# Matrix/Conduit Scaffold Verification

> **Issue**: [#183](http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/183) — Produce Matrix/Conduit deployment scaffold and host prerequisites  
> **Status**: CLOSED (verified)  
> **Verifier**: Ezra, Archivist | Date: 2026-04-05

## Executive Summary

Ezra performed a repo-truth verification of #183. **All acceptance criteria are met.** The scaffold is not aspirational documentation — it contains executable scripts, validated configs, and explicit decision gates.

---

## Acceptance Criteria Mapping

| Criterion | Required | Actual | Evidence Location |
|-----------|----------|--------|-------------------|
| Repo-visible deployment scaffold exists | ✅ | ✅ Complete | `infra/matrix/` (15 files), `deploy/conduit/` (5 files) |
| Host/port/reverse-proxy assumptions are explicit | ✅ | ✅ Complete | `infra/matrix/prerequisites.md` |
| Missing prerequisites are named concretely | ✅ | ✅ Complete | `infra/matrix/GONOGO_CHECKLIST.md` |
| Lowers #166 from fuzzy epic to executable next steps | ✅ | ✅ Complete | `infra/matrix/EXECUTION_RUNBOOK.md`, `docs/matrix-fleet-comms/EXECUTION_ARCHITECTURE_KT.md` |

## Scaffold Inventory

### Deployment Scripts (Executable)

| File | Lines | Purpose |
|------|-------|---------|
| `deploy/conduit/install.sh` | 122 | Standalone Conduit binary installer |
| `infra/matrix/deploy-matrix.sh` | 142 | Docker Compose deployment with health checks |
| `infra/matrix/scripts/deploy-conduit.sh` | 156 | Lifecycle management (install/start/stop/logs/backup) |
| `infra/matrix/host-readiness-check.sh` | ~80 | Pre-flight port/DNS/Docker validation |

### Configuration Scaffolds

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `infra/matrix/conduit.toml` | Conduit homeserver config template |
| `infra/matrix/docker-compose.yml` | Conduit + Element Web + Caddy stack |
| `infra/matrix/caddy/Caddyfile` | Automatic TLS reverse proxy |
| `infra/matrix/.env.example` | Secrets template |

### Documentation / Runbooks

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `infra/matrix/README.md` | Quick start and architecture overview |
| `infra/matrix/prerequisites.md` | Host options, ports, packages, blocking decisions |
| `infra/matrix/SCAFFOLD_INVENTORY.md` | File manifest |
| `infra/matrix/EXECUTION_RUNBOOK.md` | Step-by-step deployment commands |
| `infra/matrix/GONOGO_CHECKLIST.md` | Decision gates and accountability matrix |
| `docs/matrix-fleet-comms/DEPLOYMENT_RUNBOOK.md` | Operator-facing deployment guide |
| `docs/matrix-fleet-comms/EXECUTION_ARCHITECTURE_KT.md` | Knowledge transfer from architecture to execution |
| `docs/BURN_MODE_CONTINUITY_2026-04-05.md` | Cross-target burn mode audit trail |

## Verification Method

1. **API audit**: Enumerated `timmy-config` repo contents via Gitea API.
2. **File inspection**: Read key scripts (`install.sh`, `deploy-matrix.sh`) and confirmed 0% stub ratio (no `NotImplementedError`, no `TODO` placeholders).
3. **Path validation**: Confirmed all cross-references resolve to existing files.
4. **Execution test**: `deploy-matrix.sh` performs pre-flight checks and exits cleanly on unconfigured hosts (expected behavior).

## Continuity Link to #166

The #183 scaffold provides everything needed for #166 execution **except** three decisions tracked in [#187](http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/187):
1. Target host selection
2. Domain/subdomain choice
3. Reverse proxy strategy (Caddy vs Nginx)

Once #187 closes, #166 becomes a literal script execution (`./deploy-matrix.sh`).
