# Quarterly isolated identity restore drill
Work record: `NK-WP-0053` (from `NK-WP-0049-T24` gap G3, founder decision
`e4c288d9`, 2026-10-23). Cadence: quarterly, aligned with disaster-control
`BackupPolicy.md`. First drill due by **2027-01-31**, the end of the
single-provider risk acceptance.
The drill re-proves restores that have each been proven once (NK49-T16 LLDAP,
T31 privacyIDEA token material, T20 audit). It uses the existing reviewed
tooling unchanged and adds no grant, scheduler or production write. One
attended operator runs it in their own terminal, using the independently held
backup age key and the Backup-account credential through Platform custody.
## Scope
| Step | Tool | Proves |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Independent retrieval | `tools/bootstrap-recovery/retrieve-identity.py --source-receipt <node receipt> --receipt <private transfer receipt>` ([ceremony](bootstrap-recovery-ceremony.md) step 5) | The newest successful generation re-downloads and binds by ETag/size/hash |
| 2. LLDAP | `tools/bootstrap-recovery/run-isolated-lldap.sh <user> <transfer receipt>` | Directory restore and authentication in isolation |
| 3. privacyIDEA | `tools/bootstrap-recovery/run-isolated-privacyidea.sh <transfer receipt>` | Database, token-material decryption and audit signatures in isolation |
Out of scope: KeyCape consumer continuity (NK49-T18, a separate admitted
attempt), retained-factor MFA (T19), any production restore or cutover, and
`run-offline-recovery.sh` (it publishes kit files, which is a production
effect).
## Before the drill
- Pick the generation from the daily backup (the newest that passed health).
Record its date, not its content.
- Stage the pinned images locally. Each launcher refuses if they are missing.
- Confirm no outbound notification or provider write is configured. The
launchers enforce isolation; confirm their preflight passes.
## Pass and fail
A drill passes only if every launcher exits 0, each safe receipt reports
cleanup verified with no uncertainty, and the ciphertext digest in every receipt
equals the transfer receipt. Any other result is a **failed drill**. Record it
as a finding under NK-WP-0049 or its successor, with the safe receipts. Do not
rerun with modified inputs until the cause is understood, and never repair a
receipt by hand.
## Evidence
Keep the value-safe receipts under
`docs/evidence/<YYYY-MM-DD>-identity-restore-drill/`:
`transfer.json` (public fields only), `lldap-recovery.json`,
`privacyidea-recovery.json` and a short `drill.json` with the date, generation,
operator role, verdict and next due date. Before committing, run the repository
secret scan (the pre-commit hook does this). No key, password, token or
plaintext may enter Git, State Hub or chat.
After each drill, put the next due date (drill date plus 3 months) on the
NK-WP-0053 record and tell disaster-control, so its restore-proof register
stays current.
