Operate the estate
Learn to operate the Cogitave estate safely and auditably: work the propose-only request lifecycle, run agentic operations, apply reliability and SRE practice, respond to incidents, and stand up Day 1 operations. By the end you'll be able to keep the estate running under least privilege with every action recorded as evidence. Day 0: this path is scaffolded - the module bodies are authored in a later content phase.

Prerequisites
- Completion of the "Cogitave engineering standards" and "Build on Cogitave Core" paths is recommended.
Modules in this path
- Work the request lifecycle Move a change through the seven-stage request lifecycle, understand why the write tools only propose, and read the Definition of Done that decides when a request is actually done rather than merely worked on.
- Run agentic operations Explain what agentic operations means at Cogitave, state the draft-vs-act rule that decides when an agent acts unattended versus when it stops for a human, and name the real fleet of scheduled and operations agents that run the estate.
- Reliability and SRE Reason about a service's reliability targets the way the reliability standard does - set an SLO from the user's journey, compute the error budget it buys, and operate the service against that budget with burn-rate alerts, sustainable on-call, a toil cap, and the freeze that stops shipping when the budget runs out.
- Respond to incidents Walk the incident-response flow end to end - detection, severity declaration, single-commander roles, containment through a runbook, communication, recovery, and the blameless postmortem - and see how business continuity and disaster recovery extend the same discipline to a region loss or a destructive event.
- Operate from Day 1 Describe the Day 1 operating model - the pinned inner loop and the flow-based outer loop - state the parity contract that keeps the inner loop honest, name Cogitave's flow-based ways of working and why ADR-0025 chose it over Scrum, and explain why the human gate stays an exception inside the flow.
