🏗️ Build History & Engineering Velocity

5 months. 30 MCP servers. 99+ live pages. 15 P0 repos. 429 tests. Every build SIGIL-signed. Every deploy verified. This is how DEFONEOS was built.

Month-by-Month Build Journey

February 2026 — Genesis

CSOAI Ltd incorporated (Companies House 16939677). First SOV3 architecture sketches. Vision: UK sovereign defence AI that doesn't depend on US vendors. Nicholas Templeman begins building from a single Mac.

March 2026 — SOV3 v1

First 12 tools built. First SIGIL emitted (Ed25519 hash chain). The sovereign substrate concept takes shape: Mamba-2 (state compression) + MoE (reasoning) + BFT council (governance). M2 Mac joins as edge inference node.

April 2026 — First MCP Fleet

10 MCP servers built and deployed. First PyPI publication. EU AI Act compliance MCP shipped (Article 50 watermarking). 80 tests passing. CI/CD via GitHub Actions operational. Vercel deployment automated.

May 2026 — Scale & Federation

20 MCP servers live. 50GB sovereign data moat established. 33 hive districts created. M3 Mac joins the mesh. GCP VM stood up (UK region) for the autonomous stack. 200 tests passing. First Kimi research files ingested.

June 2026 — Deep Build

30 MCP servers — all sensor categories covered. 100+ pages live. 15 P0 repos cloned (FreeTAKServer, PX4, Mava, OpenAthena, YOLOv8, etc.). Kimi research corpus absorbed (195 files). M4 Mac joins as primary orchestration. 429 tests passing. DEFONEOS 10-Day Sprint planned. iOK Farm physical lab established (19,000 sqft).

July 2026 — Launch Sprint

10-Day Sprint kicks off (4 Jul). 3-tick-per-day autonomous build cycle (JEEVES auto-mode). Pages go from 47 stubs to 84+ full content pages in 48 hours. Every page deployed, HTTP 200 verified, SIGIL emitted. Human gates documented (DSP, SC clearance, Cyber Essentials — need Nick's personal info).

Test-Driven Development

Every MCP, every page, every feature follows the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle. No code ships without tests.

CI Pipeline Steps

Push to main → GitHub Actions trigger ├── 1. Lint (ruff for Python, prettier for HTML/JS) ├── 2. Type check (mypy) ├── 3. Unit tests (pytest -v) ├── 4. Integration tests (mcporter test --all) ├── 5. Security scan (pip-audit, npm audit) ├── 6. Build artifacts ├── 7. Deploy to Vercel (preview) ├── 8. Smoke test (curl HTTP 200) ├── 9. Emit SIGIL receipt (Ed25519 signed) └── 10. Promote to production Time: ~3 min from push to production deploy

Deployment Architecture

Every push to main triggers: lint → test → build → deploy → verify → SIGIL.

GitHub Actions CI

10-step pipeline. Blocks merge on failure. ~3 minute cycle from push to production.

Vercel Deploy

Static HTML/CSS/JS. Edge CDN. Automatic HTTPS. 99.9% uptime SLA. Global PoPs.

PyPI Publishing

MCP servers published as pip install packages. Trusted publishing. Versioned releases.

SIGIL Chain

Ed25519-signed hash chain. Every deploy recorded. Tamper-evident audit trail.
