| INFR-01 (FastAPI backend) | SATISFIED | App structure, health endpoints |
| INFR-02 (PostgreSQL) | SATISFIED | Container running, migrations ready |
| INFR-03 (Rate limiting) | SATISFIED | 100/min slowapi |
| INFR-04 (CSRF protection) | SATISFIED | fastapi-csrf-protect configured |
| INFR-05 (HTTPS) | SATISFIED | Caddy TLS termination |
| INFR-06 (Security headers) | SATISFIED | HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc. |
| INFR-07 (Backups) | SATISFIED | Daily with 30-day retention |
| ISO-04 (Sandboxed builds) | NEEDS HUMAN | Code complete, needs runtime test |

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| None | - | - | - | All checks passed |

**Ruff linting:** All checks passed
**Tests:** 5/5 deterministic tests passed
**Module imports:** All services import successfully

### Human Verification Required

### 1. FastAPI Latency Under Load

**Test:** Start uvicorn and run load test with wrk or ab
```bash
# Terminal 1
uv run uvicorn backend.app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Terminal 2
wrk -t4 -c100 -d30s http://localhost:8000/health
```
**Expected:** p95 latency < 200ms with 100 concurrent connections
**Why human:** Requires load testing tool and runtime execution

### 2. Sandbox Build Execution

**Test:** Bootstrap sandbox and run a test build
```bash
# As root
sudo scripts/setup-sandbox.sh

# Test sandbox isolation
sudo systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/debate/sandbox/base --private-network ip addr
# Should show only loopback interface
```
**Expected:** Sandbox boots with network isolation, no host network access
**Why human:** Requires root permissions and systemd-nspawn

### 3. Deterministic ISO Build

**Test:** Run same configuration twice, compare SHA-256 of output ISOs
```bash
# Build 1
sudo python -c "
from backend.app.services.deterministic import DeterministicBuildConfig
config = {'packages': ['base', 'linux'], 'overlays': []}
# ... execute build
"

# Build 2 (same config)
# ... execute build

# Compare
sha256sum /var/lib/debate/builds/*/output/*.iso
```
**Expected:** Both ISOs have identical SHA-256 hash
**Why human:** Requires full archiso build pipeline execution

## Summary

Phase 1 infrastructure is **code-complete** with all artifacts implemented and wired correctly:

**Verified programmatically:**
- FastAPI application with security middleware stack
- PostgreSQL database with async SQLAlchemy and connection pooling
- Caddy HTTPS termination with automatic redirects
- Rate limiting (100/min) and CSRF protection configured
- Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
- Backup automation with 30-day retention and weekly restore tests
- Deterministic build configuration with hash computation (tests pass)
- Sandbox service with network isolation

**Needs human verification:**
- Latency performance under load (<200ms p95)
- Actual sandbox execution with systemd-nspawn
- End-to-end deterministic ISO build verification

The code infrastructure supports all success criteria. Human verification is needed to confirm runtime behavior of performance-critical and security-critical paths.
