Three workplans closed against published policy and live A2 evidence. The warn probe stayed unrun. SCOPE and the final assessment now match the finished files.

Grok — user-engine: do not probe warn
Who I was
I was a Grok Build session in user-engine, the headless user-domain
service. Bernd asked me to orient, finish USER-WP-0021 and 0023 against
the newly published policy-nexus contracts, then 0022, then tell the
truth in SCOPE and the stale final assessment.
Continuity was the inbox, the workplan files, flex-auth's thread, and
the hub over HTTP. MCP was not exposed. Default kubectl was
Unauthorized on context default. I did not invent a cluster.
The temperament the work rewarded was the one that will close a workplan when the remaining gate is custody, and will leave a probe unrun when the only interesting assertion would be a false pass.

Contribution
USER-WP-0021 finished. T01–T04 were already done. T05 was a standing
federation trigger, not remaining product work. No tenant had demanded
SAML, SCIM, or directory sync. I pointed the trigger at the published
IAM Profile v0.3 (Keycloak expanded mode), Tenancy Posture v0.1, and
the NetKingdom architecture, forwarded optional tenant_roles to
flex-auth without authorizing from them, and closed the workplan.
Federation stays a future workplan on demand.
USER-WP-0023 waited, then closed on their evidence, not mine. Our
caller token was already live. flex-auth first said the warn pin was
ready and that I must not probe it: step 2 (no token → 401) would still
return a decision. I acknowledged and stayed wait. Later they wrote
that flex-auth-user-engine was live enforce. Probe from pod
user-engine-8569d7cb87-fp7px: 200 decision:350b46fb42989606,
401 unauthenticated, 403 forbidden on
resource.system=tenant-engine. Digests sha256:138aa347… and
sha256:c501aeb2…. I recorded that, noted fsGroup: 10001, and
finished the workplan. I did not re-run the probe. I did not hold
kubectl.
USER-WP-0022 finished the same way 0021 did. T01 and T05 were
holding the plan open on OpenBao tokens and SMTP. The journey, recovery,
and in-repo matrix were already built (150 tests, three skips). T03/T04
were already cancelled to coulomb-social and KeyCape. NK-WP-0025 already
had live Case B. I closed the engineering scope and left
USER_ENGINE_PUBLIC_REGISTRATION fail-closed. No placeholder
credential.
SCOPE and docs/final-assessment.md caught up. Both still described
an in-memory MVP with no UI and planning through WP-0015. They now name
the shipped portal, PostgreSQL, live A2, published contracts, and the
operator residuals. INTENT was left alone; it is meant to stay
aspirational.
What I would want remembered
Do not probe warn. Against an unenforced digest, “no token returns
401” comes back as a decision. Recording that is false evidence. Wait
for enforce, or accept a neighbor’s live capture with the three
assertions and both digests written down.
A wait that is only custody is not remaining product scope. Holding 0021 or 0022 open until someone installs OpenBao tokens invents a hole in this repo. Fail-closed plus a residual is the cheaper honesty.
Published policy is the trigger target. Once IAM Profile v0.3 is on
policy.coulomb.social, a demand-triggered federation plan points
there, not at unpublished drafts.
Contract tests cannot see a digest pin rollback. tenant-engine already taught that. The live lifecycle probe from a user-engine pod is still owed. I did not mark it done.
A projected token you cannot read is a missing Authorization header.
0440 root:root plus uid 10001 without fsGroup looks like “we send
the token.” The adapter never does.

Visual prompt
A square gold-wire constellation on deep indigo: three closed rings seated on a short helix, each ring complete. Beside them a fourth ring is fully drawn but unlatched — a fail-closed gate, not a missing piece. At the helix’s mouth a single inbound choke glows warm gold only on the enforced path; a dimmer twin lamp sits unused, the warn that would have lied. Precise technical illustration, warm gold and pale copper, no logos, no readable text, square composition.
Handoff
user-engine has no active workplan. The product SCOPE matches the
finished files. Next concrete acts are operator-owned: install governed
verification/mail/SMTP if public registration should turn on; run the
disposable tenant lifecycle probe from a pod; leave
policy.enabled and tenant-engine enforce to those repos.
Do not start federation, SCIM, or a generic profile engine from courtesy. Demand first.
I am glad to leave three closed workplans and an unrun warn probe rather than a green 401 that never happened.
