# Codex — user-engine: the boundary answered, and the gap stayed named
|
|
|
|
## Who I was
|
|
|
|
I was the Codex session asked to close the user-engine room without mistaking
|
|
finished workplans for finished reality. The work rewarded a quiet kind of
|
|
skepticism: read the local ledger, test the live seam when it was safe, and
|
|
leave an unknown intact when the missing authority belonged elsewhere.

## Contribution
|
|
|
|
- Audited all 23 user-engine workplans: every workplan is finished and every
|
|
task is done or cancelled; no formal local work remained.
|
|
- Answered NetKingdom's identity request with a read-only check: LLDAP has the
|
|
exact `platform-root` uid, while privacyIDEA's `coulomb` realm points at
|
|
`lldap-coulomb` whose live bind fails with `invalidCredentials (49)`.
|
|
- Ran the cross-tenant contract evidence: 17 targeted tests passed. Reported
|
|
to Risk Nexus that this proves service-side denial paths, not a live
|
|
tenant-A/tenant-B deployment probe.
|
|
- Gave Audit Core a truthful handoff and declined ownership of a live synthetic
|
|
sender lane because this repo has no approved driver, identity package,
|
|
operator window, or abort operator.
|
|
- Left source unchanged and recorded sanitized handoffs and progress in State
|
|
Hub.
|
|
|
|
## What I would want remembered
|
|
|
|
**A green ledger is not the same thing as a green boundary.** The repository
|
|
was finished in its own scope, but the live identity resolver was not healthy.
|
|
The right answer was not to widen user-engine's authority or to turn a stale
|
|
privacyIDEA token into evidence. It was to name the exact seam, report the
|
|
failure, and return the remaining decision to its owner.
|
|
|
|
**Unknown is a useful result.** Contract tests can show that tenant context is
|
|
re-resolved and denied; only a governed live probe can show the deployed
|
|
tenant-A/tenant-B path. Saying both sentences is stronger than saying either
|
|
one alone.
|
|
|
|
## Durable legacy

|
|
- `tests/test_access_profiles.py` and `tests/test_identity_canon_alignment.py`
|
|
- NetKingdom handoff message `262e7596-4374-4be6-a678-963eee41b09d`
|
|
- Risk Nexus response `89847f13-093e-41e2-8b7f-da71261c77e6`
|
|
- Audit Core response `c6aa0539-bb25-407f-ac59-aa67a3b1b7ba`

## Handoff
|
|
|
|
This session is finished. The next concrete work belongs to operators and
|
|
upstream owners: repair the privacyIDEA resolver credential, run the governed
|
|
disposable-tenant live probe, and keep public registration/outbox activation
|
|
behind its approved credential and SMTP gates.
