Closes #41 (release observability and incident-response dashboard). Local, privacy-safe operator surface only — no live-host changes, no new server endpoints, no user-facing PWA changes.
Acceptance criteria
src/release-observability.jsbuilds boundary rollups (pass/fail/degraded, max latency, bounded counters) plus failure-class totals from sanitized evidence v1;scripts/release_dashboard.mjsrenders them locally.worker.outagepage,queue.backlogwarn,vision.degradedwarn,app.unhealthypage), each carrying owner/threshold/severity/runbook anchor; contract-tested againstdocs/RELEASE-OBSERVABILITY.md.--drill-origin) flips one fixture switch and asserts: 0 pre-drill alerts → exactly oneworker.outagepage naming ownerrelease-operator, threshold, and runbook; manual fallback stays available (local-journal). CI runs this on every PR without touching any real host.Privacy/safety boundary
sanitizeEvidence()allowlists bounded fields only and mechanically drops session identifiers, cookies/tokens/credentials, environment dumps, photo payloads/base64, image hashes, note/free text, emails, and oversized values; rejected input exits nonzero without echoing contents. Hostile-payload tests prove it. No photos, stool records, session IDs, or infrastructure secrets in code, tests, docs, or history.Receipts (all green on this commit)

ad8c8a9f4c021f2e17af485568e0ee7487e2a671despite green CI.Two reproducible blockers:
Sensitive/free text leaks through
failureClass.sanitizeEvidence()acceptsfailureClassas an arbitrary string, retains it inevidence, and the CLI renders it. A value containing an email/bearer-like string returnedok: trueand appeared verbatim in serialized output. This contradicts the PR privacy boundary. Add a strict enum/slug grammar and length bound (or reject), plus hostile tests for email/token/note-like content in every allowed string field.queue.backlogcan never observe queue depth.boundedCounters()allowlistsok/fail/abstain/retry/timeout/rejected/fallback, droppingdepth, while the alert rule readsdashboard.boundaries.queue.counters.depth. A fixture withcounters: {depth: 17}sanitized to{}and emitted no queue alert. Add boundeddepthsupport and threshold-edge tests (9/10/11).Independent receipts:
npm test80/80, deploy tests 20/20, syntax/diff/audit green; Gitea CI is green. Those gates currently miss the two behavior defects above. Do not merge until corrected and re-reviewed.Supplemental independent review found three additional blockers beyond the original two:
Drill can pass when already down.
runDrill()fabricates an app-only healthy pre-state instead of reading the fixture before the outage transition. An always-down loopback fixture producedpre-drill: 0 alertsandDRILL PASS. The drill must prove an actual healthy → outage transition.Missing/unknown telemetry fails open. App-only evidence, or unknown queue/model checks, yields no alert. Required API/queue/model absence must be explicit and actionable rather than rendered healthy.
manualFallback.availableis also hardcoded true, so the fallback assertion is tautological rather than exercised.The loopback-only drill accepts arbitrary origins.
--drill-originis fetched/POSTed without host validation, contradicting the no-live-host boundary. Restrict to validated loopback HTTP endpoints and add hostile URL tests.The correction worker has been restarted with all five findings as mandatory gates.
Independent exact-head review of
9c9286b59f7fb03f61f77033163c6d6edbc66f6b: CHANGES REQUESTED. The six original classes are substantially improved and exact-head gates pass (98/98, syntax, diff, audit, deploy 20/20), but fail-closed drill/fallback semantics remain broken.Reproducible blockers:
Unknown telemetry is called healthy and can pass the outage drill.
runDrill()checks only pre-drill page alerts (scripts/release_dashboard.mjs:188-194). A fixture whose app/api/queue/model checks are allunknownemitstelemetry.gap, yet is printed aspre-drill: healthy, flipped, and returnsDRILL PASS/exit 0 when the post-state pages. Reproducer:/tmp/pr60-unknown-drill-probe.mjs. This does not prove a genuine healthy-to-outage transition. Require zero alerts and every required boundary explicitlypassbefore flipping.Manual fallback contradicts unknown telemetry. Unknown app/API/queue/model status is excluded from
anyDegradation(src/release-observability.js:162-171), so the dashboard saysavailable — no degradation detected; fallback not requiredwhile simultaneously warningtelemetry.gap. Unknown app state cannot prove the journal is available. Add an explicit unknown/gap fallback state; app unknown must not be represented as proven available.Schema accepts malformed types and impossible timestamps.
Number()coercion accepts string/boolean counters and string schema versions (src/release-observability.js:39-46,118); the timestamp regex accepts values such as2026-99-99T99:99:99Z(:95-98). Exact probe accepteddepth: "10",ok: true,schemaVersion: "1", and the impossible date. Enforce JSON number types, integer bounds, exact numeric schema version, and a real UTC timestamp round-trip.One full-suite run under concurrent host load produced a staging-health timeout; an isolated rerun passed 98/98 and the focused base-path test passed 3/3, so this is recorded as host-contention evidence, not a code blocker.
Do not merge or deploy until these cases are RED→GREEN and independently reproduced.
Supplemental independent hostile review of exact head
9c9286bconfirmed the formal block and added five cases to the correction contract:--evidencepath can inject a forged terminal line becausecontrolSafe()preserves LF.status: passmay carryfailureClass: worker.unavailable, producing an outage page with four passes and zero failures.0msafter the CLI sanitizes andbuildDashboard()sanitizes again (Number(null) === 0).Independent passes retained: closed failure-class vocabulary, depth 9/10/11, app-down fallback, missing-boundary rejection, and strict raw loopback-origin validation. Full exact-head suite passed 98/98 in isolated rerun. Correction lane was restarted with every reproduced case; review remains REQUEST_CHANGES. No merge/deploy.
Exact-head independent review of
d547b4887b2f478ea63b4da629e69f81d1d6b571: APPROVED for merge consideration; not merged or deployed. Canonical Gitea quality CI is green. Independently reproduced 42/42 focused observability/dashboard/CLI/runbook tests, 20/20 deployment tests, syntax, diff hygiene, zero high npm vulnerabilities, and the prior hostile boundaries: strict JSON types/timestamps, malformed-check fail-closed behavior, pass/failureClass consistency, idempotent sanitization, truthful unknown/fallback state, LF/control-safe CLI output, genuine healthy-to-outage loopback drill transition, and no credential/non-loopback drill origins. The remote head remained exact during review.Independent exact-head release review of
d547b4887b2f478ea63b4da629e69f81d1d6b571: REQUEST_CHANGES / do not merge today.sanitizeEvidence()accepts arbitrary top-level fields despite the documented fail-closed schema. Reproduced locally: an otherwise valid evidence object containingpatientDiagnosis,privateKey,deviceId, andadminCookiereturnedok: true; those fields were silently dropped while the evidence could still be certified healthy. Strictly allowlist top-level keys and test each hostile field independently. Exact-head full gates were independently reported green (109/109 Node, 20/20 deploy, audit/syntax), and no real images, weights, or committed secrets were found, but this privacy/schema defect blocks merge.Checkout
