Developer Handoff Spec

BHS Command Center (Admin Only) — WordPress Plugin for Bangs & Hammers

This document defines installation scope, feature requirements, acceptance criteria, and a test checklist for the BHS Command Center plugin package delivered to the Bangs & Hammers web developers.

1) What Gets Installed on the Website

Install on the Bangs & Hammers WordPress website:
Plugin ZIP: bhs-command-center.zip

The ZIP is uploaded and activated through WordPress Admin (Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin). Once activated, it registers admin-only functionality: triage ticketing, alert automation, reporting exports, and audit logging.

Not installed on the website:
This Developer Handoff HTML Spec is a documentation artifact. It may be stored in the developer repository, in internal project documentation, or posted as a private/internal WordPress page if desired. It is not required for plugin functionality.

2) Governance Intent and Operating Rule

Bangs & Hammers operates under a Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) governance model. The Command Center enforces an institutional truth rule:

If an item is not logged, triaged, verified, and closed in-system, it is not considered resolved.

The plugin is intentionally admin-only to protect investor-facing narratives and ensure internal control, auditability, and disciplined operational reporting.

3) Installation Requirements

1. Upload bhs-command-center.zip via WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Navigate to WP Admin → BHS Command Center → Alerts & Settings.
4. Configure email recipients:
   • RED Alert Recipients (immediate critical alerts)
   • SLA Breach Recipients (escalation alerts when due time passes)
5. Confirm outbound email deliverability. For reliable alerts, configure SMTP on the host if needed.

4) Admin-Only Scope (Hard Requirement)

• The Command Center is admin-only. There are no public pages and no public dashboard output.
• Access is gated to users with manage_options capability by default.
• Any future expansion to public dashboards must be treated as a separate approved scope with governance review.

5) Features Delivered in Version 1.0.0

5.1 Admin Dashboard

• Top-level WP Admin menu: BHS Command Center
• Tiles: Open RED, Open YELLOW, Open GREEN, Open SLA Breaches
• Quick actions: Log New Ticket, View Tickets, Generate Report
• Governance callout text reinforcing the truth rule

5.2 Triage Ticketing (CPT)

• Custom Post Type: BHS Triage Ticket
• HITL Fields:
  • Project ID, Site Name
  • Severity: GREEN / YELLOW / RED
  • Status: New, In Review, War Room, Resolved, Closed
  • Owner assignment (WP user)
  • Due At (datetime-local)
  • SLA minutes defaulting from Settings (RED/YELLOW)
  • Evidence Links (multiline)
  • Budget Variance (%) (optional)
  • Energy Delta (kWh) (optional)
  • Resolution Notes
  • HITL Verified checkbox (records an audit event)
• Admin list columns include severity, status, owner, due date, SLA breach indicator

5.3 Automated Email Alerts

• RED Alert: When a RED ticket is created/identified and has not been alerted before, an email is sent to the configured recipient list.
• SLA Breach Alert: If a ticket has a Due At time and is not Resolved/Closed by that time, an escalation email is sent and the ticket is flagged with an SLA breach marker.
• Scheduling: WP-Cron runs checks at a five-minute interval.
• All alert actions write to the audit log.

5.4 Report Generator + Blogger-Ready HTML Export

• Admin page: BHS Command Center → Reports
• Templates:
  • Board Update (governance and operational health narrative)
  • Investor Transparency Update (public-safe transparency summary)
  • ASM Script Draft (slide-by-slide speaking notes)
• Window options: last 7 / 30 / 90 days
• Outputs:
  • Saved as a Report record (CPT) for version history
  • Displayed as HTML in a text area
  • Copy HTML button for paste into Blogger or internal documentation
• Default governance + securities + proprietary footer included (editable override in Settings)

5.5 Audit Logging

• Creates database table: wp_bhs_cc_audit_log (prefix varies)
• Logs key field updates, alert events, and HITL verification events
• Admin page: BHS Command Center → Audit Log (Recent)

6) Acceptance Criteria (Definition of Done)

6.1 Installation and Access

• Plugin uploads and activates without fatal errors.
• Menu BHS Command Center appears in WP Admin.
• Non-admin users cannot access any Command Center pages (admin-only enforcement).

6.2 Triage Ticket Creation and Governance Fields

• Admin can create a triage ticket with required core fields (severity/status/title).
• Due At accepts valid datetime-local format and persists after saving.
• HITL Verified checkbox persists and records who/when verification occurred.
• Admin list view shows Severity, Status, Owner, Due, SLA Breach columns.

