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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# ops-warden → secrets-engine Routing Contract
|
|
|
|
ops-warden issues **SSH certificates only**. Every other credential need (API
|
|
keys, provider tokens, DB passwords, npm publish tokens) routes to
|
|
**secrets-engine**, which is OpenBao-backed. ops-warden must never request, hold,
|
|
cache, or vend a raw secret value. A route result is a **pointer**, not a key.
|
|
|
|
## What ops-warden calls
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
secrets-engine route <catalog-id> --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What it returns (the contract)
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"catalog_id": "whynot-design-npm-publish",
|
|
"owner": "whynot-design",
|
|
"stage": "prod",
|
|
"decision_status": "resolved",
|
|
"decision_ref": "whynot-design-npm-publish",
|
|
"review_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/decisions/<id>",
|
|
"metadata_applied": true,
|
|
"value_present": true,
|
|
"ready": true,
|
|
"next_command": "secrets-engine exec --catalog whynot-design-npm-publish -- <command...>",
|
|
"missing": ""
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Field | Meaning |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `decision_status` | `resolved`/`approved` => approved; `missing`/`pending` => not yet |
|
|
| `metadata_applied` | OpenBao ACL policy + approle exist for the lane |
|
|
| `value_present` | the secret value has been provisioned (boolean only — value never read) |
|
|
| `ready` | approved **and** applied **and** provisioned |
|
|
| `next_command` | the single safe command the caller should run next |
|
|
| `missing` | the one human/provisioning step still outstanding |
|
|
|
|
## Guarantees
|
|
|
|
- **No value crosses this boundary.** `route` reports a boolean `value_present`,
|
|
derived from a metadata/presence check — it never reads the secret.
|
|
- **Actionable when not ready.** If a lane is unapproved, unapplied, or
|
|
unprovisioned, `next_command` + `missing` tell the caller exactly what to do.
|
|
- **Idempotent / read-only.** `route` performs no mutation.
|
|
|
|
## whynot-design retry flow
|
|
|
|
1. whynot-design CI needs a publish token → asks ops-warden.
|
|
2. ops-warden runs `secrets-engine route whynot-design-npm-publish --json`.
|
|
3. If `ready=false`, it surfaces `missing` + `next_command` to the human (e.g.
|
|
"needs approved decision" or "needs provisioning").
|
|
4. Once `ready=true`, the workload runs
|
|
`secrets-engine exec --catalog whynot-design-npm-publish -- npm publish`.
|
|
|
|
## Anti-patterns (forbidden)
|
|
|
|
- ops-warden `POST /messages/` asking for `NPM_TOKEN` / `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`.
|
|
- Caching `value_present` as if it were the value.
|
|
- Inventing `warden secret` / `warden bao` — they do not exist.
