Production readiness

How to know your Watari is ready for 24/7 use — and the gate that decides when to make a fork public.

The gate. Keep your repo private until: the test suite is green, the efficiency report meets its targets, and you've made the decisions below. OpenWatari's own status and open items are tracked in docs/AUDIT.md.

Readiness checklist

Check	How
Tests green	`uv run python bench/run_all_tests.py` → all passed (SKIP is fine)
Efficiency targets met	`uv run python bench/efficiency_report.py` → every row OK/GOOD (watch streaming TTFT)
Required keys set	`uv run python bench/check_config.py` → TTS, STT, brain LLM, vault present
Live integrations work	`uv run python bench/test_live_integrations.py` → the keys you set respond
Protocol passwords changed	the wizard generated them; confirm they aren't the placeholders
Confirmation tier verified	ask it to send/delete something → it asks first, runs only after "yes"
Voice enrolled (if shared space)	`enroll_voice.py` + `JARVIS_SPEAKER_ID_ENABLED=true`
Tailnet on every device	brain reachable from laptop + phone over `100.x`; nothing public
Vault writable only on the owner host	`JARVIS_VAULT_WRITABLE=true` on the VPS, false on the laptop
Proactivity decision	`JARVIS_PROACTIVE_ENABLED` + quiet hours + budget tuned
Fleet decision	`JARVIS_FLEET_AUTHORIZED` stays false unless you mean it
Device acceptance tests	walk `TODO-NOW.md §3` on each device (TTFW, barge-in, Siri voice, music room, proactive voice, shared memory)

Run it as a service

Brain (VPS, 24/7): run python -m jarvis.brain.server under systemd (it owns the reminder scheduler, proactive tick, and channels). Pattern in deploy/vps/.
Edge (laptop): Windows Task Scheduler / the helpers in scripts/ so it auto-starts and reconnects.
Recurring reminders with the PC off: deploy the ticker in deploy/vps/.

What “done” looks like

Cold-boot the laptop → the edge auto-starts and reconnects to the brain. The wake word fires only on your voice and ignores the TV. A direct question answers in ~1 s; a hard one is delegated (if armed) with spoken progress. Vault search, Telegram, calendar work. A reminder fires proactively — spoken if you're listening, pushed if not — and you can answer it a minute or days later. Every consequential action is read back and confirmed. The suite is green and TTFT is within your tolerance.
