# Oshun V1 Go/No-Go

> Gate owner: Release Captain. Cross-functional decision authority: release
> captain, security lead, privacy lead, product lead, support lead, engineering
> lead. Required for §33.2. Each launch consumes one signed instance of this
> checklist at `docs/releases/v1/verification/go-no-go/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.

OSHUN V1 enters General Availability only when **every** item below is either
checked or has an explicit signed waiver from the appropriate decision authority
recorded in §10.

## 1. Pre-gate dependencies

Before the go/no-go meeting opens:

- [ ] Dogfood drill closed with signoff (`docs/launch/dogfood-drill.md` §6).
- [ ] Safety review pass closed with three-board signoff
      (`docs/launch/safety-review.md` §5).
- [ ] Quality review pass closed for every domain and every eval suite
      (`docs/launch/quality-review.md` §4).
- [ ] Private beta closed with signed exit criteria
      (`docs/launch/private-beta.md` §6).
- [ ] Beta-blocking-issue remediation reports `clear`
      (`docs/launch/beta-blocking-remediation.md` §9).

A missing pre-gate dependency stops the go/no-go meeting. The release captain
announces the new earliest-possible-meeting date in the same channel.

## 2. Security and compliance

- [ ] DAST + SAST + dependency + secret scan + SBOM checks green on the release
      tag (`docs/security/v1-release-security-gates.md`).
- [ ] External penetration-test signoff captured
      (`docs/security/pentest/signoff.md`).
- [ ] Provenance audit complete on a random sample of 100 published items per
      customer domain (full source → model → prompt → reviewer → policy-version
      chain present).
- [ ] Watermark offline-verifier audit passes ≥ 99.9 %
      (`docs/runbooks/watermark-verification-failure.md`).
- [ ] Records-of-processing and DPIA reviewed for the launch surfaces.
- [ ] Tenant-isolation test suite passing (`tests/security/tenant-isolation/`).
- [ ] Cross-tenant data exposure incidents in beta: **zero**.

## 3. Quality, content, and AI evals

- [ ] All eval-suite floors in `docs/launch/quality-review.md` §1.8 met on the
      release tag.
- [ ] Per-domain content review checklists passed for all bundled content.
- [ ] Persona-tone audit drift ≤ 1 σ on rolling 14-day window for every enabled
      persona.
- [ ] Localization launch coverage hit per `docs/launch/locale-coverage.md`.
- [ ] Accessibility floors hit per `docs/launch/quality-review.md` §3.6
      Lighthouse Accessibility ≥ 95 + axe-core no critical violations.

## 4. Critical-journey automation

- [ ] All 14 critical journeys in §33.3 have green Playwright / mobile / admin
      runs on the release tag (`docs/launch/critical-journeys.md`).
- [ ] Lighthouse budgets enforced in CI for every customer route
      (`docs/testing/automation-matrix.md`).
- [ ] Visual regression CI clean (`docs/testing/automation-matrix.md`).
- [ ] Contract / event-schema / replay / dead-letter / migration / analytics /
      audit / seed / synthetic-data tests green.

## 5. Operations readiness

- [ ] All runbooks signed-off for currency in the last 30 days
      (`docs/runbooks/`).
- [ ] On-call rotations confirmed (primary + secondary) for the first 14 days
      post-GA.
- [ ] Status-page integration verified
      (`libs/oshun/tenant-console/src/status-page`).
- [ ] Support, moderation, review, persona, model, privacy, compliance, product,
      and launch-support training complete (`docs/training/`).
- [ ] Kill-switch fire + fallback recovery drill completed in the last 14 days.
- [ ] DSAR drill (export + delete + restore-blocked) completed in the last 14
      days.

## 6. Rollout plan (canary % schedule)

The rollout plan is approved separately at `docs/launch/rollout-plan.md`.
Required for this gate:

- [ ] Per-substrate canary % schedule reviewed and signed (web, mobile-iOS,
      mobile-Android, BFF, services, workers, ML inference).
- [ ] Promotion gates between stages (1 → 5 → 25 → 50 → 100 %) reviewed with
      dashboard thresholds.
- [ ] Auto-promotion versus manual-promotion choice documented for each
      substrate.
- [ ] Canary cohort definitions reviewed (employee cohort, pilot tenants,
      regional cohorts) — see
      `libs/oshun/search-discovery/src/experiments/canary.ts`.

## 7. Rollback plan (per substrate)

The rollback plan is approved separately at `docs/launch/rollback-plan.md`
(itself referencing `docs/reference/rollback-procedures.md`). Required:

- [ ] Web rollback procedure verified by a dry-run in the last 14 days.
- [ ] Mobile (iOS + Android) rollback procedure documented and rehearsed.
- [ ] BFF rollback via ECS task-definition revert verified.
- [ ] Services rollback (per service) verified.
- [ ] Database-migration rollback strategy verified (per migration shipped in
      this release).
- [ ] Persona rollback procedure rehearsed
      (`docs/runbooks/persona-rollback.md`).
- [ ] Model/workflow rollback procedure rehearsed
      (`docs/runbooks/model-workflow-rollback.md`).
- [ ] RTO ≤ 1 h, RPO ≤ 15 min validated for every substrate.

## 8. Post-deploy monitoring and canary analysis

- [ ] All dashboards in `docs/launch/post-deploy-monitoring.md` live and pulled
      into the launch war-room.
- [ ] Canary analysis automation enabled per `docs/launch/canary-analysis.md`
      and exercised end-to-end.
- [ ] Alert routes verified for the on-call rotations (paging tests in last 7
      days).
- [ ] Customer-experience monitors (synthetic + RUM) live.

## 9. Public communications

- [ ] Public website + app-store listings final (`apps/oshun/web/public/`).
- [ ] Deep-link routing verified
      (`apps/oshun/web/e2e/lilith-public-routes.spec.ts`).
- [ ] Minimum-version / forced-update path verified
      (`apps/oshun/web/e2e/pwa-install-update-offline.spec.ts`).
- [ ] Public status page populated and pre-warmed for launch.
- [ ] Release notes published.

## 10. Decision capture (GA approval)

The General Availability approval is captured here only when every signatory
replies **APPROVE** with timestamps and links. Anything other than **APPROVE**
(HOLD / OBJECT / ABSTAIN) blocks GA.

```
# GA approval
date: YYYY-MM-DD
release tag: vX.Y.Z

| Engineering Lead | <name> | APPROVE / HOLD | YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM | <link> |

waiver(s): (each waiver requires the dissenting authority's name and a
linked rationale; waivers are valid only against §4-§9 — never §1-§3)

resulting decision: GO | NO-GO

next earliest meeting (if NO-GO): YYYY-MM-DD
```

Commit the signed file to
`docs/releases/v1/verification/go-no-go/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.

## 11. Rollback triggers (auto-rollback)

Any of these triggers, sustained for the indicated window, auto-rollback the
current stage and freeze further promotions:

- Unresolved critical security issue.
- P0 data-loss signal.
- Cross-tenant leakage signal.
- Grounded-answer rate < 0.90 (assistant or Metis) for 15 min.
- Crisis-flow safe-route hit rate < 1.00 for any single case.
- Crash-free sessions < 99.0 % (iOS or Android) for 30 min.
- API uptime < 99.0 % for 30 min.
- API p95 latency > 1 s for 30 min.
- Moderation backlog SLA breach > 24 h.
- Tenant-isolation test failure in production.
- Watermark verification rate < 99.0 % for 30 min.

Auto-rollback uses the per-substrate procedure in
`docs/launch/rollback-plan.md`.
