Sprint 9.7 Engineering Log

Program Context

• Phase: Phase 3
• Sprint: Sprint 9.7
• Status: Completed
• Primary Architecture Layers: Orchestration Pipeline, Telemetry Ingestion, Reporting / Compliance

Architectural Intent

Establish an enterprise-grade secure runtime with layered transport security, infrastructure controls, and auditable operations.

Implementation Detail

Runtime stack hardening included nginx TLS edge, internal mTLS service paths, secure network segmentation, secrets management, backup/restore workflows, firewall and egress controls, and supply-chain gate tooling.

Security and Control Posture

• AAA scope and authorization boundaries are enforced according to current orchestrator policy.
• Telemetry and audit events are expected to remain structured, attributable, and export-ready.
• Integration interfaces are maintained as loosely coupled contracts to preserve VectorVue interoperability.

QA and Validation Evidence

Compose policy checks, security QA suites, and full-regression command pathways were integrated for repeatable control validation.

Risk Register

Primary risk was operational complexity from layered security controls; mitigated with runbooks, make targets, and deterministic scripts.

Forward Linkage

Sprint 9.8 consolidated QA evidence across 9.5/9.6/9.7 plus documentation governance.
