# Audit-core Whitehat E2 credential projection
This is the attended custody procedure for
`WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-01`. It creates two ordinary, tenant-scoped audit-core
sender identities and projects only `token-a` and `token-b` into the Whitehat
runner mount. It never returns credential values.
## Safety gates
- `project` is hard-gated to 18:00Z18:03Z on 2026-08-22. This leaves the
remainder of the approved 18:00Z18:15Z window for the bounded probe and
cleanup.
- Both audit-core identities carry `expires_at: 2026-08-22T18:15:00Z`, checked
by the receiver on every authentication.
- OpenBao stores the two values at separate engagement paths. The ephemeral ESO
policy can read only those paths; it cannot read the full sender registry.
- The generated Kubernetes Secret has exactly `token-a` and `token-b` and is
consumed only through the read-only volume declared by Whitehat.
- Cleanup removes identities by exact name, preserving every unrelated sender.
It deletes the two KV paths, ESO role/policy, ClusterSecretStore,
ExternalSecret, and mounted Secret, then reloads audit-core if required.
## Attended sequence
Keep the operator terminal attached from projection through cleanup. The
platform-admin token file must remain outside Git with mode `0600`.
```bash
python3 scripts/audit-core-whitehat-e2-credentials.py preflight
# Run only after 18:00Z and no later than 18:03Z.
python3 scripts/audit-core-whitehat-e2-credentials.py project \
--confirm WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-01:attended
```
After projection succeeds, Whitehat may apply its approved runner contract and
execute only the invocation recorded in
`whitehat-security/engagements/runtime/WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-01-invocation.md`.
Stop immediately on an engagement abort threshold.
Whether the probe succeeds, fails, or aborts, clean up before 18:15Z:
```bash
python3 scripts/audit-core-whitehat-e2-credentials.py cleanup \
--confirm WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-01:attended
```
The command output is a value-safe JSON receipt. Record that receipt, the
audit-core rollout/readiness result, the Whitehat runner result, and the
absence of the mounted Secret. Never record a bearer, Secret data, sender
registry payload, or OpenBao response body.
## Abort path
If `project` fails after changing custody, it invokes the same exact cleanup
automatically. If the process itself is interrupted, run `cleanup` immediately;
it is idempotent and is allowed before or after the projection window. If
audit-core does not return 1/1 Ready after registry cleanup, do not re-add the
temporary identities—keep the Whitehat Secret absent and escalate the target
recovery separately.
