Terminal state re-verified cold: DONE @00:18Z, M1+M2 PASS stand, no standing VETO (both '## VETO' hits
read, not counted: one CLEARED + its clearance record), all findings CLOSED, HEAD==origin/main, no inbox.
Live host re-probed: /etc/cc-ci HEAD==d11f8f5 unmoved since #54, 07fc6d4 not an ancestor, object present
-> B-redfix-5 negative is real, not vacuous. Declined to re-run M1/M2 on an unmoved tree.
Prefix is 'chore(' not 'review(' ON PURPOSE: no verdict landed this wake. The Builder's #63 journal shows
my last review( commit fired a watchdog handoff ping that resolved to a no-op; a third false ping would
degrade 'review(' as a signal. Loop STOPPED.
Adversary (a22c384) confirmed both findings but counted 3061 blobs vs my 3099. Root-caused:
(a) later commits add blobs (host now 3104); (b) --batch-all-objects counts 49 unreachable
objects rev-list omits (reachable-only = 3026); (c) 'git clone /local/path' hardlinks the whole
object store, so local clones inherit unreachable objects while remote clones do not -- hence
the Adversary's lower, and for a mirror question more apt, number.
All four scans agree on password=2 and token=0. STATUS now asserts those invariants and a
'wc -l > 100' sanity floor instead of an exact total, so the documented repro cannot misfire.
Operator-scope, no gate impact, no VETO; DONE stands.

Closes the gap in Adversary wake #57's break-it probe, which covered dashboard/reports/Drone
logs but not the public git mirror -- the surface B-redfix-8 is about.
- password sha16 3fcea78925015fc9 -> 2 blobs, 2 commits, both ancestors of origin/main.
Scrubbing 2ad38f5 alone would leave e64d8e7 serving the live credential. STATUS corrected.
- oauth2 token sha16 9c44a1aea2ecb389 -> 0/3099 blobs. Filesystem-only exposure.
- Probe hygiene: awk is absent here; awk-based blob lists give a vacuous 0. Positive
control (password must return 2) is now mandatory and documented.

Adversary wake #55 conceded my insteadOf falsification but corrected me twice; verified both first-hand:
1. "Production CI does not regenerate / manual-* = hand-run" WRONG. run_id()=manual-<pid> for any non-Drone
run (run_recipe_ci.py:318-319); nightly-sweep runs run_recipe_ci.py outside Drone with CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1
(nightly_sweep.py:88). Sweep regenerates the exposed copies WEEKLY (freshest 07-05 03:37-59 = sweep fire).
2. Census missed a 2nd credential (grep keyed on autonomic-bot: cannot see oauth2:). Full per-file census:
78 files carry the password, 117 a live oauth2 token, 62 both, 133 distinct under /var/lib. Token is LIVE
+ PUSH-capable (api/v1/user->200 autonomic-bot/64) and is what recipe-mirror-sync.sh:39 pushes with —
falsifies my own B-redfix-8 "small blast radius" note.
STATUS steps 3-4 rewritten (two creds, weekly regen, combined remedy + chmod 0750); B-redfix-8/9 corrected.
DONE stands; no VETO; no DoD item touched; rotation of BOTH secrets remains operator-only.

Adversary wake #53/#54 reaffirm DONE + no VETO (no gate impact), but both correct STATUS text (Builder-owned):
1. A-redfix-1 "sole copy" withdrawn: 78 world-readable cred-bearing .git/config, sentinel 3fcea78925015fc9.
Exposure confirmed; Adversary's /root/.gitconfig insteadOf root cause FALSIFIED three ways (clone does not
persist insteadOf rewrites — tested, git 2.47.2; /etc/cc-ci config predates .gitconfig by 2wk; live
fetch_recipe uses a non-persisted http.extraHeader token since 9b33fdf, so 0/215 numeric runs carry it).
Real generator: CCCI_SKIP_FETCH copytree of credentialed /root/.abra/recipes (0700) into 0755 run tree.
STATUS steps 3-4 rewritten; filed B-redfix-9 (deferred). Falsification sent via ADVERSARY-INBOX.md.
2. Sweep mechanism: runs deployed /etc/cc-ci (main @ d11f8f5), not origin/main. Verified first-hand.
DONE stands; no VETO; no DoD item touched.

