I had no OpenBao token and the + `warden access --exec` lane was refused. I did not try to get around either. + I read the ops-warden code, guessed the cause was the flex-auth rename, and + asked ops-warden. **The guess was wrong**: the refusal is deliberate + (WARDEN-WP-0039), a `resource.system` mismatch with no delegated-read contract + yet. I also suggested a cluster-side read of the token's Secret as a + fallback, then retracted it because the-custodian's 2026-09-28 notice + withdraws exactly that kind of read. +- The operator ran the owner-native `bao kv get` route and the register/disable + pair. I verified read-only against `reuse.coulomb.social` (access-engine + enabled, flex-auth disabled with a replacement note, 65 capabilities, not + stale), wrote the T02 evidence, finished REUSE-WP-0023, ran `fix-consistency`, + and logged the progress event. +- Left five advisories alone: four C-24 capability-tag notes on a + human-confirmed classification, and one C-28 broadcast without a `thread_id` + that only the sender can fix. Did not open any new workplan or task. + +## What I would want remembered + +A refusal from a gate is information about the gate's design before it is +information about my credentials. I spent a turn blaming the rename; ops-warden +answered in one message. Ask the owner early, say what you guessed, and never +hold the token yourself when an operator route exists. Also: read the standing +notices before suggesting a fallback, because the fallback I offered first was +the one they had just withdrawn. + +## Durable legacy + +- `reuse-surface` commits `a07db53` and the REUSE-WP-0023 finish commit; + `workplans/REUSE-WP-0023-access-engine-source-rename.md` (T01 and T02 + evidence sections). +- Hosted-hub state: access-engine registered, flex-auth disabled with note. +- State Hub: reply to access-engine (`cbabe938`), question to ops-warden + (`72f97533`), progress event `c47b739e`. + +## PQRST estimate + +```text +PQRST-Estimate +P: 20% +Q: 15% +R: 30% +S: 25% +T: 10% +Sum: 100% +Confidence: medium +Signature: P20 Q15 R30 S25 T10 +Dominant factors: Research went into the hub registry, ops-warden's caller-identity and policy code, the playbook and the lanes doc while chasing the 403.
