ThemisDB GA Promotion — Final Governance Sign-Off

Document Type: GA Gate Closure — Final Governance and Promotion Sign-Off
Scope: v2.4.0-rc1 → v2.4.0 GA — Batch D (Final)
Date Opened: 2026-07-20
Last Updated: 2026-08-18
Status: 🟢 BATCH E COMPLETE — All technical gates D-1..D-10 + E-1..E-5 PASS (2026-08-07); Module Phase 5-6 closure complete; Wave D D4-00 CI fixes shipped 2026-08-18 (libfmt-dev + benchmark CI unblocked); Section 9 human sign-off required for final promotion Owner: platform-release@themisdb

Wave D D4-00 — Build Verification & Evidence Status (2026-08-18 Update)

Current Status: 🟡 CI FIXES SHIPPED — AWAITING RUN COMPLETION

Root-Cause Analysis & Actions (2026-08-18):

Three specific evidence blockers identified, root-caused, and addressed:

Evidence Item 1 — Completed develop CI-build proof point

  • Root cause: libfmt-dev and companion system packages missing from ci-build.yml setup-cpp-build action, causing Build step to fail immediately (0 compile requests, configure succeeds in 34s then build exits non-zero).
  • Fix: PR #5999 (merged 2026-08-18 19:12 UTC) added full package list to the CI setup action.
  • Status: 🟡 CI run 32175323929 triggered on develop (commit 450e74c) is pending. On successful completion this evidence item closes.

Evidence Item 2 — Successful production-like benchmark binary builds

  • Root cause 1 (nightly sweep): cmake --preset nightly-bench-sweep uses vcpkg-base (sets CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE to vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake) but the CI job never checks out the vcpkg submodule — configure fails at CMakeLists.txt:214 (include cmake/Dependencies.cmake).
  • Root cause 2 (GPU CPU-fallback): Missing libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libpugixml-dev zlib1g-dev from the fallback job's install step.
  • Fix (2026-08-18):
    • nightly-benchmark-sweep: replaced cmake --preset nightly-bench-sweep with a direct cmake invocation (no vcpkg, system packages, THEMIS_AUTO_BOOTSTRAP_DEPS=OFF); added libpugixml-dev libyaml-cpp-dev libmimalloc-dev to install step.
    • gpu-bench-cpu-fallback: added libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libpugixml-dev zlib1g-dev.
  • Status: 🟡 Next nightly ci-benchmarks run (02:00 UTC) or manual workflow_dispatch will validate. Green Voice + Nightly-Sweep = evidence item closes (CPU/OS-level; GPU hardware is separate).

Evidence Item 3 — Benchmark execution on representative hardware (GPU)

  • Status: 🔴 OPEN — requires self-hosted GPU runner.
  • GPU jobs (CUDA sm_80/sm_89/sm_90, HIP/ROCm) have been cancelled every nightly run since 2026-08-15; no gpu-cuda/gpu-hip self-hosted runners are online.
  • Action required (human): Bring up ≥1 self-hosted gpu-cuda runner with CUDA 12.x for Wave A GPU baseline capture (bench_gpu_a8_baselines, bench_voice_a8_baselines p95/p99 latency baselines).
  • Scope note: GPU evidence is required only for Wave A GPU/Voice Q4 2026 items — it is not a blocker for v2.4.0 GA CPU-path promotion (Transaction, Sharding, Replication modules).

Pending CI Runs (2026-08-18 19:30 UTC):

Run ID Workflow Branch Commit Status
32175323929 ci-build develop 450e74c 🟡 pending

1. Purpose

This document is the single-entry governance record for the controlled promotion of ThemisDB v2.4.0-rc1 from the develop branch into the community release lane as v2.4.0 GA.

A human release approver must complete Section 9 before any tag or release-lane merge is made.

2. Gate-Completion Matrix

The following table summarises the full gate chain required by RELEASE_STRATEGY.md §2.3 and VERSIONING.md §3.1. Every gate must be PASS or explicitly deferred with approval before the human sign-off in Section 9 can be granted.

3. Promotion Checklist

The release engineer must verify each item immediately before creating the GA tag. Until every checkbox below is marked [x], promotion remains blocked (NO-GO):

  • develop HEAD passes the full release_critical CTest suite (no failures) — includes Process, Failover, Updates module tests ✅
  • Wave 7 hard gates (GATE-W7-01..06) confirmed PASS on current HEAD
  • Wave 8 hard gates (GATE-W8-01..04) confirmed PASS on current HEAD
  • Wave 9 hard gates (GATE-W9-01..06) confirmed PASS on current HEAD
  • docs/security/GA_SANITIZER_EVIDENCE_BUNDLE.md reviewed and accepted by Security Lead
  • security/pentest/GA_PENTEST_EVIDENCE_BUNDLE.md reviewed and accepted by Security Lead
  • No new CRITICAL findings in server, llm, sharding, process, failover, or updates module gap registers ✅
  • CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased] section moved to [2.4.0] entry
  • VERSIONING.md version table updated to reflect v2.4.0 GA stable status
  • ROADMAP.md updated with all Phase 0-6 completion markers — Process/Failover/Updates Phase 1-6 closures documented ✅
  • research/implementation_influence/by_module.md Soll-Ist matrix verified (6 modules)
  • docs/DOXYGEN_COVERAGE_REPORT.md confirms >99% header file documentation
  • Branch develop → community merge reviewed and approved
  • Tag v2.4.0 created on the approved community merge commit
  • Release artefact (binary/package) built from the v2.4.0 tag, not from develop HEAD

4. Known Deferred Items (Not Blocking GA)

The following items have been explicitly deferred from the v2.4.0 GA scope with approval:

ID Item Deferral Rationale Target
DEF-01 Build reproducibility on community-release (RocksDB system-package path) + linux-release (Ninja + vcpkg) Blocked by system-package availability and vcpkg toolchain requirements; CI uses vcpkg path; SETUP.md troubleshooting added (2026-08-01) v2.4.1 patch
DEF-02 Graph/query optimisation backlog (plan-cache, cost-model, pool) Behind measurable Wave-7 regression gate; safe to defer v2.0.0
DEF-03 WAL/failover sharding boundary evidence attachment ✅ COMPLETED (2026-08-01): SHARDING_P6_CROSS_MODULE_RECOVERY_VERIFICATION.md + risk acceptance doc + CMake dependency fixes v2.4.0 GA
DEF-04 Gossip-port firewall documentation (PTR-02) Infra-layer responsibility; documented in deployment runbook Operator runbook

5. Release Target and Branch Flow

develop  ──(gate evidence complete)──►  community  ──(tag v2.4.0)──►  release
                                            │
                                    CHANGELOG [Unreleased] → [2.4.0]
                                    VERSION file → 2.4.0
                                    RELEASE_TYPE → stable

Per BRANCHING_STRATEGY.md:

  • Normal implementation → develop
  • Community release work → community (never main)
  • No legacy branch names (main, millitary) in this flow

6. Rollback Plan

If a post-tag regression is discovered within the controlled promotion window:

  1. Revert the community merge commit (do not delete the v2.4.0 tag; create v2.4.0-revoked annotation).
  2. Open a severity-P0 incident on develop referencing the failing gate.
  3. Re-run the full release_critical suite to confirm the regression scope.
  4. Fix on develop, re-confirm all gates, and re-open this sign-off document as v2.4.0-patch.
