Evidence collected from the following repositories:

UC-152: Feature Flags and Rollout Control

Status: 🔄 Deferred Priority: Medium Implementation Type: Technical

Current State

Sole operator deploys via CI/CD (GitHub Actions → Cloudflare Workers). Current deployment strategy:

• Git branch-based deployments (main = production)

UC-186: Sandbox Environment Isolation (Build, CI, Runtime)

Status: Partial (Layers 5-8 implemented; Layers 1-4 planned) Priority: Critical Implementation Type: Technical Domain: Development & Operations Added: 2026-04-13 (Phase 0A docs sandbox uplift)

Control Description

Enforce isolation of the docs interactive sandbox from production code paths through a defence-in-depth chain composed of eight independent layers across the Rust backends and the TypeScript gateway:

1. Compile-time isolation via a Cargo feature flag (docs-sandbox) that gates sandbox-only modules out of production binaries.
2. Build-script assertion (build.rs) that fails the build when both the production target and the docs-sandbox feature are simultaneously enabled.
3. CI bundle-grep guard that scans the production artefact for sandbox-only symbols and fails the workflow if any sandbox identifier reaches a production bundle.
4. Runtime middleware prefix rejection in production provii-verifier and provii-management that refuses any request bearing a docs-sbx-* or mwallet-sbx-* identifier.
5. Handler-scoped env narrowing and isolate cache partition in the docs gateway Worker, so the docs handler cannot reach playground secrets or share cache state with the playground surface.
6. Disjoint Worker bindings in wrangler.toml: separate DOCS_SESSIONS KV namespace, separate rate-limit namespace_id, deliberate absence of Service Bindings to provii-verifier and provii-issuer (so the public-edge prefix rejection in Layer 4 is not bypassed).
7. Cross-surface vitest suite exercising KV-unreachable fail-closed behaviour, path fuzz, Cloudflare managed challenge-token dedupe, and per-isolate cache isolation.
8. Per-widget feature flags with a global kill switch, fail-closed reads, and a 60-second cache ceiling so an operator can disable a single endpoint or the entire docs gateway without redeploying.

The eight layers are deliberately independent so that the failure of any single layer does not collapse the isolation boundary.

Evidence Trail

The control is partially implemented at the time of this evidence update. It is defined in the Unified Control Matrix, the Statement of Applicability, the Docs Sandbox DPIA, and the Children’s Code DPIA. The Rust-backend engineering layers are tracked under the docs DX delivery workstream (tasks 0.46, 0.47, 0.48, 0.49) and will move from Planned to Implemented when they land in CI. The gateway-side layers (tasks 0.17a, 0.17b, 0.31, 0.35) are implemented today; their source-code evidence is pinned below.

Layer 1: Cargo feature flag (compile-time gate)

Layer 2: build.rs assertion

Layer 3: CI bundle-grep guard

Layer 4: runtime middleware prefix rejection

Status: implemented in provii-verifier and provii-management; planned in provii-issuer.

Layer 5: handler-scoped env narrowing and isolate cache partition

Layer 6: Disjoint Worker bindings and Service Binding internal fabric posture (wrangler.toml, delivery in-flight this wave)

Layer 7: cross-surface vitest suite

Layer 8: feature-flag kill switches

Cross-References

Compliance Mapping

Gap Analysis

• Narrow DocsEnv to exclude playground secrets and partition the per-isolate feature-flag cache
• Partition DOCS_SESSIONS KV binding and DOCS_STATUS_POLL_LIMITER rate-limit namespace ids from the playground surface
• Cross-surface vitest suite: KV-unreachable, path-fuzz, Cloudflare managed challenge dedupe, per-isolate cache isolation
• Per-widget feature flags with global kill switch and fail-closed reads
• Land docs-sandbox Cargo feature flag and #[cfg] gating in provii-verifier and provii-issuer
• Add build.rs assertion preventing the feature flag in production builds
• Add CI bundle-grep workflow to provii-verifier and provii-issuer
• Add runtime middleware prefix rejection in provii-verifier and provii-management with negative test coverage
• First quarterly KV-sweep rotation rehearsal recorded against this evidence trail

Status Note

UC-186 is implemented in layers. Layers 5 through 8 carry live source-code evidence today: handler-scoped env narrowing, disjoint KV and rate-limit bindings in wrangler.toml, a cross-surface vitest suite, and per-widget feature flags with a global kill. Layers 1 through 4 remain planned; they are the Rust-backend half of the defence-in-depth chain and will move from Planned to Implemented when the Cargo feature flag, build.rs assertion, CI bundle-grep, and runtime prefix rejection land in provii-verifier, provii-issuer, and provii-management. The overall UC-186 status will be ratified at the next quarterly management review once all eight layers are in place.

Gap Analysis & Recommendations

Critical Gaps (Immediate Action Required)

1. UC-168: Data Backup Procedures (Partially Implemented)

• Gap. No automated off-platform KV backups
• Risk. Data loss if Cloudflare account compromised
• Recommendation. Implement weekly KV export to Cloudflare R2 or AWS S3
• Effort. 1 week
• Priority. High

High Priority Gaps (3-6 Months)

2. UC-159: Penetration Testing (Planned)

• Gap. No formal penetration testing
• Risk. Undiscovered vulnerabilities
• Recommendation. Schedule penetration test post-launch (budget: $10k-$25k)
• Effort. 2-4 weeks
• Priority. High

Medium Priority Gaps (6-12 Months)

3. UC-155: API Versioning (Planned)

• Gap. No API versioning strategy
• Risk. Breaking changes require forced client upgrades
• Recommendation. Implement /v1/ URL path versioning
• Effort. 1 week
• Priority. Medium

Development and Operations controls are strongly implemented across the Provii platform with 11/20 (55%) fully implemented and 1/20 (5%) partially implemented. The platform demonstrates industry-leading practices in:

1. CI/CD Automation: Fully automated deployments with SLSA Level 3 provenance
2. Security Scanning: Multi-layered scanning (SAST, SCA, secrets, licenses)
3. High Availability: 99.999% uptime via Cloudflare’s global infrastructure
4. Input Validation: Type-safe, compile-time + runtime validation
5. Supply Chain Security: SBOM generation, artifact signing, provenance attestation

Critical gaps requiring immediate attention:

• UC-168: Automated KV backups (partially implemented)
• UC-159: Penetration testing (planned post-launch)

Strengths that exceed industry standards:

• Zero unsafe code enforcement (unsafe_code = "forbid")
• Hermetic builds with locked dependencies
• Cryptographic signing of all release artifacts
• security linting and testing

This evidence base supports compliance with ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, OWASP ASVS, and CSA CCM for Development and Operations controls.
