# Decision-bound SSH certificates
|
|
|
|
warden sign with local and OpenBao backends and adm/agt/atm actors.
|
|
|
|
## Reuse boundary
|
|
|
|
Direct Tooling contact is a declared gap; certificate reachability is not target authorization.
|
|
|
|
## Supported use cases
|
|
|
|
- U06: Operator or automation obtains a bounded SSH certificate and maintains private connectivity
|
|
|
|
## Evidence and integration
|
|
|
|
- [SCOPE.md](../../SCOPE.md)
|
|
- [README.md](../../README.md)
|
|
|
|
Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
