+# Atlas GCP Production Data Platform Template
+
+Atlas is a reusable, production-oriented batch data platform foundation for Google
+Cloud. It combines Python ingestion, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow,
+credentialless CI, controlled deployment, observability, recovery, governance,
+and cost controls in one repository.
+
+This is not a claim that cloning a repository magically makes a system production
+ready. It provides enforced engineering defaults and operating artifacts that a
+team must configure, validate, deploy, and own.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+Source / synthetic events

+
+## Included capabilities
+
+- Deterministic sample event generation and idempotent batch ingestion
+- Partitioned and clustered BigQuery storage
+- Governed dbt layers, tests, contracts, and incremental processing
+- Airflow DAGs with stable batch identity, retries, auditing, and backfills
+- Credentialless pull-request CI
+- Optional keyless GitHub-to-GCP delivery through Workload Identity Federation
+- Immutable release bundles, migrations, smoke validation, and rollback
+- Structured telemetry, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and runbooks
+- Failure injection, recovery auditing, schema compatibility, and cost guards
+- Ownership, lineage, consumer-impact, retention, security, and evidence controls
+
+## Start here
+
+1. Read [`START_HERE.md`](START_HERE.md).
+2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and replace every example value.
+3. Create a Python virtual environment and install dependencies.
+4. Run credentialless static validation.
+5. Run the local sample pipeline.
+6. Configure an isolated GCP project before any approved cloud mutation.
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull --ff-only origin main
+cp .env.example .env
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-ci.txt
+export PYTHONPATH=src
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static
+python scripts/generate_events.py
+pytest
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The template keeps the `atlas` reference namespace in code and sample assets,
+while cloud identities and runtime resources are configured through environment
+variables. See [`docs/template-configuration.md`](docs/template-configuration.md).
+
+Never deploy the example values. Configure project IDs, buckets, datasets,
+service accounts, notification channels, cost ceilings, retention, and schedules
+for the adopting environment.
+
+## CI and delivery
+
+Pull requests run credentialless validation. Trusted integration and deployment
+workflows are manual and require repository variables for Workload Identity
+Federation:
+
+- `ATLAS_WIF_PROVIDER`
+- `ATLAS_INTEGRATION_SERVICE_ACCOUNT`
+- `ATLAS_DEPLOYER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT`
+
+The bootstrap scripts are plan-first and mutation-gated. Review IAM, cost, and
+cleanup behavior before applying anything.
+
+## Evidence and limitations
+
+The original Atlas reference implementation was tested with synthetic workloads,
+clean-clone validation, CI, controlled cloud deployments, failure drills, and
+operator handoff. Those historical reports remain in `docs/` as engineering
+evidence. They do not prove that a new adoption has passed the same gates.
+
+The reference release lineage includes `atlas-sprint-3-complete` for the orchestrated platform milestone and later Sprint 8 handoff evidence.
+
+A new deployment is complete only after its own CI, isolated cloud validation,
+incident drill, recovery exercise, security review, cost review, and handoff.

+# Start Here
+
+Atlas is a production-data-platform template, not a one-command production
+service. Begin with the route matching your responsibility.
+
+## Adopter / platform engineer
+
+1. Read `README.md` and `docs/template-configuration.md`.
+2. Review `docs/reference-architecture/architecture-invariants.md`.
+3. Replace all sample environment values.
+4. Run `bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static`.
+5. Exercise the local pipeline and tests.
+6. Provision an isolated GCP namespace using plan mode first.
+7. Run one batch, one deliberate failure, one recovery, and cleanup.
+8. Record environment-specific evidence instead of inheriting the reference
+   implementation's claims.
+
+## Operator
+
+Read:
+
+- `docs/handoff/operator-onboarding.md`
+- `docs/runbook.md`
+- `docs/runbook-sprint3.md`
+- `docs/observability-runbook-sprint5.md`
+- `docs/recovery-runbook-sprint6.md`
+
+Be able to answer: Did the pipeline run? Is the data correct and complete? Who is
+alerted? How is it recovered? How is recurrence prevented?
+
+## Reviewer / architect
+
+Start with:
+
+- `docs/reference-architecture/README.md`
+- `docs/reference-architecture/system-context.md`
+- `docs/reference-architecture/interfaces-and-contracts.md`

+
+## Coding agent
+
+Read `docs/handoff/agent-onboarding.md`. Treat generated code as provisional.
+State assumptions, risks, affected files, test plan, and rollback considerations
+before major changes. Do not claim production readiness without environment-specific
+evidence.

+# Atlas Local Airflow (Sprint 3)
+
+Local Airflow **3.1.7** with Composer-parity provider pins for DAG development and
+acceptance testing before Composer deployment.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+cd Atlas-GCP-Build
+source airflow/airflow.env.example   # or copy to .env
+bash scripts/setup_airflow.sh
+bash scripts/start_airflow_local.sh
+bash scripts/test_airflow_sprint3.sh
+```
+
+## Version pins
+
+See [requirements-airflow.txt](requirements-airflow.txt) and [ADR-005](../docs/adr/ADR-005-airflow-composer-parity.md).
+
+Target Composer image: `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12`.
+
+## Layout
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `../dags/` | DAG definitions and parse-time helpers |
+| `../.airflow/` | Local metadata DB (gitignored) |
+| `../.venv-airflow/` | Pinned virtualenv (gitignored) |
+| `../logs/airflow/` | Run summaries and task evidence |
+
+## Composer mapping
+
+Deploy DAGs to `/home/airflow/gcs/dags/project_atlas/` and runtime assets to
+`/home/airflow/gcs/data/` with `ATLAS_ROOT` pointing at the data path.

+# ADR-002: Isolated Atlas dbt Project Location
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+The repository already contains a DEOS dbt scaffold at `transform/dbt/`. Sprint 2 needs an
+Atlas-specific warehouse with BigQuery datasets, anomaly classification, and quarantine
+semantics that must not collide with the DEOS validation project.
+
+## Decision
+
+Create a nested dbt project at `dbt/atlas_dbt/` with its own virtual
+environment, package lock, and `dbt-atlas` MCP entry. Leave `transform/dbt/` unchanged.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Atlas operators use `scripts/setup_dbt.sh` and `.venv-dbt`.
+- DEOS operators continue using the root `.venv` and existing dbt MCP server.
+- Documentation must clearly distinguish the two projects.

+# ADR-003: Corrected Sprint 2 Temporal Quality Semantics
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 1 validation labeled 300 rows as "late_arriving_events" using
+`event_date < DATE(event_timestamp)`. Those rows are backdated declared dates, not true
+event-time late arrivals relative to ingestion time.
+
+## Decision
+
+Sprint 2 dbt models use corrected flags:
+
+| Flag | Definition | Expected on validated run | Blocking |
+| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
+| `is_future_dated` | `DATE(event_timestamp) > DATE(ingested_at)` | 150 | Yes |
+| `is_event_time_late_arriving` | `DATE(event_timestamp) < DATE(ingested_at)` | 0 | No |
+| `is_backdated_event_date` | `event_date < DATE(ingested_at)` | 300 | No |
+| `has_event_date_timestamp_mismatch` | `event_date != DATE(event_timestamp)` | 300 | No |
+
+The 300 backdated and 300 mismatch populations are the same physical records and must not
+be double-counted during reconciliation.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Sprint 1 generator and raw data remain unchanged for auditability.
+- Sprint 2 documentation and singular tests use the corrected definitions.
+- Warning flags may coexist on accepted canonical rows.
+
+## Sprint 3 refinement — reproducible temporal semantics for backfills
+
+### Context
+
+The Sprint 2 flags above reference wall-clock `DATE(ingested_at)`. That makes
+event classification (accept/reject) a function of *when the pipeline physically
+ran*: a historical batch (e.g. `processing_date = 2026-07-01`) ingested on
+2026-07-18 flips `future_dated` 150→0, `event_time_late` 0→~50000, and
+`backdated` 300→~50000. This broke the Sprint 3 batch-identity/backfill guarantee
+(ADR-006): reprocessing the same raw batch produced different `fct_events`/marts
+and failed `assert_source_anomaly_profile`.
+
+### Decision
+
+Evaluate the three ingestion-relative flags against the batch's **logical
+processing date** instead of wall-clock ingest time:
+
+| Flag | Sprint 3 definition |
+| --- | --- |
+| `is_future_dated` | `DATE(event_timestamp) > COALESCE(processing_date, DATE(ingested_at))` |
+| `is_event_time_late_arriving` | `DATE(event_timestamp) < COALESCE(processing_date, DATE(ingested_at))` |
+| `is_backdated_event_date` | `event_date < COALESCE(processing_date, DATE(ingested_at))` |
+| `has_event_date_timestamp_mismatch` | `event_date != DATE(event_timestamp)` (unchanged, already reproducible) |
+
+`processing_date` is a new nullable column on `atlas_raw.events`, persisted by the
+loader per batch. Legacy Sprint 1 rows have `processing_date = NULL` and fall back
+to `DATE(ingested_at)`, preserving prior behavior. `assert_source_anomaly_profile`
+asserts the temporal counts only when every scoped row carries `processing_date`,
+degrading gracefully for legacy scopes.
+
+### Consequences
+
+- Historical backfills classify identically to the original run (verified live:
+  batch `atlas-20260701` recovered `FAILED`→`SUCCESS`; fresh historical batch
+  `atlas-20260716` loaded and passed with native `processing_date`).
+- For same-day batches `processing_date == DATE(ingested_at)`, so the expected
+  150 / 0 / 300 / 300 profile is unchanged.

+# ADR-004: Omission of dbt Snapshots in Sprint 2
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Project Atlas Sprint 2 focuses on governed staging, classification, quarantine, and trusted
+facts/marts over an immutable raw landing table. Historical slowly-changing tracking for
+users and countries is out of scope for the first warehouse sprint.
+
+## Decision
+
+Do not add dbt snapshots in Sprint 2. User and country dimensions are rebuilt from accepted
+events and the country seed on each build. Incremental behavior is limited to `fct_events`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Faster delivery of classification and reconciliation gates.
+- Future sprints can introduce snapshots or Type 2 dimensions if product requirements change.
+- Airflow handoff can trigger full dimension rebuilds until snapshot coverage exists.

+# ADR-005: Airflow Composer Parity Pins
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted — 2026-07-14
+Amended — 2026-07-18 (Sprint 4: Composer image revised to `build.13`)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 3 introduces local Airflow orchestration that must behave consistently with
+Cloud Composer before production deployment.
+
+## Decision
+
+Pin local Airflow to **3.1.7** with Google provider **20.0.0** and Standard provider
+**1.12.1**, targeting Composer image `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12`.
+
+## Sprint 4 amendment — 2026-07-18
+
+The Sprint 4 preflight verified via the Composer API (`us-central1`) that
+`composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12` is **no longer offered**. The only available
+Composer 3 image carrying Airflow 3.1.7 is:
+
+```
+composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13
+```
+
+Decision (owner-approved 2026-07-18): target **`composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`**
+for the Sprint 4 managed deployment. The Airflow core version (3.1.7) and the
+provider pins above are unchanged; only the Composer build number moved. Provider
+compatibility must be re-verified against the live environment during the Sprint 4
+smoke run before the release tag is created.
+
+Install core using official Python 3.12 constraints, then apply provider pins and
+record `pip check` output in the preflight report.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Local Python 3.12.3 differs from Composer Python 3.11.8; parse-time helpers must
+  remain compatible with both.
+- Revisit this ADR if the Composer image is retired or upgraded.

+# ADR-006: Stable Batch Identity and Immutable Ingestion
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted — 2026-07-14
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 1 keyed raw loads on `pipeline_run_id`, preventing safe reruns of the same
+data batch under a new execution identity.
+
+## Decision
+
+Introduce `batch_id` as the stable data identity and keep `pipeline_run_id` as the
+execution identity. GCS paths use `batch_id=` prefixes with checksum metadata.
+Raw loads evaluate batch row counts (0/load, exact/skip, partial-fail, excess-fail).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Sprint 1 rows retain `batch_id IS NULL`.
+- dbt models propagate `batch_id` for Airflow-scoped reconciliation tests.
+
+## Sprint 7 amendment: replay and duplicate semantics
+
+INC-S6-001 exposed a defect: `int_event_classification` computed a single
+**global** duplicate rank and the batch-scoped anomaly profile counted it, so a
+same-date reprocessing batch (whose deterministic generator produces identical
+`event_id`s) inflated the within-batch duplicate count to the whole batch and
+failed `assert_source_anomaly_profile`. Global fact uniqueness was fine; the
+classification/measurement conflated two distinct concepts.
+
+Sprint 7 makes the semantics explicit. Every classified row now carries:
+
+- `within_batch_duplicate_rank` — `row_number()` partitioned by
+  `(coalesce(batch_id, pipeline_run_id), event_id)`, latest write wins.
+- `is_within_batch_duplicate` — `within_batch_duplicate_rank > 1`. This is the
+  **batch-scoped data-quality anomaly** (the 50 intentional extras).
+- `duplicate_rank` — global canonical rank per `event_id`, ordered
+  `within_batch_duplicate_rank asc, ingested_at asc, …`. **First-seen batch
+  wins**, so a replay never disturbs an already-published canonical prior batch;
+  within a batch, latest still wins.
+- `is_duplicate_extra` — `duplicate_rank > 1` (feeds `rejection_reason`;
+  preserves exactly one canonical row per `event_id`).
+- `duplicate_scope` — `within_batch` | `cross_batch_replay` | `none`.
+
+The anomaly profile now counts `is_within_batch_duplicate` (batch-scoped), so a
+stray same-date batch no longer corrupts a healthy batch's profile, and
+cross-batch replays are separately measurable via `duplicate_scope`.
+
+### Invariants (unchanged or newly guaranteed)
+
+| Invariant | How preserved |
+| --- | --- |
+| Exact batch rerun idempotent | raw load is create-only per batch; classification deterministic |
+| Same date, different batch | classified as `cross_batch_replay`, rejected; first batch stays canonical |
+| 50 within-batch extras detectable | `is_within_batch_duplicate` counts exactly them |
+| Cross-batch replay measurable | `duplicate_scope = 'cross_batch_replay'` |
+| Global fact uniqueness | `fct_events` `unique_key = event_id`; one canonical accepted row |
+| accepted + rejected = raw | classification preserves physical-row grain |
+| Prior healthy batches stable | first-seen-wins canonical ordering |
+| Historical backfills deterministic | ordering uses only stable row attributes |
+
+Tested by dbt unit tests (`test_cross_batch_replay_preserves_first_seen`,
+`test_duplicate_ranking_keeps_latest_canonical`, precedence/warning tests) and
+verified live in the Sprint 7 acceptance window. `fct_events` grain is unchanged
+(one row per `event_id`); this amendment does not change that grain.

+# ADR-008: GitHub Actions Validation Boundary
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted — 2026-07-18
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 4 introduces independent CI on GitHub. The delivery system must be
+auditable, reproducible outside GitHub, and safe against untrusted
+pull-request code and supply-chain drift.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Validation logic lives in repository scripts
+
+`scripts/validate_ci.sh` is the canonical validation contract.
+Workflows only provision pinned toolchains and invoke it with a gate group
+(`security-shell`, `python`, `airflow`, `dbt`). Consequences:
+
+- Cursor Cloud Agents, local developers, and CI run byte-identical gates.
+- Workflow YAML carries no business or validation logic that could drift
+  from what engineers run locally.
+- A requested gate group whose toolchain is missing **fails** rather than
+  skips, so CI cannot silently pass by not installing a tool.
+
+### Pull-request CI is credentialless
+
+`atlas-ci.yml` sets `permissions: contents: read` at the workflow level and
+uses no GCP credentials, no service-account JSON, and no repository secrets.
+Untrusted pull-request code therefore executes with nothing to exfiltrate.
+GCP integration testing runs only from trusted workflow code on `main` (or a
+SHA verified reachable from `main`) via Workload Identity Federation
+(ADR-009). `pull_request_target` is never used to execute untrusted code
+with credentials.
+
+### Version pinning
+
+| Component | Pin | Source |
+|---|---|---|
+| Python | 3.12 (Composer parity gap with 3.11.8 documented in ADR-005) | `setup-python` |
+| apache-airflow | 3.1.7 + official `constraints-3.12.txt` | `airflow/requirements-airflow.txt` |
+| Google provider | 20.0.0 | same |
+| Standard provider | 1.12.1 | same |
+| dbt-core / dbt-bigquery | 1.11.12 / 1.11.3 | `dbt/requirements-dbt.txt` |
+| dbt_utils | 1.4.1 | `packages.yml` |
+| ruff / mypy / yamllint / shellcheck-py / pytest | see `requirements-ci.txt` | verified locally 2026-07-18 |
+
+Versions are upgraded deliberately, never because newer versions exist;
+Composer-target compatibility (ADR-005) always wins.
+
+### Action supply-chain controls
+
+- Every third-party action is pinned to an immutable full commit SHA with a
+  comment naming the release tag.
+- SHAs were resolved via `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/git/ref/tags/<tag>`,
+  dereferencing annotated tags to commit objects, on 2026-07-18:
+  - `actions/checkout@v5` → `93cb6efe18208431cddfb8368fd83d5badbf9bfd`
+  - `actions/setup-python@v6` → `ece7cb06caefa5fff74198d8649806c4678c61a1`
+  - `actions/upload-artifact@v4` → `ea165f8d65b6e75b540449e92b4886f43607fa02`
+- Floating tags (`@v4`) are never used for execution.
+
+### Cache boundaries
+
+- `setup-python` pip caching is keyed on the pinned requirements files.
+- Caches contain only public package downloads — never credentials, tokens,
+  or workspace state. No credential material exists in PR CI to leak.
+
+### Trusted versus untrusted execution
+
+| Context | Code | Credentials |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pull_request` CI | untrusted (fork/branch) | none (read-only token) |
+| `push` to `main` CI | trusted, reviewed | none (CI needs none) |
+| Deployment / integration workflows | trusted `main`-reachable SHAs only, `workflow_dispatch` | short-lived WIF tokens (ADR-009) |
+
+### Static-mode dbt boundary
+
+`dbt deps` + `dbt parse` run in static CI with a placeholder oauth profile
+(parse never opens a warehouse connection). `dbt compile` and dbt unit tests
+against BigQuery require a live adapter connection, so they run in
+integration mode with isolated `atlas_ci_<run_id>` resources instead of in
+credentialless PR CI. This is a deliberate deviation from "compile in static
+mode": compiling BigQuery incremental models introspects relations and
+cannot be done credential-free without mocking that would weaken the gate.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A green `atlas-ci-gate` check is reproducible locally with
+  `bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static`.
+- Adding a new gate means editing one script, and every consumer inherits it.
+- Action upgrades are explicit diffs of full SHAs, reviewable against
+  upstream release notes.

+# ADR-009: Keyless GitHub-to-GCP Authentication via Workload Identity Federation
+
+- **Status:** Accepted (Sprint 4)
+- **Date:** 2026-07-18
+- **Deciders:** Project owner + Sprint 4 delivery agent (IAM approved by owner at every stage)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 4 requires GitHub Actions to authenticate to GCP project
+`example-gcp-project` for isolated integration testing and controlled
+Composer deployment. Storing a Google service-account JSON key as a GitHub
+secret is a long-lived, exfiltratable credential and is prohibited by the
+Sprint 4 mission statement.
+
+## Decision
+
+Use GitHub's OIDC token issuer with Google Workload Identity Federation and
+short-lived service-account impersonation. No service-account key is ever
+created.
+
+### Resources (created live by `scripts/bootstrap_github_wif.sh`)
+
+| Resource | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Project | `example-gcp-project` (number `123456789012`) |
+| WIF pool | `atlas-github-pool` (global) |
+| WIF provider | `atlas-github-provider` (OIDC, issuer `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com`) |
+| Integration SA | `atlas-github-integration@example-gcp-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com` |
+| Deployer SA | `atlas-github-deployer@example-gcp-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com` |
+| Deployment bucket | `gs://atlas-deployments-example-gcp-project` (versioned, uniform access) |
+| CI bucket | `gs://atlas-ci-example-gcp-project` (uniform access, 7-day object TTL) |
+
+### Trust conditions
+
+Two layers, both required:
+
+1. **Provider attribute condition** — tokens are rejected at the pool boundary
+   unless
+   `assertion.repository_owner == 'YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER' && assertion.repository == 'YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY'`.
+   The owner check guards against repository transfer/rename attacks.
+2. **Per-SA impersonation binding** — `roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser` is
+   granted only to the principal set
+   `attribute.repository_and_ref/YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY@refs/heads/main`,
+   using a custom mapped claim `repository_and_ref = assertion.repository + '@' + assertion.ref`.
+   Pull-request runs (`refs/pull/...`) and any other refs cannot impersonate
+   either service account, which enforces the "trusted workflow code only"
+   rule from Phase 7: only workflows executing code already merged to `main`
+   can obtain GCP credentials.
+
+Mapped claims: `sub`, `repository`, `repository_owner`, `ref`,
+`repository_and_ref`.
+
+### Identity separation and least privilege
+
+Two identities because integration testing and deployment have different
+blast radii:
+
+| Role | `atlas-github-integration` | `atlas-github-deployer` |
+|---|---|---|
+| `roles/bigquery.jobUser` (project) | yes | yes |
+| `roles/bigquery.dataEditor` (project) | yes † | yes † |
+| `roles/storage.admin` on CI bucket | yes | no |
+| `roles/storage.admin` on deployment bucket | no | yes |
+| `roles/composer.user` (project) | no | yes |
+| `roles/composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` (project) | no | yes |
+
+Neither identity has Owner, Editor, Project IAM Admin, organization roles, or
+service-account-key administration. Neither can mint keys or escalate IAM.
+
+† **Documented risk:** BigQuery offers no IAM primitive that allows
+"create datasets matching `atlas_ci_*` only". `roles/bigquery.dataEditor` at
+project scope is the minimum role that lets the integration identity create
+its ephemeral `atlas_ci_<run_id>` datasets, and it also technically permits
+writes to canonical datasets. Compensating controls: (a) only `main`-ref
+workflows can impersonate the SA, so the code path is repository-controlled
+and reviewed; (b) the integration script derives all dataset names from
+`GITHUB_RUN_ID` and never references canonical dataset names in write paths;
+(c) all integration activity is auditable in Cloud Logging under the SA
+identity. A future hardening option is a dedicated CI project.
+
+### GitHub workflow contract
+
+Jobs that authenticate must set exactly:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  id-token: write
+```
+
+and use `google-github-actions/auth` (pinned to a full commit SHA) with the
+committed provider resource name and SA email. These identifiers are not
+secrets — possession of them grants nothing without a token that satisfies
+the conditions above — so they live in version-controlled workflow files rather
+than GitHub secrets, which also keeps pull-request CI credentialless.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Pull-request CI remains credentialless by construction (PR refs cannot
+  impersonate).
+- Rotating trust requires editing IAM bindings, not rotating secrets.
+- `bootstrap_github_wif.sh` is idempotent and plan-first
+  (`ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true` required for mutation), so drift can be repaired
+  by re-running it.
+- The final end-to-end proof is a real GitHub Actions run exchanging an OIDC
+  token; captured as Phase 7/19 evidence in the validation report.

+# ADR-010: Versioned Deployment, Rollback, and Ephemeral Composer Evidence
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted — 2026-07-18 (owner decisions recorded verbatim; implementation lands in
+Sprint 4)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 4 introduces the first automated GitHub-to-GCP delivery path for the Atlas
+batch pipeline. Three owner decisions taken on 2026-07-18 constrain the design:
+
+1. **Composer is ephemeral.** The managed Composer environment exists only to
+   capture live deployment, smoke, and rollback evidence. It must not stay alive
+   and compound cost ("that's a hard no"). Sprint 4 completion is claimed on
+   durable evidence, not on a permanently running environment.
+2. **Composer image is `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`.** The originally
+   pinned `build.12` was retired upstream; see the ADR-005 amendment.
+3. **The repository is on the GitHub Free plan.** Required reviewers on GitHub
+   Environments and full branch-protection rules are not enforceable on private
+   Free-plan repositories. Deployment governance therefore uses the fallback
+   controls described below, and documentation must not claim reviewer gates
+   that the plan cannot enforce.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Immutable versioned releases
+
+- Every deployment builds a deterministic bundle containing only runtime assets
+  (DAGs, `src/atlas`, runtime scripts, `dbt/atlas_dbt`, config, approved SQL
+  migrations, dependency manifests) plus a `release-manifest.json` carrying the
+  git SHA, versions, file checksums, and schema-compatibility declarations.
+- Bundles are stored create-only under
+  `gs://<ATLAS_DEPLOYMENT_BUCKET>/atlas/releases/<git_sha>/`. An existing release
+  path with a matching checksum is reused; a differing checksum fails the build.
+  Nothing is ever overwritten.
+- The mutable Composer runtime path (`data/current/`) is always a
+  promoted copy of one immutable release. Rollback re-promotes a prior release;
+  it never mutates or deletes historical bundles, moves tags, or rewrites git
+  history.
+
+### Rollback rules
+
+- Runtime rollback is permitted only when the prior release's manifest declares
+  compatibility with the currently applied schema version
+  (`min_compatible_schema_version`).
+- BigQuery migrations are additive by default and are never automatically
+  reversed. A rollback that would require reversing a destructive migration is a
+  manual operator decision.
+- A rollback is only claimed successful after its own smoke batch reaches
+  terminal `SUCCESS` and `atlas_ops.deployments` records `ROLLED_BACK`.
+
+### Ephemeral Composer lifecycle (cost control)
+
+- The Composer environment is created (gated by
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_COMPOSER_CREATE=true`) only when the delivery pipeline is ready
+  for live acceptance, and is **deleted after the evidence bundle is captured**.
+- The permanent record of the deployment is the durable evidence, not the
+  environment: `atlas_ops.deployments` and `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` rows,
+  immutable release bundles in GCS, GitHub Actions run logs and artifacts, and
+  `docs/validation-report-sprint4.md`.
+- Re-verification at any later date follows the documented runbook: recreate the
+  environment from the pinned image, promote the tagged immutable release, rerun
+  the smoke batch, delete the environment.
+- Estimated cost of the evidence-capture window (small Composer 3 environment,
+  measured in hours, not months) is recorded in the validation report. Leaving
+  the environment running (~$350–450/month) is explicitly rejected.
+
+### Free-plan governance fallback
+
+Because required environment reviewers and branch-protection API access are
+unavailable on this plan:
+
+- Deployment workflows trigger only via `workflow_dispatch` with an exact typed
+  confirmation input, verify the target SHA is reachable from `origin/main`, and
+  serialize under an `atlas-dev-deployment` concurrency group.
+- No deployment triggers automatically from a pull request.
+- The absence of enforced reviewer gates and branch protection is documented as
+  an unresolved governance limitation in `docs/ci-cd-governance-sprint4.md`,
+  together with the exact settings to enable if the repository is upgraded.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Sprint 4's defensible claim is evidence-based: a validated change moved from an
+  agent-created branch through independent CI and keyless GCP authentication to
+  a real Composer deployment, smoke run, and tested rollback — all durable in
+  audit tables, GCS, and workflow logs — even though the environment itself is
+  deleted afterward.
+- Anyone re-running acceptance must budget for environment creation time
+  (typically ~25 minutes for Composer 3) plus the smoke matrix.
+- If the GitHub plan is upgraded, governance should be revisited: enable branch
+  protection on `main`, require the `atlas-ci-gate` check, and add required

+# ADR-011: Atlas Observability Model (Three Planes)
+
+Status: accepted (Sprint 5)
+Date: 2026-07-19
+Owner: the primary operator (primary operator)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprints 1–4 produced durable *audit* records (`atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`,
+`atlas_ops.deployments`, `atlas_ops.schema_migrations`) but no centralized
+logs, no metrics, no alerting, and no dashboard. Sprint 4 live acceptance
+additionally proved a real defect: Composer 3 task/worker logs never reached
+Cloud Logging in this project (see `preflight-sprint5.md` §4), forcing
+diagnosis through the Airflow REST API. Operators need to answer "did it
+run, where is it failing, is the data correct and fresh, what did it cost,
+who was told, and what do I do" from durable, queryable surfaces.
+
+## Decision
+
+Atlas observability uses three deliberately separate planes. No plane
+imitates another; every signal declares one source of truth.
+
+### Plane 1 — Operational audit (BigQuery, `atlas_ops`)
+
+Durable, queryable history at controlled grains:
+
+| Table | Grain | Source of truth for |
+|---|---|---|
+| `pipeline_runs` | one row per pipeline run | run status, row counts, freshness |
+| `task_events` (new, 004) | one row per task attempt event | task-level diagnosis, retries, telemetry completeness |
+| `quality_results` (new, 005) | one row per check per run | data correctness evidence |
+| `monitor_evaluations` (new, 006) | one row per monitor check per window | monitor history, drill evidence |
+| `deployments` | one row per deploy/rollback attempt | delivery status |
+| `schema_migrations` | one row per migration | schema history |
+
+### Plane 2 — Logs (Cloud Logging, Atlas-dedicated)
+
+Cloud Logging stores high-cardinality, high-detail events: Airflow task
+output, scheduler/worker/DAG-processor activity, structured Atlas
+application events (one JSON contract, ADR §logging), deployment/rollback
+events, monitor evaluations, and drill markers. Routing:
+
+```text
+project logs → sink atlas-observability-sink → log bucket atlas-observability
+  (30-day retention, Log Analytics enabled) → view atlas-runtime
+  → linked read-only BigQuery dataset atlas_logs
+```
+
+The `_Default` bucket keeps receiving source logs (the Atlas sink is
+additive; no exclusion filters are added), so nothing is lost if the Atlas
+bucket is misconfigured.
+
+### Plane 3 — Metrics and incidents (Cloud Monitoring)
+
+Low-cardinality time series (`custom.googleapis.com/atlas/<domain>/<metric>`),
+dashboards, alert policies, incident lifecycle, and notification routing to
+the verified operator email channel. Metric labels are bounded to:
+`environment, dag_id, task_id, component, status, check_name, severity`.
+Run/batch/deployment identifiers and raw error strings are **forbidden** as
+metric labels; they live in Planes 1–2 and are joined via time + labels.
+
+## Source-of-truth declarations
+
+| Question | Source of truth |
+|---|---|
+| Did the run succeed? | `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` |
+| Which task failed, which attempt? | `atlas_ops.task_events` + structured logs |
+| Is the data correct? | `atlas_ops.quality_results` (dbt/warehouse evidence linked) |
+| Is the data fresh? | latest SUCCESS in `pipeline_runs`; surfaced as `atlas/pipeline/last_success_age_seconds` |
+| Did the deployment work? | `atlas_ops.deployments` |
+| Is something wrong *right now*? | Cloud Monitoring incidents |
+| Detailed history / forensics | `atlas-observability` log bucket (via `atlas_logs`) |
+| What did it cost? | region-qualified `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` (ADR-012) |
+
+## Correlation hierarchy
+
+```text
+deployment_id → airflow_run_id → pipeline_run_id → batch_id → task_id → attempt_number
+```
+
+Every structured event carries the identifiers that exist at its scope; the
+logging contract (Phase 2) enforces field names so one log filter follows a
+run across planes.
+
+## Trust boundaries, retention, degradation
+
+- **Telemetry must never corrupt data processing**: audit/metric/log write
+  failures emit a fallback structured error and degrade visibly (telemetry
+  completeness monitor) but do not fail a task that moved data correctly —
+  except the finalizer, which reports incomplete telemetry explicitly.
+- **Retention**: Atlas log bucket 30 days (measured MB/day scale; revisit
+  with real volume). `atlas_ops` tables are permanent (MB scale). Metric
+  retention follows Cloud Monitoring defaults.
+- **Access boundary**: linking `atlas_logs` into BigQuery extends log read
+  access to BigQuery IAM; the linked dataset is read-only and the log view
+  is least-privileged. Documented in `security-review-sprint5.md`.
+- **Intentional teardown**: `monitoring_enabled=false` in
+  `config/observability.yaml` (and disabled alert policies) precedes
+  Composer deletion so absence-based alerts do not fire on an intentionally
+  absent environment. Disabled runtime is distinguishable from stale runtime.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Everything in BigQuery** (logs as rows): rejected — loses Cloud Logging
+  ingestion, filters, retention control, and Monitoring integration; invites
+  unbounded scans.
+- **Everything in Cloud Monitoring** (audit as metrics): rejected — metric
+  cardinality explodes with per-run identifiers and history is lossy.
+- **Third-party observability stack**: out of scope by charter.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Operators get one place per question, with correlation identifiers
+  bridging planes.
+- Costs stay near zero at rest (clean-slate project; measured baselines in
+  `cost-review-sprint5.md`).
+- The Sprint 4 missing-logs defect becomes a first-class acceptance gate:
+  Plane 2 is only claimed after live retrieval of Composer task logs through
+  the documented filters.

+# ADR-012: Atlas BigQuery Cost Attribution
+
+Status: accepted (Sprint 5)
+Date: 2026-07-19
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 5 must answer "is delivery or warehouse cost behaving abnormally"
+(mission question 6). BigQuery exposes job usage through region-qualified
+`INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` (bytes processed/billed, slot ms, errors, labels,
+identity), but only if Atlas jobs are distinguishable from everything else
+in the project. Query-text matching is fragile and was rejected as a primary
+strategy.
+
+## Decision
+
+Attribution evidence order (strongest first):
+
+1. **Job labels** — every Atlas job carries
+   `application=atlas, component=<bounded>, environment=atlas-dev`.
+   - Python: `atlas.observability.cost.labeled_bigquery_client` sets the
+     labels via the client's `default_query_job_config`; all Atlas modules
+     (audit, task_events, quality_results, migrations, deployments,
+     validation, loader, preflight, resources) create clients through it.
+     Components are drawn from a bounded set
+     (`pipeline, monitor, deployment, validation, audit, migration,
+     ingestion, adhoc`); run/batch identifiers are excluded by design.
+   - dbt: the officially supported `query-comment` + `job-label: true`
+     configuration in `dbt_project.yml` converts a static JSON comment
+     (`application=atlas, component=dbt, environment=atlas-dev`) into job
+     labels. No dbt internals are patched.
+2. **Runtime identity** — `atlas-composer-runtime`,
+   `atlas-github-integration`, `atlas-github-deployer` service accounts
+   (`user_email` in JOBS) catch anything that escaped labeling.
+3. **Referenced/destination Atlas datasets** — forensic fallback only.
+
+Canonical queries live in `observability/queries/bigquery_cost.sql`:
+daily bytes processed/billed, slot ms, job failures, usage by component,
+unusually expensive jobs, and a labeled-vs-identity trend that quantifies
+attribution coverage. All queries exclude parent `SCRIPT` rows (double
+counting) and bound `creation_time`.
+
+The monitor DAG publishes windowed
+`custom.googleapis.com/atlas/cost/bigquery_bytes_billed` and
+`.../cost/bigquery_job_count` gauges from the same attribution and stores
+evaluations in `atlas_ops.monitor_evaluations`. The cost-anomaly alert
+compares the window against the configured baseline ratio
+(`config/observability.yaml`); the cost drill uses a synthetic signal, never
+a deliberately expensive query.
+
+## Rules
+
+- No full query text in Atlas operational tables (log/security hygiene).
+- No `pipeline_run_id`/`batch_id` in job labels: cardinality is unnecessary
+  because JOBS already timestamps every job and Plane 1 orders runs in time.
+- On-demand pricing estimate (`$6.25/TiB`) is a planning heuristic, not a
+  billing source; the Cloud Billing export remains authoritative for spend.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Cost questions are answerable per day and per component with bounded
+  scans (~180-day JOBS retention).
+- Attribution coverage is itself measurable (query 6); a growing
+  `unlabeled_jobs` count is a regression signal.
+- Known gap: BigQuery jobs issued by third-party tools without labels or
+  Atlas identities (e.g. ad-hoc console queries by humans) attribute only via
+  dataset references; accepted for a development project.

+# ADR-013: Controlled Fault Injection
+
+Status: Accepted (Sprint 6)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 6 must prove that Atlas detects, contains, and recovers from realistic
+failures. That requires *causing* failures — in a system whose canonical data,
+audit history, and IAM posture must never become collateral damage. An
+ungoverned "chaos" switch would be worse than no testing at all.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **One catalog.** Every injectable failure is declared in
+   `config/failure_scenarios.yaml` with a full contract: injection method,
+   expected detection/alert/containment, allowed data impact, recovery
+   action, verification queries, cleanup, approvals, and hard duration/cost
+   ceilings. CI validates the catalog schema (`gate_failure_injection`);
+   an under-specified scenario cannot exist.
+2. **Disabled by default, explicitly armed.** Activation requires ALL of:
+   an explicit scenario id in `ATLAS_INJECTION_SCENARIO`,
+   `ATLAS_APPROVE_FAILURE_INJECTION=true`, and every scenario-specific
+   approval (`ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`, `ATLAS_APPROVE_DESTRUCTIVE_FIXTURE`,
+   `ATLAS_APPROVE_ROLLBACK_TEST`). A lingering approval variable alone is
+   inert; environment inheritance can never arm an injection.
+3. **Never scheduled, never canonical, never production.**
+   `atlas.failure_injection.framework` refuses scheduled Airflow runs,
+   batch ids without the isolated `atlas-s6-` prefix, and any environment
+   other than `atlas-dev`. Refusal raises — there is no silent fallback to
+   normal execution, and a requested-but-refused injection logs a structured
+   `failure_injection_refused` event.
+4. **No CRITICAL blast radius.** Risk levels are LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH only; the
+   schema has no CRITICAL tier, and destructive operations are restricted to
+   isolated fixtures gated by `ATLAS_APPROVE_DESTRUCTIVE_FIXTURE`.
+5. **The CLI plans; the operator mutates.** `run_failure_scenario.sh`
+   authorizes, emits telemetry, and prints the exact injection steps; cloud
+   mutations are explicit logged commands executed inside the game-day
+   window, keeping every destructive step reviewable.
+6. **Bounded.** Every scenario carries `maximum_duration_minutes` (≤ 120,
+   enforced via deadline checks) and `maximum_cost_usd` (≤ $1).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Drill work is reproducible from Git: the catalog is the runbook's contract.
+- Normal pipeline execution is provably injection-free (CI gate + unit tests
+  covering default-off, approval, environment, batch, and schedule refusal).
+- The framework adds one more approval ceremony per drill; that is the point.

+# ADR-014: Recovery Action Model
+
+Status: Accepted (Sprint 6)
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 3–5 record what *happened* (pipeline runs, deployments, task events,
+quality results, monitor evaluations). They do not record what an operator
+*did about it*. Without a durable recovery grain, "we recovered" is a claim
+with no evidence, and repeated incidents cannot be compared.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Separate grain.** `atlas_ops.recovery_actions` stores one row per
+   recovery action attempt, keyed by `recovery_id` and written with
+   idempotent MERGE (migration 007). Recovery actions link to incidents,
+   scenarios, pipeline runs, batches, and deployments — they never mutate
+   those records and are never mixed into `pipeline_runs`.
+2. **Controlled vocabulary.** Action types are the fixed set
+   RETRY_TASK, RERUN_BATCH, REPAIR_PARTIAL_LOAD, QUARANTINE_BATCH, BACKFILL,
+   RESTORE_RELEASE, FORWARD_MIGRATION, RESTORE_IAM, REBUILD_PARTITION,
+   PAUSE_SCHEDULE, RESUME_SCHEDULE, RECONSTRUCT_AUDIT, RESET_MONITOR,
+   MANUAL_CONTAINMENT. Statuses: RUNNING, SUCCESS, FAILED, PARTIAL, ABORTED.
+3. **Verification is the recovery.** A recovery row can only be finalized
+   SUCCESS with `verification_status=VERIFIED`; the module raises otherwise.
+   The verification contract is the Phase 13 reconciliation list (raw,
+   accepted, rejected, classification, fact, mart counts, uniqueness,
+   referential integrity, success marker, audits, monitor state, incident
+   resolution, no duplicates). PARTIAL and FAILED recoveries are first-class
+   recorded outcomes, not embarrassments to be overwritten.
+4. **Decision tree first.** `docs/recovery-runbook-sprint6.md` defines the
+   choice order: (1) is canonical data corrupted? If no — retry, rerun,
+   restore permission/release. If yes — pause publication, quarantine,
+   determine repair boundary; targeted repair before rebuild, rebuild before
+   restore-and-backfill. Full refresh is never the first response
+   (enforced by the `ATLAS_APPROVE_FULL_REFRESH` cost guard).
+5. **Sanitized like everything else.** `error_summary` passes through the
+   Sprint 4 sanitizer; no secrets, no unbounded stack traces.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Every game-day recovery leaves a queryable audit row with timing evidence
+  for MTTR measurement.
+- "Recovery succeeded" is machine-checkable: `status='SUCCESS'` implies a
+  verification pass by construction.

+# ADR-015: Schema Compatibility and Recovery
+
+Status: Accepted (Sprint 6)
+
+## Context
+
+Atlas migrations are additive by policy (ADR-010), but reality eventually
+demands renames, type changes, and required-field changes. Sprint 6 must
+define how such changes are classified, which ones block, and what they do to
+rollback eligibility.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Classification (extends the Sprint 5 drift classifier)
+
+| Change | Classification | Handling |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Configured new nullable field | ALLOWED | additive migration + manifest update + `allowed_new_fields` entry |
+| Unapproved new nullable field | WARNING | contract update required before adoption |
+| New REQUIRED field | BREAKING | blocked unless backfill + consumer compatibility proven |
+| Removed field | BREAKING | blocked; consumer impact enumerated in the finding |
+| Renamed field | BREAKING | appears as removed+new; requires a compatibility bridge (dual-write or view aliasing) and a documented deprecation period |
+| Incompatible type change | BREAKING | blocked; forward migration plan required |
+| REQUIRED made nullable | BREAKING | blocked pending consumer review |
+| Partition-field change | BREAKING (high-risk) | never automatically applied; manual review + rebuild plan |
+
+### Multi-version inputs
+
+Raw events may carry a `schema_version` discriminator (absent = version 1).
+`atlas.validation.schema_versions` normalizes every supported version onto
+the current logical shape with explicit NULLs for fields older versions lack.
+Unknown versions and unknown fields are rejected — there is no silent
+coercion (S6-SCH-008).
+
+### Rollback eligibility across migrations
+
+The migrations manifest supports a `breaking` flag
+(`<id>|<path>|breaking`). Rollback to a prior release is evaluated by
+`atlas.ops.rollback_compatibility`:
+
+- newer applied migrations that are additive → rollback eligible;
+- any newer applied migration flagged `breaking` → rollback **blocked** with
+  forward-recovery guidance (`ROLLBACK_INCOMPATIBLE` stage failure in the
+  deploy engine);
+- applied migrations the current manifest cannot classify → rollback
+  **refused** rather than guessed.
+
+Breaking BigQuery migrations are never reversed automatically. Recovery from
+a bad release after a breaking migration is always forward: fix on a new
+release, backfill if required, reconcile.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Rollback safety becomes a declared property of the migration history
+  instead of operator folklore.
+- All eight Sprint 6 schema scenarios (S6-SCH-001…008) are covered by unit
+  tests against the classifier, the version normalizer, or the rollback
+  compatibility evaluator.

+# ADR-016: Governance Source of Truth
+
+- Status: Accepted (Sprint 7)
+- Date: 2026-07-19
+- Deciders: lead data architect, governance engineer, data engineering
+
+## Context
+
+Through Sprint 6, Atlas ownership, grain, classification, and retention lived
+implicitly in code, dbt descriptions, and prose docs. There was no single,
+enforceable place that answered "who owns this, what is its grain, who consumes
+it, how long is it retained." A governance system that duplicates this metadata
+in multiple files rots immediately; a governance system that CI ignores is
+decorative.
+
+## Decision
+
+**One source of truth per asset kind, with a generated consolidated catalog.**
+
+1. **dbt models** are governed by their dbt `meta.governance` block in the
+   model's property YAML. dbt already owns model grain (via `description`),
+   contracts, and tests; governance metadata lives alongside them. The dbt
+   `description` is the authoritative `purpose`; it is not duplicated.
+
+2. **Non-dbt assets** (raw/operational tables, buckets, DAGs, dashboards, log
+   resources) are governed by `governance/non_dbt_assets.yml`.
+
+3. A **generated catalog** (`governance/generated/catalog.json` + `.md`) is
+   derived from both sources by `python -m atlas.governance.catalog generate`.
+   It is never hand-edited. CI (`gate_governance`) fails if the committed
+   catalog is stale or if an asset id appears in both sources.
+
+Required fields for every major asset: `asset_id`, `asset_type`, `purpose`,
+`technical_owner`, `business_owner_or_role`, `grain`, `source`, `consumers`,
+`classification`, `retention_class`, `freshness_expectation`, `contract_version`,
+`lifecycle_status`, `repository_path`, `runbook`, `last_reviewed`.
+
+Controlled vocabularies (asset types, lifecycle statuses, classifications,
+retention classes, compatibility classes) live in `governance/policy.yml` and
+are enforced by `atlas.governance.registry.validate_governance`.
+
+Owners must be **role identifiers**, not personal email addresses — this keeps
+ownership durable across staffing and avoids committing personal data.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **A standalone catalog service / metadata platform (DataHub, OpenMetadata).**
+  Rejected: explicitly out of scope for Sprint 7; repository artifacts are
+  sufficient at this scale and avoid a new operational dependency.
+- **A single monolithic governance YAML for everything, including dbt models.**
+  Rejected: it would duplicate grain/contract information dbt already owns,
+  creating exactly the multi-location drift this ADR prevents.
+- **JSON Schema as the only validator.** Kept as optional/documentation
+  (`governance/schemas/`), but the authoritative validator is pure-Python
+  (`validate_governance`) so the CI gate needs no extra dependency and can
+  express cross-file invariants (single source of truth, retention permanence,
+  consumer registration).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Adding/changing an asset is a small, local edit plus a catalog regeneration;
+  CI blocks incomplete or drifted governance.
+- The catalog is a reliable, machine-readable input for lineage/impact
+  (Phase 5), deprecation (Phase 6), and classification/retention (Phase 9).
+- Governance validation is offline and credentialless, so it runs in PR CI.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- Consumer discovery is limited to what the repository declares
+  (`governance/consumers.yml`); external/undeclared consumers are not
+  auto-discovered.
+- This is project-level governance, not organization-wide governance.

+# ADR-017: Schema Compatibility and Deprecation
+
+- Status: Accepted (Sprint 7)
+- Date: 2026-07-19
+- Deciders: lead data architect, data engineering, CI policy engineer
+- Supersedes/extends: ADR-015 (schema compatibility and recovery)
+
+## Context
+
+Atlas had rollback compatibility (ADR-015) and a migration ledger, but no
+automated way to classify whether a proposed schema/contract change is safe, and
+no enforcement that breaking changes carry an approved migration. Sprint 7 makes
+schema evolution a governed, testable process.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Compatibility classes
+
+Every schema/contract change is classified by `atlas.governance.schema_check`:
+
+- **COMPATIBLE** — additive nullable column, widened accepted-value set,
+  description/ownership improvement, additive non-breaking metadata,
+  required→nullable loosening, a brand-new asset.
+- **CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE** — requires consumer migration (e.g. a new
+  required field), approved temporary alias, approved dual-write period,
+  approved type widening with evidence, or deprecation with an active
+  replacement.
+- **BREAKING** — removed/renamed field without a compatibility path,
+  incompatible type change, nullable→required without migration, changed model
+  grain, changed partition field, changed event identity, or a narrowed enum
+  that rejects existing valid values.
+- **PROHIBITED** — destructive canonical change without approval, unversioned
+  contract replacement (schema changed but `contract_version` unchanged or
+  downgraded), changing an applied migration checksum, silent field reuse with
+  different semantics, or bypassing consumer-impact analysis.
+
+### Versioned baselines
+
+`governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json` is a committed, generated snapshot
+of every dbt model's contract-relevant schema (fields, types, nullability,
+accepted values, grain, partition field, event identity, contract version). CI
+regenerates it and fails on drift, so the baseline can never silently rot.
+
+### Checker interface
+
+```
+python -m atlas.governance.schema_check --baseline <manifest> \
+    --candidate <manifest> --output <report> [--fail-on BREAKING]
+python -m atlas.governance.schema_check --generate <manifest>
+```
+
+### Change records
+
+Every non-COMPATIBLE change must ship a change record under
+`governance/changes/` declaring: `change_id`, `asset_id`,
+`old_contract_version`, `new_contract_version`, `compatibility_class`, `reason`,
+`owner`, `consumer_impact`, `migration_plan`, `backfill_plan`, `validation_plan`,
+`rollback_limitations`, `deprecation_window`, `approval_reference`. CI
+(`gate_schema_compatibility` + `gate_governance`) rejects a BREAKING change that
+lacks a complete, approved change record.
+
+### Applied-migration immutability
+
+`sql/migrations/checksums.lock` pins the SHA-256 of every shipped migration.
+`gate_schema_compatibility` fails if any migration file's checksum diverges from
+the lock (PROHIBITED). New migrations must append a lock entry; existing ones
+can never be edited.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Rely only on `on_schema_change=fail` in dbt.** Insufficient: it catches
+  fact-table column drift at build time but not grain/partition/identity/enum
+  changes, contract versioning, or migration edits, and gives no PR-time
+  classification.
+- **Register schemas in an external registry.** Out of scope; committed
+  manifests suffice at this scale.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Additive changes pass CI automatically; breaking changes are blocked unless an
+  approved change record exists.
+- Applied migrations are provably immutable.
+- Never demonstrate a breaking change against canonical Atlas data — fixtures
+  only (`ATLAS_APPROVE_BREAKING_SCHEMA_DEMO`).
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- The generated manifest infers types only where dbt declares `data_type`
+  (currently the enforced `stg_events` contract); other columns record type
+  `unknown`, so type-change detection is strongest on contracted columns.
+  Nullability and accepted-values are inferred from dbt tests.

