Implement AUDIT-WP-0008 T03, T06, T07, T08.
T08 fixes two defects in our own declaration. provider.R.available quoted a
30-day horizon audit-core does not solely control: at P1 the erasure horizon is
the instance maximum across co-residents, so a co-resident declaring longer
extends what a sender's records remain recoverable for, silently. Decision 4.5.4
names this for tiers; it applies to a provider quoting a number too, and the
provider block now says so. And user-engine, the only consumer, was notified
under Decision 6.1 -- what we declared, that E4 and R4 are unreachable here, and
that the retention number is a floor rather than a ceiling.

T03 writes docs/erasure-and-audit.md: the fact/payload split, why shreddability
is not retrofittable onto a chain committing to cleartext, and why the retained
hash is a confirmation oracle over low-entropy audit records. The framework half
was already resolved as Decision 4.5.3, so what remains is our own position. The
legal basis for retaining audit facts is routed to risk-nexus, open and visible.

T06 closes the review loop with net-kingdom: five findings adopted, declaration
validates clean, and the E line will go stale on an upgrade that Decision 6.1
deliberately does not require anyone to announce.

T07 enumerates the seven dependencies on the accept path and specifies five
recovery scenarios with integrity as a pass condition. It settled one thing: V2
is not reachable from P1 as built, since platform-pg runs instances 1 and
Decision 4.6.1 makes V the minimum across synchronous providers. V1 is the
ceiling here, not the next step. The exercise needs a live window.

# §5.2 — declare per path, quote the minimum. The quoted E above is the
# minimum across paths. As of AUDIT-WP-0008-T04 both paths carry the same
# mechanism; the quoted level stays at 1 for the evidence reason in gap.E,
# not because a path is weaker.
paths:
E:
write: 2 # Sender credential bound to the sources and tenants it may
# claim; checked at one choke point (audit_core/ingestion.py).
read: 2 # Event reads filtered to permitted tenants; surfaces with no
# tenant key require full scope. Cross-tenant fetch returns
# 404, not 403, so the surface is not an existence oracle.
placement_exceptions: [] # No tenant is on dedicated substrate. All
# tenants share database audit_core on
# platform-pg.
gap:
I: >-
I1 is accurate and is not currently a target. Senders authenticate with
bearer tokens and the tenant arrives in the request body, checked against
an allowlist bound to the credential (§4.1 places request-supplied tenant
identifiers at I1 however canonical the string). The allowlist is a real
control, but it is an A-axis control; it does not make the identity
verified. Moving to I2 means senders carrying a verified token with a
tenant claim, which is a change to every sender and not audit-core's to
make alone. Recorded as accurate, not as ambition.
A: >-
A2 is accurate. Authorization is a single local boundary — permitted
sources, permitted tenants, may_write, may_read — bound once and centrally.
No flex-auth delegation. A3 is not a near-term target: flex-auth is itself
at A0 on its own self-report (/v1/check authenticates no caller), so
delegating to it today would lower this service's assurance, not raise it.
E: >-
The E2 mechanism is in place on both paths as of AUDIT-WP-0008-T04, and
the quoted level is still 1. This is deliberate. §13.2 states that a
passing CI run is not E2 evidence: the E2 artifact is adversarial, needs
separate tenant contexts compared against each other, and carries a review
date rather than a green build. The repo's cross-tenant tests are
mechanical. Under §13.1 the level is not claimable until that artifact
exists, so E stays at 1 until AUDIT-WP-0008-T05 produces it with
whitehat-security. Declaring E2 on the strength of unit tests would be the
overclaim §6 prohibits, and the read-path defect this repo just fixed was
found precisely by refusing that kind of reasoning.
E_target: >-
E3 (row-level security per rapp-postgres ADR-0003) targeted 2027-03-31.
Blocked behind the E2 artifact — §4.3 requires E2 evidence alongside any
E3 claim — and needs the EXPLAIN comparison first, since RLS disables
functional indexes built on non-leakproof functions. E4 is unreachable at
P1 by the §3.2 coupling and is not a target.
R_ceiling: >-
R4 is unreachable under the current design and is not a target. Per
Decision 4.5.3 — which this repo found — the hash chain commits to a
SHA-256 of the cleartext record, which survives key destruction as a
confirmation oracle over low-entropy fields. A fleet R4 target must exempt
this service explicitly. See docs/erasure-and-audit.md (AUDIT-WP-0008-T03).
credentials: >-
Stated gap against Decision 9.2 rather than a silent exclusion. Database
credentials comply with 9.1: dynamic leases re-read from a mounted Secret
at connection time, no restart on rotation. Ingest credentials do not:
they are static long-lived bearer tokens, rotated overlap-first by
publishing a replacement alongside the incumbent and then dropping the
predecessor. audit-core raised this omission during review and is not
exempting itself from the rule it asked for. No dated remedy yet; leasing
consumer-facing credentials needs a broker path that does not exist.
retention_placement: >-
audit-core's INTENT wants unbounded WORM archive. That is data.archive in
ITC-CAP terms, recorded as an unmet requirement in
data/capability/audit-core-operational.json, and it is deliberately not a
backup-window question: a 30-day WAL window is not an archive, is not
searchable, and restores instance-wide. Reviewed 2026-12-31. If no
data.archive provision is procured by then, audit-core reopens placement
under the §4.5 retention trigger, with P2 as the fallback — a worse answer
than archive, named now so it is not improvised later.
V: >-
No exercise establishes restart recovery for the complete audit path.
V1 is the target; replica count or Kubernetes restart policy is not
treated as evidence. Dependencies enumerated and the exercise specified in
docs/availability-recovery.md (AUDIT-WP-0008-T07); the exercise itself
awaits a live window on railiance01. V2 is not reachable at P1 as built:
platform-pg runs instances 1, and Decision 4.6.1 makes V the minimum across
synchronous providers, so V1 is the ceiling here rather than the next step.

- >-
The 30-day horizon is declared but NOT solely ours to hold. audit-core
is at P1, and on shared substrate the erasure horizon is the instance
maximum across co-residents (§4.5), not the value this consumer
declares. A co-resident on platform-pg declaring a longer window
extends what a sender's audit records remain recoverable for, without
any change here and without notice to the sender. Decision 4.5.4 names
this as why a bare R2 is insufficient for a retention promise; we are
not a tier, but we are a provider quoting a number we do not control
alone, and a sender relying on 30 days should read it as a floor on
our side and a platform-derived maximum in practice.
- >-
A sender needing a horizon it can actually rely on needs audit-core at
P2. That is the §4.5 retention trigger and it is recorded in
gap.retention_placement with a 2026-12-31 review.
