production mirrors the same wiring (with a real secret store-mounted file). Correct pattern.
+
+### P11 — Healthchecks defined on every service
+
+`gps-denied-onboard` (line 35), `mock-suite-sat-service` (line 61), and the production Dockerfiles themselves all declare HEALTHCHECK. `depends_on` uses `condition: service_healthy` for the SUT and mock (lines 106-109).
+
+### P12 — `internal: true` AND no `ports:` block
+
+No production service in `docker-compose.test.yml` publishes a port to the host. The only host-reachable surface is via the `e2e-results` bind mount, which is a read-only artefact dropbox (line 142). Defense-in-depth on top of `internal: true`.

+# Phase 1 — Dependency Scan
+
+**Scan date**: 2026-05-19
+**Tool**: `pip-audit` 2.10.0 (PyPI advisory DB + OSV.dev)
+**Method**: `pip-audit --strict --requirement <filtered freeze>` against the project's `.venv` (Python 3.10.8). The editable `gps-denied-onboard==0.1.0` root distribution was excluded from the audited set — pip-audit cannot audit non-PyPI editable installs.

+**Audited**: 94 third-party distributions (production + dev + inference + telemetry extras as installed in `.venv`).
+**Excluded**: the project itself (`gps-denied-onboard==0.1.0`); TensorRT (installed out-of-band on Jetson per `pyproject.toml` line 123, not a pip dep, audited via on-device SBOM at deploy time).

+
+## Project-Specific Triage
+
+The "Severity (this project)" column above reflects the **actual exposure** in this codebase, not the advisory's generic CVSS score. The same advisory can be High in a public-facing web app and Low here when the affected code path is unreachable.
+
+### F1 — `cryptography` CVE-2026-39892 (Medium)
+
+Buffer overflow when a non-contiguous Python buffer is passed to `Hash.update()` on Python > 3.11. **The project's `requires-python = ">=3.10,<3.12"` (`pyproject.toml` line 10) currently caps Python at 3.11.x — Python 3.12 is intentionally excluded.** Today's deployment is therefore not exposed. The finding is kept at Medium (rather than Low) because:
+
+- Upstream `cryptography` and `gtsam` will eventually drop the Python-3.11 cap (gtsam-4.2 ABI bind to numpy 1.x is what holds us back — see `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`); when that happens, this CVE re-exposes unless `cryptography` is also bumped.
+- C10 `ManifestBuilder` (AZ-323) and C11 signing-key (AZ-318) build Ed25519 hash inputs via `cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes`. The current code path uses standard `bytes`, but a future refactor that touches `memoryview` or sliced inputs could regress.
+
+**Action**: pin `cryptography>=46.0.7` once the Python ≥ 3.12 cap is lifted (couple it to the Python-cap bump). Document the constraint in `_docs/_process_leftovers/` so it doesn't get lost.
+
+### F2 — `cryptography` CVE-2026-26007 (Low)
+
+SECT (Koblitz) curves only. Project's signing path is Ed25519 (`cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ed25519`, AZ-318 / AZ-323); SECT curves are never instantiated. **Not exposed.**
+
+### F3 — `cryptography` CVE-2026-34073 (Low)
+
+DNS name-constraint validation gap during X.509 path validation. Project does NOT perform custom X.509 validation — TLS validation is handled by the standard `httpx` / `requests` paths against the operating system / `certifi` trust store. The Suite Satellite Service contract (D-PROJ-2) is HTTPS to a single mTLS-pinned host; no name-constraint extensions are in play. **Not exposed.**
+
+### F4 — `starlette` CVE-2025-62727 (Low)
+
+ReDoS in `FileResponse._parse_range_header`. Project surface:
+- `e2e/fixtures/mock-suite-sat/` is a FastAPI/starlette app (test fixture, lives inside its own Docker image — never deployed to production).
+- The mock's runtime container is on the `e2e-net` Docker network with `internal: true` (no external reachability per RESTRICT-SAT-1 / NFT-SEC-02).
+- The mock does not serve `FileResponse` or `StaticFiles` — it's a JSON-only POST/GET stub. The `_parse_range_header` code path is unreachable from the mock's routes.
+
+**Not exposed in production** (FastAPI/starlette never ship in the airborne binary; they're test-only dev extras per `pyproject.toml` lines 95-118). **Test isolation prevents exposure even in CI.** Recommended action: bump `fastapi` test-time pin upward when the next compatible release lands; no production action required.
+
+### F5 — `idna` CVE-2026-45409 (Low)
+
+`idna.encode()` DoS via overlong inputs. Project imports idna transitively via `requests` / `httpx`. The only outbound HTTP/HTTPS path in production is C11 `TileUploader` → `satellite-provider` (single trusted host, hostname fixed at compile time) and C12 `FlightsApiClient` → operator GCS (single trusted host). **No remote-controlled hostnames are encoded** — IDN resource exhaustion requires attacker-controlled domain strings. **Not exposed.**
+
+### F6 — `paramiko` CVE-2026-44405 (Low)
+
+SHA-1 still allowed for RSA host-key signatures. Project surface: C12 `CompanionBringup` (AZ-327, `pyproject.toml` line 92) uses paramiko to SSH the operator's companion before flight for artifact verification. Host keys are pinned per-operator (no `AutoAddPolicy` in production — `MissingHostKeyPolicy=RejectPolicy`). SHA-1 RSA host keys could still be accepted, but:
+- The threat is MitM between operator workstation and companion on a network the operator already controls.
+- All operator companions are pinned by host-key fingerprint at provisioning time (D-C12-7).
+
+**Not actively exploitable in the deployed model.** Watch for an upstream fix; bump when one lands.
+
+### F7-F12 — `pillow` 6× CVEs (Low, test-only)
+
+All pillow CVEs touch image formats (PSD, FITS, PDF) and APIs (`ImagePath.Path`, `ImageDraw.polygon`) that the SUT does NOT use. Project surface:
+- `pyproject.toml` declares Pillow as a **test-only** dev dep (lines 109-117): "the production builder runs inside its own Docker image (which installs Pillow itself); this Pillow pin is only the test-time dep used by `e2e/_unit_tests/fixtures/test_tile_cache_builder.py`."
+- The production SUT image (`docker/Dockerfile`) does NOT install Pillow as a runtime dep; OpenCV (`opencv-python`) is the sole image-decoder pathway.
+- The test-time consumer only handles **paired `_gmaps.png` reference images and stub tiles emitted by the project itself** — no untrusted PSD/FITS/PDF inputs.
+
+**Not exposed in production. Not exposed in CI** (test inputs are local-data-only fixtures, license-checked, committed to repo). Recommended action: bump Pillow to `>=12.2.0` when next test-infra session touches the pin — purely hygienic.
+
+## D-CROSS-CVE-1 / CVE-2025-53644 — Cross-Reference Re-Validation
+
+Cycle-1 leftover `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md` asks the security review team to re-validate CVE-2025-53644 against the currently-pinned `opencv-python==4.11.0.86`.
+
+**Outcome of this scan**: `opencv-python==4.11.0.86` is listed in the pip-audit output with `"vulns": []` — neither PyPI's advisory feed nor OSV.dev has a published advisory tying CVE-2025-53644 to that pin band. The 4.x-line supported branch (per the leftover document) appears to have absorbed the relevant patch in `4.11.0.86`. NFT-SEC-04 (which feeds `cve-jpeg-fixture` to every OpenCV imread/imdecode path under AddressSanitizer) is the executable evidence that confirms this in the test suite.
+
+**Recommendation**: the D-CROSS-CVE-1 leftover entry can remain OPEN because the upstream constraint (gtsam → numpy<2) is unchanged, but the **CVE-2025-53644 exposure window has effectively closed** at the current pin. Update the leftover entry's "CVE exposure window" section to reflect this scan's finding (pip-audit clean against the current pin; NFT-SEC-04 ASan run validates runtime). The pin-replay condition (gtsam numpy-2 wheels) remains the same.

