P6.REV.002 — Deploying repository uses a feature-flag mechanism¶

Field	Value
Principle	P6 Reversibility
Severity	info
Evidence	strong
Stability	experimental

What it checks¶

Fires when the repo has deployment artifacts (Dockerfile, Kubernetes manifests, Terraform, etc.) but shows no evidence of a feature-flag library or a local flag implementation.

Detection method¶

Checks for deployment artifacts (same set as P6.REV.001).
Scans all file paths (case-insensitive) for feature-flag keywords.

Recognized flag libraries¶

Managed: LaunchDarkly, Unleash, OpenFeature, ConfigCat, GrowthBook, Optimizely, GoFeatureFlag, Flipt, Flagsmith, Split.io
Local: any path containing featureflag, feature-flag, feature_flag, feature-toggle, or feature_toggle

When to suppress¶

If the repo intentionally ships without flags (e.g., infrastructure-only, static site), suppress with an ignore entry:

ignore:
  - rule: P6.REV.002
    reason: "Static site — no runtime to toggle"
    expires: "2027-01-01"