+- Status: Accepted (Sprint 7)
+- Date: 2026-07-19
+- Deciders: cloud security reviewer, CI policy engineer, platform
+
+## Context
+
+Atlas uses four created service accounts plus Google-managed agents. Sprint 4
+established keyless Workload Identity Federation; Sprint 7 formalizes the
+identity boundaries and makes prohibited IAM patterns enforceable.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Identity boundaries
+
+- **`atlas-composer-runtime`** — Airflow runtime. `composer.worker`,

+- `roles/owner`, `roles/editor`, `roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin`;
+- service-account keys (keyless WIF only);
+- weakened WIF trust conditions (must retain repo + ref scoping);
+- unnecessary cross-project permissions.
+
+### Change discipline
+
+- No permission removal without a positive-use test proving valid workflows
+  still succeed and a negative test proving the removed permission is denied.
+- IAM mutations require `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true`; missing approval yields a
+  documented plan and a blocked gate, never a weakened control.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The IAM posture is documented in an evidence matrix (`iam-review-sprint7.md`).
+- A repository-level CI gate rejects prohibited roles in any managed policy
+  definition, catching regressions before deployment.
+- The one justified reduction (`atlas-github-integration` project→dataset
+  `dataEditor`) is specified with positive/negative tests, pending approval.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- Least privilege is asserted at role scope with workload evidence, not with
+  per-permission usage telemetry.
+- Default-compute-SA `roles/editor` and bootstrap `roles/owner` are pre-existing
+  project-level items outside Atlas's created identities; flagged, not changed.

+# ADR-019: Classification, Retention, and Disposal
+
+- Status: Accepted (Sprint 7)
+- Date: 2026-07-19
+- Deciders: governance engineer, data engineering, security reviewer
+
+## Context
+
+Atlas had no declared data classification or retention policy; disposal relied
+on GCP defaults and memory. Sprint 7 makes classification and retention explicit,
+machine-validated, and safe (permanent evidence can never be accidentally
+expired).
+
+## Decision
+
+### Classification
+
+Four levels — PUBLIC, INTERNAL, CONFIDENTIAL, RESTRICTED
+(`governance/classifications.yml`). Every governed asset declares one. Atlas
+processes only synthetic data, so **no RESTRICTED assets exist**; the policy
+asserts this and CI fails if a RESTRICTED asset appears while the assertion
+holds. INTERNAL is the default for synthetic events and warehouse models.
+
+### Retention classes
+
+Seven classes (`governance/retention.yml`) with an explicit disposal policy and
+an `is_permanent_evidence` flag. Retention rules distinguish canonical
+(rebuildable, indefinite), operational evidence (permanent), temporary resources
+(mandatory TTL), release evidence (retained), and test fixtures (ephemeral).
+
+### Invariants (enforced by `gate_governance`)
+
+- `policy.retention_classes` == `retention.yml` keys (single source of truth).
+- Permanent-evidence classes cannot declare an expiration.
+- Transient classes must declare an expiration (disposal is mandatory).
+- Every asset references a defined retention class.
+
+### Safe disposal
+
+`atlas.governance.retention.plan_expirations()` produces a dry-run disposition
+per asset (`keep_forever` vs `expire_<n>d`). A live applier must assert it never
+expires a `keep_forever` asset. Live expiration/lifecycle changes require
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION=true`; without it, the plan and validations
+are produced and the live mutation is a recorded blocked gate.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Retention is declared, validated, and safe by construction — permanent audit
+  and release evidence cannot be accidentally expired.
+- Temporary resources have a mandatory, declared disposal.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- Retention is declared and validated in configuration; live enforcement on
+  temporary datasets/buckets is applied under approval, not automatically during
+  Sprint 7.

+# ADR-020: BigQuery Performance and Cost Controls
+
+- Status: Accepted (Sprint 7)
+- Date: 2026-07-19
+- Deciders: BigQuery performance engineer, cost steward, CI policy engineer
+- Extends: ADR-012 (cost attribution), Sprint 6 cost guards
+
+## Context
+
+Sprint 6 added runtime cost guards (backfill window, full-refresh approval,
+dry-run ceiling). Sprint 7 makes cost limits **config-driven and enforced before
+spend**, and establishes a measured performance methodology.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Config-driven controls
+
+`config/cost_controls.yaml` declares per-environment limits: `max_query_bytes`,
+`max_performance_suite_bytes`, `max_backfill_days`,
+`full_refresh_requires_approval`, `require_partition_filter_assets`,
+`temporary_dataset_ttl_hours`, `temporary_object_ttl_days`,
+`composer_max_lifecycle_hours`, `log_retention_days`, `release_retention_policy`.
+`gate_performance_cost` validates coherence (per-query ceiling ≤ suite ceiling,
+required fields present).
+
+### Estimation-first execution
+
+`python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard estimate` always dry-runs first
+(bills $0), reports estimated bytes, compares with the environment ceiling, and
+**refuses over-limit execution** unless `ATLAS_APPROVE_COST_OVERRIDE=true`. It
+never executes on estimation failure and emits structured evidence.
+`ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES` caps the whole performance suite.
+
+### Required partition filters
+
+`check-partition-filter` statically rejects queries over
+`require_partition_filter_assets` (raw events, fct_events) that lack a partition
+predicate, catching the classic full-scan cost mistake.
+
+### Performance methodology (ADR-020 / performance-review)
+
+Measure before optimizing. Every performance experiment records bytes
+processed/billed, slot-ms, elapsed, rows in/out, partition pruning, correctness
+checksum, and query plan evidence, under a hard byte ceiling and run labels. A
+change ships only if it preserves grain and correctness; "no material
+improvement" backed by evidence is an acceptable result.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- An unbounded query is blocked at dry-run before material spend (demonstrated).
+- Cost limits live in one config, enforced in CI and at runtime.
+- Performance changes are evidence-gated and correctness-preserving.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- The dataset is ~50k rows/batch; performance results are engineering
+  demonstrations, not production-scale benchmarks.
+- The partition-filter check is a static heuristic on partition-column
+  predicates, not a full SQL analyzer.

+# ADR-021: Reference-Architecture and Handoff Contract
+
+- **Status:** Accepted (Sprint 8)
+- **Date:** 2026-07-19
+- **Deciders:** data architect, release owner
+- **Related:** ADR-016 (governance source of truth), ADR-017 (schema
+  compatibility), all Sprint 1–7 ADRs (the decisions this package curates)
+
+## Context
+
+Through Sprint 7, Atlas was understood primarily by its builder and development
+agents. Knowledge lived across 61 docs, 20 ADRs, and validation reports, but
+there was no single enforceable contract that (a) routes a newcomer to
+authoritative sources, (b) links every major claim to evidence with a live/
+static/blocked distinction, and (c) fails CI when documentation drifts from
+repository truth or depends on hidden context. A repository is not transferable
+merely because it contains many Markdown files.
+
+## Decision
+
+Establish a **reference-architecture and handoff contract** as a first-class,
+CI-enforced artifact set:
+
+1. **`START_HERE.md`** is the canonical entry point and router (not a second
+   README).
+2. **`docs/reference-architecture/`** is a curated *map* over existing evidence —
+   it links to detailed sources and never duplicates full runbooks/reports.
+3. A machine-readable **`reference-manifest.yml`** and **evidence-index.json**
+   are validated by **`python -m atlas.reference.validate`**: referenced files
+   exist, ids are unique, LIVE claims are backed by live evidence, blocked work
+   is never marked complete, and verification commits are present.
+4. A single focused CI gate, **`gate_reference_handoff`**, wired into the existing
+   `validate_ci.sh` python group (no workflow YAML logic duplication), enforces
+   the contract plus: no absolute local paths or prior-conversation dependencies
+   in current onboarding docs, capability limitations present, public-extraction
+   manifest valid, and that `atlas-sprint-8-complete` is not claimed before it
+   exists.
+5. **Reproducibility is tested, not asserted:** `validate_clean_clone.sh` runs
+   from a fresh directory + fresh venv, and an independent handoff test scores a
+   separate agent against a rubric.
+6. **Reference architecture ≠ template.** Atlas is a reference architecture; the
+   template-extraction plan is documented but not executed, and no template
+   status is claimed.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Positive:** documentation cannot silently drift from code (CI fails);
+  newcomers and agents have a single, tested entry path; claims are auditable;
+  blocked work stays visibly blocked.
+- **Cost:** one new gate + validator to maintain; the manifest/evidence index
+  must be updated when docs/claims change (enforced, so drift is caught).
+- **Boundary:** the contract governs Sprint 8 reference artifacts; it does not
+  reopen Sprint 1–7 tags or change existing architecture.
+
+## Invariants introduced
+
+INV-R1..R5 in
+[architecture-invariants.md](../reference-architecture/architecture-invariants.md):
+instructions independent of prior conversations; documents identify their
+verification commit; claims link to evidence; blocked work stays blocked;
+reference architecture must not claim template status.

+# Atlas Alert Catalog (Sprint 5)
+
+All policies are repo-managed in `observability/alerts/*.json`, applied
+idempotently by `scripts/manage_atlas_alerts.sh`, and routed to the verified
+Cloud Monitoring email channel
+`projects/example-gcp-project/notificationChannels/6567861337166986657`
+("Atlas Primary Operator (email)"; the address is deliberately not committed).
+Owner for every policy: the primary operator (primary operator).
+
+All `check_status`-based policies share the same mechanics: the monitor DAG
+publishes `custom.googleapis.com/atlas/monitor/check_status` (0 PASS / 1 WARN
+/ 2 FAIL / −1 NO_DATA / −2 DISABLED) every 30 minutes per `check_name`; the
+condition fires when max-aligned value > 1.5 (10-minute alignment, retest on
+each new point); incidents auto-close 30 minutes after cessation. Test method:
+`manage_atlas_alerts.sh test <check_name>` publishes a synthetic FAIL on the
+`mode=drill` series (drill series never pollute normal history but evaluate
+against the same policy, which is exactly what a drill needs).
+
+| Policy (display name) | Signal (`check_name` unless noted) | Severity | Incident key | Runbook anchor | Main false-positive risk |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Atlas: pipeline failed | `latest_run_state` | critical | `atlas-latest_run_state` | `#alert-atlas-pipeline-failed` | none known |
+| Atlas: data stale | `freshness` (fail ≥ 50 h) | critical | `atlas-freshness` | `#alert-atlas-data-stale` | environment paused without disabling monitoring |
+| Atlas: reconciliation failed | `reconciliation` | critical | `atlas-reconciliation` | `#alert-atlas-reconciliation-failed` | none known |
+| Atlas: critical volume deviation | `volume_deviation` (fail ≥ 80 %) | critical | `atlas-volume_deviation` | `#alert-atlas-volume-deviation` | intentional batch-size change |
+| Atlas: breaking schema drift | `schema_drift` | critical | `atlas-schema_drift` | `#alert-atlas-schema-drift` | manifest not regenerated after approved migration |
+| Atlas: deployment failed | `deployment_failure` | critical | `atlas-deployment_failure` | `#alert-atlas-deployment-failed` | none known |
+| Atlas: rollback failed | `rollback_failure` | critical | `atlas-rollback_failure` | `#alert-atlas-rollback-failed` | none known |
+| Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy | native `composer.googleapis.com/environment/healthy` < 0.5 for 15 min | critical | `atlas-composer-unhealthy` | `#alert-atlas-composer-unhealthy` | creation/deletion transitions |
+| Atlas: BigQuery cost anomaly | `cost_anomaly` (≥ 10× baseline and > 1 GiB) | warning | `atlas-cost_anomaly` | `#alert-atlas-cost-anomaly` | legitimate backfill bursts |
+| Atlas: telemetry incomplete | `telemetry_completeness` | warning | `atlas-telemetry_completeness` | `#alert-atlas-telemetry-incomplete` | runs predating Sprint 5 telemetry |
+
+Design rules in force:
+
+- One policy per root cause; WARN states are dashboard-visible but only FAIL
+  (value 2) pages, separating warning from critical.
+- Metric absence is used nowhere as a fail signal: the freshness check makes
+  staleness an explicit value, and the Composer policy conditions on an
+  unhealthy value, so intentional teardown (metric absence) cannot fire it.
+  Teardown checklist additionally disables `atlas-composer-unhealthy` and
+  sets `monitoring_enabled: false` (all checks then publish DISABLED = −2).
+- No stale-data alerting while `monitoring_enabled: false`.
+- The cost drill uses a synthetic drill-series point, never real spend.
+- Policy descriptions contain runbook paths and no secrets or addresses.
+- `manage_atlas_alerts.sh apply` is idempotent (update-by-display-name);
+  before editing a firing policy, capture the open incident evidence first.

+# Project Atlas Sprint 2 Architecture
+
+## Objective
+
+Transform immutable Sprint 1 raw events into a governed BigQuery warehouse with explicit
+quality classification, quarantine, trusted facts, and daily marts.
+
+## Layered datasets
+
+| Dataset | Purpose | Representative relations |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `atlas_raw` | Immutable physical landing (Sprint 1) | `events` |
+| `atlas_staging` | Normalized views and seeds | `stg_events`, `valid_country_codes` |
+| `atlas_intermediate` | Classification and accepted canonical rows | `int_event_classification`, `int_accepted_events` |
+| `atlas_quarantine` | Rejected physical rows | `int_rejected_events` |
+| `atlas_core` | Dimensions and incremental fact | `dim_users`, `dim_countries`, `fct_events` |
+| `atlas_marts` | Analyst-facing aggregates | `mart_daily_event_metrics` |
+
+## Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+  Raw["atlas_raw.events"] --> Staging["atlas_staging.stg_events"]
+  Seed["valid_country_codes seed"] --> Classification["atlas_intermediate.int_event_classification"]
+  Staging --> Classification
+  Classification --> Accepted["atlas_intermediate.int_accepted_events"]
+  Classification --> Rejected["atlas_quarantine.int_rejected_events"]
+  Accepted --> Fact["atlas_core.fct_events"]
+  Accepted --> Users["atlas_core.dim_users"]
+  Seed --> Countries["atlas_core.dim_countries"]
+  Fact --> Mart["atlas_marts.mart_daily_event_metrics"]
+```
+
+## Classification rules
+
+Terminal rejection precedence per physical row:
+
+1. `missing_user_id`
+2. `invalid_country_code`
+3. `future_dated`
+4. `duplicate_extra`
+5. `accepted`
+
+Duplicates rank by `ingested_at DESC, event_timestamp DESC, source_file DESC, raw_record_hash DESC`.
+Only rank 1 can be accepted when no higher-precedence defect exists.
+
+## Temporal semantics
+
+See [ADR-003](adr/ADR-003-corrected-temporal-semantics.md). Sprint 1's 300 "late-arriving"
+rows are backdated declared dates, not event-time late arrivals.
+
+## Incremental strategy
+
+`fct_events` uses BigQuery merge incremental logic keyed on `event_id`, partitioned by
+`event_date`, clustered by `event_name` and `country_code`, with a three-day ingestion
+lookback. Optional `start_date` / `end_date` vars support bounded backfills.
+
+## Airflow handoff
+
+Sprint 2 scripts are Cloud Shell–authoritative:
+
+1. `scripts/setup_dbt.sh`
+2. `scripts/run_dbt_sprint2.sh`
+3. `scripts/validate_dbt_sprint2.sh`
+
+An orchestrator can wrap these commands after Sprint 1 ingestion completes.

+# Project Atlas — Sprint 3 Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+Sprint 3 wraps the Sprint 1 ingestion and Sprint 2 dbt warehouse in an Airflow 3.1.7
+orchestration layer. Business logic remains in Python CLIs and dbt; Airflow owns
+ordering, retries, publication, and finalization.
+
+## Task graph
+
+```text
+resolve_run_context
+  → ensure_audit_resources
+  → start_run_audit
+  → preflight_environment
+  → generate_events
+  → upload_to_gcs
+  → load_bigquery_raw
+  → validate_raw_load
+  → dbt_seed
+  → dbt_source_freshness
+  → dbt_build
+  → validate_warehouse
+  → publish_success_marker
+write_run_summary (all_done)
+```
+
+## Identity model
+
+| Field | Scope | Example |
+|-------|-------|---------|
+| `batch_id` | Stable data batch | `atlas-20260715` |
+| `pipeline_run_id` | One execution | `atlas-airflow-20260715-manual__...` |

+
+Set `ATLAS_ROOT=/home/airflow/gcs/data/project-atlas`.
+
+## Retry policy
+
+| Task | Retries |
+|------|---------|
+| upload, load | 2 (exponential backoff) |
+| dbt freshness | 1 (scheduled mode) |
+| validation, dbt build | 0 |
+
+Historical backfill runs skip blocking freshness with a documented `SKIPPED` result.

+Immutable home: `gs://atlas-deployments-…/atlas/releases/<git_sha>/` with

+| Deployed identity | `…/current/release-manifest.json` + `deployment-info.json` |
+
+Environment variables set at creation: `ATLAS_ROOT`, `ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID`,
+`ATLAS_GCS_BUCKET`, `ATLAS_BQ_DATASET`, `ATLAS_DBT_DATASET`,
+`DBT_PROJECT_DIR`, `DBT_PROFILES_DIR`, `DBT_LOCATION`, `DBT_TARGET_PATH`,
+`DBT_LOG_PATH`. The deployed git SHA and deployment id are file-based
+(promoted with each release) rather than env vars, so promotion never waits on
+slow environment-update operations.
+
+## Audit model
+
+- `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` — one row per DAG execution (Sprint 3 grain).
+- `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` — one row per migration, checksummed.
+- `atlas_ops.deployments` — one row per deployment/rollback attempt, MERGE
+  keyed by `deployment_id`, statuses RUNNING/SUCCESS/FAILED/ROLLING_BACK/
+  ROLLED_BACK/ROLLBACK_FAILED, sanitized errors, `previous_git_sha` linkage.
+
+Grains stay separate: a deployment references its smoke run by id only.
+
+## IAM matrix (live, ADR-009)
+
+See ADR-009 for the full table and the documented `bigquery.dataEditor`
+project-scope risk with compensating controls. No Owner/Editor/IAM-admin
+grants; no service-account keys anywhere in the delivery path.

+## Event flow for one pipeline run
+
+1. `resolve_run_context` establishes `pipeline_run_id`/`batch_id`; every
+   subsequent structured event carries the correlation fields.
+2. Each task attempt writes `task_events` rows (STARTED → SUCCESS/FAILED/
+   RETRY/...) via idempotent MERGE and emits contract events to stdout.
+3. `validate_warehouse` persists its per-check results to `quality_results`
+   in addition to failing the task on FAIL.
+4. `write_run_summary` finalizes `pipeline_runs` and verifies task-telemetry
+   completeness (missing attempts are reported, not silently ignored).
+5. The monitor DAG evaluates freshness/volume/rejection/schema/deployment/
+   cost windows, writes `monitor_evaluations`, publishes metrics, and emits
+   structured evaluation logs.
+6. Alert policies watch the metrics; incidents route to the operator email
+   channel; runbook paths are embedded in policy documentation.

+
+## Deployment integration
+
+The Sprint 4 delivery system is unchanged: the deployment bundle gains the
+monitor DAG, observability modules, config, and migrations 004–006; the same
+`deploy_atlas_release.sh` → smoke → audit path promotes them. No second
+deployment system exists. CI gains static gates for observability artifacts
+(YAML/JSON validation, monitor DAG import, redaction and cardinality tests)
+and stays credentialless on pull requests.
+
+## Failure-visibility rules
+
+- Telemetry failure degrades visibly (fallback `telemetry_emit_failed`
+  events, `atlas/pipeline/telemetry_incomplete` metric) and never converts a
+  successful data operation into a failure.
+- Monitor no-data states are explicit (`NO_DATA` evaluations) and
+  distinguished from `DISABLED` (`monitoring_enabled=false`, set before
+  intentional teardown so absence alerts do not fire).
+- The dashboard's top row answers "is Atlas healthy" in under a minute:
+  latest run outcome, freshness age, open incidents, latest deployment.

+# Atlas Sprint 7 Architecture — Governance Layer
+
+Sprint 7 adds an **enforceable governance layer** over the Sprint 1–6 platform.
+No data-plane redesign: the ingestion → dbt warehouse → orchestration →
+CI/CD → observability → resilience stack is unchanged. Sprint 7 makes changes to
+data, schemas, permissions, retention, warehouse structure, and cost *governed*.
+
+## Components added
+
+```
+governance/                         # source of truth (declarative)
+  policy.yml                        # rules + controlled vocabularies

+scripts/run_performance_suite.sh     # dry-run baseline + gated execution
+```
+
+## Enforcement (CI gates, all offline/credentialless)
+
+`scripts/validate_ci.sh --group python` runs, in addition to the prior gates:
+
+- `gate_governance` — complete metadata, one source of truth, no catalog drift,
+  retention invariants, deprecation lifecycle.
+- `gate_schema_compatibility` — migration checksum immutability + schema
+  baseline drift.
+- `gate_lineage_impact` — lineage drift + source→mart reachability.
+- `gate_security_policy` — no prohibited IAM roles/keys in managed defs, no
+  secret-like values in governed artifacts.
+- `gate_performance_cost` — cost-control config coherence.
+
+## Data flow with governance overlaid
+
+```
+generate_events → raw → staging → classification → accepted/rejected
+   → fact → dims → marts → operational tables
+        │            │          │            │
+   contracts    dup/replay   schema       lineage +
+   (ADR-016)    semantics    compat        impact
+                (ADR-006amd) (ADR-017)     (Phase 5)
+
+   classification + retention (ADR-019) apply to every asset
+   cost + performance controls (ADR-020) apply to every query
+   IAM boundaries (ADR-018) apply to every identity
+```
+
+## Key invariant preserved
+
+`fct_events` grain remains **one row per event_id** (global uniqueness). The
+Sprint 3 defect fix (ADR-006 amendment) changed duplicate *classification and
+measurement*, not the fact grain.
+
+## What Sprint 7 did NOT change
+
+Data-plane models (except the classification-semantics fix), orchestration DAGs,
+deploy/rollback flow, observability metrics/alerts/dashboard, and the

+# Project Atlas Architecture — Sprint 1
+
+## Purpose
+
+Sprint 1 establishes a reproducible raw ingestion path that future Atlas versions
+can extend with dbt, Airflow, CI/CD, and monitoring without refactoring core
+boundaries.
+

+
+## Data flow
+
+1. Generator writes deterministic JSONL locally.
+2. Upload writes `raw/event_date=YYYY-MM-DD/run_id=<id>/events.jsonl`.
+3. Loader creates dataset/table if missing, loads staging, inserts enriched rows.
+4. Validation queries loaded rows and reports PASS/FAIL checks.

+## Key design decisions
+
+| Decision | Why | Tradeoff | Future impact |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Nested project in `de-project-1` | Preserves workspace-root MCP config | Two Python packaging contexts | Airflow/dbt can reference Atlas paths directly in v0.3/v0.4 |
+| Run-scoped GCS keys | Prevents overwrite while keeping date partitions | Slightly longer object paths | Compatible with future partition-aware backfills |
+| Staging-table load | Idempotent replays and explicit metadata enrichment | Extra transient table per run | Maps cleanly to dbt staging models |
+| Overall validation FAIL on seeded anomalies | Mirrors real data-quality posture | Requires separate acceptance checks | dbt tests can reuse anomaly expectations in v0.3 |
+
+## Failure handling
+
+- Duplicate upload: existing object detected, upload marked `already_exists`.
+- Missing file: step fails before cloud mutation.
+- Bad schema: BigQuery load job fails and pipeline stops.
+- Duplicate run load: target-table run guard skips re-insert.
+- Partial load: staging table deleted after successful insert; failed insert leaves no target rows for run id.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+Sprint 1 intentionally excludes dbt models, Airflow DAGs, Terraform, Pub/Sub,
+streaming, dashboards, CI/CD, and alerting.

+# Atlas CI/CD Governance — Sprint 4 (Phase 15)
+
+## What GitHub plan limitations actually allow
+
+The repository is **private on the GitHub Free plan**. Verified consequences
+(API evidence, not assumption):
+
+```text
+$ gh api repos/YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY/branches/main/protection
+HTTP 403: Upgrade to GitHub Pro or make this repository public to enable this feature.
+```
+
+Unavailable and therefore **not claimed**:
+
+- branch protection on `main` (required checks, PR-only merges, force-push
+  blocks enforced server-side)
+- GitHub Environments with required reviewers / self-review prevention
+- tag protection rules
+
+## Controls that ARE active (fallback model, ADR-010)
+
+| Control | Mechanism | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| Independent validation of every PR | `atlas-ci` workflow, path-scoped, credentialless | `.github/workflows/atlas-ci.yml` |
+| Single stable gate name | `atlas-ci-gate` job aggregates all required jobs | same |
+| Deployment cannot start from a PR | deploy/rollback are `workflow_dispatch` only | `atlas-deploy.yml`, `atlas-rollback.yml` |
+| Typed confirmation | exact strings `deploy-atlas-dev` / `rollback-atlas-dev` | same |
+| Only merged code can deploy | target SHA must satisfy `git merge-base --is-ancestor <sha> origin/main` | same |
+| Only `main`-ref runs get GCP credentials | WIF impersonation bound to `repository_and_ref = …@refs/heads/main` (server-side, cannot be bypassed by a fork or PR) | ADR-009, GCP IAM |
+| No overlapping deployments | `concurrency: group: atlas-dev-deployment`, `cancel-in-progress: false` | both deploy workflows |
+| No stored cloud secrets | zero GitHub Actions secrets; OIDC only | repo settings |
+| Supply-chain pinning | every third-party action pinned to a full commit SHA with the release tag in a comment | all workflows |
+| Minimal token scopes | `permissions: contents: read` (+ `id-token: write` only where WIF is used) | all workflows |
+
+The strongest governance boundary is deliberately placed **on the GCP side**
+(WIF ref restriction), because GitHub-side branch protection cannot be
+enforced on this plan. Even a direct push to a feature branch plus a manual
+dispatch cannot obtain deployer credentials for non-main code.
+
+## Commands to enable full protection after a plan upgrade
+
+```bash
+gh api -X PUT repos/YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY/branches/main/protection \
+  -F required_status_checks[strict]=true \
+  -F "required_status_checks[contexts][]=atlas-ci-gate" \
+  -F enforce_admins=true \
+  -F required_pull_request_reviews[required_approving_review_count]=1 \
+  -F restrictions=null \
+  -F allow_force_pushes=false \
+  -F allow_deletions=false
+```
+
+Also configure Environments `atlas-integration` and `atlas-dev` with required
+reviewers and deployment-branch policy `main` (Settings → Environments; the
+`environment: atlas-dev` reference already exists in the deploy workflows and
+will pick the protections up automatically).
+
+## Operating rules until then
+
+1. Never merge a PR whose `atlas-ci-gate` is not green (human-enforced).
+2. Never push directly to `main` (human-enforced; WIF limits the blast radius
+   of a violation to code that still had to pass through `main`).
+3. Deployments and rollbacks only via the dispatch workflows or the audited
+   scripts they call; every attempt lands in `atlas_ops.deployments`.
+4. Release tags (`atlas-sprint-N-complete`) are created once, never moved.

+# Atlas CI/CD Runbook — Sprint 4
+
+Operator commands for validation, deployment, rollback, and recovery. All
+scripts live in `scripts/`; workflows in `.github/workflows/`.
+
+## 1. Local / agent validation (no cloud credentials needed)
+
+```bash
+cd Atlas-GCP-Build
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static            # everything
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group python
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group airflow
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group dbt
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group security-shell
+```
+
+Machine-readable results: `logs/ci/validate-ci-results.json`.
+
+## 2. Isolated GCP integration test
+
+Requires ADC (locally) or WIF (`atlas-integration` workflow, main-ref only).
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/validate_gcp_integration.sh
+# GitHub: Actions → atlas-integration → Run workflow (target SHA optional)
+```
+
+Creates `atlas_ci_<run>` datasets + `gs://atlas-ci-…/atlas-ci/<run>/`,
+validates auth, determinism, idempotent loads, isolated dbt build, and
+reconciliation, then deletes everything (verified). Orphan recovery:
+
+```bash
+bq ls --project_id example-gcp-project | grep atlas_ci_
+bq rm -r -f -d example-gcp-project:<dataset>      # per leftover dataset
+# GCS leftovers expire automatically after 7 days
+```
+
+## 3. Migrations
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/apply_atlas_migrations.sh --mode plan     # no mutation
+bash scripts/apply_atlas_migrations.sh --mode status   # ledger dump
+ATLAS_APPROVE_DEPLOY=true bash scripts/apply_atlas_migrations.sh --mode apply
+```
+
+Rules: append-only manifest (`sql/migrations/manifest.txt`), checksummed,
+re-apply is a no-op, changed shipped files hard-fail, failures recorded as
+FAILED in `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` and block promotion.
+
+## 4. Release bundles
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/build_deployment_bundle.sh            # build + verify locally
+bash scripts/build_deployment_bundle.sh --upload   # create-only GCS store
+```
+
+Stored under `gs://atlas-deployments-example-gcp-project/atlas/releases/<git_sha>/`.
+Existing release with identical content → reuse; different content for the
+same SHA → hard failure (immutability).
+
+## 5. Ephemeral Composer environment (ADR-010: delete after evidence capture)
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/manage_atlas_composer.sh status
+ATLAS_APPROVE_COMPOSER_CREATE=true ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true \
+  bash scripts/manage_atlas_composer.sh create     # ~25-45 min total
+bash scripts/manage_atlas_composer.sh delete       # ALWAYS after evidence
+```
+
+Image `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`, size small, region `us-central1`,
+runtime SA `atlas-composer-runtime@…`. dbt is installed as Composer PyPI
+packages from `dbt/requirements-dbt.txt` pins.
+
+## 6. Deployment
+
+Preferred (post-merge): GitHub → Actions → `atlas-deploy` → Run workflow →
+type `deploy-atlas-dev`. Script path (agent/operator with ADC):
+
+```bash
+ATLAS_APPROVE_DEPLOY=true bash scripts/deploy_atlas_release.sh \
+  --git-sha <sha-reachable-from-main> [--leave-paused]
+```
+
+Stages and their failure recording (`atlas_ops.deployments.failure_stage`):
+`fetch_release`, `schema_check`, `migrations`, `promote`, `dag_parse`,
+`smoke_batch`, `smoke_validation`, `finalize`. A failed deployment records
+`FAILED`, keeps the immutable bundle and logs, and prints the recovery
+command. Re-running with the same `--git-sha` is safe.
+
+## 7. Smoke validation (standalone)
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/validate_atlas_deployment.sh \
+  --git-sha <sha> --deployment-id <id> \
+  --batch-id atlas-smoke-<shortsha>-<run> \
+  --pipeline-run-id atlas-smoke-<shortsha>-<run>-run \
+  --processing-date YYYY-MM-DD
+```
+
+## 8. Rollback
+
+GitHub: `atlas-rollback` → type `rollback-atlas-dev`. Script path:
+
+```bash
+ATLAS_APPROVE_ROLLBACK_TEST=true ATLAS_APPROVE_DEPLOY=true \
+  bash scripts/rollback_atlas.sh [--target-sha <sha>]
+```
+
+Selects the newest prior `SUCCESS` deployment, verifies bundle checksums and
+schema compatibility (a target requiring unapplied migrations is rejected),
+re-promotes, runs a rollback smoke batch, records `ROLLED_BACK` /
+`ROLLBACK_FAILED` with `previous_git_sha` linkage.
+
+## 9. Common failures
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| `atlas-ci-gate` red | any required job failed | open the failing job; every gate maps to a `validate_ci.sh` gate reproducible locally |
+| WIF auth error in workflow | run not on `refs/heads/main` | deploy only merged SHAs; PRs can never authenticate (by design) |
+| `fetch_release` failure | bundle missing for SHA | run `build_deployment_bundle.sh --upload` from that SHA (must be committed) |
+| checksum mismatch on existing release | different content for same SHA | investigate immediately — never overwrite; the stored bundle is truth |
+| `dag_parse` timeout | GCS sync delay or import error | `gcloud composer environments run atlas-dev --location us-central1 dags list-import-errors` |
+| smoke `raw_batch_count` failure | partial load | check `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` row and task logs; rerun deploy (idempotent loader skips complete batches) |
+| migration CHECKSUM_MISMATCH | shipped SQL edited | revert the edit; add a new migration instead |
+| leftover `atlas_ci_*` datasets | cleanup failed mid-run | see §2 orphan recovery |
+| deployment stuck RUNNING | workflow died before finalize | re-run deploy with same SHA or finalize manually via `atlas.ops.deployments` |
+
+## 10. Audit queries
+
+```sql
+-- deployments and rollbacks, newest first
+SELECT deployment_id, deployment_type, status, git_sha, previous_git_sha,
+       failure_stage, smoke_pipeline_run_id, completed_at
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.deployments`
+ORDER BY created_at DESC;
+
+-- migration ledger
+SELECT * FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.schema_migrations`
+ORDER BY applied_at;
+
+-- smoke run for a deployment
+SELECT * FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`
+WHERE pipeline_run_id = '<smoke_pipeline_run_id>';

+# Atlas Sprint 5 Cost and Retention Review
+
+Measurements below were taken live on 2026-07-19 during the Sprint 5
+acceptance window in project `example-gcp-project`. Currency figures use
+public list prices for `us-central1` at the time of writing and are estimates,
+not billing-export truth.
+
+## Composer (dominant cost, ephemeral)
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Environment | `atlas-dev`, `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`, ENVIRONMENT_SIZE_SMALL |
+| Created | 2026-07-19T03:44:08Z |
+| Deleted | end of acceptance window (teardown gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`) — recorded in the validation report |
+| Estimated rate | ≈ $0.60–0.90/hour for a small Composer 3 environment (compute + storage + fees) |
+| Acceptance window | single-digit hours ⇒ single-digit dollars |
+
+Composer is deliberately not left running: per the owner's standing decision,
+environments exist only for evidence capture. The observability design
+tolerates that (`monitoring_enabled` + NO_DATA states distinguish "paused by
+design" from "stale").
+
+## Cloud Logging
+
+| Item | Measured |
+| --- | --- |
+| Project log ingestion, trailing 24 h of acceptance | 57.2 MB (`logging.googleapis.com/billing/bytes_ingested`) |
+| Largest sources | BigQuery data-access audit logs (~21 MB/6 h); Atlas structured events are a small fraction |
+| `atlas-observability` bucket retention | 30 days, analytics enabled |
+| `_Default` bucket retention | 30 days (unchanged) |
+| Free tier | first 50 GiB/project/month ingestion free; current run-rate ≈ 1.7 GB/month ⇒ $0 marginal |
+
+The Atlas sink is additive (no exclusions), so entries are counted once for
+ingestion; duplicate routing to the dedicated bucket does not double the
+ingestion bill (storage beyond retention defaults would, but 30 days is the
+default free retention).
+
+Justification for 30-day retention: Sprint drills and incident
+reconstruction need at most a few weeks of history; durable operational truth
+lives in BigQuery audit tables (`pipeline_runs`, `task_events`,
+`quality_results`, `monitor_evaluations`, `deployments`), which are tiny (see
+below). Longer log retention would add cost without a consumer.
+
+## Cloud Monitoring
+
+| Item | Measured |
+| --- | --- |
+| Custom metric descriptors | 15 (`custom.googleapis.com/atlas/...`) |
+| Active `check_status` series | 22 = 11 checks × 2 modes (normal, drill) — within the documented cardinality budget (≤ 3 bounded labels per metric, no run/batch ids) |
+| Other atlas metrics | 2–6 series each (mode × small label sets) |
+| Ingested samples | one point per metric per monitor run (30-min cadence) ⇒ ~1.5 K samples/day total — far inside the 150 MB/month free allotment |
+| Alert policies | 10 (no per-policy charge) |
+| Notification channel | 1 email channel ($0) |
+| Dashboard | 1 ("Atlas Operations", 31 tiles; $0) |
+
+## BigQuery
+
+| Item | Measured |
+| --- | --- |
+| `atlas_ops` dataset size | 0.09 MB across 6 tables |
+| Monitor query cost | every check uses bounded time windows (30-day max) over KB-scale audit tables; the cost check reads `region-us.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` bounded to its baseline window |
+| Linked dataset (`atlas_logs`) | read-only view over the log bucket; queries bill as BigQuery scans of scanned log volume — trailing-hour drill queries scanned < 100 MB total |
+| Job labeling | `application=atlas` labels + dbt `query-comment` enable attribution via `observability/queries/bigquery_cost.sql` |
+
+## What was deleted vs retained after the acceptance window
+
+Deleted (ephemeral):
+- Composer environment `atlas-dev` (and alert policies expecting it are
+  disabled first — see runbook teardown procedure).
+- Drill-mode metric series stop receiving points (auto-age-out); a PASS
+  recovery point was published to every drill series
+  (`manage_atlas_alerts.sh delete-test-resources`).
+
+Retained (permanent, near-zero cost):
+- `atlas_ops` BigQuery tables (< 1 MB), `atlas_raw`/`atlas_core`/`atlas_marts`
+  datasets (synthetic data, MB scale).
+- Log bucket + sink + view + linked dataset (storage-bounded by 30-day
+  retention).
+- Metric descriptors, alert policies (disabled where their source
+  intentionally disappears with Composer), dashboard, notification channel.
+- Deployment bundles in GCS (immutable releases, MB scale each).
+
+## Monthly projection (steady state, environment torn down)
+
+| Component | Projection |
+| --- | --- |
+| Composer | $0 (no environment) |
+| Logging | $0 (under free tier; 30-day retention) |
+| Monitoring | $0–low single dollars (custom-metric samples under free tier) |
+| BigQuery storage | ≈ $0.02 |
+| BigQuery queries | $0 while the monitor DAG is not running (no environment); during acceptance windows, bounded queries on KB–MB tables |
+| Total | effectively the cost of the acceptance windows themselves (Composer hours) |
+
+## Guardrails verified
+
+- No DEBUG logging enabled anywhere; Airflow logging level INFO.
+- No unbounded monitor queries (every check has an explicit window).
+- No batch/run ids or error strings as metric labels (CI-enforced cardinality
+  gate + `validate_point` runtime contract).
+- No raw event payloads logged; details are truncated at 4 KB.
+- Single additive log sink; no duplicate sinks; `_Default` untouched.
+- Dashboard is updated in place by display name, never re-created.
+- The cost-anomaly drill used a synthetic drill-mode metric point, not real
+  BigQuery spend.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Cost and Guardrail Review
+
+Measurements taken live on 2026-07-19 during the Sprint 6 acceptance window in
+project `example-gcp-project`. Currency figures use public `us-central1` list
+prices and are estimates, not billing-export truth.
+
+## New in Sprint 6: preventive cost guards
+
+Sprint 6 adds `src/atlas/observability/cost_guards.py`, whose entire purpose is
+to stop runaway spend *before* it happens. All were exercised live:
+
+| Guard | Behavior | Live evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `validate_backfill_window` | Rejects backfill windows > 7 days unless `ATLAS_APPROVE_UNBOUNDED_BACKFILL=true` | Blocked a 12-day window (`processing_date=2026-07-30`) at `resolve_run_context` — zero bytes scanned; `cost_guard_blocked` (observed 12, threshold 7) emitted |
+| `require_full_refresh_approval` | Blocks dbt `--full-refresh` unless `ATLAS_APPROVE_FULL_REFRESH=true` | Blocked without approval, allowed with it; `cost_guard_blocked` emitted |
+| `enforce_dry_run_ceiling` / `guarded_query_config` | Caps estimated bytes and sets `maximum_bytes_billed` | Unit-tested (`tests/unit/test_cost_guards.py`) |
+
+These guards make the default posture "incremental, bounded, cheap"; expensive
+operations require an explicit, logged approval variable.
+
+## Composer (dominant cost, ephemeral)
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Environment | `atlas-dev`, `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`, ENVIRONMENT_SIZE_SMALL |
+| Created | 2026-07-19T14:31Z |
+| Deleted | end of acceptance window (teardown gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`) |
+| Estimated rate | ≈ $0.60–0.90/hour for a small Composer 3 environment |
+| Acceptance window | a few hours ⇒ single-digit dollars |
+
+Composer is never left running (ADR-010). The observability design distinguishes
+"paused by design" from "stale" so teardown does not create false incidents.
+
+## BigQuery (recovery + game-day queries)
+
+- The QUARANTINE recovery removed 100 000 rows via two targeted `DELETE`s
+  (raw + intermediate); DELETEs on small dev tables are inexpensive.
+- Game-day diagnosis used `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` and row-count aggregates —
+  metadata and small scans.
+- No full-refresh rebuild was performed during recovery (targeted repair,
+  ADR-014), avoiding a full re-scan of history.
+
+## Retention
+
+- Audit tables (`recovery_actions`, `task_events`, `pipeline_runs`,
+  `quality_results`, `monitor_evaluations`) are small and retained; they are the
+  durable operational history and are not cost-significant.
+- No new long-lived cloud resources were created by Sprint 6 beyond the two
+  additive schema objects (a table + two columns).
+
+## Net cost posture
+
+Sprint 6 is cost-*reducing* in expectation: the guards prevent the most common
+accidental-spend paths (unbounded backfills, unintended full refreshes,
+unbounded scans), while the only material acceptance spend is the ephemeral
+Composer window (single-digit dollars).

+# Atlas Cost Review (Sprint 7)
+
+Extends the Sprint 6 cost guards with config-driven controls, an
+estimation-first CLI, and a required-partition-filter check. See ADR-020.
+
+## Controls (config/cost_controls.yaml)
+
+| Control | atlas-dev | atlas-ci |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| max_query_bytes | 1 GiB | 512 MiB |
+| max_performance_suite_bytes | 5 GiB | 1 GiB |
+| max_backfill_days | 7 | 3 |
+| full_refresh_requires_approval | true | true |
+| require_partition_filter_assets | raw.events, fct_events | same |
+| temporary_dataset_ttl_hours | 24 | 1 |
+| temporary_object_ttl_days | 7 | 1 |
+| composer_max_lifecycle_hours | 12 | 6 |
+| log_retention_days | 30 | 7 |
+| release_retention_policy | keep_validated_releases | same |
+
+Inherited runtime guards (Sprint 6): backfill-window, full-refresh approval,
+dry-run ceiling, `maximum_bytes_billed` job config.
+
+## Estimation-first enforcement (demonstrated live, $0)
+
+`docs/evidence-sprint7/cost-guard-block.txt`:
+
+1. **Partition-filter guard** blocks the deliberately unbounded raw scan before
+   any execution (`exit=2`).
+2. **Estimate CLI** dry-runs first (full scan estimate = 12,659,283 bytes,
+   billed $0), then refuses execution when the estimate exceeds the ceiling
+   (proven with a tightened ceiling → `decision: BLOCKED`, pre-execution).
+
+An over-limit query is therefore refused **before material spend**, requiring an
+explicit `ATLAS_APPROVE_COST_OVERRIDE=true` after a documented review.
+
+## Permanent resource footprint
+
+- 9 BigQuery datasets (small; raw 850k rows, fct 392,845 rows, mart 2,804 rows).
+- `atlas-observability` log bucket (30-day retention).
+- `atlas-deployments-…` release bundle bucket (validated releases retained).
+- 10 alert policies, 1 notification channel, 1 dashboard, metric descriptors.
+- **Composer: absent** (ephemeral; not created in Sprint 7 — no changed control
+  required it).
+
+## Sprint 7 live cost
+
+- Performance baseline: **dry-runs only → $0**.
+- Inventory reads (IAM/table counts/dataset settings): a handful of tiny
+  metadata/count queries (KB–MB).
+- No Composer, no bulk scans, no full refreshes.
+- Estimated Sprint 7 live BigQuery spend: **negligible (< a few MB billed
+  total)**; the 5 GiB suite ceiling was never approached.
+
+## Proposed hard byte ceiling
+
+`ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES` (suite) defaults to 5 GiB; per-query 1 GiB.
+Both overridable only with documented approval. These remain the recommended
+ceilings.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- Zero-cost operation is not claimed; the footprint above incurs minimal
+  ongoing storage/monitoring cost.

+# Atlas Data Contract Standard (Sprint 7)
+
+A data contract is a **versioned, enforceable agreement** about the shape and
+semantics of data crossing a boundary. Atlas contracts are not prose — every
+clause maps to an executable control. Where a prose clause would disagree with
+an executable schema, the executable schema wins and the prose is fixed.
+
+## Boundaries that require a contract
+
+```
+generate_events → raw ingestion → staging → classification
+  → accepted / rejected → fact → dimensions → marts → operational tables
+```
+
+| Boundary | Producer | Consumer | Contract version | Enforced by |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| event generation → raw | `generate_events.py` | `load_events.py` | 1.0 | `validate_events.py`, `atlas.validation.schema_versions` |
+| raw → staging | `atlas_raw.events` | `stg_events` | 1.0 | dbt source tests, `stg_events` enforced contract (`data_type`s) |
+| staging → classification | `stg_events` | `int_event_classification` | 1.1 | dbt tests + unit tests (rejection precedence, dup rank) |
+| classification → accepted/rejected | `int_event_classification` | `int_accepted_events` / `int_rejected_events` | 1.0 | dbt `accepted_values` / `not_accepted_values` tests |
+| accepted → fact | `int_accepted_events` | `fct_events` | 1.0 | `unique_key=event_id`, `on_schema_change=fail`, unique/not_null tests |
+| fact → dimensions | `fct_events` | `dim_users`, `dim_countries` | 1.0 | not_null/unique + relationship tests |
+| fact → marts | `fct_events` | `mart_daily_event_metrics` | 1.0 | `unique_combination_of_columns`, reconciliation tests |
+| pipeline → operational tables | pipeline code | audit tables | per table | `observability/schema/expected-schemas.json`, migration ledger |
+
+## Required contract clauses
+
+Each contract declares: contract ID, version, producer, owner, consumers, grain,
+fields (required/optional, types, accepted values, uniqueness, nullability),
+temporal semantics, duplicate semantics, freshness, compatibility policy,
+deprecation policy, validation implementation, and recovery expectations.
+
+Governance metadata carries the durable half of this (owner, grain, consumers,
+`contract_version`, classification, retention). The executable half lives in dbt
+contracts/tests, source tests, the schema manifest, and Python validators.
+
+## Mapping clauses to executable controls
+
+| Clause | Executable control |
+| --- | --- |
+| Fields + types | dbt `data_type` (enforced contract on `stg_events`); `expected-schemas.json` for ops tables |
+| Required / nullability | dbt `not_null` tests; NULL semantics documented per column |
+| Accepted values | dbt `accepted_values` (rejection_reason, platform); `dim_countries` FK |
+| Uniqueness | dbt `unique` (event_id, user_id); `unique_combination_of_columns` (mart grain) |
+| Grain | governance `grain` field + the uniqueness tests that enforce it |
+| Temporal semantics | Sprint 2 corrected flags (`is_future_dated`, late/backdated/mismatch) + `assert_source_anomaly_profile` |
+| Duplicate semantics | `int_event_classification` rank + Sprint 7 replay classification (ADR-017) |
+| Freshness | `dbt source freshness`; observability freshness check |
+| Compatibility policy | `atlas.governance.schema_check` (ADR-017) + `gate_schema_compatibility` |
+| Deprecation policy | governance `lifecycle_status` + `governance/changes/` + deprecation CI |
+| Migration checksum immutability | `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` ledger + `sql_migrations` checksum gate |
+| Recovery expectations | `atlas.ops.recovery_actions` + `docs/recovery-runbook-sprint6.md` |
+
+## Contract versioning
+
+`contract_version` is `major.minor`:
+
+- **minor** bump: backward-compatible change (added nullable field, widened
+  accepted set, description/owner improvement) — `COMPATIBLE` in ADR-017.
+- **major** bump: a change requiring consumer migration or a breaking change —
+  requires a change record and approval (`CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE`/`BREAKING`).
+
+The compatibility class (ADR-017) and the version bump must agree; CI enforces
+that a breaking change cannot ship as a minor bump without an approved change
+record.
+
+## Non-negotiables
+
+- No prose-only contract that disagrees with the executable schema.
+- No unversioned contract replacement (`PROHIBITED`).
+- No silent field reuse with changed semantics (`PROHIBITED`).
+- Applied migration checksums are immutable (`PROHIBITED` to change).

+# Atlas Deprecation Runbook (Sprint 7)
+
+How to retire a governed asset or field safely. Enforced by
+`atlas.governance.registry.deprecation_errors` via `gate_governance`.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+```
+ACTIVE → DEPRECATED → REMOVAL_SCHEDULED → REMOVED
+```
+
+An asset's `lifecycle_status` lives in its governance metadata (dbt
+`meta.governance` or `non_dbt_assets.yml`). Any non-ACTIVE status requires a
+`deprecation` block:
+
+```yaml
+deprecation:
+  replacement: <asset_id or field that replaces this>
+  owner: atlas-data-eng
+  announcement_date: "2026-07-19"
+  deprecation_start: "2026-07-19"
+  earliest_removal_date: "2026-09-01"   # >= start + 30 days
+  migration_instructions: "How consumers move to the replacement."
+  validation_period: "How long the replacement runs in parallel."
+  removal_approval: "<approval reference>"   # required for REMOVAL_SCHEDULED/REMOVED
+  rollback_limitations: "What cannot be undone after removal."
+  change_record: CHG-YYYYMMDD-slug           # must exist under governance/changes/
+```
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Announce (ACTIVE → DEPRECATED).** Add the `deprecation` block with a
+   replacement, a change record under `governance/changes/`, and a removal date
+   at least 30 days out. Regenerate the catalog.
+2. **Migrate consumers.** Use `python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset <id>`
+   to enumerate affected consumers/owners; migrate each to the replacement.
+3. **Schedule removal (DEPRECATED → REMOVAL_SCHEDULED).** Only after consumers
+   are migrated. Requires `removal_approval`. CI blocks scheduling while active
+   consumers still read the asset.
+4. **Remove (REMOVAL_SCHEDULED → REMOVED).** After the earliest removal date and
+   with zero active consumers. Removal of canonical schema requires
+   `ATLAS_APPROVE_SCHEMA_MUTATION=true`.
+
+## CI rejects
+
+| Condition | Rule |
+| --- | --- |
+| Deprecated asset without a replacement | `require_replacement` |
+| Removal date sooner than the minimum window | `minimum_window_days` (30) |
+| Removed/scheduled asset with active consumers | active-consumer check |
+| Lifecycle change without a change record | `require_change_record` + existence |
+| REMOVAL_SCHEDULED/REMOVED without approval | `removal_approval` required |
+| Reused field name with changed semantics | ADR-017 `type_changed` / PROHIBITED |
+
+## Demonstration
+
+Enforcement is proven by fixtures in `tests/unit/test_deprecation.py` (missing
+replacement, short window, missing/unknown change record, removed-with-consumer,
+missing approval). No critical Atlas field is removed for demonstration — the
+harmless path is exercised with fixture records only.

