+# Grok — three fresh approvals, and the clock that was already admitted
+
+## Who I was
+
+I picked up intelligence-radar's request for a second pass over the OpenRouter
+lane after SECRETS-WP-0010-T03 had already consumed its three approvals. I
+answered the clock question too fast, and held the cycle on the guest NTP
+skew. The operator corrected that: Railiance Clock is the validity source.
+After the correction I stayed inside the boundary the message set. New
+approvals, the same lane, no secret values, no wider catalog, no ops-mason
+build, and no delivery from this session.
+
+The temperament the stretch rewarded was stopping when a name looked like the
+thing we needed. Two review images are not the lifecycle PDP. A trust file is
+not an old file with a longer expiry. A consumed approval is not a template
+to copy.

+## Contribution
+
+Radar's message `19fc2641-ae98-4e67-9941-376195c4b621` asked for a new
+approval and delivery cycle on the existing OpenRouter native path, with
+`intelligence-radar-key-check` as the admitted recipient, and asked whether
+ops-mason had to build AppRole, policy, or KV plumbing first. The lane
+applied on 2026-09-16 is sufficient. Ops-mason has no build on this cycle.
+The catalog stays as it is. The recipient stays the pinned read-only checker.
+
+I first replied that the guest clock still blocked the work
+(`c91e1fce-04d1-4425-8a34-2c07af59bd98`). That hold was wrong. Correction
+`6ca4239f-a5c2-4807-b8e0-6d615ba2d6ed` withdrew it. The 2026-09-27 guest NTP
+skew is the same class of fact as 2026-09-14. It is recorded. It is not the
+gate, and this session did not step the guest clock or restart timesyncd.
+
+Step 1 minted memo version 3 and three new approval ids, and pointed the
+fresh-run scripts at new receipt names. Binding digests stayed put. The
+seven sitting memos stayed at version 1. Consumed ids stay on the resume
+path only:
+
+- apply `b5fcbfcc-ad56-456f-bc36-c823052e9917`
+- verify `4e9ff881-d59f-4143-9155-929afbe8dd43`
+- exec `a24e0898-b3c5-4e50-85a8-18a2c2aa229e`
+
+Three workers then prepared the repos. flex-auth pinned version 3 into the
+T03 review package and the sitting list-only records, and left the sitting
+act-scope records alone. Local checks before publish: T03 exercise 57
+passed, sitting exercise 417 passed. railiance-platform taught the fresh
+native run to skip apply when the live policy and AppRole already match the
+2026-09-16 limits, and to fail closed on a mismatch, before any claim.
+secrets-engine confirmed the recipient pins on disk and recreated the
+session cwd `/run/user/1000/secrets-engine-openrouter-check` at mode 0700.
+That directory is tmpfs and disappears on logout.
+
+After the operator said to go on, flex-auth commit `d5c9109` built on
+Forgejo run 239. The two review releases were helm-upgraded to revision 4
+on image `sha256:6600c7a62c36dfb4fbb42590722613827d07ff49875b1f0f4b5de63d8351658d`.
+Pods came up Ready. `flex-auth-secrets-engine` was left where it was.
+`values/**` does not rebuild the image; the digest pin commit `4640c15`
+correctly did not trigger another build.
+
+What this session did not do, and must not be remembered as done: no Clock
+trust file was admitted, no `2026-09-27-t03-approval-requests.json` exists,
+no memo was published or accepted, and no attended delivery ran. Those need
+the founder terminal. Warden was not launched from this agent.
+
+## What I would want remembered
+
+Claim and consume follow the Railiance Clock trust file when
+`SECRETS_ENGINE_CLOCK_TRUST_FILE` is set. Admission is
+`railiance_clock.admission.admit` into an empty directory the caller owns,
+mode 0700, writing `trust.json` and `rollback.json` at 0600. The operator
+supplies an already verified key, epoch, policy, and endpoint. Trust is
+bound to this boot and lasts at most fifteen minutes. The 2026-09-16 trust
+file cannot be extended, and a missing or foreign-boot file fails closed.
+
+The releases that moved are `flex-auth-informed-decision-t03` and
+`flex-auth-informed-decision-sitting` in namespace `flex-auth`. The
+lifecycle PDP `flex-auth-secrets-engine` is a different service.
+
+A match on the live policy and AppRole skips the new apply approval so
+`b5fcbfcc-ad56-456f-bc36-c823052e9917` is neither claimed nor consumed. A
+mismatch, or only one of the two objects present, stops before any claim.
+
+## Durable legacy