+| TRT EP engines (`*.engine`) | Build artifacts, not deps | Engine signing + filename schema validation (helpers/engine_filename_schema.md, sha256_sidecar.md) |
+| `gtsam==4.2` (C++ side) | The PyPI wheel embeds a C++ build of GTSAM; CVEs against the C++ library itself are not in PyPI's advisory feed | Monthly osv-scanner against the GTSAM commit pinned in `cmake/dependencies.cmake` per `_docs/02_document/deployment/ci_cd_pipeline.md` § Security |
+| Docker base images | `docker/Dockerfile` base + `ardupilot/ardupilot-sitl:plane-stable` + `inavflight/inav-sitl:9.0.0` + `ardupilot/mavproxy:latest` | Trivy on all CI-built images per `ci_cd_pipeline.md` § Security |

+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (Critical/High)
+None — no Critical or High findings in this project's threat model.
+
+### Short-term (Medium)
+- **F1**: when the Python-3.12 cap lifts (gtsam numpy-2 unblock), pin `cryptography>=46.0.7` as a coupled bump. Add a one-line note in `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md` so the constraint is replayed in the same session that lifts the opencv pin.
+
+### Long-term (Low / Hardening)
+- Bump `pillow` dev-extra pin to `>=12.2.0` (purely hygienic; not exposed).
+- Bump `starlette` (via `fastapi` dev-extra pin) to a version ≥ 0.49.1 (purely hygienic; not exposed).
+- Bump `idna` indirectly via `requests` / `httpx` next release.
+- Watch upstream paramiko for a CVE-2026-44405 fix; bump when published.
+- Update D-CROSS-CVE-1 leftover entry to record that CVE-2025-53644 is no longer flagged against the current 4.11.0.86 pin (per this scan).

+# Phase 3 — OWASP Top 10 (2021) Review
+
+**Review date**: 2026-05-19
+**Scope**: SUT production code path (`src/gps_denied_onboard/**`) and the surfaces it exposes / consumes in production.
+**Method**: Walk each OWASP Top 10 (2021) category against the SUT's actual surface; cite the project's threat-model constraints (`RESTRICT-OPS-*`, `NFT-SEC-*`) and the Phase 1 + Phase 2 findings.
+
+## Surface Map (reference)
+
+| Surface | Direction | Production exposure | Authentication | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| MAVLink to ArduPilot FC | bidirectional (C8) | UART/serial — physical wiring on UAV | MAVLink 2 message signing (Ed25519 derived passkey, AC-4.3 + D-C8-9) | Per-flight key rotation logged to FDR (NFT-SEC-03). iNav variant ships with documented residual risk. |
+| Signed STATUSTEXT → GCS | outbound (C8) | UART → telemetry radio | Inherits MAVLink signing | Same channel as C8. |
+| Tile download HTTPS → `satellite-provider` | outbound (C11 `TileDownloader`) | Operator-workstation network only (RESTRICT-OPS-1, no airborne path) | TLS server-cert validation (httpx defaults, NEVER `verify=False`) + sidecar SHA-256 check on each tile | Pinned base URL from `C11Config`. |
+| Tile upload HTTPS → `satellite-provider` ingest | outbound (C11 `TileUploader`) | Operator-workstation only (post-landing) | TLS + Ed25519 per-flight signing key (C11 `PerFlightKeyManager`) | Public key envelope written to FDR for audit correlation. |
+| Flights-service HTTPS → operator API | outbound (C12 `FlightsApiClient`) | Operator-workstation only | TLS + bearer auth token (config-injected, `_REDACTED` in logs) | Pinned base URL from `C12.flights_api_base_url`. |
+| SSH from operator workstation → UAV companion | outbound (C12 `ParamikoSshSessionFactory`) | Operator-workstation only | SSH key auth + `RejectPolicy` host-key validation (pinned `known_hosts`) | Default mode is `strict`; `AutoAddPolicy` is forbidden by AZ-327. |
+| FDR records → local FDR sink | local file write (all components) | Onboard tmpfs / local disk | N/A (local file) | Records are HMAC-chained per `fdr_record_schema.md`. |
+| Healthcheck `python -m gps_denied_onboard.healthcheck` | inbound | Docker HEALTHCHECK probe, localhost only | N/A (process exit code) | No network surface. |
+| **No inbound network listeners in production** | — | confirmed by NFT-SEC-05 — DNS blackhole + iptables OUTPUT REJECT in flight | — | This is the most important property of the threat model. |
+
+The test-mode `mock-suite-sat` FastAPI fixture is the ONLY HTTP listener in any e2e topology; it lives in `e2e/fixtures/`, is excluded from the production Dockerfile, and runs only on the `e2e-net.internal: true` Docker network during tests.
+
+---
+
+## A01:2021 — Broken Access Control
+
+**Status**: **N/A — no per-user authorization model exists.**
+
+- The SUT is a single-tenant onboard binary that runs as one OS user inside its container. There is no notion of multiple users, roles, or per-resource access policy in production.
+- The two privileged operations that DO exist (start-session, end-session for the C11 upload key; arming the takeoff state in C5) are gated by the C8 FC's own armed/disarmed state — i.e., the safety gate is the physical aircraft state machine, not an application-level RBAC check.
+- The operator-side C12 service runs ONLY on the operator workstation (RESTRICT-OPS-1); it has no airborne path and no role-based authorization beyond the SSH key + flights-API bearer token tied to the workstation identity.
+
+**Findings**: 0.
+
+---
+
+## A02:2021 — Cryptographic Failures
+
+**Status**: **Pass.** All crypto choices are modern and well-implemented.
+
+| Concern | Status | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Weak hashes for signing / integrity | None | All integrity = SHA-256 (sidecar, tile `content_sha256` column, `_canonical_hash.aggregate_tile_hash`). All signatures = Ed25519. |
+| Plaintext secrets at rest | None | C8 MAVLink signing passkey loaded from tmpfs-mounted runtime secret (production) or `MAVLINK_SIGNING_PASSKEY_FILE` Docker secret (test). C11 signing key is ephemeral per flight. C12 auth token is config-injected (no on-disk plaintext in production beyond the operator-side secret store). |
+| Hardcoded keys / salts | None | Phase 2 SAST: 0 hardcoded credentials. All key material is generated per-flight via `Ed25519PrivateKey.generate()` or `secrets.token_bytes(...)`. |
+| TLS verification disabled | None | Phase 2 SAST: 0 `verify=False` matches; all `httpx.Client(...)` constructions use defaults (verify ON). |
+| Secret zeroisation on session end | Best-effort with documented residual | `c11_tile_manager/signing_key.py:340-365` zeros the project-controlled `bytearray` mirror of the secret. OpenSSL-side buffer freed via `Ed25519PrivateKey` refcount drop. Documented residual: bounded by upload-session lifetime + RESTRICT-OPS-1 (operator workstation no-swap). AZ-318 Risk-1. |
+| Random source quality | Cryptographically secure | All key generation uses `secrets.token_bytes` or `cryptography.hazmat`'s built-in CSPRNG. No `random.random()` on security paths. |
+| CVE exposure in crypto libs | 1 informational (Phase 1 F4) | `cryptography==42.0.8` has 4 GHSA advisories that touch `pkcs12`, OpenSSL FIPS provider config, and a CMS recipient bug — NONE of which are reachable from the SUT's actual usage (X.509 cert validation via httpx; Ed25519 sign/verify). Bump-when-convenient. |
+
+**Findings**: 0 (the Phase 1 F4 informational item is recorded there; not duplicated here).
+
+---
+
+## A03:2021 — Injection
+
+**Status**: **Pass.** Cleared in Phase 2.
+
+- **SQL injection**: 0 findings. All 19 `cursor.execute(...)` sites in C6 use psycopg `%s` parameterized placeholders.
+- **Command injection**: 0 findings. 1 `subprocess.run` (TensorRT `trtexec`) — list args, `shell=False`, no untrusted input.
+- **OS-path / file injection**: 0 findings. All `Path(...)` / `open(...)` calls take SUT-managed paths; no `..` traversal patterns matched.

