title: Policy Nexus Forgejo private-source read token lane
status: active
created: '2026-08-31'
updated: '2026-08-31'
requester:
  agent: codex
  reason: PNEX-WP-0004 makes scheduled Policy Nexus candidate builds fetch exact archives
    from private owner repositories. Anonymous Forgejo API/archive reads return 404,
    while the existing Forgejo admin PAT carries package, repository-write, and admin
    authority that the publication workflow must not receive.

    comment: 'Approved 2026-08-31: dedicated restricted Forgejo service identity;
      PAT scope exactly read:repository; all-repository repo.code read team with all
      non-code units disabled; no package, repository-write, organization-admin, instance-admin,
      cluster, or deployment authority; attended secret custody plus positive and
      negative verification required.'

    reviewer: platform operator and Policy Nexus owner (chat approval)
    decision: binding_confirmed
    comment: Confirmed reuse of the net-kingdom-admins OIDC group binding with only
      workload-kv-read-policy-nexus-forgejo-source attached and a 15-minute TTL.
target:
  domain: infotech
  tenant: coulomb
  workload: policy-nexus-actions
  environment: production
  purpose: Hold a dedicated Forgejo PAT with read:repository only and deliver it as
    the FORGEJO_SOURCE_TOKEN secret to the policy-nexus Actions workflow.

    Delivery is attended and must not expose the value in command output, process
    arguments, Git, State Hub, or workflow logs.
  forgejo_identity: policy-nexus-source
  forgejo_team: policy-nexus-source-readers
  forgejo_team_contract: Restricted service user; organization team permission read,
    includes_all_repositories true, can_create_org_repo false, repo.code read, every
    non-code unit none. PAT scope exactly read:repository.
risk:
  classification: high
  notes:
  - The PAT scope is exactly read:repository; no package, repository-write, organization-admin,
    user-write, cluster, or deployment authority.
  - REGISTRY_TOKEN remains a separate package-write credential and is never reused
    for source acquisition.
  - The workflow binds the authorization header to https://forgejo.coulomb.social
    and refuses cross-origin forwarding.
  - The existing Forgejo admin PAT is not an acceptable fallback.
verification:
  positive:
  - A scheduled or dispatched policy-nexus workflow resolves every declared private
    repository revision and exact archive, then publishes a candidate.
  - The token metadata reports read:repository and no broader scopes without printing
    the token value.
  negative:
  - The PAT cannot create, update, or delete repository content.
  - The PAT cannot write packages or administer users, organizations, hooks, runners,
    Actions secrets, or the Forgejo instance.
  - A default or unrelated OpenBao identity cannot read the KV data path.
  - Removing FORGEJO_SOURCE_TOKEN makes the workflow fail before source fetch.
  activation_conditions:
  - Platform operator and Policy Nexus owner approve this CCR.
  - A dedicated service identity and read:repository-only PAT are created in an attended
    Forgejo session.
  - The OpenBao policy/auth path and non-secret metadata are reviewed before apply.
  - The PAT is transferred directly into OpenBao and the repository Actions secret
    without logs, chat, Git, State Hub, or persistent temp files.
  - Positive and negative scope tests and one workflow run are recorded.

      field; agent callers are limited to sanctioned exec, out, or wrap transports.
    - 'The complete ops-warden suite passed: 406 selected tests, including the generated
      high-risk data-path boundary.'
lifecycle:
  deactivate: Remove the repository Actions secret, revoke the Forgejo PAT, disable
    the OpenBao access path, and leave scheduled publication failing closed.
  rotate: Mint a replacement read:repository-only PAT, update OpenBao and the Actions
    secret through attended custody, pass one candidate build, then revoke the predecessor.
  compromised: Remove the Actions secret and revoke the PAT immediately, inspect private
    repository read activity, rotate through the approved lane, and record a bounded
    incident follow-up.
