Prepared in an isolated owner checkout under the user's explicit worker-agent
request. This worker has supervised local preparation scope only; no founder
credential approval, permanent repo-owner authority, deployment, or source-owner
consent is inferred. The custodian integration agent handles hub synchronization
after accepting the proposed owner workitem. No State Hub mutation is performed
from this isolated checkout.

## Independent consumer review

```task
id: REUSE-WP-0025-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "1f841e28-fc55-5b12-bb51-bb3291f17d8b"
```

Reviewed consumer INTENT, native authenticated acquisition, public API registration
fields, and stale-cache behavior. The deployed baseline is unsuitable for a new
private reader: registered auth_env/URL can route runtime credentials to arbitrary
hosts; urllib's default redirect handler also forwards Authorization. Review is
`changes_requested`; metadata consent does not authorize reader provisioning.
See docs/assessments/cust81-private-reader/owner-review-r1.md.

## Prepare native boundary and verification helper

```task
id: REUSE-WP-0025-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "a9e794f6-a894-52e6-bd93-4781e05c6a55"
```

Patch rejects authenticated cleartext URLs and all redirects, and requires an
operator-controlled exact env-to-URL allowlist before credential lookup. Receipt
helper invokes native fetch directly for all seven consented index/entry pairs,
checks exact hashes and entry schema, and never uses cached fallback. Fake
transport tests and local committed metadata validation are preparation evidence,
not live authenticated fetch receipts.

## Review, publish and verify deployed consumer

```task
id: REUSE-WP-0025-T03
status: wait
priority: high
blocked_on: message-from:railiance-apps
blocking_reason: "Approved rollout requested from railiance-apps (msg f8f142bc); prerequisite: operator creates reuse-surface-reader bot + PAT in OpenBao"
state_hub_task_id: "789bb918-4848-5bdf-bfd4-8ee42877addb"
```

Owner review and exact credential/rollout disposition remain pending. Platform/apps
must inventory every existing authenticated dynamic registration without reading
Secret values, migrate approved exact URLs, and deliver a reviewed image containing
the fix plus the exact reader allowlist. Then run helper inside the hub environment
with the owner-provided packets, verify all seven sources fresh, and hand a
sanitized receipt to the custodian for registration and final 70-capability audit.
No new PAT is delivered to the current baseline consumer.

2026-10-21: decision 81c8535a resolved by Bernd — approved (1) the native
boundary fix, (2A) a dedicated Forgejo machine user (e.g. `reuse-surface-reader`)
with read access to exactly the seven consented repos and a `read:repository`
PAT on its own OpenBao KV path, delivered via ESO as
`REUSE_SURFACE_FORGEJO_SOURCE_READ_TOKEN` and allowlisted to the 14 commit-pinned
URLs, and (3) the platform/apps rollout as described above. Remaining: create the
bot user and token (human/operator — agents do not handle the secret value), roll
out, run the helper, hand over the receipt. Follow-up: define how allowlist pins
are refreshed and re-approved when the source repos update their metadata.
Rollout requested from railiance-apps via hub message f8f142bc; T03 now waits
on that reply (image digest, Helm revision, sanitized helper receipt).