+**Status**: **Pass — the design IS the security boundary.**
+
+The SUT's defining design property is "the airborne process has no network egress". That property is enforced at THREE layers:
+
+1. **Architectural** — no component constructs an `httpx.Client` or opens a socket on the airborne path. The C11 downloader / uploader and C12 flights-client are wired ONLY by the operator-workstation composition root (`compose_root_operator`), not the airborne `compose_root_airborne`.
+2. **Operational (RESTRICT-OPS-1)** — airborne container ships with iptables OUTPUT REJECT + DNS blackhole.
+3. **Test (NFT-SEC-02 / NFT-SEC-05)** — the airborne process is run inside a network namespace with no route to `satellite-provider`'s host; any attempted outbound TCP connection is a release-blocking test failure. The harness runs this test as part of every CI build.
+
+| Design constraint | Where enforced | Verified by |
+|---|---|---|
+| No inbound network listeners on airborne path | `compose_root_airborne` does not wire any FastAPI / uvicorn / grpc server | NFT-SEC-05 |
+| No outbound network egress on airborne path | iptables + DNS blackhole + arch-level component placement | NFT-SEC-02 + NFT-SEC-05 |
+| Tile downloads happen ONLY at operator workstation (pre-flight) | `compose_root_operator` is the only wiring that includes `build_tile_downloader` | Architecture review + integration test FT-N-01 (operator) vs FT-P-17 (airborne) |
+| Tile uploads happen ONLY post-landing on operator workstation | Same — `build_tile_uploader` is `compose_root_operator` only | NFT-SEC-01 |
+| MAVLink signing key generation happens on-bench, not at runtime | C8 documentation + boot sequence diagram | NFT-SEC-03 |
+| Strategy implementations are EXCLUDED from the production binary at compile time | `BUILD_*` flags gate the import in `runtime_root/*_factory.py` | CI pipeline gate (`pyproject.toml` `[tool.gpsdo.build-flags]`) |
+
+**Findings**: 0.
+
+**Defensive observations**:
+
+- The "test substitute" `mock-suite-sat` is documented as **non-architectural** (`_docs/02_document/architecture.md:277`) precisely so it cannot accidentally become a production dependency. The fixture is retired the moment D-PROJ-2 lands the real ingest endpoint.
+- The strategy registry is keyed by string → module path through a CLOSED whitelist (`KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES`), preventing config-controlled dynamic import vectors (Phase 2 F13).
+
+---
+
+## A05:2021 — Security Misconfiguration
+
+**Status**: **Mostly pass; the configuration & infrastructure review (Phase 4, next) is the deeper check.**
+
+- **No debug surface in production**: SUT has no FastAPI / Flask / Django app; healthcheck binary uses structured exit codes, never a stack trace. `DEBUG=1` is a developer-mode env var that only widens stderr verbosity for the CLI.
+- **Pinned dependencies**: `pyproject.toml` pins every direct dep; `requirements*.lock` (Phase 4 to verify) enforces transitive pins. `opencv-python>=4.11.0.86,<4.12` band is documented in `_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`.
+- **Build-flag gating**: strategies excluded at compile time via `BUILD_PYTORCH_FP16_RUNTIME`, `BUILD_FAISS_INDEX`, `BUILD_VPR_*`, `BUILD_C7_TRT_FP16`, etc. — non-built strategies cannot be selected even if config is wrong.
+- **Test-only secrets clearly marked**: `e2e/fixtures/secrets/mavlink-test-passkey.txt` carries a "TEST ONLY" annotation; production reads from a separate tmpfs-mounted secret.
+- **TODO for Phase 4**: container user (non-root?), file ownership in image layers, env var defaults, Docker secret mount permissions, network policy on `e2e-net.internal: true`.
+
+**Findings (Phase 3 surface)**: 0. Configuration-layer concerns are deferred to Phase 4.
+
+---
+
+## A06:2021 — Vulnerable and Outdated Components
+
+**Status**: Covered in Phase 1. Summary:
+
+| Severity (project context) | Count |
+|---|---|
+| Critical | 0 |
+| High | 0 |
+| Medium | 1 (`onnx==1.18.0` GHSA-rcgw-4cgp-9q7q — reachable only via developer-mode model loading, not the production airborne path) |
+| Low | 11 |
+
+**Findings (Phase 3-specific)**: 0 new — refer to `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md`.
+
+---
+
+## A07:2021 — Identification and Authentication Failures
+
+**Status**: **Pass.** All authenticated surfaces have a strong scheme; no obvious bypass.
+
+| Surface | Scheme | Defense observed |
+|---|---|---|
+| MAVLink ↔ FC | MAVLink 2 message signing, per-flight key | Per-flight key rotation logged to FDR (NFT-SEC-03). iNav variant cannot enable signing — documented residual risk, surfaced in C8 docs (`_docs/02_document/components/10_c8_fc_adapter/description.md`). |
+| C11 upload session → `satellite-provider` | Ed25519 per-flight signing key | Public-key envelope to FDR for audit correlation. Session lifetime ≤ upload window (minutes). |
+| C12 → flights-service | Bearer token | Token loaded from config (operator-side secret store), `_REDACTED` in 100% of error messages and retry logs. |
+| C12 → companion SSH | SSH key + `RejectPolicy` host-key validation | `paramiko.AutoAddPolicy` is FORBIDDEN by AZ-327. Default mode `strict` rejects any unknown host. CVE-2026-44405 (Phase 1 F6, SHA-1 RSA) is materially mitigated. |
+| C10 manifest verification | Ed25519 detached signature + SHA-256 of canonicalized JSON + trust-anchor public-key pinning | Fail-closed (`verify_manifest` returns `outcome=FAIL` on any deviation; never raises in the success path). |
+
+**Findings**: 0.
+
+---
+
+## A08:2021 — Software and Data Integrity Failures
+
+**Status**: **Pass.** Integrity-checking is the spine of the manifest / tile / FDR contracts.
+
+| Artifact | Integrity check | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Manifest.json` | Ed25519 signature (`Manifest.json.sig`) + SHA-256 sidecar (`Manifest.json.sha256`) + canonical-JSON hashing of the embedded tile aggregate | `c10_provisioning/manifest_verifier.py` |
+| Each tile JPEG | SHA-256 sidecar (`<tile>.sha256`), enforced both at download (`tile_downloader.py`) and on read (`postgres_filesystem_store.py` SELECT + sidecar verify) | C6 + C11 |
+| FDR records | HMAC-chained schema per `_docs/02_document/contracts/shared_fdr_client/fdr_record_schema.md` | `fdr_client/records.py` |
+| TensorRT engine builds | Engine path includes content-hash of source ONNX + build-config; rebuild on mismatch | `c7_inference/tensorrt_runtime.py` |
+| Replay fixtures | `e2e/fixtures/sitl-replay-fixture-*` ship with a manifest builder that derives SHA-256 over every artefact | `e2e/fixtures/builders/...` |
+
+**Software-update integrity**: out-of-scope for the onboard binary; operator-workstation provisioning is handled by the parent suite (D-PROJ-1) which Phase 4 will review at the Dockerfile / image layer.
+
+**Findings**: 0.
+
+---
+
+## A09:2021 — Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
+
+**Status**: **Pass — disciplined structured logging with security-event coverage.**
+
+| Concern | Status | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security-relevant events emit a structured FDR record | Yes | `c11.upload.session.key.public`, `c11.upload.session.key.zeroised`, `c11.upload.signature_rejected`, `c12.flights.fetch.failed`, `c10.manifest.verify.*`, `c8.mavlink.signing.*` |
+| Failures (auth, integrity, transport) emit ERROR-level logs with a stable `kind` field | Yes | `kind="c12.flights.fetch.failed"` + `reason∈{auth,not_found,connect:*}`, `kind="c10.manifest.verify.failed"`, `kind="c2.vpr.dim_mismatch"`, `kind="c11.upload.signature_rejected"` |
+| Secrets are not logged | Yes | 13 files use the `_REDACTED` / `redact` pattern. Phase 2 confirmed: auth token, MAVLink passkey, and SSH private-key material are never logged in plaintext. |
+| Logs are tamper-resistant | Best-effort | FDR records are HMAC-chained; structured logs to stderr/journal use a defined schema (`logging/structured.py`). Operator-side log retention is a parent-suite concern. |
+| Monitoring / alerting plumbed | Out of scope | Parent-suite responsibility — `_docs/02_document/deployment/observability.md` documents what the SUT emits, not where it is shipped. |
+
+**Findings**: 0.
+
+---
+
+## A10:2021 — Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+
+**Status**: **Pass.** No SUT code accepts a URL/host parameter from external input.
+
+- `c11_tile_manager/{tile_downloader,tile_uploader}.py` build URLs by concatenating a config-pinned `base_url` with internally-derived path segments (`zoom/x/y.jpg`, `upload/<flight_id>/<tile_uuid>`). No external `?url=...` parameter or redirect-following from untrusted source.
+- `c12_operator_orchestrator/flights_api/httpx_client.py` uses `client.get(url, ...)` where `url` is built from `self._config.flights_api_base_url` (config-pinned) + a derived path segment containing the validated `flight_id` UUID. No external host control.
+- `httpx.Client` defaults — `follow_redirects=False`. SSRF via 30x redirect to internal addresses is blocked unless the caller explicitly opts in (no SUT caller does).
+- DNS resolution happens against the operator's resolver only; in production (airborne) DNS is blackholed.
+
+**Findings**: 0.

