# Phase 8 - Telemetry, Governance, Compliance Validation

## Scope

Phase 8 productionizes telemetry, governance, and compliance operations with environment-aware configs, automation, and playbooks.

## Deliverables Verified

- Telemetry templates (`configs/telemetry/*.yaml`) covering local, staging, production plus OTEL collector configs and alert rules.
- CLI enhancements: `aurora-se telemetry init/dashboard/export` with environment profiles, remote links, and interval metadata.
- Governance automation enriches bundles with ethics charter, SLO summaries, SBOM/CVE status, and alert rules (`aurora/governance/automation.py`).
- Compliance checklist automation via `aurora-se governance compliance` using `configs/compliance/soc2_checklist.yaml`.
- Incident response and telemetry alert runbooks (`docs/runbooks/incident_response.md`, `docs/runbooks/telemetry_alerts.md`).
- Governance and telemetry documentation updates in `docs/cli/`.

## Automated Verification

```bash
pytest -k "telemetry or governance"
pytest
```

Targeted CLI tests cover telemetry dashboard/export metadata and governance bundle/compliance flows. Full suite reports `85 passed`.

## Manual Checks

- `aurora-se telemetry init --environment staging` boots staging configuration and reports collector path.
- `aurora-se telemetry dashboard --remote --export` outputs Grafana link and metadata JSON.
- `aurora-se telemetry export --interval 24h` creates `.meta.json` companion with interval annotations.
- `aurora-se governance bundle --sbom artifacts/sbom/latest.json --cve-report artifacts/cve.json` generates enriched bundle.
- `aurora-se governance report --weekly` and `--monthly` produce expected markdown outputs.
- `aurora-se governance compliance` summarizes SOC2 checklist status for audits.

## Exit Criteria

- [x] Telemetry load/export tooling validated with metadata annotations.
- [x] Governance bundle reviewed including ethics charter, SLOs, and alert rules.
- [x] Compliance checklist automation available and documented.
- [x] Incident drill documented with updated runbooks and alert playbooks.
- [x] Full test suite passing (`85 passed`).

Phase 8 is production-ready; proceed to Phase 9 packaging and launch preparation.