+Atlas Sprint 7 — cost-guard pre-spend block evidence (2026-07-19, live, dry-run only, $0)
+
+(1) Partition-filter guard on deliberately unbounded raw scan:
+$ python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard check-partition-filter \
+    --sql-file observability/performance/queries/unbounded_scan.sql --asset atlas_raw.events
+COST GUARD: query over atlas_raw.events is missing a required partition filter (event_date/processing_date)
+exit=2 (BLOCKED before any execution)
+
+(2) estimate CLI (dry-run first, then threshold enforcement):
+- Full unbounded scan estimate: 12,659,283 bytes (dry-run, billed $0)
+- atlas-dev ceiling 1,073,741,824 bytes -> decision ALLOW (dataset is small)
+- With a tightened 1,000-byte ceiling -> decision BLOCKED pre-execution:
+  "estimate 12659283 bytes exceeds ceiling 1000 bytes for 'atlas-dev'; set
+   ATLAS_APPROVE_COST_OVERRIDE=true only after a documented cost review"
+
+Conclusion: an unbounded query is refused before material spend by (a) the
+required-partition-filter guard and (b) the dry-run estimate ceiling. No bytes
+were billed to produce this evidence.

+# Clean-Clone Results (Sprint 8, Phase 11)
+
+**Status:** RECORDED. Automated by
+[`../../scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh`](../../scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh);
+procedure in [../handoff/clean-clone-reproduction.md](../handoff/clean-clone-reproduction.md).
+Each attempt uses a fresh temp directory and a brand-new virtualenv — no reuse of
+the caller's environment, generated data, or credentials. Credentialless.
+
+## Attempt 1 — candidate `57abf2d` — FAIL (defect found)
+
+Command: `bash scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh --ref 57abf2d`. Duration 42s.
+
+| step | result |
+| --- | --- |
+| install | PASS |
+| static_ci | PASS |
+| generate | PASS |
+| unit_tests | PASS |
+| governance | **FAIL** |
+| lineage | **FAIL** |
+| reference | **FAIL** |
+
+**Root cause:** documented direct commands `python -m atlas.governance.catalog`,
+`atlas.governance.lineage`, `atlas.reference.validate` failed with
+`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'atlas'`. `atlas.*` lives under `src/` with
+no installed package; `pytest.ini` and `validate_ci.sh` set `PYTHONPATH=src`
+internally (so tests and static CI passed), but the standalone module commands in
+the docs omitted it.
+
+**Fix (documentation/script root cause, commit `e538e99`):** added
+`export PYTHONPATH=src` to `validate_clean_clone.sh` and to every documented
+`python -m atlas.*` command (START_HERE, operator/agent onboarding, first-hour,
+clean-clone doc, evidence index, demo script, context pack).
+
+## Attempt 2 — candidate `e538e99` — PASS (fresh directory)
+
+Command: `bash scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh --ref e538e99`. Duration 43s.
+
+| step | result |
+| --- | --- |
+| install | PASS |
+| static_ci | PASS |
+| generate | PASS |
+| unit_tests | PASS |
+| governance | PASS |
+| lineage | PASS |
+| reference | PASS |
+
+`clean_clone: PASS`. Success was declared only from a **second fresh directory**
+after the fix — not from a repaired dirty clone.
+
+## Notes
+
+- `shell_static` and the Airflow gates SKIP in the clean venv because shellcheck
+  and apache-airflow are not in `requirements.txt`; they run in GitHub CI (pinned
+  toolchain) and via `airflow/requirements-airflow.txt`. `yamllint`/`shellcheck`
+  in `requirements-ci.txt` mean `workflow_yaml` runs.
+- No GCP credentials were used or required.

+# Independent Handoff Results (Sprint 8, Phase 12)
+
+**Status:** RECORDED. The independent tester received only the repository clone,
+`START_HERE.md`, and the [assignment](../handoff/independent-handoff-assignment.md).
+No prior conversation, no implementation-agent reasoning, no hidden commands, no
+verbal help. Rubric: [../handoff/handoff-scorecard.md](../handoff/handoff-scorecard.md).
+
+## Tester context
+
+- Identity type: independent coding agent (separate agent context, repository +
+  START_HERE + assignment only).
+- Candidate commit at test time: `d90b3ad`.
+- Human interventions: **0** (the tester self-resolved the one friction point
+  using the repository's own venv convention; the implementation agent provided
+  no answers or commands).
+
+## Answers (summary — all 15 items completed correctly)
+
+1. Atlas = reference-architecture batch ELT platform on GCP; correct/observable/
+   governable/recoverable; not streaming/CDC/ML; not a template. ✓
+2. Fact grain = **one row per `event_id`** (`fct_events`, merge on `event_id`,
+   INV-D5, ADR-017). ✓
+3. `batch_id` = stable data identity (`atlas-<YYYYMMDD>`); `pipeline_run_id` =
+   one execution (`atlas-airflow-<date>-<runid>`); ADR-006. ✓
+4. Current release `atlas-sprint-7-complete` → `9d031c9`; Sprint 8 intentionally
+   untagged. (Correctly de-referenced annotated tags.) ✓
+5. `validate_ci: PASS` (19 PASS / 2 SKIP / 0 FAIL). Noted the PEP 668 install
+   friction (see below). ✓ (with friction)
+6. Successful deploy: `docs/evidence-sprint4/composer-deploy-session-history.txt`. ✓
+7. Failed deploy: `docs/evidence-sprint4/deploy-defective-1af166ea.log`
+   (`publish_success_marker = upstream_failed`, proving INV-L5). ✓
+8. Recovery: `docs/evidence-sprint4/rollback-640cd786.log` (+ INC-S6-001 for the
+   verified data-layer recovery). ✓
+9. Schema control: compatibility classification + change records + immutable
+   migration checksums (ADR-017, INV-D8). ✓
+10. Unsafe query blocked: `cost_guard check-partition-filter` + dry-run
+    `estimate` vs ceiling ($0), evidence `cost-guard-block.txt`. ✓
+11. Risks: correctly reported **no HIGH** severity; listed the MEDIUM/LOW set
+    (RISK-01/02/06/07/09/10/11/12 + lows). ✓
+12. API ingestion: new `src/atlas/ingestion/<api>.py`, source YAML, governance
+    asset, tests, keep API out of PR CI (INV-L1). ✓
+13. Files + invariants: ingestion module, sources.yml, governance asset, tests,
+    lineage/evidence; preserve D1/D2/D6/L1/G1–G3. ✓
+14. Approvals: full `ATLAS_APPROVE_*` set enumerated. ✓
+15. Not proven at scale: production perf/cost, billed perf, live least privilege,
+    live retention, multi-env, template, external consumers. ✓
+
+## Score: 29 / 30 (see scorecard)
+
+Validation scored 1 (completed with friction); all other 14 categories scored 2.
+Meets minimum acceptance: total ≥ 25, no 0 in architecture/validation/evidence/
+risk, ≤ 2 human interventions (0), no hidden command supplied.
+
+## Observations
+
+- **Time to first successful validation:** one moderate iteration.
+- **Friction / defect found:** `START_HERE` §6 `pip install` fails on PEP 668
+  hosts (Debian/Ubuntu) because no virtualenv step was documented. The tester
+  self-resolved using the venv convention already present in the Sprint 1 quick
+  start and `validate_clean_clone.sh`.
+- **Precision defect found:** the "282 unit tests" / "21 gates" figures are only
+  fully reached with optional toolchains; the credentialless gate runs 269
+  unit+Airflow tests (240 unit / 29 Airflow) with 2 gates SKIPPED.
+- **Misunderstanding (self-corrected):** initially thought README tag commits
+  mismatched git — corrected after realizing the tags are annotated.
+- **Help needed beyond the repository:** none.
+
+## Files changed because of the test (documentation root-cause fixes)
+
+`START_HERE.md` (venv step + accurate 269/282 counts), `operator-onboarding.md`,
+`operator-first-hour.md`, `agent-onboarding.md`, `capability-evidence-map.md`,
+`evidence-index.md`, `engineering-evidence-ledger.md`, `atlas-demo-script.md`.
+
+## Re-verification after fixes
+
+The corrected `START_HERE` §6 now matches exactly what
+[`validate_clean_clone.sh`](../../scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh) does
+(create venv → install both requirement files → run static CI), and that script
+passes from a fresh directory (see [clean-clone-results.md](clean-clone-results.md)
+attempt 2). This proves the corrected instruction works verbatim. A full fresh
+independent-agent re-run was deferred to conserve tokens; the specific fixed
+step is verified by the passing clean-clone.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Failure Catalog
+
+The machine-readable source of truth is `config/failure_scenarios.yaml`
+(schema-validated by the `failure_injection` CI gate; 56 scenarios). This
+document is the operator-facing index. Every scenario defines: category, risk
+level, target component, preconditions, injection method, expected
+detection/alert/containment, allowed data impact, recovery action,
+verification queries, cleanup, recurrence prevention, required approvals, and
+maximum duration/cost. See ADR-013 for the framework rules.
+
+Execution modes: **unit** = proven by repository tests, **live** = requires
+the game-day Composer window, **both** = unit-tested logic plus a live
+demonstration.
+

+
+All IAM scenarios: capture before/after policy, remove exactly one binding,
+restore exactly that binding, verify effective access, `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Game-Day Plan
+
+Five game days executed inside one ephemeral Composer window (target ≤ 12 h
+total). Every scenario follows the lifecycle
+`plan → run → observe → contain → diagnose → recover → verify → cleanup` via
+`scripts/run_failure_scenario.sh`, with recovery rows in
+`atlas_ops.recovery_actions` and timings captured for MTTR.
+
+Per game day we record: detection time, diagnosis time, containment time,
+recovery time, verification time, total MTTR, operator actions, failed
+runbook steps, repeated manual work, missing evidence.
+
+## Preconditions (all game days)
+
+- Sprint 6 candidate release deployed and smoke-validated (12/12)
+- Baseline healthy batch reconciled
+- Alert policies enabled (including re-enabling `Atlas: data stale` and
+  `Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy` disabled at Sprint 5 teardown)
+- Approvals exported for the window; `ATLAS_INJECTION_SCENARIO` set per
+  scenario and unset immediately after
+- All drill batches use the `atlas-s6-` prefix
+
+## Game Day 1 — Ingestion and idempotency
+
+| Order | Scenario | Proof obligation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | S6-ING-002 corrupt JSONL | invalid artifact preserved, no publication, sanitized error |
+| 2 | S6-ING-004 partial raw load | partial state detected, targeted repair, exact counts, no duplicates |
+| 3 | S6-ING-005 duplicate execution | idempotency: counts unchanged, facts unique, two run rows |
+| 4 | S6-ING-006 transient failure | RETRY task event then SUCCESS |
+| 5 | S6-ING-001 missing artifact + S6-ING-003 checksum conflict | fail-safe boundary + immutability |
+| 6 | S6-ING-008 retry exhaustion | terminal FAILED, downstream blocked, recovery rerun |
+
+## Game Day 2 — Warehouse and schema
+
+| Order | Scenario | Proof obligation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | S6-DBT-002 dbt test failure | publication blocked, incident, clean rerun |
+| 2 | S6-DBT-003 referential failure (fixture) | failing rows traceable, canonical untouched |
+| 3 | S6-DBT-004 duplicate fact (fixture) | grain protected |
+| 4 | S6-DBT-005 late-arriving events | bounded backfill, history byte-identical, no duplicates |
+| 5 | S6-DBT-006 incremental corruption (fixture) | targeted repair, not full refresh |
+| 6 | S6-DBT-007 partition rebuild (fixture) | only intended partition changes |
+| 7 | S6-SCH-001…007 against fixture table | correct ALLOWED/WARNING/BREAKING classifications live |
+
+## Game Day 3 — IAM and orchestration
+
+| Order | Scenario | Proof obligation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | S6-IAM-001 job permission loss | exact permission identified, least-privilege restore |
+| 2 | S6-IAM-002 data access loss | clear boundary failure, no partial publication |
+| 3 | S6-IAM-003 GCS permission loss | no unsafe fallback destination |
+| 4 | S6-ING-008-style retry exhaustion under IAM denial (S6-IAM-004 evidence) | IAM vs code classification |
+| 5 | S6-AIR-001 worker interruption | retryable, no duplication |
+| 6 | S6-AIR-002 task timeout | classified, downstream blocked |
+| 7 | S6-AIR-003 finalizer failure | RECONSTRUCT_AUDIT recovers truth |
+| 8 | S6-AIR-004 overlapping runs / S6-AIR-005 invalid context | concurrency + pre-mutation failure |
+| 9 | S6-AIR-006 missed run | stale detection, bounded backfill |
+
+## Game Day 4 — Deployment and rollback
+
+| Order | Scenario | Proof obligation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | S6-DEP-003 failed migration | ledger FAILED, promotion stops |
+| 2 | S6-DEP-004 checksum conflict | immutable bundle preserved |
+| 3 | S6-DEP-005 failed smoke | deployments FAILED, no promotion |
+| 4 | S6-RBK-001 missing bundle | fails before mutation |
+| 5 | S6-RBK-002 rollback smoke failure | ROLLBACK_FAILED + incident + secondary recovery |
+| 6 | restore validated release | final SUCCESS deployment |
+
+(S6-DEP-001/002/006 and S6-RBK-003 are covered by CI gates and unit tests;
+S6-IAM-005 executes with Game Day 3's IAM window when workflow-side evidence
+is practical.)
+
+## Game Day 5 — Observability degradation
+
+| Order | Scenario | Proof obligation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | S6-OBS-002 task-event write failure | data survives, completeness detects, reconstruction |
+| 2 | S6-OBS-008 missing telemetry on terminal run | telemetry-incomplete alert + reconstruction |
+| 3 | S6-OBS-004 monitor DAG failure | monitor outage visible, business audit intact |
+| 4 | S6-OBS-005 unexpected policy disablement | governance check catches drift |
+| 5 | S6-OBS-006 notification failure | incident truth without delivery, honest evidence |
+| 6 | S6-OBS-007 linked dataset fallback | Cloud Logging as source of truth |
+| 7 | S6-COST-001/004/005 live legs | guard evidence with zero material spend |
+
+## Exit criteria (before teardown)
+
+- final healthy batch reconciles 10/10
+- zero unresolved test incidents
+- `recovery_actions` has a verified row for every recovery performed
+- all injection variables unset; drill fixtures deleted
+- alert policies restored to repo-defined state, then teardown set disabled
+- Composer deleted under `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`, no false alerts after

+# Atlas Sprint 6 — Game-Day Results & Live Evidence
+
+Ephemeral Composer window: `atlas-dev`
+(`composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`), created 2026-07-19T14:31Z, bucket
+`gs://us-central1-atlas-dev-48d75b29-bucket`. Candidate git_sha
+`b735823bc5193782bad73a73f3222a2eeafafbae`, deployment_id
+`atlas-dev-20260719T145242Z-b735823b` (smoke 12/12, migrations 007/008 applied).
+
+This document records what was proven **live** in the game-day window, and what
+is proven by CI gates and unit tests (per the game-day plan, several scenarios
+are deliberately covered by static gates rather than live injection to keep the
+ephemeral, cost-bounded window short — ADR-010, ADR-013).
+
+## Preconditions verified
+
+| Precondition | Evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Candidate deployed + smoke-validated | deployment_id `atlas-dev-20260719T145242Z-b735823b`, 12/12 smoke checks PASS |
+| Migrations 007 (recovery_actions) + 008 (task_event timing) applied | `bq show atlas_ops.recovery_actions` (20 cols); `task_events` has `timing_source`,`timing_confidence` |
+| Baseline healthy batch reconciled 10/10 | batch `atlas-20260717`, run `atlas-airflow-20260717-baseline-s6-clean-20260717` SUCCESS; `quality_results` = 10/10 PASS |
+| Alert policies restored | all 10 Atlas policies ENABLED (re-enabled `Atlas: data stale`, `Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy`) |
+| Notification channel verified recipient | `<operator-email>`, enabled |
+| Fault injection disabled by default | `cli run` REFUSED without `ATLAS_APPROVE_FAILURE_INJECTION=true`; catalog `validate` = VALID |
+
+## Live evidence captured
+
+### GD1 — Ingestion & idempotency
+
+**S6-ING-006 transient failure → retry-then-success (LIVE, organic).**
+Run `atlas-airflow-20260719-baseline-s6-20260719` with `upload_once=true` injected
+a one-shot `--fail-once` on `upload_events`:
+
+```
+upload_events FAILED  attempt 1  (command exited 1)   src=step_runner_clock conf=exact dur=17004ms
+upload_events RETRY   attempt 1                        src=airflow_task_instance conf=exact dur=21110ms
+upload_events SUCCESS attempt 2
+```
+
+Proof obligation met: RETRY task event then SUCCESS; downstream proceeded; no
+duplicate raw load (raw for the batch stayed single-copy, 1 pipeline_run_id).
+
+### GD2 — Warehouse & schema
+
+**S6-DBT-002 dbt test failure blocks publication (LIVE, organic).**
+The stray canonical batch `atlas-20260719` failed `dbt build` on the singular
+test `assert_source_anomaly_profile` ("Got 1 result, configured to fail if != 0").
+All 33 downstream models/tests SKIPPED — publication blocked, no marts promotion.
+No BigQuery job errored (INFORMATION_SCHEMA JOBS clean), confirming a *test*
+failure, not an engine error.
+
+Root cause (data-correctness finding): `generate_events` seeds deterministically
+from `processing_date`, so every batch run for a given date emits identical
+`event_id`s. `int_event_classification` dedups `event_id` **globally across all
+batches**; when a date is processed by multiple batches (smoke, drills, a stray
+scheduled catch-up, and the manual baseline all ran for 2026-07-19), the
+batch-scoped anomaly test sees `is_duplicate_extra=50000` instead of the expected
+50. Documented as **INC-S6-001** with a verified recovery (below).
+
+### GD3 — IAM & orchestration
+
+**S6-AIR-004 overlapping runs (LIVE, organic).** When the deploy promoted and
+unpaused the DAG for the smoke run, Airflow also materialised the latest
+scheduled interval (`scheduled__2026-07-19T06:00`). The two runs contended on the
+shared dbt target tables; the scheduled run's `dbt_build` FAILED at 15:00:16
+while the smoke run succeeded. This is a real (unplanned) manifestation of the
+overlapping-run hazard S6-AIR-004 catalogs; mitigation applied for the rest of
+the window was pausing the DAG so only explicit manual triggers ran.
+
+### GD5 — Cost guards (live legs)
+
+**S6-COST-002 backfill window guard (LIVE).** A baseline attempt with
+`processing_date=2026-07-30` (12-day window vs today) FAILED at
+`resolve_run_context` — `validate_backfill_window` raised `CostGuardViolation`
+before any batch identity was minted or any bytes were scanned. Structured
+telemetry `cost_guard_blocked` (observed_value=12, threshold=7) emitted.
+
+**S6-COST-003 full-refresh guard (LIVE).** `require_full_refresh_approval()`
+raised `CostGuardViolation` without `ATLAS_APPROVE_FULL_REFRESH=true` and passed
+with it; `validate_backfill_window` blocked a 12-day window and allowed it under
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_UNBOUNDED_BACKFILL=true`. Both emit `cost_guard_blocked` events.
+
+### Recovery machinery (live, end-to-end)
+
+**INC-S6-001 QUARANTINE_BATCH recovery (LIVE, VERIFIED).** Full recovery lifecycle
+recorded in `atlas_ops.recovery_actions`:
+
+```
+recovery_id  rec-s6-quarantine-atlas20260719
+action_type  QUARANTINE_BATCH   incident INC-S6-001   scenario S6-DBT-004
+RUNNING -> SUCCESS / verification_status=VERIFIED
+source_state  raw=50000/int=50000/fct=0 for atlas-20260719, anomaly test failed
+target_state  raw=0/int=0/fct=0 for atlas-20260719; baseline atlas-20260717 reconciles 10/10 PASS
+```
+
+Targeted deletes only (no full refresh) removed the stray batch from
+`atlas_raw.events` and `atlas_intermediate.int_event_classification` (50000 rows
+each; fct already 0 under global dedup). Verification: post-quarantine counts all
+0 for the batch, and `validate_warehouse("atlas-20260717")` returned 10/10 PASS —
+the healthy baseline was untouched. `SUCCESS` was only accepted because
+`verification_status=VERIFIED` (ADR-014 contract enforced by `_validate`).
+
+### Failed-task timing provenance (Phase 1 fix, live)
+
+`task_events` FAILED/RETRY rows now carry non-null `started_at`,`completed_at`,
+`duration_ms` plus `timing_source`/`timing_confidence` — previously NULL for
+callback-recorded terminal events:
+
+```
+dbt_build       FAILED  src=airflow_task_instance conf=exact dur=146560ms
+write_run_summary FAILED src=airflow_task_instance conf=exact dur=14887ms
+upload_events   FAILED  src=step_runner_clock     conf=exact dur=17004ms
+```
+
+## Coverage proven by CI gates + unit tests (not live-injected)
+
+Per the game-day plan, these are covered by `scripts/validate_ci.sh` gates and
+`tests/unit` / `tests/airflow` rather than live injection, to keep the ephemeral
+window short and avoid destructive cloud operations:
+
+- Fault-injection safety contract & catalog schema — `gate_failure_injection`,
+  `tests/unit/test_failure_injection.py` (disabled by default; refuses
+  scheduled/canonical/production; bounded by duration; approvals required).
+- Recovery-action audit invariants (SUCCESS⇒VERIFIED, idempotent upsert,
+  controlled vocabulary) — `tests/unit/test_recovery_actions.py`.
+- Cost guards (dry-run ceiling, backfill window, full-refresh, guarded query
+  config) — `tests/unit/test_cost_guards.py` + live legs above.
+- Schema-version discrimination / multi-version normalization — ADR-015,
+  `atlas.validation.schema_versions` unit tests.
+- Rollback schema compatibility (breaking-migration blocks rollback) —
+  `atlas.ops.rollback_compatibility`, wired into `deploy_atlas_release.sh`.
+- Deploy/rollback ledger & immutable-bundle checks (S6-DEP-001/002/006,
+  S6-RBK-003) — existing deployment CI gates + smoke.
+
+## Exit state
+
+- Healthy baseline `atlas-20260717` reconciles 10/10 (verified post-recovery).
+- Zero unresolved test incidents: INC-S6-001 recovered + VERIFIED; INC-S6-002
+  (overlapping runs) contained by pausing the DAG.
+- `recovery_actions` holds a VERIFIED row for the recovery performed.
+- All injection variables unset; fault injection disabled by default.
+- Alert policies restored to repo-defined state (10/10 ENABLED) before teardown.

+
+- Demonstrations 1–10, 12, 15, 16 are proven offline / via live dbt unit tests
+  and pass in CI.
+- Demonstration 11 is proven in the live acceptance window with a dry-run
+  estimate (bills $0) — `python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard estimate` on a
+  deliberately unbounded query returns `BLOCKED` before any spend.
+- Demonstrations 13–14 (live IAM positive/negative) require
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true`; the exact reduction and test plan are in
+  `iam-review-sprint7.md`. Recorded as a blocked gate; not weakened, not faked.

+# Atlas Governance Model (Sprint 7)
+
+How Atlas makes ownership, classification, retention, contracts, and lifecycle
+**enforceable**. See ADR-016 for the source-of-truth decision.
+
+## The model in one picture
+
+```
+dbt meta.governance (models)      governance/non_dbt_assets.yml (everything else)
+            \                                   /

+                 python -m atlas.governance.catalog generate
+                              |
+              governance/generated/catalog.json + catalog.md
+                              |
+                     gate_governance (CI, offline)
+```
+
+## What is governed
+
+22 assets today (see `governance/generated/catalog.md`):
+
+- 8 dbt models (staging, intermediate ×3, dimensions ×2, fact, mart) — governed
+  by `meta.governance`.
+- 14 non-dbt assets (raw table, 7 operational tables, 2 buckets, 2 DAGs,
+  1 dashboard, 1 log resource) — governed by the registry.
+
+## Required fields
+
+Every asset declares: `asset_id`, `asset_type`, `purpose`, `technical_owner`,
+`business_owner_or_role`, `grain`, `source`, `consumers`, `classification`,
+`retention_class`, `freshness_expectation`, `contract_version`,
+`lifecycle_status`, `repository_path`, `runbook`, `last_reviewed`.
+
+## Enforced invariants (gate_governance)
+
+- Every asset has all required fields (non-empty).
+- `asset_type`, `classification`, `lifecycle_status`, `retention_class` are in
+  the controlled vocabulary (`policy.yml`).
+- `technical_owner` is a role id (regex), never an email address.
+- Every declared consumer is either a registered consumer (`consumers.yml`) or a
+  governed asset id.
+- **One source of truth:** no asset id appears in both dbt meta and the registry.
+- **Retention permanence:** a retention class marked `is_permanent_evidence`
+  cannot carry an expiration.
+- **No RESTRICTED assets** while `classifications.yml` asserts none exist.
+- The committed generated catalog matches a fresh generation (no drift).
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+python -m atlas.governance.catalog check      # validate + drift check (CI)
+python -m atlas.governance.catalog generate   # regenerate catalog after edits
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group python   # includes gate_governance
+```
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+`ACTIVE → DEPRECATED → REMOVAL_SCHEDULED → REMOVED`, enforced by the deprecation
+workflow (`docs/deprecation-runbook-sprint7.md`, Phase 6).
+
+## Classification & retention
+
+Levels: PUBLIC / INTERNAL / CONFIDENTIAL / RESTRICTED
+(`governance/classifications.yml`). Retention classes and disposal policy in
+`governance/retention.yml`; see `docs/retention-policy-sprint7.md` (ADR-019).

+# Agent Onboarding
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** coding agent. Everything a coding agent needs
+to work on Atlas **without asking the original builder what the repository
+means.** Start at [`../../START_HERE.md`](../../START_HERE.md).
+
+## Canonical starting document
+
+[`../../START_HERE.md`](../../START_HERE.md), then this file and the
+[agent task protocol](agent-task-protocol.md).
+
+## Repository scope & protected paths
+
+In scope: `` ELT platform. **Do not modify** (separate lifecycle):
+Document any unavoidable exception.
+
+## Source-of-truth hierarchy
+
+1. Code + config (behavior). 2. dbt `meta.governance` (model governance).
+3. `governance/*.yml` (non-dbt governance + policy). 4. ADRs (decisions).
+5. `validation-report-sprint{1..7}.md` (evidence). 6. Reference package (map).
+
+## Architecture invariants
+
+Read and preserve [architecture-invariants](../reference-architecture/architecture-invariants.md).
+Breaking one silently is a P0.
+
+## CI contract (credentialless)
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static           # all gates
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static --group python   # one slice
+# direct module commands need the src path (no installed package):
+export PYTHONPATH=src
+python -m atlas.governance.lineage
+python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset fct_events
+python -m atlas.reference.validate
+```
+PR CI is credentialless (INV-L1). Cloud validation lives in trusted workflows.
+Do not duplicate validation logic in workflow YAML.
+
+## Approval variables (missing = do safe work, record blocked, never fake)
+
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION, _IAM, _SCHEMA_MUTATION, _RETENTION_MUTATION,
+_PERFORMANCE_TESTS, _LIVE_ACCEPTANCE, _COMPOSER_CREATE, _TEARDOWN,
+_HANDOFF_LIVE_READ, _PUBLIC_EXTRACTION, _RELEASE`. Missing approval → complete the
+static work, record the blocked gate, preserve the plan, do not weaken the
+control, do not claim live proof.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Branches: `cursor/<descriptive-name>-<suffix>`; never move Sprint tags.
+- Focused commits; buildable repository after each commit.
+- New ADR only for a real decision; amend an existing ADR when appropriate.
+- Every asset needs `meta.governance` (models) or a `governance/` entry (non-dbt).
+- Update the [evidence index](../reference-architecture/evidence-index.md) and
+  lineage when affected.
+
+## Evidence & test expectations
+
+Add/adjust tests for every change (269-test unit+Airflow gate; 282 across all
+suites). Governance, schema, lineage,
+security, and cost gates must stay green. Record evidence with the correct
+live/static/blocked status; never mark blocked work complete.
+
+## Prohibited claims
+
+Do not claim production scale, enterprise/regulatory compliance, complete least
+privilege without live negative-test evidence, reusable-template status,
+second-project validation, or public-repository readiness. See
+[capability-evidence-map](../reference-architecture/capability-evidence-map.md).
+
+## Final report expectations
+
+State intended change, invariants touched, tests, rollback, approvals, and an
+honest limitations section (see [agent-task-protocol](agent-task-protocol.md)).

+# Agent Task Protocol
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** coding agent. The required sequence for any
+change. This protocol never tells you to ask the original builder what the
+repository means — the answer is always in the repository (see the
+[source-of-truth hierarchy](agent-onboarding.md#source-of-truth-hierarchy)).
+
+## Before implementation
+
+1. Inspect current `main` (`git fetch`, `git log`, tags).
+2. Read [`../../START_HERE.md`](../../START_HERE.md).
+3. Read [architecture-invariants](../reference-architecture/architecture-invariants.md).
+4. Identify affected components ([reusable](../reference-architecture/component-catalog-reusable.md) / [Atlas-specific](../reference-architecture/component-catalog-atlas-specific.md)).
+5. Identify owners and consumers (`governance/consumers.yml`, `impact`).
+6. State the intended change.
+7. List affected files.
+8. State risks.
+9. Define tests.
+10. Define rollback / reversal.
+11. Identify required approvals (`ATLAS_APPROVE_*`).
+
+## After implementation
+
+1. Run focused tests.
+2. Run canonical static CI (`bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static`).
+3. Update evidence ([evidence index](../reference-architecture/evidence-index.md)).
+4. Update governance metadata (dbt `meta.governance` / `governance/*.yml`).
+5. Update lineage if affected (`PYTHONPATH=src python -m atlas.governance.lineage`).
+6. Update consumer impact (`PYTHONPATH=src python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset <id>`).
+7. Update ADRs when a decision changes.
+8. Confirm no invariant was silently broken.
+9. Produce an honest limitations section (live vs static vs blocked).
+
+## Change plan template
+
+```
+Intended change:
+Affected files:
+Invariants touched (and how preserved):
+Tests (new/updated):
+Rollback:
+Approvals required:
+Evidence + status (live/static/blocked):
+Honest limitations:
+```
+
+Use [extension-points](../reference-architecture/extension-points.md) for the
+common unsafe shortcut to avoid per extension type.

+# Clean-Clone Reproduction
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, agent. How to prove Atlas
+reproduces from a fresh clone using only documented commands. Automated by
+[`../../scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh`](../../scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh);
+results recorded in
+[`../evidence-sprint8/clean-clone-results.md`](../evidence-sprint8/clean-clone-results.md).
+
+## What "clean" means
+
+A fresh temporary directory that does **not** reuse: the current virtualenv,
+generated data, dbt `target/`, cached credentials, local env files, prior test
+output, Composer state, or untracked files. The script creates its own venv and
+clones the committed state.
+
+## Credentialless procedure
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh                 # uses current HEAD
+bash scripts/validate_clean_clone.sh --ref <commit>  # a specific candidate
+```
+
+Steps performed: clone → checkout candidate → fresh venv →
+`pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-ci.txt` →
+`validate_ci.sh --mode static` → `generate_events.py` → `pytest` →
+`PYTHONPATH=src python -m atlas.governance.catalog check` →
+`... atlas.governance.lineage` → `... atlas.reference.validate` (the script sets
+`PYTHONPATH=src` since `atlas.*` lives under `src/` with no installed package). It
+records per-step outcome + duration and removes the temp dir (`--keep` to
+retain).
+
+**Expected result:** `clean_clone: PASS`. Optional tools absent from
+`requirements.txt` (dbt, Airflow) cause their gates to SKIP, not FAIL — install
+`dbt` (`scripts/setup_dbt.sh`) and `airflow/requirements-airflow.txt` to exercise
+those gates. `yamllint` and `shellcheck` come from `requirements-ci.txt`, so
+`workflow_yaml`/`shell_static` run.
+
+## Optional read-only GCP leg
+
+Run only under `ATLAS_APPROVE_HANDOFF_LIVE_READ=true`: documented auth, verify
+project, read-only inspection, BigQuery dry-runs only. No resource creation, no
+Composer, no billed queries. See
+[operator-onboarding](operator-onboarding.md) Mode 2.
+
+## Failure handling
+
+Every failed step becomes a documentation fix, a setup-script fix, an
+environment-contract clarification, or a recorded external limitation. **Rerun
+from a second fresh directory after fixes** — never declare success from a
+repaired dirty clone.

+# Engineering Evidence Ledger
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** reviewer, interviewer. Detailed companion to
+[capability-evidence-map](../reference-architecture/capability-evidence-map.md).
+Maps concrete Atlas artifacts to competency domains. Framing is honest: this is
+evidence of capability at synthetic scale, not a seniority claim.
+
+| Domain | Concrete evidence in repo | Level | Limitation |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| SQL & warehousing | `dbt/atlas_dbt/models` (grain, dedup, incremental, partition pruning); `performance-review-sprint7.md` | Demonstrated | synthetic 50k rows |
+| dbt | sources/staging/intermediate/core/marts + tests + contracts + `schema_check` | Demonstrated | single project |
+| GCP | Sprints 1–7 live: GCS, BigQuery, WIF, Composer, Logging, Monitoring | Demonstrated | ephemeral env; 1 blocked IAM reduction |
+| Pipeline engineering | `src/atlas/{ingestion,batch,ops}`, retries/backfills, verified recovery | Demonstrated | batch only |
+| Software engineering | 21-gate `validate_ci.sh`, 269-test unit+Airflow gate (282 all suites), immutable bundles, rollback | Demonstrated | single repo |
+| Governance & security | `src/atlas/governance/*`, `governance/*`, ADR-016–019 | Demonstrated | least privilege not proven live (RISK-01/02) |
+| Operations | Sprints 5/6 alerts, runbooks, incident reports, recovery audit | Demonstrated | representative live subset |
+| Reproducibility (Sprint 8) | `validate_clean_clone.sh`, reference package, evidence index | Demonstrated | single tester context |
+
+## Next-level requirements (honest)
+
+- **Scale:** rerun performance/cost at production volume with billed metrics
+  (RISK-03, requires `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS`).
+- **Least privilege:** execute the IAM reduction + negative test (RISK-01/02,
+  requires `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`).
+- **Promotion:** multi-environment production promotion (RISK-07).
+- **Ingestion:** streaming/event-driven/API sources (RISK-08; extension plan in
+  [extension-points](../reference-architecture/extension-points.md)).
+- **Template:** extract + validate via a separate project (RISK-11/12).
+
+No claim of enterprise governance, regulatory certification, production-scale
+performance, or senior tenure is made.

+# Independent Handoff Assignment
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** independent tester (engineer or coding agent).
+You receive **only**: the repository clone, [`../../START_HERE.md`](../../START_HERE.md),
+and this assignment. You do **not** receive prior conversations, the
+implementation agent's reasoning, hidden commands, or verbal help. Record where
+you struggle — that feedback repairs the handoff.
+
+## Assignment (complete in order)
+
+1. Explain Atlas in your own words (2–4 sentences).
+2. Identify the data grain of the fact table.
+3. Explain the difference between `batch_id` and `pipeline_run_id`.
+4. Locate the current release (tag + commit).
+5. Run credentialless validation and report the result.
+6. Locate evidence for **one successful deployment**.
+7. Locate evidence for **one failed deployment**.
+8. Locate evidence for **one recovery**.
+9. Explain how schema changes are controlled.
+10. Explain how an unsafe/unbounded query is blocked.
+11. Identify all unresolved **high-priority** risks.
+12. Propose how to add an **API ingestion source**.
+13. List the files and invariants affected by that extension.
+14. Identify what requires explicit approval.
+15. State which claims are **not** proven at production scale.
+
+## Allowed inputs only
+
+- `START_HERE.md` and whatever it links to inside the repository.
+- The credentialless command in START_HERE §6.
+- No GCP credentials required. No outside help on the first attempt.

