The precedence ruling landed mid-session: INTENT.md governs, the sidecar is
derived, section 3 folds case so nobody re-spells anything, and standard_version
comes out of the declaration. Two asks land on ops-warden because layer.yaml is
the form seven repositories copied.
Not applied here. Both asks edit this repository's security-layer declaration --
and the estate's reference shape -- on the strength of an instruction delivered
in an inbox message. The change set, and the condition that it be verified at
gate-house@def0af2 rather than from the message text, are written down so the
mandated session does not have to reconstruct them.

A correction that only matters when someone finally wires the consume belongs on
the page, not in the thread that delivered it.

Five inbox items worked, none of which changed a credential value or moved a
secret.
whynot-design-npm-publish: field reverted npm_token -> NPM_AUTH_TOKEN and the
path confirmed, on railiance-platform's attended, read-only, no-value field
enumeration (their docs/evidence/2026-09-10-npm-lane-field-resolution.json).
Exactly one field is present at the governed path. The 2026-09-09 change was
adopted from a coordination message and would have failed at the WP-0037-T03
rotation. The ungoverned second location is recorded as an explicit non-lane,
not deleted and not tidied away.
pep-stance coverage: published figures were stale by eight lanes (unknown
18->20, not_applicable 12->15) while resolved stayed at 3 — the denominator
moved, the classification did not. Caught by the test that asserts the published
block equals what report_coverage.py measures. tests/test_workload_join.py held
the same stale counts; both now measure the same populations.
rapp-qonto-keycape-client: blocker character updated — authority exists and is
unexercised by owner decision ("not yet", offer open), which is not the same as
no authority existing. Reopen triggers are events, never elapsed time.
flex-auth -> access-engine rename (WARDEN-IN-0003): access-engine added to the
policy-check lane's keywords so routing resolves under both names from today.
owner_repo deliberately not flipped — policy.py sends it as resource.system on
every /v1/check, and FLEX-DEC-2026-013 keeps runtime names as flex-auth.
layer declaration: INTENT.md says Staff, layer.yaml says staff, section 11 does
not say which governs. Neither changed; gate-house holds the ruling. Position in
docs/layer-declaration-precedence.md, wait in WARDEN-WP-0034-T06, and a comment
in layer.yaml telling the next session not to "fix" it — the divergence is the
evidence the ruling is made against.

gate-house ruled the v0.8 assent round (GH-DEC-2026-011, net-kingdom@64394e9):
ask 1 declined, ask 2 adopted.
Ask 1's refusal is accepted without reservation and the reason is better than
the ask -- a sanctioned transitional fail_open is indistinguishable at runtime
from the stance the rule forbids, and would make the rule optional at the only
moment it costs anything.
Ask 2 gave §13.1 a Coverage column with this repo's figures as its first
entries. Since we asked for the column, we owe it accuracy:
scripts/report_coverage.py measures both populations from the artifacts the
runtime uses (reusing the workload-join build rather than re-deriving it), and
a test asserts pep-stance.yaml's published block equals what it measures.
A hand-counted number in a register that explicitly does not recompute it
decays silently, and a stale figure beside a marked cell is worse than the
blank the other four rows carry.
pep-stance.yaml marks the unknown cell inline as a declared gap -- assent, the
measured reason for not flipping, the declined ask, WARDEN-WP-0040 as route --
and a second test keeps it marked while it is fail_open, failing when it is
flipped. standard_version stays 0.7 because that is what binds; v0.8 is
proposed, so it gains standard_version_reviewed rather than pre-adopting.
Separately, gate-house corrected GH-DEC-2026-008: the claim/decision digest
comparison it originally required is unimplementable and a fail-closed
consumer obeying it would have denied permanently. We had never copied the
wording, so nothing to unwind -- but everything they have sent about this lane
was living in an inbox thread, a bad home for a correction that only matters
when someone finally wires the consume. Now wiki/ApprovalConsumption.md,
leading with "nothing is wired", carrying the corrected target and the
attribution gap that digest matching does not discharge.

