Phase 188local stub readiness design onlyFAEDA-EVIDENCE-AUDIT-RUNTIME-BUILD-APPROVAL-GATE-DESIGN-001

Evidence Runtime Local Stub Readiness Design

Defines how FAEDA may create disabled local evidence stubs without persistence, provider writes, queues, workers, notifications, exports, or live user impact.

Runtime approval Previous gate Next gate Control room

Runtime remains blocked

Can the team create local-only stubs that prove shape without creating runtime truth?

Runtime remains blocked. No live runtime is created here. This gate is allowed to clarify readiness, controls, blockers, and exit criteria. It is not allowed to create production runtime, mutate evidence, notify users, export data, delete records, or grant external access.

What this gate must prove

1

Stub endpoints must be disabled by default and unreachable from production navigation.

2

Stub responses must use synthetic evidence ids, synthetic URLs, and demo-only payloads.

3

No database, provider adapter, upload stream, queue, worker, scheduler, or notification is allowed.

4

Stub errors must follow standard API response shape and show no raw stack traces.

Readiness checks

Checklist before next phase

1

feature flag defaults to off

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

kill switch exists before route exposure

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

demo-only fixture pack approved

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

no persistence import added

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

5

no provider SDK initialized

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

6

no background job registered

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

Blocked runtime

Blocked runtime actions remain locked

production evidence upload
real object storage write
live metadata mutation
queue worker mutation
notification dispatch
report export/download
external auditor grant
deletion/archive/purge
payment or settlement action
legal hold release

Exit criteria

How this gate becomes ready

1

Founder can inspect stub scope.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

QA can prove no live writes happen.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

Security can confirm no secrets exist.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

Next phase can define feature flag and kill switch controls.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

Audit fields

Future gate packet fields

phaseGateId

string

Stable id for the future approval or stub gate.

sourceGate

string

Previous gate or upstream evidence governance design.

mode

enum

design, local_stub, sandbox, test_matrix, qa_gate, pilot, release_control.

featureFlagKey

string|null

Disabled-by-default feature flag for future runtime.

killSwitchKey

string|null

Emergency stop control for future runtime.

makerRole

enum

Role preparing the gate packet.

checkerRole

enum

Independent reviewer role.

riskSummary

string

Founder-safe risk summary.

status

enum

draft, blocked, rework, approved_for_next_gate, rejected.

createdAt

datetime

Future packet creation timestamp.

updatedAt

datetime

Future packet update timestamp.

Hard rules

Safety sprint does not equal live runtime

1

This phase is design, readiness, stub, sandbox, QA, pilot, or release-control planning only.

2

Do not create production evidence databases, migrations, API routes, object storage writes, queue workers, schedulers, notifications, exports, downloads, deletion, archive, purge, public links, or external auditor access here.

3

Any stub must be disabled by default, demo-data only, feature-flagged, kill-switchable, audited, and unable to mutate live evidence.

4

Backend permission checks remain final. UI visibility is never security.

5

No provider credentials, signed URLs, raw file paths, CNIC, OTP, PIN, bank details, private notes, payment references, or raw transcripts may appear in the UI packet.

6

Every runtime move must preserve maker-checker separation, idempotency, audit events, rollback, redaction, retention, and founder visibility.

Next safe gate

Phase 189 should be evidence runtime feature flag and kill switch design

The next move stays within the controlled runtime safety sprint unless Phase 200 returns FAEDA to the main core app completion track.
