# V2 Bounded Internal Pilot Pack
Date: 2026-04-05
Status: draft
Purpose: convert the frozen first-launch envelope into one bounded internal pilot
package without silently broadening scope
## Reading Rule
This pilot pack is a bounded validation package for the already-frozen chosen path.
It does NOT mean:
1. broad launch approval
2. generic production readiness
3. support for surfaces outside the named first-launch matrix
4. permission to redefine exclusions through pilot success
It means only:
1. the team may run a limited internal pilot inside the accepted chosen envelope
2. pilot outcomes must be read against the existing `Phase 12-17` claim boundary
3. incidents must be routed explicitly instead of becoming vague rollout lore
## Pilot Scope
The pilot is limited to the current first-launch support envelope:
1. replication / durability:
- `RF=2`
- `sync_all`
2. control/runtime path:
- existing master / volume-server heartbeat path
- bounded `Phase 16` runtime checkpoint
- bounded `Phase 17B/17C` contract/policy interpretation
3. backend/runtime implementation:
- `blockvol` through `v2bridge`
- explicit `V2 core` as semantic owner
4. product surfaces:
- bounded `iSCSI`
- bounded `CSI`
- bounded `NVMe`
Anything outside that scope is not a pilot finding for this pack.
It is either a known exclusion or later widening work.
## Pilot Environment And Topology
The pilot environment must stay fixed and reviewable:
1. use one explicit build/commit package for all pilot nodes
2. keep topology inside the bounded chosen path and do not introduce `RF>2`
3. keep transport/frontend choices inside the named supported matrix
4. pin operator-facing configuration and startup procedure in a written runbook
5. expose the existing diagnosis surfaces needed to read:
- registry truth
- publication/lookup truth
- restart/failover state
- inventory authority state
If the pilot needs ad hoc operator judgment to stay healthy, the pack is not ready.
## Success Criteria
The pilot is considered successful only if ALL of the following hold:
1. no observed behavior contradicts the bounded `17B` failover/publication contract
2. no observed behavior contradicts the bounded `17C` disturbance policy table
3. `Phase 12 P4` floor-gate expectations stay non-regressed on the mapped chosen
path workloads
4. incidents can be classified using the explicit buckets in this pack without
inventing new ambiguous categories
5. operators can execute preflight, pilot operation, and bounded diagnosis from
written artifacts rather than tribal knowledge
6. pilot findings do not require silently widening the supported matrix
Pilot success validates the current bounded envelope only.
It does not create a broader product claim by itself.
## Incident Intake And Classification
Every pilot incident must record:
1. time, node set, workload, and surface involved
2. observed symptom
3. affected bounded claim, exclusion, or blocker
4. diagnosis evidence used
5. immediate operator action taken
6. final classification
Allowed classification buckets:
1. `config / environment issue`
- the product behaved inside the bounded claim, but the deployment violated the
pilot preflight or environment assumptions
2. `known exclusion`
- the incident came from a surface or claim already excluded from the first
launch matrix
3. `true product bug`
- the incident contradicts an accepted bounded claim or reveals a real gap
inside the named chosen envelope
If an incident does not fit one of those buckets, stop the pilot and refine the
artifact set before continuing.
## Decision Outputs
At the end of a bounded pilot window, the allowed outcomes are:
1. `stay in pilot`
- more evidence is needed inside the same envelope
2. `widen within the same envelope`
- the rollout review may expand exposure, but only without changing the named
supported matrix
3. `block expansion`
- a contradiction, repeated unresolved bug, or operational ambiguity prevents
widening
These outcomes require a later controlled-rollout review artifact.
This pilot pack does not replace that review.
## Explicit Non-Claims
This pack does NOT claim:
1. generic production proof from limited pilot success
2. support for `RF>2`
3. support for a broad transport/frontend matrix
4. broad failover-under-load guarantees
5. hours/days soak proof outside the bounded chosen-path reading

# V2 Controlled Rollout Review
Date: 2026-04-05
Status: draft
Purpose: define the bounded review used to decide whether the internal pilot stays
limited, widens within the same first-launch envelope, or blocks expansion
## Reading Rule
This artifact is a bounded decision gate after pilot execution.
