# WARDEN-WP-0025 — Forgejo admin PAT OpenBao lane

**Trigger:** the-custodian CCR request (msg `54125f84`) — establish OpenBao custody
for the Forgejo site-admin PAT at `platform/workloads/forgejo/forgejo-admin`.
Drivers: `ACTIVITY-WP-0020` weekly package prune and railiance-apps/platform tools
still using `/tmp/forgejo-tegwick-api-token` or `FORGEJO_ADMIN_TOKEN`.

**Boundary:** ops-warden holds no PAT; workstation OIDC fetch mirrors
`railiance-backup-offsite-lane` (CCR-2026-0004). Distinct from `forgejo-mailer`
(SMTP via ESO). Phase 1: no cluster ExternalSecret.

**Depends on:** platform-operator approval of CCR-2026-0006; attended PAT mint.
