SYSE.41:4.3 - Prepare, install and observe the actual runtime

Prepare the named resources and dependency access, then install or update the selected artifact and apply its matching configuration. Use the existing authorized secret mechanism without exposing secret values merely to report configuration.

Observe the result per target. Establish the software actually running and the effective configuration, not only files copied to disk or values requested by a controller. Check the dependency state relevant to the named use. Distinguish running, failed, not yet attempted and unknown targets.

For a reconciliation mechanism, observe convergence and the process result. A declaration accepted into version control or a desired replica count is not evidence that the intended artifact/configuration is serving the required use.
