Round 1 Summary: Local-Production Parity

ALIGNMENT Score: +156 (Velocity: +69) | Panel: 6 experts | Status: CONSTRAINT PIVOT

Critical Update: User Rejected Tiered Architecture

The user has explicitly rejected the tiered/progressive disclosure model:

"I do NOT like the tiered architecture. We want to be able to deploy at a moment's notice and have tested the same code that will run in prod locally."

New Constraints (Round 2+):

  1. New repo - Greenfield Rust project
  2. Docker REQUIRED - DynamoDB Local is mandatory, no SQLite fallback
  3. TRUE parity - Same code runs locally and production
  4. No tiers - Level 0-3 progressive disclosure is rejected

Round 1 Convergence (Now Invalidated)

The panel had converged on:

  • T0001 RESOLVED: Three-mode dashboard (LOCAL/STAGING/PRODUCTION)
  • T0002 RESOLVED: Code path parity via same algorithms
  • T0004 RESOLVED: Docker optional, cargo build && ./blue install default

These resolutions are now INVALID. Round 2 must reconverge under new constraints.

Perspectives That Survive

ID Perspective Status
P0002 Encryption algorithms must be identical KEPT
P0004 LocalSecretsProvider replaces Infisical locally KEPT
P0010 DashboardEnvelope pattern KEPT
P0011 Key hierarchy must be fully exercised locally KEPT - Now mandatory

Perspectives That Must Change

ID Perspective New Status
P0005 Two-minute onboarding rule RELAXED - Docker setup acceptable
P0006 DynamoDB Local has 99% parity ELEVATED - Now required, not optional
P0008 Full production parity unnecessary REJECTED - User demands full parity
P0009 Progressive disclosure (Level 0-3) REJECTED

Tensions for Round 2

ID Tension Status
T0001 Dashboard decryption vs zero-knowledge RESOLVED (kept)
T0002 Full parity vs ergonomics REOPENED - User chose full parity
T0003 Auto-generated keys vs reproducible testing OPEN
T0004 Docker requirement vs simplicity RESOLVED - Docker required
T0005 Infisical SDK not exercised locally OPEN
T0006 NEW Greenfield repo scope and boundaries OPEN

Key Question for Round 2

Given Docker is REQUIRED and parity is NON-NEGOTIABLE, what is the minimal correct architecture for a new Rust repo that achieves true local-production encryption parity?

Panel Evolution for Round 2

  • Retain: Cupcake (Security), Palmier (QA), Cannoli (SRE)
  • Rotate out: Scone (DevEx focus no longer primary), Macaron (simplicity position rejected)
  • Add from pool: Database Architect (DynamoDB schema), Infrastructure Engineer (Docker setup)
  • Retain with changed focus: Muffin (Platform - now Docker-required advocate)
