All checks were successful
Build and Publish Container Image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 43s
Reconcile packaging, bootstrap and migration credential handling
Closes gap G09: five loosely related defects.

lldap-export took the service account password on argv, where ps exposes it to
any local user and shell history and process accounting capture it. It now
prefers KEYCAPE_LLDAP_BIND_PW or --bind-pw-file; --bind-pw still works but warns,
deprecated rather than removed because existing runbooks use it and breaking them
silently would be worse than one more cycle of exposure. Conflicting sources are
rejected instead of silently ranked, since an operator otherwise cannot tell
which bind was attempted. Both migration scripts pass the password by
environment now.

The canonical export, generated LDIF and Keycloak realm were written 0644. None
carries credential material, but the snapshot is every username, display name,
email and group membership in the estate, and it tends to land in /tmp. All three
are 0600.

The image packaged keycape alone, so the validator and migration binaries needed
a Go toolchain on the host -- which defeats shipping an image for the cutover
work they exist to support. All five ship; the issuer stays the entrypoint.
Verified by building the image and running each binary inside it.

The publish workflow named 92.205.130.254:32166 while the cluster runs
forgejo.coulomb.social/coulomb/key-cape. It now defaults to the recorded name and
stays overridable by a repository variable. This repository cannot verify that
the runner resolves that hostname or that the registry credentials are valid for
it; if the next publish fails, set the REGISTRY variable back to the address.

docker-compose.dev.yml mounts a private key and Authelia material that are
correctly absent from the checkout. scripts/bootstrap-dev.sh generates them
locally under a restrictive umask rather than chmodding afterwards, so the key is
never briefly world-readable. Everything it writes is git-ignored.

