Autonomous Entity Mesh — field pilot (30-day)

Operational pilot to validate Autonomous Entity Mesh before Experimental → Stable promotion. Separate from the enterprise-ops soak clock — Entity Mesh has its own start file and weekly smoke checklist.

Promotion checklist: entity-mesh-stable-promotion.md

Start the pilot clock (one-time)

chmod +x scripts/entity_mesh_field_soak_init.sh
./scripts/entity_mesh_field_soak_init.sh

Writes .spanda/entity-mesh-field-soak-start.txt (UTC YYYY-MM-DD). The file is gitignored; record the start date in fleet CMDB or a pilot tracking issue.

Variable Default
SPANDA_ENTITY_MESH_FIELD_SOAK_START_FILE .spanda/entity-mesh-field-soak-start.txt
SPANDA_FIELD_SOAK_MIN_DAYS 30

Weekly pilot smoke

Run at least once per week during the soak window:

./scripts/entity_mesh_smoke.sh

With Control Center and gRPC (matches CI Integration):

spanda control-center serve --config crates/spanda-config/tests/fixtures/warehouse/spanda.toml &
CC_PID=$!
sleep 2
./scripts/entity_mesh_smoke.sh --grpc-bind 127.0.0.1:50051
kill "$CC_PID" 2>/dev/null || true

Manual CLI checks on the warehouse fixture:

export CONFIG=crates/spanda-config/tests/fixtures/warehouse/spanda.toml
spanda mesh discover --config "$CONFIG"
spanda mesh health --config "$CONFIG"
spanda mesh topology --config "$CONFIG"
spanda mesh graph --config "$CONFIG"

Control Center: open the Entity Mesh tab — verify coordinator, Discover/Refresh, and topology graph.

Exit criteria (Stable promotion)

  1. 30 days elapsed on the Entity Mesh soak file.
  2. ./scripts/entity_mesh_stable_promotion_gate.sh passes (soak + audit prep + crate tests + smoke).
  3. External security audit sign-off on .spanda/security-audit-prep.json.
  4. Update docs/feature-status.md — Autonomous Entity Mesh row → Stable.

CI Nightly runs implementation checks only (SPANDA_ENTITY_MESH_SKIP_SOAK=1 SPANDA_ENTITY_MESH_SKIP_AUDIT=1).
