Load pep-stance.yaml as the live unreachable-engine gate and record named
stance fields on privileged evidence. Classify evidence, queue load-bearing
records in a local outbox, and add heartbeat/drain commands that never sit
on a mutation path. Publish proposed SSH-CA and secret-use evidence
contracts without adding an OpenBao SSH-CA write.
T02 (access-engine decision records) and T06 (no standing credential) stay
wait on external endpoints.

Replace the gate-house review note with this repository's own declaration:
INTENT.md frontmatter, layer.yaml, and a published PEP stance map. SCOPE.md
and agent boundary docs now match that layer. The review under history/
identifies the implementation remainder; SECRETS-WP-0008 is the follow-on
workplan. SECRETS-IN-0001 is closed.
The layer is not contested. Catalog "custody" is a finding: OpenBao owns
custody, this engine owns the lifecycle API over it. SSH-CA signing is
accepted as a proposed engine API and declined as a Staff lane.

- SECRETS-WP-0004: scoped warden-sign OpenBao token lane for ops-warden, to
unblock FLEX-WP-0007 T4 joint smoke. First auth-capability (non-KV) lane and
first lane touching production OpenBao (bao.coulomb.social).
- SCOPE.md: add the standard sections flagged by the repo scope review (Relevant
When, Not Relevant When, How It Fits, Terminology, Related / Overlapping,
Provided Capabilities with fenced capability blocks); refresh Current State to
reflect the delivered MVP.

Implements SECRETS-WP-0002 end to end as a uv-managed Python package:
- catalog: non-secret lane registry + strict validator (build/test/prod)
- stage roles + OpenBao ACL policies; guards refuse wildcards, sys/, identity/,
admin names, and cross-stage paths before any backend call
- plan/apply: dry-run-first, idempotent policy + approle apply, decision-gated
- decisions: State Hub lookup with local-fixture fallback; non-secret evidence
to JSONL + hub progress, scrubbed of any value
- provision/verify: mode-0600 file import + generated test values; positive/
negative checks that never print the value
- exec delivery: `exec --catalog ... -- npm publish` injects the token via a
temp .npmrc for the child only, cleaned up on exit/failure/interrupt
- ops-warden routing contract + hardening backlog docs
- 34 tests incl. live OpenBao integration; scripts/demo-e2e.sh runs the full
chain against a throwaway bao dev server
