Production launch

Owner
Agent Owner + Platform team.
Input
Pilot-to-prod gate passed.

Owner: Agent Owner + Platform team. Input: Pilot-to-prod gate passed. Sub-steps:

  1. Promote the build through whatever the platform team's promotion process is (dev → test → prod). Use CI/CD with quality gates per framework.md §11.
  2. Flip the agent identity into prod scope (or create the prod identity if it was dev-only until now). Rotate credentials at promotion.
  3. Enable the production dashboards. Confirm logs are flowing.
  4. Communicate the launch internally — at minimum: the requesting department, the Champion network, the executive sponsor.
  5. Update the registry: Status = Production, launch date, monitoring link, audit log location.
  6. Schedule the first 30-day review before the launch is celebrated.

Output / gate criteria: Agent live in production, registry updated, first review scheduled.

Decision branches: none — this is the cutover.

Skip-this-step risk: Launch happens, but no one knows. Operators don't realize they own the on-call. Production runs unmonitored.
