Public bao.coulomb.social was retracted today and now presents
Traefik's default certificate. Login must use http://127.0.0.1:18200
via openbao-attended-exec.py, matching the sitting-requester path.

warden access runs OIDC from the caller environment. Putting BAO_ADDR
only on the child env argv leaves bao login talking to the wrong
address, which fails before command handoff.

AUDIT-WP-0010-T02. Contained platform-admin login writes tenant-engine
into the OpenBao senders registry with CAS, force-syncs the
ExternalSecret, and recreates the receiver so it re-reads identities.
No token value is printed; metadata evidence only.

Warden fails closed on any child stdout or stderr, even on success.
The previous helper echoed status and prompted for BAO_TOKEN after
the login envelope had already unset it. Use the contained
.vault-token helper, write Kubernetes Secret from a file, and persist
only metadata evidence.

The 768h orphan token in external-secrets/openbao-audit-core-eso-token
expired at 2026-09-14T10:23Z and ClusterSecretStore lookup-self is 403,
so ESO cannot mint database/creds/audit-core-runtime. Recreate the
Kubernetes Secret without last-applied-configuration so the token is
not stored in annotation metadata.

Postgres now reports custody_class=operational with a cited 30-day
recoverable window. Join ITC-CAP operations.audit at D4, publish the
interface card, and overlay user-engine tenants [*] from Git so an
ExternalSecret refresh cannot shrink it.
Database leases come from ClusterSecretStore openbao-audit-core-database
(one extract, one lease). Senders are minted in-cluster. Secret mounts
use fsGroup 10001. Schema 0001-0004 applied after dropping the isolation
stub events table. /readyz reports custody_class=archive.
VaultDynamicSecret pulls database/creds/* so a rotating lease is not frozen
into KV. Runtime sets AUDIT_CORE_AUTO_MIGRATE=0; schema is a Job with the
migration lease. Image base is digest-pinned. Namespace and NetworkPolicies
are on the cluster; Deployment waits for the attended OpenBao ESO token.
AUDIT-WP-0005-T05 (progress). scripts/failure_matrix.py, make failure-matrix.
Two modes: MODE=local stands up PostgreSQL and the receiver in Docker and runs
all 15 scenarios including infrastructure disruption; MODE=remote targets a
deployed receiver and skips disruption unless DISRUPT=1, since restarting a
production database is not this script's call.
Rehearsed locally: 15 passed, 0 failed. Delivery and reconciliation, rejection
and dead-letter visibility, redaction with per-path counting, correlation
lookup, privilege separation both directions, credential rotation mid-ingestion
with no delivery gap, operator replay and duplicate replay, receiver
unavailability with sender retry, and a database restart mid-ingestion where 5
of 7 attempts were acknowledged and all 5 survived.
Two deliberate choices. Stored-record counts are read straight from the
database rather than through the API, because the assertion is about what is
stored and asking the service to vouch for itself is weaker evidence. The
retry policy retries 503/500 and treats 400/401/403/409 as terminal, which is
the documented response contract - so what is under test is a sender that
follows it.
Harness credibility checked rather than assumed: exit 0 on success, exit 2
against an unreachable receiver rather than passing silently, and the evidence
JSON carries no tokens, credentials or event payloads so it can go to
NK-WP-0024 as-is.
The local rehearsal is not a substitute for the live run: it does not exercise
CNPG failover, NetworkPolicy enforcement, or OpenBao-leased credentials.
