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?
