reuse-surface Hub Write Token — OpenBao Custody

Date: 2026-07-07 (promoted active 2026-07-07)
Workplan: RAILIANCE-WP-0011-T03 · CCR-2026-0005
Catalog: reuse-surface-hub-write-token (active — path live, ESO delivering)

Bearer token for authenticated writes to the production federation hub at https://reuse.coulomb.social (POST /v1/repos, reuse-surface hub register). ops-warden does not vend this token — custody belongs to railiance-platform (OpenBao) and the reuse-surface workload via External Secrets.

Field	Value

Promotion gate (met 2026-07-07): path seeded, ExternalSecret reuse/reuse-surface-runtime SecretSynced, positive hub + webhook verification and negative default-policy denial recorded in CCR-2026-0005.

Break-glass (cluster read)

If OpenBao is unreachable, operators with Railiance01 kubeconfig may read the materialized Secret (ESO cache):

kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config-hosteurope get secret reuse-surface-env -n reuse \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.REUSE_SURFACE_TOKEN}' | base64 -d

Never paste values into chat, State Hub, workplans, or Git.

Worker checklist

1. Confirm OpenBao reachability (you act as yourself; ops-warden adds no credential):

   bao kv metadata get platform/workloads/reuse/reuse-surface/runtime-secrets
   

2. Export hub write token for a shell session (streams to your terminal):

   export REUSE_SURFACE_URL=https://reuse.coulomb.social
   export REUSE_SURFACE_TOKEN=$(
     bao kv get -field=REUSE_SURFACE_TOKEN \
       platform/workloads/reuse/reuse-surface/runtime-secrets
   )
   

3. Or proxy via warden access (same bao kv get, audited metadata only):

   warden route show reuse-surface-hub-write-token --json
   warden access reuse-surface-hub-write-token --fetch
   

4. Webhook HMAC (same path, second field — must match Forgejo org webhook):

   bao kv get -field=REUSE_SURFACE_FORGEJO_WEBHOOK_SECRET \
     platform/workloads/reuse/reuse-surface/runtime-secrets
   

   After rotation: railiance-apps make reuse-forgejo-webhook.

5. Register a repo after publish-check passes:

   reuse-surface hub status
   reuse-surface hub register --repo <slug> \
     --url <forgejo-raw-capabilities-yaml-url> \
     --domain <domain>
   

6. Verify federated index picked up the new source:

   curl -fsS "$REUSE_SURFACE_URL/v1/federated" | jq '.sources | map(.repo) | index("<slug>")'
   

Rotation: railiance-platform/docs/reuse-surface-runtime-secrets-rotation-runbook.md (OpenBao patch → ESO force-sync → hub rollout → make reuse-forgejo-webhook when the webhook HMAC changes → make reuse-webhook-smoke). Lifecycle: railiance-platform/docs/credential-lane-lifecycle-runbook.md (CCR-2026-0005).
