# activity-core cluster-owned deploy/verify

## Context

activity-core `ACTIVITY-WP-0007-T06` needs live Railiance cluster evidence for
the disabled ops inventory probe. That live verification should be owned by the
cluster/operator layer, not by arbitrary activity-core sessions with local
`kubectl` assumptions.

This workplan creates a cluster-owned path that keeps credentials in
operator-owned locations while returning only non-secret evidence to State Hub.

## Implement cluster-owned verifier

```task
id: RAILIANCE-WP-0012-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3769fdfb-b4f1-431b-a55a-672d93b3ea55"
```

Add a repeatable command that:

- reconciles the activity-core Railiance runtime bundle;
- reruns `actcore-sync`;
- checks the `ops-service-inventory-probes` ActivityDefinition exists and is
  still disabled;
- triggers the disabled definition manually through the in-cluster API path;
- verifies a fresh `ops_inventory_probe` progress event exists in State Hub;
- posts a non-secret State Hub evidence note for activity-core to cite.

Implemented as `tools/cmd/railiance-verify-activity-core` with Makefile target
`verify-activity-core`. The script defaults to the `railiance01` SSH executor;
use `ACTIVITY_CORE_CLUSTER_HOST=local` only for an explicitly selected local
`kubectl` context.

## Run live verification and publish evidence

```task
id: RAILIANCE-WP-0012-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "6d7f87c3-a533-4de1-84de-9ca65f2e2779"
```

Run `make verify-activity-core` against the Railiance cluster. On success, cite
the State Hub evidence note id in this task and in activity-core
`ACTIVITY-WP-0007-T06`.

If a gate fails, the verifier must still post a non-secret State Hub note with
the failing gate and last completed evidence fields.

2026-06-15: Completed against Railiance01 after refreshing the same-tag
`activity-core:railiance01-prod` image from activity-core commit `ab17378`,
importing digest `sha256:cff43c72455b9fc4fc11a0a997b4671a38987bb4583a600245dd961965af0e40`
into k3s containerd, syncing the current runtime bundle to
`/home/tegwick/activity-core/k8s/railiance`, and restarting the activity-core
runtime deployments. The verifier reconciled the runtime bundle, completed
`actcore-sync`, confirmed `ops-service-inventory-probes` exists and remains
disabled, triggered it manually, verified State Hub progress
`4c82360d-33e7-455b-8ab4-33facd4a3f8e`, and posted evidence note
`baeeaeac-aa6d-4406-ae64-e54577f21386`.

An intermediate verifier invocation accidentally targeted the local
CoulombCore `kubectl` context. It created only `actcore-*` runtime resources in
the existing `activity-core` namespace; those resources were removed with the
runtime manifest cleanup, and the pre-existing `llm-connect` deployment remains
running.

Operational cleanup note: the successful Railiance01 verifier run used
`ACTIVITY_CORE_RESTART_DEPLOYMENTS=1` after importing the same-tag image. The
script was corrected afterward to restart only `actcore-api`,
`actcore-worker`, and `actcore-event-router`, because
`actcore-state-hub-bridge` uses host networking and a rolling restart leaves a
new bridge pod pending behind the host-bound running pod. A 2026-06-16 cleanup
check showed the bridge rollout had settled on Railiance01: the host-bound
bridge pod was running and the replacement ReplicaSet was scaled to zero, so no
manual live cleanup was needed.

## Handoff closure to activity-core

```task
id: RAILIANCE-WP-0012-T03
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "43f652c6-fcc4-49fa-90cc-4122eb6d5321"
```

After live evidence exists, update activity-core `ACTIVITY-WP-0007-T06` to cite
the Railiance evidence and close it if Inter-Hub submission is active or
explicitly deferred with the clean State Hub fallback result.

2026-06-15: Updated activity-core `ACTIVITY-WP-0007-T06` to cite Railiance
evidence note `baeeaeac-aa6d-4406-ae64-e54577f21386` and close the task with
Inter-Hub submission explicitly deferred while the State Hub fallback evidence
path is verified.
