Operational Handbook

Authority Framework

ETHRAEON operates under a strict authority hierarchy. Every action is scoped to an authority code.

• CEO: Full constitutional override. S. Jason Prohaska. Sole holder.
• AC-2 (CFO): Capital allocation, audit authority, financial governance.
• AC-3 (Technical Lead): Code authority over /app and /ops. Deploy permissions.
• AC-4 (Operator): Execute-only. No override capability. Follows runbook procedures.

Deployment Protocol

Pre-Deploy Checklist

• Run ./tools/status.sh - verify system state
• Run node tools/validate_canon_pack.js - must exit 0
• Run ./tools/validate_repo_integrity.sh - SHA verification
• Confirm deployment token exists: ~/.ethraeon_deploy_token

Production Deploy (VPS: Iceland)

Execute ./ops/deploy/manual_release_deploy.sh <target> with valid AC-3+ credentials. All deploys emit EDG evidence nodes.

Incident Response

When constitutional violations are detected, the system fails closed. No manual override below Principal. Incidents follow the OPERATIONS_RUNBOOK escalation path: detect → isolate → evidence → remediate → postmortem.
