Verdict: READY

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type — Feature
  • [x] Lineage — Follow-up from svc#193
  • [x] Repo — ldraney/pal-e-platform
  • [x] User Story — As a developer / staging reachable from public internet
  • [x] Context — ArgoCD app exists, Kustomize overlay on main, domain doesn't resolve
  • [x] File Targets — terraform/dns.tf with modify/don't-touch boundaries
  • [x] Feature Flag — none (infrastructure, appropriate)
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria — 3 criteria
  • [x] Test Expectations — dig and tofu plan commands
  • [x] Constraints — Follow existing CNAME pattern
  • [x] Checklist — Standard PR checklist
  • [x] Related — project-iss, svc#193, svc#198, deploy#242

Traceability

  • [x] story:dev-environment label — "Dev to staging to prod pipeline"
  • [x] story note verified — found in project-iss user-stories section
  • [x] arch:terraform label — Terraform IaC
  • [x] arch note verified — arch-terraform note exists in pal-e-docs
  • [x] Forgejo issue — ldraney/pal-e-platform#560, open

File Targets

  • [x] terraform/dns.tf — verified: file exists in pal-e-platform, contains iss_dev CNAME block (resource "godaddy_dns_record" "iss_dev") with domain/type/name/data/ttl/lifecycle pattern. The iss_staging record should copy this block with name = "staging".

Repo Placement

OK — issue filed on ldraney/pal-e-platform, file target is terraform/dns.tf in that repo. Single repo, no cross-repo work needed.

Dependencies

  • Upstream (done): svc#193 ISS staging environment — ArgoCD app and namespace provisioned (board item #1893, done)
  • Downstream (documented): svc#198 Caddy reverse proxy for staging.intelligentstaffingsystems.ai — depends on this DNS landing first (board item #1931, backlog)
  • Related: deploy#242 ISS staging CNPG database (board item #1928, backlog) — parallel work, no ordering dependency
Dependencies are correctly documented in the issue's Related section.

Acceptance Criteria

3 criteria, all verifiable by an agent post-implementation:
  • DNS resolution — dig +short staging.intelligentstaffingsystems.ai
  • Existing records unchanged — tofu plan diff
  • Plan shows only addition — "1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy"
Test commands are real and specific. Note: DNS resolution verification requires the tofu apply to have run (CI merges to main). Agent can verify plan output locally; dig verification happens post-merge.

Blast Radius

Minimal. Single CNAME record addition following an established pattern. No other staging subdomains exist for other services in dns.tf. No downstream consumers affected until svc#198 (Caddy vhost) is implemented.

Decomposition Assessment

No decomposition needed. 1 file target, 1 repo, 3 acceptance criteria. Estimated agent work: under 2 minutes (copy iss_dev block, change resource name to iss_staging, change CNAME name from "dev" to "staging").

Recommendation

No action needed.
