What problem does it solve? Runtime code that silently creates tables, provisions cloud resources, mutates Kubernetes state, or swaps AI assets hides broken environments and violates ownership boundaries. This Skill detects those violations in source code and validates that every lifecycle phase has passing evidence before release. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Runtime Ownership Scanning: Scans selected runtime directories for provisioning-like patterns (DDL, GRANT/REVOKE, kubectl apply, Terraform apply, AI endpoint creation, mutable 'latest' model aliases, safety bypasses) and emits JSON findings with lifecycle phase, plane, and remediation. - Lifecycle Evidence Validation: Validates an 11-phase evidence manifest (discovery through retirement) against environment rules, blocking production releases with failed, conditional, or unjustifiably skipped gates. - Exception Governance: Enforces a strict allowlist format for temporary non-production exceptions with owner, expiry (max 180 days), tracking item, and production-disablement proof. - Use Case: Before releasing an AI service to production, run the scanner over src/ and jobs/ to catch a helper that auto-creates a vector index, then validate lifecycle-evidence.json to confirm operations, incident recovery, and retirement gates all pass. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit this repository's runtime directories for ownership violations and validate the lifecycle evidence manifest for the production environment.
