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Also cleared the inbox that hid this: 9 stale unread, all superseded by shipped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
held a different record for the same file — ADR-010's same-filename,
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.

The remote row pointed at 127.0.0.1:18000, a reverse tunnel back to the
workstation. On railiance01 the State Hub runs in the cluster on that same
machine, so the request left the box and came back to reach a local service.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three fixes, the first of which is my own botched edit from an hour ago.
1. The "six delivery modes" claim was never actually removed. I ran a str.replace
with no assertion on the result, it matched nothing, and the print said "ok".
The wrong claim sat in all seven lanes while I told secrets-engine it was
fixed. This edit asserts 5/1/1 and fails loudly otherwise.
2. Five lanes ACCEPTED (SECRETS-WP-0006, decision ae676382). The blocker now
records that secrets-engine holds the entry and that the interim proxy retires
on approved native verification in T05 -- not on acceptance. Retiring early
would drop the cover before the replacement is proven.
3. Two lanes REFUSED, and both refusals are right:
- key-cape-oidc-login: intended_owner corrected secrets-engine -> key-cape.
Login and identity-token issuance were never secrets-engine's. Not yet asked
of key-cape, and the record says so.
- openbao-api-key: not a delegable lane at all -- a <domain>/<workload>/<bundle>
routing template, not one secret lane, so there is no front door to own.
interim -> native with railiance-platform named: OpenBao is itself the front
door and this entry is a pointer to it, never an interim cover. It should
not have been inflating the interim count.

Routed, not absorbed. It is an identity and issuance question about a principal
authenticating to OpenBao, which is key-cape's. secrets-engine drew the same
boundary at us an hour ago over key-cape-oidc-login and we agreed with them.
Named zone-engine as interested and user-engine as explicitly not involved, so
neither is concluded by inference. Asked for accept or refuse; a refusal with a
pointer is an equally good answer.

railiance-platform asked for a generated list to consume instead of hand-
maintaining agent-high-risk-boundary. Hand-maintaining it is what let the two
lists drift for four lanes in RISK-F-0009.
19 high-risk lanes, 14 concrete data paths, 5 without a single KV address listed
separately so absence does not read as omission. Carries catalog_revision and a
dirty flag. fields is null where unestablished, never a one-element guess.
The header states plainly that this is an input and not a policy: railiance-
platform owns the deny set and may deny more, less, or dispute a grade. ADR-0002
survives the handoff.
Two CI tests guard staleness, because a consumer applies this to a live control.
Note the immediate consequence of T02: 2 uncovered against a policy they closed
to 0 yesterday.

secrets-engine reviewed our catalog metadata while drafting their five entries
and graded issue-core-ingestion-api-key and reuse-surface-hub-write-token high.
We had both as standard, and had deliberately regraded them DOWN on 2026-08-19.
They are right. Both paths carry a second credential our grade never looked at --
GITEA_BACKEND_TOKEN (CCR-2026-0002, a deliberate field-set decision) and a
dual-consumer webhook HMAC (CCR-2026-0005). Neither is recovered by rotating the
credential the lane is named after.
The defect is structural: we graded the lane by its headline field, but a read
returns every field at the path. Worse, the evidence was already in the CCRs we
cite as authoritative -- not missing, unread -- and a test asserted the wrong
answer, so a correct first-pass grade got overruled by it.
ADR-0008 records the rule: a grade covers every field its path discloses.
ADR-0007 is unchanged and still governs; this says what the grade is of.
Six of the remaining standard lanes have no KV path. Two have paths and no field
evidence; per ADR-0008 they are stated as unknown rather than assumed, and left
for operator-sanctioned grading.

secrets-engine accepted five interim lanes and drafted the entries itself rather
than wait for our contribution. Reviewing them turned up a defect in our own
grading model, which is now T02 and the most consequential item in the plan.
