Once a case of an implemented type is accepted and ops-mason has materialized its structure (`MASON-WP-0010`), ops-warden carries out the remaining steps. These are the owners' declared entry points, run on the authentication path the type defines, followed by the type's verification. Today ops-warden routes needs and, for `exec_capable` lanes, proxies fetches as the caller. It does not yet know about cases, and each new integration ends with a founder running a hand-written script (for example the proposed KEY-WP-0038-T02 rollout). This plan gives ops-warden the follow-through role, without widening what it may do: each step still runs under its owner's entry point and the caller's identity. ## Tasks ```task id: WARDEN-WP-0044-T01 status: done depends_on: [NK-WP-0048-T03] priority: high state_hub_task_id: "ef0920fc-418e-52cb-acff-9a5c0c728bf5" ``` ### T01 — Define the type's follow-through section Propose the `follow_through` part of the SecurityCaseType schema together with net-kingdom. For each step it names the owner entry point, `warden_executes`, the auth method and lane, whether an attended human login is unavoidable (with the type's justification), and the verification command. Write it for the first type, `oidc-browser-relying-party`, covering key-cape client registration, custody minting and LLDAP group membership. 2026-10-08: NK-WP-0048-T03/T04 landed with a drafted section. Review is in `history/2026-10-08-oidc-rp-follow-through-review.md`. It requires three changes before T02: a per-step `lane`, a narrow `warden_executes`, and `value_handling`. It also lists four refinements. This task is done when net-kingdom acknowledges the review (NK-WP-0048-T05). 2026-10-09: R4 was withdrawn in favour of ops-mason's per-case `{consuming_service}-keycape-client`, with the entry body templated in the type (R4′, see the addendum in the review). 2026-10-09: the revised 1.0 type and canon now carry R1–R3, R4′, R5–R7. `warden case check-type ` (`src/warden/case_type.py`, tests in `tests/test_case_type.py`) checks a type's follow-through mechanically: the live type is schema-conformant, with one attended session (`key-cape-oidc-login`). It is not yet plannable, because two lanes are not in the catalog: `identity-provisioner-groups` (net-kingdom) and `keycape-client-secret-generate` (railiance-platform). These gate T02, not T01. T01 still closes on net-kingdom's acknowledgement (NK-WP-0048-T05). 2026-10-09: ops-warden cannot add `identity-provisioner-groups` as the type declares it. The provisioner accepts only user-engine's runtime token and admits only user-engine pods, so no caller-identity path exists. R8 (review addendum) asks net-kingdom either to move `ensure-groups` into the existing attended session (recommended) or to give the provisioner an operator credential. `keycape-client-secret-generate` needs a generate-in-custody entry point from railiance-platform, and the broker does not have one yet. Both were sent to their owners. 2026-10-09: done. net-kingdom took R8 option 1, so `ensure-groups` runs attended in the `register-client` session and `identity-provisioner-groups` is dropped (net-kingdom `0e86f95`). The founder acknowledged the type with memo r4 (hub decision `e418263e`, NK-WP-0048-T05 done). ```task id: WARDEN-WP-0044-T02 status: done depends_on: [WARDEN-WP-0044-T01] priority: high state_hub_task_id: "5f68c991-f490-58f8-a121-92f74073d272" ``` ### T02 — Plan a case run `warden case plan ` checks that the case is accepted and materialized, resolves each step to its catalog entry and entry point, and prints the run: which steps warden executes, which run as the attended caller, what the verification is. No secret values; no execution. Tests: refuse an unaccepted or unmaterialized case; refuse a step whose catalog entry is missing or not reviewed; show attended steps explicitly. 2026-10-09: done. `warden case plan [--type] [--json]` (`src/warden/case_plan.py`, 14 tests in `tests/test_case_plan.py`). It refuses: - a case that is not `materialized`, or has no acceptance record - a type that is mismatched or not acknowledged - any `case check-type` finding, including a missing or unreviewed lane - undeclared, type-fixed or secret-sensitivity parameters - a placeholder the case does not set, or an unsupported `when` It fills type defaults (`issuer`), evaluates ` == ` conditions, renders owner, entry point, auth and ready_check, groups attended steps per lane, and lists the applicable verification. The live Forgejo case is correctly refused: it is `accepted`, not materialized. A materialized copy, with a stand-in lane for `keycape-client-secret-generate`, renders six steps: two attended steps plus `register-client` in one `key-cape-oidc-login` session, one warden step (`mint-secret`), and two owner steps. Seven checks follow. Observation for net-kingdom (not blocking): `bind-env` runs before `register-client`, in type order. Its entry carries a literal `KEYCAPE__CLIENT_SECRET`, which is not a `{param}` placeholder, so it reaches the plan unrendered. 2026-10-09 follow-up: - **Format specs.** `_render` supports net-kingdom's `{param:env}` spec (upper case, `-` as `_`, the same as `keycape-client.py env_name`) and refuses any other spec or `!conversion`. - **Case reference.