Adversary confirmed all three claims and failed to refute "strip userinfo is safe" three ways:
no push through /etc/cc-ci origin; secrets submodule anonymously fetchable so submodule update
survives; nothing auto-pulls the checkout (/root/.git-credentials inert, no helper wired).
Folded those three into STATUS step 3 so the operator sees why the command is safe. The submodule
angle was an inference on my part, not a probe -- the Adversary actually tested it. Recorded in
JOURNAL.
Incidental (not a finding): cc-ci-secrets.git is public but SOPS-encrypted ciphertext.
STATUS/JOURNAL text only. No code. ## DONE stands; M1+M2 PASS stand; no gate reopens.
Adversary wake #45 established A-redfix-1 and B-redfix-8 are the same credential. Re-derived
every claim first-hand before writing it (the A-redfix-2 lesson), incl. value identity:
.git/config userinfo and .testenv GITEA_PASSWORD both hash to 3fcea78925015fc9; control
sha256("")=e3b0c44298fc1c14 rules out the empty-input probe artifact.
Rotation does NOT scrub /etc/cc-ci/.git/config (644 root:root, manual clone per
configuration.nix:7, not nix-generated). Remedy is now a 3-step operator procedure that
strips the userinfo rather than re-embedding the rotated password (re-embedding would
recreate the exposure). Verified the strip is safe: anonymous ls-remote succeeds rc=0.
Blast radius recorded: GITEA_PASSWORD is consumed only by bootstrap-drone-oauth.sh;
recipe-mirror-sync.sh uses an OAuth token. No reason to delay rotation.
STATUS text only. No code. ## DONE stands; M1+M2 PASS stand; no gate reopens.
Independently re-verified every leg against the node before editing (I adopted
A-redfix-2's probes wholesale at 8276ecd and inherited its error; not repeating that).
- Delete both 'no re-trigger' probes: they grep the app name, but the timer is
named nightly-sweep, so they return empty while a timer drives it weekly.
Sound probe greps the callee: git grep warm_reconcile -- runner/ nix/
- Replace 'recovery is manual' / 'heals on reboot' with the weekly DOWN/UP
oscillation, and record that it is SILENT (roll_warm_infra discards the rc;
the raise is upstream of every write_alert).
- Re-anchor the merge precondition: 'slot clean at merge time' -> 'never deploy
07fc6d4'. A git merge executes nothing; b5f2b10 ships enrollment + fix together,
so the precondition is self-maintaining.
- Line refs pinned to b5f2b10 coordinates (were main's, two lines off).
- BACKLOG B-redfix-5: severity corrected, remedy sketch extended to rc propagation.
Not armed and not self-arming: origin/main (the tree the sweep runs) has
WARM_CANONICAL = False. Nothing reopens; DONE stands, no VETO, b5f2b10 unchanged.
Inbox consumed.

The DONE block listed F-redfix-1/2/3/4 as CLOSED but never mentioned the three
A-redfix-* findings, leaving them dangling for an operator reading only DONE.
All three are non-VETO and outside the DoD (Adversary wake #43, 1057657).

Both claims re-derived independently before editing; both of mine were wrong.
A-redfix-2: "no code path redeploys it" is FALSE. abra.undeploy() leaves the app
.env, so the next reconcile() takes the fresh-deploy branch (:471-479), which
redeploys and never calls warmsnap. Self-healing is blocked by the absence of a
re-trigger (warm-keycloak.service: Type=oneshot, RemainAfterExit=true, no timer,
no Restart=), so it heals on reboot/nixos-rebuild and RE-WEDGES on the next due
upgrade while the foreign snapshot/meta.json remains. Operator remediation is to
DELETE the foreign snapshot/, not to redeploy keycloak. Failure presents as an
intermittent flake, not a permanent outage.
A-redfix-3: /srv/cc-ci is a symlink to /srv/cc-ci-orch, so the two main.go paths
are the same inode (3254604, links=1). The "present in both clones" premise is
void and proves nothing about the file's origin (still unexplained; inert).
Docs-only. No DoD item, gate, or verdict affected: ## DONE stands, M1 + M2 PASS
stand, merge target b5f2b10 unchanged, no VETO. The B-redfix-5 merge precondition
is unchanged and still correct.
Probed the two operator-facing claims in the Builder's new commits (cbeceea, d5dc547). No inbox, no gate.
A-redfix-2 (LOW-MED) — "The wedge does not self-heal ... no code path redeploys it. Recovery is manual."
Conclusion right, mechanism wrong. abra.undeploy() does not remove the app .env, so the next reconcile()
sees current_version resolvable + is_deployed False and takes the fresh-deploy branch
(warm_reconcile.py:471-479), which redeploys and NEVER calls warmsnap -- the guard is unreachable there.
What actually blocks self-healing is the lack of a re-trigger: warm-keycloak.service is Type=oneshot with
no timer and no Restart=. So it heals on the next reboot / nixos-rebuild switch, then RE-WEDGES on the next
due upgrade because the foreign snapshot/meta.json is still in the slot. The failure therefore presents as
an intermittent flake, and the correct remediation is removing the foreign snapshot/, not redeploying
keycloak. Asked the Builder to correct two sentences; the precondition itself is unchanged and still right.
A-redfix-3 (INFO) — "main.go present in both clones => written outside git". Evidence void: /srv/cc-ci is a
SYMLINK to /srv/cc-ci-orch, so both paths are the same inode (2049:3254604, links=1). One file, one clone.
Risk bounded: 281-byte hello-world net/http listener, no go.mod, go not installed, nothing on :8080, in no
commit, unreferenced, inert. Concur with leaving it in place.
No VETO. DONE stands, M1+M2 PASS stand, merge target b5f2b10 unchanged. B-redfix-8 unchanged.

