Establish the exact business state for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.”: /v1/auth must be retired in production; /v2/auth must remain active; /v1/auth must serve 0% traffic; /v2/auth must serve 100% traffic; the consumer storefront-web must be migrated to auth_api_version=v2 in production. Coordinate the linked records for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.”: a merged pull request must be linked to ENG-2402; ticket ENG-2402 must be closed (status done); the pull request must carry a description explaining the change. Keep “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” that can legitimately produce this business state: /v1/auth must be retired in production; /v2/auth must remain active; /v1/auth must serve 0% traffic; /v2/auth must serve 100% traffic; the consumer storefront-web must be migrated to auth_api_version=v2 in production. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” through storefront-web: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-05 at USD 1050; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1600 but requires approval beyond CHG-17. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-07 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” with the exact supported insight: write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-17) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close ENG-2402 only once the work is actually done, not before.

Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.

Build the causal case for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the operative approval policy, and the PagerDuty change-event history; finally test the competing explanation against the exact operating document, the current operating standard (for api), and the served API surface (api-gateway). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 26-read investigation before they support this outcome: /v1/auth must be retired in production; /v2/auth must remain active; /v1/auth must serve 0% traffic; /v2/auth must serve 100% traffic; the consumer storefront-web must be migrated to auth_api_version=v2 in production. Prove that the same outcome for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” is deliverable through storefront-web, using scattered records: 4 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 16 required; 17 observed less 4 reserved for api-gateway leaves 13 usable and a 3-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-07 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-07 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.” after the transition: the retirement pull request must have passed all four CI stages including regression; no deployment may trip a new alarm; reopen current code-review state (storefront-web), the deployment ledger (storefront-web), current code-review state (api-gateway), the deployment ledger (api-gateway), the served API surface (api-gateway), and the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1.”, reopen current code-review state (storefront-web), the deployment ledger (storefront-web), current code-review state (api-gateway), the deployment ledger (api-gateway), the served API surface (api-gateway), and the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Prompt: Migrate /v1/auth traffic to /v2/auth and retire v1. Consumers still span the old and replacement contract, so establish actual usage, compatibility, and rollback conditions before completing the traffic transition. For api-gateway → storefront-web capability chain, the affected business boundary includes the upstream-to-downstream dependency direction, the contract at each service boundary, ownership, recoverability, and end-to-end health. The change boundary covers tokens, identity sessions, compatibility headers, and authentication consumers. Choose the supported rollout path from the evidence available today, stop if its control conditions are not met, and document what you observed afterward. This production change and the 2026-03-07 cutover for storefront-web are one release decision. Give management a decision, not a copied milestone: the supported completion, the binding constraint, the price of acceleration, and the consequence of the option that needs more authority.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-07 reaches the 2026-03-07 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-07 lands in the 2026-03-07 change window, on the 2026-03-07 cutover date, keeps the 4 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 1050. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-05 window but adds USD +1050 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 4 replicas reserved for the api-gateway freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-17. Releasing the 4 replicas reserved for the api-gateway freeze would cover the 3-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-17, and adds the USD 1600 re-provisioning charge.

Required 4 = 2 per zone x 2 zones from the readiness standard and the PagerDuty scale record; usable 3 = 4 observed - 1 reserved in CAP-18; gap 1 covered by VEND-18; completion is the first published change window on or after delivery; release_reserved_capacity needs approval beyond CHG-18 so it is not selected.

Acceptance is causal and state-based: all semantic milestones must hold over successful material reads, provider state, post-write readback, the append-only audit log, and write-scope containment.

The reference trajectory is illustrative. Material evidence may be investigated in any valid order and equivalent query shapes may add safe optional arguments; each causal read must succeed before its dependent mutation, and persisted state must be read back afterward.

Establish the exact business state for “Payments error rate.”: record a missing retry diagnosis localizing responsibility to payments and identifying notifications_retry_max_attempts with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Coordinate the linked records for “Payments error rate.”: close ticket OPS-121 once reported. Keep “Payments error rate.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Payments error rate.” that can legitimately produce this business state: record a missing retry diagnosis localizing responsibility to payments and identifying notifications_retry_max_attempts with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Payments error rate.” through payments: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-06 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1200; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1800 but requires approval beyond CHG-18. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-06 outcome and -1-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Payments error rate.” with the exact supported insight: record the evidence-backed root cause for payments error rate; record the evidence that supports the finding; write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-06) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-18) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-05) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Payments error rate.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close OPS-121 only once the finding is submitted, not before.

