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
