# 07-06 Launch Gate — THE ONE CONSOLIDATED WALK (D-05) + THE BATTERY RECORD (D-04) + THE D-09 CHECKLIST

**Status: BLOCKING — awaiting the human.** Everything automatable is green at the
time of writing: bot 126/126, web 165/165, routing 65/65, search 57/57
(`npm run bot:test`, `npm run web:test`, `npm run routing:test`,
`npm run search:test`), both golden corpora PASS (`npm run search:corpus`,
`npm run routing:corpus`), the A* ladder re-run with p95 **74.055 ms** inside the
documented accepted c3 band (38–93 ms; the 8 ms product budget comparison is
printed with negative headroom — the accepted Phase-6 posture, `node
routing/scripts/measure-route-cpu.mjs`), `npm run privacy-audit` exits 0
(**PRIVACY AUDIT CLEAN — 5 gate(s) passed, 0 violations**; the 07-05 `/help`
pointer adjudicated as a documented doc-pointer static-text class, SA6-pinned),
`npm run budget-audit` exits 0 (**BUDGET AUDIT CLEAN**; the accepted c3 class
and the discovered KV-list over-ceiling are PRINTED findings, carried to
`docs/BUDGETS.md` — never silently accepted), `npm run capture -w web` is
**22/22 non-blank**. The live asset-headers probe re-ran green against the
fresh deploy (`dd55a073`): hashed `/assets/*` answers
`cache-control: public, max-age=31556952, immutable`, the HTML entry answers
`max-age=0, must-revalidate`. The live KV-expiry probe is NOT RUN in the
executor's environment — it needs `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` +
`CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` (see the executor notes).
Per the plan's law: **device results are never faked** — this file records
the protocol; the SUMMARY records the verdict verbatim once the walk runs.
A FAIL holds the phase open.

---

## Part A — the consolidated device-matrix walk (D-05)

ONE walk, four clients, seven interactions. Open the deployed Mini App from
the bot on each client and work through all seven interactions. The verdict
vocabulary, one word per cell:

**PASS** = the interaction completed as designed on this client · **FAIL** = it
did not (the phase stays open) · **NOT RUN** = the client or the step was
unavailable (NOT RUN is never PASS).

| Client | boot | search→route | guidance | minimize/resume | trip-end | theme flip | landscape/fullscreen | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Android (real phone, Telegram Android) | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | |
| iOS (real phone, Telegram iOS) | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | |
| Telegram Desktop | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | |
| Plain browser | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | ⬜ | |

### What to check per interaction

- **boot**: the app reaches LIVE (or the DESIGNED denied state on a client with
  no geolocation — the denied state IS the pass condition there; a blank screen
  is a FAIL).
- **search→route**: a destination resolves to a KL landmark, the route draws,
  the route card shows time + distance.
- **guidance**: the maneuver banner shows distance + arrow + street; the ETA
  advances without whiplash; the haptic fires at the maneuver (where the client
  supports it).
- **minimize/resume**: minimizing the app mid-drive produces a chat turn-card
  within ~3–4 minutes; re-opening resumes at the progressed position.
- **trip-end**: END TRIP → the confirm card → abandon shows the trip-ended card
  and the envelope is deleted.
- **theme flip**: the chrome re-slots light↔dark mid-session, the strip stays
  matte-black, and THE MAP IS UNCHANGED (same style, no flash, no camera jump).
- **landscape/fullscreen**: rotating the device (or the desktop window) keeps
  the banner, the maneuver list, the guidance card and the map all usable with
  no overlap and no clipping; on Telegram 8.0+ clients the Mini App enters
  fullscreen at guidance start, and on older clients it simply stays
  portrait/landscape-usable (that IS the pass condition there).

---

## Part B — the Android battery record (D-04)

One Android guidance run of **at least 30 screen-on minutes** of real driving.
Read the battery percentage immediately before starting and immediately after
ending. Fill every row:

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Device / model | ⬜ |
| OS + Telegram client version | ⬜ |
| Screen brightness | ⬜ |
| Network (Wi-Fi / cellular) | ⬜ |
| Screen-on interval | ⬜ |
| Battery % at start | ⬜ |
| Battery % at end | ⬜ |
| Route / drive description | ⬜ |
| Elapsed minutes | ⬜ |
| Computed %/hr | ⬜ (end − start) ÷ (elapsed minutes ÷ 60) |
| Caveats | ⬜ (background apps, signal loss, other load) |

The <10%/hr target is RECORDED, never synthesized. If the run is shorter than
30 screen-on minutes, or it is interrupted, mark the row NOT RUN and keep this
gate open. Do not extrapolate a percentage from a shorter run.

