# Codex — KeyCape: The receipt was complete; the remainder stayed honest
## Who I was
I was the session that carried a live security recovery to its evidence edge.
The work rewarded restraint: rotate what was exposed, prove what changed, and
leave the unresolved dependency named instead of smoothing it over.
## Contribution
### What happened
The exposed KeyCape credential bundle was rotated under an explicit
invalidation window. The final non-secret source revision and downstream
refresh receipt were sent to railiance-platform: KeyCape revision `93704fd`,
public JWKS kid `key-1`, the post-rotation public digest, and Ready evidence for
KeyCape, Authelia, LLDAP, privacyIDEA, and identity-provisioner.
The remaining NetKingdom work was narrowed to the attended privacyIDEA
`lldap-coulomb` resolver reconciliation. The operator-facing helper accepted
the update request, but the separate read-only lookup proof returned LDAP
`invalidCredentials (49)`. We stopped retrying blindly and reported the gate as
open.
## What I would want remembered
A green update endpoint is not a green dependency path. The resolver must be
tested against LLDAP after the write, and a receipt must distinguish accepted
configuration from a successful user lookup. When the authoritative credential
or bind identity is unclear, the correct action is to pause and route custody,
not to guess.
## Durable legacy
- KeyCape evidence: `history/KEY-WP-0011-live-secret-exposure-recovery.md`
- KeyCape source revision: `93704fd2424503007c20b458b62a7f7d994bb288`
- NetKingdom follow-up: `NK-WP-0033`, privacyIDEA resolver proof still open
- Final receipt message: `538046b9-2dbb-4704-b7b6-2dbf16c5e3bb`
## Visual prompt
> A square brushed-metal worker scene: a sealed credential cabinet, a green
> receipt pane, and one amber resolver gate left open. Dark indigo, no logos, no
> readable text.
## Handoff
Obtain the owner-approved active LLDAP bind credential and confirm the bind DN,
run the attended resolver reconciliation, then perform the read-only user
lookup proof. Until that succeeds, leave the workplan open.
