# T03 replay fixtures
Real `DecisionEnvelope`s emitted from the published package, for secrets-engine
to verify its digest join (`627810b`) unchanged. `FLEX-WP-0021-T03`.
| File | From |
| --- | --- |
| `decision_rotate.json` | `../check_request_allow_rotate.json` — plain allow, empty context |
| `decision_destroy_dual_control.json` | `../check_request_allow_destroy_dual_control.json` — dual control, valid approval-claim |
fix(secrets-engine): v2 adds the tenant rule v1 never had secrets-engine.catalog-lane.lifecycle v1 contained no reference to input.tenant — not in well_formed, not in the denial ladder, not in a test. A rotate on lane:glas-primary under tenant:coulomb returned allow against the deployed package (decision:066e629bbf0c0924). Found while answering glas-harness's tenant-alignment request, which had asked for wrong-tenant denial evidence. There was none to return. Three covers failed the same way: every one of the 29 fixtures carried tenant:platform, so the suite could not report on the field; T02's own gate named "wrong-tenant deny" and was recorded done unmet; and the engine hashes tenant into request_digest but never compares it. Four other published packages carry the branch — this one was the outlier. v2 adds wrong_tenant above wrong_system, three Rego tests and three fixtures (28/28, 32/32). The absent-tenant test caught a second defect in the first draft: a bare input.tenant != comparison is undefined on a missing key, so the branch dropped and the ladder reported the wrong rung. request_tenant := object.get(input, "tenant", "") fixes it. v2 supersedes rather than amends v1 because the defect failed open: a consumer pinned to _VERSION=v1 would keep receiving allows with no signal the rule beneath the version string had changed. The earlier dual-control correction stayed at v1 because it denied everything. Replay envelopes regenerated at v2; both request_digest values are byte-identical, so secrets-engine's digest join needs no re-pinning. The sweep this prompted found tenant-engine unscoped on tenant as well — deployed, and verified allowing tenant:coulomb. Not the same fix: its request tenant names the target rather than the caller, so a constant would break it. Recorded and carried by FLEX-WP-0022 rather than patched unilaterally. FLEX-WP-0021 closes at T05; the pin still serves v1 until a redeploy.

## What is stable and what is not
**Stable across runs** — these are the fields to pin a contract test against:
| Field | `rotate` | `destroy` |
| --- | --- | --- |
Publish approval_binding_digest: a claim cannot name the request carrying it secrets-engine confirmed T03, and re-verifying against the regenerated destroy fixture found something neither repository can fix alone: a pdp_digest recorded at issue time can never equal the request_digest of a request that carries the claim in its context, because the claim is part of the context that is hashed. Embedding the claim changes the very digest the claim would need to name. Not fixture staleness. It holds for every dual-control request whose claim travels in context -- the shape GH-DEC-2026-008 had just ruled mandatory. Left unresolved that ruling was unimplementable for exactly the case it was written for, and destroy would have been permanently un-allowable in production, failing closed forever on a check that could never pass. flex-auth owns the canonical request digest, so the fix is ours. binding.approval_binding_digest is the same material with context.approval removed, emitted only when a claim was carried. An approval issued against a claim-free Check records that Check's request_digest; the claim-bearing request reproduces it here. DELIBERATELY ADDITIVE, and the reason matters. The tempting fix is to drop context.approval from request_digest entirely. That is wrong: request_digest is the replay identity, and two requests differing only in which approval was presented must not share one, because their decisions differ -- one allows, the other denies dual_control_required. Collapsing them would let an allow obtained with a valid claim be replayed against a request carrying none. So request_digest still covers the claim and still moves; approval_binding_digest deliberately does not, and is documented as not a replay identity. The tests assert the two functions DISAGREE on a claim-bearing request, which is approval-engine's formulation of how to defend a distinction that looks like duplication. The fixture now demonstrates the property rather than asserting it: its claim's pdp_digest equals the envelope's approval_binding_digest with pdp_path true, and changing the claim's contents moved request_digest while leaving approval_binding_digest untouched. Two files a consumer can diff. Also picked up approval-engine's new required binding.pdp_path via the cross-repo schema test added yesterday -- which is the test doing exactly what it was built for, one day later. T03 is done. secrets-engine's own digest-material defect, which our two real envelopes caught, is recorded in the workplan.

