Risks
- Heavy sprints (10+ days estimated vs 4-day capacity): Sprints 10-13 are overcommitted. This assumes some tasks complete faster than estimated and some parallel work across different codebases (data-plane vs infra vs backend).
- Single assignee: No parallelism across people. Availability of 0.6 is already factored in.
- Infra dependencies: Ray deployment (l5h.2) depends on hardware availability and network configuration.
- AR4 critical path is 16 days: Any slip on the azf/b7v/4b0 chain delays robotics milestones.
- IaC remediation: Existing manual Cloudflare config must be imported into Terraform before further provisioning.
Notes
- Sprint numbering continues from AURA Sprint 7 (last completed).
- Epic issues (ejd, dji, l5h, 3hy, rj7, ncq, rks) are not individually scheduled; they close when all children close.
- All estimates include 20% epic-level buffer but no per-issue contingency.
- Data Plane epic (AURA-176) fully closed as of Sprint 8.
