# SRE and incident command — qualification

The distinct qualification record for SRE and incident command. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: job:stan:sre-and-incident-command

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Stan

**Owner role**: Chief Security and Engineering Officer

**Owner status**: VERIFIED

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Agent jobs — builder overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/guth.html#builder>) — Inspect the package and stage a local project. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Qualification status

**Result**: NOT RUN

**Disposition**: HELD

**Reviewer**: Not recorded

**Receipt**: Not recorded

This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

## Outcome definitions

**Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect.

**Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason.

**Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer.

**Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent.

The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only.

## Proposed deterministic acceptance tests

Route-resolution and distinct-content checks apply only to the admitted canonical routes in this record. Held source-proposed extensions are non-resolving proposals and are excluded.

- Identity test: the record exactly matches the supplied candidate ID, job ID, slug, title, Stan ownership, role, owner status, summary, source reference, tools, guides, gates, and never-rules.

- Source test: every factual incident claim has a source record ID or locator; unsupported claims are labeled unknown or inference and cannot qualify as observed evidence.

- Authority test: no action is marked Approved or Completed solely because Stan is named owner, because confidence is high, or because a native surface exists.

- Negative test: a request for destructive remediation, money or purchasing, credential changes, public deployment, or legal filing is Held without explicit scoped approval.

- Provider-boundary test: no record claims provider connection, credentials, database authority, customer indexing, publication, deployment, or production effect; local prototype and indexed states remain visible.

- Chronology test: events sort deterministically by timestamp, timezone, source precedence, and revision; missing, contradictory, or future-dated events produce a visible failure state.

- Duplicate test: reusing an incident ID or source SHA-256 with conflicting content is rejected or Held with a duplicate/conflict reason; no silent merge occurs.

- Privacy test: only data necessary for incident response is captured; secrets, credentials, unnecessary personal data, and protected assets are rejected, redacted, or kept Held with a visibility class.

- Accessibility test: all fields and status changes are keyboard operable, have persistent labels, expose text equivalents for non-text indicators, preserve logical focus order, and announce validation errors without relying on color.

- Failure-state test: unavailable source, failed checksum, missing owner, missing approval, stale evidence, conflicting timestamps, failed handoff, and failed receipt each yield a distinct machine-readable state and next action.

- Instrument test: only exact allowed slugs are used; optional instrument outputs are labeled educational or interpretive and never treated as authoritative live measurements.

- Receipt test: every proposed or executed local step has a receipt containing actor, timestamp, input record IDs, output record IDs, state, and failure or rollback information.

- Visibility test: private, held, and public-context records remain partitioned; search and PointGuard context do not expose held or private content to an unauthorized audience.

- Communication test: messages retain recipient, source context, draft state, and approval state; final external send cannot occur from this package.

- Closure test: qualification succeeds only when all mandatory tests pass and no unresolved principal gate, source conflict, privacy issue, accessibility issue, or failure state remains.

## Negative and held-state tests

- Confusing Stan's verified owner status with permission to perform a gated effect.

- Treating a named native surface as evidence of a connected web feature.

- Converting incident hypotheses, confidence, or instrument outputs into facts.

- Chronology corruption from missing timezone, clock skew, duplicate events, or silent revision replacement.

- Exposure of credentials, secrets, customer data, protected assets, or private incident notes.

- Accessibility failures caused by color-only status, unlabeled controls, inaccessible dialogs, or unannounced validation errors.

- Loss of auditability when records are merged, overwritten, or detached from source locators and hashes.

- Deadline pressure causing silent rescheduling, automatic remediation, external sends, or deployment.

- Provider, database, credential, publication, customer-indexing, or production claims unsupported by the observed contract.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This is a proposal-only qualification package for SRE and incident command.

- The supplied source record identifies Stan as owner agent and Chief Security and Engineering Officer with verified owner status.

- The observed contract provides local prototype or indexed surfaces for notes, files, to-dos, agenda, messages, approvals, projects, field guides, agent logs, search, PointGuard, and business review.

- The package requires source-bound evidence, explicit authority checks, privacy minimization, accessibility review, chronology controls, and human-held principal gates.

- The listed instruments are selected from the allowed verified-instrument directory and are optional educational or interpretive aids.

### Still held

- Stan has production access or authority to execute remediation.

- Any provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, or external messaging connection exists.

- Any incident is currently active, resolved, qualified, or attributable to a specific cause.

- Any SLA, uptime, security, continuity, or availability result is live, contractual, or authoritative.

- Any proposal, approval, receipt, or local prototype state represents an external effect.

- Any customer indexing, protected storage, database write, credential change, legal filing, purchase, or public deployment occurred.