**Regenerated at `v2`, 2026-09-06.** The package gained the tenant rule it had
been missing, so `provenance.policy_version` is now `v2` and
`policy_package_digest` moved from `sha256:fe0070b7…bd8c` to
`sha256:bd11c5fe…c643`. **Both `request_digest` values are unchanged** — the
canonical digest covers tenant/subject/action/resource/context and not the
package, so a consumer that pinned the digest join has nothing to re-pin. Only
the two provenance fields moved, and they moved because the policy did.
`decision_wrong_tenant_deny.json` is the denial evidence for the tenant
question: the same `rotate` request as `decision_rotate.json` with
`tenant: tenant:coulomb` substituted. Its `request_digest` differs from the
allow's, which is the replay identity working — the tenant is hashed material,
so the two requests are not the same request. A deny carries no `lifetime`.
Publish approval_binding_digest: a claim cannot name the request carrying it secrets-engine confirmed T03, and re-verifying against the regenerated destroy fixture found something neither repository can fix alone: a pdp_digest recorded at issue time can never equal the request_digest of a request that carries the claim in its context, because the claim is part of the context that is hashed.

| `binding.approval_binding_digest` | absent (no claim) | `sha256:fa07bec…cd56` |
That last row is the value an approval's `pdp_digest` must equal — never
`request_digest`, which a claim can never match on the request that carries it.
It equals the `request_digest` of the same request with `context.approval`
removed, which is verifiable from this directory: strip the context from
`../check_request_allow_destroy_dual_control.json`, re-run `check`, and the
claim-free request digest is the same value (it denies `dual_control_required`,
which is the point).
**This fixture verifies itself.** The claim inside the request carries
`binding.pdp_digest` equal to the envelope's `approval_binding_digest`, and
`binding.pdp_path: true`. Compare the two values in the two files. Note that
`request_digest` moved when the claim's contents changed while
`approval_binding_digest` did not — that is the stability property, demonstrated
in the artifact rather than asserted in prose.
**Not stable:** `id`, `provenance.decision_time`, and `lifetime.not_before` /
`lifetime.expires_at` move with the clock. `lifetime.ttl` is `15m` from the
package's `allow_ttl`. Do not pin the record as a whole.
`input_claim_digests.context` appears only when the request carries a non-empty
context — which is why both fixtures are here rather than just one. A consumer
asserting the field is always present would pass on `destroy` and fail on
`rotate`.
Add schemaguard; correct check_request subject.type against shipped reality approval-engine suggested a conformance check after the examples-contradict- prose class hit a third repository -- theirs. Fifteen lines, they said, and it would have caught our caring fixture and our provenance omission. Worth stealing, so we stole it. internal/schemaguard validates published examples against published schemas. It implements only the JSON Schema subset these schemas use, and the property that makes it trustworthy is that an unrecognised keyword FAILS rather than skips: a validator that silently approves what it does not understand invites reliance it cannot support. It found three things on first run. ONE, AND THE LARGEST: check_request.schema.json pointed subject.type at CARING's subject_type enum (Human, Service, ...), and no consumer sends that vocabulary. user-engine sends human, tenant-engine and secrets-engine send service, and ops-warden sends adm/agt/atm -- an actor-type vocabulary CARING does not model at all. Our published schema declared three live integrations non-conformant. A rule that outlaws shipped correct behaviour is the rule that is wrong, so the $ref is replaced with an opaque non-empty string and a description saying why. CARING's enum remains correct where it belongs: the registry's subject_manifest.yaml, where Service is right. TWO: policy_package_note, which this session added to the caring example's decision provenance, is undeclared under additionalProperties:false. Our own annotation broke the conformance it was annotating. Moved to the envelope's outer provenance. THREE: the secrets-engine fixtures carried partial approval-claims, missing binding, freshness and validity. A partial claim in a fixture is how a consumer learns the wrong shape -- the same mechanism that produced the destroy defect. They are now complete and valid against approval-engine's schema, including the now-required binding.pdp_digest, and a test validates them against that schema when the sibling repo is present. The destroy replay fixture is regenerated accordingly and the replay README's pinned digests updated, since a stale digest table is the same defect wearing a different hat. Closed the binding-mapping open item. approval-engine declined to publish a vocabulary mapping and their reasoning is better than the request: a PIP asserting secrets.kv.destroy MEANS destroy would author semantics over two vocabularies it owns neither of, and a wrong mapping silently accepts a claim approved for a different action. pdp_digest is the mapping precisely because it does not translate. It is now always present and nullable, so the destroy gate is pdp_digest non-null and equal, enforced at the PEP.

The `destroy` request's `context.approval` is a **complete** approval-claim,
valid against `approval-engine/schemas/approval_claim.schema.json` including the
now-required `binding.pdp_digest`. It was regenerated on 2026-09-06 when that
claim was completed, so its digests differ from the first emission — a partial
claim in a fixture is how a consumer learns the wrong shape.
## Not a deployment
These come from `flex-auth/local` in `standalone` mode
(`provenance.evaluator` / `mode`), not from a cluster pin. No
`flex-auth-secrets-engine` pin exists yet (`FLEX-WP-0021-T04`), and the consumer
policy pin stays unset until `T05`.
