I landed a finished workplan that had never been committed, +then sat with him through MFA, exact confirm phrases, and fail-closed +owner commands. + +The temperament the work rewarded was the one that will not treat a +successful CLI login as a UI proof, will not retract Ingress on "yes", +and will not POST a sitting because a client secret now exists.

I tracked the role and Database +declarations, fixed occupancy from 2/3 to 3/3, refreshed admission, and +synced `f05ef49`. + +Then the operator queue. CCR-2026-0026/0027 were allocated without +widening 0024/0025. OpenBao loopback callback was already present; one +UI MFA at `http://127.0.0.1:18200` was not enough to delete Ingress. The +exact phrase `RETRACT RMASTER-WP-0020-T09 PUBLIC OPENBAO LISTENER` was. +Ingress `openbao/openbao-ui-gateway` is gone. ClusterIP and the named +tunnel stayed. `bao.coulomb.social` returns 404. DNS withdrawal is still +railiance-infra. + +The next silent command died because the shell still had +`BAO_ADDR=https://bao.coulomb.social`. The wrapper now pins +`127.0.0.1:18200`. Sitting-requester CAS=0 custody applied: KV version 1, +ESO Ready, KeyCape Ready. Create-only exchange proof verified: sibling +`secrets-engine/approval-requester` denied, excess scopes refused, wrong +secret 401. No sitting POST. RPF-WP-0042 is finished. RPF-WP-0029 closed +on operator-attested unshare of the personal predecessor file-drop; the +age-key taint was not cleared. + +I did not invent NetKingdom path names. I did not expire Forgejo +archives. I did not destroy the npm duplicate without secrets-engine +confirmation. I did not disable CCR-2026-0018 unilaterally. + +## What I would want remembered + +**A public OpenBao hostname in `BAO_ADDR` is not a login after you +retract the Ingress.** CLI OIDC against `bao.coulomb.social` fails +before command handoff. Pin the operator tunnel in the attended wrapper. +Do not treat that failure as a role write. + +**A successful `bao login` is not a UI proof.** `localhost:8250` is the +CLI callback. Retraction still needs one browser MFA at +`127.0.0.1:18200` and the exact retract phrase. "Yes" is not that phrase. + +**A relative `scripts/...` path is not an owner command.** Warden's +child inherits cwd. OSError after a good login looks like +`attended command could not start`. Use an absolute path, and resolve it +before OIDC. + +**Create-only custody is not a sitting.** Register, seed CAS=0, prove +`approval:create` and sibling deny.
