ADR-006: Public showcase data sourced exclusively from example datacenter

Field Value
Status accepted
Date 2026-02-18

Context

Public surfaces were originally built from production infrastructure data containing real private IPs.

Decision

All public-facing data is generated from examples/datacenter/ which uses RFC 5737 TEST-NET IPs (198.51.100.x). CI validates no real IPs leak.

Rationale

A single source of safe data eliminates the risk of production IP leakage.

Consequences

  • All public surfaces serve data from examples/datacenter/ only
  • CI validates no 172.x.x.x IPs in generated files
  • Deploy scripts are parameterized — no hardcoded infrastructure hostnames
  • Production data stays behind CF Access on apercue.ca surfaces
