S1 Handoff Gate

make s1-handoff is the operator-facing gate from host substrate (S1) to the cluster layer (S2). It validates inventory and baseline contracts, requires a clean checkout, runs the applicable Goss profile for every selected host, and emits a metadata-only JSON receipt under reports/.

A passing receipt pins:

  • source revision and inventory digest
  • every selected host and its baseline profile
  • observed time and 24-hour default freshness boundary
  • per-host exit status
  • SHA-256 digests of the resulting TAP evidence

Any failed host fails the aggregate. A passing receipt without host evidence is invalid. make s1-handoff-dry-run validates local inputs but records status: not-run; it cannot authorize S2 handoff.

The current profiles are:

  • Railiance01: ufw-managed
  • CoulombCore: external-firewall, which verifies the declared iptables INPUT default-drop replacement control

The verification play installs or refreshes the Goss check surface before it runs. Treat the first run after source changes as an attended host change: review the rendered contract and access path first. The command does not run Terraform, change provider resources, rotate credentials, or converge the base role.

Receipts validate with:

python3 scripts/s1_receipt.py reports/s1-handoff-*.json

S2 should accept only status: pass receipts whose source and inventory match the intended handoff and whose fresh_until has not elapsed.
