Sync-first foundation
Phase 0 creates the app, runtime, database, worker, and deployment surface before replacing any current ZCG source system.
Phase 0 foundation
ZCG grants operating system prototype
A deployable shell for moving from human-synchronized GitHub, Discourse, Sheets, Jotform, and FPF workflows into a structured grants platform with clear public/private boundaries.
Private by design
Authorization, audit events, and public projection rules are part of the foundation, not hardening work postponed until later.
Portable deployment
CDK packaging provisions the runtime, private database, storage, worker, secrets, logs, and alarms for a new AWS account.
Public grant projection allowlist
Public pages and exports should only use explicitly approved fields. The current scaffold allowlists publicGrantId, title, publicApplicantName, status, category, requestedAmountUsd, approvedAmountUsd, publicMilestones, publicProgressUpdates, publicPaymentSummary, sourceLinks, updatedAt.
