Project Advances
Last updated: 2026-06-20
Purpose
Track the practical progress of Project Palisade as the team moves from concept and design toward a Cloudflare-first guardrails platform pilot.
This page should stay short and current. Detailed design belongs in the dedicated design and system architecture pages.
Current State
- The repository has been initialized as the local working space for Palisade.
- The project direction is Cloudflare-first, with future runtime work expected to use Wrangler and Cloudflare developer platform services.
- Existing Confluence design material has been mapped to local Markdown under
docs/palisade/. - A repo-scoped Codex skill now defines the local-first Confluence sync workflow.
Recent Advances
- Established the Docusaurus-oriented
docs/tree as the local source of truth for non-code project documentation. - Added a sync manifest so page IDs, parent IDs, versions, and local files are explicit.
- Created a Project Palisade docs agent workflow for Codex via
.agents/skills/palisade-confluence-docs/. - Cleaned the README so new contributors can understand the project and find the documentation folder.
Next Useful Steps
- Convert the design doc into smaller implementation-facing specs only when the team is ready.
- Draft the first Cloudflare system design for the MVP enforcement path.
- Define the first pilot success criteria: latency, verdict quality, remediation behavior, telemetry, and adoption path.
- Decide which Palisade docs should remain internal design notes versus Confluence-visible project documentation.
Open Questions
- Which Palisade capability is the first MVP slice: proxy surface, Check API, policy profile compiler, or observability baseline?
- Which Cloudflare products are approved for the first PHI-capable pilot path?
- What is the expected owner/reviewer model for Confluence docs before publishing?
