All required sections for the Feature template are present.

Traceability

[x] story:WS-S1 label — "As superadmin, I want to deploy platform changes via IaC so that infrastructure is reproducible and auditable"
[x] story note verified — found in project-westside-basketball user-stories section under Superadmin (Lucas)
[x] arch:docs label — documentation component
[ ] arch note MISSING — [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for component docs
[x] Forgejo issue — ldraney/westside-basketball#141, open

File Targets

[x] docs/deployment.md — to be created. Confirmed does not exist yet. Target directory docs/ exists with 7 other docs (consolidation.md, dashboard.md, keycloak.md, roles.md, routes.md, spike-47-actionmailer-gmail-api.md, stripe-subscription-architecture.md).
[x] k8s/ directory — exists, contains dev.yaml (namespace, secret, deployment, service, ingress with Tailscale funnel). Only dev overlay is committed; prod manifests live in pal-e-deployments repo.

Repo Placement

OK — issue filed on ldraney/westside-basketball and the file target (docs/deployment.md) belongs in this repo. The documentation will reference cross-repo infrastructure (pal-e-services for Terraform, pal-e-deployments for k8s overlays) but the doc itself is correctly placed in the application repo.

Dependencies

Sibling docs batch: issues #136 (local dev setup), #137 (CI/CD pipeline), #138 (testing strategy), #139 (security posture), #140 (observability) — all in backlog with arch:docs label. No ordering dependency between them.
No blocking items found in in_progress or next_up columns.
The Constraints section references two SOPs that do not exist in pal-e-docs: sop-deploy-recovery and sop-frontend-dev-overlay. An implementing agent would fail to reference these. Either the SOPs need to be created first, or the constraint must be updated to remove the references.

Acceptance Criteria

8 acceptance criteria, all verifiable by checking for section headings and keyword presence in docs/deployment.md. The criteria are sections of a single file rather than distinct behavioral features, which is appropriate for a docs ticket. The criteria use "covers" which is slightly vague but acceptable for documentation — an agent can verify each section exists with meaningful content.

Blast Radius

Minimal — documentation only, no code changes. The landscaping-assistant reference doc (docs/infrastructure-and-pipeline.md, 443 lines) exists and provides a good structural model as specified in constraints. Five sibling docs issues follow the same pattern.

Decomposition Assessment

1 file target in 1 repo. 8 acceptance criteria, but they are sections of a single document. Estimated agent work ~5 minutes — gather info from k8s/dev.yaml and landscaping-assistant reference, then write a cohesive doc. No decomposition needed.

Recommendations

[SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for the documentation component in pal-e-docs.
[BODY] Fix Constraints section: referenced SOPs sop-deploy-recovery and sop-frontend-dev-overlay do not exist in pal-e-docs. Either create them first or update the constraint to say "Reference pal-e-docs memory notes and existing infrastructure docs rather than duplicating."