+# Phase 2 — Static Analysis (SAST)
+
+**Scan date**: 2026-05-19
+**Scope**: `src/gps_denied_onboard/**` — 259 Python files across 14 components, 8 helpers, composition root, fdr_client, frame_source, helpers, logging, replay_input, CLI, healthcheck.
+**Excluded**: `tests/`, `e2e/`, `scripts/` (project-controlled test code with no production exposure); third-party deps (covered by Phase 1).
+**Method**: pattern-driven ripgrep scan against the SAST checklist in `.cursor/skills/security/SKILL.md` § Phase 2 — Static Analysis. Findings cross-validated by reading the call site.
+
+## Findings
+
+**Total: 0 Critical, 0 High, 0 Medium, 1 Low (informational).**
+
+The SUT is a closed-system, single-tenant onboard binary that does not accept external untrusted input on any production path. The only HTTP-inbound surface is the FastAPI test mock (`e2e/fixtures/mock-suite-sat`, out of this Phase 2 scope). The only HTTP-outbound surfaces are C11 `TileUploader` / `TileDownloader` against a pinned host, and C12 `FlightsApiClient` against a pinned host. All inputs the SUT acts on are file-backed (tile cache, IMU CSV, FDR fixtures, calibration JSON) and either operator-provisioned or built by the SUT itself.
+
+| # | Severity | Category | Location | Title |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| F13 | Low (informational) | Hardening | `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/*_factory.py` (7 sites) | `__import__(module_name, fromlist=...)` used for plugin loading — input is config-validated against a closed whitelist; recommend a hardening assertion |
+
+## Pattern-by-Pattern Results
+
+### Injection
+
+| Pattern | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| SQL injection via f-string / `.format()` / `+` concatenation into `cursor.execute` | **0 findings** | All 19 `cur.execute(...)` sites in `c6_tile_cache/{postgres_filesystem_store,freshness_gate,migrations,tools}.py` use psycopg `%s` placeholders. The two sites that use dynamic clause composition (`postgres_filesystem_store.py:523-533`, `:918-927`) build the SQL template from hardcoded column names + `%s` placeholders and parameterize ALL value bindings via `tuple(params)` / `params` tuple. Filter columns are hardcoded — only filter VALUES are user/config-controlled and they go through the placeholder. |
+| Command injection — `shell=True` / `os.system` / `os.popen` | **0 findings** | 1 `subprocess.run` call total — `c7_inference/tensorrt_runtime.py:826` for `trtexec` (TensorRT engine builder). `shell=False` (default with list args), arguments come from internal `build_config` (precision mode, optimization profiles, paths from SUT-managed `engine_path` / `model_path`). No untrusted input on this path. Timeout + capture_output + structured `EngineBuildError` on non-zero exit. |
+| XSS via unsanitized output in HTML | **0 findings** | SUT has no HTML output surface. |
+| Template injection (jinja2 `Template()` with user data) | **0 findings** | jinja2 is a transitive dep of `cryptography`; SUT does not import it directly. |
+
+### Authentication & Authorization
+
+| Pattern | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Hardcoded credentials / API keys / passwords / tokens (literal `password=`/`secret=`/`api_key=`/`token=` with 8+ char string) | **0 findings** | `c12_operator_orchestrator/config.py:133` has `flights_api_auth_token: str = ""` — empty default, value injected via `Config` at runtime. No literal secret. |
+| Missing authentication on endpoints | **N/A** | SUT exposes no inbound HTTP/RPC endpoint in production. Healthcheck binary (`src/gps_denied_onboard/healthcheck.py`) is a local exit-code probe. |
+| Missing authorization checks (IDOR / privilege escalation paths) | **N/A** | Single-tenant onboard binary; no per-user authorization model. |
+| Weak password validation | **N/A** | No password handling. |
+
+### Cryptographic Failures
+
+| Pattern | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Weak hash algorithms (MD5, SHA1) on security-critical paths | **0 findings** | 0 `hashlib.md5(` / `hashlib.sha1(` / `.md5(` / `.sha1(` matches in `src/`. Content hashing uses SHA-256 (`helpers/sha256_sidecar.py`, `c6/postgres_filesystem_store.py` content_sha256 column). Ed25519 signing for tile uploads (C11 `PerFlightKeyManager`, AZ-318). |
+| Plaintext password storage | **0 findings** | No password store. |
+| Hardcoded encryption keys / salts | **0 findings** | All key material is generated per-flight: `c11_tile_manager/signing_key.py` uses `Ed25519PrivateKey.generate()`; MAVLink signing passkey at `c8_fc_adapter/pymavlink_ardupilot_adapter.py:513` uses `secrets.token_bytes(_SIGNING_KEY_LEN)` (cryptographically secure RNG). The MAVLink-side passkey is loaded from a Docker secret (`MAVLINK_SIGNING_PASSKEY_FILE`) for the test path; production binary reads the same secret from a tmpfs-mounted runtime secret. |
+| Missing TLS/HTTPS enforcement (`verify=False`, `VERIFY_NONE`, `InsecureRequestWarning`) | **0 findings** | 0 matches. All `httpx.Client(...)` constructions use default settings (TLS verification ON). Production hosts are pinned at compile/config time. |
+| Secret zeroisation on session end | **GOOD pattern** | `c11_tile_manager/signing_key.py:340-365` `_zeroise_secret_buffer()` overwrites the project-controlled `bytearray` with zeros; OpenSSL-side buffer freed via `Ed25519PrivateKey` refcount drop. Double-storage tradeoff documented (AZ-318 Risk-1). Best-effort, bounded by upload-session lifetime, mitigated by RESTRICT-OPS-1 (operator workstation no-swap). |
+
+### Data Exposure
+
+| Pattern | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| Secrets / tokens / passwords leaked in logs / error messages | **0 findings** | C12 `flights_api/httpx_client.py:140,175,191` redacts the auth token as `auth_token={_REDACTED}` in both success and retry log paths. 13 source files use the `_REDACTED` / `redact` convention (audited list in `Grep` output above). |
+| Sensitive fields in API responses | **N/A** | SUT publishes no API. |
+| Debug endpoints / verbose error mode in prod | **0 findings** | No FastAPI / Flask / Django app in production scope. CLI exits with structured exception messages; full traceback only when `DEBUG=1` is explicitly set. |
+| Secrets in version control | **0 findings** | `e2e/fixtures/secrets/mavlink-test-passkey.txt` is a documented TEST-ONLY passkey (commit comment: "TEST ONLY"); explicitly excluded from production deployment per Phase 1 / Dockerfile build args. No `.env`, `.envrc`, or `config.local.*` with literal secrets found. |
+
+### Insecure Deserialization
+
+| Pattern | Result | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pickle.loads()` / `marshal.loads()` / `cPickle.*` on untrusted data | **0 findings** | 0 matches in `src/`. (The 7 `model.eval()` matches found by the original SAST regex were PyTorch `nn.Module.eval()` mode-switch calls, not Python `eval`.) |
+| `eval()` / `exec()` of strings | **0 findings** | 0 matches. |
+| `yaml.load()` / `yaml.unsafe_load()` on untrusted data | **0 findings** | 0 matches in `src/`. (Config loader uses `yaml.safe_load`, validated in module-layout review.) |
+| `json.loads()` on untrusted data | **0 findings** | 3 sites total: `c10_provisioning/provisioner.py:512` reads SUT-built manifest; `c1_vio/bench/okvis2.py:64,73` reads SUT-built calibration / IMU bench fixtures; `runtime_root/airborne_bootstrap.py:965` reads operator-provisioned calibration. All inputs are filesystem-local, operator-controlled, schema-validated downstream. |
+| `__import__()` of dynamic strings | **F13** (informational) | 7 sites — `runtime_root/{vpr,vio,matcher,rerank,refiner,inference,c11,...}_factory.py`. Each call passes a `module_name` looked up from a CLOSED `_STRATEGY_TO_MODULE` table keyed by `config.components[<c>].strategy`, which `<C>Config.__post_init__` validates against `KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES`. The input is config-validated against a whitelist BEFORE the import. Documented in the strategy-registry comments (AZ-591). |
+
+### F13 Detail — `__import__` plugin loading
+
+**Severity**: Low (informational / hardening recommendation, not a current vulnerability).
+
+**Location**: `src/gps_denied_onboard/runtime_root/{vpr,vio,matcher,rerank,refiner,inference,c11}_factory.py` (7 call sites).
+
+**Description**: The composition-root factories use `__import__(module_name, fromlist=[class_name])` to load concrete strategy implementations lazily. Today this is safe because `module_name` is looked up via a closed `_STRATEGY_TO_MODULE` dict keyed by `strategy: str`, and `strategy` is validated against `KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES` in each component's `<C>Config.__post_init__`. The validation gate happens at `Config` instantiation, before `compose_root` ever runs.
+
+**Impact**: None today — config validation blocks any string from reaching `__import__` that isn't in the whitelist.
+
+**Failure mode**: if a future refactor were to drop the `KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES` validation, or if a strategy were added to `_STRATEGY_TO_MODULE` without a matching `KNOWN_*` entry, the failure mode would be "config-file-controlled module import" — an attacker who controls the config YAML could load arbitrary importable modules. The threat is bounded because (a) the config file is operator-provisioned (not network-fetched), and (b) the worst-case payload is "load and call `create(...)` on a module already on `sys.path`", which is the project's own dependency closure.
+
+**Remediation (hardening)**: add a defensive assertion at the start of each `_factory.py`'s build function:
+
+```python
+if strategy not in KNOWN_*_STRATEGIES:
+    raise StrategyNotAvailableError(
+        f"Strategy {strategy!r} not in whitelist; refusing dynamic import."
+    )
+```
+
+Today this is enforced by `<C>Config.__post_init__` — the recommended hardening is to repeat the check at the import call site so the invariant survives future refactors. Not blocking for production.
+
+## Architectural Safeguards Observed (defense-in-depth)
+
+These are not findings — they are positive observations that reduce the project's overall attack surface:
+
+| Safeguard | Location | Why it matters |
+|---|---|---|
+| Public-boundary discipline for the blackbox harness | `e2e/README.md` § Public-Boundary Discipline + `e2e/runner/Dockerfile` (no SUT install) | The test runner cannot import any SUT module, eliminating cross-contamination of test fixtures into the production code path. |
+| `paramiko` `RejectPolicy` (NOT `AutoAddPolicy`) | `c12_operator_orchestrator/paramiko_ssh_session.py:218` | C12 SSH to operator companion always validates host key against pinned `known_hosts`. CVE-2026-44405 (SHA-1 RSA, Phase 1 F6) is materially mitigated by this. |
+| Per-flight ephemeral Ed25519 signing key | `c11_tile_manager/signing_key.py` | Compromise of a single flight key only exposes that flight's upload window; key never persists past `end_session`. |
+| Cryptographically-secure RNG for MAVLink passkey generation | `c8_fc_adapter/pymavlink_ardupilot_adapter.py:513` (`secrets.token_bytes`) | Not `random.random()`. |
+| Internal-only Docker network for test stack | `e2e/docker/docker-compose.test.yml` (`e2e-net.internal: true`) | RESTRICT-SAT-1 / NFT-SEC-02 enforcement — runtime network egress to non-`e2e-net` destinations is impossible during tests. |
+| Token redaction in logs (`_REDACTED` convention) | 13 source files including `c12_operator_orchestrator/{cli,build_cache,operator_reloc_service}`, `c11_tile_manager/{config,tile_downloader}`, `c13_fdr/headers`, `c10_provisioning/manifest_builder`, `cli/replay` | Disciplined enforcement across components; not just one-off in C12. |
+| Build-flag gates (`BUILD_PYTORCH_FP16_RUNTIME`, `BUILD_FAISS_INDEX`, `BUILD_VPR_*`, etc.) at composition-root level | `runtime_root/*_factory.py` | Strategies are excluded from the production binary at compile time, not just runtime — eliminates classes of misconfiguration attacks. |
+| `verify=True` (default) on all `httpx.Client` constructions | `c11_tile_manager/{tile_downloader,tile_uploader}.py`, `c12_operator_orchestrator/flights_api/httpx_client.py`, `runtime_root/c11_factory.py` | TLS validation is never bypassed. |

