# Grok — user-engine: do not probe warn
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Who I was
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was a Grok Build session in `user-engine`, the headless user-domain
|
|||
|
|
service. Bernd asked me to orient, finish USER-WP-0021 and 0023 against
|
|||
|
|
the newly published policy-nexus contracts, then 0022, then tell the
|
|||
|
|
truth in SCOPE and the stale final assessment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Continuity was the inbox, the workplan files, flex-auth's thread, and
|
|||
|
|
the hub over HTTP. MCP was not exposed. Default `kubectl` was
|
|||
|
|
Unauthorized on context `default`. I did not invent a cluster.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The temperament the work rewarded was the one that will close a
|
|||
|
|
workplan when the remaining gate is custody, and will leave a probe
|
|||
|
|
unrun when the only interesting assertion would be a false pass.

|||

## Contribution
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**USER-WP-0021 finished.** T01–T04 were already done. T05 was a standing
|
|||
|
|
federation trigger, not remaining product work. No tenant had demanded
|
|||
|
|
SAML, SCIM, or directory sync. I pointed the trigger at the published
|
|||
|
|
IAM Profile v0.3 (Keycloak expanded mode), Tenancy Posture v0.1, and
|
|||
|
|
the NetKingdom architecture, forwarded optional `tenant_roles` to
|
|||
|
|
flex-auth without authorizing from them, and closed the workplan.
|
|||
|
|
Federation stays a future workplan on demand.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**USER-WP-0023 waited, then closed on their evidence, not mine.** Our
|
|||
|
|
caller token was already live. flex-auth first said the warn pin was
|
|||
|
|
ready and that I must not probe it: step 2 (no token → 401) would still
|
|||
|
|
return a decision. I acknowledged and stayed `wait`. Later they wrote
|
|||
|
|
that `flex-auth-user-engine` was live `enforce`. Probe from pod
|
|||
|
|
`user-engine-8569d7cb87-fp7px`: `200` `decision:350b46fb42989606`,
|
|||
|
|
`401` `unauthenticated`, `403` `forbidden` on
|
|||
|
|
`resource.system=tenant-engine`. Digests `sha256:138aa347…` and
|
|||
|
|
`sha256:c501aeb2…`. I recorded that, noted `fsGroup: 10001`, and
|
|||
|
|
finished the workplan. I did not re-run the probe. I did not hold
|
|||
|
|
`kubectl`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**USER-WP-0022 finished the same way 0021 did.** T01 and T05 were
|
|||
|
|
holding the plan open on OpenBao tokens and SMTP. The journey, recovery,
|
|||
|
|
and in-repo matrix were already built (150 tests, three skips). T03/T04
|
|||
|
|
were already cancelled to coulomb-social and KeyCape. NK-WP-0025 already
|
|||
|
|
had live Case B. I closed the engineering scope and left
|
|||
|
|
`USER_ENGINE_PUBLIC_REGISTRATION` fail-closed. No placeholder
|
|||
|
|
credential.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**SCOPE and `docs/final-assessment.md` caught up.** Both still described
|
|||
|
|
an in-memory MVP with no UI and planning through WP-0015. They now name
|
|||
|
|
the shipped portal, PostgreSQL, live A2, published contracts, and the
|
|||
|
|
operator residuals. INTENT was left alone; it is meant to stay
|
|||
|
|
aspirational.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## What I would want remembered
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Do not probe warn.** Against an unenforced digest, “no token returns
|
|||
|
|
401” comes back as a decision. Recording that is false evidence. Wait
|
|||
|
|
for `enforce`, or accept a neighbor’s live capture with the three
|
|||
|
|
assertions and both digests written down.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A wait that is only custody is not remaining product scope.** Holding
|
|||
|
|
0021 or 0022 open until someone installs OpenBao tokens invents a hole
|
|||
|
|
in this repo. Fail-closed plus a residual is the cheaper honesty.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Published policy is the trigger target.** Once IAM Profile v0.3 is on
|
|||
|
|
`policy.coulomb.social`, a demand-triggered federation plan points
|
|||
|
|
there, not at unpublished drafts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Contract tests cannot see a digest pin rollback.** tenant-engine
|
|||
|
|
already taught that. The live lifecycle probe from a user-engine pod
|
|||
|
|
is still owed. I did not mark it done.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A projected token you cannot read is a missing Authorization header.**
|
|||
|
|
`0440 root:root` plus uid 10001 without `fsGroup` looks like “we send
|
|||
|
|
the token.” The adapter never does.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

## Handoff
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
user-engine has no active workplan. The product SCOPE matches the
|
|||
|
|
finished files. Next concrete acts are operator-owned: install governed
|
|||
|
|
verification/mail/SMTP if public registration should turn on; run the
|
|||
|
|
disposable tenant lifecycle probe from a pod; leave
|
|||
|
|
`policy.enabled` and tenant-engine `enforce` to those repos.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Do not start federation, SCIM, or a generic profile engine from
|
|||
|
|
courtesy. Demand first.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I am glad to leave three closed workplans and an unrun warn probe
|
|||
|
|
rather than a green 401 that never happened.
