Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/. Adds a `> Last reviewed: 2026-05-05` line right after the H1 heading of every doc that didn't already have one (41 files). This dates the freshness clock for the future Phase 4 per-doc review. The discipline going forward: when a doc's content gets a meaningful edit, bump the date. When the date gets old (e.g., >6 months), the doc earns a freshness-review pass. Mechanical insertion via awk one-liner, applied to every docs/*.md that didn't already match `grep -q 'Last reviewed:'`. Files that already carried the line from earlier Phase 2 work (the navigation index, the new connector docs, the new SCEP server / legacy-clients- TLS-1.2 / release-verification docs, and the 5 per-connector deep dives) were skipped to avoid duplicate insertion. Net: every doc in docs/ now has a Last reviewed line.

# Deployment Vendor Compatibility Matrix

|
||
## Status legend
|
||
|
||
- **✓** — verified per the three-criterion bar above
|
||
- **CI** — happy-path + quirk e2e green in CI; operator manual smoke
|
||
pending (the third criterion)
|
||
- **mock** — verified against the in-tree mock; real-vendor validation
|
||
is the operator's tier above
|
||
- **pending** — planned; tests written; sidecar not yet wired
|
||
- **n/a** — combination not applicable
|
||
|
||
Per frozen decision 0.1: only LTS + current-stable versions per
|
||
vendor. EOL versions explicitly excluded.

## Quarterly re-pin cadence
|
||
|
||
Every sidecar `FROM` in `deploy/docker-compose.test.yml` carries a
|
||
SHA-256 digest pin per the H-001 CI guard. Operator re-pins
|
||
quarterly:
|
||
|
||
1. Pull the latest tag of each sidecar image.
|
||
2. Run the per-vendor e2e matrix against the new digest.
|
||
3. If green, update the digest in `docker-compose.test.yml` + this
|
||
matrix's "Status" column.
|
||
4. If red, file an issue against the connector + leave the digest
|
||
pinned to the last-known-good.
|
||
|
||
## How to add a new vendor version
|
||
|
||
1. Add a new sidecar entry to `deploy/docker-compose.test.yml` with
|
||
the new image digest.
|
||
2. Add a row to this matrix marking status as "pending".
|
||
3. Write `TestVendorEdge_<connector>_<edge>_E2E` test(s) that
|
||
exercise the vendor's known quirks against the new sidecar.
|
||
4. Once tests pass in CI, mark status "CI".
|
||
5. After operator manual smoke, mark status "✓".

||
