+# Metacircular Platform Status
+
+Last updated: 2026-03-25
+
+## Platform Overview
+
+One node operational (**rift**), running core infrastructure services as
+containers fronted by MC-Proxy. MCIAS runs separately (not on rift).
+MCP and full MCNS are not yet built.
+
+## Service Status
+
+| Service | Version | SDLC Phase | Deployed | Node |
+|---------|---------|------------|----------|------|
+| MCIAS | v1.7.0 | Maintenance | Yes | (separate) |
+| Metacrypt | untagged | Testing | Yes | rift |
+| MC-Proxy | untagged | Maintenance | Yes | rift |
+| MCR | untagged | Ready to deploy | No | — |
+| MCAT | untagged | Complete | Unknown | — |
+| MCDSL | v0.1.0 | Stable | N/A (library) | — |
+| MCNS | untagged | Precursor | Yes | rift |
+| MCP | — | Not started | No | — |
+
+## Service Details
+
+### MCIAS — Identity and Access Service
+
+- **Version:** v1.7.0 (client library: clients/go/v0.1.0)
+- **Phase:** Maintenance. Phases 0-14 complete. Feature-complete with active
+  refinement.
+- **Deployment:** Running in production. All other services authenticate
+  against it.
+- **Recent work:** WebAuthn/FIDO2 passkeys, TOTP 2FA, service-context login
+  policies, Nix flake for CLI tools.
+- **Artifacts:** systemd units (service + backup timer), install script,
+  Dockerfile, example configs.
+
+### Metacrypt — Cryptographic Service Engine
+
+- **Version:** Untagged.
+- **Phase:** Testing. All four engine types implemented (CA, SSH CA, transit,
+  user-to-user). Active work on integration test coverage.
+- **Deployment:** Running on rift as a container, fronted by MC-Proxy on
+  ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4).
+- **Recent work:** ACME integration tests (60+ tests), mcdsl migration,
+  security audit fixes.
+- **Artifacts:** systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Docker Compose
+  (standard + rift), install script, example configs.
+
+### MC-Proxy — TLS Proxy and Router
+
+- **Version:** Untagged. Phases 1-8 complete.
+- **Phase:** Maintenance. Stable and actively routing traffic on rift.
+- **Deployment:** Running on rift. Fronts Metacrypt, MCR, and sgard on ports
+  443, 8443, and 9443. Prometheus metrics on 127.0.0.1:9091.
+- **Recent work:** MCR route additions, Nix flake, L7 backend cert handling,
+  Prometheus metrics, L7 policies.
+- **Artifacts:** systemd units (service + backup timer), Docker Compose
+  (standard + rift), install and backup scripts, rift config.
+
+### MCR — Container Registry
+
+- **Version:** Untagged. Phase 13 (deployment artifacts) complete.
+- **Phase:** Ready to deploy. Implementation complete, deployment artifacts
+  written, next step is first deploy to rift.
+- **Deployment:** Not yet deployed. DNS record and MC-Proxy routes are
+  pre-configured on rift.
+- **Recent work:** Dockerfile fixes, server wiring, OCI route mounting,
+  deployment artifact creation.
+- **Artifacts:** systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Dockerfiles
+  (API + web), Docker Compose (rift), install script, rift config.
+
+### MCAT — Login Policy Tester
+
+- **Version:** Untagged.
+- **Phase:** Complete. Diagnostic tool, not core infrastructure.
+- **Deployment:** Available for ad-hoc use. Lightweight tool for testing
+  MCIAS login policy rules.
+- **Recent work:** Migrated to mcdsl for auth, config, CSRF, and web.
+- **Artifacts:** systemd unit, install script, example config.
+
+### MCDSL — Standard Library
+
+- **Version:** v0.1.0.
+- **Phase:** Stable. All 9 packages implemented and tested (87 tests). Being
+  adopted across the platform.
+- **Deployment:** N/A (Go library, imported by other services).
+- **Packages:** auth, db, config, httpserver, grpcserver, csrf, web, health,
+  archive.
+- **Adoption:** mcat, mc-proxy, and mcr migrated. metacrypt and mcias
+  pending.
+
+### MCNS — Networking Service
+
+- **Version:** Untagged.
+- **Phase:** Precursor. CoreDNS instance serving internal zones until the
+  full MCNS service is built.
+- **Deployment:** Running on rift via Docker Compose. Serves two zones:
+  `mcp.metacircular.net` (node addresses) and
+  `svc.mcp.metacircular.net` (service addresses).
+- **Records:** rift node, metacrypt, mcr, sgard services.
+- **Artifacts:** Corefile, zone files, Docker Compose (rift).
+
+### MCP — Control Plane
+
+- **Phase:** Not started. Design documented in `docs/metacircular.md`.
+- **Blocked by:** Nothing — MCIAS, Metacrypt, MCR, MC-Proxy, and MCNS
+  (precursor) are all available. MCP is the next major project.
