Required 6 = 2 per zone x 3 zones from the readiness standard and the PagerDuty scale record; usable 5 = 7 observed - 2 reserved in CAP-1; gap 1 covered by VEND-1; completion is the first published change window on or after delivery; release_reserved_capacity needs approval beyond CHG-1 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 “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.”: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying pg-replica with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Coordinate the linked records for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.”: close ticket OPS-163 once reported. Keep “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” 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 “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” that can legitimately produce this business state: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying pg-replica 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 “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” through analytics-worker: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-05 at USD 750; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1400 but requires approval beyond CHG-1. Recommend expedite_capacity, record its 2026-03-05 outcome and +1-day variance, and report LATE honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” with the exact supported insight: record the evidence-backed root cause for analytics connection refused; 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 (expedite_capacity) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-05) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-1) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (LATE) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap expedited capacity on 2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close OPS-163 only once the finding is submitted, not before.

Analytics connections are refused, not slow.

Build the causal case for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.”: 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 the live dependency path (from analytics-worker), the infrastructure inventory, current service logs (analytics-worker), and runtime resource and process state (analytics-worker). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 28-read investigation before they support this outcome: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying pg-replica with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: the responsible service is analytics-worker; the root cause is a misconfig fault; the offending key is pg-replica; an investigation must not change production state. Prove that the same outcome for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” is deliverable through analytics-worker, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 3 zones means 6 required; 7 observed less 2 reserved for inventory leaves 5 usable and a 1-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-06 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-04 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Analytics connections are refused, not slow.”, 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-001 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Analytics connections are refused, not slow. 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 analytics-worker, the affected business boundary includes reporting freshness, warehouse replica access, scheduled rollups, and downstream decision data. The disputed mechanism is outbound connectivity, DNS reachability, firewall policy, and dependency access. Explain which conclusion survives cross-checking, record it in the existing incident work item, and leave the live evidence that lets the incoming engineer reproduce it; production controls should remain unchanged. That finding is the release gate for the 2026-03-04 recovery of analytics-worker, 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.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-06 reaches the 2026-03-07 window at USD 0. Standard delivery only reaches the 2026-03-07 window, 2 day(s) after expedite_capacity, and would land 3 day(s) after the cutover; it is authorised but inferior.

Expedited CloudCap delivery 2026-03-04 reaches the 2026-03-05 window for USD 750. Expedited CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-04 lands in the 2026-03-05 change window, 1 day(s) after the 2026-03-04 cutover, the earliest authorised result, keeps the 2 reserved replicas untouched, and carries the documented incremental cost of USD 750.

Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the inventory freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-1. Releasing the 2 replicas reserved for the inventory freeze would cover the 1-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-1, and adds the USD 1400 re-provisioning charge.

Establish the exact business state for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.”: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying analytics_ro with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Coordinate the linked records for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.”: close ticket OPS-160 once reported. Keep “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” 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 “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” that can legitimately produce this business state: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying analytics_ro 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 “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” through analytics-worker: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-08 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 900; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 1600 but requires approval beyond CHG-2. Recommend expedite_capacity, record its 2026-03-04 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” with the exact supported insight: record the evidence-backed root cause for analytics cannot read replica; 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 (expedite_capacity) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-2) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap expedited capacity on 2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close OPS-160 only once the finding is submitted, not before.

Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.

Build the causal case for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.”: 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 the live database grants, the infrastructure inventory, the live dependency path (from analytics-worker), and current service logs (analytics-worker). All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 28-read investigation before they support this outcome: record a configuration error diagnosis localizing responsibility to analytics-worker and identifying analytics_ro with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: the responsible service is analytics-worker; the root cause is a misconfig fault; the offending key is analytics_ro; an investigation must not change production state. Prove that the same outcome for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” is deliverable through analytics-worker, using scattered records: 2 healthy replicas per zone across 4 zones means 8 required; 8 observed less 2 reserved for media-service 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 2026-03-04 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation.”, 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-002 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Analytics cannot read the replica since the rotation. 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 analytics-worker, the affected business boundary includes reporting freshness, warehouse replica access, scheduled rollups, and downstream decision data. The disputed mechanism is database authorization, revoked roles, credential scope, and least-privilege access. Resolve the disagreement far enough for the incident lead to act, keep production unchanged, and record both the supported conclusion and any uncertainty the evidence cannot settle. The supported cause controls whether analytics-worker can enter the recovery window on 2026-03-04, making this one incident decision rather than a separate planning exercise. Settle the release promise from the real capacity and calendar, not the target date alone. Compare the feasible paths on timing, spend, authority, and consequence, then leave one verifiable recommendation.

