review ready

Verdict: READY

Re-reviewed after [BODY] fixes applied. All file target inaccuracies corrected. One non-blocking [SCOPE] recommendation remains (arch-infra note).

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type — Feature
  • [x] Lineage — Sub-ticket of #77
  • [x] Repo — ldraney/pal-e-deployments
  • [x] User Story
  • [x] Context
  • [x] File Targets
  • [x] Feature Flag — none (infrastructure)
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria — 5 criteria
  • [x] Test Expectations
  • [x] Constraints
  • [x] Checklist
  • [x] Related

Traceability

  • [x] story:project-setup label — "Repo, docs, infra, and CI exist; sprints can dispatch"
  • [x] story note verified — found in project-iss user-stories section
  • [x] arch:infra label — infrastructure component
  • [ ] arch note MISSING — [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-infra for infrastructure component. Non-blocking: broad label used across 5+ board items; ticket scope is clear without it.
  • [x] Forgejo issue — #78, open

File Targets

  • [x] overlays/landscaping-assistant/prod/ — verified: exists with deployment-patch.yaml, kustomization.yaml, secrets.enc.yaml (correct reference pattern)
  • [x] overlays/landscaping-assistant/dev/ — verified: exists with configmap.yaml, deployment.yaml, ingress.yaml, kustomization.yaml, namespace.yaml, service.yaml
  • [x] overlays/dev-tunnel/ — verified: exists with kustomization.yaml, configmap.yaml, deployment.yaml, ingress.yaml, namespace.yaml, service.yaml
  • [x] bases/standard/ — verified: exists with deployment.yaml, hpa.yaml, kustomization.yaml, networkpolicy.yaml, service.yaml, servicemonitor.yaml
  • [x] overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/prod/kustomization.yaml — verified: exists, ticket correctly says "update"
  • [x] overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/prod/deployment-patch.yaml — verified: exists, ticket correctly says "update"
  • [x] overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/prod/secrets.enc.yaml — confirmed: does not exist, ticket correctly says "create"
  • [x] overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/prod/README.md — confirmed: does not exist in prod/ (README exists at overlay root only), ticket correctly says "create"
  • [x] overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/dev/ — confirmed: directory does not exist, ticket correctly says "create"

Repo Placement

Issue is filed on ldraney/intelligentstaffingsystems (#78) but work targets ldraney/pal-e-deployments. This is a decomposed sub-ticket of ISS umbrella #77 — the ### Repo field explicitly directs the agent to pal-e-deployments and the Checklist states "PR opened on pal-e-deployments". Acceptable.

Dependencies

  • Parent: #77 (board item #1868) — in todo column, labeled decomposed
  • Siblings: #79 (board item #1870, dev DNS/Caddy vhost), #80 (board item #1871, Makefile improvements) — both in backlog, decomp:1868
  • Prior work: #5 (board item #1784) — done, "Deployment overlay in pal-e-deployments" from Sprint 1. This ticket builds on that initial overlay.
  • No blockers identified — this ticket can proceed independently of siblings #79 and #80

Acceptance Criteria

5 criteria, all testable. kustomize build commands are real and verifiable. The criteria cover both prod and dev overlays plus README documentation. Clear and agent-executable.

Blast Radius

Low. Changes are isolated to overlays/intelligentstaffingsystems/ in pal-e-deployments. No changes to shared bases/standard/. No downstream consumers affected beyond ArgoCD syncing the ISS deployment.

Decomposition Assessment

6 file targets (4 create, 2 update) within a single repo. 5 acceptance criteria. Estimated agent work: ~3-4 minutes (templated file creation following existing patterns). No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

  • [BODY] Fixed (round 1): replaced nonexistent westside-ror reference with landscaping-assistant
  • [BODY] Fixed (round 1): clarified that prod/kustomization.yaml and prod/deployment-patch.yaml already exist from Sprint 1 (#5)
  • [BODY] Fixed (round 1): updated Context and Constraints sections
  • [SCOPE] Non-blocking: Create architecture note arch-infra in pal-e-docs. This label is used across 5+ board items but has no backing note. Recommend creating it as a separate backlog item.