+# Performance Test Run — 2026-05-19 — workstation Tier-1 probe
+
+**Invoked by**: autodev greenfield Step 15 — `.cursor/skills/test-run/SKILL.md` perf mode.
+**Host**: developer Mac workstation (no Jetson hardware, no `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` fixture mounted).
+**Runner**: `scripts/run-performance-tests.sh` + direct `pytest e2e/tests/performance/` probe.
+**Run ID**: `workstation-tier1-probe`.
+**Status**: **Unverified across all 4 production perf NFRs; pure-logic evaluator unit tests Pass (70/70).** No regression detected because no measurement was possible. No Warn / Fail to gate on. **Not blocking deploy** per the skill's "Any Unverified scenarios with no Warn/Fail" rule.
+
+## What ran
+
+### A) `scripts/run-performance-tests.sh`
+
+```text
+Tier-2 perf tests skipped (GPS_DENIED_TIER!=2).
+exit=0
+```
+
+The runner script is deliberately a Tier-2 gate (`pytest -m tier2 -q tests/perf` only when `GPS_DENIED_TIER=2`). On Tier-1 / workstation it exits 0 silently. By design — the canonical perf measurements require Jetson Orin Nano Super hardware (D-C7-9, JetPack 6.2, TensorRT 10.3); a workstation run would produce numbers that DO NOT meet the pinned-hardware budgets and would actively mislead trend tracking.
+
+### B) Direct `pytest e2e/tests/performance/` probe (24 parameterizations)
+
+| NFR | Configs | Outcome | Skip reason |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **NFT-PERF-01** (E2E latency p95 ≤ 400 ms — AC-4.1) | 6 ({ardupilot, inav} × {okvis2, klt_ransac, vins_mono}) | 6 skipped | "Tier-2 only — Jetson hardware required" |
+| **NFT-PERF-02** (frame-by-frame streaming, inter-emit p95 ≤ 350 ms — AC-4.4) | 6 ({ardupilot, inav} × {okvis2, klt_ransac, vins_mono}) | 4 skipped (no fixture) + 2 skipped (vins_mono research-only per D-C1-1-SUB-A) | "requires `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` (AZ-595) carrying the 5 min Derkachi @ 3 Hz replay" |
+| **NFT-PERF-03** (cold-start TTFF p95 ≤ 30 s — AC-NEW-1) | 6 | 6 skipped | "Tier-2 only — Jetson hardware required" |
+| **NFT-PERF-04** (spoof-promotion p95 ≤ 600 ms — AC-NEW-2) | 6 | 4 skipped (no fixture) + 2 skipped (vins_mono research-only per D-C1-1-SUB-A) | "requires `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` (AZ-595) containing N≥20 randomized-start blackout+spoof events" |
+
+Total: 24 skipped, 0 passed, 0 failed, 0 errored. Exit code 0.
+
+### C) Pure-logic evaluator unit tests — `e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/test_*_evaluator.py`
+
+The four perf NFRs each map to a pure-logic evaluator that computes the gate (p95 / inter-emit interval / TTFF distribution / spoof-promotion latency) from a recorded sample set. These evaluators are tested without any SITL / Jetson dependency:
+

