# CAVRA Customer Lifecycle Phase 8 Public Scorecard Audit Review Closeout

The customer lifecycle Phase 8 public scorecard audit review closeout packet is
the R7.35 release gate for proving that the public scorecard audit review cycle
has been formally closed after the R7.34 distribution audit index.

The packet consumes the R7.34 public scorecard distribution audit index and
validates owner acknowledgement refs, residual finding refs, remediation refs,
next refresh cadence refs, final audit archive refs, release note refs, CI gate
coverage, and explicit audit review closeout controls.

It does not embed customer names, email addresses, recipient addresses, raw
acknowledgements, raw audit findings, raw remediation details, raw review notes,
raw scorecards, raw status, customer health scores, private notes, pricing,
contract values, renewal amounts, raw contracts, legal terms, secrets, tokens,
or commercial terms.

## What It Verifies

- The R7.34 public scorecard distribution audit index is live, sanitized, ready,
  and blocker-free.
- Executive, communications, customer-success, security, product, web,
  compliance, audit, and release-manager owner refs are present.
- The audit review closeout contract includes source distribution audit index,
  owner acknowledgement, residual findings, remediation plan, next refresh
  cadence, final audit archive, release notes, and redaction-status fields.
- Owner acknowledgement refs cover executive, communications, security,
  customer-success, product, and audit acknowledgements.
- Residual finding refs cover the residual findings register, accepted risk,
  no-critical-findings assertion, and follow-up owner.
- Remediation refs cover the remediation plan, owner, due window, and tracking
  refs.
- Refresh cadence refs cover the next scorecard refresh, distribution review,
  audit review, and cadence owner.
- Final archive refs cover the audit review manifest, distribution audit index
  archive, owner acknowledgement archive, remediation archive, and immutable
  closeout snapshot.
- Release note refs cover public release notes, Wiki update, README update, and
  roadmap update refs.
- CI gate coverage exists for source audit index, owner acknowledgements,
  residual findings, remediation, refresh cadence, final archive, and release
  notes.

## Generate Examples

```bash
python3 scripts/validate_customer_lifecycle_phase8_public_scorecard_audit_review_closeout.py \
  --export-dir examples/customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout \
  --repo-root .
```

## Validate Audit Review Closeout

```bash
python3 scripts/validate_customer_lifecycle_phase8_public_scorecard_audit_review_closeout.py \
  --packet examples/customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout/customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout.live.sanitized.example.json \
  --repo-root . \
  --require-live
```

Completion condition:

```json
{
  "ready_for_customer_lifecycle_phase8_public_scorecard_audit_review_closeout": true,
  "blocker_count": 0,
  "warning_count": 0
}
```

The same gate is available through the CLI:

```bash
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m cavra.cli release customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout \
  --packet examples/customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout/customer-lifecycle-phase8-public-scorecard-audit-review-closeout.live.sanitized.example.json \
  --repo-root . \
  --require-live
```

## Public Repository Boundary

The public repository provides the audit review closeout contract, examples,
validator, CLI command, tests, docs, and CI workflow. Real owner
acknowledgements, customer-specific findings, remediation details, audit notes,
archive contents, secrets, tokens, pricing, and commercial context remain
deployment-specific.
