Proof Sprint Planning
- 🧾 Proof Sprint Planning
Helix runs on **short, verifiable sprints** — compact development windows designed to produce measurable, reproducible proof artifacts.
Each sprint captures its own sealed record (documents, configs, or API outputs) so that progress is always auditable, even when iteration is rapid.
- Sprint Principles
1. **Micro-Scope, Macro-Proof** – Keep sprint windows small enough to complete in a single focused work cycle. 2. **Proof Over Progress** – Every tangible output yields at least one signed artifact or log. 3. **Reproducibility First** – All steps are deterministic and human-confirmable. 4. **Human Witness Required** – A sprint isn’t closed until its proof is reviewed and sealed. 5. **Transparency by Default** – Non-confidential results are published to the wiki under.
- Sprint Flow (Standard)
| Phase | Output | Verification | |-------|---------|--------------| | Plan | Mini-outline + target proofs | Markdown plan sealed via `helix_seal.sh` | | Execute | Work performed + logs | Real-time Prometheus / CLI proofs | | Review | Quick audit summary | Witness acknowledgment + hash verification | | Publish | Public wiki entry | Ledger insert (`integrity: SEAL-OK`) |
- Typical cadence:** several short iterations per day — measured in *proofs*, not hours.
