Proof Sprint Planning

🧾 Proof Sprint Planning

Helix operates on short, verifiable sprints — compact development windows focused on producing measurable, reproducible proof artifacts.

Each sprint results in one or more sealed records (documents, logs, configurations, or API outputs), ensuring that progress remains auditable even at high velocity.

Sprint Principles

1. Micro-Scope, Macro-Proof — Keep sprint scope small enough to complete within a single focused work cycle.
2. Proof Over Progress — Every tangible output must yield a signed artifact or verifiable log.
3. Reproducibility First — All steps are deterministic, scriptable, and human-confirmable.
4. Human Witness Required — A sprint closes only after its proof has been reviewed and sealed.
5. Transparency by Default — All non-confidential proofs are published under [[Category:Proofs]] for public verification.

Sprint Flow

Phase	Output	Verification
Plan	Mini-outline + target proofs	Markdown plan sealed via helix_seal.sh
Execute	Work performed + logs	Prometheus or CLI proof capture
Review	Audit summary	Witness acknowledgment + hash verification
Publish	Public wiki entry	Ledger insert (integrity: SEAL-OK)

Cadence: several short iterations per day — measured in proofs, not hours.

Each sprint ends with a Helix Seal Block summarizing results and linking to its underlying artifacts.