6.3 Alerts

• When a ticket is marked RED, the system sends exactly one initial RED alert email (per ticket) and records an audit event.
• When Due At time passes without ticket being Resolved/Closed, an SLA breach email sends and ticket is flagged (and audited).
• Alert recipients are configurable through Settings and accept multiple emails.

6.4 Reports

• Admin can generate each template and receive a saved Report record.
• Generated output is valid HTML, contains governance footer, and is copyable for Blogger paste.
• Copy HTML button works in modern browsers and copies the full report HTML.

6.5 Audit Log

• Audit log table is created at activation.
• Field changes and HITL verification writes entries visible in Audit Log page.
• Alert sends and SLA breaches create audit entries.

7) Test Checklist (Developer Verification)

7.1 Smoke Test: Install

1. Upload and activate bhs-command-center.zip
2. Confirm menu visibility: WP Admin left nav shows BHS Command Center
3. Visit Dashboard page; confirm four tiles render and no console errors appear

7.2 Triage Ticket Workflow

1. Create new ticket: set severity YELLOW, status New, assign an owner
2. Set Due At to 10 minutes in the future; save; confirm it persists
3. Add evidence links (multiple lines) and resolution notes; save; confirm preserved
4. Check HITL Verified; save; confirm:
   • HITL Verified remains checked
   • Audit log contains a hitl_verify action

7.3 RED Alert Test

1. In Settings, enter developer email into RED recipients.
2. Create new ticket and set severity to RED; save.
3. Wait for WP-Cron to execute or manually trigger cron events (developer method).
4. Confirm:
   • Email received with ticket title and admin edit link
   • Ticket meta includes bhs_alert_sent
   • Audit log contains alert_sent event

7.4 SLA Breach Test

1. In Settings, enter developer email into SLA recipients.
2. Create a ticket with Due At set to a time in the past (1–2 minutes ago), status New, not Resolved/Closed.
3. Run WP-Cron or wait for scheduled execution.
4. Confirm:
   • SLA breach email is received
   • Ticket meta includes bhs_sla_breach
   • Admin list column “SLA Breach” shows YES
   • Audit log contains sla_breach event

7.5 Report Generator Test

1. Create at least 2 tickets (one YELLOW, one RED) within the last 7 days.
2. Go to Reports → generate Board Update for last 7 days.
3. Confirm the HTML appears in the textarea and includes:
   • Operational counts (RED/YELLOW/GREEN, SLA breaches)
   • Governance callout section
   • Footer with governance + securities + proprietary notices
4. Click Copy HTML; paste into a text editor; confirm full output copied.

7.6 Admin-Only Enforcement Test

1. Create a non-admin user (Subscriber) and attempt to access Command Center admin URLs.
2. Confirm access is denied (permission enforcement is working).

8) Developer Notes and Constraints

• Alerts rely on wp_mail(). For strong deliverability, configure SMTP on the WordPress host.
• WP-Cron depends on site traffic. If the site has low traffic, configure a real cron hit to wp-cron.php.
• This version avoids public endpoints and avoids front-end rendering by design (governance protection).
• Any expansion (public dashboards, investor portals, API integrations, SMS alerts) should be treated as a new approved scope with a governance review.

Bangs & Hammers • Service Management Brief

SLA Breach Recipients & Escalation Notifications

Professional configuration notes across common platforms • Operational + governance-aligned

In most service management systems, SLA (Service Level Agreement) breach recipients are the specific users or groups notified when a performance target is missed—or at risk of being missed. This post consolidates practical recipient patterns, platform configuration approaches, and a production-ready ServiceNow mail script pattern with governance-friendly escalation controls.

Topics Covered

• Typical SLA breach recipients
• Configuration in common platforms
• Notification best practices
• ServiceNow: modern alert-card mail script pattern
• Testing & validation checklist
• Disclaimer & rights notice

Typical SLA Breach Recipients

Notification recipients are generally categorized by their role in resolving the issue:

• Assigned Agent: the individual currently working the ticket or task.
• Assignment Group: the team responsible for the task (often used for shared queues).
• Escalation Managers: supervisors notified at defined thresholds (for example, 100% breach, then 150% or “days overdue”).
• Stakeholders / Watch List: account managers, customer representatives, or internal owners who need visibility on delays.

Operational note

Strong recipient design balances urgency with noise control: the right people get notified at the right time, and escalation is predictable, auditable, and role-based.

Configuration in Common Platforms

The specific recipients are typically defined within the SLA policy, automation rules, or notification engine of the platform being used. Common configuration patterns include:

• Recipients are often set in Email Notifications (“Who will receive”) and triggered by SLA events at threshold percentages (for example 50%, 75%, 100%).
• Modern instances commonly use Flow Designer to drive SLA warnings/breaches, while legacy setups may use workflows tied to SLA Definitions.
• Targeting can be role-filtered (for example, notify only users with an “sla_manager” style role) to prevent alert fatigue.

