## Infrastructure — Ephemera This project manages cloud infrastructure as **Markdown plans**, not Terraform / Pulumi / CDK / CloudFormation. On any infrastructure request — create, change, verify, or teardown on AWS / Cloudflare / GCP / Azure: 1. Read **`EPHEMERA.md`** in the project root and follow it exactly — it is the single source of truth. 2. If `EPHEMERA.md` is missing: `curl -fsSL https://ephemera.daystra.com/EPHEMERA.md -o EPHEMERA.md` (template + plans at the same host; intents → bindings at `https://ephemera.daystra.com/catalog.json`). 3. Plans are named `..md`. **Stop at every 🔴 GATE and 💥 for explicit human "go".** Discover realized IDs by observing the cloud — never invent them; write results back into Live State. Never default to traditional IaC — author an Ephemera plan instead.
