# OpenSpec Proposal — phase-7-devops-field-trial

**Status:** Approved  
**Proposed:** 2026-04-04  
**Approved by:** CEO  

## Problem Statement

The existing `docs/devops/` was written during Phase 2 (archived 2026-04-02). Phases 3–6 added
substantial new infrastructure — 14 new DB migrations, Phase 6 feature flags, Stripe integration,
new services (Analytics, Tier, Compliance, A2A), and the Next.js portal — none of which are
reflected in the current DevOps documentation.

Additionally, the team is preparing for in-house Docker Compose field trials and has no
deployment execution guide.

## Proposed Solution

**WS1 — Update Existing DevOps Docs**
Audit and update all files in `docs/devops/` to reflect the current Phase 6 state of the
codebase. Every env var, migration, service, and port must be accurate.

**WS2 — New In-House Field Trial Guide**
Create `docs/devops/field-trial.md` — a step-by-step execution playbook covering:
- Phase A: Stack startup verification
- Phase B: Core product end-to-end journeys
- Phase C: Security guardrails and tenant isolation
- Phase D: Next.js portal verification
- Phase E: AGNTCY conformance suite against live environment
- Phase F: Performance baseline

## CEO Approval

Approved 2026-04-04 per CEO directive: "YES Approved per CTO recommendations — implement your
plan per Openspec Protocol"
