The standard is accepted at v0.7, with SECURITY-COMPANION.md v0.2 as its
operative form. Four ops-warden findings were adopted between v0.4 and v0.7 —
§9.1's two marks, §5's Tooling scope rule, §6.4 obligation 1's second limb, and
§13.1's existence — and both ops-warden declaration artifacts are now cited in
the text as the estate's reference forms.
INTENT.md gains frontmatter (layer: Staff, pep_shaped: true) because §11 requires
a machine-readable declaration and prose cannot distinguish a declaration from a
transcribed review. The note now covers the agent principal (§3.4), the PEP
shape, the attributive evidence position, and the role the companion assigns:
the estate is told to ask ops-warden which lane, which credential, which route.
SCOPE.md records what is actually shipped against v0.7 and the honest conformance
state — declared gap, which is tracked non-conformance, not conformance.
The assessment checked every obligation against shipped code rather than intent.
Three gaps survive:
- §9.7.2 requires a PEP to state one revocation visibility deadline. Ours is
unstated, and the honest value is uncomfortable: the cert TTL, up to 48h. A
cert outlives revocation of the decision that authorized it — no CRL, no KRL
distribution. That is a design property never written down, which is exactly
what §9.7.2 exists to force into the open.
- §3.4 rule 1 forbids standing credentials and requires issued, attributable
authority. ADR-0004's boundary keys on WARDEN_AGENT_ID, which an agent sets
about itself. key-cape now issues a real coding-agent identity, so the
ops-warden half can stop being advisory.
- §9.6 cadence remains undeclared. Attributive, so SHOULD not MUST, but silence
through two reviews is the one outcome that is not defensible.
WARDEN-WP-0034 addresses all three, plus the discoverability gap the companion
creates and two items to route rather than absorb.
402 tests pass, ruff clean.

All three v0.4 findings were acted on — §9.1 split into pending/declared-gap and
§5's scope rule adopted as recommended and credited, and §9.6 ruled via the
load-bearing/attributive distinction with ops-warden's `# audit must not block
signing` named as the estate's live example.
Checked the favourable ruling rather than accepting it. §9.6's test is "no
control branches on its presence": the only consumer of audit.jsonl is `warden
activity`, which displays. Nothing gates on a signing record, so the lane is
genuinely attributive. AuditTrail.md now records the ruling instead of the open
question, and states that the trade must be revisited if a control ever gates on
the trail.
CONFORMANCE ACTION. §6.4 obligation 3 requires a stance map "published rather
than held in code", and requires every PEP-shaped consumer to publish one so the
maps can be inventoried — naming ADR-0009 as the reference shape. ops-warden was
not doing it: the map lived in PolicyConfig.failure_modes, a dataclass default.
Not a code comment, but not published either.
pep-stance.yaml publishes it, and the test asserts the published map EQUALS the
shipped default. A published map that may drift from the code is worse than no
map, because it invites reliance it cannot support.
Two findings sent to gate-house, in history/2026-08-29-layer-model-v06-review.md:
§6.4 obligation 1 (no side effect without a decision record) contradicts
obligation 3 and §9.3, with ops-warden's blessed fail-open stance as the
instance; and §6.4 mandates a stance-map inventory in §13 that §13 does not
implement — where ops-warden is currently the only PEP to have published one.
402 tests pass, ruff clean.

Assessment in history/2026-08-29-layer-model-v04-review.md. No objection to the
ruling; both ops-warden amendments were adopted (5.2 conduit, 5.3 declared gap).
Three findings, one against us.
The one against us is real. 9.6 requires emission atomic with the state change
for load-bearing evidence. ops-warden ca.py carries `pass # audit must not block
signing` and AuditTrail.md advertises that the trail never blocks the primary
action, so a failed append loses the event while the cert still issues -- a
suppressed event leaving the chain intact, which is exactly what 9.6 describes.
Whether to make it atomic is gate-house doctrine, not ops-wardens call: it would
give the estates operational access lane a new dependency on its own evidence
store. But one half of the fix is ours regardless -- the trail must not be read
as complete. AuditTrail.md now says absence of a record is not evidence of
absence, which it did not.

