5.2 Critical Blockers (MUST FIX BEFORE DEPLOYMENT)

ID	Blocker	Severity	Impact	Effort	Owner
B1	TLS for gRPC not enabled	P0 CRITICAL	Security vulnerability	2-4 hours	DevOps
B2	JWT secret not rotated	P1 HIGH	Security vulnerability	30 min	DevOps
B3	MFA not enabled	P1 HIGH	Security vulnerability	1 hour	DevOps
B4	G21 E2E validation not completed	P0 CRITICAL	Unknown E2E behavior	4 hours	G21
B5	Alerting rules not configured	P1 HIGH	No flip-flop/false positive detection	2 hours	DevOps
B6	Rollback procedures not tested	P1 HIGH	Cannot rollback safely	2 hours	DevOps

Total Blockers: 6 (3 P0, 3 P1) Estimated Effort: ~12-15 hours

5.3 Non-Blocking Issues (Fix After Deployment)

ID	Issue	Severity	Impact	Effort	Notes
N1	E2E proto schema mismatch	P2 MEDIUM	E2E tests blocked	2 hours	CLAUDE.md: Known issue
N2	TLI token encryption	P2 MEDIUM	Tokens stored in plaintext	1 hour	Recommended but not blocking
N3	Config test failure	P3 LOW	1 test failure (non-prod code)	30 min	test_databento_defaults
N4	Minor code warnings	P3 LOW	7 warnings (cosmetic)	15 min	dead_code, unused_variable
N5	Docker/Redis verification	P3 LOW	Cannot verify service health	30 min	Non-critical for feature extraction

Total Non-Blocking Issues: 5 (P2-P3) Estimated Effort: ~4-5 hours

5.4 Go/No-Go Recommendation

Decision: 🔴 NO-GO (6 critical blockers, estimated 12-15 hours to resolve)

Rationale:

1. Security blockers (B1-B3): TLS, JWT rotation, and MFA are MANDATORY for production deployment. Deploying without these creates unacceptable security vulnerabilities.
2. E2E validation blocker (B4): G21 validation is CRITICAL to ensure end-to-end behavior is correct. Deploying without E2E validation risks unexpected failures in production.
3. Operational blockers (B5-B6): Alerting rules and rollback testing are REQUIRED to ensure we can detect and recover from production issues.

Path to GO:

1. Complete G21 E2E validation (4 hours) - BLOCKING
2. Configure TLS for gRPC (2-4 hours) - BLOCKING
3. Rotate JWT secret (30 min) - BLOCKING
4. Enable MFA for admin accounts (1 hour) - BLOCKING
5. Configure alerting rules (2 hours) - BLOCKING
6. Test rollback procedures (2 hours) - BLOCKING

Estimated Time to GO: 12-15 hours (1-2 days)

5.5 Post-Deployment Monitoring Plan

First 24 Hours:

• Monitor Grafana dashboards every 1 hour
• Check for flip-flopping (alert if >50 transitions/hour)
• Verify regime transitions are logged correctly
• Track P50/P99 latency (<10ms target)
• Monitor memory usage (<10MB/symbol target)

First Week:

• Daily review of regime detection accuracy
• Weekly performance benchmarking
• Weekly backup verification
• Adjust thresholds based on real trading data

First Month:

• Weekly Sharpe ratio comparison (Wave C vs Wave D)
• Monthly security audit (TLS, JWT, MFA)
• Monthly disaster recovery drill
• Monthly documentation review

---

6. Conclusion

Wave D has achieved 92% production readiness with exceptional technical quality:

• 225 features implemented and tested
• 98.3% test pass rate
• 432x performance improvement
• Zero memory leaks
• All 4 asset classes validated

However, 6 critical blockers (3 security, 1 validation, 2 operational) MUST be resolved before production deployment. The system is technically ready but operationally incomplete.

Recommended Timeline:

1. Days 1-2: Resolve 6 critical blockers (12-15 hours)
2. Day 3: Complete G20, G22, G24 validation (6-8 hours)
3. Day 4: Staging deployment and smoke testing (4 hours)
4. Day 5: Production deployment (GO decision)

Final Recommendation: DELAY DEPLOYMENT until all 6 critical blockers are resolved. The system is 92% ready, but deploying with security vulnerabilities and untested E2E behavior creates unacceptable risk.

Checklist Created By: Agent G24 Date: 2025-10-18 Next Steps: Resolve 6 critical blockers, then proceed to G21 E2E validation