It does NOT mean:
1. broad launch approval
2. generic production readiness
3. permission to widen beyond the frozen first-launch matrix
4. permission to reinterpret pilot survival as new protocol/runtime proof
It means only:
1. pilot outcomes may be reviewed against the already-accepted bounded envelope
2. expansion decisions must stay inside the same named support boundary
3. any broader claim still needs explicit new evidence and explicit new review
## Allowed Decisions
The rollout review may produce only one of these outputs:
1. `stay in pilot`
- the chosen envelope is still the right boundary, but more bounded pilot
evidence is needed before any exposure increase
2. `widen within the same envelope`
- exposure may increase only inside the current supported matrix, with no
change to topology, durability, control/runtime path, or supported surfaces
3. `block expansion`
- the current evidence, incident record, or operational ambiguity is not strong
enough to increase exposure safely
Any outcome outside those three is invalid for this review.
## Required Inputs
The review must not start unless these inputs exist and are explicit:
1. the frozen first-launch matrix
2. the bounded pilot pack
3. the preflight checklist outcome(s)
4. the pilot stop-condition artifact
5. pilot incident records with explicit classification
6. pilot outcome summary for the bounded chosen path
7. the accepted evidence anchors that define the current boundary:
- `Phase 12 P4`
- `CP13-1..9`
- `Phase 16` finish-line checkpoint
- `Phase 17A-17D`
If any required input is missing, the correct review output is `block expansion`.
## Decision Questions
The rollout review must answer all of the following:
1. did the pilot remain fully inside the frozen first-launch envelope
2. did any observed behavior contradict the bounded `17B` failover/publication
contract
3. did any observed behavior contradict the bounded `17C` disturbance policy table
4. were any stop conditions triggered, and if so, how were they resolved
5. are all incidents classified cleanly as:
- `config / environment issue`
- `known exclusion`
- `true product bug`
6. does any proposed next step depend on a broader claim than the current matrix
7. can operators run the pilot and diagnose bounded failures from written
artifacts rather than tribal knowledge
If the answer to question 6 is yes, the review must not approve widening inside
this artifact. That request belongs to later evidence expansion work.
## Decision Rules
Use these bounded rules:
1. approve `stay in pilot` when:
- the pilot stayed inside scope
- no contradiction to accepted bounded claims was found
- more same-envelope evidence is still needed
2. approve `widen within the same envelope` only when:
- the pilot stayed inside scope
- no unresolved `true product bug` remains against the bounded envelope
- stop conditions did not reveal structural ambiguity
- operator workflow is explicit and repeatable from the artifact set
- the widened exposure does not change the supported matrix
3. approve `block expansion` when:
- any unresolved contradiction exists
- any unresolved `true product bug` exists
- incident records are vague
- operators depend on tribal knowledge
- the requested widening outruns the current matrix
## Explicit Review Record
Each review result must record:
1. decision outcome
2. date and reviewer set
3. pilot window / environment covered
4. summary of incidents by classification bucket
5. any stop-condition events and their disposition
6. exact reason the decision stays inside the current matrix
7. explicit next action:
- continue bounded pilot
- widen exposure inside the same envelope
- pause and fix
## Rejection Rules
Reject the review as invalid if:
1. it uses pilot success as generic production proof
2. it broadens topology, durability mode, or supported surfaces without a new
evidence package
3. it treats a known exclusion as if the pilot cleared it
4. it ignores stop-condition events or unresolved true product bugs
5. it cannot map the decision back to the accepted evidence ladder
## Explicit Non-Claims
This artifact does NOT claim:
1. broad rollout approval

4. support for a broad transport/frontend matrix

# V2 Pilot Preflight Checklist
Date: 2026-04-05
Status: draft
Purpose: define the minimum explicit checks required before running the bounded
internal pilot
## Reading Rule
This checklist is a gate for starting or resuming the bounded pilot.
