Relates to 0170 (what deploys where) and 0179 (on-prem delivery).

​
Context

The owner wants everything built, with SaaS first. On-prem and air-gapped builds must stay buildable and tested, but the owner does not want them sold until they are solid. The owner’s delivery answer (mem L935, 2026-10-20) fixes that order.

​
Decision

  1. Build. Everything in the register is built.
  2. SaaS first. The SaaS path is finished and sold first.
  3. On-prem and air-gapped. Builds stay green in CI, so they never break silently. They are not sold, and not described as finished, until they are solid.
  4. Sales. An on-prem offer needs the owner’s decision after the on-prem gates (ADR 0179) pass in CI.

​
Consequences

  • On-prem work is never lost to a broken build, but it is not on the revenue path.
  • The owner decides when on-prem is sold, so the sales promise is not made by a build status.

​
Enforcement

planned — the on-prem CI matrix runs on every release, and a red on-prem build blocks the release tag.
