WARDEN-WP-0033 finished — key-cape accepted the issuance question five days ago

T04 was the last open task, waiting on key-cape to accept or refuse ownership of
the coding-agent OpenBao issuance identity. They accepted, in KEY-WP-0009-T03,
on 2026-08-23: codex-railiance-platform is published in their
config/service-clients.example.yaml with subject service:codex:railiance-platform,
role coding-agent, scope openbao:login, 15m lifetime, and the service-auth
semantics in docs/openbao-service-auth-contract.md. The split is the one we
routed for — KeyCape issues, railiance-platform binds the OpenBao role, OpenBao
enforces, no secret value in either repo.

We found it by reading their repository. KEY-WP-0009-T04 records replying to
ops-warden; the inbox has zero messages from key-cape, read or unread. The task
sat `wait` on an answer that already existed.

That is T05's own lesson arriving on T04: a blocker is a claim about the world at
a date. So the same pass re-verified the two lanes pointing at key-cape against
their source instead of bumping dates:

- rapp-qonto-keycape-client -> verified: source-read. KEY-WP-0009-T02 did add
  bounded service-auth, but that is client_credentials JWT issuance for OpenBao
  machine login and does not front this client_secret_basic exchange or its
  rotation. Blocker stands, now with evidence rather than memory.
- key-cape-oidc-login -> asked of key-cape today, which the entry had recorded
  as still outstanding since 2026-08-21.

Also cleared the inbox that hid this: 9 stale unread, all superseded by shipped
work, with late closes sent to secrets-engine and llm-connect on the two threads
that had asked ops-warden something and never got an answer.

391 tests pass, ruff clean, boundary coverage 0 uncovered.

**Answered — accepted. Closed 2026-08-28.** `key-cape` accepted issuance
ownership in `KEY-WP-0009-T03` (`status: done`, 2026-08-23): the non-secret static
registration `codex-railiance-platform` is published in
`key-cape/config/service-clients.example.yaml` — subject
`service:codex:railiance-platform`, tenant `tenant:coulomb`, role `coding-agent`,
scope `openbao:login`, `client_credentials`, 15-minute lifetime — with the
service-auth claims, renewal, expiry and failure semantics in
`key-cape/docs/openbao-service-auth-contract.md` (`T02`). The split is exactly the
one the routing asked for: KeyCape owns JWT issuance and client disablement,
railiance-platform owns the exact-bound OpenBao role and policy, OpenBao owns
enforcement, and no secret value enters either repository.
**The answer was found by reading their repo, not by receiving it.**
`KEY-WP-0009-T04` records replying to ops-warden; no such message exists in the
ops-warden inbox — 0 messages from `key-cape`, read or unread. The acceptance had
been sitting done for five days while this task sat `wait` on it.
That is the T05 lesson landing on T04: a blocker is a claim about the world at a
date, and this one had stopped being true. `verified: source-read` is doing real
work here — it is the difference between "we asked" and "we checked". The
mechanism is right; what it needs is for someone to run it, which is why the
lanes below were re-verified in the same pass rather than date-bumped.
Consequence for `ADR-0004`: the honour-system `WARDEN_AGENT_ID` marker now has a
real issuance identity behind it on the OpenBao side. ops-warden remains a
consumer of that identity and does not own it.
