Phase 11 Handoff from Phase 10 — Entry-Gated

Prepared: 2026-07-18
Updated: 2026-07-19 after Phase 10 administrative closure and Phase 11 workstream claim
Planned next phase: Phase 11 — Controlled Zambia pilot validation
Predecessor: Phase 10 — Security, privacy, legal and reliability hardening
Authorization state: Phase 11 repository-side entry preparation is active. Real-participant Phase 11 activity remains blocked until the Phase 11 entry checklist is explicitly satisfied.

Purpose

Phase 10 technical and managed private-staging exit evidence is complete and its administrative closeout is now complete. This handoff defines the Phase 11 entry contract without treating Phase 10 completion as automatic authorization to recruit participants, process real evidence/location/contact data, activate production providers or move real money.

Phase 11 is the first phase that may involve a tightly controlled cohort of consenting real participants. It is not a public launch, unrestricted beta or production release.

The active Phase 11 execution contract is PHASE11_EXECUTION_AND_ENTRY_CONTROL.md under Issue #112.

  • Firebase internal distribution run 29635486574: passed for internal debug distribution only.
  • Cloud Run direkt-operations-portal-staging is the authoritative private portal staging target for this entry path.
  • Vercel Preview/Staging is explicitly excluded from the current entry path by programme decision.
  • PR #111 merged final closeout documentation; temporary PR #98 closed unmerged; Issue #41 closed as completed.
  • main and build/android-v1 were synchronized at the Phase 10 promotion merge before Phase 11 was claimed.

Integration reconciliation transferred into Phase 11

The owner reports external Sentry and Maps setup. Exact-source review found that the current Android, NestJS and Next.js packages do not yet contain runtime Maps/Sentry SDK integration, and the discovery UI still exposes a synthetic map path.

Therefore external project/account provisioning is not treated as runtime activation. See MAPS_SENTRY_RECONCILIATION_2026-07-19.md.

Until implementation/runtime evidence exists:

  • Maps/geocoding remains synthetic/manual from the application’s point of view;
  • Sentry runtime capture is not claimed active;
  • unapproved provider/data processing remains disabled;
  • no real pilot depends on either integration.

Phase 11 entry checklist

Phase 11 may be claimed for real-participant pilot execution only after all applicable items below are true.

Phase 10 checkpoint

  • [x] Stages 10A–10I are complete against the authoritative Phase 10 plan.
  • [x] Exact-project Supabase managed activation/restore evidence passes.
  • [x] Private Cloud Run API and portal deploy from one immutable reviewed source and pass independent inspection.
  • [x] Public IAM invocation members are absent; runtime identities and pinned secret boundaries are verified.
  • [x] Readiness, rollback, floating-LATEST recovery, kill-switch, IAM restoration, scale-to-zero/post-idle readiness and Monitoring evidence pass.
  • [x] Firebase internal distribution evidence is recorded where applicable.
  • [x] Vercel is explicitly excluded from the current protected staging entry path by the authoritative decision record.
  • [x] No unresolved critical/high Phase 10 implementation or managed-reliability blocker remains.
  • [x] Final Phase 10 documentation promotion, Issue #41 closure and long-lived branch synchronization are completed.

These are Phase 11 entry prerequisites for any real participant or real provider processing; Phase 10 recorded them as explicit stop gates rather than assuming approval.

  • [x] Current official-source legal/privacy/consumer/payment questions refreshed in ZAMBIA_LEGAL_PRIVACY_ENTRY_RESEARCH_2026-07-19.md; this is research, not qualified sign-off.
  • [ ] Qualified Zambia privacy, consumer, payments, tax/invoicing and other applicable legal findings are recorded.
  • [ ] Controller/processor responsibilities, Data Protection Commission registration requirements/evidence, cross-border transfer/storage requirements and authority-access boundaries are approved as applicable.
  • [ ] Pilot privacy notice, consent language, participant agreement, retention/deletion and withdrawal rules are approved.
  • [ ] Any map, error-monitoring, OTP/communications, registry or payment provider actually used in the pilot has approved terms, privacy, abuse, quota, cost, processor/data-location and operational evidence.
  • [x] Providers not approved remain technically disabled, synthetic or manual; payments remain disabled and no real-money movement is authorized.

Pilot operations

  • [ ] Named pilot owner, security/privacy owner, support owner and incident commander are assigned.
  • [ ] Exact pilot boundary is approved through ../research/PILOT_AREA_DECISION.md; Lusaka District remains only the provisional design context.
  • [ ] Limited pilot categories are approved through ../research/PILOT_CATEGORY_DECISION.md; the four seed categories remain provisional.
  • [ ] Pilot cohort size, participant roles, provider-pathway mix and recruitment method are documented.
  • [ ] Inclusion/exclusion criteria and consent withdrawal procedure are documented.
  • [ ] Support hours, escalation channels and stop criteria are approved.
  • [ ] Representative Zambia devices, connectivity conditions and operational scenarios are selected.
  • [ ] Data minimization, exact-location handling, research-code custody and private evidence rules are approved for the pilot team.
  • [ ] No production claim, search indexing, unrestricted invitation or public promotion is enabled.

Authorized validation scope after explicit Phase 11 entry

After the remaining checklist is satisfied and real-pilot entry is explicitly approved, the controlled pilot may validate:

  • comprehension of verification, publication and accountability language;
  • provider and customer task completion on representative devices and networks;
  • private evidence submission with explicit consent and restricted access;
  • enquiries, interactions, reviews and complaints under real operational timing;
  • support/moderation workload and queue ageing;
  • location privacy and manual/map fallback behavior;
  • willingness to pay without uncontrolled production payments;
  • pilot costs, operational bottlenecks and stop criteria.

Boundaries retained in Phase 11

Even after Phase 11 entry:

  • the pilot cohort must remain named, bounded and consented;
  • public signup and unrestricted invitations remain prohibited unless separately approved by a later gate;
  • real evidence is limited to approved pilot examples and access roles;
  • payments remain synthetic or separately approved and tightly bounded;
  • external adapters without approval remain disabled;
  • production/public release remains a Phase 12 decision;
  • pilot results cannot be generalized into public safety or trust claims without evidence.

Required Phase 11 evidence

The active Phase 11 plan must record participant/consent status, exact boundary/categories, device/network matrix, task completion and abandonment, evidence rejection/resubmission, trust-language comprehension, enquiry/response behavior, support/moderation/field timing, incident/privacy/withdrawal events, operating cost/staff effort, willingness-to-pay evidence, Maps/location findings, defects/stop decisions and an explicit recommendation to STOP, REPEAT, NARROW or PROCEED.

Activation rule

Phase 10 completion permits Phase 11 entry preparation. It does not by itself authorize real data, participant recruitment, real provider credentials, public promotion or real-money activity. Those begin only after the remaining Phase 11 entry checklist is explicitly reviewed and satisfied.

Repository-side preparation being complete is not Phase 11 completion. Phase 11 may close only after the real controlled pilot has actually produced the required primary evidence and exit decision.