+
+**70/70 pass.** Confirms that the threshold-comparison logic (percentile estimators, inter-emit interval, TTFF distribution, spoof-onset → label-switch delta) is correct independent of whether real measurements have been recorded yet. A future hardware run feeds JSON fixtures into the same evaluators — only the input data changes, not the math.
+
+## Threshold comparison (Step 3 of skill)
+
+Per the skill's Step 3, thresholds load from `_docs/02_document/tests/performance-tests.md`. The thresholds exist and are documented but no scenario produced a measurement to compare them against.
+
+| NFR | Threshold | Observed | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| NFT-PERF-01 | p95 ≤ 400 ms (K=3 baseline AND K=2 hybrid auto-degrade) + ≤10 % frame drops | — | **Unverified** (Tier-2 hardware required) |
+| NFT-PERF-02 | p95 inter-emit interval ≤ 350 ms; no window of ≥3 missed-emit gaps | — | **Unverified** (`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` fixture not yet recorded; AZ-595) |
+| NFT-PERF-03 | p95 TTFF < 30 s (50 cold boots) | — | **Unverified** (Tier-2 hardware required) |
+| NFT-PERF-04 | p95 < 3 s on both FCs (50 trials per FC) | — | **Unverified** (`E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` fixture not yet recorded; AZ-595) |
+
+## Classification
+
+Per the skill's perf-mode reporting:
+
+```text
+══════════════════════════════════════

+══════════════════════════════════════
+```
+
+## Coverage gap assessment (skill Step 5: "Unverified")
+
+Per the skill:
+
+> **Any Unverified scenarios with no Warn/Fail** → not blocking, but surface them in the report so the user knows coverage gaps exist. Suggest running `/test-spec` to add expected results next cycle.
+
+This run has **0 Warn + 0 Fail + 4 Unverified**, so:
+
+- **Not deploy-blocking.** The perf gate is allowed to be Unverified when the SUT is not yet running on its canonical hardware.
+- **Coverage gap is fully cataloged.** Each Unverified scenario points at a concrete task:
+  - **NFT-PERF-01 / NFT-PERF-03**: AZ-444 (Tier-2 Jetson harness) is the recording-phase task. When AZ-444 lands, these scenarios run on the Jetson and produce numbers — at which point this report's "Unverified" entries become "Pass / Warn / Fail" against the AC-4.1 / AC-NEW-1 thresholds.
+  - **NFT-PERF-02 / NFT-PERF-04**: AZ-595 (SITL replay fixture builder) is the recording task. When AZ-595 lands, the fixtures are committed under `e2e/fixtures/sitl_replay/`, `E2E_SITL_REPLAY_DIR` is set, and the scenarios run on Tier-1.
+- **The thresholds, evaluators, parameterizations, and report wiring are all in place.** Recording is the only gap, not test design.
+
+## Anti-patterns explicitly NOT used
+
+Per the skill's anti-pattern guidance:
+
+- **No improvised perf tests.** Did not synthesize a workstation-only "approximation" of any NFR; the AC-4.1 / AC-NEW-1 / AC-NEW-2 / AC-4.4 budgets are pinned to canonical hardware and synthetic Tier-1 numbers would mislead the trend-tracker.
+- **No skip-acceptance without justification.** Each Unverified entry is cataloged against a concrete recording task (AZ-444 / AZ-595).
+- **No threshold downgrade.** Did not soften any threshold to make a Tier-1 measurement "pass".
+
+## Two minor housekeeping items (Low)
+
+1. **Unregistered pytest mark `tier2_only`** — pytest warnings at `e2e/tests/performance/test_nft_perf_01_e2e_latency.py:61` and `e2e/tests/performance/test_nft_perf_03_ttff.py:48`. Add `tier2_only: marks scenarios that require Jetson hardware` to `e2e/runner/pytest.ini` `markers` list.
+2. **`scripts/run-performance-tests.sh` is intentionally a Tier-2 stub.** This is documented in the script header; not a defect, just a reminder that the Tier-1 path is "skip + log" by design. If a Tier-1 perf trend-tracking workflow is ever desired, add an explicit branch (e.g. invoke the pure-logic evaluators against a smaller `derkachi-short-fixture`).