If any item below is not satisfied:
1. do not treat the environment as pilot-ready
2. either fix the issue or classify it explicitly before proceeding
## Scope Lock
Confirm the pilot is still inside the frozen first-launch envelope:
1. topology remains `RF=2`
2. durability mode remains `sync_all`
3. control/runtime path remains the existing master / volume-server heartbeat path
4. execution backend remains `blockvol` through `v2bridge`
5. product surface remains within bounded `iSCSI`, bounded `CSI`, or bounded
`NVMe`
6. no one is trying to use pilot success to claim broader launch approval
## Build And Artifact Pin
Confirm the software package is explicit and stable:
1. the exact build/commit for pilot nodes is written down
2. all pilot nodes run the same intended package
3. the operator runbook matches the package actually deployed
4. any configuration delta from the documented chosen path is reviewed and
accepted explicitly
## Environment Readiness
Confirm the pilot environment matches bounded assumptions:
1. node inventory and topology are written down
2. transport/frontend choice is inside the supported matrix
3. storage/network assumptions required by the chosen path are known to the
operator
4. known exclusions are acknowledged before start
5. rollback/containment ownership is assigned for the pilot window
## Diagnosis Surface Readiness
Confirm bounded diagnosis can be performed without ad hoc spelunking:
1. registry truth can be inspected
2. publication/lookup truth can be inspected
3. restart/failover progression can be inspected
4. inventory-authority state can be inspected
5. the operator knows which artifact defines the current contract/policy boundary:
- `v2-first-launch-supported-matrix.md`
- `phase-17.md`
- this preflight checklist
- the stop-condition artifact
## Workload And Gate Alignment
Confirm the pilot workload is aligned with accepted evidence:
1. the workload maps to the bounded chosen-path reading rather than a new
unsupported scenario
2. success will be judged against the pilot pack criteria rather than generic
"looks stable" judgment
3. `Phase 12 P4` floor-gate expectations are known for the workload being run
4. no required proof depends on failover-under-load, hours/days soak, `RF>2`, or
broad transport claims that are still excluded
## Incident Routing Readiness
Confirm incident handling is explicit before starting:
1. every incident will be classified as one of:
- `config / environment issue`
- `known exclusion`
- `true product bug`
2. the recording location for pilot incidents is agreed before the pilot starts
3. ownership for triage and decision-making is assigned
4. operators know when they must stop instead of improvising
## Preflight Result
The pilot may start only if:
1. every scope-lock item is true
2. the software package and environment are pinned
3. diagnosis surfaces are available
4. incident routing is explicit
5. no remaining gap is being hand-waved as "we will figure it out during pilot"
If those conditions are not met, the correct output is:
1. `NOT READY`
2. the missing item(s)
3. the owner/action needed before retry

# V2 Pilot Stop Conditions
Date: 2026-04-05
Status: draft
Purpose: define when the bounded internal pilot must stop, contain scope, or roll
back exposure
## Reading Rule
This artifact is about pilot containment, not protocol/data rollback semantics.
`Rollback` here means:
1. stop widening pilot exposure
2. reduce or remove pilot usage if needed
3. return to a previously accepted bounded state of operation
It does NOT mean:
1. a general storage/data rollback guarantee
2. permission to claim a broader recovery contract than the current evidence
3. ad hoc operator improvisation under ambiguity
## Immediate Stop Conditions
Stop the pilot immediately if ANY of the following occurs:
1. an observed behavior contradicts the bounded `17B` failover/publication
contract
2. an observed behavior contradicts the bounded `17C` disturbance policy table
3. publication/lookup truth and registry truth diverge outside the currently
allowed bounded interpretation window
4. diagnosis surfaces are insufficient to classify the incident without guessing
5. a `Phase 12 P4` floor-gate expectation is materially violated on the mapped
chosen-path workload
6. the deployment is being widened beyond the named supported matrix without an
explicit review decision
7. the incident does not fit the allowed buckets:
- `config / environment issue`
- `known exclusion`
- `true product bug`
## Stop-And-Contain Actions
When a stop condition fires:
1. freeze new pilot expansion immediately
2. preserve the evidence needed for later review
3. classify the incident explicitly
4. map the incident back to:
- accepted bounded claim
- known exclusion
- unresolved blocker
5. decide whether the pilot can continue in reduced scope or must fully pause
If the team cannot perform those actions clearly, the pilot remains stopped.
## Rollback Decision Rules
Use the following bounded rules:
1. `config / environment issue`
- fix the environment/configuration
- rerun preflight before resuming
2. `known exclusion`
- remove the excluded usage from the pilot
- do not reinterpret it as product support
3. `true product bug`
- pause affected pilot scope
- open an explicit fix or contradiction item before resuming
If repeated incidents of the same class continue without a bounded corrective path,
block further pilot expansion.
## Expansion Blockers
Even if the pilot remains partially runnable, do NOT widen it when:
1. the same unresolved true product bug recurs
2. operators depend on tribal knowledge to recover or diagnose
3. incident records are vague or cannot be mapped back to the current evidence
ladder
4. success depends on ignoring explicit exclusions
5. the desired next step requires broader launch claims than the current matrix
## Explicit Non-Claims
This artifact does NOT claim:
1. broad rollout approval
2. generic production readiness from pilot survival
3. support for `RF>2`
4. support for a broad transport/frontend matrix
5. failover-under-load proof or long-window soak proof beyond the current bounded
evidence set
