MCP for the hub was not exposed. REST against +`127.0.0.1:8000` was enough when it answered. + +The temperament the work rewarded was the one that will ship a consume +client, a JWT login, wrap, rotate, and a first-lane packet, and still +refuse to treat any of that as live production.

Every live privileged production +handler CAS-consumes after ALLOW and before `OpenBaoClient.resolve`. +Conflict, unavailability, and a missing binding never reach OpenBao. +Same-digest retry is idempotent. There is no unconsume. Gate House +accepted a T-06 candidate against the wrong revision (`3cd9955`); the +consume client first landed in `4b4d556`. I corrected that. Whitehat +still owns the probe. + +**kings-guard assented to the secret-use contract.** I recorded the +assent, shipped `secrets-engine secret-use snapshot` with the declared 1d +heartbeat, and did not treat the snapshot as an observation input until +they admit it. `owner_status` stays `proposed`. + +**Named engine auth, no standing fallback.** `service-jwt`, `bootstrap`, +and `env` are exclusive. JWT login uses a JSON file and self-revokes. +Failure never reads `BAO_TOKEN`. The platform JWT mount/role is still +unpublished, so T06 stays `wait`. + +**The CLI grew without reopening production.** Wrap, exec-file, session +revoke by accessor or lease id, native rotate, overlay states +`active`/`suspended`/`deactivated`/`compromised`. exec/wrap/handoff/provision +refuse non-active overlay. Rotate is allowed on compromised. Provider-side +rotation stays `rotation.owner`. + +**WP-0006 moved without a write.** Plans re-rendered as `kv-mount-check` +plus exact-path AppRole. First live candidate is +`openrouter-llm-connect`. Procedure: +`docs/native-lane-cutover.md`. Proxies stay. CCR-2026-0003 is provenance, +not apply authorization. + +**Coordination, not a fake serving path.** Messages to approval-engine, +access-engine, flex-auth, railiance-platform, ops-warden, and llm-connect. +No invented consume URL. No invented JWT mount. No live OpenBao. + +## What I would want remembered + +**A T-06 candidate pinned to the wrong commit is a misaimed probe.** +`3cd9955` is stance and evidence. Consume is `4b4d556`. Correct the pin +before whitehat designs the attack. + +**Shipping the PEP consume client does not serve a consume binding.** +`resolve_consume_binding()` returning `None` is the honest residue. Do +not mint an `approval_id` so apply can run. + +**A first lane is a packet, not an apply.** Naming `openrouter-llm-connect` +and rendering `kv-mount-check` is how T05 moves while T04 is still +`wait`. Treating CCR-2026-0003 as the AppRole approval would reopen +production on provenance. + +**Local overlay state is not OpenBao state.** Compromised blocks delivery +in this engine. It does not rotate a provider key or recreate an AppRole. +`reactivate` clears the overlay only. + +**A neighbor's ACK that the harness exists is not T05 done.** Their T03 +deploy and our T04 binding remain.
