SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams handle live Kubernetes change events by turning an incoming cub-scout watch stream into a clear per-event Pilot decision (PASS/WATCH/ASK/BLOCK) with supporting evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event-driven acceptance kernel: Consumes the real-time cub-scout watch JSONL/webhook stream and renders a verdict per event as they fire.
  • Receipt-first fast path: Preferentially uses inline receipts emitted by cub-scout watch --emit-receipt-on (e.g., drift.detected, ownership.changed) to decide quickly without synchronous follow-up calls.
  • Evidence-backed slow path: When receipts are absent or unverifiable, fetches context using cub-scout read-only commands such as compare three-way, explain, and receipt verify to reach an evidence-complete decision.
  • Operational guardrails: Expects receipt to be optionally omitted when receipt-building is suppressed or fails, and requires consumers to check key presence rather than treating null as valid evidence.
  • Best-fit scenarios: Use during real-time deployment governance and alerting where you need immediate, audit-friendly decisions from drift and ownership change signals.

Quick Start

Use the skill by wiring Pilot to receive cub-scout watch webhook events for drift and ownership changes, and then decide PASS/WATCH/ASK/BLOCK per incoming event using the inline receipt verdict when present.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get real-time alerts for Kubernetes and GitOps configuration drift?

Real-time alerts for Kubernetes and GitOps drift are generated by consuming a live watch event stream and rendering a per-event governance verdict (PASS/WATCH/ASK/BLOCK) with optional inline receipts for immediate audit-friendly decisions.

How does event-driven drift detection handle missing receipt verification data?

Event-driven drift detection handles missing receipts by falling back to a slow path that fetches context using read-only commands like three-way compare and explain to reach an evidence-complete decision without mutating the cluster.

Can I use inline receipts to automate GitOps ownership change governance decisions?

You can use inline receipts emitted by watch events to automate GitOps ownership change governance by mapping the receipt predicate verdict directly to a PASS/WATCH/ASK/BLOCK decision without synchronous follow-up calls.

What is the best way to render audit-friendly verdicts for live Kubernetes deployment changes?

The best way to render audit-friendly verdicts for live Kubernetes changes is to wire an event-driven acceptance kernel that processes each drift or ownership change event individually and attaches fallback evidence when receipts are absent.

Does Kubernetes drift alerting require mutating actions to reach a governance decision?

Kubernetes drift alerting does not require mutating actions because the governance decision is reached safely using read-only evidence gathering and receipt predicate mapping to render verdicts without modifying cluster or authority systems.