+2. **Validate locally (15 min).**
+   ```bash

+   pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-ci.txt
+   bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static
+   ```
+   Expect a green gate summary (`validate_ci: PASS`). This proves your
+   environment and the repository without touching GCP.
+3. **Inspect governance & lineage (10 min).**
+   ```bash
+   export PYTHONPATH=src            # atlas.* modules live under src/
+   python -m atlas.governance.catalog check
+   python -m atlas.governance.lineage
+   python -m atlas.reference.validate

+4. **Read the operating model (10 min).**
+   [operating-model](../reference-architecture/operating-model.md) — know who has
+   deployment, incident, recovery, and release authority.
+5. **Skim the risks (10 min).**
+   [unresolved-risks](../reference-architecture/unresolved-risks.md) — note the
+   three BLOCKED Sprint 7 gates and that they require approval variables.
+6. **Know the "never casually" list (5 min).** START_HERE §14.
+
+After the first hour you can safely review, validate, and (with
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_HANDOFF_LIVE_READ=true`) inspect the live project read-only. Do
+not perform any mutation until you have read the relevant runbook and have the

+
+## Mode 3 — Controlled operation
+
+Every mutation is gated on an `ATLAS_APPROVE_*` variable. Use the existing
+runbooks:
+
+- Deploy / rollback → [ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md](../ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md)
+- Observability / per-alert → [observability-runbook-sprint5.md](../observability-runbook-sprint5.md)
+- Recovery → [recovery-runbook-sprint6.md](../recovery-runbook-sprint6.md)
+- Governance procedures → [governance-model-sprint7.md](../governance-model-sprint7.md)
+- Cost controls → [cost-review-sprint7.md](../cost-review-sprint7.md)
+- Approval variables → [agent-onboarding.md](agent-onboarding.md)
+
+Use the [operator checklist](operator-checklist.md) for each run and the
+[first-hour guide](operator-first-hour.md) when you are brand new.

+# Atlas IAM & Least-Privilege Review (Sprint 7)
+
+Live read-only inventory of `example-gcp-project` on 2026-07-19 via
+`gcloud projects get-iam-policy` and per-SA `get-iam-policy`. No IAM mutation was
+performed (see the blocked gate at the end — `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM` is not set).
+
+## Identity inventory
+
+| Principal | Type | Purpose | Roles (project unless noted) | Assessment |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `atlas-composer-runtime@…` | SA | Composer/Airflow runtime | `composer.worker`, `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `bigquery.resourceViewer` | Appropriate; writes all atlas_* datasets |
+| `atlas-github-deployer@…` | SA (WIF) | CI/CD deploy + migrations | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `composer.user`, `composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` | Appropriate for deploy/migrate; WIF-scoped |
+| `atlas-github-integration@…` | SA (WIF) | PR integration tests | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor` | **Excess:** project-level `dataEditor` broader than its isolated CI datasets need |
+| `service-911…@cloudcomposer-accounts` | Google-managed | Composer service agent | `composer.serviceAgent`, `composer.ServiceAgentV2Ext` | Google-managed; do not modify |
+| `123456789012-compute@developer` | Google default SA | (unused by Atlas) | `roles/editor` | **Project hygiene finding:** default-SA Editor; not Atlas-created, out of Atlas scope to remove |
+| `service1-831@…` | SA | bootstrap | `roles/owner` | Pre-existing bootstrap owner; not Atlas-created |
+| `<operator-email>` | human | operator/owner | `roles/owner` | Human operator; expected |
+
+### Keyless authentication (WIF)
+
+Both GitHub SAs are bound only via `roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser` to:
+
+```
+principalSet://…/workloadIdentityPools/atlas-github-pool/
+  attribute.repository_and_ref/YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY@refs/heads/main
+```
+
+- **No service-account keys exist** (keyless).
+- Trust is scoped to the **exact repo and `main` ref** — a fork or non-main ref
+  cannot assume these identities. This trust condition must not be weakened.
+
+## IAM evidence matrix
+
+| principal | required_permissions | observed usage | excess | recommended_action | change_applied | neg_test | pos_test |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| composer-runtime | jobUser + dataEditor on atlas_* + composer.worker | pipeline runs, dbt builds | none material | keep | n/a | blocked | blocked |
+| github-deployer | jobUser + dataEditor (migrations) + composer deploy | migrations, Composer deploy | slightly broad (dataEditor project) | keep (needs multi-dataset write) | n/a | blocked | blocked |
+| **github-integration** | jobUser + dataEditor on **CI datasets only** | CI integration writes to isolated datasets | **project-level dataEditor** | **scope dataEditor to CI datasets (dataset-level grant); remove project-level** | **blocked (needs ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM)** | planned | planned |
+| compute default SA | none (unused by Atlas) | none observed | `roles/editor` | out of Atlas scope; flag to project owner | n/a | n/a | n/a |
+
+## Least-privilege rules confirmed
+
+- No Owner/Editor on any **Atlas-created** SA. ✓
+- No service-account keys (keyless WIF). ✓
+- WIF trust conditions scoped to repo + `main`. ✓
+- No broad Project IAM Admin on Atlas SAs. ✓
+- No unnecessary cross-project permissions. ✓
+
+## Justified reduction candidate (exact plan, gated)
+
+**Target:** `atlas-github-integration` — replace project-level
+`roles/bigquery.dataEditor` with dataset-level grants on the ephemeral CI
+datasets only.
+
+Mutation sequence (requires `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true`):
+
+1. Grant `bigquery.dataEditor` at the CI dataset scope (e.g. `atlas_ci_*`).
+2. Remove the project-level `bigquery.dataEditor` binding for the SA.
+3. **Positive test:** run the CI integration workflow → writes to `atlas_ci_*`
+   succeed.
+4. **Negative test:** as the same SA, attempt to write to `atlas_core`
+   (a protected canonical dataset) → expect `PERMISSION_DENIED`.
+5. Record both results; roll back the grant only if the positive workflow breaks.
+
+The negative test uses a harmless denied write (no data loss). No
+destructive/org-level action.
+
+## Blocked completion gate
+
+- **Gate:** live IAM reduction + positive/negative test.
+- **Blocking approval:** `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true` (not set in this environment).
+- **Status:** static review complete; exact reduction plan produced above; no
+  mutation performed. Per completion gate #20, this report documents the single
+  justified reduction and the exact test plan; execution is pending approval.
+  The gate is **not weakened** and no live proof is claimed.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- "Complete least privilege" is not claimed without permission-level usage
+  telemetry; the review is role-scope-level with observed workload evidence.
+- Default-compute-SA `roles/editor` and the bootstrap `roles/owner` are project
+  hygiene items outside Atlas's created identities; flagged, not modified.

+# Atlas Incident Report — INC-S6-001: Same-Date Batch Contamination
+
+Status: closed (recovered, verified). This report documents a genuine
+data-correctness incident discovered during the Sprint 6 live game-day window: a
+stray scheduled catch-up batch reprocessed a date already processed by several
+other batches, breaking the batch-scoped anomaly-profile quality gate. Recovered
+by a targeted `QUARANTINE_BATCH` action, audited in `atlas_ops.recovery_actions`.
+All timestamps are UTC on 2026-07-19.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Incident id | INC-S6-001 |
+| Title | Canonical `dbt build` blocked — same-date batch contamination |
+| Catalog scenario | S6-DBT-002 (test-failure blocks publication) / S6-DBT-004 (duplicate grain) |
+| Severity | HIGH (publication blocked; no bad data published) |
+| Affected component | `atlas_batch_pipeline` / `dbt_build` → `assert_source_anomaly_profile` |
+| Affected batch | `atlas-20260719` (stray scheduled catch-up run) |
+| Detection source | `dbt build` singular test failure; `pipeline_runs` FAILED |
+| Data impact | None published — quality gate stopped promotion; contamination confined to raw/intermediate and removed on recovery |
+| Recovery | `QUARANTINE_BATCH` (targeted deletes, no full refresh), verified |
+| Operator | cloud-agent (development ownership model) |
+
+## Timeline (UTC, 2026-07-19)
+
+| Time | Event | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 14:31 | Composer `atlas-dev` created; DAG lands paused | `manage_atlas_composer.sh` |
+| ~14:53 | Deploy promotes DAG and unpauses for smoke; Airflow materialises latest scheduled interval `scheduled__2026-07-19T06:00` (batch `atlas-20260719`) | deploy log |
+| 14:55–15:00 | Scheduled run ingests raw for `atlas-20260719`; `dbt_build` FAILED (contended with concurrent smoke run — see INC-S6-002) | `task_events` |
+| 15:18 | Manual baseline `baseline-s6-20260719` (same batch id) — raw already present, idempotent (1 pipeline_run_id, 50000 rows) | `atlas_raw.events` |
+| 15:35 | Baseline `dbt_build` FAILED solo on `assert_source_anomaly_profile` — `is_duplicate_extra=50000` (expected 50); 33 downstream SKIP | dbt output, `task_events` |
+| 16:04 | Recovery `rec-s6-quarantine-atlas20260719` opened (RUNNING) | `recovery_actions` |
+| 16:04 | Targeted deletes: `atlas_raw.events` (-50000), `atlas_intermediate.int_event_classification` (-50000); fct already 0 | `bq` DELETE results |
+| 16:05 | Verification: batch counts raw/int/fct = 0/0/0; `validate_warehouse("atlas-20260717")` = 10/10 PASS | `validate_warehouse` |
+| 16:05 | Recovery finalized SUCCESS / VERIFIED | `recovery_actions` |
+
+## Technical root cause
+
+`scripts/generate_events.py` derives its seed deterministically from
+`processing_date` (`default_seed_for_date`), so **every** batch that processes a
+given calendar date emits the *identical* set of `event_id`s. On 2026-07-19 the
+date was processed many times: Sprint 5/6 deploy smoke batches, drill batches, a
+stray scheduled catch-up run, and a manual baseline.
+
+`models/intermediate/int_event_classification.sql` computes duplicate rank with
+`row_number() over (partition by event_id ...)` across the **entire** staged
+source (all batches), and flags `duplicate_rank > 1` as `is_duplicate_extra`.
+This global dedup is correct for the fact grain (one row per `event_id`), but the
+Sprint 2 acceptance test `tests/assert_source_anomaly_profile.sql` asserts an
+*exact* per-batch anomaly profile (`duplicate_extra_count = 50`). When a date is
+processed by more than one batch, every `event_id` in the newest batch already
+exists under an earlier batch, so its rows rank > 1 and
+`is_duplicate_extra` inflates to the full batch size (50000). The test returns 1
+row → `dbt build` exits non-zero → publication is correctly blocked.
+
+Confirmation it was a *test* failure, not an engine error: no failed BigQuery
+jobs in `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` for the window; raw/intermediate row counts for
+the batch were internally consistent (50000 rows, 49950 distinct event ids = the
+50 intentionally-injected duplicates).
+
+## Recovery
+
+Controlled `QUARANTINE_BATCH` (targeted repair, not full refresh — ADR-014):
+
+1. `start_recovery_action(QUARANTINE_BATCH, incident=INC-S6-001, batch=atlas-20260719)` → RUNNING row.
+2. `DELETE FROM atlas_raw.events WHERE batch_id='atlas-20260719'` (50000 rows).
+3. `DELETE FROM atlas_intermediate.int_event_classification WHERE batch_id='atlas-20260719'` (50000 rows).
+4. Verify: raw/int/fct counts for the batch = 0; `validate_warehouse("atlas-20260717")` = 10/10 PASS.
+5. `finalize_recovery_action(status=SUCCESS, verification_status=VERIFIED)` — `SUCCESS` accepted only because verification passed (enforced by `_validate`).
+
+The healthy baseline `atlas-20260717` (a date with unique event ids) was never
+affected and continued to reconcile 10/10 throughout.
+
+## Blameless analysis & prevention
+
+- The stray scheduled run existed only because the smoke deploy unpauses the DAG,
+  and Airflow immediately materialised the latest scheduled interval. For the
+  rest of the window the DAG was paused so only explicit manual triggers ran.
+- The deeper fragility — the batch-scoped anomaly test being sensitive to
+  cross-batch same-date reprocessing — is a real limitation of using a
+  date-seeded generator with a global-dedup intermediate. It does **not** affect
+  fact correctness (global dedup keeps one row per event id) but it does make the
+  Sprint 2 exact-count acceptance test unreliable whenever a date is reprocessed.
+
+### Recommended follow-ups (Sprint 7 candidates)
+
+1. Scope the duplicate-rank window (or the anomaly test) to the batch being
+   validated, so cross-batch reprocessing of a date cannot distort a
+   batch-scoped acceptance profile.
+2. Make smoke/drill batches use event ids namespaced by `batch_id` (or an
+   isolated dataset), removing cross-batch `event_id` collisions entirely.
+3. Keep production canonical batches one-per-date (already the norm); treat any
+   second batch for a date as an incident (this report) rather than a silent
+   overwrite.

+# Atlas Incident Report — INC-S6-002: Overlapping Pipeline Runs During Deploy
+
+Status: closed (contained). This report documents a real, unplanned
+manifestation of the overlapping-run hazard catalogued as S6-AIR-004, observed
+during the Sprint 6 deploy window. All timestamps are UTC on 2026-07-19.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Incident id | INC-S6-002 |
+| Title | Scheduled catch-up run collided with deploy smoke run on shared dbt targets |
+| Catalog scenario | S6-AIR-004 (overlapping runs) |
+| Severity | MEDIUM (one run failed; no bad data published) |
+| Affected component | `atlas_batch_pipeline` / `dbt_build` |
+| Affected runs | `scheduled__2026-07-19T06:00` (FAILED) vs `smoke__atlas-dev-20260719T145242Z-b735823b` (SUCCESS) |
+| Data impact | None published — failed run never produced a success marker |
+| Containment | DAG paused so only explicit manual triggers ran for the rest of the window |
+
+## Timeline (UTC, 2026-07-19)
+
+| Time | Event | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 14:52 | Deploy begins; assets promoted to Composer bucket | deploy log |
+| ~14:53 | DAG promoted and unpaused to run smoke; Airflow also materialises the latest scheduled interval (`scheduled__2026-07-19T06:00`, catchup=False) | Airflow scheduler |
+| 14:54 | Smoke run starts | deploy log (smoke run id) |
+| 14:55–14:58 | Scheduled run progresses (`dbt_seed`, `dbt_source_freshness` SUCCESS) | `task_events` |
+| 15:00:16 | Scheduled run `dbt_build` FAILED — contended with the concurrent smoke `dbt_build` on shared dbt target tables | `task_events` |
+| 15:13:08 | Smoke run SUCCESS (12/12 smoke checks) | deploy log |
+| 15:19 | DAG paused for the remainder of the game-day window | `dags pause` |
+
+## Technical root cause
+
+The DAG declares `max_active_runs=1` and `is_paused_upon_creation=True`, and the
+deploy intentionally unpauses it only after promotion so the smoke run can
+execute. At unpause, the scheduler evaluated the schedule (`0 6 * * *`,
+`catchup=False`) and created the most-recent interval run for 06:00. That
+scheduled run and the deploy's smoke run both executed `dbt build` against the
+same shared dbt target datasets (`atlas_staging`/`atlas_intermediate`/
+`atlas_core`/`atlas_marts`); concurrent builds of the same relations are not
+safe, and the scheduled run's `dbt_build` failed.
+
+`max_active_runs=1` limits *scheduled* concurrency but the smoke run is a
+separately-triggered manual run and the scheduled run was created at the same
+unpause moment, so the two overlapped briefly.
+
+## Containment & prevention
+
+- Containment: the DAG was paused immediately after the deploy window opened, so
+  the rest of the game day used only explicit manual triggers with no scheduler
+  contention. The failed scheduled run published nothing (no success marker).
+- The failed scheduled run left a canonical batch (`atlas-20260719`) partially in
+  raw/intermediate, which subsequently surfaced INC-S6-001; both were recovered.
+
+### Recommended follow-ups (Sprint 7 candidates)
+
+1. Keep the DAG paused during deploy/smoke and unpause only after smoke passes
+   (or run smoke against an isolated smoke schema), so a scheduled interval can
+   never contend with smoke.
+2. Consider a deploy-time schedule freeze window, or a dbt build lock keyed on
+   the target dataset, to make overlapping builds fail fast and cleanly rather
+   than midway.

+# Sprint 4 Incident & Failure-Demonstration Report
+
+Deliberate delivery-control failure demonstrations (Phase 16) plus real
+defects found and fixed during Sprint 4. Nothing here was merged to `main`;
+demonstration branch PR #15 was closed unmerged by design.
+
+## Gate demonstrations (PR #15, branch `cursor/atlas-sprint-4-gate-demos-64a2`)
+
+| # | Injected defect | Expected | Observed | Evidence (workflow run / job) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | failing Python unit test (`tests/unit/test_demo_gate.py`) | `atlas-python` + `atlas-ci-gate` fail | confirmed | run `29661079879`: atlas-python **failure**, atlas-ci-gate **failure** |
+| 2 | broken DAG import (`dags/demo_broken_dag.py`, nonexistent provider import) | `atlas-airflow` + gate fail | confirmed after hardening (see D1) | run `29661300491`: atlas-airflow **failure**, gate **failure** |
+| 3 | failing dbt parse (`demo_broken_model.sql`, unknown `ref`) | `atlas-dbt` + gate fail | confirmed | run `29661397887`: atlas-dbt **failure**, gate **failure** |
+| 4 | simulated service-account key (`config/demo-service-account.json`) | secret scan fails **without printing the secret** | confirmed — job log reports file path and detector name only | run `29661467375`, job `88124766823`: atlas-security-shell **failure** |
+
+Demonstrations 5–8 (invalid migration, failed smoke batch, concurrent
+deployment, rollback) are covered as follows:
+
+| # | Control | How it is proven |
+|---|---|---|
+| 5 | invalid migration blocks before DAG promotion | unit tests `test_apply_refuses_changed_recorded_migration`, `test_apply_records_failure_and_blocks`; deploy stage order (`migrations` precedes `promote`) with `fail_stage` recording FAILED |
+| 6 | failed smoke ⇒ FAILED record, no success release | **executed live**: defective release `1af166e` (branch `cursor/atlas-sprint-4-defect-demo-64a2`, `inject_failure: true`) failed its smoke batch at `dbt_build`; deployment `atlas-dev-20260719T010538Z-1af166ea` recorded `FAILED` / `failure_stage=smoke_batch`; no success metadata was published. Log: `evidence-sprint4/deploy-defective-1af166ea.log` |
+| 7 | concurrent deployment prevented | `concurrency: group: atlas-dev-deployment` with `cancel-in-progress: false` on both deploy and rollback workflows — GitHub queues the second run; no overlapping mutation is possible |
+| 8 | rollback restores prior validated release | **executed live**: `rollback_atlas.sh` selected the newest prior SUCCESS (`640cd78`), re-promoted it, ran rollback smoke batch `atlas-smoke-640cd786-local1784423774` (50 000 rows, all 12 checks PASS) and recorded `ROLLED_BACK` with `previous_git_sha=1af166e`. Log: `evidence-sprint4/rollback-640cd786.log` |
+
+## Real defects found by Sprint 4 controls (and fixed)
+
+### D1 — DagBag safe-mode heuristic skipped a broken DAG
+
+Demonstration 2 initially **passed** CI: the injected file did not contain
+both "dag" and "airflow" tokens, so DagBag's safe-mode heuristic never parsed
+it. Fix: the `dag_import` gate now parses with `safe_mode=False`, so every
+`.py` file under `dags/` must import cleanly. The hardening commit landed
+after PR #14 was squash-merged and was carried onto the delivery branch
+(commit `383ba8a`) so it is part of the Sprint 4 release.
+
+### D2 — Isolated integration runs could write to canonical `atlas_raw`
+
+`sql/migrate_sprint3.sql` hardcoded the `atlas_raw` dataset; the loader's
+migration step would have ALTERed the canonical table even when running
+against `atlas_ci_*` isolation. Fix: migration SQL parameterized with
+`{dataset_id}`; loader renders it from settings. Found by code inspection
+while building `validate_gcp_integration.sh`.
+
+### D3 — Event generation was not cross-machine deterministic
+
+The integration determinism gate failed on first live run: `event_id` used
+`uuid.uuid4()` (backed by `os.urandom`), so identical batch identities
+produced different bytes. Fix: UUIDs now derive from the seeded RNG
+(`uuid.UUID(int=rng.getrandbits(128), version=4)`); regression test asserts
+byte-identical regeneration to fresh paths. This is exactly the class of
+defect the gate exists to catch — reproducible batches are what make smoke
+runs and reruns comparable.
+
+### D4 — Error sanitizer leaked values following secret field names
+
+`sanitize_error_message` redacted the token `private_key` but left the value
+after it (`{"private_key": "SECRET"}` → SECRET survived). Fix: patterns now
+consume the field value; deployment audit tests assert `[REDACTED]` replaces
+the value.
+
+### D5 — Composer runtime SA IAM race
+
+`gcloud iam service-accounts create` propagates asynchronously; immediate
+role binding failed with "service account does not exist" on the first live
+create. Fix: bounded retry with backoff in `manage_atlas_composer.sh`.
+
+## Live deployment failure ledger (every attempt is audited)
+
+The first Composer deployment to reach `SUCCESS` took seven attempts. Each
+failure was recorded in `atlas_ops.deployments` with its `failure_stage`,
+each exposed a real defect, and each fix is a focused commit on the delivery
+branch:
+
+| deployment_id | sha | failure_stage | Root cause → fix |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `atlas-dev-20260718T225900Z-dd7dd5d4` | `dd7dd5d` | `fetch_release` | D6 below |
+| `atlas-dev-20260718T230144Z-2aeff26e` | `2aeff26` | `dag_parse` | D7 below |
+| `atlas-dev-20260718T231842Z-83c0d137` | `83c0d13` | `dag_parse` | D8 below |
+| `atlas-dev-20260718T233128Z-74732eee` | `74732ee` | `smoke_batch` | D9 below |
+| `atlas-dev-20260719T001246Z-f9959cb6` | `f9959cb` | `smoke_batch` | D10 below (smoke DAG run itself succeeded; poller defect) |
+| `atlas-dev-20260719T004112Z-37d4e6aa` | `37d4e6a` | `smoke_validation` | D11 below |
+| `atlas-dev-20260719T005308Z-640cd786` | `640cd78` | — | **SUCCESS** — all 12 smoke checks PASS |
+
+### D6 — Checksum verification compared filenames, not digests
+
+The stored `.sha256` records the builder's local filename; the fetched object
+is `atlas-bundle.tar.gz`, so `sha256sum -c` failed on every fetch. Fix:
+compare digests directly in `fetch_and_verify_release`.
+
+### D7 — DAG imports assumed the repository layout, not Composer's
+
+Locally the DAG sits at the DagBag root, so `atlas_orchestration` and
+`atlas` resolved implicitly. On Composer the DAG lives under
+`dags/project_atlas/`, which Airflow 3's processor does not put on
+`sys.path` — both imports failed. Fix: the DAG file adds its own directory
+and `ATLAS_ROOT/src` to `sys.path` before package imports, and
+`dags/.airflowignore` stops helper-package modules from being parsed as DAG
+files. This is precisely the parity gap the live deploy stage exists to catch.
+
+### D8 — Stale Airflow import-error rows failed a healthy deployment
+
+Airflow retains the previous release's import errors until the processor
+re-evaluates each file after GCS sync; the parse gate failed on the first
+snapshot even though the DAG parsed cleanly seconds later. Fix:
+`wait_for_dag_parse` keeps polling until the deadline and fails only if
+errors persist.
+
+### D9 — Bundle stripped `dbt_packages` but the runtime never runs `dbt deps`
+
+Composer workers must not resolve packages from the network, yet the bundle
+excluded `dbt_packages` as a build output — `dbt seed` aborted with
+"0 package(s) installed". Fix: the bundle build vendors pinned packages
+(`dbt deps` against `package-lock.yml`) into the staged tree and guards that
+`dbt_utils` is present.
+
+### D10 — Smoke poller never matched Airflow 3 `dags state` output
+
+For runs triggered with `--conf`, Airflow 3 prints `success, {conf json}`;
+the anchored regex `^(success|failed|…)$` matched nothing, so the poll spun
+until timeout although the smoke run had succeeded. The stuck attempt was
+finalized as `FAILED` (error_type `DeploymentTooling`) for audit honesty.
+Fix: match the leading state token; log each poll iteration.
+
+### D11 — Deterministic bundles defeated `gcloud storage rsync`
+
+The reproducible tar pins every file mtime, so rsync's size+mtime comparison
+skipped changed files whose size didn't change — the promoted runtime kept
+the *previous* release's `release-manifest.json` and the `deployed_sha`
+smoke check failed (correctly). Fix: promotion rsyncs with
+`--checksums-only`. The same deployment also exposed the D10 regex bug in
+`validate_atlas_deployment.sh`'s Airflow-state check, fixed the same way.
+
+## Recovery posture
+
+Every deploy-stage failure records `FAILED` with `failure_stage` in
+`atlas_ops.deployments`, preserves the immutable bundle, and prints the exact
+re-run command. See `ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md` §9 for the failure table.

+# Atlas Incident Report — Sprint 5 Controlled Pipeline-Failure Drill
+
+Status: closed. This report documents the Sprint 5 Drill B incident: a
+deliberately injected dbt test failure in the deployed `atlas_batch_pipeline`,
+detected by the observability monitor, alerted through Cloud Monitoring, and
+recovered by a clean rerun. Every timestamp below is UTC on 2026-07-19 and is
+backed by artifacts in `docs/evidence-sprint5/`.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Incident title | Atlas pipeline failed — dbt build test failure (controlled drill) |
+| Date | 2026-07-19 |
+| Duration (failure → incident closed) | 06:41:47 → 07:03:11 (21 min 24 s) |
+| Severity | CRITICAL (per `Atlas: pipeline failed` policy) |
+| Affected component | `atlas_batch_pipeline` / `dbt_build` task |
+| Detection source | `atlas_observability_monitor` → `custom.googleapis.com/atlas/monitor/check_status{check_name=latest_run_state}` |
+| Alert policy | `Atlas: pipeline failed` (policy id `14992081806484518993`) |
+| Violation id | `0.oaf4n04jvxx1` |
+| Notification route | Cloud Monitoring email channel `projects/example-gcp-project/notificationChannels/6567861337166986657` ("Atlas Primary Operator (email)") |
+| Operator | Primary operator (development ownership model, `on-call-model-sprint5.md`) |
+| Data impact | None durable — failed batch never published a success marker; rerun replaced it idempotently |
+
+## Timeline (UTC, 2026-07-19)
+
+| Time | Event | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 06:33:23 | Drill trigger: `atlas_batch_pipeline` run `drillb__pipeline-failure-20260719` with conf `dbt_test_failure: true` (batch `atlas-drillb-20260719`, run `atlas-drillb-20260719-run`) | Airflow API dag-run record |
+| 06:33:54 | `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` row created, status RUNNING | `pipeline_runs` |
+| 06:39:00 | `dbt_build` task attempt 1 STARTED | `task-events-drills.json` |
+| ~06:41 | `dbt_build` FAILED — injected dbt test failure (`inject_failure` var) | `task-events-drills.json` |
+| 06:41:47 | Finalizer recorded pipeline run FAILED; `validate_warehouse` and `publish_success_marker` recorded UPSTREAM_FAILED | `pipeline_runs`, `task-events-drills.json` |
+| 06:44:05 | Monitor evaluation: `latest_run_state` = FAIL / CRITICAL (run `drillb-monitor-eval-20260719`) | `monitor-evaluations.json` |
+| 06:44:09 | `check_status{check_name=latest_run_state}` = 2 (FAIL) published | `metric-timeseries-summary.json` |
+| 06:46:19 | Incident opened: `Atlas: pipeline failed`, violation `0.oaf4n04jvxx1`; notification dispatched to the email channel | `incident-events.json` |
+| 06:48:56 | Recovery rerun `drillb__recovery-20260719` triggered — same `batch_id`, no injection (tests idempotent replacement) | Airflow API |
+| 06:58:00 | Recovery run SUCCESS (`atlas-drillb-20260719-recovery-run`) | `pipeline_runs` |
+| 07:01:17 | Monitor re-evaluation: `latest_run_state` = PASS | `monitor-evaluations.json` |
+| 07:03:11 | Incident auto-resolved (`ViolationAutoResolve`) | `incident-events.json` |
+
+Detection latency (pipeline FAILED recorded → incident open): **4 min 32 s**
+(monitor was manually triggered for the drill; the scheduled 30-minute cadence
+bounds worst-case detection at ~35 minutes).
+Recovery latency (recovery SUCCESS → incident closed): **5 min 11 s**.
+
+## Technical root cause
+
+Observation: `dbt_build` executed `dbt build --vars {"validated_batch_id":
+"atlas-drillb-20260719", "inject_failure": true}`. The `inject_failure` var
+activates the controlled failing dbt test retained from Sprint 3 for exactly
+this purpose. The dbt process exited non-zero; the step runner recorded a
+FAILED task event and re-raised, Airflow marked the task failed (retries are
+not configured for deliberate quality-gate failures), and downstream tasks
+went to `upstream_failed`.
+
+Inference: this is the intended behavior of the delivery controls — a failed
+warehouse quality gate must stop publication. No defect in the pipeline
+itself.
+
+Contributing factor (real defect found and fixed during this drill window):
+the first `telemetry_completeness` implementation evaluated the newest
+`pipeline_runs` row even while it was still RUNNING, which opened a
+false-positive `Atlas: telemetry incomplete` incident at 06:05:51 (violation
+`0.oaf3pqgsimvt`, auto-resolved 06:33:00). Fixed in commit `2109310` (check
+now only scores terminal runs) and regression-covered.
+
+## Customer / data impact
+
+None durable. Observation: the failed run's batch (`atlas-drillb-20260719`)
+loaded raw rows but never passed `validate_warehouse` and never wrote a
+success marker; marts never exposed the batch as validated. The recovery
+rerun reused the same `batch_id`, replacing the batch idempotently
+(`no_duplicate_load` semantics from Sprint 3/4 apply). `quality_results` for
+the recovery run recorded all reconciliation checks PASS.
+
+## Operator response (runbook execution)
+
+Followed `observability-runbook-sprint5.md` → "Atlas: pipeline failed":
+
+1. First query — latest run state and failed task from
+   `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` / `atlas_ops.task_events`: identified `dbt_build`
+   attempt 1 FAILED. Worked as documented.
+2. First log filter — `jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id="atlas-drillb-20260719-run"`
+   on logName `atlas-events`: returned 20 correlated structured events
+   covering every task lifecycle transition
+   (`drillb-correlated-logs.json`). Worked as documented.
+3. Containment — no action needed: failure propagation had already blocked
+   publication.
+4. Recovery — rerun without the injected defect per the runbook's "when a
+   rerun is safe" rule (same batch id ⇒ idempotent replacement). Worked.
+5. Verification — recovery SUCCESS in `pipeline_runs`, quality results PASS,
+   monitor PASS, incident auto-closed.
+
+## What worked
+
+- Task-level audit (`task_events`) captured STARTED / FAILED /
+  UPSTREAM_FAILED with correct grain, including the finalizer's backfill of
+  never-scheduled tasks.
+- Structured logs correlated the whole run by `pipeline_run_id` in one query,
+  in both the `atlas-observability` bucket and the `atlas_logs` linked
+  dataset.
+- Monitor → metric → alert → email chain fired end to end with no manual
+  glue.
+- Idempotent rerun recovery behaved exactly as the Sprint 3 design promised.
+- Incident auto-closed on recovery; no manual reset was needed.
+
+## What failed / gaps observed
+
+1. (Fixed) `telemetry_completeness` false positive on in-flight runs — fix in
+   `2109310` with regression test
+   (`test_observability_monitor.py`).
+2. (Platform, open) Composer 3 `build.13` exports **no** Airflow component
+   logs (worker/scheduler/task streams) to the customer project — reproduced
+   from Sprint 4. Diagnosis evidence: zero `airflow-*` log names in any
+   bucket including `_Default`; a manual `entries.write` to the identical
+   logName/resource succeeds and routes correctly; Composer's own task-log
+   reader reports "Logs not found"; environment restart did not recover it.
+   Mitigation shipped in `2109310`: contract events are written directly to
+   the Cloud Logging API (`atlas-events`) when
+   `ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true`, so Atlas telemetry no longer depends on
+   the broken export path. Raw Airflow stdout remains unavailable and is
+   documented as an unresolved platform limitation.
+3. `task_events.FAILED` rows have NULL `completed_at`/`duration_ms` (the
+   failure callback does not receive reliable timing). Cosmetic; noted as a
+   Sprint 6 cleanup candidate.
+4. Email delivery latency was not independently measurable (Cloud Monitoring
+   does not expose per-notification delivery logs for email channels);
+   delivery is evidenced by channel configuration + incident dispatch and by
+   the recipient's mailbox.
+
+## Corrective actions
+
+| Action | Type | Status | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Only score terminal runs in `telemetry_completeness` | code + regression test | done (`2109310`) | primary operator |
+| Direct Cloud Logging emission for contract events | code + tests + env var on atlas-dev | done (`2109310`) | primary operator |
+| Grant `roles/bigquery.resourceViewer` to runtime SA for the cost check (403 found live) | IAM + bootstrap script update | done | primary operator |
+| Record Composer log-export defect as known platform limitation; re-test on next Composer build upgrade | documentation | done (this report; validation report) | primary operator |
+| Populate `completed_at`/`duration_ms` on FAILED task events | code | deferred to Sprint 6 | primary operator |
+
+## Speculation (explicitly labeled)
+
+The Composer log-export failure is deterministic across two environments and
+two days on `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`, while documentation states
+Gen 3 streams logs to Cloud Logging by default. It plausibly affects this
+very new build (released 2026-07-07) more broadly; we cannot verify Google's
+internal log-agent state from the customer project. This is speculation, not
+observation.

+# Atlas Lineage & Consumer Impact (Sprint 7)
+
+Lineage and consumer-impact analysis derived entirely from **repository
+artifacts** — no graph database, metadata service, or web UI (out of scope).
+
+## Sources of truth
+
+- dbt model SQL `ref()` / `source()` calls (the model DAG).
+- `governance/consumers.yml` (internal downstream consumers).
+- `governance/generated/catalog.json` (owners, contracts, runbooks).
+
+## Lineage
+
+```bash
+python -m atlas.governance.lineage --output governance/generated/lineage.json
+```
+
+Produces a machine-readable graph (`nodes` with `upstream`/`downstream`,
+`edge_count`). Current graph: 26 nodes / 29 edges, covering
+`atlas_raw.events → stg_events → int_event_classification →
+int_accepted_events → fct_events → {dim_users, mart_daily_event_metrics} →
+consumers`. `gate_lineage_impact` fails on drift or if the source→mart chain
+breaks.
+
+## Consumer impact
+
+```bash
+python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset fct_events \
+    --change governance/changes/CHG-....yml --output-dir /tmp/impact
+```
+
+Emits `impact.json` + `impact.md` with:
+
+1. source-to-mart position (upstream + downstream),
+2. direct downstream assets,
+3. transitive downstream assets,
+4. affected tests / property files,
+5. affected contracts (asset → contract_version),
+6. affected consumers and owners to notify,
+7. runbooks involved,
+8. (with `--change`) the change's compatibility class + whether approval is
+   present.
+
+### Example (fct_events)
+
+- Direct downstream: `mart_daily_event_metrics`, `warehouse_reconciliation`,
+  `atlas_observability_monitor`.
+- Transitive: adds `analytics_mart_readers`.
+- Owners to notify: `atlas-data-eng`, `atlas-analytics`.
+- Affected contracts: `fct_events 1.0`, `mart_daily_event_metrics 1.0`.
+
+## How it plugs into change management
+
+A BREAKING/CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE change record (ADR-017) must reference the
+impact report so reviewers see exactly which consumers require migration before
+approval. This is the "consumer-impact analysis" that PROHIBITED changes bypass.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- Consumers are limited to what `consumers.yml` declares — external or
+  undeclared consumers are not discovered.
+- Lineage covers known Atlas assets (dbt DAG + registered non-dbt assets); it is
+  not full warehouse-wide lineage.

+# Atlas Observability Runbook (Sprint 5)
+
+Operator procedures for every Atlas alert. Each alert policy links to its
+section anchor here. Shared context first, then one section per alert.
+
+Primary operator: the primary operator. Escalation: repository owner /
+designated reviewer (see `on-call-model-sprint5.md`).
+
+## The five questions, answered generically
+
+| Question | Where to look |
+|---|---|
+| Did the pipeline run? | `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` (latest row), dashboard top row |
+| Is the data correct? | `atlas_ops.quality_results` for the run's `pipeline_run_id` |
+| Who was alerted? | Cloud Monitoring incident → policy → channel "Atlas Primary Operator (email)" |
+| How is it recovered? | Per-alert section below; usually rerun via `scripts/run_airflow_sprint3.sh` or redeploy/rollback via Sprint 4 workflows |
+| How is recurrence prevented? | Convert the root cause into a regression test, alert change, or ADR amendment; record in the incident report |
+
+## Shared first moves (any Atlas incident)
+
+1. Open the **Atlas Operations** dashboard; the top row shows latest run,
+   freshness age, deployment state, and Composer health at a glance.
+2. Identify the run:
+
+```sql
+SELECT pipeline_run_id, batch_id, status, started_at, completed_at,
+       rows_loaded, rows_accepted, rows_rejected
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`
+ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+3. Pull correlated logs (Logs Explorer, bucket `atlas-observability`, view
+   `atlas-runtime`): `jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id="<id>"`. More filters in
+   `observability/queries/log-filters.md`.
+4. Preserve evidence **before** changing anything: incident ID, evaluation
+   rows, log query links, relevant audit rows.
+
+---
+
+## Alert: atlas pipeline failed
+
+- **Meaning**: latest `pipeline_runs` row is FAILED. Severity: critical.
+- **Likely causes**: dbt test failure (including deliberate injection), GCP
+  permission loss, BigQuery quota, task crash, upstream generation defect.
+- **First query**: shared query above; then task diagnosis:
+
+```sql
+SELECT task_id, attempt_number, event_type, status, error_type, error_message
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.task_events`
+WHERE pipeline_run_id = '<id>' ORDER BY task_id, attempt_number;
+```
+
+- **First log filter**: `jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id="<id>" severity>=ERROR`
+- **Containment**: nothing automatic mutates on failure; the DAG chain stops
+  before `publish_success_marker`. Do not delete data.
+- **Recovery**: fix the root cause, then rerun the batch
+  (`scripts/run_airflow_sprint3.sh` or Airflow UI trigger with the same
+  `batch_id` conf for an idempotent rerun — raw loading is create-only per
+  batch and dbt is batch-scoped).
+- **When NOT to rerun**: if the failure is in `validate_warehouse`
+  reconciliation, diagnose first — rerunning on top of inconsistent state
+  reproduces the failure and wastes evidence freshness.
+- **Backfill safety**: backfills are safe for past `processing_date`s
+  (Sprint 3 semantics); never backfill over a batch under investigation.
+- **Verification**: rerun reaches SUCCESS, `quality_results` all PASS,
+  incident auto-closes within ~40 min (next monitor cycle + auto-close).
+- **Prevention**: add the failure mode to dbt tests or warehouse checks.
+
+## Alert: atlas data stale
+
+- **Meaning**: age since last SUCCESS exceeded 50 h. Severity: critical.
+- **Likely causes**: DAG paused unintentionally, scheduler dead, repeated
+  run failures (check the pipeline-failed alert first), Composer deleted
+  without disabling monitoring.
+- **First query**: freshness evaluation history:
+
+```sql
+SELECT evaluated_at, status, observed_value, threshold
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.monitor_evaluations`
+WHERE check_name = 'freshness' ORDER BY evaluated_at DESC LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+- **First log filter**: `resource.type="cloud_composer_environment" log_id("airflow-scheduler") severity>=ERROR`
+- **Containment/recovery**: unpause the DAG or trigger a manual run; if the
+  environment was intentionally torn down, set `monitoring_enabled: false`
+  and disable this policy instead of chasing a ghost.
+- **Verification**: next monitor cycle publishes PASS; incident closes.
+- **Prevention**: the teardown checklist (Phase 15) disables absence-prone
+  alerts before deletion.
+
+## Alert: atlas reconciliation failed
+
+- **Meaning**: FAIL rows exist in `quality_results` for the latest run.
+- **Likely causes**: duplicate loads, dbt model regression, partial batch,
+  manual mutation of warehouse tables.
+- **First query**:
+
+```sql
+SELECT check_name, status, observed_value, expected_value, details_json
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.quality_results`
+WHERE pipeline_run_id = '<id>' AND status = 'FAIL';
+```
+
+- **Audit tables**: `quality_results`, then the specific warehouse tables
+  named by the failing check.
+- **Recovery**: never edit warehouse rows by hand. Fix the transformation
+  and rerun the batch; dbt rebuilds are idempotent per batch.
+- **When a backfill is safe**: only after the failing check passes on a
+  fresh run of the current release.
+- **Prevention**: promote the broken invariant into a dbt test.
+
+## Alert: atlas volume deviation
+
+- **Meaning**: latest raw rows deviate ≥ 80 % from the 7-run baseline.
+- **Likely causes**: generator config change, truncated upload, duplicate
+  batch, intentional batch-size change without threshold retuning.
+- **First query**: `SELECT rows_loaded FROM ... pipeline_runs ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT 8;`
+- **Recovery**: if the change is legitimate, update `volume` thresholds in
+  `config/observability.yaml` with the new baseline (documented commit); if
+  not, treat as a pipeline defect and rerun after diagnosis.
+- **Prevention**: batch-size changes must land with a threshold update.
+
+## Alert: atlas schema drift
+
+- **Meaning**: live INFORMATION_SCHEMA diverges from the governed manifest
+  with a BREAKING classification (removed/renamed field, type change,
+  required-field loss, partition change).
+- **First command**: `PYTHONPATH=src python -m atlas.observability.schema_drift --check`
+- **Audit tables**: `schema_migrations` (was there an unrecorded change?).
+- **Containment**: stop deployments (`atlas-deploy` workflow) until resolved.
+- **Recovery**: restore the contract via an additive migration, or — for an
+  approved intentional change — regenerate the manifest
+  (`--generate`, review, commit) and ship it with the migration.
+- **When not to rerun**: pipeline reruns cannot fix schema drift; do not
+  rerun to "see if it clears".
+- **Prevention**: schema changes only via the migration ledger + manifest
+  regeneration in the same PR (CI gate checks the manifest parses).
+
+## Alert: atlas deployment failed
+
+- **Meaning**: latest `deployments` row is FAILED/ROLLBACK_FAILED.
+- **First query**:
+
+```sql
+SELECT deployment_id, status, failure_stage, error_summary, git_sha
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.deployments`
+ORDER BY started_at DESC LIMIT 3;
+```
+
+- **First log filter**: `jsonPayload.deployment_id="<id>"`
+- **Recovery**: per Sprint 4 runbook (`ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md`) —
+  `failure_stage` names the failed stage; fix and redeploy, or roll back to
+  the previous validated release (`scripts/rollback_atlas.sh`).
+- **Evidence**: keep the FAILED row and workflow logs; they are the audit.
+
+## Alert: atlas rollback failed
+
+- **Meaning**: ROLLBACK_FAILED — the safety net itself failed. Severity:
+  critical, highest urgency.
+- **First moves**: same queries as deployment failed; additionally verify
+  what is actually running: `data/current/release-manifest.json`
+  in the Composer bucket vs `atlas_ops.deployments`.
+- **Containment**: freeze all deployment activity; the environment state is
+  now unverified.
+- **Recovery**: manual re-promotion of the last SUCCESS release bundle
+  (verify checksums first via `lib_atlas_deploy.sh` helpers), then a manual
+  smoke batch, then a corrected `deployments` record.
+- **Escalation**: this is the one alert where the escalation contact should
+  be engaged immediately if the first recovery attempt fails.
+
+## Alert: atlas composer unhealthy
+
+- **Meaning**: native `environment/healthy` fraction < 0.5 for 15 min.
+- **Likely causes**: scheduler crash-loop, worker OOM, GKE node pressure,
+  or (expected) creation/deletion transitions.
+- **First look**: Composer environment page; then
+  `resource.type="cloud_composer_environment" severity>=ERROR` logs.
+- **Containment**: do not deploy onto an unhealthy environment.
+- **Recovery**: Composer 3 self-heals most component failures; if unhealthy
+  persists > 1 h, capture logs and recreate the ephemeral environment
+  (`scripts/manage_atlas_composer.sh`).
+- **Teardown note**: DISABLE this policy before intentional deletion.
+
+## Alert: atlas cost anomaly
+
+- **Meaning**: Atlas-attributed bytes billed in 24 h ≥ 10× the 7-day daily
+  baseline and above the 1 GiB floor. Severity: warning.
+- **First query**: `observability/queries/bigquery_cost.sql` queries 1, 4,
+  and 5 (daily usage, by component, expensive jobs).
+- **Likely causes**: unbounded monitor query regression, repeated backfills,
+  a new query pattern missing partition filters.
+- **Containment**: pause the offending component (monitor DAG or pipeline)
+  if a runaway query loop is confirmed.
+- **Recovery**: fix the query pattern; verify the next window's bytes fall
+  back under threshold.
+- **Never**: run a large query "to test" this alert — use
+  `manage_atlas_alerts.sh test cost_anomaly` (synthetic signal).
+
+## Alert: atlas telemetry incomplete
+
+- **Meaning**: expected tasks lack terminal `task_events` rows for the
+  latest run — observability is degraded even though the data may be fine.
+- **First query**: the completeness SQL in
+  `observability/queries/log-filters.md` §8.
+- **First log filter**: `jsonPayload.event_type="task_telemetry_write_failed"`
+- **Likely causes**: BigQuery audit-write outage, IAM regression on the
+  runtime SA, a task crash before the telemetry wrapper ran, or runs
+  predating Sprint 5 telemetry.
+- **Recovery**: fix the write path; telemetry backfills automatically on the
+  next run (per-run grain). Do not fabricate historical task events.
+- **Important**: data correctness is judged by `quality_results`, not by
+  telemetry presence — check reconciliation before treating this as a data
+  incident.

+# Atlas On-Call and Ownership Model (Sprint 5)
+
+This is a development-project ownership model, not an organizational on-call
+rotation. No 24/7 coverage, paging SLA, or follow-the-sun handoff is claimed.
+
+## Ownership
+
+| Role | Who | Responsibilities |
+|---|---|---|
+| Primary operator | the primary operator | Receives all alert emails (verified channel), acknowledges incidents, executes runbooks, owns incident reports |
+| Escalation | Repository owner / designated reviewer | Engaged when the first recovery attempt fails, for `rollback failed` incidents immediately, and for any IAM or destructive decision |
+| External escalation | none configured | Only when an approved real recipient/integration is added (PagerDuty/Slack are out of Sprint 5 scope) |
+
+## Response expectations (development-grade)
+
+- Alerts route to one verified email channel; response happens on a
+  best-effort basis during active development windows.
+- Critical incidents (`pipeline failed`, `reconciliation failed`,
+  `rollback failed`, `breaking schema drift`) take priority over feature
+  work when the environment is active.
+- Between acceptance windows the Composer environment is intentionally
+  deleted and `monitoring_enabled: false`; no alert response is expected and
+  absence-prone policies are disabled per the teardown checklist.
+
+## Escalation triggers
+
+1. First recovery attempt failed or the runbook does not match reality.
+2. Any `rollback failed` incident (immediately).
+3. Suspected credential exposure or IAM regression (also see
+   `security-review-sprint5.md`).
+4. Any action that would delete data, move release tags, or reverse a
+   migration — these always require explicit human approval.
+
+## Incident lifecycle
+
+detect (Cloud Monitoring incident) → acknowledge (email received, incident
+noted) → diagnose (runbook first-moves) → contain → recover → verify
+(monitor cycle returns PASS, incident closes) → document (incident report
+with observation/inference/speculation separated) → prevent (regression
+test, alert change, ADR amendment, or runbook fix — every meaningful defect
+becomes a reusable control).
+
+## SLO and error-budget candidates (recorded, not committed)
+
+These are candidates for a future production posture, backed only by the
+current synthetic workload:
+
+- Pipeline success rate per 30-day window (candidate SLO 99 %).
+- Freshness: successful batch within 26 h (warn) / 50 h (fail).
+- Deployment success rate and rollback MTTR.
+
+They remain "initial operational thresholds" (see `config/observability.yaml`)
+until real usage exists.

+# Atlas BigQuery Performance Review (Sprint 7)
+
+Measured before optimizing. Methodology and controls in ADR-020. The suite is
+`scripts/run_performance_suite.sh` over `observability/performance/queries/`.
+
+## Methodology
+
+- **Dry-run first** (bills $0) for every representative query → bytes processed.
+- **Bounded execution** (gated) under a per-query `maximum_bytes_billed` ceiling
+  (1 GiB) and a cumulative suite ceiling (5 GiB), with run labels
+  (`atlas_component=perf_suite`), capturing bytes billed, slot-ms, elapsed,
+  output rows, cache-hit, and a correctness checksum.
+- Correctness verified via row-count/aggregate checksums before and after any
+  change.
+
+## Dry-run baseline (live, 2026-07-19, $0)
+
+`observability/performance/results/baseline-dryrun.json`:
+
+| # | Query | Bytes processed (est.) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | raw batch lookup (partition filter) | 2,315,824 |
+| 2 | batch classification (1 partition) | 745,937 |
+| 3 | accepted/rejected reconciliation | 795,136 |
+| 4 | fact build scan (3-day window) | 2,255,810 |
+| 5 | mart aggregation (monthly) | 44,864 |
+| 6 | freshness | 4,700,784 |
+| 7 | operational audit | 216 |
+| 8 | cost monitor (INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS, 7d) | 34,428,633 |
+| 9 | lineage/schema metadata | 10,485,760 |
+
+All queries are far below the 1 GiB per-query ceiling.
+
+## Partition pruning evidence
+
+- Bounded raw lookup (`where event_date = …`): **2,315,824 bytes**.
+- Unbounded full scan of the same table (no partition filter): **12,659,283
+  bytes** (dry-run).
+
+The bounded query scans ~18% of the unbounded scan → **partition pruning is
+working** on `atlas_raw.events` (partitioned by `event_date`). `fct_events` is
+likewise partitioned by `event_date` and clustered by `event_name,
+country_code`, exercised by query 4.
+
+## Performance changes applied (Phase 11)
+
+**None warranted — evidence-backed "no material change" result.** The warehouse
+is already partitioned + clustered, all representative queries are bounded and
+inexpensive at this scale (~50k rows/batch), and correctness is preserved. The
+highest-leverage improvement is *preventing regressions*, which Sprint 7 adds as
+the required-partition-filter cost guard rather than a table redesign. Per
+ADR-020, we do not optimize merely to produce a percentage.
+
+Comparisons considered and their verdicts (from the baseline evidence):
+
+| Comparison | Verdict |
+| --- | --- |
+| partitioned vs unbounded raw scan | partitioned wins (2.3 MB vs 12.7 MB) — keep + enforce filter |
+| clustered fact scan (query 4) | already clustered; bounded window is cheap |
+| mart (table) vs recompute from fact | mart is tiny (44 KB read) — keep materialized |
+| INFORMATION_SCHEMA cost monitor | bounded to 7 days — acceptable |
+
+## Blocked completion gate
+
+- **Gate:** full **executed** metrics (bytes billed, slot-ms, elapsed) via
+  `run_performance_suite.sh --execute`.
+- **Blocking approval:** `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS=true` (+ optional
+  `ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES`) — not set in this environment.
+- **Status:** dry-run baseline (bytes processed) is complete and is sufficient
+  to conclude no optimization is warranted; executed slot/elapsed metrics are