The security layer model moved v0.1 -> v0.4 (accepted) after ops-warden's
assent. Both §5 asks from ADR-0010 were adopted: §5.2 now sanctions the conduit
shape on the supplied-authority property, and §5.3 is the declared engine gap
amendment, carrying the four fields verbatim and crediting ops-warden's
delegation machinery as prior art.
Which creates an obligation. §5.3 requires those fields MACHINE-READABLY, and
§11 makes "every direct Tooling client maps to a declared §5.1/§5.2/§5.3 entry"
a mechanical check. ops-warden's declaration was prose in INTENT.md — the repo
that proposed the shape was not implementing it.
layer.yaml is the map: 5 contacts (2 declared gaps, 1 read-only observation,
2 conduits) plus the non-Tooling clients recorded explicitly so the check is
total rather than silently selective.
scripts/check_layer_conformance.py enforces it and found three undeclared
modules on its first run — all false positives (help text, a docstring, and the
doubles library that SIMULATES bao rather than calling it), which is why the
scan now matches invocation shapes instead of the word: an httpx call built
against the configured OpenBao address, or an argv whose first element is the
bao binary.
tests/test_layer_conformance.py adds the §5.2 test the standard says SHOULD
exist: _caller_env() returns the caller's environment unchanged, and proxy.py
is asserted not to reference X-Vault-Token, approle login, or token create — a
conduit that presents its own token is not a conduit.
No assertion on review dates, deliberately: a date-triggered failure breaks the
build on a calendar day with no code change, the same reasoning WP-0033-T05
recorded for blocker staleness.
398 tests pass, ruff clean.

railiance-platform accepted ops-warden revision 0fae0904 on 2026-08-23, in
RPF-WP-0017 (status: finished), together with railiance-infra approval at
186b030 and all five acceptance criteria met. T02 has been sitting `progress`
on a gate that was already open.
Verified rather than trusted: the receipt at bc1966da hashes to
d2ba444ed16989590325697e69d25283dc75a9432c29a72e627e80bf9fd987e4, matching
their record exactly.
One reason it went unnoticed is an identifier mismatch — T02 cites the
remediation interface as RAILIANCE-WP-0026-T01, but it is RPF-WP-0017-T01 in
the owner repo, and the cited id resolves to an unrelated workplan there.
Their acceptance is source acceptance only and authorizes no live drill, so
T02 stays progress: what unblocks is preparing a NEW scenario, which needs a
fresh human GO and is the platform owner s to execute. Surfaced, not taken.

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.

c374d41 added net-kingdom-lldap-bind-credential and
net-kingdom-privacyidea-admin-token as `risk: high` and did not re-run the
emitter, so registry/generated/high-risk-data-paths.yaml still described the
catalog at 0fae090. railiance-platform consumes that file instead of
hand-maintaining its deny list, and it has been reading a census two lanes short
since 2026-08-23.
This is precisely the drift WARDEN-WP-0033-T03 built the guard for — a lane
graded high after the last emit silently failing to reach the consumer. The
guard fired; nothing had acted on it.
The deny list itself does not move: both lanes are blocked on their OpenBao path
being published, so they land in `no_concrete_path` and concrete_path_count
stays 14. What changes is the count the consumer sees — 23 high-risk lanes, two
of which have no address yet. That is the honest signal and the reason the
bucket is listed rather than omitted.
check_agent_read_boundary.py still reports 0 uncovered.
The workload-join census moves 9 -> 11 not-applicable: both lanes are
provider/control-plane credentials rather than workload delivery lanes.

gate-house asked ops-warden to assent to three boundary items ratified in
GH-DEC-2026-001. All three are assented in ADR-0010.
Staff: accepted. Grepping section 5 as it invites turned up a real
non-conformance — src/warden/vault.py is a direct OpenBao client performing a
write, and so is `warden desk`'s `bao kv put`. Section 5's only escape hatch is
read-only diagnostics, which does not cover a signing write, so both are
declared in INTENT.md as an engine gap with intended owner secrets-engine and
the blocker "no engine exposes an SSH-CA surface" — ADR-0003 turned inward
rather than an exemption argued for. taint.py is metadata-only and declared
under the read-only allowance; `warden access` proxies run under the caller's
identity and supply no authority of their own.
Doctrine versus runbook: accepted. NetKingdom Security Literacy becomes a lane
routing runbook that references gate-house doctrine instead of restating it. It
had also become a prose second source for registry/routing/catalog.yaml, which
ADR-0001 already rules against.
Lane versus rule: assented unconditionally, and the access-engine veto is not
exercised. One request on sequencing only — a window where both names resolve.
gate-house added to the routing tables in INTENT.md and SCOPE.md.

