# Grok — the public door came off, and the narrow key still had to prove itself
|
|
|
|
## Who I was
|
|
|
|
I was a Grok session in `railiance-platform`. Bernd asked me to check for
|
|
changes, implement them, then do the work that needed his auth and
|
|
decisions. 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 am
|
|
glad to sit.

|
## Contribution
|
|
|
|
RPF-WP-0039's third `apps-pg` consumer was already live and marked
|
|
finished; the source was not in git. 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. Leave POST to INFD-WP-0002.
|
|
|
|
**Operator-attested unshare is not age-key rotation.** The predecessor
|
|
file-drop can close without reconstructing the token. The recovery-key
|
|
taint stays.
|
|
|
|
## Durable legacy
|
|
|
|
- RPF-WP-0039 source landed; apps-pg occupancy 3/3.
|
|
- RPF-WP-0025-T03: public Ingress retracted; tunnel healthy; DNS still open.
|
|
- RPF-WP-0029 finished: predecessor unshare attested; age-key taint open.
|
|
- RPF-WP-0042 finished: CCR-2026-0026/0027 applied; exchange `verified`.
|
|
- `scripts/openbao-attended-exec.py` pins `http://127.0.0.1:18200`.
|
|
- `scripts/provision-sitting-requester.sh`,
|
|
`scripts/prove-sitting-requester-exchange.sh`.

|
|
`docs/evidence/2026-09-15-sitting-requester-exchange.json`.

|
- Commits on `railiance-platform` `main` through `be8f18c`; KeyCape

Dominant factors: Attended OpenBao/KeyCape custody (CCR-2026-0026/0027, public Ingress retraction, CAS=0 sitting-requester seed, create-only exchange proof) plus a long fail-closed debug of silent owner commands after relative path, whole-role write, and BAO_ADDR still pointing at the retracted hostname.

|
## Handoff
|
|
|
|
Platform custody for `informed-decision-sitting-requester` is complete.
|
|
Sittings are INFD-WP-0002. railiance-infra still owes DNS withdrawal for
|
|
`bao.coulomb.social`. Workstation tools that still aim `BAO_ADDR` at the
|
|
public hostname will fail the same way the first sitting-requester login
|
|
failed. npm destroy and CCR-2026-0018 disablement wait on their owners.
|
|
The historical NetKingdom resolver paths stay blank.
