Milestone 11 — Production sign-off ✅ (gate)
Goal: a gate that re-verifies the logic milestones live and honestly reports readiness. Code: ~/modal_examples/milestones/m11_signoff.py.
What was built
A sign-off script that:
- Re-runs M8/M9/M10 live at sign-off time (fails closed — any raise ⇒ FAIL ⇒ non-zero exit).
- Records the Modal-validated gates M5/M6/M7 with honest qualifiers (
validated,validated (stand-in)). - Emits a sign-off matrix and a scoped verdict.
How it was validated (python3 m11_signoff.py)
M8 Spillover + back-pressure: PASS
M9 Control-plane server: PASS
M10 Monitoring + alerts: PASS
M5 validated M6 validated (stand-in) M7 validated (stand-in numbers)
Logic gates green: True
PENDING: Real closed-source image not yet deployed -> M6/M7 numbers stand-in; OOM/$ per-render unmeasured; auth/authz.
VERDICT: READY TO PROTOTYPE ON REAL IMAGE
It already caught a real bug during the run — M8 had no main() — and reported BLOCKED until fixed.
Code review (separate subagent) — APPROVE
| Finding (severity) | Note |
|---|---|
| Re-runs and fails closed | Verified — injecting a broken gate produces FAIL + non-zero exit; stdout redirect does not hide failures |
| Honesty of verdict | Verified — "READY TO PROTOTYPE", not "production-ready"; stand-in qualifiers printed verbatim |
| No auth/D7 gate anywhere (MED) | Added auth/authz to the explicit PENDING list so it isn't forgotten |
Vacuous-PASS if a main() were gutted (LOW) |
Accepted — each gate raises on its own failure |
Status: ✅ gate green → ready to prototype on the real image. Production sign-off remains gated on the real-image measurements (M6/M7) + auth.