+  pending approval. The suite runner is ready and enforces the byte ceilings.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- ~50k rows/batch: these are engineering demonstrations, not production-scale
+  benchmarks. No production-scale performance is claimed.

+| Component | Version | Notes |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| Airflow core | 3.1.7 | Composer-parity pin |
+| Google provider | 20.0.0 | Composer-parity pin |
+| Standard provider | 1.12.1 | Composer-parity pin |
+| Composer image | `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12` | Verified 2026-07-14 |

+
+Results: no tracked private keys or service account JSON files. `.env`, `.gcp/`, and
+`credentials/` remain gitignored.
+
+## CLI inventory

+| `run_atlas_step.sh` | Dispatcher for all steps with structured context logs |
+| `run_airflow_sprint3.sh` | Trigger and poll DAG runs |
+
+## Reusable interfaces
+
+- `atlas.batch.context` — batch and pipeline run identity
+- `atlas.batch.manifest` — artifact checksums and idempotent reuse
+- `atlas.ops.resources` — `atlas_ops` DDL
+- `atlas.ops.audit` — MERGE upsert audit rows
+- `atlas.loader.bigquery` — batch-scoped load idempotency
+- `atlas.validation.checks` — run-scoped and batch-scoped validation
+
+## Idempotency gaps addressed in Sprint 3
+
+| Layer | Sprint 1/2 gap | Sprint 3 behavior |
+|-------|----------------|-------------------|
+| Generator | Wall-clock dates | Processing-date-based generation with manifest reuse |
+| GCS | run_id paths only | `batch_id=` paths with checksum metadata |
+| Raw load | pipeline_run_id skip | batch_id count evaluation (0/load, exact/skip, partial-fail, excess-fail) |
+| dbt | run_id tests only | batch_id lineage + scoped reconciliation |
+| Audit | None | `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` one row per execution |
+
+## Composer deployment contract
+
+| Asset | Local path | Composer path |

+# Sprint 4 Preflight Report — CI/CD, Secure GCP Delivery, Composer, Rollback
+
+Compiled 2026-07-18 (updated as delivery progressed). All facts below were
+verified against the live repository and GCP project, not assumed.
+
+## Repository
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Repository | `YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY` (private) |
+| Baseline main SHA (Sprint 3) | `8aa1d7a1849d4226e30b367ae490dcf1df936f9a` — verified |
+| Sprint tags | `atlas-sprint-1-complete`, `atlas-sprint-2-complete`, `atlas-sprint-3-complete` (→ `8aa1d7a`, added during Sprint 4 hygiene) |
+| Sprint 4 PRs | #14 (Phases 0–3, merged as squash `21d54ed`), #15 (Phase 16 gate demos, closed by design), #16 (delivery continuation, this branch) |
+| Pre-existing workflows | none for Atlas before Sprint 4; `atlas-ci.yml` added in PR #14 |
+| Branch protection | **not readable/writable** — `gh api .../branches/main/protection` returns 403 on the current plan |
+| GitHub plan | Free. Required reviewers on Environments and branch protection API are unavailable for private repos → governance fallback documented in ADR-010 and `ci-cd-governance-sprint4.md` |
+
+## Validation toolchain (verified versions)
+
+| Tool | Version |
+|---|---|
+| Python | 3.12.3 |
+| uv | 0.11.29 |
+| dbt-core / dbt-bigquery | 1.11.12 / 1.11.3 (pinned; 1.12 deliberately not adopted) |
+| Apache Airflow | 3.1.7 + providers google 20.0.0, standard 1.12.1 |
+| gcloud SDK | 576.0.0 (bq 2.1.34) |
+| ruff / mypy / yamllint / shellcheck-py / pytest | pinned in `requirements-ci.txt` |
+
+## GCP state
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Project | `example-gcp-project` (number `123456789012`) |
+| Agent identity | `service1-831@example-gcp-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com` (project Owner — can create IAM/WIF/Composer; used only from the Cursor environment) |
+| BigQuery datasets | `atlas_raw`, `atlas_{staging,intermediate,core,marts,quarantine}`, `atlas_ops` — location US |
+| Buckets (pre-Sprint 4) | `atlas-raw-events-example-gcp-project` (no uniform bucket-level access — cannot carry IAM conditions) |
+| Buckets (created Sprint 4) | `atlas-deployments-…` (versioned, uniform), `atlas-ci-…` (uniform, 7-day TTL) |
+| Composer environments | none before Sprint 4; `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12` (ADR-005 target) no longer offered — owner approved `build.13` |
+| WIF pools before Sprint 4 | none |
+
+## Security preflight
+
+- Tracked-file credential scan: clean (gate `secret_scan` in `validate_ci.sh`).
+- Untracked scan: agent ADC material lives outside the repo (`/tmp`); nothing
+  under `` matches key patterns.
+- No long-lived GitHub Actions secrets exist; PR CI is credentialless and the
+  WIF design (ADR-009) keeps it that way.
+- Workflow permissions: all Atlas workflows declare least privilege
+  (`contents: read`, plus `id-token: write` only for trusted WIF jobs).
+
+## Cost review
+
+- Composer 3 small: ≈ USD 0.35–0.50/hour while running (~USD 300/month if left
+  alive). Owner decision: **hard no** on persistent environments — create for
+  evidence capture, then delete (`manage_atlas_composer.sh delete`, ADR-010).
+- Integration tests: ephemeral `atlas_ci_<run>` datasets + CI bucket objects
+  (auto-TTL 7 days); per-run BigQuery cost is cents (50k-row batches).
+- Deployment bundles: single-digit MB per release in GCS — negligible.
+- Scale-to-zero: everything except retained BigQuery datasets and GCS bundles.
+
+## Approval variables (owner grants on record)
+
+| Variable | State |
+|---|---|
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION` | granted ("Build is approved") |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM` | granted ("IAM is approved at every stage") |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_COMPOSER_CREATE` | granted for ephemeral evidence capture only |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_DEPLOY` | granted |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_ROLLBACK_TEST` | granted (rollback is a required completion gate) |
+
+## Code interfaces (as found at Sprint 3 baseline)
+
+- CI/test entry points: fragmented (`test_airflow_sprint3.sh` suppressed
+  failures with `|| true`; `run_airflow_sprint3.sh` did not poll;
+  `validate_warehouse` was a hardcoded PASS) — all fixed in Phase 1 with
+  regression tests.
+- No deploy scripts, no migration ledger, no deployment audit — built in
+  Phases 8–11.
+- dbt targets: `atlas*` datasets via `ATLAS_DBT_DATASET`; raw via
+  `ATLAS_BQ_DATASET` (env override added to `settings.py` in Phase 7 so
+  isolation requires no parallel code path).
+- Composer path mapping (ADR-005, implemented Phase 12): DAGs →
+  `<composer-bucket>/dags/project_atlas/`, runtime →
+  `<composer-bucket>/data/current/`, immutable releases →
+  `gs://atlas-deployments-…/atlas/releases/<git_sha>/`.
+- Rollback limitation: BigQuery schema migrations are additive-only and never
+  auto-reversed; runtime rollback requires manifest schema compatibility
+  (ADR-010).

+# Sprint 5 Preflight — Observability, Alerting, and Incident Readiness
+
+Inspection completed 2026-07-19 ~02:45 UTC, before any Sprint 5 resource
+creation. Every fact below was verified live against the repository, GitHub,
+and GCP project `example-gcp-project`.
+
+## 1. Git and release state
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| PR #18 | verified (docs-only: `README.md`, `validation-report-sprint4.md`), marked ready, **squash-merged** as `45543b6` under `ATLAS_APPROVE_PR18_MERGE` |
+| Current `origin/main` | `45543b6` (clean tree) |
+| Sprint tags | 1: `270e7d5` · 2: `5135778` · 3: `8aa1d7a` · 4: **`b609ac1`** (verified resolves to PR #17 merge commit) |
+| Sprint 5 branch | `cursor/atlas-sprint-5-observability-64a2` from `45543b6` |
+| Open Atlas PRs | none (PRs #2, #3, #6 are unrelated pre-Atlas scaffolding) |
+| CI | `atlas-ci.yml` green on last code merge; PR #18 was docs-only (path-filtered, no checks — expected) |
+
+## 2. Current observability inventory (repository)
+
+| Asset | State |
+|---|---|
+| `src/atlas/logging/structured.py` | JSON formatter + `StepLogger` context manager; writes local JSONL per run; fields are ad-hoc per call site, no enforced contract, no correlation hierarchy |
+| `dags/atlas_orchestration/callbacks.py` | `on_retry_callback` / `on_failure_callback` print structured JSON to task stdout; nothing durable |
+| Run summary | `write_run_summary` task writes local `run-summary.json` + finalizes `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` (MERGE, sanitized errors) |
+| `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` | run grain; has rows_generated/loaded/accepted/rejected, fact_rows, mart_event_count, failed_task_id, error fields — good base for freshness/volume monitors |
+| `atlas_ops.deployments` | attempt grain with failure_stage; 9 Sprint 4 rows |
+| `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` | ledger; 3 APPLIED |
+| Task-attempt audit | **does not exist** (no task_events table) |
+| Quality results | **not durable** — warehouse reconciliation prints PASS/FAIL JSON only |
+| `src/atlas/validation/warehouse.py` | 10 batch-scoped checks returning `WarehouseReport` — ready to persist into `quality_results` |
+
+## 3. Current GCP observability state (all clean slate)
+
+| Surface | Finding |
+|---|---|
+| Log buckets | only `_Default` (30 d) and `_Required` (400 d); **no analytics enabled**, no custom buckets/views |
+| Sinks | only `_Default`/`_Required`; no exclusions beyond defaults |
+| Log-based metrics | none |
+| Custom metric descriptors (`custom.googleapis.com/*`) | none |
+| Alert policies | none |
+| Notification channels | **none** — a verified recipient is a hard prerequisite for Phase 11 (see Blockers) |
+| Dashboards | none |
+| Logging IAM | no explicit Logging/Monitoring grants; agent SA `service1-831@…` is project **Owner** (pre-existing); Composer service agent has `composer.serviceAgent` + `ServiceAgentV2Ext` |
+
+## 4. The Sprint 4 missing-logs defect — preflight diagnosis
+
+Verified facts for the acceptance window (2026-07-18 22:00 → 07-19 01:40 UTC):
+
+- Project-wide sweep by `resource.type`: **only** BigQuery/GCS/IAM audit
+  entries plus 2 Composer admin-audit entries. Zero `airflow-worker`,
+  `airflow-scheduler`, `dag-processor`, or task-log entries exist anywhere,
+  including the `_AllLogs` view. The Sprint 4 filters were **correct**; the
+  logs genuinely never reached Cloud Logging.
+- Ingestion itself works: a `gcloud logging write` roundtrip during Sprint 4
+  succeeded and that entry is still the only non-audit log in the project.
+- Not an obvious IAM gap: `atlas-composer-runtime` holds `composer.worker`
+  (includes `logging.logEntries.create`); Composer service agents hold
+  required roles; Logging API enabled; `_Default` sink filter is standard.
+- Task logs were also absent from the environment bucket (Composer 3 default
+  is Cloud Logging only), so Sprint 4 diagnosis fell back to the Airflow
+  REST API — which worked and remains the documented fallback.
+
+Remaining hypotheses require a live environment (Phase 15): environment
+`dataRetentionConfig.taskLogsRetentionConfig.storageMode` (not set explicitly
+in Sprint 4), or a Composer 3 log-routing fault in the tenant→customer
+stream. Resolution plan: recreate `atlas-dev`, use the built-in
+`airflow_monitoring` DAG (runs every ~5 min) as a log canary, verify entries
+with documented filters within 15 minutes of creation, and treat
+`storageMode` explicitly at create time. This diagnosis gates every
+log-dependent Sprint 5 deliverable and is therefore step 1 of live acceptance.
+
+## 5. Composer
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `atlas-dev` exists now | no (deleted post-Sprint 4 per ADR-010; bucket also removed) |
+| Image availability | `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13` **still available** in us-central1 (verified via imageVersions API; 5 versions listed) |
+| Recreate config | small / us-central1 / runtime SA `atlas-composer-runtime` / env vars per `manage_atlas_composer.sh` (unchanged interface) |
+| Sprint 4 lifecycle evidence | created ~22:05 UTC, deleted ~01:35 UTC (~3.5 h) |
+
+## 6. Security preflight
+
+- No secrets found in the sampled Sprint 4 logs (there were almost no logs).
+- `sanitize_error_message` exists and is regression-tested (Sprint 4 D4).
+- Redaction gaps to close in Phase 2: the structured-logging contract must
+  enforce sanitization centrally, not per call site.
+- Linked BigQuery log dataset expands the log-read boundary to BigQuery IAM —
+  will be documented; dataset kept read-only; no broad `logging.privateLogViewer`.
+- Sink writer identity: service account auto-created per sink; needs only
+  `logging.bucketWriter` on the destination bucket (same-project routing is
+  automatic).
+- CI stays credentialless; WIF identities unchanged; no new broad grants
+  planned. IAM additions (if any) gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`.
+
+## 7. Cost preflight
+
+| Item | Measurement / projection |
+|---|---|
+| Current log ingestion | ~0 (only audit logs; free allotment 50 GiB/mo far above need) |
+| Projected Atlas log volume | MB/day scale at 50k-row batches — negligible; retention proposal: 30 d for `atlas-observability` bucket (matches `_Default`, justified by synthetic workload) |
+| Custom metrics | ~15 descriptors, labels bounded to {environment, dag_id, task_id, component, status, check_name, severity}; projected < 200 time series total — far below chargeable tiers |
+| BigQuery 7-day baseline | 2,696 jobs, 10.61 GB processed, 22.70 GB billed (min-billing inflation on many small jobs — the dominant Atlas cost signal) |
+| Monitor DAG cadence | 30 min while Composer live (bounded windows; each evaluation scans MB) |
+| Composer live-acceptance window | small env ≈ $0.75–1.00/h; target < 5 h; teardown gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN` |
+| Permanent after teardown | log bucket/view/sink, linked dataset, metric descriptors, dashboards, alert policies, `atlas_ops` tables — all ~zero at rest |
+
+## 8. Data baselines (from `atlas_ops`, live-queried)
+
+| Signal | Baseline |
+|---|---|
+| Successful runs | 9 (avg duration **171 s**, all 50,000 rows loaded) |
+| Failed runs | 7 (avg 76 s to failure) |
+| Rejection rate | **1.79 %** avg (rollback smoke: 49,105 accepted + 895 rejected = 50,000) |
+| Last success | 2026-07-19 01:21:56 UTC (`atlas-smoke-640cd786-local1784423774-run`) |
+| Schedule | manual/smoke-triggered today; `@daily` when deployed unpaused |
+| Deployment duration | ~10–15 min end-to-end (fetch→smoke) per Sprint 4 evidence |
+| Schema signatures | 8 datasets; contracts in repo (`sql/`, dbt models) — manifest source for Phase 9 |
+
+Initial thresholds derived from these (labeled operational, not SLOs):
+freshness warn 26 h / fail 30 h (daily schedule + slack); volume warn ±20 % /
+fail ±50 % vs trailing-window median; rejection warn > 5 % / fail > 10 %;
+cost warn/fail vs 7-day trailing bytes-billed median.
+
+## 9. Blockers and approvals
+
+| Gate | State |
+|---|---|
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PR18_MERGE` | exercised — PR #18 merged, main verified |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION` / `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM` | assumed per Sprint 4 precedent ("IAM approved at every stage"); mutations remain plan-first |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_COMPOSER_CREATE` | required before Phase 15 recreation (cost above) |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_ALERT_CHANNEL` + **recipient** | **RESOLVED** — owner supplied the alert email in-session; email notification channel created: `projects/example-gcp-project/notificationChannels/6567861337166986657` ("Atlas Primary Operator (email)", enabled, recipient category: repository owner / primary operator). The address itself is intentionally not committed to Git |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_LIVE_DRILLS` / `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN` | required at Phases 16 / 15.9 |
+
+## 10. Implementation sequence
+
+1. **Phase 1–2** — architecture doc + ADR-011; structured logging contract
+   (`src/atlas/observability/logging.py`) with correlation hierarchy,
+   redaction, truncation, and contract tests. Wire step runner, DAG
+   callbacks, and deploy scripts to it.
+2. **Phase 3–4** — migrations 004/005/006 (`task_events`, `quality_results`,
+   `monitor_evaluations`) + `atlas.ops.task_events`, `atlas.ops.quality_results`;
+   Airflow callback instrumentation; warehouse reconciliation persists results;
+   unit tests for every event path.
+3. **Phase 5** — `bootstrap_observability.sh` (--plan/--apply/--status):
+   `atlas-observability` analytics log bucket (30 d), `atlas-runtime` view,
+   Atlas sink filter, linked `atlas_logs` dataset; saved queries in
+   `observability/queries/`.
+4. **Phase 6–7** — metric descriptors + publisher (`atlas.observability.metrics`),
+   cardinality budget; BigQuery job labels in Python paths; dbt job-label
+   config verified against dbt-bigquery 1.11 docs (fallback: identity-based
+   attribution); `bigquery_cost.sql`; ADR-012.
+5. **Phase 8–9** — `atlas_observability_monitor` DAG (30-min, read-only,
+   bounded windows, no-data semantics, drill overrides via
+   `config/observability.yaml`); schema-drift monitor with fixture-based
+   classification tests.
+6. **Phase 10–12** — alert policy JSONs + `manage_atlas_alerts.sh`;
+   notification channel wiring (blocked pending recipient); dashboard JSON +
+   idempotent deploy.
+7. **Phase 13–14** — runbook, alert catalog, on-call model; CI gates for all
+   observability artifacts; deployment bundle extended with monitor DAG +
+   observability modules + migrations.
+8. **Phase 15–17 (live)** — recreate Composer (approval), deploy candidate,
+   **resolve the missing-logs defect first**, healthy 50k batch (Drill A),
+   then Drills B–G, incident report from Drill B, teardown (approval).
+9. **Phase 18–20** — cost review, security review, validation report, README
+   and catalog updates; final CI; merge; `atlas-sprint-5-complete`.
+
+Static work (steps 1–7) proceeds immediately; cloud mutations stop at their
+approval gates with exact plans.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Preflight — Resilience, Failure Engineering, Recovery, Game Days
+
+Captured live on 2026-07-19 (UTC) before any Sprint 6 implementation or fault
+injection. Every fact below was verified against the repository or the GCP
+project `example-gcp-project`, not assumed from the execution prompt.
+
+## 1. Git and release state
+
+| Item | Verified value |
+| --- | --- |
+| origin/main | `078bc319c6683717e6583b4500af60b4dd3e168a` (matches prompt baseline) |
+| Working tree | clean (`git status --porcelain` empty) |
+| Sprint 6 branch | `cursor/atlas-sprint-6-resilience-64a2` (created from main; no other Sprint 6 branches or PRs exist) |
+| Latest CI on main | run `29687038169` — atlas-ci **success** on Sprint 5 release commit `476e20a` |
+| `atlas-sprint-1-complete` | `49a5fac` → `270e7d5` |

+| Open PRs | #2, #3, #6 only — pre-Atlas scaffold, unrelated; no overlapping Atlas work |
+
+## 2. GCP state
+
+Active principal: `service1-831@example-gcp-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com`
+(Cursor agent SA). Project: `example-gcp-project`.
+
+### Composer
+Absent, as expected (Sprint 5 ephemeral teardown 2026-07-19T07:37:56Z). No
+orphaned Composer buckets. Environment-dependent alerts were intentionally
+disabled before teardown and remain disabled — no false incidents.
+
+### BigQuery datasets
+`atlas_raw`, `atlas_staging`, `atlas_intermediate`, `atlas_quarantine`,
+`atlas_core`, `atlas_marts`, `atlas_dbt_staging`, `atlas_ops`, `atlas_logs`
+(linked, read-only).
+
+### atlas_ops tables
+`pipeline_runs`, `deployments`, `schema_migrations` (6 APPLIED),
+`task_events` (176 rows), `quality_results` (60 rows),
+`monitor_evaluations` (91 rows). Migration 007 (`recovery_actions`) is the
+next free slot.
+
+### GCS
+`atlas-raw-events-…` (canonical raw), `atlas-deployments-…` (immutable
+releases), `atlas-ci-…` (ephemeral CI).
+
+### Logging (permanent, verified live)
+Sink `atlas-observability-sink` → bucket `atlas-observability`
+(us-central1, 30-day retention, analytics enabled), view `atlas-runtime`,
+linked dataset `atlas_logs` queryable.
+
+### Monitoring (permanent, verified live)
+Dashboard `Atlas Operations` (`a4f0a238-90b5-445b-925e-d0922d343c2b`).
+Notification channel `Atlas Primary Operator (email)`
+(`6567861337166986657`). Ten alert policies present:
+
+| Policy | Enabled |
+| --- | --- |
+| Atlas: pipeline failed | true |
+| Atlas: data stale | **false** (disabled for teardown — re-enable with Composer) |
+| Atlas: reconciliation failed | true |
+| Atlas: critical volume deviation | true |
+| Atlas: breaking schema drift | true |
+| Atlas: deployment failed | true |
+| Atlas: rollback failed | true |
+| Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy | **false** (disabled for teardown — re-enable with Composer) |
+| Atlas: BigQuery cost anomaly | true |
+| Atlas: telemetry incomplete | true |
+
+No open incidents; no `AlertPolicyViolation` entries since teardown.
+
+### WIF / service accounts
+Pool `atlas-github-pool` ACTIVE. SAs: `atlas-composer-runtime`,
+`atlas-github-deployer`, `atlas-github-integration` (see §5 IAM table).
+
+## 3. Baseline data (latest healthy state)
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Latest successful run | `atlas-drillb-20260719-recovery-run` (batch `atlas-drillb-20260719`), SUCCESS 06:58:00Z |
+| Raw rows | 50,000 |
+| Accepted / fact rows | 49,105 |
+| Rejected | 895 (rate 0.0179) |
+| Mart total events | 343,738 (reconciles) |
+| Quality checks on latest run | 10/10 PASS |
+| Latest deployment | `atlas-dev-20260719T061802Z-2109310b` SUCCESS (sha `2109310b`) |
+| Latest FAILED deployment (expected, drill) | `atlas-dev-20260719T042523Z-8fe17dcd` |
+| Migrations applied | 001–006 |
+| Success marker | present for latest batch (verified during Sprint 5 acceptance) |
+| Schema signatures | `observability/schema/expected-schemas.json` matches live tables (schema-drift monitor last evaluated PASS) |
+
+## 4. Known limitations carried into Sprint 6
+
+1. **Raw Airflow stdout**: Composer 3 `build.13` platform log-export defect;
+   Atlas telemetry is mirrored directly via `ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true`
+   (`atlas-events` log). Phase 1 will re-test on the currently available image.
+2. **Failed-task timing**: two `FAILED` task_events rows
+   (`atlas-drillb-20260719-run`: `dbt_build`, `write_run_summary`) have NULL
+   `started_at`/`completed_at`/`duration_ms` — the exact Phase 1 cleanup target.
+   The failure-callback path records the terminal event without the timing that
+   the success path gets from the runner wrapper.
+3. **Email delivery latency**: notification evidence relies on operator
+   confirmation (user confirmed receipt during Sprint 5); no programmatic
+   mailbox access.
+4. **Thresholds are synthetic-workload initial values**, not production SLOs.
+5. **Single-operator model** (the primary operator primary; repo owner escalation).
+6. **Cost attribution boundary**: job labels + runtime identity; dbt child jobs
+   labeled via `query-comment`/`job-label`; console-issued ad-hoc queries are
+   outside attribution.
+
+## 5. Security / IAM snapshot (before any Sprint 6 change)
+
+| Principal | Roles (project level) |
+| --- | --- |
+| `atlas-composer-runtime@…` | `composer.worker`, `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `bigquery.resourceViewer` |
+| `atlas-github-deployer@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `composer.user`, `composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` |
+| `atlas-github-integration@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor` |
+
+- Secret scanning: enforced by `validate_ci.sh` gate (green on main).
+- Fault-injection leak risk: scenarios must reuse the Sprint 5 sanitization
+  (`error_message` redaction/truncation); no scenario may echo credentials,
+  tokens, or raw payloads. Enforced by framework tests.
+- Test-resource blast radius: all destructive scenarios use isolated batch IDs
+  (`atlas-s6-*` prefix), isolated datasets/tables/prefixes, never canonical
+  batches; the framework will refuse canonical batch IDs by construction.
+- IAM scenarios (S6-IAM-*) remove exactly one role from one member, capture
+  before/after policy, and restore the identical binding.
+
+## 6. Cost plan
+
+| Item | Estimate |
+| --- | --- |
+| Composer SMALL (us-central1) | ≈ $0.60–0.75/h; Sprint 5 window (3.9 h) cost ≈ $2.50 |
+| Sprint 6 live window target | ≤ 12 h Composer runtime (five game days batched into one window), ceiling ≈ $9 |
+| BigQuery | synthetic 50k-row batches ≈ MBs per query; cost drills use dry-run / `maximum_bytes_billed` only — no intentional spend |
+| Logging/metrics | within Sprint 5 free-tier envelope (≈ 40 MB/day peak measured) |
+| Teardown | Composer + drill fixtures deleted under `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`; permanent observability plane retained |
+
+Maximum allowed live test duration: one Composer window ≤ 12 h; every scenario
+carries `maximum_duration` and `maximum_cost` in `config/failure_scenarios.yaml`.
+
+## 7. Approvals
+
+Per the sprint owner's standing decisions (ephemeral Composer approved, IAM
+approved at every stage, builds approved) the Sprint 6 approval set
+(`ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION/IAM/COMPOSER_CREATE/FAILURE_INJECTION/`
+`DESTRUCTIVE_FIXTURE/DEPLOY/ROLLBACK_TEST/ALERT_DRILLS/TEARDOWN=true`) is
+treated as granted as stated in the execution prompt. Each gated mutation still
+logs which approval it consumed; no approval is reinterpreted across categories.
+
+## 8. Implementation sequence
+
+1. **Phase 1** — failed-task timing (`timing_source`/`timing_confidence`,
+   derive from callback context or STARTED row, never invent) + regression
+   tests; Composer log re-test deferred to the live window.
+2. **Phases 2–3** — failure catalog (`failure-catalog-sprint6.md`,
+   `config/failure_scenarios.yaml`, ADR-013) and fault-injection framework
+   (`scripts/run_failure_scenario.sh`, `src/atlas/failure_injection/`,
+   disabled-by-default enforcement + tests).
+3. **Phase 4** — migration 007 `recovery_actions` + `src/atlas/ops/recovery_actions.py` + tests.
+4. **Phases 5–12 (static half)** — scenario logic and guards implementable
+   without cloud: cost guards (dry-run byte ceiling, backfill window,
+   full-refresh approval), schema classification extensions, IAM error
+   classification, observability degradation paths, plus unit tests per
+   Phase 16 matrix.
+5. **Phases 13–14** — recovery runbook + ADR-014 + ADR-015 + game-day plan.
+6. **Phase 16** — CI gates (scenario schema validation, fault-injection
+   default-off check) and green static CI.
+7. **Phase 17 live window** — recreate Composer (build.13 or newer compatible
+   image), deploy candidate, baseline batch, Game Days 1–5 with recovery,
+   reconciliation, and MTTR capture.
+8. **Phases 15+18** — two incident reports, validation/cost/security reviews,
+   README updates.
+9. **Closeout** — disable fixtures, teardown, final CI, merge, tag
+   `atlas-sprint-6-complete`.
+
+No cloud resource is provisioned and no fault is injected until steps 1–6 are
+green in CI.

+# Atlas Sprint 7 Preflight — Governance, Contracts, Schema Evolution, Security, Performance, Cost
+
+Verified live against `origin/main` and Git tags on 2026-07-19, before any
+Sprint 7 implementation. Repository truth overrides the master prompt; any
+discrepancies are noted inline.
+
+## 1. Git and release state
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Current branch | `cursor/atlas-sprint-7-governance-64a2` (created from `main`) |
+| `origin/main` HEAD | `1c2cc158c034f2920b1b39ce28a7ff93f375f335` (Sprint 6 release-table row) |
+| Sprint 6 merge commit | `48da9d226e0e942095c0623e5bd71d06f5e32e36` — **matches prompt** |
+| `atlas-sprint-6-complete` | resolves to `48da9d2…` — **matches expected** |
+| Tags 1–5 | `270e7d5`, `5135778`, `8aa1d7a`, `b609ac1`, `476e20a` (all present, unchanged) |
+| Working tree | clean |
+| Sprint 7 branches | none existed prior to this run |
+| Open PRs | #6 (setup-dev-env, draft), #3 (greptile, draft), #2 (duckdb starter, open) — all stale/unrelated to Atlas sprints; not a valid base |
+| Latest CI on main lineage | Sprint 6 run `29694739152` — atlas-ci **success** |
+
+Conclusion: Sprint 6 is properly merged and tagged; Sprint 7 branches cleanly
+from `main`. No unresolved Atlas branch should be used as a base.
+
+## 2. Sprint 6 inheritance
+
+- **Completion evidence:** `docs/validation-report-sprint6.md`,
+  `game-day-results-sprint6.md`, incident reports INC-S6-001/002, cost/security
+  reviews. Composer torn down (`composer environments list` = **0 items**),
+  bucket removed.
+- **`recovery_actions` state:** table live (migration 007, 20 columns); **1 row**
+  — `rec-s6-quarantine-atlas20260719`, `QUARANTINE_BATCH`, SUCCESS/VERIFIED.
+- **task_events timing provenance:** migration 008 applied
+  (`timing_source`, `timing_confidence`).
+- **Alert state:** 10 policies; `Atlas: data stale` and
+  `Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy` **DISABLED** (correct post-teardown
+  baseline — they assert on an absent Composer); other 8 ENABLED.
+- **Outstanding limitations carried into Sprint 7:**
+  - **Same-date reprocessing defect (INC-S6-001):** `generate_events` seeds
+    deterministically from `processing_date`, so multiple batches for one date
+    share identical `event_id`s. `int_event_classification` dedups `event_id`
+    **globally** (`row_number() over (partition by event_id …)`), so a second
+    same-date batch inflates `is_duplicate_extra` to the full batch size and the
+    batch-scoped `assert_source_anomaly_profile` test fails. **Sprint 7 Phase 3
+    must resolve this.**
+  - **Overlapping runs (INC-S6-002):** deploy unpauses the DAG, letting a
+    scheduled interval contend with the smoke run. Mitigation was manual DAG
+    pause; a durable fix is a Sprint 7/8 candidate (orchestration, lower
+    priority than the governance mission).
+
+### Current duplicate / grain invariants (must preserve)
+
+- `fct_events`: `materialized=incremental`, `incremental_strategy=merge`,
+  `unique_key=event_id`, `partition_by=event_date (date)`,
+  `cluster_by=[event_name, country_code]`, `on_schema_change=fail`. **Grain: one
+  row per `event_id`** — global fact uniqueness enforced.
+- `int_event_classification`: full-table rebuild; `is_duplicate_extra` =
+  `row_number() over (partition by event_id order by ingested_at desc, …) > 1`.
+- Anomaly profile expectation (`tests/assert_source_anomaly_profile.sql`, per
+  batch): duplicate_extra=50, null_user=500, invalid_country=200,
+  date_timestamp_mismatch=300, future_dated=150, backdated=300, late=0.
+
+## 3. Contracts & governance (current state — the gap Sprint 7 fills)
+
+| Artifact | State |
+| --- | --- |
+| dbt model contracts | Only `stg_events` has `config.contract.enforced: true` with `data_type`s. Other layers have descriptions + tests but no enforced contract. |
+| dbt `meta` (owner/grain/classification/consumers/contract_version) | **absent** on all models |
+| dbt exposures | **none** |
+| Source declarations | `models/sources/sources.yml` |
+| Model descriptions | present (grain stated informally in prose) |
+| CODEOWNERS | **none** |
+| Schema manifests / versioned baselines | **none** (only `observability/schema/expected-schemas.json` for ops tables) |
+| Migration records | `sql/migrations/manifest.txt` (001–008; ledger `atlas_ops.schema_migrations`, checksum-guarded) |
+| Retention config | **none declared** (datasets/buckets rely on GCP defaults) |
+| Classification metadata | **none** |
+| Governance source-of-truth | **none** — Sprint 7 Phase 1 creates it |
+
+**Source-of-truth decision (ADR-016):** dbt `meta`/properties will be
+authoritative for dbt models; a small `governance/` registry will cover non-dbt
+assets (raw/ops tables, buckets, DAGs, dashboards, log resources). A generated
+catalog consolidates both. No triple-maintained metadata.
+
+## 4. Lineage inputs available
+
+- dbt `manifest.json` (via `dbt parse`/`compile`) — authoritative model DAG +
+  source→model edges. dbt venv present at `/tmp/dbt-venv` / `.venv-dbt`.
+- Airflow DAG task graph (`dags/atlas_batch_pipeline.py`,
+  `atlas_observability_monitor.py`).
+- Migration manifest + `atlas_ops` audit-table dependencies.
+- No graph DB / metadata service exists or will be built (repo artifacts only).
+
+## 5. IAM inventory (from Sprint 6 live `get-iam-policy`, to re-verify in Phase 7)
+
+| Principal | Roles | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `atlas-composer-runtime@…` | `composer.worker`, `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `bigquery.resourceViewer` | Composer runtime |
+| `atlas-github-integration@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor` | CI (isolated datasets) |
+| `atlas-github-deployer@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `composer.user`, `composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` | deploy |
+| `service-…@cloudcomposer-accounts` | `composer.serviceAgent`, `composer.ServiceAgentV2Ext` | Google-managed |
+| Log sink writer | Logging service agent (intra-project sink) | Sprint 5 |
+| Human operator / Cursor dev credential | pre-existing broad project access (documented since Sprint 4) | used for recovery DELETEs |
+
+No Owner/Editor/broad-admin on Atlas identities; keyless WIF for GitHub. Phase 7
+builds the full matrix with observed-usage and a candidate reduction + negative
+test (gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`).
+
+## 6. Security posture (to formalize in Phase 8)
+
+Existing controls: `gate_secret_scan` in CI; `sanitize_error_message` for audit
+fields; structured-log field allowlist + truncation; notification evidence
+stores only the email (recipient is a real address — must not be committed in
+new evidence). Sample data is synthetic (`generate_events`). Public-repo
+extraction review is explicitly deferred to Sprint 8.
+
+## 7. BigQuery baseline (live)
+
+| Table | Rows |
+| --- | --- |
+| `atlas_raw.events` | 850,000 |
+| `atlas_core.fct_events` | 392,845 |
+| `atlas_marts.mart_daily_event_metrics` | 2,804 |
+| `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` | 25 |
+| `atlas_ops.task_events` | 257 |
+| `atlas_ops.recovery_actions` | 1 |
+
+Datasets present: `atlas_core`, `atlas_dbt_staging`, `atlas_intermediate`,
+`atlas_logs`, `atlas_marts`, `atlas_ops`, `atlas_quarantine`, `atlas_raw`,
+`atlas_staging`. `fct_events` is partitioned+clustered; raw `events` is
+partitioned by `event_date`, clustered by `event_name, country_code`. Job
+labels already applied (Sprint 5 ADR-012) for cost attribution. This is a
+50k-per-batch dataset — performance claims will be scoped honestly (no
+production-scale extrapolation).
+
+## 8. Cost baseline
+
+- **Permanent footprint:** the 9 BigQuery datasets (small), the
+  `atlas-observability` log bucket (30-day retention), metric descriptors, 10
+  alert policies, 1 notification channel, dashboard, audit tables, release
+  bundle bucket `atlas-deployments-…`.
+- **Composer:** absent (ephemeral; only created if a control genuinely needs it).
+- **Existing cost guards (Sprint 6):** `validate_backfill_window` (7-day),
+  `require_full_refresh_approval`, `enforce_dry_run_ceiling`,
+  `guarded_query_config` in `src/atlas/observability/cost_guards.py`.
+- **Sprint 7 additions:** `config/cost_controls.yaml`, a CLI estimator
+  (`cost_guard estimate`), a performance-suite byte ceiling, and a
+  required-partition-filter check. Proposed hard ceiling for the whole live
+  window: **`ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES` default 5 GB**, individual query
+  dry-run ceiling 1 GB (both overridable by approval).
+
+## 9. Existing CI gate framework (to extend, not replace)
+
+`scripts/validate_ci.sh` uses `run_gate <name> <fn>` with static/integration
+modes. Static gates: secret_scan, shell_syntax, shell_static, workflow_yaml,
+sql_migrations, python_format, python_lint, python_types, python_tests,
+config_validation, observability_config, failure_injection, dbt_static.
+`sql_migrations` currently checks additive-only/non-empty but **not** applied
+-migration checksum immutability against the ledger — Sprint 7 will add
+checksum-drift detection. New gates will follow the same `run_gate` pattern;
+PR CI stays credentialless.
+
+## 10. Do-not-touch confirmation
+
+Out-of-scope paths present and will not be modified without a documented,
+`apps/**`, `packages/**`, `transform/dbt/**`.
+
+## 11. Approval requirements for the gated phases
+
+Static implementation (Phases 1–6, 8, 13, 14 fixtures, most docs) needs **no
+approval**. The following live actions are gated and will stop with a recorded
+blocked-gate if approval is absent:
+
+| Action | Variable |
+| --- | --- |
+| BigQuery performance suite (bounded) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS=true` + `ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES` |
+| Live enforcement demos (cost block, etc.) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_LIVE_ACCEPTANCE=true` |
+| IAM reduction + negative test | `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true` |
+| Retention/lifecycle mutation | `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION=true` |
+| Composer create (only if required) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_COMPOSER_CREATE=true` |
+| Teardown | `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN=true` |
+| Breaking-schema demo (fixtures only) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_BREAKING_SCHEMA_DEMO=true` |
+| Ordinary dev-resource mutation | `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION=true` |
+
+Preflight complete. No resources mutated.

+Codebase scan: `src/atlas/` has 13 modules (batch, config, failure_injection,
+generator, ingestion, loader, logging, observability, ops, pipeline, validation,
+governance + `__init__`). `governance/` has registry, catalog, lineage, impact,
+schema_check, retention, security_policy. 41 scripts. **282 unit tests.** 61
+docs, 19 ADRs, 4 evidence directories (sprint4–7).
+
+## 3. Sprint 7 unresolved-gate summary (must remain visibly blocked)
+
+Recorded in `validation-report-sprint7.md` §18 as blocked on unset approvals:
+
+| Blocked gate | Approval required | Sprint 8 disposition |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Live IAM reduction + positive/negative test (`atlas-github-integration` dataEditor) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM` | Retain as BLOCKED risk; preserve plan; execute only if approval present |
+| Executed (billed) BigQuery performance suite | `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS` (+ `ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES`) | Retain as BLOCKED risk; dry-run baseline already exists |
+| Live retention/expiration application | `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION` | Retain as BLOCKED risk; disposal dry-run plan exists |
+
+These are optional Sprint 8 closure improvements, **not** automatic requirements.
+No claim will be made that a blocked control was executed.
+
+## 4. Reproducibility state
+
+| Facet | Verified value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Python | `requires-python = ">=3.12,<3.13"` (pyproject); mypy target 3.12 |
+| Runtime deps | `requirements.txt` (google-cloud-bigquery/storage/monitoring/logging, PyYAML, pytest) |
+| CI toolchain (pinned) | `requirements-ci.txt` — ruff 0.15.22, mypy 2.3.0, **yamllint 1.38.0, shellcheck-py 0.11.0.1**, pytest 9.1.1, types-PyYAML |
+| dbt | 1.11.12, BigQuery adapter (`dbt/atlas_dbt`) |
+| Airflow | pinned `apache-airflow==3.1.7` + providers-google 20.0.0 (`airflow/requirements-airflow.txt`); Composer `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13` |
+| Credentialless path | `bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static` (no GCP creds) |
+| Credentialed read-only | `verify_mcp_access.sh`; BigQuery dry-run via `cost_guard` |
+| Test count | 282 collected |
+| Generated/gitignored | `data/`, `logs/`, dbt `target/`, `.venv`, `.gcp/` |
+
+**Reproducibility note (root cause captured for clean-clone):** yamllint and
+shellcheck are pinned in `requirements-ci.txt`. A clone that installs only
+`requirements.txt` will `SKIP` `workflow_yaml`/`shell_static`; installing
+`requirements-ci.txt` makes those gates run. The clean-clone doc must direct
+installing **both** files, matching the Sprint 4 quick start.
+
+## 5. CI gate inventory (21 gates in `validate_ci.sh`)
+
+`secret_scan, shell_syntax, shell_static, workflow_yaml, sql_migrations,
+python_format, python_lint, python_types, python_tests, config_validation,
+observability_config, failure_injection, governance, schema_compatibility,
+lineage_impact, security_policy, performance_cost, airflow_environment,
+dag_import, dbt_static, gcp_integration`. Sprint 8 adds exactly one focused gate:
+`gate_reference_handoff` (Phase 18). No validation logic will be duplicated in
+workflow YAML.
+
+## 6. Reference-architecture readiness & risks found in preflight
+
+- **Docs are conversation-independent:** grep for `/home/ubuntu`, `/workspace`,
+  `/Users/`, `ChatGPT`, "prior conversation", "previous session" across `docs/`
+  → **0 matches.** Good baseline for the handoff CI gate.
+- **Public-extraction finding (feeds Phase 14):** operator name / notification
+  email (`the primary operator…@gmail.com`) appears in ~35 files — concentrated in
+  `observability/alerts/*.json` (notification channel), Sprint 4/5 WIF & IAM docs,
+  `bootstrap_github_wif.sh`, and setup guides. These need REDACT/REPLACE_WITH_SAMPLE
+  dispositions. Private project id `example-gcp-project` and bucket/SA names are
+  pervasive and expected (REPLACE_WITH_SAMPLE at template time).
+- **Composer customer-project task-log limitation** (Sprint 5) and **synthetic
+  50k-row scale** are standing honest limitations → unresolved-risk register.
+- Stable architecture decisions live in ADR-002…020; invariants are implied
+  across sprints and must be consolidated (Phase 4).
+
+## 7. Proposed Sprint 8 file structure
+
+```
+
+  START_HERE.md
+  docs/
+    preflight-sprint8.md            (this)
+    sprint8-context-pack.md
+    token-efficiency-sprint8.md
+    validation-report-sprint8.md
+    reference-architecture/         (18 curated map docs + reference-manifest.yml)
+    handoff/                        (operator ×3, agent ×2, clean-clone, handoff ×3, evidence ledger)
+    evidence-sprint8/               (clean-clone-results.md, independent-handoff-results.md)
+    presentation/                   (presentation, demo-script, question-bank)
+    adr/ADR-021-reference-architecture-and-handoff-contract.md
+  governance/
+    unresolved_risks.yml
+    generated/evidence-index.json
+  config/public_extraction_manifest.yml
+  scripts/
+    validate_clean_clone.sh
+    validate_public_extraction.py
+    validate_ci.sh                  (+ gate_reference_handoff)
+  src/atlas/reference/              (validate.py — `python -m atlas.reference.validate`)
+```
+
+## 8. Bounded execution sequence
+
+P0 preflight+context (this) → P1 START_HERE → P2–7 reference package (manifest +
+17 docs) → P8 evidence index + `atlas.reference.validate` → P9–10 operator/agent
+onboarding → P11 clean-clone script + 2 fresh-dir runs → P12 independent handoff
+test + scorecard → P13 unresolved-risk register + S7 disposition → P14
+public-extraction review + validator → P15 template-extraction plan → P16–17
+capability ledger + presentation → P18 `gate_reference_handoff` → P19 final CI +
+clean-clone + docs → close out on `ATLAS_APPROVE_RELEASE`.
+
+## 9. Token & cloud-cost envelope
+
+Target: **50–65% of Sprint 7** agent consumption. 1 primary scan (done) + 1
+targeted closeout scan. **0 Composer cycles, 0 deployment cycles, ~$0 cloud**
+(only optional read-only dry-runs under `ATLAS_APPROVE_HANDOFF_LIVE_READ`). Link
+to existing docs rather than duplicating Sprint 1–7 prose. One handoff gate, not
+many. Tripwire: stop and report if projected work nears 75% of Sprint 7.
+
+## 10. Required approvals (all currently UNSET unless noted)
+
+| Variable | Gates | Needed for |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_HANDOFF_LIVE_READ` | optional read-only GCP leg of clean-clone/handoff | not required for green |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM` | Sprint 7 IAM leg | stays BLOCKED if unset |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS` (+ byte ceiling) | Sprint 7 billed perf | stays BLOCKED if unset |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION` | Sprint 7 retention | stays BLOCKED if unset |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PUBLIC_EXTRACTION` | local extraction candidate dir | dry-run works without it |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_RELEASE` | final `atlas-sprint-8-complete` tag | closeout only |
+
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION/DEPLOY/TEARDOWN=true` are present in the environment but
+Sprint 8 requires no provisioning, deployment, or teardown.
+
+## 11. Known risks entering Sprint 8
+
+1. Clean-clone may reveal an undocumented setup step (that is the point — fix
+   root cause in docs/scripts, rerun from a fresh directory).
+2. Independent handoff may score < 25/30 on first attempt; repair docs, rerun
+   affected portions with fresh context.
+3. Personal-email/name spread is wider than one file; the public-extraction
+   validator must catch all of it without printing values.
+4. This agent cannot fully guarantee "independent" handoff without a separate
+   tester context; the handoff will use a subagent with only the repo +
+   START_HERE + assignment, and any assistance will be recorded as an
+   intervention honestly.

+# Atlas Demo Script
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · A bounded, safe (credentialless) demo sequence. Every step
+runs without GCP access and finishes in a few minutes.

+cd Atlas-GCP-Build
+python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate   # required on PEP 668 hosts
+pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-ci.txt
+export PYTHONPATH=src            # atlas.* modules live under src/
+```
+
+1. **Starting point** — open [`../../START_HERE.md`](../../START_HERE.md); show the
+   four audience paths.
+2. **Architecture** — open [architecture-overview](../reference-architecture/architecture-overview.md); walk the four flows.
+3. **Static validation** — `bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static` → green
+   gate summary (`validate_ci: PASS`).
+4. **Governance catalog** — `python -m atlas.governance.catalog check` →
+   "governance catalog matches sources" (22 assets).
+5. **Lineage** — `python -m atlas.governance.lineage` → 26 nodes / 29 edges.
+6. **Schema compatibility** — show `governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json`
+   and `sql/migrations/checksums.lock`; explain the immutability gate.
+7. **Cost guard** — `python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard check-partition-filter
+   --sql-file observability/performance/queries/unbounded_scan.sql --asset atlas_raw.events`
+   → BLOCKED before spend ($0).
+8. **Evidence index** — `python -m atlas.reference.validate` → OK; open
+   [evidence-index](../reference-architecture/evidence-index.md).
+9. **Incident & recovery** — open `docs/incident-report-INC-S6-001-batch-contamination.md`
+   and `docs/validation-report-sprint6.md` §recovery.
+10. **Unresolved risks** — open [unresolved-risks](../reference-architecture/unresolved-risks.md);
+    call out the three BLOCKED gates honestly.
+
+No mutation, no billed query, no Composer. The whole demo is credentialless and
+reproducible.

+# Atlas — Final Technical Presentation (source)
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · Source for ~12–15 slides. No slide deck binary is created.
+Each slide: purpose, key points, proposed visual, evidence source, speaker notes,
+likely reviewer question. Evidence links resolve to repository artifacts.
+
+---
+
+### Slide 1 — Problem & objective
+- **Purpose:** frame the engineering problem. **Key points:** correct, governed,
+  observable, recoverable batch data platform on GCP; synthetic scale by design.
+- **Visual:** one-line value statement. **Evidence:** [system-context](../reference-architecture/system-context.md).
+- **Notes:** production-*oriented*, not production-*scale*. **Q:** why batch?
+
+### Slide 2 — Architecture overview
+- **Key points:** four flows (data/control/operational/governance).
+- **Visual:** the context diagram. **Evidence:** [architecture-overview](../reference-architecture/architecture-overview.md). **Q:** where are the boundaries?
+
+### Slide 3 — Data lifecycle
+- **Key points:** generate → GCS → raw → dbt → marts; immutable, run-scoped.
+- **Visual:** data-flow arrows. **Evidence:** `validation-report-sprint1/2`. **Q:** how is idempotency achieved?
+
+### Slide 4 — Warehouse & dbt model
+- **Key points:** staging→classification→accepted/rejected→fact/dims→marts;
+  contracts + tests. **Visual:** dbt DAG. **Evidence:** `dbt/atlas_dbt`. **Q:** why dbt?
+
+### Slide 5 — Orchestration & identity
+- **Key points:** Airflow; `batch_id` vs `pipeline_run_id`; retries/backfills.
+- **Evidence:** `validation-report-sprint3`, ADR-006. **Q:** exact-rerun idempotency?
+
+### Slide 6 — CI/CD & secure deployment
+- **Key points:** credentialless PR CI; keyless WIF; immutable releases; rollback.
+- **Evidence:** ADR-008/009/010, `ci-cd-runbook-sprint4`. **Q:** why keyless?
+
+### Slide 7 — Observability
+- **Key points:** structured logs, correlation ids, metrics, alerts→runbooks.
+- **Evidence:** ADR-011, `observability-runbook-sprint5`. **Q:** NO_DATA alerts?
+
+### Slide 8 — Failure & recovery
+- **Key points:** detect→contain→diagnose→recover→verify→prevent; verified repair.
+- **Evidence:** `game-day-results-sprint6`, INC-S6-001. **Q:** how is recovery verified?
+
+### Slide 9 — Governance & schema evolution
+- **Key points:** one source of truth; compatibility classes; migration immutability.
+- **Evidence:** ADR-016/017, `governance/`. **Q:** how are breaking changes blocked?
+
+### Slide 10 — Security & IAM
+- **Key points:** WIF, no keys/Owner/Editor; one blocked least-privilege reduction.
+- **Evidence:** [security model](../reference-architecture/security-and-identity-model.md). **Q:** is least privilege proven?
+
+### Slide 11 — Performance & cost
+- **Key points:** dry-run baseline, partition pruning, cost-guard $0 block.
+- **Evidence:** `performance/cost-review-sprint7`. **Q:** what about production scale?
+
+### Slide 12 — Incidents & lessons
+- **Key points:** INC-S6-001/002; the same-date reprocessing fix (ADR-006 amend).
+- **Evidence:** incident reports. **Q:** what recurred and how was it prevented?
+
+### Slide 13 — Evidence & reproducibility
+- **Key points:** evidence index; clean-clone; independent handoff.
+- **Evidence:** [evidence-index](../reference-architecture/evidence-index.md), `evidence-sprint8/`. **Q:** can someone else run it?
+
+### Slide 14 — Limitations
+- **Key points:** synthetic scale; blocked IAM/perf/retention; no streaming; not a template.
+- **Evidence:** [unresolved-risks](../reference-architecture/unresolved-risks.md). **Q:** what is NOT production-ready?
+
+### Slide 15 — Future extensions
+- **Key points:** API ingestion, template extraction + second-project validation.

+# Atlas Question Bank
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · Credible, evidence-bound answers to likely reviewer
+questions. Each links to the authoritative source.
+
+- **Why batch instead of streaming?** The engineering problem is correctness,
+  governance, and recovery at controlled cost; batch makes idempotency, replay,
+  and reconciliation tractable and cheap. Streaming is a deliberate non-goal
+  (RISK-08). → [system-context](../reference-architecture/system-context.md).
+- **Why BigQuery?** Serverless, partitioning/clustering, dry-run cost estimation,
+  `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` for cost/perf evidence. → [cost model](../reference-architecture/cost-and-lifecycle-model.md).
+- **Why dbt?** Declarative models, tests, contracts, lineage, and schema-evolution
+  hooks. → `dbt/atlas_dbt`, ADR-016/017.
+- **Why Composer?** Managed Airflow parity with production orchestration without
+  running our own control plane. → ADR-005.
+- **Why ephemeral Composer?** Cost control + drift avoidance; created for
+  acceptance, torn down while preserving durable evidence (INV-L7/O7). → ADR-010.
+- **How is idempotency achieved?** Stable `batch_id`, create-only loads, dbt
+  incremental `unique_key`, global fact uniqueness (INV-D2/D3/D5). → ADR-006.
+- **How are duplicates classified?** Within-batch duplicate vs cross-batch replay
+  are distinct scopes in `int_event_classification` (INV-D4). → ADR-006 amendment.
+- **How are schema changes controlled?** Classified COMPATIBLE/CONDITIONAL/
+  BREAKING/PROHIBITED; migrations immutable via checksum lock; breaking needs
+  impact evidence (INV-D8/G4/G5). → ADR-017.
+- **How is rollback protected?** Schema-compatibility checked before rollback;
+  failed deploys never publish success (INV-L5/L6). → ADR-015.
+- **What happens when data quality fails?** Publication is blocked; quality
+  results recorded; alert + runbook (INV-D7). → `game-day-results-sprint6`.
+- **How are incidents detected?** Retries, dbt tests, guards, telemetry → alerts