• SLA breach notifications are commonly implemented using Automations (time-based), because SLAs are time-driven rather than instant ticket updates.
• A frequent pattern: “approaching breach” alert (for example, hours until breach < 2) plus a “breached” alert (for example, hours since last breach = 1).
• To reduce repeated hourly notifications, teams typically add a tag such as sla_approaching_alert when an automation fires.

• Reminder recipients are commonly driven by the SLA reminder configuration: send to the assignee and the group specified by the SLA reminder rule.

Additional platforms mentioned

• in-app alerts to selected users or teams to reprioritize workload.
• : escalation paths and stakeholder updates as SLAs approach or breach targets.

Notification Best Practices

• Early alerts: send warnings (commonly at 50% or 75% consumed) so teams can act before breach.
• Filtered recipients: target roles (example: SLA managers) rather than broadcasting to large groups.
• Automated routing: route breached tickets to higher-priority queues automatically (with visibility preserved).
• Escalation clarity: codify “what happens at 100%,” “what happens at >3 days overdue,” and “who is accountable.”
• Auditability: log events, preserve email artifacts, and keep an escalation policy link in the notification.

Alert fatigue warning

If recipients stop trusting the signal, the system fails. Use thresholds, tags, and role-based targeting to keep alerts meaningful.

ServiceNow: Modern “Alert Card” Mail Script Pattern

Below is a consolidated ServiceNow mail script pattern that supports: VIP-based CC to department head, filtered “latest human work note” (with safe fallback to latest system note), Resolution Code display (highlight “No Fix Provided”), days-overdue badge, critical header styling after 3+ days, escalation policy link, assignee footer, reply-to override, and action buttons (open ticket, email agent, Teams chat).

Implementation notes

• This runs on the task_sla record (“current” in many SLA notifications). It looks up the related Task record.
• It uses gs.getProperty('glide.servlet.uri') for correct instance base URL construction.
• Field names vary by table (for example, Incident uses caller_id, many tasks use opened_by). The script checks safely.
• Keep role/PII considerations in mind if emails go to external recipients.

Mail Script (sys_script_email) — consolidated version

(function runMailScript(current, template, email, email_action, event) {

  // current is expected to be a task_sla record in many SLA notifications
  // Resolve the target Task record safely

  var taskGr = new GlideRecord(taskTable);

Required configuration steps

1. Create the mail script under System Notification > Email > Notification Email Scripts (sys_script_email).
2. Reference it in your SLA notification body using: ${mail_script:YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME}
3. Replace YOUR_KB_SYS_ID with your escalation policy article sys_id.
4. Confirm the notification is triggered by your SLA breach/warning events (Flow Designer or workflow, based on your implementation).

Testing & Validation Checklist

• Preview the notification using the platform’s notification preview capability (most reliable for HTML rendering).
• Validate recipient targeting (assigned agent, group, managers, VIP department heads) and confirm “alert fatigue” controls are in place.
• Confirm HTML compatibility in primary email clients (for example and).
• Verify escalation link access (recipients must have permission to open the knowledge article).
• Test Teams deep link behavior with your tenant policies and identity alignment (user email in sys_user should match Teams sign-in identity).

Governance note

Treat SLA alerts as controlled communications: consistent format, consistent thresholds, and clear accountability. The escalation policy link in the footer is not decoration—it is an enforcement mechanism for process consistency.

Risk Notes & Guardrails

Read this before acting

• Verify before you rely: AI summaries can miss context. Validate figures, laws, and timelines with primary sources.
• Local rules vary: zoning, STR regulations, rental licensing, and inspection standards differ by city/county.
• Capital raising is regulated: anything resembling a securities offering requires qualified legal guidance and compliant documentation.
• No one-size-fits-all underwriting: use conservative assumptions; stress-test rent, vacancy, and interest-rate scenarios.

Action Steps (B&H-Aligned)

1. Extract the “decision drivers” from the AI Brief (rates, demand, regulation, rehab costs, tax incentives).
2. Map each driver to a proof source (city ordinance page, HUD/DOE resource, lender term sheet, contractor quote).
3. Convert the research into underwriting inputs (rent comps, expense ratios, reserves, vacancy, CapEx, timelines).
4. Apply governance logic (approval gates, documentation, investor communications standards, change-control discipline).
5. Publish the community takeaway as a simple “What we learned + What we’re doing next” recap for members.