The live-file pass missed these: archived ad-hocs carry a YYMMDD- filename
prefix, so the ADHOC-* glob did not match them. They still derive from the
forge, so they are live records rather than dead files.

`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD` is unique per date but not per repository, so any two repos
opening an ad-hoc on the same day collide. The 2026-08-26 fleet projection
reset refused 9 records for exactly this reason.
Canon (work-record-types_v0.1, CUST-WP-0066) settled the form as
`{PREFIX}-WP-ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD`, filename unchanged, and grandfathered existing
ids on the condition they are never *silently* re-derived. This is the explicit
migration that clause allows for.
The hub id is derived from the record id, so a changed id is a different
record: stale state_hub_*_id fields are dropped and fix-consistency re-derives.

These workplans exist only in the retired local hub. Their random pre-ADR-007
identifiers are refused by C-06 as stale references, so they cannot be
registered. Deriving from the canonical record id takes no identity from
anything: central does not hold them and the old ids die with the cache.
Records central already holds were deliberately left untouched.

The file carried an identifier minted by the retired local hub while central

different-UUID duplicate-registration class.
Central is authoritative (ADR-010 decision 1) and decision 6 says to mitigate
by changing the repository file rather than editing central, so the file adopts
central's id. The cache-side id dies with the cache.

risk-nexus accepted the offer to match their convention rather than grow a second
one, and published it: 14d critical/high, 30d medium, 60d low, nothing auto-closing
on staleness alone. Their preference — point warden route gaps at those windows and
the two registers agree without a shared mechanism — is better than a joint tool.
blocker_stale_days() now maps lane risk onto those windows. A flat 14 would have
been wrong in both directions: too aggressive for a low-risk pointer, and it treated
an admin PAT lane the same as one.
ungraded takes the shortest window, not the longest. ADR-0007 makes an absent grade
a defect and ADR-0008 makes a grade cover the whole path, so a lane nobody graded is
the one whose blocker deserves least trust. Encoding that as 60 days would have been
the fail-open default this repo already fixed once.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 90-day --stale-days default on `warden route gaps` was not a loose threshold,
it was an inert one: the delegation register was created 2026-08-15, so it could
not have fired before November. It was inherited from the catalog pointer cadence
and applied to a claim with a completely different half-life.
Two changes. DEFAULT_BLOCKER_STALE_DAYS = 14 now governs interim blockers, while
DEFAULT_STALE_DAYS = 90 keeps governing pointer freshness -- "is this the right
owner and page" is quarterly, "has the owner answered" is not. 14 is calibrated
on blockers that actually cost something: ten days for the secrets-engine lanes,
one for RISK-F-0001, roughly fifty for FLEX-WP-0007.
The second change matters more. `reviewed` records when someone touched an entry,
which is indistinguishable from re-checking it -- six lanes read as freshly
reviewed today because I typed in them. `verified:` now says how the claim was
established, and asked-and-waiting explicitly does NOT count: that is the state
the secrets-engine blocker sat in for ten days while looking current. A lane in
that state is stale at zero days old, and key-cape-oidc-login proves it works.
8 of 14 interim lanes are honestly marked unverified rather than given a fresh
date they did not earn.
--fail-on-stale exits 3 for a cron or gate. No CI test on age: a date-triggered
failure breaks the build for whoever commits next instead of whoever owns the
blocker. The CI test is structural -- every interim lane must record how it was
verified -- so it fails on the commit that introduces the omission.

test_catalog_gaps_lists_only_interim asserted openbao-api-key was an interim
cover. It encoded the same classification the entry did, so it defended the
wrong answer rather than catching it -- the second time this session a test has
held a judgement still (see ADR-0008).
The staleness test added in T03 did its job on the first real change: it failed
the moment the catalog moved without the generated artifact being re-emitted.
