The mechanism behind RISK-F-0003 was sharper than the finding described.
is_high_risk was risk == "high", but risk was never absent at the model layer:
RouteEntry.risk carried a dataclass default of "standard". An omitted grade was
not unhandled, it was actively resolved to the permissive value — fail-open by
construction, which is why nothing ever warned.
The default is now "ungraded" and is_high_risk returns true for anything outside
an explicit low-risk vocabulary (standard / low / accepted). An omitted grade and
an unrecognised grade from a newer catalog both resolve to high, so the boundary
fails safe in both directions rather than reading an unknown value as permission.
test_every_repo_catalog_lane_is_explicitly_graded is the CI gate that stops an
ungraded lane being committed, per ADR-0007: absence is not a grade.
"accepted" is in the low-risk vocabulary deliberately, ready for the
maturity-derived default — an experimental-context lane may be explicitly
accepted, which is a graded decision rather than an omission.

Every execution position is now explicit. Catalog entries carry
delegation.mode (permanent / native / interim) with intended owner and
blocker. warden route gaps lists the interim set. Promotion requires
the ownership question. Doctrine lives in AccessRouting.md; the
register was published to the named owner repos.
Ship posture-aware access planning: organization_posture=build (axis C),
catalog freshness warnings, warden plan verdicts, localhost founder desk,
and playbook/agent guidance that retire /tmp file-drop patterns.
Compose route catalog + handoff rather than a second routing layer.
secrets-engine (SECRETS-WP-0003) shipped a native secret-exec front door
(`secrets-engine route/exec`, decision e6381a56) and asked ops-warden to route to it.
Bernd's call: route-primary, proxy-fallback — surface the secrets-engine exec as the
primary path for owned lanes, keep `warden access --exec` as a transparent fallback.
T1 — RouteEntry gains exec_owner/exec_command/pointer_command (+ has_native_exec),
screened for secret material like the other handoff fields. whynot-design-npm-publish
points its native exec at secrets-engine. `warden access` renders Primary (secrets-engine
exec) + Fallback (warden proxy); route/access JSON gain the fields and a native-exec-aware
next_action. Tests added; 217 pass, lint clean.
T2 — credential-routing.md adds secrets-engine as the secret-exec owner (route primary,
proxy fallback); SCOPE adds secrets-engine to Related Repos and records the npm lane as
production-exercised (@whynot/design@0.4.0); playbook leads with secrets-engine exec and
fixes the fallback one-liner (--field NPM_AUTH_TOKEN, --no-policy) per whynot-design.

railiance-platform finished provisioning the whynot-design npm publish lane
(CCR-2026-0001, commit 8f617fc: active, readiness=ready, resolvable=true, positive
fetch + negative denial verified). First concrete warden access --fetch-resolvable
non-SSH lane — end-to-end proof of the WP-0014 conduit + WP-0017 discoverability.
T1 — catalog entry whynot-design-npm-publish (active, exec_capable) with the
owner-confirmed zero-placeholder handoff: path platform/workloads/coulomb/whynot-design/
npm-publish (the superseded whynot-design/whynot-design/... form is not used), field
NPM_AUTH_TOKEN, OIDC role whynot-design-workload-kv-read, policy + flex-auth ref. Added
wiki/playbooks/whynot-design-npm-publish.md.
T2 — RouteEntry.resolvable (active + exec_capable + no <…> placeholder), surfaced in
route/access --json; Catalog.find resolves an exact catalog-id first so
`warden access whynot-design-npm-publish` is deterministic. Tests added; fixed a
no-match test query that substring-collided (no ⊂ whynot). 213 pass, lint clean.
T3 — notified whynot-design (zero-placeholder command + resolvable gate + path
correction) and confirmed activation to railiance-platform. Sibling lanes stay draft
per their deferral.

issue-core flagged the installed `warden` lacked the `route` subcommand. Two causes:
1. uv reused a cached wheel (version stayed 0.1.0) so the installed warden.cli was
stale. Documented the cache-clean + --reinstall fix in ADHOC-2026-06-27.
2. Even rebuilt, route/access/policy were unusable outside a checkout because the
routing catalog + posture descriptors live in registry/ at repo root, outside the
package. Bundle registry/ into the wheel (hatch force-include -> warden/_registry)
and add a packaged-data fallback in find_catalog_path / find_posture_path after the
repo walk, so source runs still prefer the repo's registry/ (single source of truth).
Verified `warden route list` / `warden policy list` work from /tmp. 200 tests, lint clean.

Adds a lane: secret|login field to RouteEntry. The login lane is an
interactive auth bootstrap: it skips the caller-auth precheck (no token
yet — that's the point) and the secret-read gate (it establishes the
identity the gate needs), runs the owner's login command interactively
as the caller via inherited stdio, and rejects --exec. The token stays
in the caller's own store; warden never captures it (G2 holds). Audited
as action: login. key-cape-oidc-login populated as the reference login
entry. Advisory proxy hint updated now that T3 has shipped.
172 passed, lint clean.

Adds optional assist-layer fields (auth_method, path_template,
fetch_command, exec_capable, policy_ref) to RouteEntry, parsed and
secret-screened in catalog.py. Handoff fields are templates/pointers
only — _assert_no_secret_material rejects known token prefixes and
high-entropy runs, and exec_capable requires a fetch_command. The
openbao-api-key entry is populated as the reference example (covers the
coulomb_social npm shape).

Add platform-secret playbooks for issue-core ingestion, OpenRouter llm-connect,
object-storage STS, and database dynamic credentials. Extend the routing catalog
with draft entries and implement `warden route list --stale` for quarterly drift
review. Document the review cadence in AccessRouting and mark the workplan finished.
Add a read-only `warden route` command group (list/show/find) that reads
registry/routing/catalog.yaml and tells a worker which subsystem owns a need
and which wiki/canon doc to follow. ops-warden still executes exactly one lane
(SSH); routed entries return a pointer and never call any subsystem.
- src/warden/routing/: models.py + catalog.py loader; enforces the
no-double-source rule (non-SSH entries with steps/cert_command fail validation),
dup-id and schema checks.
- route list (active-only unless --all, --tag), route show (SSH appends steps +
cert pattern; routed ends with "next action on <owner> — see <wiki_ref>"),
route find (keyword ranking, --json).
- tests/test_routing.py: load/validation, find ranking, CLI JSON shapes, plus a
drift guard (every wiki_ref anchor resolves; every entry has a reviewed date).
- Docs: wiki/AccessRouting.md CLI section, README quick reference, SCOPE A3 -> A4.