+  mapped to runbooks (INV-O6). → `observability-runbook-sprint5`.
+- **How is recovery verified?** SUCCESS gated on `VERIFIED` in `recovery_actions`
+  (INV-O3). → INC-S6-001.
+- **What is genuinely production-ready?** The controls and evidence discipline:
+  credentialless CI, keyless deploy, immutable releases, governance gates,
+  observability, verified recovery.
+- **What remains unproven?** Production-scale performance/cost, live least
+  privilege, live retention, multi-env promotion, streaming, template reuse. →
+  [unresolved-risks](../reference-architecture/unresolved-risks.md).
+- **What would change at larger scale?** Slot management, incremental strategies,
+  partition/cluster tuning, real SLOs/alert thresholds, multi-env promotion.
+- **What would be extracted into a template?** RC-01..22; the plan and acceptance
+  (not executed in Sprint 8).

+# Atlas Recovery Runbook (Sprint 6)
+
+Companion to `docs/observability-runbook-sprint5.md` (detection and
+diagnosis). This runbook covers what to *do* once a failure is diagnosed, and
+how to prove the recovery worked. Model: ADR-014.
+
+## The decision tree
+
+```text
+FAILURE DETECTED
+│
+├─ 1. Is canonical data corrupted?
+│   │   (raw/fact/mart rows wrong, duplicated, or partially loaded — not
+│   │    merely a failed run that published nothing)
+│   │
+│   ├─ NO ──► pick the cheapest state-restoring action:
+│   │         • task failed transiently ............ RETRY_TASK
+│   │         • run failed, data untouched ......... RERUN_BATCH (same batch id)
+│   │         • permission removed ................. RESTORE_IAM (exact binding)
+│   │         • bad release deployed ............... RESTORE_RELEASE (rollback path)
+│   │         • monitor/alert state wrong .......... RESET_MONITOR
+│   │
+│   └─ YES ─► contain first, repair second:
+│             a. PAUSE_SCHEDULE / block publication (no new consumers of bad data)
+│             b. QUARANTINE_BATCH (isolate the affected batch identity)
+│             c. determine the repair boundary (batch? partition? table?)
+│             │
+│             ├─ 2. Can the batch/partition be repaired safely?
+│             │   ├─ YES ─► targeted repair:
+│             │   │         REPAIR_PARTIAL_LOAD or REBUILD_PARTITION (bounded),
+│             │   │         then reconcile, then RESUME_SCHEDULE
+│             │   └─ NO ──► restore prior compatible runtime (RESTORE_RELEASE),
+│             │             FORWARD_MIGRATION if schema demands it,
+│             │             rebuild affected history, BACKFILL (bounded window),
+│             │             reconcile, RESUME_SCHEDULE
+```
+
+Ordering rules:
+
+- Targeted repair before rebuild; rebuild before restore-and-backfill.
+- `dbt build --full-refresh` is never the first response — it is gated by
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_FULL_REFRESH` (S6-COST-003) precisely so nobody reaches for
+  it reflexively.
+- Backfills are bounded to the 7-day policy window;
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_UNBOUNDED_BACKFILL=true` requires a documented cost review
+  (S6-COST-002).
+- Rollback across a `breaking`-flagged migration is refused by the deploy
+  engine (`ROLLBACK_INCOMPATIBLE`); recover forward (ADR-015).
+
+## Recording the recovery
+
+Every attempt gets a row in `atlas_ops.recovery_actions` **before** the
+mutation starts:
+
+```python
+from atlas.ops.recovery_actions import start_recovery_action, finalize_recovery_action
+
+rec = start_recovery_action(
+    recovery_id="s6-<scenario>-<n>",
+    action_type="RERUN_BATCH",
+    scenario_id="S6-ING-001",
+    incident_id="<monitoring incident id if any>",
+    pipeline_run_id="...", batch_id="...", operator="russell",
+    environment="atlas-dev", source_state="FAILED", target_state="SUCCESS",
+)
+# ... perform + verify ...
+finalize_recovery_action(rec, status="SUCCESS", verification_status="VERIFIED")
+```
+
+`SUCCESS` without `VERIFIED` raises by design. A recovery that cannot pass
+verification is finalized `PARTIAL` or `FAILED` — honestly.
+
+## The verification list (all must pass before SUCCESS)
+
+Run against the affected batch/partition:
+
+1. raw count exact (generator contract: 50,000 per standard batch)
+2. accepted + rejected = raw
+3. classification count = raw
+4. fact count = accepted
+5. fact event_ids unique
+6. fact foreign keys resolve (users, countries)
+7. mart totals reconcile
+8. success marker present (success path only)
+9. `pipeline_runs` row terminal and truthful
+10. `task_events` telemetry complete for the run
+11. `recovery_actions` row finalized with verification
+12. monitor evaluations return to PASS
+13. related incident closed/resolved
+14. zero duplicate rows anywhere in the lineage
+
+Convenient wrapper: `scripts/atlas_step_runner.py validate_warehouse` with the
+batch context executes checks 1–7 and persists them to
+`atlas_ops.quality_results`.
+
+## Reconstruction procedure (RECONSTRUCT_AUDIT)
+
+When the finalizer or telemetry writes failed (S6-AIR-003, S6-OBS-002/008):
+
+1. Collect ground truth: Airflow task instance states (`airflow tasks
+   states-for-dag-run`), GCS object existence/generation, BigQuery row counts,
+   any `task_events` rows that did land, structured logs in `atlas-events`.
+2. Derive the run's true terminal status from data state, not from wishes:
+   marker + reconciliation pass = SUCCESS; anything else = FAILED.
+3. Upsert the corrected `pipeline_runs` row (idempotent MERGE keyed by
+   `pipeline_run_id`) and the missing `task_events` rows with
+   `timing_source='finalizer_reconciliation'` and honest
+   `timing_confidence` (`partial` or `none` — never invented `exact`).
+4. Record the RECONSTRUCT_AUDIT recovery action; verify telemetry
+   completeness now passes; close the telemetry-incomplete incident.
+
+## Per-category quick reference
+
+| Diagnosis | First action | Verify with |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Missing/corrupt artifact | quarantine object, regenerate deterministically, rerun | checksum match + counts |
+| Partial raw load | delete/replace only the affected batch partition rows, rerun load | exact count + uniqueness |
+| Retry exhaustion | fix cause, rerun same batch id | full verification list |
+| Worker interruption | let retry policy work; rerun if terminal | task_events attempts + counts |
+| Finalizer failure | RECONSTRUCT_AUDIT (above) | completeness PASS |
+| dbt test/RI/duplicate failure | quarantine offending rows (fixture or batch), rerun | dbt tests green + reconciliation |
+| Incremental corruption | targeted partition rebuild in place | non-target partitions unchanged |
+| IAM loss | restore the exact removed binding only | probe operation + policy diff vs baseline |
+| Failed deployment/smoke | RESTORE_RELEASE to last SUCCESS deployment | rollback smoke 12/12 |
+| Rollback failure | secondary RESTORE_RELEASE / forward fix | deployments audit + smoke |
+| Cost guard trip | fix the query/window; never raise ceilings casually | dry-run estimate below ceiling |
+
+## Escalation
+
+Primary operator: the primary operator. Escalation: repository owner/designated
+reviewer. External escalation only through the approved notification channel.
+Preserve evidence before changing any firing policy or deleting any fixture.

+# Architecture Invariants
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, agent, reviewer. These are the
+properties that must remain true. Each has an id, statement, reason, enforcement,
+evidence, failure consequence, safe-change procedure, and related ADRs. An agent
+must confirm no invariant is silently broken (see
+[agent-task-protocol.md](../handoff/agent-task-protocol.md)).
+
+Format per entry: **INV — statement** · *why* · **enforced by** · *evidence* ·
+**if broken** · *safe change* · ADRs.
+
+## DATA
+
+- **INV-D1 — Raw artifacts are immutable and run-scoped.** *Reproducibility &
+  audit.* Enforced by create-only GCS upload paths + loader. Evidence:
+  `validation-report-sprint1.md`. If broken: history becomes unauditable. Safe
+  change: new run prefix, never overwrite. ADR-003.
+- **INV-D2 — `batch_id` is stable data identity; `pipeline_run_id` is one
+  execution.** *Separates data from run.* Enforced by `src/atlas/batch` run
+  context + `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`. Evidence: `validation-report-sprint3.md`,
+  ADR-006/007. If broken: reruns duplicate or lose data. Safe change: ADR + tests.
+- **INV-D3 — Exact reruns are idempotent.** *Retries/backfills must be safe.*
+  Enforced by dbt incremental `unique_key` + create-only loads. Evidence: dbt
+  `test_duplicate_ranking_keeps_latest_canonical`. If broken: double counting.
+  Safe change: preserve merge key. ADR-006.
+- **INV-D4 — Within-batch duplicates and cross-batch replay are distinct.**
+  *Anomaly profile vs replay must not conflate.* Enforced by
+  `int_event_classification` (`within_batch_duplicate_rank` vs `duplicate_rank`,
+  `duplicate_scope`). Evidence: dbt `test_cross_batch_replay_preserves_first_seen`.
+  If broken: Sprint 6 INC-S6-001 recurs. Safe change: ADR-006 amendment procedure.
+- **INV-D5 — `fct_events` grain is one row per `event_id`.** *Global uniqueness.*
+  Enforced by dbt uniqueness test + merge key. Evidence: `core.yml` tests. If
+  broken: all downstream metrics wrong. Safe change: deliberate ADR only. ADR-006.
+- **INV-D6 — accepted + rejected reconciles to raw under declared semantics.**
+  *No silent data loss.* Enforced by reconciliation tests + `assert_source_*`.
+  Evidence: `validation-report-sprint2.md`. If broken: data leakage. Safe change:
+  update contract + tests together.
+- **INV-D7 — Quality failure prevents publication.** *No bad data downstream.*
+  Enforced by DAG quality gate + `atlas_ops.quality_results`. Evidence:
+  game-day S6-DBT-002. If broken: consumers see bad data. Safe change: keep gate
+  before publish step.
+- **INV-D8 — Applied migrations are immutable.** *Deterministic schema history.*
+  Enforced by `gate_schema_compatibility` + `sql/migrations/checksums.lock`.
+  Evidence: `test_migration_checksum_tamper_is_detected`. If broken: drift. Safe
+  change: add a new migration, never edit an applied one. ADR-017.
+
+## DELIVERY
+
+- **INV-L1 — PR CI remains credentialless.** *Untrusted PRs never touch GCP.*
+  Enforced by `validate_ci.sh --mode static` + workflow separation. Evidence:
+  green PR runs. If broken: supply-chain risk. Safe change: keep cloud in trusted
+  workflows only. ADR-008.
+- **INV-L2 — Trusted GCP actions use keyless WIF.** *No service-account keys.*
+  Enforced by workflow OIDC + `gate_security_policy` (no key creation). Evidence:
+  ADR-009, `validation-report-sprint4.md`. If broken: credential leakage. Safe
+  change: never add SA keys; don't weaken trust conditions. ADR-009/018.
+- **INV-L3 — Releases are immutable.** Enforced by content-pinned bundles
+  (`build_deployment_bundle.sh`). Evidence: `deployment-catalog-sprint4.md`. If
+  broken: non-reproducible deploys. Safe change: new bundle per release.
+- **INV-L4 — Migrations run before deployment validation.** Enforced by deploy
+  sequence. Evidence: sprint4/6 validation reports. If broken: schema/code skew.
+  Safe change: preserve ordering. ADR-010.
+- **INV-L5 — Smoke validation gates success; a failed deployment cannot publish
+  success.** Enforced by `validate_atlas_deployment.sh` + `atlas_ops.deployments`.
+  Evidence: sprint4 incident report. If broken: false green. Safe change: keep
+  smoke gate mandatory.
+- **INV-L6 — Rollback checks schema compatibility.** Enforced by
+  `rollback_atlas.sh` + schema-version handling. Evidence: ADR-015. If broken:
+  rollback corrupts schema. Safe change: keep compatibility check.
+- **INV-L7 — Composer is ephemeral for evidence capture** (unless a future ADR
+  changes it). Enforced by create/teardown procedure + `ATLAS_APPROVE_*`.
+  Evidence: sprint6 teardown record. If broken: cost + drift. Safe change: ADR.
+  ADR-005/010.
+
+## OPERATIONS
+
+- **INV-O1 — Operational history is durable.** `atlas_ops.*` tables persist
+  through teardown. Evidence: sprint6 validation §8. Safe change: never expire
+  audit tables (INV-G7).
+- **INV-O2 — Failures are correlated by identifiers.** `pipeline_run_id` +
+  `batch_id` on every event/log. Evidence: ADR-011. Safe change: keep correlation
+  ids in the log contract.
+- **INV-O3 — Recovery success requires verification.** SUCCESS gated on
+  `VERIFIED` in `atlas_ops.recovery_actions`. Evidence: INC-S6-001. ADR-014.
+- **INV-O4 — Fault injection is disabled by default.** Enforced by
+  `gate_failure_injection` + config. Evidence: `test_failure_injection.py`. If
+  broken: accidental production faults. ADR-013.
+- **INV-O5 — Cost guards execute before expensive behavior.** Enforced by
+  `cost_guard` dry-run-first. Evidence: `cost-guard-block.txt`. ADR-020.
+- **INV-O6 — Alerts map to runbooks.** Enforced by `gate_reference_handoff`
+  (alert→runbook) + observability config. Evidence: `alert-catalog-sprint5.md`.
+- **INV-O7 — Teardown must not destroy required evidence.** Evidence: sprint6
+  teardown preserved audit tables + recovery row. Safe change: teardown allow-list.
+
+## GOVERNANCE
+
+- **INV-G1 — Model governance metadata has one source of truth** (dbt `meta` for
+  models, registry for non-dbt). Enforced by `gate_governance` duplicate check.
+  ADR-016.
+- **INV-G2 — All major assets have owners.** Enforced by `gate_governance`.
+- **INV-G3 — All major models declare grain.** Enforced by `gate_governance`.

+  PROHIBITED). Enforced by `schema_check` + `gate_schema_compatibility`. ADR-017.
+- **INV-G5 — Breaking changes require migration + consumer-impact evidence.**
+  Enforced by change-record requirement. Evidence: `test_schema_check.py`. ADR-017.
+- **INV-G6 — Deprecation follows a controlled lifecycle.** Enforced by
+  `registry.deprecation_errors`. Evidence: `test_deprecation.py`. ADR-017.

+# Architecture Overview
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, reviewer · **Source of truth:**
+code + `docs/architecture-sprint{1..7}.md` + ADRs. Curated map; links to detail.
+
+Atlas has four cooperating flows. Each is implemented and evidenced; none is
+aspirational. Scale is synthetic — this is production-*oriented* evidence, not
+proof of production traffic volume.
+
+## 1. Data flow
+
+```
+event generation            src/atlas/generator (deterministic, seeded anomalies)
+  → immutable raw artifact   JSONL, content-addressed per run
+  → Cloud Storage            run-scoped, immutable landing paths
+  → BigQuery raw             atlas_raw.events (partitioned by date, clustered)
+  → dbt staging              stg_events (typed, normalized)
+  → classification           int_event_classification (accept/reject + dup/replay)
+  → accepted / rejected      int_accepted_events / int_rejected_events
+  → fact + dimensions        fct_events (1 row/event_id), dim_users, dim_countries
+  → marts                    mart_daily_event_metrics
+  → operational evidence     atlas_ops.* (audit, quality, deployments, ...)
+```
+
+Invariants: raw is immutable and run-scoped; `fct_events` grain is one row per
+`event_id`; accepted + rejected reconciles to raw under declared semantics;
+quality failure blocks publication. Details:
+[architecture-invariants.md](architecture-invariants.md), ADR-003/006.
+
+## 2. Control flow (CI/CD)
+
+```
+pull request
+  → credentialless CI        scripts/validate_ci.sh (21 gates, no GCP creds)
+  → trusted integration      WIF-authenticated workflow (no service-account keys)
+  → immutable release        build_deployment_bundle.sh (content-pinned bundle)
+  → migration validation     apply_atlas_migrations.sh + checksums.lock
+  → Composer deployment      deploy_atlas_release.sh (ephemeral environment)
+  → smoke validation         validate_atlas_deployment.sh (gates success)
+  → rollback OR success      rollback_atlas.sh (schema-compatibility checked)
+```
+
+Invariants: PR CI stays credentialless; releases are immutable; migrations run
+before deployment validation; a failed deployment cannot publish success;
+rollback checks schema compatibility. Details: ADR-008/009/010,
+[ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md](../ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md).
+
+## 3. Operational flow
+
+```
+pipeline telemetry           structured JSON logs w/ correlation ids
+  → operational audit         atlas_ops.pipeline_runs / task_events / quality_results
+  → Cloud Logging             atlas-events log + linked BigQuery dataset
+  → metrics                   custom + log-based metrics (observability/metrics)
+  → alerts                    Cloud Monitoring policies (observability/alerts)
+  → investigation             runbook-driven diagnosis
+  → recovery action           atlas_ops.recovery_actions (targeted repair)
+  → verification              validate_warehouse; SUCCESS gated on VERIFIED
+  → prevention evidence       incident reports + follow-ups
+```
+
+Invariants: operational history is durable; failures correlate by
+`pipeline_run_id`/`batch_id`; recovery success requires verification; alerts map
+to runbooks. Details: ADR-011/014, [observability-runbook-sprint5.md](../observability-runbook-sprint5.md),
+[recovery-runbook-sprint6.md](../recovery-runbook-sprint6.md).
+
+## 4. Governance flow
+
+```
+asset metadata               dbt meta.governance + governance/non_dbt_assets.yml
+  → contract validation       gate_governance (owners, grain, classification, ...)
+  → schema compatibility       atlas.governance.schema_check + baseline manifest
+  → lineage impact             atlas.governance.lineage / impact
+  → CI enforcement             5 offline gates in validate_ci.sh
+  → controlled change          change record + consumer-impact evidence
+```
+
+Invariants: one source of truth for model governance; owners+grain required;
+schema changes classified; breaking changes need migration + impact; permanent
+evidence cannot receive transient retention; secrets never in evidence. Details:
+ADR-016–020, [architecture-sprint7.md](../architecture-sprint7.md).
+
+## What did NOT change across sprints
+
+The Sprint 1 data plane shape (generate → GCS → raw → dbt → marts) is stable.
+Later sprints added orchestration, delivery, observability, resilience, and
+governance *around* it without redesigning it. The only data-plane semantics
+change in Sprint 7 was duplicate/replay *classification* (ADR-006 amendment) —
+the `fct_events` grain was preserved.

+# Capability & Evidence Map
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** reviewer, interviewer. Maps Atlas evidence to
+engineering competency domains. Each capability lists evidence, level
+demonstrated, limitation, and what the next level would require. This does **not**
+convert project evidence into inflated seniority claims — see
+[engineering-evidence-ledger.md](../handoff/engineering-evidence-ledger.md) for
+the full ledger.
+
+Level scale: **Demonstrated** (proven in Atlas) · **Partial** (shown at synthetic
+scale/one path) · **Not shown**.
+
+## SQL & warehousing
+
+Advanced SQL, grain, dedup, late data, incremental, partitioning, clustering,
+dimensional modeling, cost control — **Demonstrated** (dbt models, `fct_events`
+grain, incremental, partition pruning). *Limitation:* synthetic 50k rows.
+*Next level:* production volume + slot/cost tuning under real load.
+
+## dbt
+
+Sources, staging, intermediate, facts, dimensions, marts, tests, contracts, docs,
+incremental, schema evolution — **Demonstrated** (`dbt/atlas_dbt` + Sprint 7
+schema checker). *Limitation:* single project. *Next level:* dbt mesh / multi-project.
+
+## GCP
+
+Cloud Storage, BigQuery, IAM, WIF, Composer, Logging, Monitoring, cost
+stewardship — **Demonstrated** (Sprints 1–7 live evidence). *Limitation:* single
+project, ephemeral Composer, one blocked IAM reduction. *Next level:* multi-env
+promotion + live least-privilege proof.
+
+## Pipeline engineering
+
+Ingestion, idempotency, retries, backfills, orchestration, audit, failure
+handling, recovery — **Demonstrated** (Sprints 1/3/6 + verified recovery).
+*Limitation:* batch only. *Next level:* streaming/event-driven.
+
+## Software engineering
+
+Git, PRs, CI, lint, typing, tests, packaging, immutable releases, rollback —
+**Demonstrated** (21-gate CI, 269-test unit+Airflow gate / 282 across all
+suites, immutable bundles, rollback).
+*Limitation:* single repo. *Next level:* multi-service release orchestration.
+
+## Governance & security
+
+Ownership, contracts, lineage, impact, schema compatibility, least privilege,
+secrets, retention — **Demonstrated** (Sprint 7). *Limitation:* least privilege
+not proven at permission level live (RISK-01/02, BLOCKED). *Next level:* execute
+the IAM reduction + negative test.
+
+## Operations
+
+Alerts, runbooks, incidents, postmortems, recovery, verification, recurrence
+prevention — **Demonstrated** (Sprints 5/6 drills + incident reports).
+*Limitation:* representative live subset. *Next level:* sustained on-call at scale.
+
+## Honest framing
+
+Atlas is strong, reproducible **evidence of capability at a deliberately modest
+synthetic scale**. It is not evidence of production-scale operation, enterprise
+governance, or senior tenure. Blocked and unproven items are listed in
+[unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md) and never counted as demonstrated.

+# Component Catalog — Atlas-Specific
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, reviewer, template author. These
+components encode Atlas's synthetic domain or environment. A new project built
+from the template would **replace** them. For each: why it is specific, what a
+new project replaces it with, the interface that must stay stable, and which
+reusable component depends on it.
+
+Fields: why specific · new-project replacement · stable interface · reusable
+dependency.
+
+- **AC-01 synthetic event schema** (`src/atlas/generator`, `config/atlas.yaml`).
+  Why: models a fictional user-action stream. Replace: real source schema.
+  Stable interface: the raw-table column contract consumed by dbt sources.
+  Depends: RC-09 logging, RC-16 governance (contract).
+- **AC-02 anomaly injection profile** (`config/anomaly_profile.yaml`). Why: seeded
+  test anomalies (50 within-batch duplicates, etc.). Replace: real data-quality
+  expectations. Interface: `assert_source_anomaly_profile` inputs. Depends: RC-11.
+- **AC-03 event identity rules** (event_id derivation). Why: synthetic id scheme.
+  Replace: source primary key. Interface: INV-D2/D5. Depends: RC-17 schema check.
+- **AC-04 acceptance/rejection semantics** (`int_event_classification`). Why:
+  Atlas-defined validity rules. Replace: domain validity rules. Interface: INV-D6
+  reconciliation. Depends: RC-16.
+- **AC-05 `fct_events` grain** (one row/event_id). Why: Atlas fact definition.
+  Replace: new fact grain. Interface: INV-D5. Depends: RC-17, RC-18.
+- **AC-06 specific dimensions & marts** (`dim_users`, `dim_countries`,
+  `mart_daily_event_metrics`). Why: Atlas domain model. Replace: new dims/marts.
+  Interface: dbt contracts. Depends: RC-18 lineage.
+- **AC-07 Atlas dataset names** (`atlas_raw`, `atlas_core`, `atlas_ops`, marts).
+  Why: naming. Replace: `dataset_prefix` parameter. Interface: everywhere.
+  Depends: RC-05/06/10/16.
+- **AC-08 Atlas service-account names** (`atlas-github-integration`,
+  deployer/runtime SAs). Why: identity naming. Replace: `service_account_prefix`.
+  Interface: WIF bindings. Depends: RC-03.
+- **AC-09 Atlas alert thresholds** (`observability/alerts/*.json`,
+  `config/observability.yaml`). Why: tuned to 50k synthetic scale. Replace:
+  real SLOs. Interface: RC-12 alert→runbook. Depends: RC-11/12.
+- **AC-10 GCP project reference** (`example-gcp-project`). Why: this project.
+  Replace: `gcp_project_id`. Interface: all cloud calls. Depends: RC-02/03.
+- **AC-11 sample processing dates** (`2026-07-15`, `atlas-20260717`, ...). Why:
+  demo batches. Replace: real schedule dates. Interface: DAG params. Depends: RC-11.
+- **AC-12 Atlas dashboard content** (`observability/dashboards/`). Why: Atlas
+  metrics layout. Replace: project dashboard. Depends: RC-11.
+- **AC-13 Atlas-specific failure scenarios** (`config/failure_scenarios.yaml`).
+  Why: tuned to Atlas pipeline. Replace: project scenarios. Depends: RC-14.
+
+## Boundary rule
+
+No component may be reclassified as reusable merely because it is written in
+Python or YAML. If replacing the synthetic domain would require rewriting the
+component's *logic* (not just its configuration), it belongs here. The
+naming into parameters and keeps AC-01..AC-06 as project-supplied contracts.

+# Cost and Lifecycle Model
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** operator, reviewer. Authoritative detail:
+[cost-review-sprint7.md](../cost-review-sprint7.md),
+[performance-review-sprint7.md](../performance-review-sprint7.md),
+[retention-policy-sprint7.md](../retention-policy-sprint7.md), ADR-012/019/020.
+
+## Controls (config-driven)
+
+`config/cost_controls.yaml` defines per-environment limits, enforced by
+`src/atlas/observability/cost_guard.py` and `gate_performance_cost`:
+
+- **max_query_bytes / max_performance_suite_bytes** — hard byte ceilings.
+- **require_partition_filter_assets** — queries over raw must be bounded (INV-O5).
+- **max_backfill_days**, **full_refresh_requires_approval**.
+- **temporary_dataset_ttl_hours**, **temporary_object_ttl_days**,
+  **composer_max_lifecycle_hours**, **log_retention_days**,
+  **release_retention_policy**.
+
+## Estimation-first enforcement (proven, $0)
+
+`python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard estimate` and `check-partition-filter`
+run a **dry-run first**, compare against the ceiling, and refuse over-limit
+execution before any spend. Proven live at $0 in
+`docs/evidence-sprint7/cost-guard-block.txt`: an unbounded `atlas_raw.events`
+scan is blocked by both the partition-filter guard and the estimate ceiling.
+
+## Lifecycle & retention
+
+- **Composer** — ephemeral; created for acceptance, torn down under
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN` (INV-L7).
+- **Log retention** — bounded by `log_retention_days`.
+- **Temporary resources** — CI datasets/GCS prefixes carry TTLs.
+- **Release retention** — validated releases retained per `release_retention_policy`.
+- **Operational evidence** — permanent audit tables cannot receive transient
+  retention (INV-G7); disposal is a validated dry-run plan.
+
+## Cost claims — proven vs not proven (honest)
+
+- **Proven:** dry-run performance baseline (all 9 queries << 1 GiB); partition
+  pruning (2.3 MB bounded vs 12.7 MB unbounded); $0 cost-guard block; negligible
+  permanent footprint at synthetic scale.
+- **NOT proven (BLOCKED):** the executed/billed performance suite requires
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS` (+ `ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES`); live
+  retention/expiration application requires `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION`.
+  See [unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md) RISK-03/04. We do **not** claim
+  production-scale cost/performance from a 50k-row synthetic dataset.

+# Evidence Index
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** reviewer, agent. Human-readable view of the
+machine-readable claim ledger
+[`governance/generated/evidence-index.json`](../../governance/generated/evidence-index.json),
+validated by `python -m atlas.reference.validate`. Every major claim maps to a
+path + evidence type + live/static/blocked status. The validator fails if an
+evidence path is missing, a claim id is duplicated, a LIVE claim has only
+documentation evidence, a blocked claim is presented as complete, or a
+verification commit is absent.
+
+## How to reproduce
+
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH=src                          # atlas.* modules live under src/
+python -m atlas.reference.validate             # manifest + evidence index
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static      # includes gate_reference_handoff
+```
+
+## Claim summary (30 claims)
+
+| status | count | claims |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| PROVEN_LIVE | 8 | ingest/load, WIF, release, alerting drill, incident, recovery, quality gate |
+| PROVEN_STATIC | 7 | CI, rollback ADR, logging, monitoring, lineage, governance SoT, cost block |
+| PROVEN_TEST | 8 | generation, dbt, orchestration, retries, schema check, migration immutability, impact, security, retention |
+| DRY_RUN | (within static) | performance baseline, cost block |
+| PLANNED | 2 | clean-clone (CLM-26), independent handoff (CLM-27) — recorded after runs |
+| BLOCKED | 3 | live IAM (CLM-28), billed perf (CLM-29), live retention (CLM-30) |
+
+## Live vs static (must stay separated)
+
+- **Proven live** (real cloud runs recorded in validation/incident reports):
+  immutable ingest, BigQuery load, WIF deploy, immutable release, alerting drill,
+  incident diagnosis, verified recovery, quality-gate block.
+- **Proven static / by tests** (offline gates + 269-test unit+Airflow gate,
+  240 unit / 29 Airflow, plus dbt tests):
+  generation determinism, dbt transforms, orchestration, schema compatibility,
+  migration immutability, lineage/impact, governance source-of-truth, security
+  scanners, retention validation.
+- **Dry-run ($0):** performance baseline, cost-guard block.
+- **Blocked (not executed):** live IAM reduction + tests, billed performance
+  suite, live retention application — see [unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md).
+
+The evidence index deliberately does **not** upgrade any dry-run or static claim
+to "live", and never marks a blocked claim complete.

+# Extension Points
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, agent. How to extend Atlas safely.
+Sprint 8 **documents** these; it does not implement them. For each: supported use
+case, files likely affected, invariants that must remain true, required tests,
+required documentation, required evidence, rollback considerations, and the
+common unsafe shortcut. Always follow the
+[agent-task-protocol.md](../handoff/agent-task-protocol.md).
+
+| Extension | Files likely affected | Invariants to keep | Tests | Unsafe shortcut to avoid |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| New batch source | `src/atlas/generator|ingestion`, `sources.yml`, `config/atlas.yaml` | D1, D2, D6, G1–G3 | ingestion + reconciliation | reusing `event_id` semantics blindly |
+| API ingestion source | new `src/atlas/ingestion/<api>.py`, source YAML, governance asset | D1, D2, D6, L1 | ingestion unit + contract | calling the API inside PR CI (breaks L1 credentialless) |
+| New dbt model | `dbt/atlas_dbt/models/**`, model YAML `meta.governance` | G1–G4, D6 | dbt tests + `gate_governance` | omitting `meta.governance` (fails gate) |
+| New fact | `models/core`, `core.yml`, baseline manifest | D5, G3–G5 | uniqueness + reconciliation | changing an existing fact grain |
+| New dimension | `models/core`, `core.yml` | G1–G3 | dbt tests | many-to-many join inflating fact |
+| New mart | `models/marts`, `marts.yml`, `consumers.yml` | G1–G3, lineage | dbt tests + `gate_lineage_impact` | reading raw directly, skipping layers |
+| New data-quality check | dbt tests / `assert_*`, `config/anomaly_profile.yaml` | D6, D7 | the check itself | asserting post-global-dedup for batch anomalies (INC-S6-001) |
+| New Airflow task | `dags/`, `src/atlas/batch`, `atlas_step_runner.py` | O1–O2, L4 | `dag_import` + airflow tests | task without audit/telemetry emission |
+| New alert | `observability/alerts/*.json`, `config/observability.yaml`, runbook | O6 | `observability_config` + `gate_reference_handoff` | alert with no runbook mapping (breaks O6) |
+| New recovery action | `src/atlas/ops`, `recovery_actions` migration | O3 | `test_recovery_actions.py` | marking SUCCESS without VERIFIED |
+| New failure scenario | `config/failure_scenarios.yaml`, `src/atlas/failure_injection` | O4 | `test_failure_injection.py` | enabling injection by default |
+| New governance asset | `governance/non_dbt_assets.yml` or dbt `meta` | G1–G3 | `gate_governance` | duplicating an asset in two sources (breaks G1) |
+| New schema version | `sql/migrations/NNN_*.sql`, `checksums.lock`, baseline | D8, G4–G5 | `gate_schema_compatibility` | editing an applied migration (breaks D8) |
+| New environment | `config/cost_controls.yaml`, deploy config | L1–L7, O5 | `gate_performance_cost` | copying prod creds into CI |
+| Future event-driven pipeline | new module + ADR | D1–D8 preserved for batch | new + regression | replacing batch semantics without an ADR |
+
+## Rules for every extension
+
+1. Required **documentation**: update the relevant reference doc + an ADR if a
+   real decision is made.
+2. Required **evidence**: add to the [evidence index](evidence-index.md) with the
+   correct live/static/blocked status.
+3. Required **rollback**: state how to revert; for schema, only additive/rollback-
+   eligible changes without a migration+approval.
+4. Confirm **no invariant** (see [architecture-invariants.md](architecture-invariants.md))
+   is silently broken; run `bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static`.
+
+A worked example for **API ingestion** is the independent-handoff assignment
+(item 12) — see [independent-handoff-assignment.md](../handoff/independent-handoff-assignment.md).

+# Interfaces and Contracts
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** engineer, agent. The stable boundaries a
+change must respect. Authoritative detail lives in the linked sources; this is
+the index of interfaces and where each is enforced.
+
+| Interface | Where defined | Enforced by | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Event schema | `config/atlas.yaml`, `src/atlas/generator` | generator tests | Atlas-specific (AC-01) |
+| File format (JSONL) | `src/atlas/ingestion` | ingestion tests | one event per line, immutable |
+| Storage paths | `src/atlas/ingestion`, loader | create-only upload | run-scoped, immutable (INV-D1) |
+| Raw-table schema | `sql/` DDL, `atlas_raw.events` | `sql_migrations` gate | partitioned/clustered |
+| dbt source boundary | `dbt/atlas_dbt/models/sources/sources.yml` | dbt parse + source tests | raw→dbt contract |
+| Transformation contracts | dbt model YAML `contract`/tests | `dbt_static`, `gate_governance` | per-model |
+| Orchestration command interface | `scripts/run_atlas_step.sh`, `atlas_step_runner.py`, DAGs | `dag_import`, airflow tests | step contract |
+| Audit-table interface | `sql/migrations/*`, `src/atlas/ops` | `sql_migrations`, `schema_compatibility` | `atlas_ops.*` schemas |
+| Structured-log event contract | `src/atlas/observability/logging` | `observability_config`, tests | correlation ids, redaction |
+| Monitoring configuration | `observability/{metrics,alerts,dashboards}` | `observability_config` | metric/alert schema |
+| Deployment bundle contract | `scripts/build_deployment_bundle.sh` | deploy validation | immutable bundle layout |
+| Migration contract | `sql/migrations/` + `checksums.lock` | `gate_schema_compatibility` | additive, immutable (INV-D8) |
+| Governance metadata contract | dbt `meta.governance` + `governance/*.yml` | `gate_governance` | required fields (INV-G1..3) |
+| Schema-compatibility inputs | `governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json` | `gate_schema_compatibility` | baseline vs candidate |
+| Lineage artifact inputs | dbt `ref()`/`source()` + `consumers.yml` | `gate_lineage_impact` | `governance/generated/lineage.json` |

+| Reference/evidence contract | `reference-manifest.yml`, `evidence-index.json` | `atlas.reference.validate`, `gate_reference_handoff` | Sprint 8 |
+
+## Contract-change rule
+
+Changing any interface above requires: (1) updating the definition **and** its
+enforcement together; (2) classifying the change via
+[schema-evolution-policy-sprint7.md](../schema-evolution-policy-sprint7.md) when
+it affects a schema; (3) a consumer-impact run
+(`python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset <id>`); (4) updating tests and the
+[evidence index](evidence-index.md). Never change a definition while leaving its
+enforcement or consumers stale.

+# Observability Model
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** operator, reviewer. Authoritative detail:
+[observability-runbook-sprint5.md](../observability-runbook-sprint5.md),
+[alert-catalog-sprint5.md](../alert-catalog-sprint5.md), ADR-011/012.
+
+## Layers
+
+- **Durable audit** — `atlas_ops.{pipeline_runs,task_events,quality_results,
+  monitor_evaluations,deployments,schema_migrations,recovery_actions}` (INV-O1).
+- **Logs** — structured JSON to the `atlas-events` log with correlation ids
+  (`pipeline_run_id`, `batch_id`), redaction, and truncation (INV-O2, INV-G8).
+  Exported to a linked BigQuery dataset (`atlas_logs`) via a sink.
+- **Metrics** — custom + log-based metrics (`observability/metrics/`), e.g.
+  `custom.googleapis.com/atlas/pipeline/last_success_age_seconds`,
+  `.../monitor/check_status`, `.../cost/bigquery_bytes_billed`.
+- **Alerts** — Cloud Monitoring policies (`observability/alerts/*.json`), each
+  mapped to a runbook section (INV-O6).
+- **Dashboard** — operational dashboard (`observability/dashboards/`).
+
+## Correlation & alert→runbook
+
+Every telemetry event carries correlation ids so a single run's story is
+queryable end-to-end (example query in [README.md](../../README.md) Sprint 5
+section). Every alert maps to a runbook procedure; `gate_reference_handoff`
+checks that alert definitions and runbook references stay consistent.
+
+## Known behaviors and limitations
+
+- **NO_DATA behavior** — some policies alert on absence (e.g. stale data); these
+  are environment-dependent and are disabled during controlled teardown.
+- **Composer customer-project task-log limitation** — task logs are not always
+  fully available in the customer project; mitigated by direct Cloud Logging
+  export set at environment-create time (`ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true`).
+- **Post-teardown behavior** — after ephemeral Composer teardown, environment
+  -dependent alerts are disabled and permanent resources (audit tables, log
+  bucket/sink/view, metric descriptors, non-environment alert policies,
+  notification channel, dashboard) remain valid. Recorded in
+  `validation-report-sprint6.md` §8.
+
+These are honest operational limitations, tracked in
+[unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md).

+# Operating Model

+| Change review | reviewer + CI | P0/P1 gate | [agent-task-protocol.md](../handoff/agent-task-protocol.md) |
+
+## Cadence
+
+- Every change: credentialless CI must pass; invariants confirmed.
+- Every deployment: immutable bundle → migrations → smoke → success/rollback.
+- Every incident: detect → contain → diagnose → recover → verify → prevent, with
+  durable audit and an incident report.
+- Every release: green CI on merged main → annotated tag on the exact SHA →
+  docs-only release-row follow-up.
+
+New operators start with [operator-onboarding.md](../handoff/operator-onboarding.md)
+and the [operator-first-hour.md](../handoff/operator-first-hour.md) checklist.

+# Public-Repository Extraction Review
+
+**Status:** CURRENT
+
+This standalone repository was extracted from the Atlas reference implementation.
+The public candidate was scanned for personal email addresses, private keys,
+service-account JSON, API keys, webhook URLs, bearer tokens, source sandbox
+identifiers, and real user data. No committed credentials or real user data are
+included. Runtime identities and GCP resource names use documented examples or
+environment variables.
+
+The extraction excludes the separate artifact-hosting product and raw drill
+evidence bundles that are not required by this data-platform template. Selected
+sanitized evidence remains where reference and regression gates require it.
+Historical reports do not prove that a new adopter has deployed this template.

+# Reliability and Recovery Model
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** operator, reviewer. Authoritative detail:
+[failure-catalog-sprint6.md](../failure-catalog-sprint6.md),
+[recovery-runbook-sprint6.md](../recovery-runbook-sprint6.md),
+[game-day-results-sprint6.md](../game-day-results-sprint6.md), ADR-013/014/015.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+```
+detect → contain → diagnose → recover → verify → prevent
+```
+
+- **Detect** — retries, dbt test failures, overlapping-run guards, cost-guard
+  blocks surface via `task_events`/`pipeline_runs`/telemetry.
+- **Contain** — failed runs publish no success marker (INV-L5); DAGs paused to
+  stop scheduler contention; cost guards block before spend.
+- **Diagnose** — root cause from `task_events`, `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS`, dbt
+  output, row-count queries. Correlated by `pipeline_run_id`/`batch_id` (INV-O2).
+- **Recover** — targeted repair (e.g. `QUARANTINE_BATCH`), not blanket full
+  refresh; recorded in `atlas_ops.recovery_actions`.
+- **Verify** — `validate_warehouse(<batch>)`; SUCCESS gated on `VERIFIED`
+  (INV-O3). Proven live: INC-S6-001 recovered + verified 10/10.
+- **Prevent** — documented follow-ups + regression tests + reusable controls.
+
+## Idempotency, replay, backfills
+
+- Exact rerun idempotent (INV-D3); within-batch dup vs cross-batch replay
+  distinct (INV-D4, ADR-006 amendment resolved Sprint 6 INC-S6-001).
+- Backfills deterministic (Sprint 3); global fact uniqueness preserved (INV-D5).
+
+## Fault injection & rollback
+
+- Fault injection disabled by default, gated (INV-O4, ADR-013).
+- Rollback checks schema compatibility (INV-L6, ADR-015); a failed deployment
+  cannot publish success (INV-L5).
+
+## Known gaps (→ [unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md))
+
+- Composer customer-project task-log limitation (Sprint 5) — mitigated by direct
+  Cloud Logging export.
+- Live game-day coverage is a representative subset; full live injection of all
+  56 catalog scenarios was intentionally not performed.
+- Synthetic 50k-row scale — reliability behavior is proven at that scale only.

+# Security and Identity Model
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** operator, reviewer, agent. Authoritative
+detail: [iam-review-sprint7.md](../iam-review-sprint7.md),
+[security-review-sprint7.md](../security-review-sprint7.md), ADR-009/018.
+
+## Identities
+
+| Identity | Type | Purpose | Auth | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Human operator | person | approvals, incident/release authority | Google account | approves `ATLAS_APPROVE_*` |
+| Cursor development identity | agent SA (read-mostly) | local/dev inspection, MCP | short-lived key in Cursor secret | least-privilege |
+| GitHub integration identity | SA | repository→GCP integration | **WIF (keyless)** | see excess note |
+| GitHub deployer | SA | deploy releases | WIF (keyless) | scoped to deploy |
+| Composer runtime | SA | Airflow execution | managed | ephemeral env |
+| Log sink writer | SA | export logs to BigQuery | managed | write to `atlas_logs` |
+| Monitoring/notification | managed | metrics, alerts, notify | managed | notification channel = operator email |
+
+## Boundaries and rules (enforced)
+
+- **Keyless WIF only** for GitHub→GCP; no service-account keys committed or
+  created (INV-L2). Enforced by `gate_security_policy` (`scan_managed_iam`).
+- No `roles/owner`, `roles/editor`, or broad Project IAM Admin. No weakening WIF
+  trust conditions. ADR-018.
+- Secrets never committed or written to evidence (INV-G8); enforced by
+  `secret_scan` + `scan_data_exposure` + `validate_public_extraction.py`.
+
+## Least-privilege status (honest)
+
+Reviewed in Sprint 7. One justified reduction candidate remains: the
+`atlas-github-integration` SA holds project-level `roles/bigquery.dataEditor`,
+broader than required. A scoped reduction plus positive/negative test plan is
+documented but **NOT executed** — it is BLOCKED on `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`
+([unresolved-risks.md](unresolved-risks.md), RISK-01/02). We do **not** claim
+complete least privilege without live permission-level evidence.
+
+## Public-extraction risks
+
+The operator email and private project id appear across configs and docs. These
+are cataloged with dispositions in
+`config/public_extraction_manifest.yml` + `scripts/validate_public_extraction.py`.
+The repository is **not** published during Sprint 8.

+# System Context
+
+**Status:** CURRENT · **Audience:** all · **Source of truth:** code + ADRs.
+This is a curated map; it links to authoritative sources rather than copying them.
+
+## Problem modeled
+
+Atlas models a **batch analytics platform for a synthetic event stream** (users
+performing actions across countries). The engineering problem — not the business
+domain — is the point: prove correct, governed, observable, recoverable batch
+data processing on GCP with reproducible evidence. Scale is deliberately modest
+(~50,000 events/batch); Atlas is production-*oriented*, not production-*scale*.

+## Actors and interactions
+
+- **Human operator** — approves gated mutations (`ATLAS_APPROVE_*`), owns
+  incident/recovery/release authority ([operating model](operating-model.md)).
+- **Coding agent** — implements changes via the [agent task protocol](../handoff/agent-task-protocol.md); bound by invariants and CI.
+- **GitHub** — runs credentialless PR CI; trusted workflows authenticate to GCP via WIF (no keys).
+- **Consumers** — internal only, registered in `governance/consumers.yml` (dashboard, monitor, reconciliation, alerting, analytics readers). External consumer discovery is out of repository scope (a known limitation).
+
+## System boundaries and external dependencies
+
+In scope: the `` ELT platform. Out of scope (separate lifecycle):
+External dependencies: Google Cloud (BigQuery, GCS, Composer, Logging,
+Monitoring, IAM/WIF), GitHub Actions, dbt (BigQuery adapter), Apache Airflow
+3.1.7. No streaming, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, CDC, or ML dependencies.
+
+See [architecture-overview.md](architecture-overview.md) for the data/control/
+operational/governance flows.

+# Template Extraction Record
+
+**Status:** CURRENT
+
+The Atlas reference implementation has been extracted into this standalone GCP
+production-data-platform template. Reusable CI, keyless delivery, migrations,
+recovery, observability, governance, schema, lineage, cost, and handoff controls
+are retained. Cloud projects, repository claims, service accounts, buckets,
+datasets, schedules, notifications, and cost ceilings are configuration.
+
+Extraction proves repository portability. Operational adoption still requires an
+isolated GCP deployment, a successful batch, a deliberate failure, targeted
+recovery, governance and observability checks, cleanup, and operator handoff.
+Each adopter must produce environment-specific evidence before making production
+readiness claims.

+- remain **BLOCKED** (RISK-01..04),
+- retain their exact execution plans (in

+- are **not** re-run and **not** weakened,
+- do **not** contribute any "complete" claim.
+
+If the approvals are provided later, execute only after the reference package and
+clean-clone path are stable, following the IAM/performance/retention legs
+described in the Sprint 8 prompt Phase 13. These are optional closure
+improvements, not automatic requirements for Sprint 8 completion.

+# Atlas Classification & Retention Policy (Sprint 7)
+
+Declares how long each category of Atlas data is retained and how it is
+disposed. Definitions live in `governance/classifications.yml` and
+`governance/retention.yml`; validation is enforced by `gate_governance`
+(`atlas.governance.retention.validate_retention_config`). See ADR-019.
+
+## Classification levels
+
+| Level | Meaning | Logging | Atlas use |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| PUBLIC | shareable, non-sensitive | none | `dim_countries` (synthetic reference) |
+| INTERNAL | operational, non-personal (default) | counts/ids only | events, models, audit tables |
+| CONFIDENTIAL | harmful if exposed (tokens, addresses) | sanitized, never verbatim, never committed | notification address (live only), sanitized errors |
+| RESTRICTED | real personal/regulated data | never logged, audited | **none present** (Atlas is synthetic) |
+
+## Retention classes and disposal
+
+| Retention class | Applies to | Expiration | Permanent evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `canonical_warehouse` | staging/intermediate/core/mart models | none (rebuildable) | no |
+| `raw_landing` | `atlas_raw.events`, raw bucket | none (source of truth) | no |
+| `operational_audit` | pipeline_runs, task_events, quality_results, monitor_evaluations, deployments, schema_migrations, recovery_actions | **never** | **yes** |
+| `observability_logs` | log bucket + linked dataset | 30 days | no |
+| `release_evidence` | immutable release bundles | keep validated | **yes** |
+| `temporary_integration` | CI/integration datasets | 1 day | no |
+| `test_fixture` | local generated artifacts | ephemeral | no |
+
+## Retention rules distinguish
+
+- **Canonical data** — indefinite, deterministically rebuildable; never auto-expired.
+- **Operational evidence** — permanent; CI forbids attaching an expiration.
+- **Temporary resources** — carry a mandatory disposal (dataset TTL / bucket
+  lifecycle).
+- **Release evidence** — validated releases retained.
+- **Test fixtures** — not persisted to cloud.
+
+## Enforced invariants
+
+- `policy.retention_classes` matches `retention.yml` keys exactly (no drift).
+- A `is_permanent_evidence` class cannot declare an expiration (conflict → CI fail).
+- A transient class (`observability_logs`, `temporary_integration`,
+  `test_fixture`) must declare an expiration.
+- Every governed asset references a defined retention class.
+
+## Disposal planning (dry-run)
+
+```bash
+python -c "import json; from atlas.governance.retention import plan_expirations; \
+  print(json.dumps(plan_expirations(), indent=2))"
+```
+
+Each asset resolves to `keep_forever` (permanent evidence / rebuildable) or
+`expire_<n>d`. A live applier asserts it never expires a `keep_forever` asset.
+
+## Live application (gated)
+
+Applying dataset/bucket expiration to temporary resources requires
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION=true`. Current live state (read-only check):
+`atlas_ops`, `atlas_core`, `atlas_raw` have **no** default table expiration
+(correct — permanent/rebuildable). No required evidence is deleted during
+Sprint 7.
+
+**Blocked gate:** live expiration application to a temporary CI dataset/bucket
+prefix is pending `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION`. The safe controls, the
+disposal plan, and validation tests are complete; only the live mutation is
+deferred. The gate is not weakened.

+# Project Atlas Sprint 2 Runbook
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Sprint 1 raw table populated: `example-gcp-project.atlas_raw.events`
+- GCP auth via `gcloud auth application-default login` or external service account key
+- Cloud Shell or approved agent environment with `gcloud`, `bq`, and Python 3
+
+## One-time setup
+
+Run from `~/Atlas-GCP-Build/project-atlas` on branch `cursor/atlas-sprint-2-dbt-warehouse-3660`:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Atlas-GCP-Build
+git fetch origin cursor/atlas-sprint-2-dbt-warehouse-3660
+git checkout cursor/atlas-sprint-2-dbt-warehouse-3660
+cd Atlas-GCP-Build
+export ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID=example-gcp-project
+export ATLAS_DBT_DATASET=atlas
+bash scripts/setup_dbt.sh
+```
+
+The setup script creates `.venv-dbt`, installs pinned dbt packages, writes `~/.dbt/profiles.yml`
+without printing credentials, and runs `dbt debug`.
+
+## Full warehouse build
+
+```bash
+source .venv-dbt/bin/activate
+bash scripts/run_dbt_sprint2.sh
+```
+
+Options:
+
+- `--full-refresh` — rebuild incremental models from scratch
+- `--skip-docs` — skip `dbt docs generate`
+
+## Validation and evidence
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/validate_dbt_sprint2.sh
+```
+
+Writes `logs/validation-sprint2-<timestamp>.json` with counts, anomaly totals, and gate status.
+
+## Incremental rerun (unchanged source)
+
+After a successful full build against the validated run:
+
+```bash
+source .venv-dbt/bin/activate
+dbt build --project-dir dbt/atlas_dbt --profiles-dir ~/.dbt --target dev
+dbt test --project-dir dbt/atlas_dbt --profiles-dir ~/.dbt --target dev
+```
+
+Expect no new rows when the raw source is unchanged.
+
+## Bounded backfill example
+
+```bash
+dbt run --select fct_events \
+  --project-dir dbt/atlas_dbt \
+  --profiles-dir ~/.dbt \
+  --target dev \
+  --vars '{"start_date": "2026-07-01", "end_date": "2026-07-14"}'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| `dbt debug` auth failure | Re-run ADC login or set `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` |
+| Freshness warning/error | Expected if raw data is stale; investigate ingestion schedule |
+| Singular anomaly test failure | Compare counts in `int_event_classification` against validated run scope |
+| Contract enforcement failure | Inspect schema drift in staging/core YAML contracts |
+
+## Security
+
+- Never commit `profiles.yml`, service account JSON, or `.env`
+- Scripts redact credentials from stdout
+- Live profile generation requires explicit environment variables only

+# Atlas Sprint 3 Runbook
+
+## Local setup
+
+```bash
+cd ~/Atlas-GCP-Build/project-atlas
+git checkout cursor/atlas-sprint-3-airflow-orchestration-3660
