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.
Phase Summary
| Phase | Name | Blocks | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 0 | Documentation Site | 6 | In Progress |
| Phase 1 | Infrastructure Migration | 8 | Not Started |
| Phase 2 | Landing Page & Auth | 6 | Not Started |
| Phase 3 | Admin Portal Core | 7 | Not Started |
| Phase 4 | Domain Verification | 5 | Not Started |
| Phase 5 | Pentesting Tools | 10 | Not Started |
| Phase 6 | Observability | 5 | Not Started |
| Phase 7 | Security & Operations | 4 | Not Started |
| Phase 8 | Support & Polish | 4 | Not Started |
Total blocks: 55
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
- Ship incrementally. Every block should produce a deployable artifact or a visible change in the running system.
- Infrastructure first. Phases 0 and 1 establish the documentation site, cluster tooling, and data stores that every later phase depends on.
- Verify continuously. Each block includes acceptance criteria that can be checked by a human or automated test before the block is marked complete.
- Isolate risk. Pentesting tool execution (Phase 5) runs in ephemeral K8s Jobs with network policies (Phase 7) to prevent lateral movement.
