docs(architecture): map every control-plane layer to its doc and enforcing code - #16852
Conversation
…rcing code (#16835) Verified all 17 layers against current main, not against each layer's own doc's claims. 13 layers show real drift or a missing doc (child issues 16839-16851); 3 are clean; 1 (scaling) is descriptive ops guidance, not an enforced control. Two most severe findings: emergency_system_stop is a functional no-op (never passes affected_tasks, nothing reads the resulting paused-task set), and the main chat path's LLM cost tracker calls a method that does not exist on its own class, silently broken for ~5 months -- the general Budget Policy hard-stop has never fired for normal chat/LLM usage. Resolves the umbrella's two open questions: tool permissions are real, live, fail-closed enforcement with no comprehensive doc (doc gap, not code gap); rate limiting/cost control exists but is broken at the one call site that matters for general traffic (a narrower, working spend limiter exists for the LLC feature only).

claim to post-bootstrap updates, explicitly preserving the documented deploy.sh
first-time bootstrap exception.
- Line 39: Update the layer 6 row in the architecture map so the Doc column

- Line 41: Update row 8 in the architecture control-plane map to classify the
retention control as “Doc gap,” reflecting the four retention tasks’ enforcement
of ssot_config.*_retention_days without documented coverage; retain `#16846` for
the disconnected retention_policies table and ignored
anonymize_instead_of_delete flag. Leave row 17 classified as “Drifted” and
preserve its existing documentation column.

Keep issue tracking separate from the defining document.
The map defines the Doc column as the document that defines each layer. The survey method also requires the claimed document to be read and compared with the enforcing code. umbrella #16777`` is an issue reference, not a defining document. Use *(none found)* or name the actual defining document, and keep `#16777` in the issue or evidence field.

Classify the retention and rate-limit rows separately.
Row 8 should use Doc gap: the four purge tasks enforce time-boxed deletion from ssot_config.*_retention_days, but no document describes this control. Keep #16846 for the disconnected retention_policies table and ignored anonymize_instead_of_delete flag.
Keep row 17 as Drifted: its broad rate-limit and spend-control claim overstates the implemented coverage. General limiters are not called, general budget tracking is unreachable, and only LLC spend limiting is enforced. Drifted covers overclaimed coverage and does not require a defining document in the Doc column.

The survey defines only Enforced, Drifted, Not a control, and Doc gap. Enforced (one doc-scoping gap) is an undeclared fifth value. Set the Verdict cell to Enforced and record the documentation gap in the finding or issue field.

Thinking Path
The umbrella (#16835) asked for one document mapping every control-plane layer to its doc and enforcing code — verified against current code, not inherited from each layer's own doc's claims. Given the size (17 layers), split the work into five parallel investigations by layer group, each explicitly instructed to re-run any cited command and re-read any cited code rather than trust doc text, then synthesized the results into one map with a stated survey method so the next person can re-run it instead of re-deriving it. Two open questions in the umbrella (tool permissions, rate limiting) needed resolving one way or the other rather than left unknown.
What Changed
docs/architecture/CONTROL_PLANE_MAP.md: for each of 17 layers, what it controls, the doc that defines it, and the exactfile:symbolthat enforces it today, plus a verdict (enforced / drifted / not a control / doc gap) with quoted evidence.docs/architecture/_index.mdunder Monitoring & Security.affected_tasks, so it pauses nothing while reporting success) and bug(billing): LLMCostTracker.record() doesn't exist — main chat path's cost tracking and budget enforcement silently broken since April #16845 (the main chat path's cost tracker calls a method that doesn't exist on its own class, silently broken since April — the general budget hard-stop has never fired for normal chat traffic).Not re-filed as new issues — already tracked and referenced from the map instead: #16579/#16804 (secrets
created_by), #16771/#16791 (RAG chat-path firewall gap, child of #16777).Single-issue rationale
This PR delivers one coherent survey document (#16835) whose entire value is being a single, internally-consistent map — splitting it would leave readers cross-referencing partial documents for no benefit. The 13 things it surfaced along the way are follow-up fixes scattered across unrelated subsystems (auth, terminal approval, billing, retention, backups, governance docs, model routing...) that cannot sensibly ride in this PR or be reviewed by one person in one pass; they are filed as their own issues and Refs'd, not Closes'd, here.
Verification
Docs-only change (no application code touched). Each of the 17 rows was independently verified by the investigating agent against current
main— reading the real file, not the doc's or issue's claim — with citations quoted inline in the map (file:line, grep commands and their actual output, or both). A second reviewer (4b) independently re-ran three of those checks after the fact: confirmedPermissionEnforcementExtension'sfail_closed=True/priority=0registration on the real lifespan singleton (initialization/lifespan.py:524,540), re-ran the autoscaling grep behind the Scaling reclassification, and read all four retention-purge task files directly to confirm none referenceRetentionPolicy— no row was found claiming "enforced" where the underlying child issue only found a doc gap.CI: markdown-only diff; no code-touching checks apply beyond doc/lint gates.