+export ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID=example-gcp-project
+source airflow/airflow.env.example
+bash scripts/setup_airflow.sh
+bash scripts/test_airflow_sprint3.sh
+bash scripts/start_airflow_local.sh
+# Cloud Shell: wait ~30s, then check DAG registration
+tail -f .airflow/standalone.log
+```
+
+Cloud Shell has no tmux; `start_airflow_local.sh` falls back to `nohup` and writes
+`.airflow/standalone.log`. Ensure `PYTHONPATH` includes `src/` and `dags/` (set in
+`airflow.env.example`).
+
+## Trigger a run
+
+Start Airflow before triggering. `run_airflow_sprint3.sh` waits for the DAG to register.
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_airflow_sprint3.sh \
+  --processing-date 2026-07-15 \
+  --batch-id atlas-20260715 \
+  --conf '{"upload_once": true}'
+```
+
+## Recovery
+
+| Scenario | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| Transient upload failure | Allow retry; verify audit row transitions to SUCCESS |
+| dbt test failure | Clear failed task after fixing; rerun with new pipeline_run_id |
+| Partial batch in raw | Investigate loader logs; do not clear without ops review |
+| Audit table missing | Re-run `ensure_audit_resources` via DAG or CLI |
+
+## Composer notes
+
+- Deploy DAGs separately from data/scripts.
+- Use environment service account with BigQuery + GCS permissions.
+- SQLite limitations apply locally only; Composer uses Cloud SQL metadata.

+# Project Atlas Runbook
+
+## Normal operation
+
+```bash
+cd Atlas-GCP-Build
+export PYTHONPATH=src
+export GCP_PROJECT_ID=example-gcp-project
+python scripts/run_pipeline.py --approve-provision
+```
+
+Expected outcome:
+
+- JSONL generated locally
+- GCS object created under run-scoped prefix
+- Rows loaded into `atlas_raw.events`
+- Validation overall status: `FAIL` (seeded anomalies present)
+- Acceptance anomaly detection checks: `PASS`
+
+## Approval gate
+
+Live GCP mutations require explicit approval:
+
+```bash
+export ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION=true
+```
+
+Without this variable:
+
+- `bootstrap_gcp.sh` exits with code `2`
+- `run_pipeline.py` exits with code `2`
+
+## Recovery procedures
+
+### Duplicate upload
+
+Symptom: upload returns `already_exists=true`.
+
+Action: inspect the existing object path in logs and either reuse the same
+`pipeline_run_id` for downstream load or generate a new run id for a fresh object.
+
+### Missing source file
+
+Symptom: generator output path missing.
+
+Action:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/generate_events.py
+```
+
+Re-run upload/load with the new local path.
+
+### Bad schema load failure
+
+Symptom: BigQuery load job fails.
+
+Action:
+
+1. Inspect load job error in Cloud Console or `bq ls -j --max_results=5`.
+2. Fix JSONL schema locally.
+3. Re-run with a new `pipeline_run_id`.
+
+### Duplicate run load
+
+Symptom: loader returns `already_loaded=true`.
+
+Action: this is expected for idempotent replays. Validation can be re-run safely:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/validate_events.py --run-id <run-id> --event-date <YYYY-MM-DD>
+```
+
+### Null IDs and bad timestamps
+
+Symptom: validation checks `null_user_ids`, `future_timestamps`, or
+`late_arriving_events` report `FAIL`.
+
+Action: for Sprint 1 this is expected. Confirm acceptance checks prove the seeded
+counts were detected.
+
+## Logs
+
+Structured JSON logs are written to:
+
+```text
+logs/<pipeline_run_id>.jsonl
+```
+
+Each step records:
+
+- timestamp
+- duration
+- status
+- rows processed
+- pipeline run id
+- source file
+
+## MCP troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/verify_mcp_access.sh
+```
+
+Common fixes:
+
+- Restart Cursor after editing `.env`
+- Run `gcloud auth application-default login` on desktop
+- Ensure `ATLAS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` is set for cloud agents
+- Confirm workspace root is `de-project-1`, not `project-atlas`
+
+## Manual verification queries
+
+```bash
+bq query --use_legacy_sql=false \
+'SELECT COUNT(*) AS row_count FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_raw.events` WHERE pipeline_run_id = "<run-id>"'
+```
+
+```bash
+gsutil ls gs://atlas-raw-events-example-gcp-project/raw/**

+# Atlas Schema Evolution Policy (Sprint 7)
+
+How Atlas schemas and contracts change safely. Enforced by
+`atlas.governance.schema_check` + `gate_schema_compatibility`. See ADR-017.
+
+## The workflow
+
+```
+1. Edit a model/table schema or governance meta.
+2. Regenerate the baseline manifest and run the checker:
+     python -m atlas.governance.schema_check --generate \
+       governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json
+     python -m atlas.governance.schema_check \
+       --baseline <old> --candidate governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json \
+       --output report.json
+3. Read the overall_class:
+     COMPATIBLE               -> bump minor contract_version, ship.
+     CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE -> add a change record + migration/dual-write plan.
+     BREAKING                 -> add an APPROVED change record; bump major.
+     PROHIBITED               -> stop; the change is not allowed as written.
+4. Commit the regenerated baseline (CI fails on drift).
+```
+
+## Compatibility classes (summary)
+
+| Class | Examples | CI |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| COMPATIBLE | add nullable field, widen enum, loosen nullability, new asset, metadata | passes |
+| CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE | add required field, type widening w/ evidence, dual-write, deprecation w/ replacement | passes **with** complete change record |
+| BREAKING | remove/rename field, type change, tighten nullability, change grain/partition/identity, narrow enum | fails without an **approved** change record |
+| PROHIBITED | unversioned change, contract downgrade, edit an applied migration, silent field reuse | always fails |
+
+## Change records
+
+Location: `governance/changes/<change_id>.yml` (template:
+`governance/changes/TEMPLATE.yml`). Required fields: `change_id`, `asset_id`,
+`old_contract_version`, `new_contract_version`, `compatibility_class`, `reason`,
+`owner`, `consumer_impact`, `migration_plan`, `backfill_plan`, `validation_plan`,
+`rollback_limitations`, `deprecation_window`, `approval_reference`.
+
+A BREAKING change must set `approval_reference` (e.g. an approval variable or PR
+approval id) and a `migration_plan`; otherwise CI blocks the merge.
+
+## Contract versioning
+
+`contract_version` is `major.minor`. A schema change with an unchanged or
+decreased version is PROHIBITED (unversioned replacement). Minor bump for
+COMPATIBLE changes; major bump for CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE / BREAKING.
+
+## Applied-migration immutability
+
+`sql/migrations/checksums.lock` pins each migration's SHA-256. Editing a shipped
+migration changes its checksum and fails `gate_schema_compatibility`. Add new
+migrations by appending both the manifest line and a lock entry (regenerate with
+the helper), never by editing an existing file.
+
+## Never against canonical data
+
+Breaking-change demonstrations use isolated fixtures only, gated by
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_BREAKING_SCHEMA_DEMO=true`. Canonical Atlas tables are never
+mutated to demonstrate a breaking change.

+# Atlas Sprint 5 Security Review
+
+Scope: the observability additions of Sprint 5 — structured logging, audit
+tables, log routing, linked dataset, metrics, alerting, dashboard, and the
+drills. Reviewed live on 2026-07-19 against project `example-gcp-project`.
+
+## Log content safety
+
+| Control | Evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| No secrets in structured events | `emit_event` builds from a fixed field allowlist; `error_message` passes through `sanitize_error_message` (the Sprint 4-audited sanitizer: strips bearer tokens, key material patterns, long opaque strings) and is truncated at 2 000 chars; `details` truncated at 4 KB. Unit-tested in `tests/unit/test_observability_logging.py` (redaction, truncation, non-serializable degradation). |
+| No raw event payloads | Only counts, ids, and bounded details fields are emitted; the event generator's payloads never enter telemetry. |
+| No full SQL text | Cost attribution uses job labels and `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` aggregates; `details_json` in audit tables stores summaries only. |
+| No environment dumps | The contract has no field capable of carrying `os.environ`; unknown fields are dropped (or rejected in strict mode). |
+| Live spot-check | Drill artifacts in `docs/evidence-sprint5/` were reviewed; the notification-channel evidence stores only the email domain, not the address. |
+
+## IAM evidence table (live `gcloud projects get-iam-policy`, 2026-07-19)
+
+| Principal | Roles | Purpose / justification |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `atlas-composer-runtime@…` | `roles/composer.worker`, `roles/bigquery.jobUser`, `roles/bigquery.dataEditor`, `roles/bigquery.resourceViewer` | Composer 3 runtime identity. `composer.worker` already includes `logging.logEntries.create` and `monitoring.timeSeries.create`, so **no new logging/monitoring roles were required** for structured emission or metric publication. `resourceViewer` was added during acceptance because the cost check reads `region-us.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` (needs `bigquery.jobs.listAll`); it is read-only metadata access. |
+| `atlas-github-integration@…` | `roles/bigquery.jobUser`, `roles/bigquery.dataEditor` | unchanged from Sprint 4 (isolated CI datasets); no Sprint 5 broadening |
+| `atlas-github-deployer@…` | `roles/bigquery.jobUser`, `roles/bigquery.dataEditor`, `roles/composer.user`, `roles/composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` | unchanged from Sprint 4; no Sprint 5 broadening |
+| `service-…@cloudcomposer-accounts` | `roles/composer.serviceAgent`, `roles/composer.ServiceAgentV2Ext` | Google-managed Composer service agent (standard) |
+| `service-…@gcp-sa-logging` | `roles/logging.serviceAgent` | Google-managed Log Router service agent — this is the sink writer identity for the `atlas-observability` bucket (intra-project sinks use the Logging service account; no custom writer identity was created) |
+
+No Owner/Editor/broad admin roles were granted to any Atlas identity. The
+Cursor development credential retains its pre-existing project access
+(documented since Sprint 4) and was used for drill fixtures.
+
+## Logging and Monitoring access boundary
+
+- The `atlas-runtime` log view exists for least-privilege consumption; access
+  is granted per-view via `roles/logging.viewAccessor` (no grants exist yet —
+  there are no third-party readers).
+- **Documented boundary expansion:** the `atlas_logs` linked BigQuery dataset
+  makes log entries readable to anyone with BigQuery read on that dataset,
+  bypassing Logging IAM. Mitigations: the dataset is read-only by
+  construction, no dataset-level grants were added, and the routed content is
+  contract-sanitized. This trade-off is accepted for queryability and
+  documented in ADR-011.
+- No unrestricted `roles/logging.privateLogViewer` grants exist.
+- Data-access audit logs for BigQuery remain enabled (pre-existing) and are
+  the largest log source; they contain identities and query metadata but no
+  Atlas payload data.
+
+## Notification and alerting safety
+
+- Single email channel, created only after the owner supplied the address
+  in-session (`ATLAS_APPROVE_ALERT_CHANNEL` flow); the address is not
+  committed anywhere in the repository — alert policy JSONs carry a
+  `${NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL}` placeholder that is resolved at apply time from
+  `ATLAS_NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID`.
+- Alert documentation fields contain runbook paths and bounded metric
+  descriptions; CI (`observability_config` gate) rejects committed channel
+  ids, secrets, or unresolved runbook anchors.
+- Test incidents carry only check names and threshold numbers.
+
+## CI and deployment boundary (unchanged from Sprint 4, re-verified)
+
+- Pull-request CI remains credentialless: `atlas-ci.yml` has no GCP
+  authentication and read-only workflow permissions.
+- Cloud mutations run only from trusted workflows/scripts behind WIF with the
+  dedicated deployer identity, or from the operator's session behind the
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_*` variables.
+- The deployment bundle excludes notification addresses, channel ids, drill
+  payloads, and evidence logs (`build_deployment_bundle.sh` allowlist; the
+  new `observability/metrics` and `observability/schema` assets are static
+  catalogs).
+
+## Residual risks
+
+1. The linked-dataset boundary expansion described above (accepted,
+   documented).
+2. `ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true` gives runtime code a direct write path
+   to Cloud Logging. The writer permission already existed via
+   `composer.worker`; the env var only activates client usage. Contract
+   sanitization applies to every event on this path.
+3. Drill-mode metric points share the alert policies with normal series
+   (deliberate — drills must prove the real policies). A malicious or
+   accidental publisher with `monitoring.timeSeries.create` could open false
+   incidents; acceptable in a single-operator development project.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Security Review
+
+Scope: the resilience additions of Sprint 6 — the controlled fault-injection
+framework, the recovery-action audit, cost guards, schema-version handling, and
+rollback compatibility. Reviewed live on 2026-07-19 against project
+`example-gcp-project`.
+
+## Fault injection is safe by construction
+
+The most security-sensitive addition is a framework that deliberately breaks
+things. It is fenced by a layered safety contract (ADR-013,
+`src/atlas/failure_injection/`), verified live and in CI:
+
+| Control | Evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Disabled by default | `cli run` REFUSED without `ATLAS_APPROVE_FAILURE_INJECTION=true` (live) |
+| Explicit scenario required | CLI errors if `--scenario` absent ("fault injection never runs implicitly") |
+| No implicit environment | CLI errors if `--environment` absent for `run`/`cleanup`/`status` |
+| Refuses scheduled/canonical/production contexts | `authorize_injection` rejects scheduled execution, canonical batch ids, and non-dev environments (unit-tested) |
+| Bounded by duration/cost | each scenario declares `maximum_duration_minutes`/`maximum_cost_usd`; `enforce_deadline` bounds the window |
+| Never an unattended destruction engine | `run` only authorizes and prints operator steps; it does not mutate cloud resources itself (CLI docstring + code path) |
+| Not hardcodable in production paths | `gate_failure_injection` CI gate proves injection cannot be silently enabled in production code |
+| Catalog integrity | `cli validate` = VALID; every scenario carries required fields, allowed categories/risk/mode, controlled recovery actions |
+
+## Recovery audit integrity
+
+- `atlas_ops.recovery_actions` records who/what/when for every recovery; `SUCCESS`
+  is refused unless `verification_status=VERIFIED` (`_validate`, ADR-014), so a
+  recovery cannot be marked done without evidence.
+- `error_summary` is passed through the audited `sanitize_error_message`
+  (strips bearer tokens/key material/long opaque strings) — no secret leakage
+  into the audit table.
+- Upserts are idempotent by `recovery_id`; re-running a recovery cannot fork the
+  audit history.
+
+## Cost guards as a safety control
+
+Cost guards are also a denial-of-wallet safeguard: `validate_backfill_window`,
+`require_full_refresh_approval`, `enforce_dry_run_ceiling`, and
+`guarded_query_config` block expensive operations unless an explicit approval
+variable is set, and emit `cost_guard_blocked` telemetry when they do. This
+prevents a mistyped date or an accidental full refresh from becoming a large,
+silent scan.
+
+## Schema-version handling
+
+`atlas.validation.schema_versions` rejects unknown schema versions and unknown
+fields (no silent coercion of untrusted payloads) and backfills explicit nulls
+for older versions — preventing malformed/ambiguous input from being accepted as
+valid (ADR-015).
+
+## IAM evidence (live `gcloud projects get-iam-policy`, 2026-07-19)
+
+No IAM changes were made in Sprint 6. Atlas identities retain exactly their
+Sprint 5 roles:
+
+| Principal | Roles | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `atlas-composer-runtime@…` | `composer.worker`, `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `bigquery.resourceViewer` | runtime identity; unchanged |
+| `atlas-github-integration@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor` | isolated CI datasets; unchanged |
+| `atlas-github-deployer@…` | `bigquery.jobUser`, `bigquery.dataEditor`, `composer.user`, `composer.environmentAndStorageObjectAdmin` | deploy identity; unchanged |
+| `service-…@cloudcomposer-accounts` | `composer.serviceAgent`, `composer.ServiceAgentV2Ext` | Google-managed |
+
+No Owner/Editor/broad-admin roles are granted to any Atlas identity. GitHub
+authentication remains keyless (Workload Identity Federation, Sprint 4). The
+QUARANTINE recovery used the development credential's pre-existing BigQuery
+access for the targeted `DELETE`s; it required no new roles.
+
+## Residual risks
+
+- The development credential retains broad project access (documented since
+  Sprint 4) and was used for recovery `DELETE`s. In a production model these
+  would run under a scoped recovery identity with `bigquery.dataEditor` on the
+  affected datasets only.
+- Fault injection is dev-only by contract; there is no production kill-switch
+  needed because the authorization chain refuses non-dev environments outright.

+# Atlas Security & Data-Exposure Review (Sprint 7)
+
+Validates that Atlas commits no secrets or sensitive data and that managed IAM
+definitions grant no prohibited roles. Enforced by `gate_secret_scan` (existing)
+and `gate_security_policy` (Sprint 7). See ADR-018 for IAM boundaries.
+
+## Scope
+
+Governed Atlas artifacts: `config/`, `governance/`, `observability/`, `scripts/`,
+`src/atlas/`, `sql/`, `dags/`, `docs/`. Out-of-scope trees
+(Sprint 8).
+
+## Checklist results
+
+| Check | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| No committed credentials (private keys, API keys, SA JSON) | PASS (`gate_secret_scan` + `scan_data_exposure`) |
+| No untracked credential files in the worktree | PASS (`gate_secret_scan`) |
+| No secrets in immutable release bundles | PASS (bundle build excludes credentials; ADR-010) |
+| No secrets in structured logs | PASS (field allowlist + truncation, Sprint 5) |
+| No secrets in audit error fields | PASS (`sanitize_error_message`, Sprint 4) |
+| No Authorization headers with literal tokens | PASS (`bootstrap_observability.sh` uses `Bearer $token` variable) |
+| No committed private webhook URLs | PASS (alert JSON uses `${NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL}` placeholder) |
+| No committed notification verification data | PASS (only placeholders committed) |
+| No real user data | PASS (all event data is synthetic via `generate_events`) |
+| No prohibited IAM roles in managed scripts | PASS (`scan_managed_iam` — 0 findings) |
+| No service-account key creation | PASS (keyless WIF only) |
+
+## Discovered gap → regression control
+
+- **Managed-IAM scanner:** new `scan_managed_iam` fails CI if any Atlas bootstrap
+  script ever grants `roles/owner`/`roles/editor`/`projectIamAdmin` or creates a
+  service-account key. This converts the ADR-018 prohibition into an enforced
+  regression test.
+- **Data-exposure scanner:** new `scan_data_exposure` fails CI on literal
+  secrets, Slack webhooks/tokens, literal bearer tokens, or personal email
+  addresses in governed artifacts, while explicitly allowing variable
+  references. Regression tests in `tests/unit/test_security_policy.py`.
+
+## Public-repository extraction risks (resolved in the template extraction)
+
+1. **Operator identity:** fixture actor/owner data was replaced with
+   `<operator-email>` before public extraction.
+2. **Project and pool identifiers:** source sandbox values were replaced with
+   documented examples or runtime configuration.
+3. **Notification recipient address:** remains external to Git and is configured
+   through the target environment.
+
+## Honest limitations
+
+- The scanners are pattern-based; they catch the known credential and
+  exposure shapes, not every conceivable secret format.
+- Each adopter must rerun the security and public-extraction gates against its
+  own configuration and deployment evidence.

+# Project Atlas Setup Guide
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Google Cloud project: `example-gcp-project`
+- Cloud Shell or local shell with Python 3.12
+- Cursor workspace opened at repository root `de-project-1`
+- Access to BigQuery and Cloud Storage in the sandbox project
+
+## 1. Clone and enter Atlas
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/de-project-1.git
+cd de-project-1/project-atlas
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+export PYTHONPATH=src
+```
+
+## 2. Configure credentials
+
+### Cursor Desktop
+
+```bash
+cp ../.env.example ../.env
+gcloud auth application-default login
+bash scripts/verify_mcp_access.sh
+```
+
+Restart Cursor and confirm **Settings → MCP** shows green for `bigquery` and `dbt`.
+
+### Cursor Cloud Agents
+
+1. Create a least-privilege service account in `example-gcp-project`.
+2. Grant:
+   - `roles/storage.objectAdmin` on the Atlas bucket
+   - `roles/bigquery.dataEditor` on dataset `atlas_raw`
+   - `roles/bigquery.jobUser` at project scope
+3. Store base64-encoded JSON in Cursor secret `ATLAS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY`.
+4. Re-run the cloud agent after secret injection.
+
+## 3. Bootstrap GCP resources (approval gated)
+
+```bash
+export ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION=true
+bash scripts/bootstrap_gcp.sh
+```
+
+This creates:
+
+- Bucket `atlas-raw-events-example-gcp-project`
+- Dataset `atlas_raw`
+- Table `events` partitioned by `event_date`
+
+## 4. Execute Sprint 1 locally
+
+```bash
+python scripts/generate_events.py
+pytest
+```
+
+## 5. Execute Sprint 1 against GCP
+
+```bash
+python scripts/run_pipeline.py --approve-provision
+python scripts/validate_events.py --run-id <run-id> --event-date <YYYY-MM-DD>
+```
+
+## Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `GCP_PROJECT_ID` | Sandbox project id |
+| `ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID` | Atlas override for project id |
+| `ATLAS_GCS_BUCKET` | Physical bucket name |
+| `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION` | Required for bootstrap and live pipeline |
+| `ATLAS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` | Base64 SA JSON for cloud agents |
+| `ATLAS_RANDOM_SEED` | Generator seed override |
+| `ATLAS_EVENT_COUNT` | Generator count override |
+
+## Verification checklist
+
+- [ ] `pytest` passes locally
+- [ ] `bash scripts/verify_mcp_access.sh` succeeds
+- [ ] Cursor MCP servers are green
+- [ ] Bootstrap completes with approval gate
+- [ ] Pipeline generates logs under `logs/`
+- [ ] Validation overall status is `FAIL`
+- [ ] Acceptance anomaly detection checks are `PASS`

+# Sprint 4 Plan — Production Deployment & Operations
+
+**Yes, you're ready to start Sprint 4.** Sprint 3 is merged, tagged (`atlas-sprint-3-complete`), and live-validated. The natural next step is moving from **local Airflow** to **managed Cloud Composer** with CI/CD — exactly what the Sprint 3 incident report deferred.
+
+---
+
+## Readiness gate
+
+| Prerequisite | Status |
+|---|---|
+| Sprint 3 merged to `main` | Done (`8aa1d7a`) |
+| Tag `atlas-sprint-3-complete` | Done |
+| Live acceptance (5 scenarios) | Done — all PASS |
+| Static tests (47/47) | Done |
+| Composer path contract documented | Done (ADR-005, preflight) |
+| Composer environment exists | **Not started** |
+| CI/CD for DAG deploy | **Not started** |
+| Monitoring / alerting | **Not started** |
+
+**Verdict:** Green to begin Sprint 4. No blocking debt from Sprint 3.
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 4 theme
+
+> **Deploy Atlas to Cloud Composer with automated CI/CD, observability, and a promotion checklist.**
+
+Sprints 1–3 built the pipeline. Sprint 4 makes it **operable in production**.
+
+The Artifact Platform is a parallel capability (already has its own Terraform + runbook). Sprint 4 focuses on the **batch ELT pipeline**, not artifact hosting — unless you explicitly want to unify them.

+
+## Workstreams
+
+### 1. Composer infrastructure (Terraform)
+
+
+- Composer 3 environment on image `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.12` (ADR-005)
+- Dedicated service account with least-privilege IAM (BigQuery, GCS, Composer worker)
+- Environment variables: `ATLAS_ROOT`, `ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID`, `DBT_PROFILES_DIR`
+- PyPI packages from `requirements-airflow.txt` via Composer `pypi_packages`
+- GCS bucket layout for DAGs vs. runtime data (per preflight contract)
+
+**Deliverables:** Terraform modules, `terraform.tfvars.example`, bootstrap script gated by `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION=true`
+
+---
+
+### 2. CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions)
+
+No `.github/workflows/` exist today. Add:
+
+| Workflow | Trigger | Steps |
+|---|---|---|
+| `atlas-test.yml` | PR + push to `main` | `pytest tests/`, `bash -n scripts/*.sh`, DAG import/parse tests |
+| `atlas-deploy-composer.yml` | Push to `main` (post-merge) | Sync DAGs → `/gcs/dags/project_atlas/`, sync scripts+dbt → `/gcs/data/` |
+
+**Key constraints:**
+
+- Deploy only changed paths (DAGs vs. data separately, per runbook-sprint3)
+- Use Workload Identity Federation or a GitHub secret for GCP auth (no SA keys in repo)
+- Fail deploy if `pip check` or DAG parse fails post-sync
+
+---
+
+### 3. Composer promotion checklist & runbook
+
+Formalize what Sprint 3 left as notes:
+
+- **Dev → staging → prod** promotion steps (or single-env for personal project)
+- Pre-deploy: version pin verification, ADR-005 image availability
+- Post-deploy: trigger smoke run (`atlas-$(date +%Y%m%d)`), verify audit row in `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`
+- Rollback: re-sync previous tag's GCS contents
+
+**Deliverables:** `docs/runbook-sprint4.md`, `docs/promotion-checklist-sprint4.md`, ADR-008 (Composer deployment topology)
+
+---
+
+### 4. Observability & alerting
+
+Leverage existing `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs` audit table:
+
+- Cloud Monitoring alert: pipeline run `FAILED` status within 15 min
+- Optional: log-based metric from Airflow task failure logs
+- Dashboard: batch success rate, rows loaded/accepted/rejected over time
+- Wire into existing `write_run_summary` finalizer output
+
+**Deliverables:** Terraform alerting resources, `docs/monitoring-sprint4.md`
+
+---
+
+### 5. Composer acceptance matrix
+
+Re-run Sprint 3's 5 scenarios against **Composer** (not local Airflow):
+
+1. Retry success (`upload_once`)
+2. Idempotent rerun
+3. dbt failure injection
+4. Historical recovery
+5. Fresh historical batch
+
+**Deliverables:** `docs/validation-report-sprint4.md` with Composer-specific evidence
+
+---
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- [ ] Composer 3 environment provisioned via Terraform (approval-gated)
+- [ ] GitHub Actions: test on PR, deploy on merge
+- [ ] DAG + data assets synced to Composer GCS paths
+- [ ] Smoke run succeeds; audit row `SUCCESS` in `atlas_ops.pipeline_runs`
+- [ ] All 5 acceptance scenarios pass on Composer
+- [ ] Alert fires on injected failure (scenario 3)
+- [ ] Promotion checklist documented and executed once
+- [ ] Tag `atlas-sprint-4-complete`
+
+---
+
+## Risks & mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Python 3.12 (local) vs 3.11.8 (Composer) | Existing parse-safety tests; add Composer smoke in CI |
+| Composer image retired | ADR-005 documents pin; add image availability check to deploy workflow |
+| GCP cost (Composer ~$300+/mo) | Use smallest env size; document teardown script |
+| GitHub → GCP auth | WIF preferred; fallback to Cursor secret pattern already used |
+| dbt profiles on Composer | Mount via GCS data path + `DBT_PROFILES_DIR` env var |
+
+---
+
+## Suggested implementation order
+
+```
+Phase A — Foundation (can start immediately)
+  ├── ADR-008: Composer deployment topology
+  ├── Terraform: Composer environment module
+  └── Manual first deploy script (deploy_composer.sh)
+
+Phase B — Automation
+  ├── GitHub Actions: atlas-test.yml
+  ├── GitHub Actions: atlas-deploy-composer.yml
+  └── Promotion checklist doc
+
+Phase C — Validation & ops
+  ├── Composer acceptance matrix (5 scenarios)
+  ├── Monitoring alerts + dashboard
+  └── validation-report-sprint4.md + tag
+```
+
+---
+
+## Open decisions (need your input)
+
+1. **Single Composer env or dev+prod?** For a personal sandbox, one env is fine. Say if you want two.
+2. **Scheduled vs. manual-only?** Sprint 3 DAG is manual-triggered. Sprint 4 could add a daily schedule — or keep manual until you're confident.
+3. **Artifact Platform in scope?** It's deployable separately today. Include in Sprint 4 only if you want a unified "Atlas platform" release.
+4. **GitHub Actions auth:** Workload Identity Federation (cleaner) vs. service account key secret (simpler, matches existing Cursor pattern)?
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Start Sprint 4 with **Phase A** — Terraform + manual deploy script + one Composer smoke run. That validates the hardest part (infra + path mapping) before wiring CI/CD.
+
+If this scope looks right, proceed with branch `cursor/atlas-sprint-4-composer-deploy-64a2`, ADR-008, and the Terraform scaffold. If you had a different Sprint 4 in mind (e.g. streaming, DEOS integration, data quality SLAs), reshape the plan accordingly.

+# Atlas Sprint 7 Context Pack
+
+Durable summary from the single Phase-0 repository scan. Use this instead of
+re-scanning; do targeted reads only. Paths are under ``.
+
+## Repository map (in-scope)
+
+- `src/atlas/` packages: `batch/` (identity, manifest), `config/` (settings),
+  `failure_injection/` (registry, framework, cli), `generator/` (events),
+  `ingestion/` (upload), `loader/` (bigquery), `logging/`, `observability/`
+  (checks, cost, cost_guards, logging, metrics, monitor, schema_drift),
+  `ops/` (audit, deployments, finalizer, migrations, preflight, quality_results,
+  recovery_actions, resources, rollback_compatibility, task_events),
+  `pipeline/` (orchestrator), `validation/` (checks, schema_versions, warehouse).
+- `dags/` — `atlas_batch_pipeline.py`, `atlas_observability_monitor.py`,
+  `atlas_orchestration/` (callbacks, commands, context, validation).
+- `dbt/atlas_dbt/models/` — `sources/`, `staging/` (stg_events),
+  `intermediate/` (int_event_classification, int_accepted_events,
+  int_rejected_events), `core/` (dim_users, dim_countries, fct_events),
+  `marts/` (mart_daily_event_metrics). Tests in `dbt/atlas_dbt/tests/`.
+- `sql/` migrations 001–008 (`manifest.txt`); ledger `atlas_ops.schema_migrations`.
+- `config/` — atlas.yaml, anomaly_profile.yaml, observability.yaml,
+  failure_scenarios.yaml.
+- `observability/` — alerts/, dashboards/, metrics/, queries/,
+  schema/expected-schemas.json.
+- `scripts/` — `validate_ci.sh` (gate framework), deploy/rollback,
+  `manage_atlas_alerts.sh`, `manage_atlas_composer.sh`, step runner, etc.
+- `docs/` + `docs/adr/` (ADR-002..015).
+
+## Key mechanisms to reuse (do NOT rebuild)
+
+- **CI gates:** `scripts/validate_ci.sh` → `run_gate <name> <fn>`; register in
+  the `static`/`integration` blocks. `skip_gate <name> <reason>` for SKIPPED.
+  Results JSON at `logs/ci/validate-ci-results.json`. Mirror in
+  `.github/workflows/atlas-ci.yml` (credentialless PR CI).
+- **Config validation pattern:** `gate_config_validation` /
+  `gate_observability_config` load YAML and assert structure in an inline
+  `python3 - <<'PY'`. New governance gates follow this.
+- **Cost guards:** `src/atlas/observability/cost_guards.py` —
+  `validate_backfill_window`, `require_full_refresh_approval`,
+  `enforce_dry_run_ceiling`, `guarded_query_config`, `estimate_query_bytes`,
+  `CostGuardViolation`, `emit_event`. Extend here; add `cost_guard estimate` CLI.
+- **Schema modules:** `src/atlas/validation/schema_versions.py`
+  (`SUPPORTED_SCHEMA_VERSIONS`, `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION=2`, `detect/normalize`),
+  `src/atlas/ops/rollback_compatibility.py` (`evaluate_rollback_compatibility`),
+  `src/atlas/ops/migrations.py` (`Migration.breaking`, checksum ledger).
+- **Audit:** `atlas.ops.*` (recovery_actions model is the template for durable,
+  validated, idempotent BigQuery upserts with `emit_event`).
+- **Settings/labeling:** `atlas.config.settings.load_settings`,
+  `labeled_bigquery_client(project, component)`.
+
+## Grain & duplicate facts (Phase 3 critical)
+
+- `generate_events` seed = `default_seed_for_date(processing_date)` → identical
+  event_ids for repeated dates.
+- `int_event_classification`: `duplicate_rank = row_number() over (partition by
+  event_id order by ingested_at desc, event_timestamp desc, source_file desc,
+  raw_record_hash desc)`; `is_duplicate_extra = duplicate_rank > 1` (GLOBAL).
+- `fct_events`: incremental merge, unique_key=event_id (global uniqueness).
+- Fix must distinguish within-batch dup / cross-batch replay / exact rerun /
+  conflicting dup / accepted canonical, preserve fct grain, keep 50 within-batch
+  extras detectable, keep exact rerun idempotent. Prefer batch-scoped duplicate
+  rank (option A) + replay classification (option B); confirm via ADR-017/an
+  amendment. Use fixtures, never canonical destructive tests.
+
+## Live baseline (2026-07-19)
+
+Composer: 0 envs. Datasets: 9 (atlas_*). Rows: raw.events 850k,
+core.fct_events 392,845, marts 2,804, ops.pipeline_runs 25, task_events 257,
+recovery_actions 1 (VERIFIED). Alerts: 8 ENABLED, data-stale + composer-unhealthy
+DISABLED (correct). GCP project `example-gcp-project`, location US/us-central1.
+
+## Governance decisions locked in preflight
+
+- ADR-016: dbt `meta` authoritative for models; `governance/` registry for
+  non-dbt assets; generated consolidated catalog. No triple maintenance.
+- Required asset fields: asset_id, asset_type, purpose, technical_owner,
+  business_owner_or_role, grain, source, consumers, classification,
+  retention_class, freshness_expectation, contract_version, lifecycle_status,
+  repository_path, runbook, last_reviewed.
+- Lifecycle: ACTIVE → DEPRECATED → REMOVAL_SCHEDULED → REMOVED.
+- Classification: PUBLIC / INTERNAL / CONFIDENTIAL / RESTRICTED.
+- Compatibility classes: COMPATIBLE / CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE / BREAKING /
+  PROHIBITED.
+
+## New Sprint 7 CI gates (planned)

+```
+
+## Source-of-truth hierarchy (reuse, do not duplicate)
+
+1. **Code + config** = ground truth for behavior.
+2. **dbt `meta.governance`** = model ownership/grain/classification/contract.
+3. **`governance/*.yml`** = non-dbt asset governance + policy vocab.
+4. **ADRs (002–020)** = decisions and rationale.
+5. **`validation-report-sprint{1..7}.md`** = evidence of claims (live vs static).
+6. Sprint 8 reference package = a **curated map** that links to 1–5, never a copy.
+
+## Canonical commands (verified)
+
+```bash
+export PYTHONPATH=src                                # atlas.* modules live under src/
+bash scripts/validate_ci.sh --mode static          # 21 gates, credentialless
+python -m atlas.governance.catalog check            # governance + drift
+python -m atlas.governance.lineage                  # lineage graph
+python -m atlas.governance.impact --asset fct_events
+bash scripts/run_performance_suite.sh               # dry-run baseline ($0)
+python -m atlas.observability.cost_guard estimate --sql-file <f> --project example-gcp-project --location US
+```
+
+Install for a clean clone: `pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-ci.txt`
+(the CI file provides yamllint + shellcheck so `workflow_yaml`/`shell_static`
+run instead of skipping). dbt: `bash scripts/setup_dbt.sh`. Airflow (optional
+local): `airflow/requirements-airflow.txt` (apache-airflow==3.1.7).
+
+## Key invariants to consolidate in Phase 4 (already true in code)
+
+- Raw artifacts immutable & run-scoped; `batch_id` = data identity;
+  `pipeline_run_id` = one execution; exact rerun idempotent.
+- `fct_events` grain = one row per `event_id`; within-batch dup vs cross-batch
+  replay distinguished (ADR-006 amend, Sprint 7 Phase 3).
+- accepted + rejected reconciles to raw; quality failure blocks publication.
+- Applied migrations immutable (`checksums.lock`); PR CI credentialless;
+  releases immutable; smoke gates success; rollback checks schema compat;
+  Composer ephemeral.
+- Governance metadata single source of truth; owners+grain required; schema
+  changes classified; breaking needs migration+impact; permanent evidence can't
+  get transient retention; secrets never in evidence.
+
+## Live vs static evidence (must stay separated)
+
+- **Live-proven:** Sprints 1–6 pipeline/deploy/recovery (BigQuery, Composer,
+  CI runs in validation reports); Sprint 7 dry-run perf baseline + $0 cost block.
+- **Static/test-proven:** Sprint 7 governance/schema/lineage/deprecation/security
+  gates (282 tests + offline gates).
+- **Blocked (not executed):** Sprint 7 live IAM reduction, billed perf suite,
+  live retention application.
+
+## Public-extraction hotspots (Phase 14 input)
+
+Personal email/name in ~35 files (alerts JSON notification channel, Sprint 4/5
+WIF/IAM docs, `bootstrap_github_wif.sh`, setup guides). Private project id
+`example-gcp-project`, bucket/SA/dataset names pervasive. No credentials,
+keys, or tokens committed (Sprint 7/8 secret_scan clean). No absolute local
+paths or conversation-context references in `docs/`.
+
+## Sprint 8 governance rules for its own artifacts
+
+- Reference docs carry a `reference-manifest.yml` entry with `last_verified_commit`.
+- Every major claim in the evidence index maps to a path + type + live/static.
+- Blocked work is labeled BLOCKED, never "complete".
+- One ADR only if a real decision is made (ADR-021 reference/handoff contract).
+- New gate reuses the `run_gate`/`in_group` framework; no YAML logic duplication.

+# Project Atlas Technical Design Review — Sprint 1
+
+## Objective
+
+Deliver a cloneable, operable, and recoverable batch ingestion pipeline that
+demonstrates senior data engineering competency without implementing future-phase
+components prematurely.
+
+## Architectural decisions
+
+### 1. Nested project inside `de-project-1`
+
+**Preferred because:** workspace-root MCP config must remain active for both Cursor
+Desktop and Cloud Agents.
+
+**Alternatives considered:** separate repository (cleaner ownership boundary) and
+replacing the current repo (would discard DEOS scaffold).
+
+**Tradeoffs:** two Python contexts and documentation overhead.
+
+**Evolution:** v0.3 adds dbt models under `transform/dbt`; v0.4 adds Airflow DAGs
+under `orchestration/airflow/dags` that invoke Atlas scripts.
+
+### 2. Python modules plus shell bootstrap scripts
+
+**Preferred because:** Cloud Shell-first execution with testable business logic.
+
+**Alternatives considered:** shell-only pipeline and notebook-driven prototyping.
+
+**Tradeoffs:** more files, but stronger testing and clearer ownership.
+
+**Evolution:** Airflow BashOperator or PythonOperator can wrap the same scripts.
+
+### 3. Run-scoped immutable GCS paths
+
+**Preferred because:** Sprint 1 requires history never be overwritten.
+
+**Alternatives considered:** date-only paths and object versioning alone.
+
+**Tradeoffs:** longer object keys and more listing noise.
+
+**Evolution:** backfill jobs can filter by `run_id` while retaining partition layout.
+
+### 4. Staging-table load into partitioned target
+
+**Preferred because:** explicit metadata enrichment and idempotent run replay.
+
+**Alternatives considered:** direct append load and external tables.
+
+**Tradeoffs:** one transient table per run.
+
+**Evolution:** dbt staging model replaces transient table logic in v0.3.
+
+### 5. Validation FAIL with acceptance anomaly detection
+
+**Preferred because:** seeded bad rows should not produce a false green quality gate.
+
+**Alternatives considered:** PASS when anomaly counts match profile and quarantine
+invalid rows in Sprint 1.
+
+**Tradeoffs:** operators must inspect acceptance checks, not only overall status.
+
+**Evolution:** dbt tests and expectations reuse `config/anomaly_profile.yaml`.
+
+## Security posture
+
+- No credentials committed to git
+- Cloud agent auth via Cursor secret `ATLAS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY`
+- Bootstrap and live pipeline gated by `ATLAS_APPROVE_PROVISION=true`
+- `.gcp/` ignored at repository root
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+- Unit tests for settings, generator, upload naming, and acceptance logic
+- Integration test for local generate-only pipeline
+- Acceptance tests for Sprint 1 repository layout and artifact generation
+- Failure simulation script for missing file and bad schema cases
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- No dbt, Airflow, Terraform, CI/CD, or monitoring in Sprint 1
+- Cloud agent MCP availability depends on Cursor secret injection and environment setup
+- Live end-to-end execution requires sandbox permissions and explicit approval
+
+## Validation report interpretation
+
+| Signal | Expected Sprint 1 result |
+| --- | --- |
+| Overall validation status | `FAIL` |
+| Row count / partition / schema checks | `PASS` after successful load |
+| Duplicate/null/invalid/future/late checks | `FAIL` |
+| Acceptance anomaly detection checks | Exact match to seeded profile |
+| `future_timestamps` | `event_date > CURRENT_DATE()` — future calendar date, not clock time |
+
+This is the intended professional posture: the pipeline detects bad data and
+reports failure, while automated acceptance proves the detector works.

+# Atlas Sprint 7 Token & Compute Efficiency
+
+Target: **55–75% of actual Sprint 6 agent consumption**. Exact token telemetry
+is not exposed to the agent, so proxies are tracked. Updated at closeout.
+
+## Efficiency strategy
+
+1. One comprehensive Phase-0 scan (done) → this + the context pack; targeted
+   reads afterward.
+2. Reuse existing controls (CI gate framework, cost guards, audit upsert
+   pattern, schema modules) — no parallel governance/lineage/security/cost
+   platforms.
+3. dbt manifest + repo artifacts for lineage (no graph DB / metadata service).
+4. Fixtures for all destructive/breaking demonstrations; canonical data never
+   mutated for theatre.
+5. One bounded live GCP window; Composer only if a control genuinely needs it
+   (preflight expectation: **not required** — governance/perf/cost/retention/IAM
+   provable via BigQuery + IAM APIs + isolated datasets).
+6. Focused independent review only for schema compatibility, IAM, performance
+   methodology, and final P0/P1.
+7. Dry-run before every cost experiment; hard byte ceiling enforced.
+
+## Proxy ledger (closeout)
+
+Exact token/request telemetry is not exposed to the agent; proxies below are the
+closeout values.
+
+| Proxy | Sprint 6 (reference) | Sprint 7 (closeout) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Full repository scans | several | 1 (Phase 0) |
+| Live Composer create/delete cycles | 1 (long) | 0 (Composer not required) |
+| Live deployment cycles | 2 (one false-negative rerun) | 0 (no Composer/deploy) |
+| Live GCP windows | 1 long acceptance window | 1 bounded, read-only + dry-run ($0) |
+| Failed acceptance reruns | baseline had to move dates | 0 |
+| Failed GitHub CI runs on branch | — | 1 (`secret_scan` flagged own fixture; fixed in `7f0eff6`) |
+| Major plan regenerations | — | 0 |
+| Human correction events | a few | 0 (autonomous; approvals gated, not corrected) |
+
+Interpretation: the dominant Sprint 6 cost drivers (a long live Composer
+lifecycle, two live deployment cycles, and multiple full scans) were all avoided
+in Sprint 7. Sprint 7 used one comprehensive scan, targeted reads, reused
+existing controls (CI-gate framework, cost guards, audit/upsert patterns, schema
+modules), and one bounded read-only + dry-run live window. On the proxy signals
+available, Sprint 7 consumption sits comfortably inside the 55–75%-of-Sprint-6
+envelope.
+
+## Scope-compression tripwire
+
+Not triggered. Projected work stayed under 75% of Sprint 6 consumption, so no
+compression was needed. The planned levers (defer performance *changes* while
+keeping the baseline measurement; reduce live demos to the highest-value
+enforcement proof) were unnecessary — and, independently, the gated live
+demonstrations (IAM reduction, executed performance suite, retention mutation)
+remained blocked on unset approval variables, which further bounded live spend.

+validation heavy, not implementation heavy: it curates existing evidence rather
+than building new platforms. Exact token telemetry is not exposed to the agent;
+proxies are tracked and updated at closeout.
+
+## Efficiency strategy
+
+1. One comprehensive Phase-0 scan (done) → preflight + this context pack; targeted
+   reads afterward.
+2. **Link, don't duplicate** — the reference package points to Sprint 1–7 docs,
+   ADRs, tests, and validation reports instead of re-prosing them.
+3. One navigational reference package; one focused handoff CI gate
+   (`gate_reference_handoff`) — not many unrelated gates.
+4. Fresh directories for clean-clone reproduction; one independent handoff
+   subagent (only repo + START_HERE + assignment).
+5. No Composer, no billed BigQuery, no IAM/retention mutation unless the
+   corresponding approval variable is present.
+6. Reuse existing diagrams/text-diagrams; regenerate only if materially wrong.
+7. Record human interventions during handoff testing honestly.
+
+## Proxy ledger (updated through the sprint)
+
+| Proxy | Sprint 7 (reference) | Sprint 8 (actual) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Full repository scans | 1 | 1 (Phase 0) + targeted reads |
+| Composer create/delete cycles | 0 | **0** |
+| Live deployment cycles | 0 | **0** |
+| Billed BigQuery workloads | 0 (dry-run only) | **0** |
+| Live GCP windows | 1 bounded read-only/dry-run | **0** (no approvals set) |
+| New CI gates added | 5 | **1** (`gate_reference_handoff`) |
+| Independent handoff runs | — | 1 (scored 29/30) |
+| Clean-clone attempts | — | 2 (attempt 1 found defect, attempt 2 PASS) |
+| Failed onboarding steps repaired | — | 2 (PYTHONPATH=src; PEP 668 venv) |
+| Major plan regenerations | 0 | **0** |
+| Human correction events | 0 | 0 (tester self-resolved friction) |
+
+Model: Opus 4.8. Harness: Cursor Cloud Agent. Cloud operations: 0 mutating,
+0 billed. Composer cycles: 0. The envelope target (50–65% of Sprint 7) was met:
+Sprint 8 was documentation/validation work with no cloud provisioning, one new
+gate, and a single independent handoff subagent.
+
+## Scope-compression tripwire
+
+If projected work approaches **75% of Sprint 7** consumption, stop and propose
+compression: e.g., collapse the five operating/security/reliability/observability/
+cost model docs into fewer files that link harder to existing runbooks; reduce
+the handoff to the single highest-value independent assignment; defer the
+optional read-only GCP leg. Recorded here if triggered.

+## Partition reconciliation
+
+```text
+49,550 rows on primary event_date (2026-07-14)
++   300 late-arriving rows (event_date earlier than timestamp date)
++   150 future-dated rows (event_date > generation date)
+= 50,000 total loaded rows
+```
+
+Note: late-arriving and future-dated rows are seeded on distinct indices in Sprint 1.
+
+## Future timestamp semantics
+
+Sprint 1 defines a future-dated anomaly as:
+
+```sql
+event_date > CURRENT_DATE()
+```
+
+This measures future **calendar dates**, not timestamps later than the validation clock.
+
+## Overall result
+
+- Validation overall status: `FAIL` (expected for seeded raw anomalies)
+- Acceptance anomaly detection status: `PASS` after validator fix
+- Log file: `logs/atlas-20260714T163527Z-19a0e4f6.jsonl`
+
+## Notes
+
+Initial live run exposed two issues that were corrected before archival:
+
+1. JSONL included `ingested_at` before load-time enrichment.
+2. Future timestamp validation used clock-time comparison and over-counted same-day rows.
+
+Both were fixed on branch `cursor/project-atlas-sprint1-3660`.

+
+## Notes
+
+Sprint 1 terminology called 300 rows "late_arriving_events" using
+`event_date < DATE(event_timestamp)`. Sprint 2 reclassifies those rows as backdated declared
+dates. See [ADR-003](adr/ADR-003-corrected-temporal-semantics.md).
+
+Singular anomaly test counts physical invalid-country rows (`NOT is_valid_country`), not
+terminal `rejection_reason`, because null-user precedence suppresses some invalid-country
+rejections while the physical defect remains.

+# Atlas Sprint 3 Validation Report
+
+## Static validation (Cloud Agent)
+
+| Gate | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| Unit + airflow tests (`pytest tests/`) | **47/47 PASS** |
+| Shell syntax (`bash -n scripts/*.sh`) | PASS |
+| DAG parse helpers (no network at import) | PASS |
+| Composer path configuration tests | PASS |
+
+## Live acceptance results (Cursor Cloud Agent — 2026-07-18)
+
+Executed against GCP project `example-gcp-project` using the injected
+`ATLAS_GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` service account and a local Airflow 3.1.7
+standalone. Root-cause fixes were required before any run progressed past the
+first task (see "Diagnosed defects" below).
+
+| # | Scenario | conf | Airflow run_id suffix | Audit status | Result |
+|---|----------|------|-----------------------|--------------|--------|
+| 1 | Retry success | `{processing_date:2026-07-18, batch_id:atlas-20260718, upload_once:true}` | `s1-20260718T170705Z` | `SUCCESS` | **PASS** — upload failed try 1, retried and succeeded, full dbt build + reconciliation green |
+| 2 | Idempotent rerun | `{processing_date:2026-07-18, batch_id:atlas-20260718}` | `s2-idem-20260718T171453Z` | `SUCCESS` | **PASS** — GCS + raw load skipped (`already_loaded: true`); raw count stayed 50000 (not doubled) |
+| 3 | dbt failure injection | `{processing_date:2026-07-01, batch_id:atlas-20260701, dbt_test_failure:true}` | `s3-dbtfail-20260718T171838Z` | `FAILED` | **PASS** — dbt build failed, no success marker, finalizer raised, audit `FAILED`; backfill freshness skipped |
+| 4 | Historical recovery | `{processing_date:2026-07-01, batch_id:atlas-20260701}` | `s4b-recovery-20260718T180023Z` | `SUCCESS` | **PASS** (after temporal-semantics fix) — raw load skipped, dbt build 79/79, audit `SUCCESS` |
+| 5 | Fresh historical batch | `{processing_date:2026-07-16, batch_id:atlas-20260716}` | `s5-freshhist-20260718T180320Z` | `SUCCESS` | **PASS** — native load wrote `processing_date` (50000 rows, 0 null); classified reproducibly |
+
+Idempotency evidence (`atlas_raw.events`): batch `atlas-20260718` = **50000 rows,
+1 distinct pipeline_run_id** after two runs.
+
+Before/after for the temporal-semantics fix (same historical batch): scenario 4
+was `FAILED` at `s4-recovery-...T172222Z`, then `SUCCESS` at
+`s4b-recovery-...T180023Z` after the fix below.
+
+## Diagnosed defects (fixed in this branch)
+
+Every task initially failed. Root causes, all verified empirically against GCP:
+
+1. **`run_atlas_step.sh` `${2:-{}}`** (primary) — bash parsed the default value as
+   `{` plus a literal trailing `}`, appending a stray `}` to the JSON run context,
+   so `json.loads` raised `Extra data` in **every** task. Replaced with an explicit
+   default.
+2. **`ops/audit.py` `_param_type(None)`** returned `STRING` for INT64 columns, so
+   the audit MERGE failed (`Value of type STRING cannot be assigned … INT64`),
+   blocking `start_run_audit`. Nullable numeric fields are now typed `INT64`.
+3. **`ops/preflight.py`** used a broken `__import__(...).bigquery.Client` expression
+   that always raised `AttributeError`, forcing preflight to `FAIL`. Replaced with a
+   proper `from google.cloud import bigquery` import.
+4. **`atlas_step_runner.py` / `airflow.env.example`** default GCS bucket name was
+   missing `-events-`. Corrected.
+
+## Resolved finding — historical backfills vs. anomaly profile
+
+Originally, `assert_source_anomaly_profile` hard-asserted `future_dated=150`,
+`event_time_late=0`, `backdated=300` — counts derived from `stg_events` flags
+computed relative to wall-clock `ingested_at`. They were only reproducible for
+same-day ingestion, so historical recovery (scenario 4) failed and, more
+importantly, event classification itself was load-time dependent.
+
+**Fix (option b + stopgap a), verified live:**
+- **(b)** Added a nullable `processing_date` column to `atlas_raw.events`
+  (persisted by the loader) and switched the three temporal flags to
+  `COALESCE(processing_date, DATE(ingested_at))`. Backfills now classify
+  identically to the original run. See ADR-003 "Sprint 3 refinement".
+- **(a)** `assert_source_anomaly_profile` asserts the temporal counts only when
+  every scoped row has `processing_date`, degrading gracefully for legacy rows.
+
+Result: scenario 4 recovered `FAILED`→`SUCCESS`; a fresh historical batch
+(`atlas-20260716`) loaded with native `processing_date` and passed 79/79.
+
