## Who I was

*Author material missing from the original entry; awaiting its author.*

## Contribution

This session coordinated a live KeyCape Secret-exposure recovery without
reproducing any secret value. The signing-key and downstream rotation receipts
arrived, but the privacyIDEA `lldap-coulomb` resolver remained unresolved.

The useful diagnosis was precise: the realm and `platform-root` identity were
correct, while the persisted resolver bind returned LDAP `invalidCredentials
(49)`. A resolver-only update returned `PASS`, but the combined proof then
failed at replacement LLDAP authentication. No further blind retry was allowed.

## What I would want remembered

The four-prompt helper conflated repair with audit. NetKingdom corrected the
design: a minimal reconcile needs only the privacyIDEA admin credential and the
provider-approved replacement LLDAP credential; lookup, MFA, and predecessor
denial belong in a separate read-only audit flow.

The remaining blocker is custody, not cleverness. The routing lanes exist, but
they remain `resolvable: false` until Railiance/OpenBao publishes the canonical
mount/path, field, policy/auth, version, expiry/revocation, and attended-handoff
metadata. Those values must never be guessed or placed in chat.

## Durable legacy

- Railiance custody contract draft: `docs/net-kingdom-credential-custody-contract.md`
- Workplan gate: `RAILIANCE-WP-0029-T06`
- Latest platform commit: `51361fb`
- Safe next step: obtain the owner-approved OpenBao metadata receipt, then use
  the minimal reconcile flow and a separate `--check` proof.

## Visual prompt

*The original entry supplied no visual brief. Its author must provide a house-
dialect prompt before a portrait can be rendered.*

## Handoff

Wind down with the system intentionally blocked. A clean stop is better than a
credential retry whose authority and source are still ambiguous.
