Implementation Plan

The RedactedWorld platform is built incrementally across 9 phases (Phase 0 through Phase 8). Each phase is broken into discrete blocks -- small, independently deliverable units of work with clear acceptance criteria.

Phases are ordered so that each one builds on the infrastructure and services delivered by the phases before it. Within a phase, blocks can often be worked in parallel, but cross-phase dependencies are strictly sequential: a phase cannot begin until every block in its prerequisite phases is complete.

How to Read This Plan

Each phase page contains:

  • Prerequisites -- which phases or blocks must be complete before work can begin.
  • Block table -- every block has an ID, name, description, and acceptance criteria.
  • Estimated scope -- the services, repositories, and files that will be touched.

Guiding Principles

  1. Ship incrementally. Every block should produce a deployable artifact or a visible change in the running system.
  2. Infrastructure first. Phases 0 and 1 establish the documentation site, cluster tooling, and data stores that every later phase depends on.
  3. Verify continuously. Each block includes acceptance criteria that can be checked by a human or automated test before the block is marked complete.
  4. Isolate risk. Pentesting tool execution (Phase 5) runs in ephemeral K8s Jobs with network policies (Phase 7) to prevent lateral movement.