+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Total tasks (done) | 165 (product + test + hygiene + refactor) |
+| Total tasks (backlog) | 2 (AZ-592, AZ-593 — Tier-2 OKVIS2 / VINS-Mono validation) |
+| Total tasks (todo) | 0 |
+| Total batches | 97 (cycle 1) |
+| Cycle duration | 9 days (2026-05-11 → 2026-05-20) |
+| Avg tasks per batch | ≈ 1.7 |
+| Estimated total complexity points | ≈ 565 cp (sampled: 80 × 3 cp, 50 × 5 cp, 30 × 2 cp, plus a handful of 4 cp and 0 cp umbrella) |
+| Source LoC | 61,071 Python (src/) |
+| Components | 15 (C1, C2, C2.5, C3, C3.5, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C10, C11, C12, C13 + helpers/runtime_root) |
+| Binary tracks | 3 (airborne, research, operator-orchestrator) per ADR-002 + ADR-011 |
+
+## Quality Metrics
+
+### Product Implementation Completeness Gate (Step 7 → Step 8)
+
+Source: `_docs/03_implementation/implementation_completeness_cycle1_report.md` (revised 2026-05-19 addendum).
+
+| Verdict | Count | Percentage |
+|---------|-------|------------|
+| PASS | 114 | 98.3 % |
+| BLOCKED-with-named-Tier-2-handle | 4 | 3.4 % (overlaps; 2 share one hardware artifact) |
+| FAIL | 0 | 0 % |
+
+The 4 BLOCKED items are: **AZ-332** (OKVIS2 production-default VIO native binding → AZ-592 backlog), **AZ-333** (VINS-Mono research-only VIO → AZ-593 backlog), **AZ-624 AC-5** + **AZ-687 AC-687-3** (Jetson Tier-2 evidence file `_docs/03_implementation/jetson_runs/2026-05-19_az687_tier2_run.txt` pending).
+
+### Code Review Verdicts (sampled across batches 50..97)
+
+The verdict field is consistently `**Verdict**:` in batches ≥ 53. Earlier batches (01–22) use a different convention and are captured in the consolidated `cumulative_review_batches_01-22_cycle1_report.md`.
+
+| Verdict | Approximate count (batches 53..97) | Notes |
+|---------|------------------------------------|-------|
+| PASS | ~24 | Includes single-task batches with inline self-review |
+| PASS_WITH_WARNINGS | ~30 | Includes 38 files matching the verdict phrase |
+| FAIL | 0 | No batch failed the in-loop review across the full cycle |
+| BLOCKED | 0 (at batch level; 4 at task level — see Completeness Gate above) | |
+
+Auto-fix loop never had to escalate to user intervention across cycle 1.
+
+### Findings by Severity (latest 3 cumulative review windows: 70-72, 82-87, 88-92)
+
+| Severity | Count (rolling 3-window) | Trend |
+|----------|---------------------------|-------|
+| Critical | 0 | — |
+| High | 0 | — |
+| Medium | 2 (CR-F1 csv-helper, CR-F2 fixture-path-helper — both escalated and still OPEN at end of cycle 1) | Carried over from window 85-87 → 88-92 |
+| Low | ~5 (5 in batch 87, 3 in batch 85, 2 each in batches 83/84, 1 in batch 81) | Trending down across late batches |
+| Info | many — process notes, no action | — |
+
+### Findings by Category (qualitative, since aggregate metrics across all 97 batches would need per-finding tagging that isn't uniform across early batches)
+
+| Category | Notable patterns | Top files |
+|----------|------------------|-----------|
+| Bug | Essentially none post Step 11 (Run Tests) — the iSAM2 ordering issue in AZ-625 was caught + fixed mid-batch | — |
+| Spec-Gap | AZ-595 dependency surfaced late (blocks 17 NFT scenarios); AZ-687 replay-mode guard emerged from AZ-624's Jetson run | `e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/`, `e2e/runner/helpers/` |
+| Security | OpenCV CVE pin replay condition tracked since 2026-05-11 (gtsam numpy<2 ABI block); per `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md` re-validated against current pin — no advisory exposure | `pyproject.toml` |
+| Performance | NFT-PERF Tier-2 baselines pending AZ-595 + AZ-592/AZ-593; cycle-1 Tier-1 probe completed 2026-05-19 | `_docs/06_metrics/perf_2026-05-19_workstation-tier1-probe.md` |
+| Maintainability | Two helper-duplication patterns surfaced (CR-F1, CR-F2) — 5 cp combined hygiene PBI proposed | `e2e/runner/helpers/csv_evidence_writer`, `e2e/runner/helpers/fixture_path` |
+| Style | Minimal — `ruff` is run pre-commit + in the e2e-runner; batch 91 opportunistically cleaned 12 pre-existing UP037 lints in `airborne_bootstrap.py` | `airborne_bootstrap.py` |
+| Scope | One mid-cycle scope correction — AZ-589/AZ-590 closed Won't Fix after post-mortem found the actual gap was cross-cutting (empty `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY`), not per-strategy C++ wiring. Re-decomposed into AZ-591 + AZ-592/AZ-593 backlog | `runtime_root/__init__.py` → `airborne_bootstrap.py` |
+
+## Structural Metrics
+
+`_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` does **not** exist — cumulative reviews could not emit `## Baseline Delta` sections through cycle 1. This is a known gap (see Improvement Action #3 below).
+
+| Metric | Value | Trend |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| Component count | 15 | First-cycle baseline |
+| Source LoC (Python, src/) | 61,071 | First-cycle baseline |
+| Cycles in component import graph | 0 | Healthy — no back-edges in `runtime_root.airborne_bootstrap → {clock, fdr_client, runtime_root.*_factory, runtime_root.{storage,inference,errors,…}}` |
+| Cross-component edges | Concentrated in `runtime_root/` factories (composition root by design) | Healthy — single composition seam |
+| Contract files | `_docs/02_document/contracts/shared_*/` populated for FDR record schema (v1.3.0), log record schema (v1.0.0), C8 transport, post-landing upload, ingest (D-PROJ-2 placeholder) | First-cycle baseline; coverage % vs public-API symbols not computed (no inventory) |
+| Architecture violations net delta | n/a (no baseline) | Recommend establishing the baseline file in cycle 2 Step 6 |
+
+A structural snapshot for future delta comparison is recorded in `_docs/06_metrics/structure_2026-05-20.md` (next item in this retro).
+
+## Efficiency
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Blocked tasks (cycle-1 close) | 4 (all Tier-2 hardware / evidence rooted) |
+| Tasks requiring fixes after review | ~5 (Medium/Low warnings landed as hygiene PBIs, not as in-cycle fixes) |
+| Auto-fix loop escalations to user | 0 |
+| Mid-cycle remediation post-mortems | 1 (AZ-589/AZ-590 → AZ-591) |
+| Mid-cycle scope rewinds | 1 (Step 11 Run Tests → Step 7 Implement, for AZ-618 cross-cutting umbrella with 12 builder signatures; surfaced as 2026-05-18 lessons entry already in LESSONS.md) |
+| Batch with most findings | Batch 87 (`PASS_WITH_WARNINGS — 0 Critical, 0 High, 0 Medium, 5 Low`) — late-cycle e2e helper polish |
+| Out-of-loop process leftover | D-CROSS-CVE-1 OpenCV pin deferred on upstream `gtsam` numpy<2 ABI; re-checked at every `/autodev` invocation per leftover protocol |
+
+### Blocker Analysis
+
+| Blocker Type | Count | Prevention (carries to cycle 2) |
+|--------------|-------|----------------------------------|
+| Tier-2 hardware/evidence (Jetson Orin) | 4 | Allocate Tier-2 Jetson access for AZ-595 + AZ-624 AC-5 re-run + AZ-687 AC-687-3; AZ-592/AZ-593 unblocked only when CI build env + DBoW2 vocab + upstream choice are decided. |
+| Upstream library pin (D-CROSS-CVE-1) | 1 | Out-of-band — replay condition is `gtsam` numpy-2 wheels (or alternate SE(3) backend). Re-check is debounced ≤ 2 h per leftover entry; no action needed in dev cycle. |
+| Mid-cycle scope correction | 1 | The fix already informed the 2026-05-18 LESSONS entry. Cross-cutting registry/factory state should be probed before classifying a per-task FAIL. |
+
+## Trend Comparison
+
+*Previous retrospective: N/A — first retro.*
+
+Cycle 1 establishes the baseline. From cycle 2 onward, this section will compare against:
+
+| Metric | Current (cycle-1 baseline) | Target (cycle-2) |
+|--------|-----------------------------|-------------------|
+| Code-review pass rate (PASS / total) | ≈ 44 % PASS, ≈ 55 % PASS_WITH_WARNINGS, 0 % FAIL | Maintain 0 % FAIL; lift PASS share by landing CR-F1 + CR-F2 hygiene PBIs early |
+| Avg findings per batch (Medium + Low) | ~0.2 (≈ 16 total Medium/Low across 97 batches, dominated by helper-duplication carryovers) | ≤ 0.15 |
+| Blocked tasks (cycle close) | 4 (all Tier-2 rooted) | ≤ 2; AZ-624 AC-5 + AZ-687 AC-687-3 close once the Tier-2 run lands |
+| Mid-cycle remediation post-mortems | 1 | 0 |
+| Structural baseline file present | No (gap) | Yes |
+
+## Top 3 Improvement Actions
+
+1. **Land the two open hygiene PBIs (CR-F1 + CR-F2) before any new NFT helper expansion in cycle 2.**
+   - Impact: drops the only carried-over Medium findings; consolidates `csv_evidence_writer` + `fixture_path.resolve` into one canonical helper module under `e2e/runner/helpers/`; unblocks future NFT additions without duplication drift.
+   - Effort: low (combined 5 cp; both already pre-decomposed in `cumulative_review_batches_88-92_cycle1_report.md`).
+
+2. **Sequence AZ-595 (SITL observer + FDR replay fixture) as the first product task of cycle 2.**
+   - Impact: closes 17 NFT scenarios in one PBI — every NFT-PERF / NFT-RES / NFT-SEC scenario that currently `sitl_replay_ready`-skips on the Tier-1 docker harness. Also unblocks the Tier-2 evidence files for AZ-624 AC-5 + AZ-687 AC-687-3 once Jetson hardware is available.
+   - Effort: medium (5 cp, in scope of a single batch; depends only on already-done tasks).
+
+3. **Create `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` as a Step 6 (Decompose) prerequisite.**
+   - Impact: cumulative reviews can emit `## Baseline Delta` sections from cycle 2 onward, quantifying architecture violations carried over / resolved / newly introduced per cycle. Without it, structural regressions are invisible to the retro process.
+   - Effort: low (small file: scrape ADR list + initial violation count = 0 for cycle 2; the structural snapshot in this retro can seed the baseline). Suggest landing it in cycle 2 Step 6 as a precondition.
+
+## Suggested Rule/Skill Updates
+
+| File | Change | Rationale |
+|------|--------|-----------|
+| `.cursor/skills/decompose/SKILL.md` (Step 6 prerequisites) | Add a prerequisite check that `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` exists; create it with `0` baseline violations if missing | Closes the gap that cumulative reviews flagged repeatedly across cycle 1 ("`architecture_compliance_baseline.md` does NOT exist → no Baseline Delta section emitted") |
+| `.cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md` (Step 15 Completeness Gate) | Before classifying any per-task FAIL, run a workspace grep for cross-cutting state the task depends on (e.g. central registries, factory dispatch tables); if the actual gap is cross-cutting, propose a single cross-cutting task instead of N per-task remediation tasks | AZ-589 + AZ-590 → AZ-591 post-mortem; saves a wasted remediation-task round-trip |
+| `.cursor/skills/decompose/SKILL.md` (or a new sub-step) | Identify the **fixture-builder dependency surface** explicitly during test-task decomposition: if N test tasks share a single un-built fixture, schedule the fixture builder ahead of the dependent tasks as a P0 prerequisite, not as a peer | AZ-595 surfaced as a late-cycle 17-scenario blocker — would have been a 1-task P0 if decompose had cross-referenced fixture references in each test spec |
+
+## Process Leftovers (out of band)
+
+- **`_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md`** — still OPEN; replay condition unchanged (gtsam numpy<2). Re-checked at start of every `/autodev` invocation; last check 2026-05-20T05:51 UTC+3.

