+# Maze Next Gen kickoff — 2026-08-17
+
+## Context
+
+RootAtSkic proposed rebuilding Maze as a governed multi-cloud inventory and visualization platform. The proposal was refreshed to the current six-channel and thirteen-skill Corp v1 model.
+
+## Decision
+
+Begin provisioning **Maze Next Gen**, code `mazeng`, as a restricted Corp v1 project with RootAtSkic as sponsor and accountable lead and Hermes (`jarvis-at-skic`) as the initial technical member.
+
+Approval was explicit from Board member `discord:1518725627845283888` in message `1539019060770242611`.
+
+## Authorized resources
+
+- Exactly six same-project Discord channels under `corp-v1`: General, Scope, Architecture, Kanban, Delivery, and Releases.
+- `corp-v1-mazeng` project organization.
+- `corp-v1-mazeng-skills-code-agent` skills organization.
+- Application and documentation repositories.
+- Seven adopted engineering skills and six adopted channel skills, all suffixed `--mazeng`.
+- Six same-project staggered hourly synchronization jobs.
+- Corresponding project and skills organization teams for RootAtSkic and `jarvis-at-skic`.
+- Two approved non-secret Harbor organization variables and secret-name-only validation.
+- Global `home-v1-skills-code-agent/drawio-main` reference without a project copy.
+
+## Initial deliverable
+
+A governed discovery MVP for one organization and one initial hyperscaler using read-only credentials, normalized timestamped inventory snapshots, version change visibility, an organization-scoped UI, interactive estate diagrams, and extensible provider-adapter contracts.
+
+The first hyperscaler and exact inventory scope are not pre-approved implementation choices; they must be proposed and decided through the project lifecycle.
+
+## Owner
+
+RootAtSkic
+
+## Current state
+
+Approved and provisioning. Completion evidence and any remaining gates will be appended after remote verification.

+| Code | `mazeng` |
+| Status | Provisioning |
+| Approved | 2026-08-17 |

+| Team | [Maze Next Gen Team](/teams/mazeng/) |
+
+## Purpose
+
+Rebuild Maze as a multi-cloud inventory and visualization platform that connects to major hyperscalers, discovers organizations' services and resources, versions normalized inventory, and presents each organization's cross-cloud estate as navigable diagrams.
+
+## Initial deliverable
+
+A governed discovery MVP for one organization and one initial hyperscaler that uses read-only provider access, inventories selected cloud containers and resources, stores normalized timestamped snapshots, displays version changes, provides an organization-scoped UI, renders an interactive estate diagram, and establishes provider-adapter contracts for later hyperscalers.
+
+## Approved kickoff scope
+
+- Exactly six same-project Discord channels under `corp-v1`.
+- Dedicated project and skills/code-agent Gitea organizations.
+- Application and documentation repositories.
+- Seven adopted engineering skills and six adopted channel skills.
+- Six staggered hourly synchronization jobs.
+- Global `drawio-main` reference; no project copy.
+- Project organization Harbor variables and secret-name-only validation.
+
+## Approval evidence
+
+RootAtSkic (`discord:1518725627845283888`) explicitly approved the updated proposal in Board message `1539019060770242611` on 2026-08-17.
+
+## Provisioning status
+
+Resource IDs, repository SHAs, CI tasks, Pages evidence, job IDs, and remaining gates will be added after independent remote verification. The first hyperscaler and exact inventory scope remain product Features to be decided through the project lifecycle rather than assumed at kickoff.
