Accelerate Koji build system as RESF contingency

January 14, 2026 at 2:23 AMstrategyhigh

Situation

Emphasized urgency of having CIQ own build system mirroring RESF capabilities. Currently half of Nathan and Dieters time, targeting end of month. Requested visibility into milestones for board meeting prep.

Reasoning

RESF situation is coming to a head - need independent build infrastructure as contingency if relationship deteriorates. Board meeting in one week requires clear messaging on status. This removes dependency on external entity that may become adversarial and ensures CIQ can operate independently.

Additional Context

Greg has report on RESF non-engagement. TPS report now marks RESF-dependent items as blocked. Board meeting approaching where this will be a topic.

Im even more sure that the need for us to have a build system mirroring what the RESF does in the short term is going to arise. So lets make sure we are on that.

From: Slack #distinguished-leaders - committed to getting timeline for Koji cluster standup

Why: The RESF situation is coming to a head and you need to know how quickly CIQ can have independent build infrastructure. Without this timeline, you cannot plan contingencies or communicate readiness to leadership.