railiance-platform answered the routing question (msg 7c7228ac): steps 1-2
are executed by the platform operator attended, through the governed
openbao-platform-admin-login lane with a unique metadata receipt path, under
founder_required attended OIDC via netkingdom role=platform-admin. Nothing
else in that repo carries write authority against platform/workloads/.
The blocker narrows again -- the AUTHORITY is answered, the ARTIFACT is not.
A two-custodian CAS rotation with a service restart is a distinct
version-guarded operation needing its own reviewed CCR, which is theirs to
write once an owner asks for the rotation. That question is now with
key-cape; ops-warden connected the two and did not ask on their behalf.
Their executable precedent for the identical two-custodian shape is cited so
a rapp-qonto rotation script is not built from a bare `bao kv patch` -- the
provider/consumer consistency reason key-cape gave when declining to ship a
wrapper, which railiance-platform endorsed unprompted.

`warden plan` scored needs by keyword overlap with no notion of what the
caller wanted to DO, so "generate a successor secret and CAS-write it to two
custodians" matched the lane that READS that path and inherited its
`autonomous` verdict -- answered with --out/--exec/--wrap.
Two counterparties reported it in two days. key-cape distrusted the output on
principle and was right to; railiance-platform, answering as the write
authority being wrongly bypassed, said plainly that `founder_required` is the
verdict it should have returned and that until it is fixed a plan result must
not stand in for the owner's answer.
A mutating need on a lane ops-warden does not permanently own can no longer
reach any branch returning `autonomous`: it becomes `founder_required` with
an approve act naming the write owner, or `unroutable` with a CCR stub when
the lane admits no rotation route. Commands carry no read transport either
way, which is the half that made the wrong verdict actionable.
The ownership test does the work a verb list cannot. SSH certificate
issuance is itself a mutating act, so `delegation.mode: permanent` -- not the
absence of a verb -- separates ops-warden's own front door from someone
else's custody. A regression asserts `warden sign` still proceeds; a guard
that refused our own lane would be worse than the defect it fixes.

Six inbound messages attended, three of them carrying real asks.
flex-auth FLEX-DEC-2026-004 answers WARDEN-WP-0034-T05's decision-lifetime
question: a decision lifetime shorter than the certificate TTL is meaningful,
but only as authority to ISSUE, never to USE an already-issued certificate.
The question had mistaken a decision lifetime for a credential lifetime. They
declined to move the §9.7.2 revocation residue to their side; that refusal is
right and the stance map is unchanged. T05 still waits on ops-mason and
railiance-infra.
WARDEN-WP-0039-T03 routed to flex-auth: is there an admitted contract for a
delegated credential read where caller and resource owner differ? Three
outcomes named as equally acceptable, including that there should be no such
contract and the interim proxy transport is itself the defect -- which would
shorten WP-0033 rather than block it. Two easy fixes ruled out in writing:
broadening the caller binding, and relabelling resource.system as ops-warden
so the binding matches. The second would make the audit trail assert we own
credentials we deliberately do not, by editing a field instead of making an
argument.
WARDEN-WP-0037: npm path routed to railiance-platform, catalog unchanged
pending their answer. secrets-engine refused to resolve it from a
coordination message and was right; asserting our own pointer is
authoritative because it is ours would route around that. The ask names a
location only, and flags that a `bao kv get` answer would be the 2026-07-16
disclosure vector on a risk: high lane.

secrets-engine corrected our claim (msg 15f0c0ca): `npm_token` is the KV
field on the whynot-design publish lane; `NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` is the environment
variable their publication-scope policy injects. Their doc lists the two as
separate rows and we had copied the env var in as the field name, so our
`fetch_command` named a field that does not exist -- `bao kv get
-field=NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` could only ever have failed.
This is ADR-0001's failure mode, not a typo: a pointer layer restating an
owner's procedure and getting it wrong. Corrected from the owner's statement
rather than re-derived here, and the catalog now records the distinction
inline so the env var does not get copied back in.
The path is a separate and still-open question. secrets-engine declined to
resolve it unilaterally -- which location backs the lane for reads is
railiance-platform's custody state -- so the path is unchanged and routed to
them rather than moved on a coordination message.