+## Import Graph Health
+
+- **Cycles in component import graph**: 0 (verified across batches 88–92 cumulative reviews — no back-edges introduced).
+- **Composition seam**: `runtime_root.airborne_bootstrap` (single composition root for airborne binary) + `runtime_root.operator_bootstrap` (single composition root for operator-orchestrator binary). Both pull from per-component `*_factory` modules under `runtime_root/`.
+
+## Contract Files

+- **Component count change** — target 0 (no new components mid-feature-cycle; if AZ-595 or follow-ups add a component, document why).
+- **Source LoC change** — informational; rapid growth flagged for sub-component refactor review.
+- **Cycles in import graph** — must stay 0; any new cycle is a regression and surfaces a Critical finding.
+- **`_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` keys** — should grow by 0–2 (only when a new strategy lands per ADR-002).
+- **Contract files** — D-PROJ-2 ingest moves from "placeholder" to "production" if parent-suite ships its endpoint.

+## 2026-05-20 — [process] Before classifying a per-task FAIL, probe cross-cutting state the task depends on (registries, factories, baselines)
+
+**Trigger**: cycle-1 Step 7 Product Implementation Completeness Gate originally classified AZ-332 + AZ-333 as FAIL and proposed two per-strategy remediation tasks (AZ-589 + AZ-590). Post-mortem found the actual gap was the empty central `_STRATEGY_REGISTRY` — a cross-cutting concern that should have produced **one** task (AZ-591), not two. AZ-589 + AZ-590 closed Won't Fix.
+
+**What changed**: completeness gates should now run a workspace grep for cross-cutting registry / factory state the task depends on before classifying a per-task FAIL. If the actual root cause is cross-cutting, propose a single cross-cutting task instead of N per-task remediation tasks. Captured in `_docs/06_metrics/retro_2026-05-20.md` § Suggested Rule/Skill Updates.

+## 2026-05-20 — [testing] If N test specs share a single un-built fixture, schedule the fixture builder as a P0 prerequisite during decompose
+
+**Trigger**: cycle-1 ended with 17 NFT scenarios `sitl_replay_ready`-skipping on the Tier-1 docker harness because AZ-595 (SITL observer + FDR replay fixture builder) was decomposed as a peer task and slipped to the end of the cycle. Cumulative review window 88-92 surfaced this as a 5 cp PBI that now blocks the cycle-2 Step 11 retry.
+
+**What changed**: `decompose/SKILL.md` should identify the fixture-builder dependency surface explicitly during test-task decomposition. If N test tasks share one un-built fixture, the fixture builder is a P0 prerequisite and is scheduled ahead of the dependent tasks, not as a peer.

+## 2026-05-20 — [architecture] Land `_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` as a Step 6 (Decompose) prerequisite so cumulative reviews can emit Baseline Delta sections
+
+**Trigger**: every cumulative review across cycle 1 logged "`_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md` does NOT exist → no Baseline Delta section emitted". Structural regressions (new cycles in the import graph, newly-introduced architecture violations) therefore could not be quantified across cycle 1 — only verified pairwise per batch.
+
+**What changed**: cycle 2 Step 6 (Decompose) should create the baseline file with `0` violations seeded from the structural snapshot at `_docs/06_metrics/structure_2026-05-20.md`. From cycle 2 onward, `## Baseline Delta` rows quantify carried-over / resolved / newly-introduced violations per cycle.

 ## 2026-05-18 — When autodev rewinds N → 7 (or any earlier step) mid-session, treat the handoff as a session boundary
 
 **Trigger**: In Step 11 (Run Tests) cycle 1, the Jetson e2e gate routed the flow back to Step 7 (Implement) for AZ-618 (cross-cutting 5pt task with 12 infrastructure deps). The user repeatedly chose to continue in the same conversation. I rewound state cleanly (task spec + autodev state) but, on attempting to enter the implement skill's batch loop in the SAME conversation, found that even just investigating the 12 builder signatures consumed enough context to reach the Caution zone — writing the implementation would have hit truncation mid-batch.

-`gtsam==4.2.1` as the latest stable (`requires_dist: numpy<2.0.0,>=1.11.0`);
-`gtsam==4.3a0` alpha exists but is not a stable wheel target. Replay condition
-(numpy>=2 stable wheels) still NOT met. Leftover remains open.
+**Last replay attempt**: 2026-05-19T20:04+03:00 (Europe/Kyiv) — replay re-checked
+at start of next `/autodev` invocation (~55 minutes after prior check at 19:09).
+PyPI not re-queried this round (debounced — `gtsam` upstream state is highly
+unlikely to publish numpy-2 wheels within a <2-hour window of the prior check,
+and the previous check confirmed no movement). Replay condition (numpy>=2
+stable wheels) still NOT met. Leftover remains open.
 **Status**: deferred-non-user (replay when upstream gtsam wheels target numpy>=2)
 
 ## What is blocked
@@ -47,6 +49,26 @@ before this leftover is closed; if any of those CVE fixes shipped in
 4.12+ only, document them in this entry and gate the replay on the
 gtsam upgrade.
 
+**Re-validation result (2026-05-19, greenfield Step 14 Phase 1)**:
+`pip-audit` against the `.venv` returned `opencv-python==4.11.0.86`
+with `"vulns": []` — neither PyPI's advisory feed nor OSV.dev has a
+published advisory tying CVE-2025-53644 to the 4.11.0.86 pin band.
+The 4.x-line supported branch appears to have absorbed the relevant
+patch in 4.11.0.86. Runtime evidence: NFT-SEC-04 (which feeds
+`cve-jpeg-fixture` to every OpenCV imread/imdecode path under
+AddressSanitizer) is the executable confirmation in the test suite.
+The leftover remains OPEN because the upstream constraint (gtsam
+4.2 → numpy<2) has not changed, but the CVE-2025-53644 exposure
+window has effectively closed at the current pin. Replay condition
+unchanged: numpy-2-compatible gtsam (or alternate SE(3) backend).
+See `_docs/05_security/dependency_scan.md` for the full scan output.
+
+**Coupled bump (Phase 1 finding F1)**: when the replay lands, also
+bump `cryptography>=46.0.7` in the same change — CVE-2026-39892
+re-exposes for Python >3.11, and lifting the gtsam constraint will
+also lift the `requires-python = ">=3.10,<3.12"` cap that currently
+masks the exposure.

+"""AZ-687 — ``build_pre_constructed`` replay-mode guard.
+
+Pins the contract at
+``_docs/02_tasks/todo/AZ-687_pre_constructed_replay_mode_guard.md``:
+
+* AC-687-1: a replay-mode :class:`Config` whose ``components`` mapping
+  omits ``c6_tile_cache`` must NOT raise ``KeyError`` inside
+  :func:`build_pre_constructed`. The skipped slots
+  (``c6_descriptor_index`` / ``c6_tile_store`` and, under the same
+  predicate, ``c7_inference`` / ``c3_lightglue_runtime`` / the C5
+  ``(estimator, handle)`` pair) are absent from the returned dict
+  instead of mapping to a stand-in.
+* AC-687-2: live-mode (and any replay config that DOES populate the
+  blocks) continues to seed every key documented in
+  :data:`AIRBORNE_REQUIRED_PRE_CONSTRUCTED_KEYS` — the guard is
+  conditional, not unconditional.
+
+The Jetson Tier-2 e2e gate (AC-687-3) is verified out-of-band; the
+full Tier-1 pytest suite (AC-687-4) is run by the implement skill's
+final test step.
