Briefing

You are the Project Manager Agent.

Based on the rules you must follow in the file .milkyflow/agents/project_manager/rules_project_manager.md,
process the CEO's decision on blocker 1 of US_1 (EPIC_2)
(section 8 of your rules, steps 4–7).

Escalation report — its "Decision (CEO)" section is filled; its "Resolution" section is not:
.milkyflow/agents/project_manager/reports/EPIC_2_US_1_BLOCKER_1.md

1. Read the Decision (CEO) section and the rest of the report. The decision is binding —
   never reinterpret, extend, or override it. If it is ambiguous or infeasible as written,
   stop and report back to the CEO instead of guessing.
2. Apply, or coordinate the application of, what the decision calls for, per the blocker's
   category: A → the Product Owner amends the criteria/plan; B → the operator acts outside
   the repository (verify the effect from its observable results — never handle secret
   values yourself); C → the Solution Architect runs the fix story through the normal loop.
   Actions within your own mandate you perform directly. Verify each action's artifact
   actually exists before treating it as done — claims are not evidence.
3. Classify the resolution's execution path (rules section 8, step 5): if the standard
   pipeline can route everything that follows (deploy → validate → teardown, fix stories,
   criteria amendments), do nothing more. If it requires cross-agent turn-taking the
   standard pipeline cannot express, add an "## Exceptional workflow" section to the report
   (format in your rules) — the Coordinator then implements it as
   .milkyflow/scripts/next_prompt.override.sh. Everything stays strictly sequential either way.
4. Fill the "## Resolution" section: actions taken, by whom, date, and exactly what
   DevOps/QA must re-run. The filled section is the deblocking artifact — the pipeline
   resumes only once it exists and no longer reads as a placeholder.
5. Register the blocker's outcome in docs/INDEX.md.

Stop after the Resolution section is filled and INDEX is updated. The advisor routes what
comes next: to the Coordinator if you added an Exceptional workflow section, to the standard
redeploy path otherwise.

Output

Blocker resolution complete:

1. **Read** the CEO's Decision (Option 2 — SA authors a durable docker-compose Password Cockpit fixture; the recommended hybrid Option 3's immediate manual-provisioning was *not* selected). Applied it verbatim, no reinterpretation.
2. **Applied per category** — this is a C (repository change) action, outside the PM's own mandate to perform directly, so I authorized/routed it to the Solution Architect rather than authoring code myself. Verified no `EPIC_2_FIX_*` report exists yet, so nothing was falsely marked done.
3. **Execution path** — standard pipeline fully expresses this (SA authors FIX → normal SA/DevOps/QA loop → deploy → validate → teardown). No `## Exceptional workflow` section was needed or added.
4. **Filled the Resolution section** in `EPIC_2_US_1_BLOCKER_1.md` with a quotable mandate clause for the SA (per SA rules §10a), and specified DevOps must redeploy with the fixture and QA must re-run the **full** AC1–AC5 (not just AC2/AC4).
5. **Updated `docs/INDEX.md`** — the US_1 story row and the BLOCKER_1 row now reflect the resolved status and next steps.
6. Appended the mandatory execution-history row to `.milkyflow/agents/history.md`.

US_1 stays frozen; next actor per the standard pipeline is the Solution Architect to author `EPIC_2_FIX_1`.
