@Chidan09 this cannot go in, and I want to be specific because CI is green on it, which is misleading. Nothing in this repo validates the contents of these files, so the checks passing does not mean the work is there.

Every file this adds is a placeholder:

File Contents
stellar/ONCALL.md the single word placeholder
stellar/scripts/metrics-indexer/alerts.json []
stellar/scripts/metrics-indexer/docker-compose.yml version: "3.8" and nothing else
stellar/scripts/synthetic-check.sh two lines that echo a placeholder

The more serious part is stellar/MAINNET_READINESS.md. It flips Incident Response Runbook to [x] with the note "Documented and distributed to on-call team", pointing at the one-word ONCALL.md. That file tracks whether we are safe to deploy to mainnet with real user funds. Marking an item complete against an empty file is the kind of thing that gets trusted later by someone who was not in this thread. Please do not do that again.

Two mechanical problems in the same file: the checkbox syntax was rewritten from - [ ] to - [] on 18 lines, which GitHub will not render as checkboxes at all, and the ONCALL link is spelled ONCALl.md with a lowercase L so it will 404.

What issue #166 actually asks for:

  • Grafana alert rules with a stated rationale per rule, covering the send_count rate spike, the resolve_hit_count drop, missed keeper heartbeat, and registration failure spike
  • synthetic-check.sh doing a real announce, resolve and name-lookup round trip against a target network, exiting nonzero on failure so it can run from cron
  • ONCALL.md with the escalation ladder, paging targets, and the declare / contain / communicate / resolve / postmortem checklist, cross-linked to the pause and multisig runbooks
  • A "Post-deploy monitoring" section in DEPLOYMENT.md

Revert the MAINNET_READINESS.md changes for now and only flip that row once ONCALL.md is real. If the scope is more than you want to take on, say so here and I will split it or hand it back, no problem either way. But an empty file with the checkbox ticked is worse than an open issue.
