Phase 193upload preflight stub design onlyFAEDA-EVIDENCE-AUDIT-RUNTIME-BUILD-APPROVAL-GATE-DESIGN-001

Evidence Upload Preflight Stub Design

Defines future upload preflight checks for scope, size, MIME type, privacy class, redaction need, scan status, retention lane, maker role, and duplicate detection before upload runtime exists.

Runtime approval Previous gate Next gate Control room

Runtime remains blocked

Can FAEDA reject unsafe evidence before any file is accepted?

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.

Approval focus

What this gate must prove

1

Preflight must run before provider upload instruction is issued.

2

Sensitive file classes must require redaction, checker review, or hard block.

3

Duplicate, oversize, wrong-type, expired-scope, and wrong-role uploads must be rejected safely.

4

Preflight returns a safe decision packet, not a signed upload URL in this phase.

Readiness checks

Checklist before next phase

1

allowed MIME list exists

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

size limits are defined

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

privacy class is mandatory

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

retention lane is mandatory

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

5

duplicate strategy exists

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

6

rejection reason is safe

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

Unsafe uploads are blocked before storage.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

Preflight packet can be audited.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

UI can explain safe rejection.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

Next phase can design review queue stub.

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 194 should be evidence review queue local stub design

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