# [PHASE-6] The Network - Autonomous Infrastructure

## Phase Definition

- Fleet operates without human intervention for 7+ days.
- Self-healing, self-improving, serves mission.
- Trigger: 7 days without human intervention.

## Current Buildings

- Self-healing fleet — Detect, repair, and verify fleet incidents without waiting on a human. Evidence: `scripts/fleet_health_probe.sh`, `scripts/auto_restart_agent.sh`, `scripts/failover_monitor.py`
- Autonomous issue creation — Turn recurring infrastructure incidents into durable Gitea work items. Evidence: `scripts/autonomous_issue_creator.py`, `tests/test_autonomous_issue_creator.py`
- Community contribution pipeline — Let outside contributors submit work through automated review and policy gates. Evidence: `scripts/sovereign_review_gate.py`, `scripts/agent_pr_gate.py`
- Global mesh — Reduce single points of failure across the fleet with explicit peer-to-peer sync scaffolding. Evidence: `scripts/setup-syncthing.sh`

## Current Resource Snapshot

- Human-free days observed: 0
- Trigger threshold: 7 days
- Phase-ready now: no

## Next Trigger

To honestly unlock [PHASE-6] The Network - Autonomous Infrastructure, the fleet must hold 7+ consecutive days without human intervention.

## Missing Requirements

- Human-free days: 0/7

## Repo Signals Already Present

- `scripts/fleet_health_probe.sh` — Self-healing fleet
- `scripts/auto_restart_agent.sh` — Self-healing fleet
- `scripts/failover_monitor.py` — Self-healing fleet
- `scripts/autonomous_issue_creator.py` — Autonomous issue creation
- `tests/test_autonomous_issue_creator.py` — Autonomous issue creation
- `scripts/sovereign_review_gate.py` — Community contribution pipeline
- `scripts/agent_pr_gate.py` — Community contribution pipeline
- `scripts/setup-syncthing.sh` — Global mesh

## Final Milestone

- Someone found the Beacon. The infrastructure served its purpose.

## Why This Phase Remains Open

- The repo already carries concrete Phase-6 buildings, but the milestone is operational, not rhetorical.
- A merged PR cannot honestly claim seven human-free days have already happened.
- This issue stays open until the infrastructure proves itself in live operation.

## Notes

- Phase 6 is not a code-only milestone. The trigger is operational truth: seven days without human intervention.
- This report grounds the buildings already present in the repo so the remaining blocker is explicit instead of hand-waved.
