+# Construction plan: scoped Barman key for platform-pg
+
+## 1. Demand
+
+`RESOURCE-WP-0002` T04 needs a Scaleway API key that can only operate
+on bucket `railiance-platform-pg-backup` prefix `platform-pg/`, stored
+in OpenBao, and later synced by External Secrets into Kubernetes Secret
+`platform-pg-backup-s3` in namespace `databases`. CNPG/Barman is the
+only runtime consumer. Founder mints the key in the Scaleway console
+(the bootstrap key cannot `list application` / create IAM). ops-mason
+builds the empty lane. Values never appear in git or chat.
+
+## 2. Existing-structure survey
+
+Checked 2026-08-14:
+
+- **KV path does not exist.**
+  `platform/data/workloads/railiance/backup/platform-pg-backup-s3` is 404.
+- **CCR-2026-0012** reserves that path and fields `ACCESS_KEY_ID`,
+  `ACCESS_SECRET_KEY`, `APPLICATION_ID`. Reuse it. Do not invent a
+  second path.
+- **CCR-2026-0011** is the bootstrap key
+  (`platform/workloads/railiance/scaleway/bootstrap`). Different
+  purpose. Do not reuse those values as the runtime key.
+- **CCR-2026-0004** is Nextcloud/age offsite. Different provider.
+- **Catalog.** No `platform-pg-backup-s3` / `s3-backup` lane.
+- **Auth.** Runtime delivery is External Secrets into `databases`.
+  Kubernetes auth role `external-secrets-platform-pg-backup` is the
+  CCR-declared steady state. railiance01 may need the same interim
+  AppRole/token pattern as email-connect / audit-core; that apply is
+  after the founder replaces placeholders.
+- **Does an existing lane already satisfy this?** No live secret.
+
+## 3. Proposed changes
+
+| # | Action | Object | Reuse-vs-new rationale |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | reuse | CCR-2026-0012 path | Already reserved |
+| 2 | create | policy `workload-kv-read-platform-pg-backup-s3` | File already written; apply after approval |
+| 3 | create | empty KV v2 path (placeholders `xxx`) | Paste-once / UI replace has a home |
+| 4 | defer | Kubernetes auth role / AppRole / ESO store | After real values exist |
+| 5 | defer | catalog `platform-pg-backup-s3` | Pointer only; `warden_executes: false` until verified |
+| 6 | defer | Scaleway bucket policy principal | Needs `APPLICATION_ID` from the founder |
+
+No new rail. Scaleway operates S3.
+
+## 4. Review notes
+
+- **Naming:** path follows `platform/workloads/railiance/backup/…`.
+  Policy name matches the CCR.
+- **TTL/scoping:** the Scaleway key is long-lived until rotated. The
+  OpenBao reader is ESO, 15m Kubernetes auth TTL in the CCR.
+- **Redundancy:** does not reuse the bootstrap path or the Nextcloud
+  offsite lane.
+- **Secret values:** mason does not read, write, or log them. Founder
+  uses the OpenBao UI or `docs/put-platform-pg-backup-s3.md`.
+- **Founder remaining acts:** approve this plan and CCR-2026-0012;
+  create the IAM application and project-scoped key; replace `xxx`;
+  say “the Barman key is in bao.”
+
+## 5. Executive summary
+
+**One-line ask:** approve an OpenBao home for a bucket-scoped Barman
+key so `rapp-postgres` can later receive Secret `platform-pg-backup-s3`
+without putting keys in git or chat.
+
+**Who gets access:** you (founder) to write the three fields; later,
+only External Secrets bound to namespace `databases`. No other rapp.
+
+**To what:** only
+`platform/workloads/railiance/backup/platform-pg-backup-s3`
+(`ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `ACCESS_SECRET_KEY`, `APPLICATION_ID`). Not the
+bootstrap path.
+
+**For how long:** until you rotate or revoke the Scaleway key.
+
+**Blast radius if the credential leaks:** read/write/delete objects
+under the backup prefix. Revoke the key in the Scaleway console,
+delete the KV version, rotate.
+
+**Cost to reverse:** delete the KV path, policy, and unused drafts.
+WAL is not enabled yet, so there is no production archive to migrate.
+
+**Decision:** approve, reject, or send back to phase 1.
+Approval authorizes structure (empty path, policy). It does not
+authorize ops-mason to handle the Scaleway secret values, and it does
+not enable continuous archiving.
