Exact release scope. This page documents the reviewed v0.0.1 source at fcc5871. Check release status before enabling a gated capability.

Before opening the UI

  • The production URL uses the approved TLS name and trust chain
  • /health and /ready pass; /health/clock reports acceptable time posture
  • No bootstrap administrator already exists unless this is a documented restore
  • The bootstrap operator uses a dedicated named account and approved password channel
  • The environment owner is present to record recovery ownership

Bootstrap the first administrator

  1. 01

    Open the ClusterPilot URL

    When bootstrap state is incomplete, the UI presents the one-time administrator setup instead of the normal login.

  2. 02

    Create the named administrator

    Use a unique login and environment-approved password. Do not create a shared “admin” identity.

  3. 03

    Sign in again

    Confirm the normal login path, session cookie posture and displayed workspace.

  4. 04

    Verify permissions

    Open the current actor/permission view. The bootstrap account should resolve to platform_admin for the intended workspace.