Prompt: Checkout is running at a fraction of capacity. 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 checkout, the affected business boundary includes cart conversion, order creation, idempotency, and the customer's final purchase step. Give the next shift a defensible finding and make clear which current observations rule out the most tempting alternative explanations. The incident owner will use this conclusion for the 2026-03-04 release of checkout; a diagnosis that cannot support that decision is not finished.

Standard CloudCap delivery 2026-03-05 reaches the 2026-03-05 window at USD 0. Standard CloudCap delivery on 2026-03-05 lands in the 2026-03-05 change window, 1 day(s) after the 2026-03-04 cutover, the earliest authorised result, keeps the 3 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 reaches the same 2026-03-05 window as standard_capacity_plan and changes the incremental cost by USD +1050; it is authorised but not the best tradeoff.

Releasing the 3 replicas reserved for the notifications freeze covers the gap today but needs approval beyond CHG-3. Releasing the 3 replicas reserved for the notifications freeze would cover the 2-replica gap today, but it breaks a reservation another team depends on, needs incident-commander approval beyond CHG-3, and adds the USD 1800 re-provisioning charge.

Checkout is running at a fraction of capacity.

both media-service replicas are scheduled on node-b3, whose kubelet reports DiskPressure at 97% of 200Gi ephemeral storage, and one replica has already been Evicted for ephemeral-storage three times; the pods themselves are Running with normal memory and the service's own code is unchanged

Required 9 = 3 per zone x 3 zones from the readiness standard and the PagerDuty scale record; usable 6 = 9 observed - 3 reserved in CAP-4; gap 3 covered by VEND-4; completion is the first published change window on or after delivery; release_reserved_capacity needs approval beyond CHG-4 so it is not selected.

Establish the exact business state for “Media uploads stalling.”: record a node unhealthy diagnosis localizing responsibility to media-service and identifying node-b3 with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Coordinate the linked records for “Media uploads stalling.”: close ticket OPS-125 once reported. Keep “Media uploads stalling.” 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 “Media uploads stalling.” that can legitimately produce this business state: record a node unhealthy diagnosis localizing responsibility to media-service and identifying node-b3 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 “Media uploads stalling.” through media-service: standard capacity finishes 2026-03-07 at USD 0; expedited capacity finishes 2026-03-04 at USD 1200; releasing reserved capacity finishes 2026-03-03 at USD 2000 but requires approval beyond CHG-4. Recommend expedite_capacity, record its 2026-03-04 outcome and +0-day variance, and report ON_TIME honestly.

Leave the employee-facing conclusion for “Media uploads stalling.” with the exact supported insight: record the evidence-backed root cause for media upload stalls; 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 (expedite_capacity) in the scoped completion handoff; state the outcome date (2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff; state the approval reference (CHG-4) in the scoped completion handoff; state the timing status (ON_TIME) in the scoped completion handoff; state the binding constraint (CloudCap expedited capacity on 2026-03-04) in the scoped completion handoff. Close “Media uploads stalling.” only after the business state and readbacks are complete: close OPS-125 only once the finding is submitted, not before.

Build the causal case for “Media uploads stalling.”: 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 live Kubernetes node health, cluster event history, runtime resource and process state (media-service), and the employee work item. All 20 exact causal facts must be present inside the 28-read investigation before they support this outcome: record a node unhealthy diagnosis localizing responsibility to media-service and identifying node-b3 with cited evidence; move the employee work item to done. Preserve this additional control: the responsible service is media-service; the root cause is a node_unhealthy fault; the offending key is node-b3; an investigation must not change production state. Prove that the same outcome for “Media uploads stalling.” is deliverable through media-service, using scattered records: 3 healthy replicas per zone across 3 zones means 9 required; 9 observed less 3 reserved for payments leaves 6 usable and a 3-replica gap. Reconcile that gap with CloudCap's 2026-03-06 standard and 2026-03-04 expedited deliveries, the published change windows, and the independent 2026-03-04 customer date.

Prove the observable result for “Media uploads stalling.” after the transition: reopen the employee work item and confirm the persisted result. After the last guarded transition for “Media uploads stalling.”, 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-004 and confirmed persisted provider state, not merely the write acknowledgement.

Prompt: Media uploads stalling. 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 media-service, the affected business boundary includes customer uploads, image transformation, object storage, and CDN delivery behavior. Establish the operative cause instead of restating the alert, keep production unchanged, and record why the present system state supports that conclusion in the existing incident work item. That finding is the release gate for the 2026-03-04 recovery of media-service, so the diagnosis and the readiness decision must describe the same operating reality. Decide whether the current pool, an expedited addition, or a separately approved exception can support the date without displacing protected work. Preserve the evidence behind the chosen completion.
