“Every day on Mars is a sol you weren’t promised. Every system that holds pressure is a system someone built right.”
Mission Briefing
You’re standing inside the Hab. Outside is 95% CO₂, -60°C, and 600 pascals of atmosphere that wants you dead. Everything documented here — every agent, every workflow, every deployment runbook — is a sealed system keeping this operation alive. This is the SO1 Field Manual. Read it like your oxygenator depends on it.Platform Architecture
The SO1 ecosystem is a constellation of sealed modules — each independently pressurized, each with redundant life support. The diagram below maps every critical system and its communication pathways.Fig 1. SO1 Platform Architecture — Every arrow is an API contract. Every module holds pressure independently.
The FORGE Pipeline
Every feature, every fix, every deployment flows through FORGE — our five-stage engineering pipeline with gate verification at each transition.Fig 2. FORGE Pipeline — Each gate is enforced by Veritas verification. No stage advances without traceability.
Agent-to-Agent Operations
The SO1 agent fleet operates as a coordinated swarm — 21 agents across 7 domains, orchestrated by the Factory Orchestrator and gated by the Forge Gatekeeper.Fig 3. Agent Fleet Topology — The Orchestrator dispatches work, agents execute within domains, the Gatekeeper enforces FORGE compliance before any merge.
Requirement Traceability Matrix
Every requirement is tracked from specification through implementation to test verification. This ensures nothing deployed to the surface goes untested.Fig 4. Verification Traceability Matrix — Every requirement has a direct line to its implementation (via ADR or module) and its test suite. Gaps are flagged by Traceo baselines.
System Domains