# SCOPE
Reviewed 2026-09-05 against source revision `b989de4`.
## Purpose and boundary
KeyCape is Go identity **Tooling** for NetKingdom's lightweight IAM deployment.
It runs its own OIDC-style issuer, uses Authelia for upstream browser
authentication, reads identities from LLDAP, and delegates factor checks to
privacyIDEA. It also provides caller authentication commands, directory snapshot
validation, and migration artifact generators.
It issues identity, role, scope and assurance claims. Resource authorization
belongs to access-engine and consuming services; secret custody and OpenBao
policy/token enforcement belong to their platform owners. The implemented subset
supports NetKingdom integrations, but complete profile conformance and drop-in
Keycloak interchangeability are not established.
## Implemented capabilities
| Surface | What the current source provides |
| --- | --- |
| Issuer HTTP API | Discovery, `/authorize` and its callback/registration-return routes, `/token`, `/jwks`, `/userinfo`, local `/logout`, and `/healthz`. |
| Human authentication | Authorization code with S256 PKCE, exact registered redirects, scope allow-lists, Authelia login, privacyIDEA MFA challenges, client-specific assurance requirements, browser session reuse, step-up/fresh-login handling, and configured registration/enrollment handoffs. |
| Service authentication | Static confidential `client_credentials` clients authenticated with form-encoded `client_secret_basic`; configured subject, tenant, roles, scopes and per-client token lifetime. Secrets are resolved from environment references at startup. |
| Tokens and identity | Locally signed RS256 JWTs; configurable access-token resource audience while ID tokens retain the client audience; human/service principal types, tenant, groups, roles, scope and assurance claims. UserInfo resolves canonical directory subjects and filters profile/email/groups by scope. |
| Caller commands | `keycape login` for public-client browser PKCE login and `keycape service-token` for service exchange. HTTPS discovery/JWKS verification and private JSON token-file delivery outside Git; no token output on stdout. |
| Validation and migration | Canonical snapshot checks; deterministic LLDAP user/group/membership export that records whether it enumerated the whole directory; basic Keycloak realm JSON; LDIF generation for OpenLDAP, 389 Directory Server and AD targets. These generate artifacts rather than execute a complete migration. |
| Diagnostics and packaging | Structured authentication/enforcement/migration events, liveness and dependency-probing readiness endpoints, Go build/test/vet targets, a container packaging the issuer and all four migration/validation binaries, and development/CI scaffolding. |
## Material limits
- Client registrations, service secrets and the signing key are loaded at startup.
Login, authorization and handoff state are process-local. There is no shared
session store, general refresh-token flow, token introspection/revocation API,
or automatic signing-key/client-secret rotation service. Logout clears the
local KeyCape session, not every upstream or downstream session/token.
- The optional tenant-engine `tenant_roles` adapter is wired through a
`tenantEngine` config block and is off unless `baseURL` is set (KEY-WP-0024).
When enabled it fails open: an unreachable source omits the claim rather than
failing issuance, so `tenant_roles` is a cache and must not be trusted for
privileged decisions.
- The LLDAP export enumerates the group subtree directly, so groups with no
members are present, and every snapshot carries a `groupEnumeration` field
saying whether that enumeration ran or the membership-derived fallback did
(KEY-WP-0018). A failed enumeration aborts the export rather than writing a
smaller snapshot, and read failures are reported rather than skipped. Users,
groups and memberships are sorted, so an unchanged directory exports
identically. Completeness beyond users, groups and memberships — passwords and
MFA credentials in particular — is still not covered.
- The Keycloak CLI takes a `-clients` config and migrates client registrations:
flows follow the declared grants, and audience, tenant, service subject and
roles are carried as protocol mappers with per-client lifetime, handoff URLs
and the secret *reference* as attributes (KEY-WP-0020). What it cannot carry it
names, in a report separate from the consistency check: secret values, MFA
policy enforcement, passwords and factor enrolment, and subject continuity —
Keycloak mints its own `sub`, so the LLDAP canonical ID survives only as an
attribute. The output is a reviewed artifact, not a proven migration; that
proof needs a live provider swap and is not established.
- Snapshot validation is a limited Go rule set, not full machine-readable schema
enforcement. Raw LDAP attribute keys are checked for descriptor validity,
canonical-mapping shadowing and case-only duplicates (KEY-WP-0021); attribute
values are not validated against a directory schema, and no allow-list of
permitted attribute names exists, since that field carries what the canonical
model does not name. The canonical YAML model and discovery metadata now match the
runtime client-registration surface and are held there by a conformance check
(KEY-WP-0017); the Go model is the runtime authority and the YAML the reviewed
contract. That is narrower than schema enforcement in general.
- The authorization-code grant now binds the redirect URI,
enforces grant-type eligibility, authenticates confidential clients and
consumes codes atomically, and UserInfo enforces algorithm, issuer and
access-token purpose (KEY-WP-0016). Upstream Authelia ID tokens are verified
before any claim is trusted — signature against the provider's published keys,
advertised issuer, own client ID in the audience, validity window — failing
closed and independently of transport (KEY-WP-0019). KeyCape deliberately does
not check or gate on the upstream transport. Enforcing these bindings
is not complete profile conformance. Relying parties must repeat `redirect_uri`
on the token exchange and present the access token, not the ID token, to
`/userinfo`; see [authorization-code bindings](docs/authorization-code-bindings.md).
See the assessment below.
- Tests cover local handlers, adapters, transformations and CLI protocol behavior.
They do not establish complete replacement against a running Keycloak/full-LDAP
stack. The Scenario B/C harnesses now run, and `src/tests/conformance` targets a
live issuer named by `KEYCAPE_TEST_ISSUER`, skipping when it is unset
(KEY-WP-0022). Run against Keycloak 26.0 it verified discovery, the
authorization surface, the published keys and a real token exchange — and
showed that stock Keycloak advertises the excluded `implicit` and `password`
grants, so it is not a drop-in for this profile. Directory migration is proved
end to end into a real OpenLDAP, with every migrated membership resolving, and a
realm built from a live export imports into Keycloak and serves discovery
(KEY-WP-0023). Relying-party behaviour and MFA against a migrated realm remain
unexercised, and credential/MFA migration is not supplied at all, so no harness
can establish it. Subject continuity is explicitly not preserved: the canonical
ID survives as an attribute while Keycloak mints its own `sub`.
- The server listens on HTTP; HTTPS termination is deployment-owned.
`/healthz` is liveness and probes nothing; `/readyz` probes LLDAP, Authelia and
privacyIDEA and gates traffic. `SIGTERM` drains in-flight requests for 15s.
The supported topology is a single replica, since login and authorization state
is process-local — see [operations](docs/operations.md) for that and for the
key-rotation, client-removal and logout limits. Development
Compose needs key and Authelia material absent from the checkout by design;
`scripts/bootstrap-dev.sh` generates it locally and git-ignores it
(KEY-WP-0026). Production
deployment and custody are external; a source implementation or example client
fragment does not prove live registration or consumer cutover.
- Approval-client provisioning, coordinated Qonto rotation, native consumer
handoffs and notification receipt closure remain open in KEY-WP-0009/0013/0014.
## Deliberate exclusions
General-purpose IAM, dynamic client registration, implicit/password grants,
wildcard redirects, arbitrary identity brokering, resource authorization policy,
OpenBao credential custody, and Keycloak operations are outside this repository's
ownership. Registration/enrollment handoffs do not implement user provisioning
or factor enrollment themselves.
## Entry points and verification
Run the issuer with `keycape --config PATH`; `keycape server` and
`keycape migrate` are not implemented subcommands. Caller commands are
`keycape login` and `keycape service-token`.
Separate binaries under `src/cmd/` are `validator`, `lldap-export`,
`keycape-to-keycloak`, and `lldap-to-ldap`. `make -C src build` places binaries in
root `bin/`; the container packages only `keycape`. Tests live under `src/tests/`
and alongside packages in `src/internal/`.
`make test`, `make lint` (Go vet), `make build`, and `make contract-test` are the
root checks. The capability-contract check requires the sibling NetKingdom
validator. These checks passed for the reviewed revision in the preceding
implementation session; the scope assessment is a source/documentation review.
Use this repo for its bounded issuer, caller JWT acquisition, identity adapters
and migration preparation. Consult [INTENT.md](INTENT.md) for the architectural
target, [native authentication](docs/native-authentication.md) for caller
constraints, and the [scope/intent assessment](history/2026-09-05-011726-scope-intent-assessment.md)
for evidence, priorities and remaining gaps.