gate-house circulated security-layer-model v0.8, whose §6.4 obligation 3
makes our `unknown: fail_open` cell non-conformant, and asked to be argued
with rather than obeyed.
Finding 1 -- assent. They wrote the falsifier into GH-DEC-2026-009: a scope
genuinely unknown AND genuinely low-consequence, expected to be a §5.1
read-only diagnostic. We looked and do not have one. The stance map governs
`warden sign` -- a credential-issuing side effect -- so §5.1 does not reach
it and the argument stands. Being unclassifiable must not buy permissiveness.
Finding 2 -- adopting it today would be a global fail-closed flag in all but
name. Of four signing targets, zero resolve to a zone and three are
`unknown`, so the cell would fail closed on essentially every certificate
during a flex-auth outage -- including the SSH certificate needed to reach
the host and repair flex-auth. That is exactly ADR-0006's rejected
configuration reached by another route. Asked for a dated transition gated
on coverage, or failing that for §13.1 to record coverage alongside stance:
a row reading `unknown: fail_closed` while every target is unknown is
conformant and misleading.
Not flipping the cell. It is a proposed standard, 18 of our 18 unknown
lanes are unknown because another repo has not declared, and ADR-0009 rule 3
forbids closing that with inference -- a stricter stance is not a licence to
manufacture the membership that makes it survivable. WARDEN-WP-0040 records
the order: classify the continuity path, raise coverage by asking owners,
then supersede ADR-0009's unknown row.

flex-auth fixed enrichment so registry facts beat caller-supplied ones
(FLEX-DEC-2026-012) and asked each consumer to confirm the ceiling and
allowlist keys are actually declared -- the fix wins only where the registry
HAS a value, and a manifest omitting max_ttl_hours hands that ceiling back
to the caller.
Confirmed, and made durable rather than read once.
scripts/check_flex_auth_manifest_coverage.py audits both ways a ceiling
gets handed back: an actor with no manifest resource at all (warden sign
names ssh-cert:actor/<name> whether or not the snapshot was rebuilt --
an honour-system step in SCOPE.md), and a resource missing one of the
seven keys. A null is treated as absent, because for enrichment it is.
Also asserts the property their exploitability assessment rested on and
nothing here held: ops-warden sends no resource.attributes. It was true
when they read it, secrets-engine sends them on every request, and it was
one refactor from silently stopping being true.
Current state: no gap. 4 actors, 4 resources, all seven keys declared.

key-cape corrected two blockers that had stopped being true after our
2026-08-28 source-read:
- rapp-qonto-keycape-client: `keycape service-token` (2026-09-05) is the
native exchange the blocker recorded as absent, and `keycape verify-client`
(2026-09-08) is rotation step 3 as one command. Narrowed to steps 1-2 --
successor generation and the CAS write -- rather than cleared, as they
asked. rotation.automatable -> false so a future executable driver is not
told a lane with no admitted custody transport is drivable; the per-step
truth moves into the steps.
- key-cape-oidc-login: ownership ACCEPTED by key-cape, so verified moves from
asked-and-waiting to owner-confirmed. Lane stays interim -- acceptance
covers the identity half, while the fetch_command yields an OpenBao token
whose mount, role mapping and enforcement are not key-cape's.
Two tests pinned `key-cape-oidc-login` to sitting `asked-and-waiting`, so
answering the question broke them -- they failed on good news. Both now
assert the property instead: an unverified blocker is stale regardless of
date, over whatever lanes are in that state.
Verifying the routing answer against our own front door turned up a defect:
`warden plan` returns `autonomous` for a custody *write* and answers it with
read transports, because it has no read-versus-mutate intent. Recorded as
WARDEN-WP-0038 (proposed) -- the WP-0033-T06 shape, as a class this time.
