# RPF-WP-0027 — KeyCape live Secret exposure recovery

## Goal

Coordinate a forward-only, value-safe rotation of every credential class in
the exposed `sso/keycape-config` bundle. Never reproduce or decode the exposed
payload and never treat repository access as live mutation authority.

## T01 — Contain and establish the recovery boundary

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "53f47272-92ab-563b-9d69-5eafee733e6b"
```

Accepted the KeyCape/NetKingdom incident reports, stopped payload inspection,
and routed custody through `warden route show openbao-api-key`. Metadata-only
preflight pinned Secret UID/resource version, Deployment generation/image, and
the public JWKS digest/kid. The legacy value-printing rotation helper is banned.

## T02 — Publish the governed bundle cutover

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3c55b1cd-8f6b-5a48-b416-18ab711954e3"
```

`docs/keycape-live-secret-exposure-recovery.md` defines owners, required
revision/window/operator receipts, private-file handling, one guarded bundle
apply, provider/consumer ordering, forward-only abort, positive/negative proof,
predecessor revocation, and sanitized evidence.

## T03 — Collect exact owner acknowledgements

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T03
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "714ae011-903d-55e2-ac47-801b8ef879d1"
```

KeyCape supplied source revision `93704fd2424503007c20b458b62a7f7d994bb288`,
post-rotation JWKS SHA-256
`c6faac5dfeef2453daf9cfc14671f62b535dd321befdf6014e3ee5c2cf1f1156`, and
rollout/predecessor evidence (messages `05b49688-76a8-4be9-a00d-95408c798697`
and `538046b9-2dbb-4704-b7b6-2dbf16c5e3bb`). NetKingdom pinned the value-safe
dependency and provider sequence at `c24d67b` (message
`71b1008a-7fd7-4500-85c6-e8893a6d80d4`). The persistent privacyIDEA
`lldap-coulomb` resolver still requires an attended provider-admin update, so
T04 remains blocked for that explicit follow-up. The digest-bound approval
template is published at
`docs/keycape-exposure-rotation-approval.example.json`; no additional Secret
apply is authorized by this receipt.

NetKingdom has now pinned the remaining attended resolver procedure at
`eec7007` (procedure checkout `f2e578c`, owner receipt
`45b236c8-052f-43d3-a472-44f8e9694da2`). It performs one resolver-only POST,
protected interactive inputs, boolean postchecks, replacement-success and
predecessor-denial evidence, and forward-only abort. T03 is ready for the
attended run; T04/T05 remain open until that run produces a sanitized receipt.

The operator completed the resolver-only update and received
`privacyIDEA resolver update: PASS`. Postchecks were not yet run; the operator
was instructed to stop rather than improvise. NetKingdom has been asked to
package the complete sequence as one receipt-producing command for the next
run.

The Railiance-side custody contract is drafted at
`docs/net-kingdom-credential-custody-contract.md`. It deliberately leaves the
OpenBao path and field names unfilled pending owner confirmation; the routing
lane remains unresolved and no credential fetch or retry is authorized.

## T04 — Execute the attended rotation

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T04
status: wait
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "28b31e57-7a76-5100-8a61-9aa87339c5d7"
```

Requires a fresh exact human GO, an at-most-30-minute window, named driver and
abort operator, approved revisions, provider access, private workspace cleanup,
and all T03 acknowledgements. No value may enter captured output.

## T05 — Prove predecessor denial and close

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T05
status: wait
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "9cb5fa67-012a-58cf-bafb-e7c7d4f9782d"
```

Verify replacement operation and predecessor rejection for the signing key,
LLDAP binding, Authelia client, and privacyIDEA token. Retain only safe
fingerprints, resource versions, public JWKS metadata, boolean results, rollout
status, timestamps, and cleanup receipts.

## T06 — Publish the Railiance/OpenBao custody handoff

```task
id: RPF-WP-0027-T06
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3b9748c4-2906-5ba7-9d34-0a7067a59283"
```

The platform/OpenBao owner must publish a non-secret receipt for both routing
lanes: canonical mount/path, field name, KV version semantics, least-privilege
policy and auth method, expiry/rotation/revocation semantics, and the approved
attended handoff identifier. Do not infer or invent any of these values. After
publication, update `docs/net-kingdom-credential-custody-contract.md`, ask
ops-warden to refresh lane resolvability, and pass only protected inputs to
NetKingdom's minimal resolver reconciliation flow.
