Operate evolution like a high-risk software supply chain
The production value of model breeding comes from disciplined operations, not the number of candidate models. This section turns the architecture into a staged program with release controls, cost ceilings, approvals, incident response, and lifecycle management.
Operations guides
- Implementation roadmap
- Minimal breeder
- Production hardening
- Release, canary, and rollback
- Governance and approvals
- Cost and capacity planning
- Federation operations
- Incident response
- Content and model lifecycle
- Plain PHP package contract
Operational definition of done
A capability is not done when a model file exists. It is done when the package is signed, contracts and permissions are explicit, evaluation evidence is reproducible, a rollback target works, observability joins requests to lineage, operators can revoke the artifact, and the maintenance cost is accepted.
New operating practices
The operations section now includes Audit packets, KPI dashboards, and Review cadence. These guides help a team turn breeding theory into an auditable release program rather than a collection of experiments.
