Add the warden-sign auth-capability lane, AppRole handoff, verification guards, docs, and tests.
Point the whynot-design pilot at the canonical decision and add the real publish closeout preflight/runbook.
Token scope is now bound to package maturity, gated on netkingdom's own maturity:
- maturity-build -> gitea-wide, maturity-test -> org-wide, maturity-prod -> repo-scoped
(scope narrows as stakes rise; broad tokens only for low-stakes build artifacts)
- the graduated table is DORMANT until netkingdom reaches production grade; until
then every lane clamps to repo-scope, injected as NPM_AUTH_TOKEN (fail-safe)
- token env-var name signals blast radius: NPM_AUTH_TOKEN (repo default),
NPM_AUTH_COULOMB_TOKEN (org), NPM_AUTH_GITEA_TOKEN (gitea), NPM_AUTH_WHYNOT_TOKEN
(npm scope, defined but unused), NPM_AUTH_WHYNOTDESIGN (explicit repo)
netkingdom is at maturity-build today, so whynot-design resolves to repo-scope /
NPM_AUTH_TOKEN. Flip netkingdom_maturity to maturity-prod to activate graduation.
- policies/netkingdom-publication-scope.yaml: the policy data + gate
- publication_policy.py: load + resolve (clamp/active, env naming, override)
- exec delivery injects under the resolved env-var name (was fixed SE_NPM_TOKEN)
- catalog lane carries delivery_config.npm.maturity
- new CLI: `secrets-engine policy publication <lane>`
- docs/publication-scope-policy.md; tests for clamp, graduation, naming, override

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
