 # Corp v1 Delivery Channel
 
 ## Overview
 
-This skill owns delivery health for a Corp v1 project. It monitors the project's `general`, `scope`, `architecture`, `ui-ux`, `kanban`, `delivery`, and `releases` channels and implements only tasks whose parent Feature has explicit human `Approved for Implementation` evidence and which a human team member separately admitted to Kanban Focus `InBacklog`.
+## Canonical Scope Status Vocabulary
+
+Before reporting or changing any lifecycle status, read the project's current Ways of Working Scope page. Use only the canonical values defined there.
+
+Ideas, Epics, and Features:
+
+```text
+IN_BACKLOG → IN_DESIGN → READY_FOR_DELIVERY → IN_DELIVERY → TO_BE_RELEASED → DONE
+```
+
+Tasks:
+
+```text
+IN_BACKLOG → READY_FOR_DELIVERY → IN_PROGRESS → TO_BE_RELEASED → DONE
+```
+
+`READY_FOR_DELIVERY` is the exact Task's Focus-admitted, pickup-ready state. It means Architecture, dependencies, implementation boundaries, verification steps, and Kanban selection are complete; implementation has not started. Delivery claims that Task by moving it directly to `IN_PROGRESS`. Never require or invent a second Focus-admission decision after `READY_FOR_DELIVERY`.
+
+`CANCELLED` is an exceptional terminal status. `BLOCKED` is a separate flag with a reason and evidence; it never replaces the lifecycle status.
+
+Never invent, abbreviate, or substitute lifecycle values such as `Ready`, `Active`, `Delivered`, `Complete`, `Awaiting CI`, or `Overrun`. Those phrases may describe activity only when clearly separated from the canonical status field. If the canonical status cannot be verified, report `status unverified` and inspect the source record rather than guessing.
+
+A merge or successful CI does not automatically mean `DONE`. Releasable application Tasks normally move from `IN_PROGRESS` to `TO_BE_RELEASED`; `DONE` requires the applicable release or completion evidence. Status reports must show the exact canonical value even when a separate plain-language action is also included.
+
+This skill owns delivery health for a Corp v1 project. It monitors the project's `general`, `scope`, `architecture`, `ui-ux`, `kanban`, `delivery`, and `releases` channels and implements only tasks whose parent Feature has explicit human `Approved for Implementation` evidence and whose exact Task status is `READY_FOR_DELIVERY`. That status is the Focus-admitted pickup handoff; no separate post-status admission gate exists.
 
 Its scope includes coding, unit testing, builds, continuous integration, review readiness, delivery blockers, and maintenance of the project documentation's `Ways of Working` and `Engineering` areas.

-Load the global `corp-v1--glossary` skill from `https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/home-v1-skills-code-agent/corp-v1--glossary` whenever project documentation needs to define or explain a reusable term. Maintain one canonical definition in the project's final top-level **Glossary** area and link to it from the owning domain page; do not duplicate glossary-style explanations across channel documentation.

+## Shared Corp v1 System Login
+
+When an authorized task requires login to a Corp v1 system being built or operated, follow the shared policy in `corp-v1-main` and use only the Bitwarden-injected runtime secrets named:
+
+```text
+HL_V1_SSO_EMAIL
+HL_V1_SSO_PASSWORD
+```
+
+Secret availability is capability, not authorization. Verify the destination origin and task purpose before login. Never print, inspect, log, hash, serialize, paste, screenshot, or persist either value; never place a value in a command line, URL, file, repository, prompt, Discord message, browser console, test fixture, CI output, or generated artifact. Never ask a human to paste a value into chat. If a variable is unavailable, report only its missing name and request Bitwarden/gateway injection. Login does not authorize account recovery, MFA or credential changes, permission changes, billing, spending, destructive operations, or access outside the approved project task.

 ## Proactive Iteration Requirement
 
-Every delivery iteration must complete at least one useful, safe activity for an implementation-approved Feature or delivery-health need: implement an unblocked task, add tests, diagnose/fix CI, improve build tooling, update real Ways of Working/Engineering guidance, verify dependency readiness, or document a concrete blocker with evidence. Never create filler changes. Select work only from Kanban Focus `InBacklog`, backed by architecture's approved task/dependency plan, and update progress in project documentation.

+### Per-project reusable CI base images
+
+Each Corp v1 project should own `corp-v1-<code>/corp-v1-<code>-base-images` when stable runtimes or operating-system tools would otherwise be downloaded repeatedly in application CI.
+
+- Keep one folder per image, with its Dockerfile, machine-readable version/platform metadata, usage documentation, build helper, and smoke contract.
+- Pin the upstream base by digest and assert exact runtime/tool versions, architecture, numeric non-root identity, writable workspace, CA trust, Git, shell, and other required tools.
+- Build and smoke-test without registry credentials on pull requests. Publish only from the trusted integration branch using a narrowly scoped Harbor robot secret.
+- Publish immutable full-source-SHA tags, read back the Harbor artifact digest, and consume the image from project workflows by digest—not `latest`, a mutable version tag, or an unverified local name.
+- Extend fail-closed tests to reject broad publication triggers, mutable tags, secret access from candidate/PR paths, shell interpolation, wrong digests, and reintroduced runtime setup actions.
+- Prefer the verified job image over repeated runtime or package-manager setup actions. Keep lockfile-frozen application dependency installation in the application repository; do not bake project dependencies into a generic base image.
+- Treat the first real Gitea build, runtime smoke test, Harbor publication, digest readback, and a consumer workflow at the exact candidate SHA as separate acceptance layers.
+- Repair image or publication failures forward only. Preserve the last known-good digest for consumers until the replacement image and consuming workflow pass exact-head CI.
+
+### Runtime-resource placement
+
+CI jobs and developer workstations must not provision databases, queues, object stores, caches, brokers, or other application runtime services. When implementation or validation needs such a resource, provision it under the owning application on the approved shared runtime platform through that project's GitOps repository, then consume it through a governed application or test interface.
+
+- Keep every non-production environment—including development, integration, test, staging, and preview—and all of its resources isolated from production and from other non-production environments. Destructive or concurrent validation requires a per-run database/schema/role or explicit serialization; it must not reset shared data.
+- CI may orchestrate exact-head validation, but it must not start application runtime-resource service containers or receive application-resource credentials. Harmless process-local test doubles and build tools are not runtime resources. Prefer a narrowly governed in-platform Job/Workflow trigger so a private resource does not need public, NodePort, or runner-network exposure.
+- Persistent storage must follow the project's named platform storage operations skill; load that skill before designing or mutating storage. If the project instead names an approved storage procedure, read that exact procedure and verify its current provenance before acting. If neither an approved skill nor an approved procedure is identified, stop and route the missing decision to Architecture/platform operations; do not infer a provider or provisioning method. Never accept a dynamically provisioned volume whose reclaim policy can delete durable data when the PVC is removed.
+- Secrets come from the approved external secret store; never commit connection strings or credentials.
+- Provision and verify required runtime resources before treating dependent application work as deployable. Missing infrastructure blocks deployment, not safe code-only work whose tests do not require that resource.
