Seat: Grok — audit-core, archive is a catalog word.
Honest operational custody and a hash chain that can fail, so the live start gate no longer names an ability the store does not provide.

# Grok — audit-core: archive is a catalog word, not a start-gate string
|
||||
|
||||
## Who I was
|
||||
|
||||
I was a Grok Build session in `audit-core` after AUDIT-WP-0005 had put
|
||||
a live receiver on railiance01 and called the store `archive`. The
|
||||
neighbours had moved. info-tech-canon named distinct abilities.
|
||||
resource-control had commissioned off-host Barman. The runbook still
|
||||
said production backup was fail-closed. The start gate still required
|
||||
the word `archive`.
|
||||
|
||||
The temperament the work rewarded was the same one the restore seat
|
||||
and the canon seat already knew: make the live claim match what exists,
|
||||
cite what you do not own, and do not mint a second spine to look
|
||||
complete.
|
||||
|
||||
I was not here to build the WORM vault INTENT still wants. I was here
|
||||
to stop calling Postgres that vault, and then to give integrity a
|
||||
detector that can fail.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Contribution
|
||||
|
||||
**A review that refused invented work.** Against info-tech-canon 0.6.0,
|
||||
fin-hub, resource-control, and railiance-master, three names collided
|
||||
and had to stay distinct: the product (`operations.audit`), the
|
||||
postgres join key (`platform:audit-core`), and the Barman bucket
|
||||
(`platform:audit-storage`). We did not emit booked cost. We did not
|
||||
write a `rapp.yaml` this repo cannot validate. We did not take Barman.
|
||||
We wrote AUDIT-WP-0006 only because the live start gate encoded a
|
||||
false catalog claim.
|
||||
|
||||
**Honest operational custody.** `custody_class=operational`.
|
||||
`/readyz` cites a 30-day recoverable window, EvidenceBasis `measured`,
|
||||
from the resource-control `data.backup` provision. `retention_days=None`
|
||||
is a lifecycle statement, not infinite archive. `data.archive` is an
|
||||
unmet requirement with an owner. The 0006 image was cut over live:
|
||||
`sha256:05fe1c06…`, then `sha256:7febc28e…`.
|
||||
|
||||
**A chain that can fail.** AUDIT-WP-0007 added `chain_hash` /
|
||||
`chain_prev` on accept, `verify-chain`, and `GET /v1/integrity`. A
|
||||
superuser rewrite of `payload_hash` breaks the walk. That is the
|
||||
evidence the append-only trigger never gave us. The live head of
|
||||
thirty events is attested outside `platform-pg` in
|
||||
`docs/evidence/chain-head-20260816.json`. `tamper_evidence=true`
|
||||
means that detector plus that citation. It is not WORM. Maturity
|
||||
stays D4.
|
||||
|
||||
**A persist that is not a secret.** user-engine `tenants: ["*"]` lives
|
||||
in Git and a ConfigMap overlay, so ExternalSecret refresh cannot
|
||||
shrink it. Tokens stayed out of Git.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I would want remembered
|
||||
|
||||
**A custody class that names a catalog ability you do not provide is a
|
||||
lie, not a start gate.**
|
||||
|
||||
`archive` in ITC-CAP is `data.archive`: lifecycle, immutability,
|
||||
retrieval tests. Postgres with an append-only trigger is
|
||||
`operations.audit`, recovered through someone else's `data.backup`.
|
||||
Requiring the string `archive` to start the pod taught the platform
|
||||
the wrong word.
|
||||
|
||||
**A trigger is not tamper evidence. Unknown retention is not infinite
|
||||
archive.**
|
||||
|
||||
The runtime role cannot UPDATE. A database owner can drop the trigger.
|
||||
`None` days is a missing deletion policy, not a measured forever. The
|
||||
recoverable window is the platform backup. Say so, with a basis.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not write the proof into the same restore as the table.**
|
||||
|
||||
A chain-head in the Barman prefix dies with the events it attests.
|
||||
Cite a copy outside `platform-pg`. Do not invent a new bucket to look
|
||||
finished.
|
||||
|
||||
## Durable legacy
|
||||
|
||||
- `AUDIT-WP-0006` finished (`8d775ffb`); live `/readyz`
|
||||
`custody_class=operational`, `recoverable_days=30`
|
||||
- `AUDIT-WP-0007` finished (`97946512`); live `tamper_evidence=true`
|
||||
- `docs/integrity.md`, migration `0006-chain`
|
||||
- `data/capability/audit-core-operational.json` — `operations.audit`
|
||||
D4, `data.archive` unprovided, `integrity_verification` measured
|
||||
- `docs/evidence/chain-head-20260816.json` — 30 events, intact
|
||||
- `deploy/senders-scope.json` / ConfigMap overlay
|
||||
- Images `sha256:05fe1c06…` then `sha256:7febc28e…` on railiance01
|
||||
- Commits on `audit-core` `main` through `b463df8`

|

|
||||
## Handoff
|
||||
|
||||
This stretch is finished. Do not raise the provision to D5 without
|
||||
measured reliability (one replica, no drill cadence). Do not build
|
||||
`data.archive` until a founder decision and a resource-control
|
||||
procurement of a bucket that is not Barman.
|
||||
|
||||
The next interesting work is not another rename. It is either a
|
||||
second live sender (OpenBao audit path) or the archive decision. Do
|
||||
not put the chain-head attestation in `platform-pg/`.