+## Live acceptance matrix (original Cloud Shell design)
+
+Execute in `~/Atlas-GCP-Build/project-atlas` after merging Sprint 3:
+
+### 1. Retry success (`upload_once`)
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_airflow_sprint3.sh \
+  --processing-date $(date -u +%F) \
+  --batch-id atlas-$(date -u +%Y%m%d) \
+  --conf '{"upload_once": true}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** upload try 1 fails, try 2 succeeds, audit `SUCCESS`, run-summary reconciled.
+
+### 2. Idempotent rerun (same batch, new pipeline run)
+
+Re-trigger the same `--batch-id` with a new `--run-id`.
+
+**Expected:** GCS skip, raw load skip, new audit row, zero fact/mart drift.
+
+### 3. dbt failure (`dbt_test_failure`)
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/run_airflow_sprint3.sh \
+  --processing-date 2026-07-01 \
+  --batch-id atlas-20260701 \
+  --conf '{"dbt_test_failure": true}'
+```
+
+**Expected:** dbt build fails, no success marker, audit `FAILED`.
+
+### 4. Historical recovery
+
+Re-run batch `atlas-20260701` without injection.
+
+**Expected:** raw skip, successful backfill, freshness skipped, audit `SUCCESS`.
+
+## Evidence (Cursor Cloud Agent — 2026-07-18, project `example-gcp-project`)

+# Sprint 4 Validation Report — Live Acceptance Evidence
+
+Evidence-backed record of the Sprint 4 acceptance sequence (Phase 19).
+Nothing below is claimed from static files alone; every row cites an
+executed run, an audit record, or a preserved log.
+
+Companion documents: `architecture-sprint4.md` (design),
+`incident-report-sprint4.md` (gate demos + defect ledger),
+`deployment-catalog-sprint4.md` (resource inventory),
+`ci-cd-runbook-sprint4.md` (operator commands),
+`ci-cd-governance-sprint4.md` (GitHub plan limitations).
+
+## 1. Executive result
+
+A clean Project Atlas change moved from an agent-created Git branch through
+independent GitHub CI, keyless WIF authentication, an isolated integration
+test, an immutable checksum-verified bundle, audited additive migrations, a
+real Composer 3 deployment (`composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`), a 50 000-row
+smoke batch with full warehouse reconciliation, a durable deployment audit
+row, a deliberately failed defective deployment, and a live rollback that
+restored and re-validated the prior release — with no manual code copying, no
+stored service-account keys in GitHub, and no unverifiable runtime state.
+The Composer environment was deleted immediately after evidence capture per
+the ephemeral cost mandate (ADR-010).
+
+## 2. Git and CI evidence
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Foundation PR | #14 (squash-merged `21d54ed`) — clean CI on run `29660771549` |
+| Gate-demo PR | #15 (closed unmerged by design) — 4 deliberate failures, run IDs in `incident-report-sprint4.md` |
+| Delivery PR | #16, branch `cursor/atlas-sprint-4-delivery-64a2` |
+| Defect-demo branch | `cursor/atlas-sprint-4-defect-demo-64a2` @ `1af166e` (never merged; exists only as an immutable release for the rollback demo) |
+
+## 3. Keyless authentication (WIF)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Pool / provider | `atlas-github-pool` / `atlas-github-provider` (OIDC issuer `token.actions.githubusercontent.com`) |
+| Trust condition | repository owner + exact repository `YOUR_GITHUB_OWNER/YOUR_REPOSITORY` + ref restriction |
+| Identities | `atlas-github-integration` (isolated CI resources), `atlas-github-deployer` (deploy path) |
+| Keys stored in GitHub | none — `id-token: write` + impersonation only |
+
+IAM matrix and documented-risk notes: `ADR-009-workload-identity-federation.md`.
+
+## 4. Isolated integration test (Phase 7)
+
+`validate_gcp_integration.sh` executed live: run-scoped datasets
+(`atlas_ci_<run>_…`) and GCS prefix, deterministic generation verified
+byte-identical (after fixing defect D3), idempotent raw loading, dbt build
+against isolated schemas, batch-scoped reconciliation, verified cleanup in an
+always-running trap. No canonical dataset was written.
+
+## 5. Deployment bundle (Phase 8)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Released bundle (final) | `gs://atlas-deployments-example-gcp-project/atlas/releases/640cd78694a90275866bebbaf7550ee121fff79b/atlas-bundle.tar.gz` |
+| Archive SHA-256 | `aaa83bc1578057e8f88b38f68aa9785a956099538f6ebf7aa69936c6575e6e7c` |
+| Manifest | 314 files with per-file SHA-256, tool pins, `required_schema_version=003_create_deployments_table` |
+| Immutability | create-only upload; content-identical retry reuses, different content fails |
+
+## 6. Migrations (Phase 9)
+
+Ledger `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` (all applied idempotently; reruns skip):
+
+| migration_id | checksum (first 12) | status | applied_at (UTC) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `001_create_pipeline_runs_table` | `5fb06a83e1b3` | APPLIED | 2026-07-18 22:13:45 |

+| `003_create_deployments_table` | `d581c625ad1e` | APPLIED | 2026-07-18 22:13:52 |
+
+## 7. Composer deployment (Phases 12–13)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Environment | `atlas-dev`, us-central1, `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`, small |
+| Lifecycle | created ~22:05 UTC 2026-07-18, **deleted** ~01:35 UTC 2026-07-19 after evidence capture (ephemeral policy, ADR-010) |
+| Successful deployment | `atlas-dev-20260719T005308Z-640cd786` → **SUCCESS** |
+| Deployed SHA | `640cd78694a90275866bebbaf7550ee121fff79b` |
+| Smoke DAG run | `smoke__atlas-dev-20260719T005308Z-640cd786` → Airflow terminal `success` |
+| Smoke pipeline run | `atlas-smoke-640cd786-local1784422388-run` → `pipeline_runs.status=SUCCESS` (00:58:18 UTC) |
+| Smoke validation | 12/12 checks PASS (dag import, no import errors, deployed SHA, terminal success, 50 000 raw rows, no duplicate load, GCS object, manifest, success marker, warehouse reconciliation, pipeline_runs, deployments row) |
+
+Reaching SUCCESS took seven audited attempts; each failure exposed and fixed
+a real defect (checksum-by-filename, Composer sys.path parity, stale import
+errors, missing vendored dbt packages, Airflow 3 state parsing, rsync vs
+deterministic mtimes). Full ledger: `incident-report-sprint4.md`.
+
+## 8. Deliberate failed deployment + live rollback (Phases 14/16)
+
+| Step | Evidence |
+|---|---|

+```
+
+One row per attempt, controlled statuses, sanitized errors, rollback linked
+to the SHA it replaced — exactly the Phase 10 contract.
+
+## 10. Cost review
+
+Composer small environment existed ~3.5 hours (creation → deletion), the
+only meaningfully billable Sprint 4 resource. Remaining permanent resources
+scale to zero: versioned deployment bucket (KB–MB scale), 7-day-TTL CI
+bucket, BigQuery ops tables (MB scale), service accounts and WIF (free).
+
+## 11. Honest limitations
+
+- Branch protection / required reviewers unavailable on the GitHub Free
+  plan; fallback governance documented in `ci-cd-governance-sprint4.md` and
+  ADR-010. Completion gate 7 is satisfied via the documented-limitation arm.
+- The successful deployment evidence was captured by executing the same
+  repository scripts the GitHub workflows call (`deploy_atlas_release.sh`,
+  `validate_atlas_deployment.sh`, `rollback_atlas.sh`) from the agent
+  environment with ADC, because Composer create/delete cycles are gated on
+  cost approval and the ephemeral environment was deleted after capture. The
+  workflows themselves are exercised for auth and validation; a future
+  GitHub-initiated deploy run requires only re-creating the environment
+  (`manage_atlas_composer.sh create`) and dispatching `atlas-deploy.yml`.
+- Composer worker logs did not surface in Cloud Logging during the capture
+  window; failure diagnosis used the Airflow REST API, task-state listings,
+  and BigQuery audit logs instead. Recorded as a Sprint 5 observability
+  handoff item.
+- The dbt warehouse rebuilds intermediate/fact tables scoped to the
+  validated batch per run (Sprint 2 design), so cross-batch history in
+  those tables reflects the newest build; per-run validation is performed at
+  smoke time. Durable per-run evidence lives in `atlas_ops`.
+
+## 12. Sprint 5 handoff (observability and alerting — requirements only)
+
+Recorded per the Sprint 4 charter; none of this was implemented in Sprint 4:
+
+- Centralized structured task logs — Composer worker logs did not surface in
+  Cloud Logging during the Sprint 4 capture window (limitation above); Sprint 5
+  must make task logs durably queryable before anything else.
+- Pipeline and data freshness metrics (batch latency, last-success age per DAG).
+- Failure alerts on `pipeline_runs.status=FAILED` and
+  `deployments.status IN (FAILED, ROLLBACK_FAILED)`.
+- Volume and schema monitoring (row-count drift per batch, schema-change detection
+  against the migration ledger).
+- Operational dashboards over `atlas_ops` (runs, deployments, migrations).
+- On-call and escalation rules; incident-recovery drill cadence.
+- SLO and error-budget candidates (smoke-run duration, deploy lead time,
+  batch success rate).
+- Stale-data detection (no successful batch within an expected window).
+- Cost anomaly detection (Composer create/delete discipline, BigQuery scan
+  volume, bucket growth).

+# Atlas Sprint 5 Validation Report — Observability, Alerting, Incident Readiness
+
+All claims below are backed by live execution on 2026-07-19 in project
+`example-gcp-project` (evidence artifacts in `docs/evidence-sprint5/`), by
+GitHub CI runs, or by unit/acceptance tests in this repository. Anything not
+proven is listed under "Unresolved limitations".
+

+
+## 2. Deployed releases during acceptance
+
+| Release SHA | Deployment id | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `8fe17dc` | `atlas-dev-20260719T042641Z-8fe17dcd` | SUCCESS (first Sprint 5 candidate; exposed smoke re-validation defect, fixed in `ba16f3c`) |
+| `ba16f3c` | `atlas-dev-20260719T045055Z-ba16f3cd` | SUCCESS — 12/12 smoke checks (Drill A batch, 50 000 rows) |
+| `2109310` | `atlas-dev-20260719T061802Z-2109310b` | SUCCESS — 12/12 smoke checks; carries the two acceptance fixes |
+
+Composer environment: `atlas-dev`, `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`,
+us-central1, SMALL, runtime SA `atlas-composer-runtime@…`. Both DAGs
+(`atlas_batch_pipeline`, `atlas_observability_monitor`) parse with zero
+import errors.
+
+Lifecycle (ephemeral policy, ADR-010): created 2026-07-19T03:44:08Z, deleted
+2026-07-19T07:37:56Z (≈ 3.9 h). Teardown sequence: both DAGs paused →
+environment-dependent alerts disabled (`Atlas: Composer environment
+unhealthy`, `Atlas: data stale`) → drill series reset to PASS → environment
+deleted → orphaned Composer bucket removed → verified no incident opened
+after teardown (zero `ViolationOpen` events post-07:10Z). Permanent
+observability resources (log bucket/sink/view, linked dataset, metric
+descriptors, alert policies, channel, dashboard, audit tables) remain
+valid.
+
+## 3. Observability planes (ADR-011) — live evidence
+
+### Plane 1 — Operational audit (BigQuery)
+
+- Migrations `004_create_task_events_table`, `005_create_quality_results_table`,
+  `006_create_monitor_evaluations_table`: APPLIED in the
+  `atlas_ops.schema_migrations` ledger (checksums recorded).
+- `task_events`: 74 rows captured for the three drill/smoke runs alone
+  (`task-events-drills.json`) — STARTED/SUCCESS/FAILED/UPSTREAM_FAILED at
+  (run, task, attempt, event) grain; retry-then-success distinguishable;
+  repeated callbacks idempotent (unit-tested MERGE).
+- `quality_results`: 20 rows for the drill runs (`quality-results-drills.json`)
+  — `validate_warehouse` now persists real batch-scoped reconciliation
+  results instead of printing PASS.
+- `monitor_evaluations`: 91 rows during the window
+  (`monitor-evaluations.json`), including drill-fixture rows explicitly
+  tagged `source=atlas_drill_fixture`.
+
+### Plane 2 — Logs (Cloud Logging)
+
+- Dedicated bucket `atlas-observability` (us-central1, 30-day retention,
+  analytics enabled), sink `atlas-observability-sink` (additive; `_Default`
+  untouched), view `atlas-runtime`, linked read-only dataset `atlas_logs`
+  (`log-routing-live.json`).
+- Structured contract events flow live: 20 correlated entries for the Drill B
+  run retrievable by one `jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id` filter
+  (`drillb-correlated-logs.json`); the same entries are queryable through the
+  linked dataset via SQL (15 rows returned in the verification query).
+- **Platform defect (open):** Composer 3 `build.13` exports no Airflow
+  component logs (worker/scheduler/task streams) to the customer project —
+  reproduced from Sprint 4 and now root-cause-bounded: no `airflow-*` log
+  names exist in any bucket including `_Default`; a manual `entries.write` to
+  the identical logName/resource succeeds and routes correctly through both
+  buckets; Composer's own task-log reader returns "Logs not found"; no
+  org-policy/quota/IAM/exclusion cause exists in the project; a workload
+  restart did not recover it. Mitigation shipped: `ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true`
+  makes every Atlas contract event write directly to logName `atlas-events`
+  (never-raise, allowlist + sanitizer enforced), restoring queryable
+  task-level telemetry. Raw Airflow stdout remains unavailable on this build.
+
+### Plane 3 — Metrics and incidents (Cloud Monitoring)
+
+- 15 custom descriptors under `custom.googleapis.com/atlas/...`; live series
+  with real values for all pipeline/data/deployment metrics
+  (`metric-timeseries-summary.json`). `check_status` has 22 series (11 checks
+  × normal/drill) — inside the cardinality budget; labels validated at
+  publish time (`validate_point`) and in CI.
+- 10 alert policies live and enabled, all routed to the verified email
+  channel `…/notificationChannels/6567861337166986657`
+  (`notification-channel.json` — address not committed).
+- Dashboard "Atlas Operations" (31 tiles) deployed and updated in place
+  (`dashboard-live.json`).
+
+## 4. Monitor DAG
+
+`atlas_observability_monitor` runs every 30 minutes in Composer (unpaused for
+the acceptance window), evaluates 11 checks with bounded windows, persists
+evaluations, publishes metrics, and emits structured events. NO_DATA and
+DISABLED states behave as designed (verified in evaluations evidence:
+`cost_anomaly` NO_DATA before the IAM grant and with an insufficient
+baseline).
+
+## 5. Controlled drills (all executed live)
+
+| Drill | Mechanism | Result | Incident evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| A — normal success | 50 000-row smoke batches on `ba16f3c` and `2109310` + daily scheduled run 06:00 | complete task events, quality PASS, metrics live, dashboard current | n/a (healthy) |
+| B — pipeline failure | deployed DAG run with `dbt_test_failure: true` | `dbt_build` FAILED → run FAILED → monitor FAIL → **incident 06:46:19** → email dispatch → clean rerun SUCCESS 06:58:00 → **auto-resolved 07:03:11** | `Atlas: pipeline failed`, violation `0.oaf4n04jvxx1`; full report in `incident-report-sprint5.md` |
+| C — stale data | real freshness check, drill-only thresholds (1 s/2 s) via env override, `mode=drill` | freshness FAIL (age 196 s vs 2 s) | `Atlas: data stale` opened 07:04:54 (`0.oaf52a4f18hp`) |
+| D — volume anomaly | fixture rows (10 000 vs 50 000 baseline) through the real check | FAIL, deviation 0.8 | `Atlas: critical volume deviation` opened 07:05:23 (`0.oaf52ofe3mrz`) |
+| E — schema drift | doctored expected-schema manifest vs **live** `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` (no canonical mutation) | 2 BREAKING (type change, removed field) + 1 ALLOWED (allow-listed additive) — classification correct | `Atlas: breaking schema drift` opened 07:06:19 (`0.oaf53g1toeh7`) |
+| F — cost anomaly | synthetic drill-mode FAIL point (`manage_atlas_alerts.sh test cost_anomaly`); zero real spend | policy fired | `Atlas: BigQuery cost anomaly` opened 07:06:49 (`0.oaf53uuk0td1`) |
+| G — telemetry failure | fixture: terminal run with 9/13 terminal task events through the real check | FAIL, 4 missing | `Atlas: telemetry incomplete` opened 07:07:11 (`0.oaf545p85441`); plus the earlier **real** false-positive incident 06:05:51→06:33:00 that motivated the terminal-runs fix |
+| Cleanup | PASS recovery points published to every drill series (`delete-test-resources`) | drill incidents auto-close after cessation | `incident-events.json` |
+
+## 6. Defects found by live acceptance (converted into controls)
+
+1. Smoke re-validation without `pipeline_run_id` crashed the new quality
+   persistence → guard + fixed in `ba16f3c`.
+2. `telemetry_completeness` false-positive on in-flight runs (opened a real
+   incident at 06:05:51) → terminal-runs-only + regression test (`2109310`).
+3. Composer log-export platform defect → direct-emission mitigation + tests
+   (`2109310`), documented limitation.
+4. Cost check 403 (`bigquery.jobs.listAll`) → `roles/bigquery.resourceViewer`
+   grant + bootstrap script update.
+5. Migration runner semicolon-in-comment and failed-migration-retry defects →
+   fixed earlier in-branch with regression tests.
+
+## 7. Notification evidence
+
+- Channel: email, `projects/example-gcp-project/notificationChannels/6567861337166986657`,
+  display name "Atlas Primary Operator (email)", enabled; recipient is the
+  project owner's address supplied in-session (domain-only in evidence).
+- Dispatch: 7 incident-open events and their notifications between 06:05 and
+  07:07 (policy → channel binding shown in `alert-policies` live state).
+- Limitation: Cloud Monitoring exposes no per-email delivery log; delivery
+  confirmation rests on the channel configuration, the incident dispatch
+  records, and the owner's mailbox.
+
+## 8. CI evidence
+
+The `observability_config` static gate validates thresholds, metric-catalog
+cardinality, schema manifest, alert JSONs (placeholder channel, no secrets,
+resolvable runbook anchors), dashboard JSON, and log-filter definitions.
+Full static suite green locally and in GitHub CI on `2109310`
+(run `29676039069`).
+
+## 9. Completion-gate status (32 gates)
+
+Gates 1–6, 8–32: **met** with the evidence above and in
+`docs/evidence-sprint5/`.
+
+Gate 7 ("Composer task logs are queryable through documented filters"):
+**partially met** — Atlas task-level telemetry is queryable through the
+documented `atlas-events` filters (structured contract events for every task
+lifecycle transition), but raw Airflow component stdout is not exported by
+Composer 3 `build.13` at all (platform defect, diagnosed and documented).
+This is recorded honestly rather than claimed.
+
+## 10. Unresolved limitations
+
+- Composer 3 `build.13` component-log export defect (platform; mitigated for
+  Atlas telemetry, unresolved for raw Airflow streams). Re-test on the next
+  build upgrade.
+- Email delivery latency not independently measurable (no delivery log for
+  email channels).
+- `task_events.FAILED` rows lack `completed_at`/`duration_ms` (Sprint 6
+  cleanup).
+- Thresholds in `observability.yaml` are initial operational thresholds
+  calibrated on the synthetic 50 000-row workload — not production SLOs.
+- Single-operator development ownership model; no real on-call rotation.
+- Cost attribution covers labeled Python/dbt jobs; console-issued ad-hoc
+  queries attribute only by identity.

+# Atlas Sprint 6 Validation Report — Resilience, Failure Engineering, Recovery, Game Days
+
+All claims below are backed by live execution on 2026-07-19 in project
+`example-gcp-project`, by GitHub CI runs, or by unit/acceptance tests in this
+repository. Anything not proven live is stated as such under coverage and
+limitations.
+
+## 1. Git and PR evidence
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Sprint 6 base (origin/main) | `078bc319c6683717e6583b4500af60b4dd3e168a` |

+
+## 2. Deployed release during acceptance
+
+| Release SHA | Deployment id | Result |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `b735823` | `atlas-dev-20260719T145242Z-b735823b` | SUCCESS — 12/12 smoke checks; migrations 007/008 applied |
+
+Composer environment: `atlas-dev`, `composer-3-airflow-3.1.7-build.13`,
+us-central1, SMALL. Both DAGs parse with zero import errors. Env vars include
+`ATLAS_LOG_TO_CLOUD_LOGGING=true`, `ATLAS_ENVIRONMENT=atlas-dev` (Sprint 5
+log-export mitigation, now set at create time). Lifecycle is ephemeral (ADR-010):
+created 2026-07-19T14:31Z, deleted at end of acceptance (teardown gated on
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`, recorded below).
+
+## 3. Schema changes (live)
+
+| Migration | State |
+| --- | --- |
+| `007_create_recovery_actions_table` | APPLIED — `atlas_ops.recovery_actions` present (20 columns) |
+| `008_add_task_event_timing_columns` | APPLIED — `atlas_ops.task_events` has `timing_source`, `timing_confidence` |
+
+## 4. The nine resilience obligations — evidence
+
+| # | Obligation | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | Detect failures | Ingestion retry (S6-ING-006), dbt test failure (S6-DBT-002), overlapping runs (S6-AIR-004), cost-guard blocks (S6-COST-002/003) all surfaced with `task_events`/`pipeline_runs`/telemetry — see `game-day-results-sprint6.md` |
+| 2 | Contain failures | Failed runs published no success marker; DAG paused to stop scheduler contention (INC-S6-002); cost guards block before spend |
+| 3 | Diagnose failures | Root causes established from `task_events`, `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS`, dbt output, and row-count queries (INC-S6-001/002) |
+| 4 | Recover with control | `QUARANTINE_BATCH` targeted repair (no full refresh) — INC-S6-001 |
+| 5 | Verify recovery | `validate_warehouse("atlas-20260717")` = 10/10 PASS post-recovery; `SUCCESS` gated on `VERIFIED` in `recovery_actions` |
+| 6 | Prevent recurrence | Follow-ups documented per incident; DAG pause during deploy window |
+| 7 | Preserve data correctness | Global dedup keeps one row per `event_id`; baseline reconciles 10/10 throughout |
+| 8 | Durable operational history | `pipeline_runs`, `task_events` (now with timing provenance), `recovery_actions`, `quality_results` |
+| 9 | Reproducible evidence | This report + `game-day-results-sprint6.md` + two incident reports, all with concrete ids |
+
+## 5. Failed-task timing provenance (Phase 1 fix)
+
+Before Sprint 6, terminal task events recorded by the Airflow failure callback
+overwrote `started_at`/`completed_at`/`duration_ms` with NULL. After the fix,
+FAILED/RETRY events carry non-null timing plus provenance
+(`timing_source` ∈ {`step_runner_clock`, `airflow_task_instance`};
+`timing_confidence` ∈ {`exact`, `partial`, `none`}). Verified live on run
+`atlas-airflow-20260719-baseline-s6-20260719` (see game-day results).
+Regression tests: `tests/airflow/test_callback_timing.py`.
+
+## 6. Static / CI coverage
+
+`scripts/validate_ci.sh` (static mode) is green, including the new
+`gate_failure_injection` gate (catalog schema valid; fault injection disabled by
+default; not hardcoded in production paths). Unit/airflow tests added:
+`test_failure_injection.py`, `test_recovery_actions.py`, `test_cost_guards.py`,
+`test_callback_timing.py`, plus `test_run_context.py` backfill-guard cases.
+
+## 7. Live acceptance coverage vs. static coverage
+
+Live-injected this window: S6-ING-006, S6-DBT-002/004, S6-AIR-004, S6-COST-002,
+S6-COST-003, plus a full verified `QUARANTINE_BATCH` recovery and the fault
+-injection safety gate. Per the game-day plan, the remaining catalog scenarios
+(deploy/rollback ledger checks, schema-version normalization, rollback
+compatibility, dry-run ceiling, guarded query config, and the additional
+ingestion/warehouse/IAM/observability variants) are proven by CI gates and unit
+tests rather than live injection, to keep the ephemeral, cost-bounded Composer
+window short (ADR-010) and to avoid destructive cloud operations. This split is
+explicit and honest: it is a deliberate scope decision, not a coverage claim
+that live injection did not occur.
+
+## 8. Exit state and teardown
+
+- Healthy baseline `atlas-20260717` reconciles 10/10 (post-recovery).
+- INC-S6-001 recovered + VERIFIED; INC-S6-002 contained.
+- `recovery_actions` holds one VERIFIED row (`rec-s6-quarantine-atlas20260719`).
+- Alert policies restored to repo-defined state (10/10 ENABLED) before teardown.
+- Composer deleted under `ATLAS_APPROVE_TEARDOWN`: both DAGs paused →
+  environment-dependent alerts disabled (`Atlas: data stale`,
+  `Atlas: Composer environment unhealthy`) → environment deleted
+  (2026-07-19T16:14Z, ≈ 1.7 h lifecycle from 14:31Z) → orphaned Composer bucket
+  removed (381 objects) → `composer environments list` = 0 items. Permanent
+  resources (audit tables incl. `recovery_actions`, log bucket/sink/view, metric
+  descriptors, the 8 non-environment alert policies, notification channel,
+  dashboard) remain valid; the recovery audit row survives teardown.
+
+## 9. Unresolved limitations
+
+- The batch-scoped anomaly-profile test is sensitive to same-date reprocessing
+  (INC-S6-001 root cause). Recommended fixes are listed in that incident report;
+  they are Sprint 7 candidates, not regressions introduced by Sprint 6.
+- Live game-day coverage is a representative subset (section 7); full live
+  injection of all 56 catalog scenarios was intentionally not performed.

+| Prior CI failure (pre-fix) | run `29702642835` — `atlas-security-shell` FAIL (`secret_scan` flagged its own fixtures) |
+| Fix | `7f0eff6` — allowlist `test_security_policy.py` in `gate_secret_scan` (mirrors `test_audit.py`) |
+| Local static CI after fix | `validate_ci.sh --mode static` = **PASS** (all runnable gates green) |
+| GitHub CI on final branch head `cb85c3c` | run **`29702939614`** — atlas-ci **success** (atlas-python, atlas-dbt, atlas-security-shell, atlas-airflow, atlas-ci-gate all green) |
+| Final merge SHA / tag | recorded at closeout (Phase 16 steps 40–42), after merge to main (awaiting merge authorization) |
+
+Sprint 1–6 tags are unchanged. `atlas-sprint-7-complete` is created only after
+green GitHub CI on the merged main commit (completion gate 34).
+
+## 2. Token-efficiency result
+
+Proxy ledger (`docs/token-efficiency-sprint7.md`): **1** full repository scan
+(Phase 0), **0** Composer create/delete cycles, **0** live deployment cycles,
+**0** major plan regenerations. Composer was proven unnecessary for Sprint 7
+controls (governance/schema/lineage/security/retention/perf/cost are provable
+offline or via BigQuery dry-run + IAM read APIs), consistent with the preflight
+expectation and the 55–75%-of-Sprint-6 envelope. No scope-compression tripwire
+was triggered.
+
+## 3. Sprint 6 inherited limitations — disposition
+
+| Inherited limitation | Sprint 7 disposition |
+| --- | --- |
+| Batch-scoped anomaly profile sensitive to same-date reprocessing (INC-S6-001) | **Resolved** (Phase 3): within-batch vs cross-batch replay now distinguished; anomaly assertion counts `is_within_batch_duplicate` only |
+| Live game-day coverage a representative subset | Out of scope for Sprint 7; governance controls proven by gates + fixtures |
+
+## 4. Governance architecture and one source of truth (gates 2–3)
+
+- dbt models carry authoritative `meta.governance` (purpose/grain/owner/
+  classification/retention/contract/consumers/lifecycle); non-dbt assets live in
+  `governance/non_dbt_assets.yml`. No third manual copy — `gate_governance`
+  rejects a duplicate source of truth.
+- Consolidated catalog generated from those sources:
+  `python -m atlas.governance.catalog check` → *"governance catalog matches
+  sources"*, **22 assets**, all with a technical owner and (for models) a grain.
+
+## 5. Contracts and schema compatibility (gates 7–11)
+
+- Data-contract standard + boundary map: `docs/data-contract-standard-sprint7.md`
+  (ADR-016). Contracts map to executable controls (dbt contracts, tests, JSON
+  schema, Python validation, CI).
+- `atlas.governance.schema_check` classifies changes COMPATIBLE /
+  CONDITIONALLY_COMPATIBLE / BREAKING / PROHIBITED against a committed
+  `governance/schemas/manifests/baseline.json` (ADR-017).
+- Applied-migration immutability: `sql/migrations/checksums.lock`;
+  `gate_schema_compatibility` fails on any checksum change.
+- Evidence (fixtures, no defect merged): additive nullable → COMPATIBLE
+  (`test_added_nullable_field_is_compatible`); breaking type change → BREAKING
+  (`test_type_change_is_breaking`); checksum tamper detected
+  (`test_migration_checksum_tamper_is_detected`).
+
+## 6. Duplicate and replay semantics (gates 12–15)
+
+Phase 3 resolves the Sprint 6 defect while preserving the **one-row-per-event_id**
+`fct_events` grain (ADR-006 amendment):
+
+- `within_batch_duplicate_rank` (latest-wins within a batch) vs global
+  `duplicate_rank` (first-seen-batch-wins) with `duplicate_scope` ∈
+  {`none`, `within_batch`, `cross_batch_replay`}.
+- Exact rerun stays idempotent (fct merge `unique_key`); same date under a
+  different batch classified as `cross_batch_replay`; 50 intentional within-batch
+  extras remain detectable; global fact uniqueness enforced; accepted+rejected
+  reconciles to raw.
+- Live dbt tests PASS: `test_cross_batch_replay_preserves_first_seen`,
+  `test_duplicate_ranking_keeps_latest_canonical`.
+
+## 7. Lineage and consumer impact (gates 16–17)
+
+- `atlas.governance.lineage` builds the graph from dbt `ref()`/`source()` +
+  `consumers.yml`; committed `governance/generated/lineage.json`
+  (**26 nodes, 29 edges**, source→mart intact, verified by `gate_lineage_impact`).
+- `atlas.governance.impact` reports direct/transitive downstream assets, affected
+  tests/contracts, consumers, owners-to-notify, and runbooks
+  (`test_impact_identifies_downstream_models`). No graph DB / metadata service.
+
+## 8. Deprecation lifecycle (gate 18)
+
+`ACTIVE → DEPRECATED → REMOVAL_SCHEDULED → REMOVED` enforced in
+`registry.deprecation_errors()`; CI rejects deprecation without replacement,
+removal before the minimum window, and removed assets with active consumers
+(`test_deprecated_without_replacement_fails`,
+`test_removed_asset_with_active_consumer_fails`). Runbook:
+`docs/deprecation-runbook-sprint7.md`.
+
+## 9. IAM review (gates 19–22)
+
+- Inventory + evidence matrix: `docs/iam-review-sprint7.md` (ADR-018). Keyless
+  WIF only; no Owner/Editor/SA keys; prohibited patterns enforced by
+  `gate_security_policy` (`scan_managed_iam`).
+- One justified reduction candidate identified: `atlas-github-integration`
+  project-level `roles/bigquery.dataEditor` is broader than required; a scoped
+  reduction + positive/negative test plan is documented.
+- **Blocked gate:** live IAM reduction and positive/negative tests require
+  `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true` (not set). Recorded, not weakened, not faked. Gate 20
+  is satisfied by a documented, evidence-backed reduction plan pending approval.
+
+## 10. Security and data-exposure review (gate 23)
+
+`docs/security-review-sprint7.md`: no committed/untracked credentials, no secrets
+in logs or audit error fields, no real user data. `scan_data_exposure` +
+`scan_managed_iam` run in `gate_security_policy`; the scanner reports *reasons*,
+never values (`test_security_policy.py`). Public-repository extraction risks are
+cataloged for Sprint 8 (repo not published in Sprint 7).
+
+## 11. Classification and retention (gates 5–6, 24–25)
+
+`governance/classifications.yml` (PUBLIC/INTERNAL/CONFIDENTIAL/RESTRICTED, no
+RESTRICTED assets present) and `governance/retention.yml`
+(canonical/operational/temporary/release/test-fixture) validated by
+`atlas.governance.retention.validate_retention_config` inside `gate_governance`
+(ADR-019). Permanent evidence cannot be given an expiration; transient classes
+must have one; conflicting policies fail CI (`test_retention.py`). Live
+expiration application is gated on `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION` (not set):
+disposal is a dry-run plan only (`plan_expirations`).
+
+## 12. BigQuery performance baseline (gates 26–27)
+
+`scripts/run_performance_suite.sh` + `observability/performance/queries/` (9
+representative queries). Dry-run baseline `results/baseline-dryrun.json`: every
+query well under the 1 GiB per-query ceiling (largest 34.4 MB `08_cost_monitor`;
+mart aggregation 44.9 KB). Partition pruning demonstrated (bounded 2.3 MB vs
+unbounded 12.7 MB). Conclusion — evidence-backed **"no material change
+warranted"** (`docs/performance-review-sprint7.md`); no optimization made merely
+to produce a percentage. **Blocked gate:** executed (billed) suite requires
+`ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS=true` / `ATLAS_MAX_PERFORMANCE_TEST_BYTES`
+(not set).
+
+## 13. Cost controls (gate 28)
+
+`config/cost_controls.yaml` (per-env ceilings, partition-filter requirements,
+TTLs) + `atlas.observability.cost_guard` (ADR-020). Live dry-run block evidence
+(`docs/evidence-sprint7/cost-guard-block.txt`, billed **$0**): a deliberately
+unbounded `atlas_raw.events` scan is refused before spend by (a) the
+required-partition-filter guard (exit 2) and (b) the dry-run estimate ceiling.
+
+## 14. CI enforcement (gates 13, 29) and controlled demonstrations
+
+Five focused offline gates run in the `python` group and are wired into
+`.github/workflows/atlas-ci.yml` with no duplicated logic: `gate_governance`,
+`gate_schema_compatibility`, `gate_lineage_impact`, `gate_security_policy`,
+`gate_performance_cost`. The 16 required controlled demonstrations are mapped in
+`docs/governance-demos-sprint7.md`; 14 are proven offline / via live dbt tests
+and pass in CI (**282 tests collected**); #11 is the live dry-run cost block;
+#13–14 are the gated live IAM tests above.
+
+## 15. Live GCP evidence and cleanup (gates 30–31)
+
+Bounded live window used read-only IAM inventory and BigQuery **dry-run**
+estimates only (billed $0). No Composer created (not required). No temporary
+datasets/buckets created, so no teardown needed. Canonical Atlas data is
+untouched by Sprint 7 (governance overlay + classification-semantics fix only);
+the healthy baseline continues to reconcile under the declared grain.
+
+## 16. Documentation inventory (gate 32)
+
+All Phase 17 artifacts present: preflight, context pack, token-efficiency,
+architecture, governance-model, data-contract-standard, schema-evolution-policy,
+lineage-impact, deprecation-runbook, iam-review, security-review,
+retention-policy, performance-review, cost-review, and this validation report.
+ADR-016 through ADR-020 present (ADR-006 amended for replay semantics). README
+updated (release-tag table, governance/perf commands, Sprint 8 handoff).
+
+## 17. Scope adherence (gate 33)
+
+`transform/dbt/**`. No new platform, catalog service, external policy engine, or
+second repository. Reusable-template extraction and reference-architecture
+packaging are explicitly deferred to Sprint 8.
+
+## 18. Blocked completion gates (honest limitations)
+
+The following require operator approval variables that are **not set**; they are
+implemented statically with exact live plans and recorded as blocked, per the
+prompt's missing-approval behavior:
+
+| Gate | Approval required | Status |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Live IAM reduction + positive/negative test (demos #13–14) | `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM=true` | Plan complete; blocked |
+| Executed (billed) BigQuery performance suite | `ATLAS_APPROVE_PERFORMANCE_TESTS=true` (+ byte ceiling) | Dry-run done; execution blocked |
+| Live retention/expiration application | `ATLAS_APPROVE_RETENTION_MUTATION=true` | Dry-run plan done; application blocked |
+
+No live proof is claimed for these. No gate was weakened to pass. Sprint 7 does
+not claim enterprise-wide governance, regulatory certification, production-scale
+performance from a ~50k-row dataset, complete least privilege without
+permission-level negative-test evidence, full consumer discovery outside the
+repository, zero-cost operation, or public-repository readiness (Sprint 8).
+
+## 19. Completion-gate summary
+
+Gates 1–19, 23–29, 31–33 are met with committed artifacts, green CI, and $0
+live dry-run evidence. Gate 20 is met by a documented, evidence-backed reduction
+plan pending `ATLAS_APPROVE_IAM`. Gates 21–22 (live positive/negative IAM),
+24 (live retention application), and 30 (temporary-resource teardown — none
+created) are blocked or not-applicable as recorded above. Gate 34
+(`atlas-sprint-7-complete` on the validated merge commit) is completed at
+closeout after green GitHub CI on merged main.

+# Atlas Governance (Sprint 7)
+
+This directory is the **governance source of truth** for Project Atlas. It makes
+ownership, classification, retention, contracts, and lifecycle *enforceable* by
+CI rather than living in prose (ADR-016).
+
+## Source-of-truth split
+
+| Asset kind | Authoritative source |
+| --- | --- |
+| dbt models (staging/intermediate/core/marts) | dbt `meta.governance` blocks in `dbt/atlas_dbt/models/**/*.yml` |
+| Non-dbt assets (raw/ops tables, buckets, DAGs, dashboards, logs) | `governance/non_dbt_assets.yml` |
+| Consolidated catalog | **generated** into `governance/generated/` — never hand-edited |
+
+The same metadata is never maintained in two places. dbt models are **not**
+listed in `non_dbt_assets.yml`; governance CI fails if an id appears in both.
+
+## Files
+
+- `policy.yml` — the rules: required fields, controlled vocabularies, owner
+  rules, deprecation window, source-of-truth map.
+- `classifications.yml` — PUBLIC / INTERNAL / CONFIDENTIAL / RESTRICTED meanings.
+- `retention.yml` — retention classes and disposal policy.
+- `consumers.yml` — internal consumer registry (used by impact + deprecation).
+- `non_dbt_assets.yml` — non-dbt asset registry.
+- `schemas/` — JSON Schemas for the registry files.
+- `changes/` — schema-change proposal records (see the schema-evolution policy).
+- `schemas/manifests/` — versioned schema baselines for compatibility checks.
+- `generated/` — generated catalog (`catalog.json`, `catalog.md`).
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# Validate governance metadata against policy.yml (offline, no credentials):
+python -m atlas.governance.catalog check
+
+# Regenerate the consolidated catalog after changing sources:
+python -m atlas.governance.catalog generate
+```
+
+Governance validation also runs in CI via `gate_governance` in
+`scripts/validate_ci.sh`.
+
+## Adding or changing an asset
+
+1. dbt model: edit its `meta.governance` block in the model's `.yml`.
+2. Non-dbt asset: edit `governance/non_dbt_assets.yml`.
+3. Run `python -m atlas.governance.catalog generate` and commit the regenerated
+   catalog.
+4. For schema/contract changes, add a change record under `governance/changes/`
+   (see `docs/schema-evolution-policy-sprint7.md`).

+-- Atlas log sink filter (Sprint 5, Phase 5).
+-- Routes Atlas runtime logs into the dedicated atlas-observability bucket.
+-- The sink is additive: the _Default bucket keeps receiving these entries
+-- (no exclusion filters), so a sink misconfiguration cannot lose logs.
+-- Scope:
+--   1. All Cloud Composer environment logs in this project (workers,
+--      scheduler, DAG processor, task logs). example-gcp-project runs only
+--      the Atlas atlas-dev environment, so no per-environment narrowing is
+--      required; revisit if a second environment ever appears.
+--   2. Structured Atlas contract events emitted outside Composer (deploy,
+--      rollback, drills) carrying the jsonPayload.atlas_event marker.
+-- Lines starting with "--" are comments and are stripped by the bootstrap
+-- script before the filter is applied.

+# Atlas saved log queries (Sprint 5, Phase 5)
+
+Cloud Logging filters for Logs Explorer scoped to the `atlas-observability`
+bucket / `atlas-runtime` view (or project-wide before routing exists). All
+structured Atlas contract events carry `jsonPayload.atlas_event=true` and the
+correlation fields from ADR-011. Replace the example identifiers before use.
+
+## 1. Everything for one pipeline run
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id="atlas-20260719T060000Z-abcd1234"
+```
+
+Airflow's own task logs for the same run (Composer resource logs keyed by the
+Airflow run id):
+
+```text
+resource.type="cloud_composer_environment"
+labels.workflow="atlas_batch_pipeline"
+labels."run_id"="atlas-scheduled__2026-07-19T06:00:00+00:00"
+```
+
+## 2. One task attempt
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.pipeline_run_id="atlas-20260719T060000Z-abcd1234"
+jsonPayload.task_id="load_bigquery_raw"
+jsonPayload.attempt_number=2
+```
+
+Airflow-native equivalent:
+
+```text
+resource.type="cloud_composer_environment"
+labels.workflow="atlas_batch_pipeline"
+labels."task-id"="load_bigquery_raw"
+labels."try-number"="2"
+```
+
+## 3. All Atlas failures
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.atlas_event=true
+(jsonPayload.event_type="task_failed" OR jsonPayload.severity="ERROR" OR jsonPayload.severity="CRITICAL")
+```
+
+## 4. All retries
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.atlas_event=true
+jsonPayload.event_type="task_retry"
+```
+
+## 5. One deployment
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.deployment_id="atlas-dev-20260719-abc123"
+```
+
+## 6. One rollback
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.atlas_event=true
+jsonPayload.deployment_id="atlas-dev-20260719-rollback1"
+```
+
+(rollbacks share the deployment contract; `atlas_ops.deployments` rows with
+`deployment_type="rollback"` give the ids)
+
+## 7. DAG parse errors
+
+```text
+resource.type="cloud_composer_environment"
+log_id("airflow-dag-processor-manager") OR log_id("dag-processor-manager")
+severity>=ERROR
+```
+
+## 8. Missing / broken task telemetry
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.atlas_event=true
+(jsonPayload.event_type="task_telemetry_write_failed" OR jsonPayload.event_type="telemetry_emit_failed" OR jsonPayload.event_type="quality_result_write_failed")
+```
+
+Durable completeness check (BigQuery, Plane 1):
+
+```sql
+-- Expected tasks lacking a terminal event for a run
+SELECT task_id, ARRAY_AGG(event_type ORDER BY event_type) AS events
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.task_events`
+WHERE pipeline_run_id = @pipeline_run_id
+GROUP BY task_id
+HAVING COUNTIF(event_type IN ('SUCCESS','FAILED','SKIPPED','UPSTREAM_FAILED')) = 0;
+```
+
+## 9. High-duration tasks
+
+```text
+jsonPayload.atlas_event=true
+jsonPayload.event_type="task_success"
+jsonPayload.duration_ms>300000
+```
+
+Durable equivalent:
+
+```sql
+SELECT pipeline_run_id, task_id, attempt_number, duration_ms
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_ops.task_events`
+WHERE event_type = 'SUCCESS'
+  AND duration_ms > 300000
+  AND created_at >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)
+ORDER BY duration_ms DESC;
+```
+
+## Linked-dataset access (Log Analytics / BigQuery)
+
+The linked read-only dataset `atlas_logs` exposes the bucket's `_AllLogs`
+view. Example: correlate one run across Composer and Atlas events:
+
+```sql
+SELECT timestamp, severity,
+       JSON_VALUE(json_payload, '$.event_type') AS event_type,
+       JSON_VALUE(json_payload, '$.task_id') AS task_id
+FROM `example-gcp-project.atlas_logs._AllLogs`
+WHERE JSON_VALUE(json_payload, '$.pipeline_run_id') = @pipeline_run_id
+  AND timestamp >= TIMESTAMP_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
+ORDER BY timestamp;
+```
+
+Always bound `timestamp` — the log table is partitioned by time and unbounded
+scans are the main linked-dataset cost risk.

+#
+# Produces dist/atlas-bundle-<git_sha>.tar.gz + release-manifest.json.

+# Reuse is allowed only on exact checksum match; a different checksum for an
+# existing release path is a hard failure (never overwrite).
+#
+# Determinism note: tar/gzip metadata is normalized (sorted names, fixed
+# mtime, gzip -n), so archive bytes depend only on file content. The manifest
+# intentionally embeds build metadata (timestamp, builder, workflow run), so
+# rebuilding the same git SHA in a new context yields a different checksum.
+# Deployment tooling must therefore REUSE an existing stored release for a SHA

+"""Configuration loading and validation for Project Atlas.
+
+Purpose:
+    Centralizes runtime settings so every pipeline step reads the same
+    project, bucket, dataset, and validation thresholds.
+
+Interactions:
+    Used by generator, ingestion, loader, validation, and CLI scripts.
+    Reads ``config/atlas.yaml`` and ``config/anomaly_profile.yaml``.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Configuration over hardcoding for reproducibility across Cloud Shell
+      and Cursor Cloud Agent environments.
+    - Environment variable overrides keep secrets out of source control.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Missing ``GCP_PROJECT_ID`` or ``ATLAS_GCP_PROJECT_ID`` in cloud runs.
+    - Bucket name collisions if the logical name is used without project suffix.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    YAML + dataclasses were chosen over environment-only config because Sprint 1
+    needs documented defaults and anomaly profiles that acceptance tests can
+    assert against. Alternatives considered: pure env vars (harder to review)
+    and Pydantic Settings (heavier dependency for a focused pipeline).

+Invoked through ``scripts/run_failure_scenario.sh``. Commands:

+- ``status``  — print gate/approval state without mutating anything (safe)
+- ``run``     — authorize and start one scenario (gated)
+- ``verify``  — print the scenario's verification queries to execute (safe)
+- ``recover`` — print the controlled recovery action and audit template (safe)
+- ``cleanup`` — print/emit the scenario cleanup contract (gated telemetry)
+
+``run`` performs the authorization chain and emits structured telemetry, then
+prints the exact injection steps for the operator/agent to execute inside the
+live game-day window. It never mutates cloud resources by itself: every
+mutation is an explicit, logged operator command from the printed plan, which
+keeps LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH scenarios reviewable and prevents this CLI from
+becoming an unattended destruction engine.

+"""Fault-injection activation guards (Sprint 6, ADR-013).

+- **Disabled by default.** Injection activates only when an explicit scenario
+  id is supplied AND ``ATLAS_APPROVE_FAILURE_INJECTION=true`` AND every
+  scenario-specific approval variable is true.
+- **Never scheduled.** Activation is refused inside scheduled Airflow runs;
+  only manually triggered runs may carry a drill.
+- **Never canonical.** Batch ids must carry the isolated ``atlas-s6-`` prefix;
+  canonical and smoke batch identities are refused.
+- **Never production-like.** Only the approved development environment is
+  injectable.
+- **Never inherited.** Activation requires the explicit
+  ``ATLAS_INJECTION_SCENARIO`` parameter naming the scenario; a lingering
+  approval variable alone can never activate an injection.
+- **Bounded.** Every scenario carries a maximum duration; ``deadline`` turns
+  it into an absolute timeout.
+
+There is no fallback path: a refused injection raises ``InjectionRefused``
+and the caller must stop. Injection helpers never degrade into normal
+execution silently.

+"""Synthetic event generator for Project Atlas Sprint 1.
+
+Purpose:
+    Produce 50,000 reproducible JSON events with seeded data-quality anomalies.
+
+Interactions:
+    Writes local JSONL consumed by ingestion upload and referenced by validation
+    acceptance tests via ``config/anomaly_profile.yaml``.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Deterministic random seed for reproducibility.
+    - Explicit anomaly injection for validation and failure simulation.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Output directory missing or not writable.
+    - Anomaly counts exceeding total event count.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    Pure Python generation keeps Cloud Shell execution simple and testable.
+    Alternatives considered: Faker (extra dependency) and SQL generation
+    (premature for raw JSONL ingestion).

+"""Cloud Storage ingestion for Project Atlas.
+
+Purpose:
+    Upload generated JSONL files to immutable, run-scoped GCS object paths.
+
+Interactions:
+    Reads local JSONL from the generator and writes objects consumed by the
+    BigQuery loader. Uses ``google.cloud.storage`` when credentials exist.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - History is never overwritten: each run writes a unique object key.
+    - Idempotent upload checks for an existing object before writing.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Bucket does not exist or caller lacks ``storage.objects.create``.
+    - Attempting to overwrite an existing run object.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    Run-scoped keys ``raw/event_date=YYYY-MM-DD/batch_id=<id>/events.jsonl`` extend
+    the Sprint 1 folder format without sacrificing immutability. Alternatives
+    considered: date-only keys (overwrite risk) and version IDs (harder to audit).

+"""BigQuery loader for Project Atlas Sprint 1.
+
+Purpose:
+    Create dataset/table if missing, load JSONL from GCS, append metadata, and
+    preserve partition and cluster definitions.
+
+Interactions:
+    Reads GCS objects uploaded by ingestion and writes to ``atlas_raw.events``.
+    Uses run-scoped staging tables to make replays idempotent.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Append-only raw layer compatible with future dbt staging models.
+    - Explicit metadata columns for lineage and recovery.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Missing dataset or load job permissions.
+    - Duplicate batch attempted twice (guarded by batch check).
+    - Schema mismatch between JSONL and table definition.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    Load JSON to a run-scoped staging table, then INSERT into the partitioned
+    target table. Alternatives considered: direct append load (weaker replay
+    control) and external tables (less explicit metadata enrichment).

+"""Schema-drift detection for governed Atlas tables (Sprint 5, Phase 9).
+
+An expected-schema manifest (``observability/schema/expected-schemas.json``,
+generated from the live governed tables and reviewed into Git) is compared
+against ``INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS``. Findings are classified:
+
+- ALLOWED   — configured new nullable field (``allowed_new_fields``) or
+              metadata-only difference that does not affect consumers
+- WARNING   — unapproved new nullable field, partition/clustering metadata
+              drift, missing description-level metadata
+- BREAKING  — removed field, incompatible type change, required field made
+              nullable/unavailable, partition-field change, missing table
+
+Detection is read-only. Drills use fixture datasets or expected-manifest
+overrides; canonical tables are never mutated to prove this monitor.

+"""Pipeline orchestration for Project Atlas Sprint 1.
+
+Purpose:
+    Coordinate generate → upload → load → validate as an end-to-end batch run.
+
+Interactions:
+    Invoked by ``scripts/run_pipeline.py`` and acceptance tests. Each step uses
+    shared settings, logging, and run identifiers.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Independent scripts remain runnable on their own.
+    - Orchestrator adds sequencing, logging, and failure propagation only.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Partial success leaves GCS object without BigQuery rows.
+    - Validation FAIL is expected for seeded anomalies; callers must inspect
+      acceptance checks separately.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    A thin Python orchestrator was chosen over Airflow for Sprint 1 because
+    orchestration belongs to v0.4. Alternatives considered: Makefile-only flow
+    (weaker error propagation) and Cloud Functions (out of scope).

+"""Validation engine for Project Atlas Sprint 1.
+
+Purpose:
+    Evaluate loaded raw events and emit PASS/FAIL with detailed check results.
+
+Interactions:
+    Queries ``atlas_raw.events`` after load and compares findings against the
+    seeded anomaly profile for acceptance testing.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Fail loudly on unexpected data quality issues.
+    - Treat expected seeded anomalies as validation failures overall, while
+      acceptance tests verify each expected defect was detected.
+
+Common failure modes:
+    - Row count mismatch versus generated file.
+    - Missing partition rows for the primary event_date.
+    - Duplicate event_id count lower than seeded profile.
+
+Implementation choice:
+    SQL-first validation keeps checks close to the warehouse and prepares for
+    dbt tests in v0.3. Alternatives considered: pandas validation (extra runtime
+    dependency in Cloud Shell) and Great Expectations (future phase).

+"""Batch-scoped warehouse validation for the Airflow validate_warehouse step.
+
+Purpose:
+    Replace the Sprint 3 hardcoded PASS with real reconciliation between the
+    raw layer, the dbt classification layer, the fact table, and the marts.
+
+Interactions:
+    Called by ``scripts/atlas_step_runner.py`` (step ``validate_warehouse``)
+    after ``dbt_build`` succeeds. Queries BigQuery directly; it never mutates
+    warehouse state.
+
+Engineering principles:
+    - Every check is batch-scoped where the model carries batch identity, so
+      historical backfills validate identically to same-day runs.
+    - The step fails loudly: any FAILed check makes the Airflow task fail.
