+# Bridgelet Runbooks
+
+This directory contains runbooks detailing current behavior, operational workarounds, and validation steps for the Bridgelet Core deployment. Note that these describe current operations and do not propose code changes.
+
+## Routine Operations
+* [Rotating `ReserveContract`'s Admin Key](./reserve-contract-admin-key-rotation.md): Use when the admin address for a `ReserveContract` needs to be updated or rotated.
+* [Rotating `SweepController`'s `authorized_signer` Key](./rotate-authorized-signer-key.md): Use when you need to rotate the off-chain public key used for sweep authorizations.
+
+## Incident-Response
+* [Diagnosing a Failed `execute_sweep` or `claim` Call](./diagnose-failed-sweep.md): Use when a sweep or claim transaction fails unexpectedly and requires troubleshooting.
+* [Emergency Destination Lock](./emergency-destination-lock.md): Use during an emergency to lock or verify the sweep destination of the `SweepController`.
+* [Bulk TTL Extension Sweep](./post-incident-ttl-extension-sweep.md): Use to prevent contract storage expiration across all deployed contracts (e.g., post-incident or during maintenance).
+* [Restoring an Archived (TTL-Expired) Contract Instance](./restore-archived-instance-storage.md): Use when a contract instance has expired and its Soroban state needs to be restored.
+* [Triaging an Incoming Security Disclosure](./security-disclosure-triage.md): Use when a suspected vulnerability in Bridgelet Core is reported and requires classification.
+* [Stuck / Expired Account Fund Recovery](./stuck-expired-account-recovery.md): Use to manually recover funds from accounts that are stuck or expired.
+
+## Pre-Flight & Validation Procedures
+* [Cross-Checking ReserveContract's Configured Value](./cross-check-reserve-contract-vs-hardcoded-reserve.md): Use to validate that a deployed reserve contract matches the expected hardcoded base reserve.
+* [Validating `batch_initialize` Salt Uniqueness](./validate-batch-initialize-salt-uniqueness.md): Use before calling `AccountFactory::batch_initialize` in production to prevent address collisions.
+* [Verifying Nonce State Before Trusting Lock](./verify-claim-vs-execute-sweep-nonce-state.md): Use to confirm whether the `SweepController`'s destination lock is still in force after sweeps.
+* [Verifying WASM Hash Before Invoking `upgrade()`](./verify-upgrade-wasm-hash.md): Use to verify the new WASM hash prior to executing a contract upgrade.