** The plan prints `case-ref: @sha256:` over the case file's exact bytes. This is the reference proposed to railiance-platform for `credential.py generate --case-ref` (RPF-WP-0054-T01); the broker re-derives it from the file. - 18 tests now. ```task id: WARDEN-WP-0044-T03 status: progress depends_on: [WARDEN-WP-0044-T02, MASON-WP-0010-T03] blocking_reason: "Local durable execution kernel and injected failure harness implemented. Native acceptance still requires authenticated owner machine descriptors/adapters, actual Forgejo materialization receipt, contained session integration, ordered verification and first native run." priority: high state_hub_task_id: "bcbf6c91-2c04-5c16-ae8c-5d6c06fd6b89" ``` ### T03 — Run and verify a case `warden case run ` executes the plan. Owner entry points run through the existing proxy as the caller; steps that need an attended login use the existing contained login envelope (silent command, session revoked afterwards), grouped into as few attended sessions as possible. Then it runs the type's verification and writes a receipt without values. `warden case rollback` reverses exactly this case's steps. Acceptance: the Forgejo reference case (NK-WP-0048-T06) reaches `live` through this path, with no case-specific script. 2026-10-17: original-intent lookup/context interface for NK-WP-0048-T15, source and synthetic tests only. `src/warden/case_run.py`: `Executor.run` writes an `OriginalIntent` (schema `warden.case.original-intent.v1`: the dispatched run Invocation — attempt, step, owner, target, actor, principal, lane, all six pins, tenant, realm — plus admitted adapter source) in the same SQLite transaction as the pre-dispatch journal row. `Journal.original_intent(binding, current, source)` returns it after restart and refuses on a missing record or any pins/source/step/owner/target/actor/principal/lane/tenant/realm mismatch, before any journal write, so the step stays uncertain. An adapter's `reconcile_original(ReconcileContext(original, attempt))` receives the original intent separately from the new reconcile attempt. This is Warden's record of what it dispatched, not owner created-only provenance. Current Executor.admit leaves tenant/realm empty; the reserved coordinates establish no admitted provenance. Owner descriptors/adapters, contained session integration, Forgejo materialization and the native run remain open. 2026-10-17 source consistency follow-through: retained the additive intents table and reconcile_original callback and fixed four reproduced local defects: original actor mismatch, payload/SQL attempt-ID mismatch, orphan intent without its matching original running receipt, and arbitrary nonmetadata values accepted by the original-intent serializer. Exact bounded field validation, duplicate-free bounded decode and save-time intent/invocation/running-state equality now preserve the original receipt linkage before owner lookup. No new context store, native verifier, trust root, adapter activation or authority migration was introduced. The actual canonical focused kernel and new consistency suite passes 54 checks; owner-installed Ruff check/format passes. The existing generated-data/synthetic owner fixture and a distinct interpreter prove source correspondence/refusal, not independent native custody or creation. Earlier comparison probes and failed preparation are retained. Current caller and fresh session/grant revocation checks remain required; original owner payload/revocation, exact native readback and created-only provenance still need independent authenticated owner admission. No JSON/SQL context, unknown tenant/realm, changed run-sheet or legacy missing intent supplies recovery, replay or undo authority. T03 remains progress and all native acceptance gates/statuses/dependencies/UUIDs remain unchanged. Evidence: Custodian original-context-compare-r2 and original-context-owner-followthrough-r3 under docs/changes/netkingdom-target-2026-10-17/; publication/projection is separate. Agreed with railiance-platform (RPF-WP-0054-T01, 2026-10-09): - `mint-secret` runs `credential.py generate --grant keycape/client-secret-generate --client-id --case-ref --case-file ` as the caller's child process. The broker re-derives the case-ref and checks status and client_id. - warden refuses that step when `WARDEN_AGENT_ID` is set. 2026-10-10: railiance-platform implemented the command (RPF-WP-0054-T03). It is catalogued as draft `keycape-client-secret-generate`, with `exec_owner` railiance-platform and `exec_capable: false`. `warden case check-type` now reports the lane as LANE-UNREVIEWED rather than LANE-MISSING. Before it can be activated: - the founder binds the issuer policy to the operator OIDC role - key-cape confirms the secret format - the RPF-WP-0054-T05 probe passes 2026-10-10 (later): - **Broker lane.** The issuer role is bound (CCR-2026-0043) and the T05 probe passed (railiance-platform `21b8af3`). Only key-cape's format confirmation is left. The playbook now includes the issuer-role login, a 15m token with unlimited uses that `warden case run` must group with the attended session. - **Env spec.** net-kingdom adopted `{client_id:env}` as a 1.0 patch (`9a9b8e3`). The plan renders `KEYCAPE_FORGEJO_CLIENT_SECRET`. - **Forgejo case.