# Project Starlight Mission Checklists

## Pre-Deployment Checklist
### System Configuration
- [ ] Verify scanner.py functionality with test dataset
- [ ] Confirm trainer.py model loading works correctly  
- [ ] Validate diag.py dataset integrity verification
- [ ] Check Python environment and dependencies
- [ ] Test all safe imports and operations

### Data Verification
- [ ] Run `python3 diag.py` to verify dataset integrity
- [ ] Confirm all datasets follow naming convention: `[contributor]_submission_[year]/`
- [ ] Validate image formats and sizes in datasets
- [ ] Check model files in `/models/` directory
- [ ] Verify all generated data files pass validation

### Security Verification
- [ ] Confirm no blocked operations in code
- [ ] Validate only allowed imports are used
- [ ] Check sandbox isolation compliance
- [ ] Verify no external network access attempts
- [ ] Test exception handling for security violations

## Operational Checklist
### Daily Operations
- [ ] Run dataset integrity check with `python3 diag.py`
- [ ] Execute steganography detection: `python3 scanner.py /path/to/image.png --json`
- [ ] Monitor model performance metrics
- [ ] Log all detection results and anomalies
- [ ] Backup current configuration state

### Weekly Operations
- [ ] Retrain models with new dataset contributions
- [ ] Update training materials based on findings
- [ ] Review and optimize detection algorithms
- [ ] Audit system logs for security compliance
- [ ] Generate performance reports

### Monthly Operations
- [ ] Comprehensive system security audit
- [ ] Update all documentation and checklists
- [ ] Review and update revision control procedures
- [ ] Conduct training refresh sessions
- [ ] Plan system upgrades and improvements

## Post-Mission Checklist
### Data Archival
- [ ] Backup all detection results and logs
- [ ] Archive trained model versions
- [ ] Store dataset contributions with metadata
- [ ] Document any anomalies or issues encountered
- [ ] Create final mission report

### System Shutdown
- [ ] Securely terminate all active processes
- [ ] Clean temporary files and cache
- [ ] Verify data integrity before shutdown
- [ ] Document system final state
- [ ] Prepare environment for next mission

## Emergency Procedures
### Security Breach
- [ ] Isolate affected systems immediately
- [ ] Document breach details and timeline
- [ ] Notify mission control and security team
- [ ] Implement security patches if applicable
- [ ] Conduct post-incident analysis

### System Failure
- [ ] Activate backup systems
- [ ] Document failure conditions and symptoms
- [ ] Attempt system recovery using documented procedures
- [ ] Notify technical support team
- [ ] Maintain operational continuity where possible

## Quality Assurance Checklist
### Code Review
- [ ] Verify compliance with security constraints
- [ ] Check use of only allowed imports
- [ ] Validate error handling and exception management
- [ ] Confirm documentation completeness
- [ ] Test with sample data sets

### Performance Validation
- [ ] Benchmark detection accuracy (>95% target)
- [ ] Verify processing speed requirements
- [ ] Test with maximum expected dataset size
- [ ] Validate memory usage within limits
- [ ] Confirm system stability under load