---

## Part C — the automated half (re-run at gate time)

| # | Command | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | `npm run bot:test` | ⬜ |
| 2 | `npm run web:test` | ⬜ |
| 3 | `npm run routing:test` | ⬜ |
| 4 | `npm run search:test` | ⬜ |
| 5 | `npm run search:corpus` | ⬜ |
| 6 | `npm run routing:corpus` | ⬜ |
| 7 | `node routing/scripts/measure-route-cpu.mjs` | ⬜ |
| 8 | `npm run privacy-audit` | ⬜ |
| 9 | `npm run budget-audit` | ⬜ |
| 10 | `npm run capture -w web` | ⬜ |
| 11 | `npm run privacy-audit -- --live` | ⬜ |
| 12 | `npm run budget-audit -- --live` | ⬜ |

A `--live` probe that reports NOT RUN (exit code 2) means the credentials or
the environment were absent — that is NOT a pass. The launch checklist stays
unsigned until the live probes are green.

---

## Part D — the D-09 launch checklist

- [ ] **Known-limitations shipped** — `docs/KNOWN-LIMITATIONS.md` is in the repo
      and `/help` points at it (en + ms).
- [ ] **Privacy audit signed** — `docs/PRIVACY-AUDIT.md` carries the evidence and
      a human signature; `npm run privacy-audit` exits 0.
- [ ] **Budget record green** — `docs/BUDGETS.md` is in the repo; `npm run
      budget-audit` exits 0 and the c3 degradation class is stated honestly.
- [ ] **Full device matrix walked** — Part A has no FAIL and no NOT RUN.
- [ ] **`/help` and `/privacy` accurate** — the replies match the shipped
      behaviour and the limitations pointer line resolves.
- [ ] **Repo pushed public under GPL-3.0** — the remote is public, the root
      `LICENSE` is GPL-3.0, and `docs/ROAD-GRAPH.md` + the audit commands are
      the fork's onboarding path.

---

## Executor notes for the run

- **The `/cari` menu defect — ROOT-CAUSED and FIXED at this gate's canary
  (2026-10-25).** The long-standing "Telegram-side defect" attribution was
  wrong: `bot/scripts/register-commands.mjs` sent the scope under the wrong
  parameter name (`bot_command_scope`; the Bot API field is `scope`), which
  Telegram silently ignores — every call hit the default scope, the "clear"
  calls wiped the default set entirely, and a stale `all_private_chats` set
  (recorded before `/cari` existed) shadowed everything. After the fix, every
  private-chat scope reads back `help, privacy, cari` via `getMyCommands`.
  Residual: a device that opened the bot before the fix may cache the stale
  menu until the app restarts — if a matrix client shows no `/cari` in the
  menu, restart the client app once before calling it a FAIL; type-the-command
  still works regardless (`docs/KNOWN-LIMITATIONS.md` states this).
- **The cross-metro c3 degradation is the standing posture:** a long
  cross-metro trip may land on the router-pending card (designed, honest
  degradation — the mitigation ladder was exhausted within the $0 law; the ALT
  landmark preprocessing is the committed next-milestone lever). On the walk,
  the pass condition for a degraded cross-metro leg is the DESIGNED
  router-pending card — never a blank screen, never a fabricated route.
- **The R2 / graph upload state:** the KL road graph (`kl-roadgraph.v1.bin`)
  is uploaded to R2 and the live `/api/route` answers with engine-A routes.
  If a redeploy ever drops the graph binding, `/api/route` answers honest
  nulls and long routes degrade — note what you observe.
- **The KV-list over-ceiling is an OPEN decision carried to this gate:** the
  60 s cron × 1 `chat_sessions.list()` per tick derives **1,440 list ops/day
  vs the free plan's 1,000/day ceiling** (source-derived in `docs/BUDGETS.md`
  §The KV list budget). Options: (i) retune the pair — e.g. cron to
  `*/2 * * * *` with `CARD_CADENCE_S = 240` ⇒ 720 lists/day, cards every
  4 min (test updates in `bot/test/guidance-cron.test.mjs`; note a 90 s tick
  is NOT expressible in cron — minimum granularity is 60 s); (ii) accept the
  documented degradation (the tick degrades after ~16 h 40 m of each UTC day
  — benign for a morning driver, not for an evening one); (iii) Workers Paid
  — breaks the $0 law, requires sign-off. Tick the budget-record-green
  checklist item only with a decision made.
- **The live-probe credential caveat:** the `kv-expiry --live` leg needs
  `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` + `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` in the environment (an
  Account-scoped read token; the asset-headers leg needs neither and already
  ran green). Until both live legs PASS, Part D stays unticked. A manual
  corroboration was recorded at gate prep: `npx wrangler kv key list
  --namespace-id=…` returned `[]` — zero live keys, no stale keys, no
  unexpected families (the deletion promise on real infrastructure).
- **Never fake**: if a step cannot be executed (weather, road, time), mark it
  NOT RUN — do not invent an outcome. The phase stays open on any FAIL or NOT
  RUN. Device results are never faked — this file records the protocol; the
  SUMMARY records the verdict verbatim once the walk runs. A FAIL holds the
  phase open.