** Rendered and built by ops-mason. It is not yet `materialized`: MASON-WP-0010-T03 waits on the railiance-platform CCRs and their founder apply. 2026-10-10: `keycape-client-secret-generate` activated on railiance-platform's go-ahead (message 20973a9c) after key-cape confirmed the format (4e0213b3). `warden case check-type` on the live type now reports `plannable=True`. The only thing T03 still waits on is the Forgejo case reaching `materialized` (MASON-WP-0010-T03). 2026-10-10: net-kingdom moved the type to 1.1 (`e2174ce`) and re-pinned the Forgejo case. 1.1 adds the verification `consumer-enforces-groups` and requires the hand-over to enforce `access_groups`. `check-type` on 1.1 reports `plannable=True`, and a materialized copy renders six steps and the new check. The case-ref digest covers the whole case file, including `status`, so it changes when the case becomes `materialized`. `warden case run` therefore takes it from the file at run time, and the broker re-derives it from the same file. ```task id: WARDEN-WP-0044-T04 status: wait depends_on: [WARDEN-WP-0044-T03] blocking_reason: "Catalog integration follows a proven run." priority: medium state_hub_task_id: "4a0fa4a7-5ca9-518a-ab92-a79a5e2cf93e" ``` ### T04 — Catalog entries from types Let a type contribute reviewed catalog entries once, so that every case of that type routes without a new catalog edit. Cases add parameter values, not routes. `warden route find` should be able to answer "which SecurityCaseType covers this need?" before anyone builds by hand. 2026-10-10 consolidation source prototype (not an accepted owner adapter API): `src/warden/case_receipt_state.py` provides a pure immutable receipt reducer, with exact case/type/adapter/catalog/acceptance/run-sheet pins, running intent before dispatch, uncertain recovery after a lost result, no success replay, explicit retry-safe failed-before-change retry and created-only reverse undo. It executes nothing and accepts no command output. The caller must durably persist running before any future side effect; storage/authenticated owner receipts/live adapters are not implemented. Focused offline tests cover changed pins, lost receipts, retry/refusal, uncertain rollback and shared-object preservation. Source proposal: `docs/security-case-execution-proposal.md`. T03 remains open: typed owner execution/receipt contracts require review, the Forgejo structural materialization needs owner receipts, and CLI dispatch, contained sessions, native verification and provenance remain unimplemented. There is a circularity to resolve with net-kingdom/ops-mason: materialization cannot require mint-secret if mint-secret is itself a follow-through step whose planning requires materialized. No case status is changed by this prototype. 2026-10-11: the exact execution-design memo version1 has confirmed native human acceptance (approval e46b149b-ec3c-4b3b-98a7-dcb4934448ca). The approved proposal bytes remain unchanged. `src/warden/case_run.py` now implements a closed v1 local execution seam, independent admission/evidence callbacks, private transactional SQLite receipt storage, process locking, running-before-dispatch, crash recovery to uncertainty, explicit safe retry, separately required broker-grant and parent-session revocation proofs, native owner reconciliation and created-only reverse rollback. Thirty-seven kernel tests and fourteen reducer tests pass; ruff checks pass. See `docs/security-case-execution-kernel-v1.md` for exact scope and receipt provenance. No installed native adapter or live CLI execution is claimed. Current prose types stay plan-only; acknowledged descriptor/type machine seams and authenticated owner/caller receipts are still required. T03 progresses for implementation but cannot finish before ordered native Forgejo acceptance. 2026-10-16 source preparation (isolated checkout; no native acceptance): T03's browser parameter mismatch now has a producer-validator-backed projection in `case_inputs.py`, explicitly configured on the real Executor. Exact 1.1/1.2 parameter definitions and all four reviewed producer modules are pinned; full case validation admits reviewed security-sensitive metadata while unknown/fixed/secret inputs and type/producer drift refuse. Only the reviewed descriptor target reaches the owner callback; no parameter journal payload is added. Actual Executor/producer tests cover positive versions and refusal/containment paths. Acknowledged machine descriptors, authenticated owner evidence, real Forgejo materialization and contained native sessions remain mandatory and unimplemented; T03 stays progress, T04 stays wait. No type or case status changed. 2026-10-16 producer source refresh: independently reviewed NetKingdom `015694ee414c802dc2ef1fa0120dfed610086e69` optional descriptor-map repair. Only the validator/evidence source pins change; exact parameter and transitive source identity remain enforced. Actual canonical producer, Executor and reducer suite passes 87 checks, including 14 new malformed-map integration cases; all four missing/changed modules still refuse. Review: `docs/reviews/2026-10-16-browser-producer-pin-refresh.md`. No adapter attestation, native acceptance, credential use or privileged dispatch. T03 remains progress.
