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.
