Win: CI Codex Audit 7/7 PASS — Complete Phase 0–9.5 Compliance

Date: November 10, 2025 Phases: 0–9.5 (Complete audit scope) Status:COMPLIANCE VERIFIED Owner: Claude Code

What We Proved

The Orion Alliance AI project achieved complete compliance across Phases 0–9.5, with all critical infrastructure, security, and operational readiness deliverables verified and merged.

On November 8, 2025, the Codex automated audit completed with 7/7 PASS, consolidating:

- Phase 7.5 (Cost/Quality Telemetry): 65% cost reduction while maintaining 89% Pass@1 quality

  • Phase 9 (Sentinel Security Agent): 0.102ms p50 / 0.205ms p95 latency (100× under target)
  • Phase 9.5 (Readiness & Observability): All gates, dashboards, SLO tracking, and incident response infrastructure complete

    This milestone establishes a verified baseline for continuous compliance, market-facing communications, and CI/CD automation.

    Reproduce in ≤5 Minutes

    Objective: Verify the 7/7 PASS status and inspect the evidence artifacts.

    Prerequisites

  • git clone https://github.com/Orion-Alliance/orion-alliance-ai.git
    cd orion-alliance-ai
    pnpm install

    Step 1: Inspect the Audit Report (1 minute)

    # View the complete audit report
    cat audits/phase-0-9_5-audit-2025-11-08.md

    Expected: Phase status table with ✅ PASS for P7.5, P9, P9.5

    Step 2: Verify Phase 7.5 Metrics (1 minute)

    # View the cost telemetry proof artifact
    cat reports/p75/replay-20251108.json

    Expected JSON structure:

    {

    "costReduction": 0.65,

    "pass1Quality": 0.89,

    "baseline": {...},

    "result": "PASS"

    }

    Step 3: Verify Phase 9 Metrics (1 minute)

    # View the Sentinel performance proof artifact
    cat reports/sentinel/perf-2025-11-08.json

    Expected JSON structure:

    {

    "p50LatencyMs": 0.102,

    "p95LatencyMs": 0.205,

    "p99LatencyMs": ...,

    "totalChecks": 10000,

    "result": "PASS"

    }

    Step 4: Check CI Gates Are Active (1 minute)

    # Verify the readiness gate configuration
    cat .github/workflows/readiness-9_5.yml

    Expected: File presence checks, SLO validation, gate enforcement

    Step 5: View SLO Tracking Data (1 minute)

    # Inspect the SLO samples
    cat ops/slo/samples.json

    Expected: 4 PASS metrics tracked (sentinel p50, p95, cost, quality)
