  Enterprise Environment Model (dev/test/uat/prod)

    **Goal**: turn the current “staging” POC into a repeatable enterprise IaC pattern that can deploy dev/test/uat/prod into a customer tenant.

  1) Principles
  
    - **Same modules** across environments; only parameters change.
    - **Environment isolation**: separate namespaces/resource groups and separate secrets.
    - **Promotion pipeline**: immutable images promoted dev → test → uat → prod.
    - **Compliance**: audit logs and retention policies enabled before prod cutover.
  
  2) Naming convention

  Recommend a consistent prefix and environment suffix:

  {org}-{product}-{env}-{component}

Examples: {org}-engram-dev-api {org}-engram-uat-worker {org}-engram-prod-temporal-server {org}-engram-prod-zep

  For Azure Container Apps the environment container group can remain {org}-{product}-{env}-aca.

  3) IaC parameterization plan

  Current Bicep already supports an envName parameter. To reach enterprise readiness, extend parameters to include:

    - **Environment**: dev/test/uat/prod tags and naming
    - **Endpoints**: custom domain toggles per env
    - **Vendor mode**: cloud vs self-host for Temporal/Zep/Unstructured
    - **Data plane**: storage account/container names per env
  
  4) Promotion lifecycle

        Env
        Goal
        What changes
      
        **dev**
        feature iteration
        scale-to-zero; relaxed quotas
      
        **test**
        integration
        synthetic datasets + automated tests
      
        **uat**
        customer acceptance
        production-like config; approval workflows
      
        **prod**
        BAU
        SLOs + audit + backups + incident playbooks
      
  5) Next steps

    - Add explicit Zep/Unstructured/Temporal self-host toggles to IaC.
    - Define secrets and identity model per environment (Key Vault + Managed Identity).
    - Run Golden Thread in each env as a release gate.