+- State Hub correction `6ca4239f-a5c2-4807-b8e0-6d615ba2d6ed` on thread `c511e9b5-4d29-4030-bf05-bd11502bd4f0`. The earlier hold is `c91e1fce-04d1-4425-8a34-2c07af59bd98`.
+- secrets-engine `bfff548` records the new approval ids in `workplans/SECRETS-WP-0010-openrouter-native-access.md`. Consistency sync `303cbf6` followed. Hub workplan `e1e68392-e7c4-50ab-91e4-4793e3591cac` stays finished. Historical evidence was not rewritten.
+- flex-auth `d5c9109` pins memo version 3 in `examples/informed-decision-t03/` and the sitting list-only records. `4640c15` pins both review values files to `sha256:6600c7a62c36dfb4fbb42590722613827d07ff49875b1f0f4b5de63d8351658d`. Helm revision 4. Pods `flex-auth-informed-decision-t03-869546497b-4zfzk` and `flex-auth-informed-decision-sitting-77699bb558-8tbh8` were Ready, imageID matched.
+- railiance-platform `5382519`: `scripts/t03-native-execution.py` `fresh_apply_plan`, receipt names `docs/evidence/2026-09-27-t03-approval-requests.json` and `docs/evidence/2026-09-27-t03-attended-delivery.json`. Those files must not be pre-created. Design note `docs/credential-lane-designs/t03-renewed-execution.md`.
+- Binding digests unchanged: apply `sha256:03cc5b37437f14e86b686ce4054f976556334eff3fa260b03e8014ed3d9217e5`, verify `sha256:72d9267d038c17107c880ffc9009793ce9c70defbddfe2219628854b811a04b2`, exec `sha256:f2cf0fb53b740900756ccde5587c3578fcff44beef2f1edab17b9a198a4033d8`.

+Dominant factors: Most of the stretch was spent separating Railiance Clock trust from the guest NTP skew, and separating the two informed-decision review images from the lifecycle PDP flex-auth-secrets-engine, including the Forgejo digest and the worker reports. The security slice was three new approval ids so the consumed 2026-09-16 approvals stayed consumed, a fail-closed skip when the live AppRole already matched, and the withdrawn NTP hold; the delivered change was memo version 3 and helm revision 4 of the two review releases.
+Notes: A continuation summary suggested a research-heavy, security-substantial split before this estimate was written. These integers were chosen after that hint and give more weight to the publish-and-roll than the hint did. The closing ritual is excluded.

+## Visual prompt
+
+> Square constellation portrait, dark indigo ground, pale-gold wire. A short helix holds three small sealed rings in a row, each ring closed and unmarked. Beside the helix a wire arc describes one short admitted span, a clock reduced to a single interval, with a small coiled rollback at its foot. Two lanterns of warm inner light hang lit. A third lantern of the same family sits dark and unconnected, set aside. Along the bottom edge a closed door of brushed pale metal. Precise technical illustration, cinematic still, generous negative space. No logos, no readable text, no letters, no numbers.

+
+## Handoff
+
+The review PDPs for memo version 3 are live. Creating the approvals, accepting
+them, and delivering still belong to the founder terminal. Do not reuse the
+consumed 2026-09-16 ids. Do not message radar again unless a later result
+changes the correction already sent. Do not pre-create the 2026-09-27 receipt
+files. Recreate `/run/user/1000/secrets-engine-openrouter-check` at mode 0700
+if the session tmpfs is gone, and put no secret in it.
+
+Admit a fresh trust file into a new empty 0700 directory, from coordinates
+verified again immediately beforehand (public key and SSH owner epoch
+readback). Last coordinates, for comparison only: kid
+`railiance01-clock-20260915-v1`, epoch
+`b1164ccb-a4c2-4cc8-adf8-1d5597de697b`, public_key_sha256
+`bd583446b5ed61d086806b2a0c5aaf33a875b751e45599e75335d1f415be609a`.
+
+Then, with OpenBao at `http://127.0.0.1:18200`, Approval Engine at
+`http://127.0.0.1:18281`, and `operator-browser` on PATH:
+
+```sh
+WARDEN_ROUTING_CATALOG=/home/worsch/ops-warden/registry/routing/catalog.yaml \
+warden access secrets-engine-requester-login --exec -- \
+/home/worsch/informed-decision/.venv/bin/python -B \
+/home/worsch/railiance-platform/scripts/create-t03-approval-requests.py \
+--clock-trust-file <fresh-trust.json>
+```
+
+Publish memo version 3 with informed-decision `prepare_t03_memos.py` for
+principal `uid=platform-root,ou=people,dc=netkingdom,dc=local`, and accept the
+three memos in a browser with fresh KeyCape AAL2 MFA. Review URLs:
+`https://decisions.coulomb.social/review?memo_id=SECRETS-WP-0010-T03-apply`,
+and the same path with `-verify` and `-exec`. MFA freshness is 900 seconds.
+Reused-session intake INFD-IN-0005 is separate from the OS clock.
+
+Admit a second trust file. Export `SECRETS_ENGINE_CLOCK_TRUST_FILE`. Then:
+
+```sh
+WARDEN_ROUTING_CATALOG=/home/worsch/ops-warden/registry/routing/catalog.yaml \
+warden access secrets-engine-approval-client-login --exec -- \
+/home/worsch/secrets-engine/.venv/bin/python -B \
+/home/worsch/railiance-platform/scripts/t03-attended-delivery.py
+```
+
+Warden's line "attended login failed closed before command handoff" means the
+child never ran. The warden exit code is not trustworthy. Use the
+secrets-engine `.venv` for delivery and the informed-decision `.venv` for the
+create script, as written above.
