The IN-0002 yaml fence was never closed, so IN-0003 was appended inside it and
fix-consistency wrote IN-0002's hub id under the IN-0003 heading. Fence closed,
id moved into its own block.

on T04 serving; CCR-2026-0003 is provenance only). 29cccf8a recorded against
SECRETS-WP-0008-T06, including the open tenant:coulomb vs tenant:platform
question for the service JWT, left for an owner session. railiance-clock's
review request opened as SECRETS-IN-0003. The intelligence-radar messages are
superseded by SECRETS-WP-0010-T03 (done 2026-09-16) and answered by pointer.

Verified against gate-house's committed ruling (decisions/decisions.md,
GH-DEC-2026-017) and amendments A9-A13, then ops-warden's reference change set
(a70f559, wiki/playbooks/netkingdom-layer-declaration.md). They agree.
layer.yaml: standard_version removed; derived: true and derived_from:
INTENT.md added; declared_by kept. INTENT.md frontmatter never carried
standard_version, but its standard: value was a version-pinned path; it is
de-versioned as the reference instance did. No layer value is re-spelled:
INTENT.md still says Engine and layer.yaml still says engine.
The checker changes in the same commit because it listed standard_version as
a required key: removing the field alone would have made a conforming
declaration exit 2 MALFORMED. It now reads INTENT.md as the governing form,
requires the derived marking, rejects a returning standard_version in either
form, checks both layer values against the closed four-token vocabulary
(Taxonomy included) after an ASCII fold, and reports a post-fold disagreement
between the forms as a finding rather than resolving it by precedence.
Tests assert the fold, not per-file spelling, and cover fold agreement, a
real disagreement, the closed vocabulary and a returning version. Full suite
430 passed.
role:, pep-stance.yaml and schema_version are untouched (not ruled). Still
open: where the removed version lives in a derived conformance record; asked
of gate-house by ops-warden (4220413a), followed rather than chosen here.
Closes the SECRETS-WP-0008 note that waited on the reference form.

Consumer-surface survey found exactly one live repository path, a local
checkout path in docs/approval-service-auth.md. Every other flex-auth string
is a runtime or contract name FLEX-DEC-2026-013 keeps. Held open until the
rename lands rather than documenting a path that does not exist yet.

ops-warden and railiance-platform asked, independently, which OpenBao location
`secrets-engine exec --catalog whynot-design-npm-publish` reads. Answered from
this repository's own code and catalog with no OpenBao read and no value.
It reads `secret/coulomb/whynot-design/npm/publish` — the legacy, ungoverned
duplicate. `_fetch_value` concatenates the catalog's `mount` and `path` with no
override or fallback, so the proven pilot published from the duplicate and the
lowercase `npm_token` field is the field there. ops-warden's front door names
this repository as exec_owner, so it currently routes callers at a path no CCR
covers.
Recorded in SECRETS-WP-0006 with what a move to the governed lane requires, and
flagged that the duplicate must not be destroyed until the lane moves. Whether
the two locations hold the same value is a value comparison and is not answered
here.
Also records GH-DEC-2026-017 against SECRETS-WP-0008: INTENT.md governs, the
sidecar is derived, the vocabulary is case-insensitive so nothing is re-spelled,
and standard_version comes out of layer.yaml once ops-warden updates the
reference form this repository copied.

SCOPE.md is the capability boundary other agents read, and three of its
claims had gone stale — one of them describing checks that were deliberately
removed months of decisions ago.
- It said the engine "builds and validates the flex-auth ActionAuthorization
profile", including State Hub authority and an independently required
distinct-approver threshold. All three are wrong: ActionAuthorization is
deferred and never ratified (FLEX-DEC-2026-006) and nothing validates it,
the State Hub authority constant was removed because State Hub is a read
model with no runtime approval authority, and the approver threshold is
folded into valid_now by the issuer rather than re-checked here. Replaced
with the actual two-artifact split from GH-DEC-2026-005, including the
reduction in what this engine verifies alone, stated rather than buried.
- It said the access-engine serving endpoint does not exist. It does, and
step 2 is proven against it. Step 1 is the unserved half.
- The layer-model table row repeated the ActionAuthorization framing.
Also records the structured-correspondence rule and the tenant requirement
in the capability list, and adds responder authentication to Not Implemented
— it is a real gap in what this engine can promise, not merely flex-auth's
open work.

