      grants, secret delivery and database/backup contracts. Availability describes
      the delivery form, not production acceptance. Package ownership is split to
      rapp repos; caches and object services are demand-led.'

# Secret custody and platform data services

OpenBao policy/custody, consumer grants, secret delivery and database/backup contracts.

## Reuse boundary

Package ownership is split to rapp repos; caches and object services are demand-led.

## Supported use cases

- U04: Protected operation obtains and consumes exact human approval before its side effect
- U05: Operator provisions and delivers a scoped workload credential through the approved owner lane
- U07: Owner inventories, rotates, revokes and detects exposure of credentials
- U10: Operator recovers identity, custody or data with independently held recovery material
- U13: Platform owner deploys and rolls back a workload with explicit substrate and custody bindings

## Evidence and integration

- [docs/openbao.md](../../docs/openbao.md)

Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
