Deliver database credentials as a rotatable mounted directory
AUDIT-WP-0005-T02 (progress). rapp-postgres has landed platform-pg with the
audit_core database, roles, and dynamic credential provisioning, so
audit-core's side is now built against it.

In-cluster delivery is a mounted directory rather than environment variables.
A dynamic lease rotates while the pod runs and an env var is fixed at process
start, so env delivery would force a restart on every rotation - and every
restart is a delivery gap, which is what this task forbids.
CredentialDirectory is re-read on every connection attempt via psycopg_pool's
callable kwargs, so a rotated lease takes effect with no restart. Rotation is
logged by password fingerprint, never by value.

deploy/externalsecrets.yaml follows the ClusterSecretStore -> ExternalSecret ->
Secret pattern already used by activity-core and rapp-qonto, at a 15m refresh
rather than the default 1h since the interval bounds how long a revoked lease
can stay mounted. All manifests validated --dry-run=server --validate=strict.

The rotation test was initially vacuous: it passed against a deliberately naive
implementation that read credentials once at startup, because pooled sessions
stay authenticated after a password change and nothing forced a reconnect. It
now terminates the role's sessions first, and is verified to fail against the
naive implementation and pass against the real one. Tests 82 -> 84.

Reliable multi-tenant auto setup audit capability

Backend contract

The pluggable backend interface, event schema (audit-core.event.v1alpha1), retention policy, and migration path from the mock file backend are documented in docs/audit-backend-contract.md.

Development Mock Backend

The first implementation is intentionally tiny: a replaceable audit interface with a mock file backend.

By default it writes JSONL audit events to:

/tmp/audit-core/audit-YYYYMMDDTHH.jsonl

Files older than 7 days are removed when the backend writes or when cleanup is run explicitly. This backend is for local integration and bootstrap wiring. It is not durable audit custody.

Example:

python3 -m audit_core emit \
  --source openbao \
  --action openbao.authenticated_readiness_proof \
  --resource openbao/openbao-0 \
  --outcome success \
  --detail file_audit_visible=true \
  --detail backend=mock-file

Cleanup:

python3 -m audit_core cleanup

Make targets:

make test
make mock-audit-smoke
make mock-audit-cleanup

Environment:

  • AUDIT_CORE_MOCK_DIR: override the output directory.
  • AUDIT_CORE_MOCK_RETENTION_DAYS: override the default 7-day cleanup window.