SECRETS-WP-0008-T02 still said access-engine Check was unreachable. That is
no longer true and the note read as current, so it is corrected rather than
left to mislead: Check is reachable through the owner-documented access
path and step 2 is proved against decision:0f9c98f14545c42d, a real v2
allow. Two defects that only a real request could expose -- the missing
tenant and the unsatisfiable digest join -- are fixed, so the task's own
acceptance line about failing closed on wrong digest and expired lifetime is
now exercised against a genuine envelope rather than a fixture.
What remains for that task is step 1 alone: approval-engine must serve the
claim endpoint, and APPROVAL-WP-0002-T03 is still wait with no deployed base
URL. One external dependency, not the two previously named.
SECRETS-WP-0006-T06: asked railiance-platform which KV location backs the
whynot-design npm publish lane (hub message 546403e4). The question is
narrowed to the path, since the endpoint agrees and ops-warden's
NPM_AUTH_TOKEN claim resolved here as a category error -- that is the
resolved injection env var, not a KV field name. Catalog left unchanged:
rewriting a proven production lane pointer from an inbox claim is the
unverified custody mutation this task exists to prevent.

The live proof in 03c0569 showed validate_decision_envelope rejecting every
real allow. The evaluator normalizes before hashing -- the request tenant is
copied onto subject and resource, and a registry hit copies type, tenant and
selected attributes onto the refs -- so binding.request_digest covers
material we never sent. Byte-equality against our unenriched request was
unsatisfiable, not merely mismatched.
THE RULE WAS ALREADY PUBLISHED. flex-auth's canonical-request-digest.md
section "Normalization" states the enrichment and tells consumers what to do
instead: compare structured binding fields to the proposed action, treat
request_digest as the evaluator's statement of what it hashed, and recompute
independently over the tuple the binding carries. I raised this with them as
an unpublished gap and asked them to pick between three shapes; it was in
their contract already and the answer was the first of the three. Nothing
was blocked on them, and this follows the published rule rather than one I
inferred.
- _require_binding_corresponds: everything we proposed must survive
unchanged -- tenant, action, context, subject.id/type,
resource.id/type/system, and every attribute we sent.
- Enrichment may add only type, tenant, attributes. Any other added field is
refused, and an enriched tenant must be the request tenant, so a
cross-tenant binding cannot arrive wearing our request's clothes.
- request_digest is still verified, now against binding_tuple(binding) for
self-consistency rather than against material we never sent.
- The envelope's top-level subject/resource get the same rule; they are
enriched too.
Proved against the artifact: the real decision:0f9c98f14545c42d now
validates, and the unrefreshed envelope is refused on lifetime -- reaching
the lifetime check at all is the evidence the binding checks pass on a real
decision. Negatives cover a restated resource.attributes.stage, a foreign
subject.tenant, and an unexpected enrichment field.

Adoption asked for by flex-auth (FLEX-WP-0021-T05) and glas-harness
(GLAS-WP-0015), plus the first real decision this engine has obtained from
the deployed pin -- which found a defect the fixtures could not.
ACCESS PATH. require_supported_pdp_address refuses in-cluster Service names
and any non-loopback host. This is no longer a unilateral call: the owner
path is documented as loopback kubectl port-forward over the authenticated
Kubernetes API, which is what authenticates the responder transitively
(FLEX-DEC-2026-010). A Service name from a workstation does not fail, it
resolves through the DNS search suffix to an unrelated public host, and
since decision records carry no signature, a responder knowing the
published package and version can return an allow that passes every check
we make. Fail-closed protects against a PDP that is absent, not one that
lies. The guard runs before the token is read, so a misdirected request
cannot leak it; a test pins that ordering.
LIVE PROOF. Minted a 10-minute TokenRequest token (audience flex-auth, SA
secrets-engine/secrets-engine, mode 0600 outside the worktree, shredded
after), forwarded to the named pod, and sent a real CheckRequest for
glas-claude-agent-dev-anthropic. Result: allow, catalog_lane_policy_matched,
served by v2 (sha256:bd11c5fe...) -- so the redeploy flex-auth flagged as
outstanding has landed and the pin no longer serves the tenant-blind v1.
Our tenant fix is confirmed against the real service: binding.tenant is
tenant:platform.
THE DEFECT IT FOUND. The evaluator enriches from its registry before
hashing -- subject gains attributes and tenant, resource gains tenant --
so binding.request_digest is over material we never sent and cannot
reproduce. validate_decision_envelope rejects every real allow.
Every replay test passes because _request_from() rebuilds the request out
of the binding, i.e. the enriched form: a self-consistent fake agreeing
with itself, which hid this through three rounds of digest work. Third
time a real artifact has beaten a fake in this integration.
NOT FIXED, DELIBERATELY. Rejecting a valid allow is wrong in the safe
direction. Which fields may be enriched is flex-auth's contract to publish;
inferring it means accepting a binding that differs from our proposal in a
way we decided was benign -- the fail-open shape GH-DEC-2026-008 rejected
for vocabularies and FLEX-DEC-2026-007 for digests. Raised with them.
Tenant question closed by operator decision 5ed3fb35: tenant:platform
exactly, and service_auth.TENANT stays tenant:coulomb because the two
identity layers are to remain distinct. Declining to author that mapping
was right -- the answer was neither reading offered.
