# Native Kanban/SOT Canon

**Status:** KCR-001–016 independently cleared; KBN-101 rc.13 MILESTONES semantic-scan remediation awaits independent exact-head re-review under issue [#771](https://git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/issues/771)
**Date:** 2026-07-14
**Implementation hold:** no feature implementation starts until this canon is squash-merged to `main` with terminal-green CI; after merge, every slice remains held until its KBN prerequisite graph is satisfied.

## Recommended USC lane partition

| Lane       | Natural seam                         | Exclusive ownership                                                                                                                                     |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **coder2** | Schema + migrations + recovery slice | Unified Drizzle schema, migration SQL/meta/journal/tests, then recovery parser/mechanism/runbook files                                                  |
| **coder3** | Domain + Gateway + MCP server        | Workspace-safe repositories, DTOs/controllers/services, exact `apps/gateway/src/mcp/**` files, health proof, proposals, Coordinator persistence adapter |
| **coder4** | Pure Coordinator + tooling           | `packages/coord` mechanical engine, CLI/MCP consumers, generated projection, one-way importer and cutover tooling; lane-serialized internally           |
| **coder5** | Web                                  | Tasks/Projects Kanban/List/detail and later Coordinator/migration-review UI                                                                             |
| **Mos**    | Serialized integration               | Canon publication, frozen-contract changes, shared-root/exports, integration gates, merge authority                                                     |

The safe order is KBN-010 → KBN-101 foundation → KBN-100 → KBN-101 deployed-role immutable-operation certificate → KBN-105, then coder3 Gateway/MCP server, coder4 CLI/projection, coder5 web, and coder2 recovery can proceed on disjoint files. KBN-100 is blocked on the KBN-101 foundation; real deployed-role certification—not synthetic test roles—is required before KBN-105. coder4 then runs pure Coordinator → importer → cutover tooling serially. No two active slices edit the same files.

## Recovery defaults

| Tier           | RPO / RTO    | WAL / PITR          | Base backup | Restore / break-glass   | Off-cluster                                     |
| -------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | ----------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Lite           | 24h / 24h    | disabled / disabled | daily       | quarterly / annual      | encrypted separate target                       |
| Standard       | 1h / 8h      | q15m / 14d          | daily       | quarterly / semiannual  | encrypted separate object storage               |
| High-assurance | **15m / 4h** | **q5m / 35d**       | **daily**   | **monthly / quarterly** | **encrypted base+WAL, separate failure domain** |

These knobs affect recovery posture only. PostgreSQL remains the sole writable SOT in every tier. Fail-closed writes, generated-file non-authority, attributable post-recovery proposals, non-LLM Coordinator limits, and Certifier final-gate/no-merge authority are fixed for every tier.

## Non-blocking implementation sub-decisions for Mos

The source plan and ratified seven decisions resolve all build-blocking product choices. The following implementation-local selections remain for the owning slices/Mos and must not weaken v1:

1. Exact PostgreSQL write-health probe SQL and bounded proof lifetime; authority and failures are frozen.
2. Dependency-cycle serialization mechanism (recursive CTE plus transaction/advisory lock or equivalent); required behavior is frozen.
3. Whether RLS lands in the first migration or immediately after the tested session-context pattern; workspace constraints/repository authorization are required from migration one.
4. Concrete off-cluster backup provider/bucket and selected production recovery tier; High-assurance minima are frozen if selected.
5. Cutover reconciliation thresholds and stabilization duration, to be owner-approved before P3 execution.

None authorizes a second writer, dual sync, LLM scheduling, Coordinator gate waiver/merge, or Certifier merge authority.

## Publication validation evidence

- Concrete TypeScript contracts are formatted with repository Prettier.
- All four contracts pass strict TypeScript no-emit checking against the current Stack Drizzle toolchain.
- Contract remediation and KCR-001–016 traceability are recorded in the issue scratchpad and linked review reports.
- Independent re-review returned GO with KCR-001–016 closed; implementation remains held until canon merge and the dependency-ordered KBN prerequisites complete.
