Research direction

Start with release/READINESS.md and compare its existing Registry Relay and Evidence operations checklist with the OPS-21, ops-15, and sibling-ticket references in the issue. Add BReg and Casework rows for backup/restore, upgrades, observability, and HA/replica guidance, with completion tracked as the corresponding tickets close.

Description

area:docs area:release criticality:p2 documentation triage:needs-implementation

release/READINESS.md states it "tracks the evidence that Registry Relay
and Evidence are ready for a stable release." Its operations section is
entirely unchecked, and it does not cover BReg or Casework operations at
all. The related internal readiness scorecard and 1.0 readiness material
predate BReg and Casework and were written for the Relay/Notary era.

An operator (or a release manager) has no single tracked checklist
confirming that BReg's and Casework's backup, upgrade, observability, and
HA stories have been exercised and verified before a release ships, even
though several of those stories are exactly what this audit and its sibling
tickets (day-two runbooks, config convergence) are filling in.

Recommend adding BReg and Casework rows to release/READINESS.md covering
at minimum: backup/restore, upgrade, observability (metrics/logs/audit
export), and HA/replica guidance, checked off as the corresponding tickets
close.

Found in the 2026-09-24 lifecycle audit (OPS-21 and README section 6
capability gap item ops-15); the detailed finding is in the internal audit
report.
