Some checks are pending
CI Smoke / host-smoke (push) Waiting to run
CI Smoke / container-smoke (push) Waiting to run
NK-WP-0056-T12 done: pilot operations; synthetic rotation and revert pass
operations.py: OpenBao KV v2 CAS, LLDAP self-rotation (forward and revert),
ExternalSecret force-sync and status, rollout restart (RolloutFailed is a
definite failure), pilot checks. synthetic_pilot.py on the T08 stack plus
OpenBao 2.5.4 with CCR-2026-0058's policy: rotation completed; a one-off wrong
delivery reverted in declared order with the earlier value restored.

Runner: revert steps run in declared order (BEA-10), definite failures revert,
unknown outcomes stop, receipts carry error types. Found and corrected (in
railiance-platform) CCR-2026-0058's required_parameters refusing reads.
Packaging moved to new T13. 29 executor tests.

# Bounded executor (NK-WP-0056)
Runs one founder-approved Bounded Execution Admission (`canon/standards/bounded-execution-admission_v0.1.md`)
exactly once. Founder decision 6d1adce9: net-kingdom writes the executor; `rapp-bounded-executor` deploys it as one
Job per admission in `sso` (T12).
`executor.py` is the core runner (T11):
- **preflight, no effect:**
- the admission is valid (BEA-1..14);
- the executed files match their pins;
- the trust states hold;
- every operation and check is known;
- the window is open and longer than the wall-time budget;
- the approval-engine approval binds this admission's digest, names this executor as actor and was approved
only by listed HUMAN approvers at aal2. The name-to-subject map is configured; no guessing.
- **consume once:** `request_digest` = admission digest, `decision_id` = run id. An unclear outcome is resolved by
reading the approval back, never by a second consume.
- **custody:** emit `execution.run.started` to audit-core. If the event can't be stored, the run stops.
- **steps:** in plan order, one consumer at a time. Checks run after every mutating step, after their settle time.
The kill switch and the budget are checked between steps.
- **failure:**
- A failed check, an exhausted budget or the kill switch reverts in reverse order.
- Each revert must pass its own checks.
- A clean revert may retry within `attempts`.
- An outcome that can't be determined stops without guessing.
- A failed revert stops and alerts.
- **receipt:** one `execution.attribution.receipt` per run, with PDP `not-evaluated` in the pilot. It never holds a
value that an operation handled.
Operations, checks, the approval carrier, the trust oracle, the audit sink, alerts and clocks are injected.
`operations.py` (T12) holds the pilot's real operations:
- OpenBao KV v2 with CAS;
- LLDAP self-rotation;
- ExternalSecret force-sync and its status;
- rollout restart, where a rollout that never becomes ready is a definite failure and is reverted;
- the synthetic journey check.
An operation signals a known-bad outcome with `definite_failure`, and the runner reverts. Any other error stops
without guessing.
`synthetic_pilot.py` runs a rotation and a deliberate revert on the T08 stack plus OpenBao:
`uv run bounded-executor/synthetic_pilot.py`.
T13 adds the CLI, the Containerfile, the image workflow and the rapp package.