Build the causal case for “Payments error rate.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the PagerDuty change-event history, and the current customer-status record; finally test the competing explanation against current service logs (payments), the current operating standard (for retry), change history (payments), and the current error-event population (payments). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 27-read investigation before they support this outcome: record a missing retry diagnosis localizing responsibility to payments and identifying notifications_retry_max_attempts with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: the responsible service is payments; the root cause is a missing_retry fault; the offending key is notifications_retry_max_attempts; an investigation must not change production state. Prove that the same outcome for “Payments error rate.” is deliverable through payments, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 2 zones means 4 required; 4 observed less 1 reserved for api-gateway leaves 3 usable and a 1-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-05 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-07 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Payments error rate.” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Payments error rate.”, reopen the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Reopened get_ticket after update_ticket for DOB-018 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Payments error rate. The incident record describes the visible effect, but it does not establish whether the apparent owner, a dependency, or the deployed configuration is responsible. For payments, the affected business boundary includes authorization, settlement, retry safety, and duplicate-charge prevention. Trace the inconsistency to its authoritative source and record the supported finding while leaving every production control untouched. The supported cause controls whether payments can enter the recovery window on 2026-03-07, making this one incident decision rather than a separate planning exercise. Give the owner an honest on-time-or-late answer and the best authorised option, including the cost and operational consequence of the alternatives.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-05 reaches the 2026-03-06 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-05 lands in the 2026-03-06 change window, 1 day(s) ahead of the 2026-03-07 cutover, keeps the 1 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-04 window for USD 1200. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-04 window but adds USD +1200 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Prompt: Catalog pricing latency. The incident record describes the visible effect, but it does not establish whether the apparent owner, a dependency, or the deployed configuration is responsible. For catalog, the affected business boundary includes price publication, product availability, merchandising feeds, and cache-consistent customer display. Reconcile the affected boundary, identify the decisive signal, and record a production-safe conclusion the service owner can use in the existing incident work item. The incident owner will use this conclusion for the 2026-03-07 release of catalog; a diagnosis that cannot support that decision is not finished. Choose the lowest-risk supported path that respects protected capacity and the governed release windows. The final handoff should state its date, cost, approval basis, and schedule variance.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-06 reaches the 2026-03-07 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-06 lands in the 2026-03-07 change window, on the 2026-03-07 cutover date, keeps the 2 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 0.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 1350. Expedited delivery would reach the 2026-03-05 window but adds USD +1350 for time the cutover does not need; it is authorised but not recommended.

Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the checkout freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-19. Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the checkout freeze would cover the 1-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-19, and adds the USD 2000 re-provisioning charge.

Required 8 = 2 per zone x 4 zones from the readiness standard and the PagerDuty scale record; usable 6 = 8 observed - 2 reserved in CAP-20; gap 2 covered by VEND-20; completion is the first published change window on or after delivery; release_reserved_capacity needs approval beyond CHG-20 so it is not selected.

Establish the exact business state for “Notification delivery failures.”: record a missing timeout diagnosis localizing responsibility to notifications and identifying smtp_timeout_ms with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Coordinate the linked records for “Notification delivery failures.”: close ticket OPS-123 once reported. Keep “Notification delivery failures.” contained to its supported records and service boundary: fabricate no records or evidence; preserve every frozen out-of-scope record; introduce no hardcoded credentials.

Choose the branch for “Notification delivery failures.” that can legitimately produce this business state: record a missing timeout diagnosis localizing responsibility to notifications and identifying smtp_timeout_ms with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Reject a stale-record shortcut, an unsupported hold, and any broader workaround. Compare three concrete, linked readiness options for “Notification delivery failures.” through notifications: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1500; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1200 but requires approval beyond CHG-20. Recommend standard_capacity_plan, record its 2026-03-07 outcome and -1-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Notification delivery failures.” with the exact supported insight: record the evidence-backed root cause for notifications errors; record the evidence that supports the finding; write a natural scoped completion note, not a keyword list or serialized benchmark object; state the selected option (standard_capacity_plan) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-20) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap standard capacity on 2026-03-07) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Notification delivery failures.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close OPS-123 only once the finding is submitted, not before.

Build the causal case for “Notification delivery failures.”: first resolve the same work across the authoritative Jira work item, the cross-tracker link registry, and the linked GitHub issue population; then use the operating-control index and the exact control revision to select the effective rule over the retired shortcut; reconcile ownership, approval, and reported context through the case-room conversation, the PagerDuty change-event history, and the current customer-status record; finally test the competing explanation against current service logs (notifications), the current operating standard (for timeout standard), runtime resource and process state (notifications), and the current error-event population (notifications). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 28-read investigation before they support this outcome: record a missing timeout diagnosis localizing responsibility to notifications and identifying smtp_timeout_ms with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: the responsible service is notifications; the root cause is a missing_timeout fault; the offending key is smtp_timeout_ms; an investigation must not change production state. Prove that the same outcome for “Notification delivery failures.” is deliverable through notifications, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 8 required; 8 observed less 2 reserved for checkout leaves 6 usable and a 2-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-07 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-08 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Notification delivery failures.” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Notification delivery failures.”, reopen the employee work item, then reopen the completion conversation so persistence and communication are both proven.

Reopened get_ticket after update_ticket for DOB-020 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Notification delivery failures. The incident record describes the visible effect, but it does not establish whether the apparent owner, a dependency, or the deployed configuration is responsible. For notifications, the affected business boundary includes receipts, retry policy, delivery templates, and downstream messaging reliability. The disputed mechanism is deadline propagation, downstream waiting, retry amplification, and request cancellation. Work through the conflicting records, preserve genuine uncertainty, and state the supported operational conclusion in ordinary language. That finding is the release gate for the 2026-03-08 recovery of notifications, so the diagnosis and the readiness decision must describe the same operating reality. Can it make that date without taking capacity protected for another team, and is standard supply, paid expedite, or an exception the defensible tradeoff? Leave the dated, costed recommendation where the incoming owner can verify it.

correlate the task-specific notifications provider state instead of relying on files or tracker text alone

For “Notification delivery failures.”, interrogate current service logs (notifications), the current operating standard (for timeout standard), runtime resource and process state (notifications), and the current error-event population (notifications); tracker prose and seeded files alone cannot establish the current answer.
