# activity-core Triggers & Ops

**Workstream:** activity-core Triggers & Ops
**Hub ID:** `3a4f47d9-8bc1-434e-acb4-bed5d4dacda0`
**Depends on:** custodian-WP-0001 (Foundation — Temporal Backbone)
**Status:** DONE (2026-03-28)

## Purpose

Add automated triggering (time-based via Temporal Schedules and event-driven via Event Router),
a REST admin API, Prometheus metrics, and an operational runbook. Transforms the manually-triggered
backbone from WP-0001 into a self-operating service.

## Decisions resolved

- **Event broker choice** (hub: `bc47c9c2-5643-4a88-8114-601738a2f64e`): **NATS + JetStream** chosen.

| `docker-compose.dev.yml` | added NATS service |

## Completion criteria ✓

- Schedules fire `RunActivityWorkflow` automatically on cron cadence ✓
- External event published to NATS reaches the correct ActivityDefinition end-to-end ✓
- ActivityDefinitions are manageable via REST API ✓
- Prometheus metrics are scraped ✓
- Runbook is written ✓
