## Quick Deployment Checklist
**Before deploying:**
- [ ] Read DEPLOYMENT_FINAL_CHECKLIST.md
- [ ] Choose deployment path (A, B, C, or D)
- [ ] Gather secrets (generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`)
- [ ] Plan remote access method (SSH tunnel, ngrok, etc.)
- [ ] Set up backup location
**During deployment:**
- [ ] Follow chosen path's instructions
- [ ] Run `npm run verify` to confirm setup
- [ ] Check systemd service status
- [ ] Test health endpoint
- [ ] Create first workspace
**After deployment:**
- [ ] Enable centralized logging
- [ ] Set up automated backups
- [ ] Configure monitoring
- [ ] Test recovery procedure
- [ ] Document your setup

## Key Security Features
### Write-Time Enforcement
Every file write blocked if it contains:
- TODO/FIXME markers
- Empty functions
- Mock/fake/dummy patterns
- Unsafe language constructs
### Plan Validation
All plans must pass 7-stage linting:
1. Structure validation
2. Phase validation
3. Path validation
4. Enforceability validation
5. Auditability validation
6. Spectral linting (optional)
7. Signature verification
### Cryptographic Signing
- Plans signed with cosign (ECDSA P-256 or SHA256)
- Audit entries individually signed
- Hash-chaining for tamper-evidence
- Deterministic signature computation
### Fail-Closed Enforcement
- No exceptions to hard blocks
- No override mechanisms
- No backdoors
- All operations logged
---
## Performance Characteristics
| Operation | Time | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| Startup (cold) | 0.5s | Fast startup |
| Plan linting | 50-100ms | Per plan |
| Audit append | 10-20ms | Per operation |
| HTTP request | 50-100ms | End-to-end |
| Signature verify | 5-10ms | Per entry |
### Resource Usage
| Resource | Usage | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Memory | ~80 MB | Base + session |
| Disk (code) | 225 MB | With node_modules |
| Disk (audit) | ~1 MB/day | 1000 ops/day |
| CPU (idle) | <1% | Minimal when idle |
| Network | Minimal | Event-driven only |
---
## Scaling Considerations
### Single Instance
- One workspace per instance
- 1-2 concurrent users
- Suitable for: RPi, single project
- Max throughput: ~100 ops/min
### Multi-Instance
- One instance per workspace
- Load balancer in front
- Shared audit storage (network drive)
- Shared key management (e.g., AWS KMS)
### High-Volume (100+ ops/min)
- Archive old audit logs
- Index audit log for faster queries
- Use SSD storage
- Increase worker pool size

### Quick Commands
```bash
# Health check
curl http://your-server/health
# View logs
sudo journalctl -u atlas-gate -f
# Verify audit integrity
node -e "import { verifyAuditLogIntegrity } from './core/audit-system.js'; \
console.log(await verifyAuditLogIntegrity(process.cwd()))"
# Run all tests
npm run verify
# Create workspace
curl -X POST http://your-server/sessions/create \
-d '{"role": "WINDSURF", "workspaceRoot": "/path/to/repo"}'
```
### Troubleshooting
1. Check health endpoint: `curl http://localhost/health`
2. Review logs: `journalctl -u atlas-gate -n 100`
3. Verify tests: `npm run verify`
4. Check disk/memory: `df -h && free -h`
5. See: PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md - Troubleshooting section

## Known Limitations
| Limitation | Workaround |
|-----------|-----------|
| Single workspace per instance | Deploy separate instances |
| Audit log O(n) reads | Archive old logs to separate storage |
| No built-in rate limiting | Use nginx in front |
| Audit log not encrypted at rest | Encrypt via deployment (LUKS, DM-Crypt) |
| No multi-tenant isolation | Deploy separate instances per tenant |
| HTTP only by default | Add TLS via nginx/reverse proxy |
