Sprint 9.9 Engineering Log

Program Context

• Phase: Phase 3
• Sprint: Sprint 9.9
• Status: Completed
• Primary Architecture Layers: Reporting / Compliance, Orchestration Pipeline, Detection Engine Access Control

Architectural Objective

Implement a unified legal acknowledgment and governance enforcement subsystem that works consistently across self-hosted, enterprise on-prem, and SaaS-target design paths, while preserving offline capability and low-coupling integration boundaries.

Implementation Scope

Governance Core

• Added legal enforcement service and hooks:
  • core/governance/legal-enforcement.service.ts
• Added centralized legal version config:
  • config/legal.config.ts
• Implemented environment-aware legal evaluation:
  • self-hosted (default)
  • enterprise
  • saas

Self-Hosted Persistence Model

• Self-hosted acceptance persisted to:
  • .spectrastrike/legal/acceptance.json (local/default execution paths)
• Dockerized runtime persistence hardened to writable path:
  • /var/lib/spectrastrike/legal/acceptance.json
  • volume-backed for read-only container compatibility

Authentication and Access Gating

• Legal gate integrated into auth flow before protected access and demo token issuance.
• Enforced failure model:
  • LEGAL_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED
• Added legal acceptance write path:
  • /ui/api/v1/auth/legal/accept
• Web UI legal acceptance workflow integrated with re-acceptance path.
• Admin TUI/CLI startup flow aligned to legal enforcement status.

Enterprise and SaaS Readiness

• Enterprise installation-level acceptance schema draft delivered.
• SaaS user-level acceptance schema draft delivered.
• Re-acceptance logic implemented through version comparison against active legal version config.

QA and Runtime Validation

• Validated legal acceptance endpoint behavior in dockerized runtime.
• Validated persistence behavior under read-only filesystem constraints.
• Hardened legal endpoint error handling with structured failure responses.
• Stabilized ui-web healthcheck behavior for make up startup sequence.
• Resolved infra startup regressions caused by non-executable mounted scripts in:
  • rabbitmq
  • postgres
  • redis

Security and Compliance Posture

• Legal acceptance is now an explicit governance control gate in authentication lifecycle.
• Version mismatch invalidates stale acceptance and requires explicit re-acknowledgment.
• Governance subsystem remains local-first, offline-capable, and deployable in air-gapped environments.
• Documentation and governance index updated for auditability and release traceability.

Documentation Delta

• Updated:
  • docs/ROADMAP.md
  • docs/kanban-board.csv
  • README.md
  • docs/manuals/QA_RUNBOOK.md
  • docs/manuals/USER_GUIDE.md
  • docs/dev-logs/INDEX.md

Risk and Follow-Up

• Web UI dependency bootstrap constraints from Sprint 9.8 remain environment-dependent and should continue to be tracked until dependency mirror or connected CI lane is available.
• Next sprint should focus on release hardening burn-in for governance + auth integration under expanded regression coverage.