Not created by this phase; in no commit on any ref; present in both clones with

Adversary (75f6655) independently re-derived the upgrade-path site and CONFIRMED the widening of B-redfix-5:
"my wake-#41 framing was too narrow; do not revert". Nothing reverted.
It supplied three facts I had not established. Re-derived each from source rather than accepting them:
- reconcile()'s only try is :520-525; sole caller main():556 does not catch -> a raise at :514/:536 escapes
to SystemExit with keycloak already undeployed. Nothing redeploys it; recovery is MANUAL.
- WARM_CANONICAL = True at 07fc6d4 -> the pre-fix canonical seed is a real arming action, not hypothetical.
- WARM_DOMAINS == {keycloak}; keycloak is the only stateful:True SPECS entry (traefik is False) -> blast
radius is exactly one warm unit.
Folded the two operator-actionable ones into STATUS (does-not-self-heal; bounded to keycloak) and tightened
the pre-fix-seed line from hypothetical to fact. The bound also stops the precondition reading as a
fleet-wide hazard.
No DoD item touched. M1+M2 PASS stand, ## DONE stands, no VETO. Docs-only.

Builder asked me to confirm or refute that the _assert_slot_not_foreign x B-redfix-5 composition reaches
the UPGRADE path, not only the rollback path I named. Re-derived cold from source at b5f2b10; confirmed.
- snapshot() calls the guard FIRST (warmsnap.py:158, before _assert_undeployed) -> raises before docker.
- warm_reconcile.py:511-514 (undeploy -> wait_undeployed -> snapshot) is OUTSIDE the try/except at :520-525,
which wraps only deploy_version + wait_healthy. Neither abra.undeploy site (:512, :534) is covered.
- No enclosing try in reconcile(); sole caller main():556 does not catch -> SystemExit, no redeploy. The
app stays undeployed.
- Site (a) is strictly more reachable than site (b): snapshot() runs on EVERY stateful auto-upgrade;
restore() only after an unhealthy release. Builder's "no unhealthy release needed" is correct.
- Arming condition is real: keycloak has WARM_CANONICAL=True at 07fc6d4 too, so one pre-fix seed writes
domain=warm-canon-keycloak into the bare-recipe slot and arms BOTH sites post-merge.
- Blast radius exactly one unit: keycloak is the only WARM_DOMAINS member and the only stateful SPEC.
Probe with the reconciler's exact args: site (a) raises SnapshotError before docker (CONFIRMED); an
unclaimed slot passes the guard (why it's unreachable on cc-ci today); site (b) dies on docker at
_assert_undeployed (:205) upstream of the guard (:209) — independently reproducing the Builder's probe
caveat, same class as the e3b0c44298fc1c14 empty-input tell.
Accept the correction that b5f2b10 ADDS a raise path rather than only closing one; what makes it
unreachable today is node state, not F-redfix-4's closure.
Verdict: do not revert the widening. Precondition stands and covers both sites. Merge target b5f2b10
unchanged. M1+M2 PASS stand, DONE stands, no VETO. B-redfix-5 deferred (now correctly scoped);
B-redfix-8 unchanged. ADVERSARY-INBOX consumed + deleted.

Non-gate side-channel. Flags one correction to the wake-#41 verdict: the new guard is reachable from
snapshot() at warm_reconcile.py:512-514 (normal upgrade path), not only restore() at :534-536 (rollback).
Asks for an independent re-derivation before the operator relies on the STATUS merge precondition, and
records the docker-absent probe artifact that made restore() look unguarded.

Acting on the Adversary's wake-#41 verdict (3131e39), which CONFIRMED the merge guidance but left a merge
precondition only in REVIEW-redfix.md — Adversary-owned, and not what an operator reads before merging.
Moved it into STATUS (operator-facing, mine), re-deriving every leg from source at b5f2b10 rather than
trusting the verdict.
- STATUS: MERGE PRECONDITION for b5f2b10, with the exact ssh check + expected output, and the corrected
reason it is unreachable today (live slot has no meta.json — NOT "F-redfix-4 is closed").
- Sharpening the Adversary missed: the new guard is reached from snapshot() at warm_reconcile.py:514 as
well as restore() at :536. Line :512-514 is undeploy -> wait_undeployed -> snapshot, also outside the
try/except, and it is on the NORMAL upgrade path — it fires on every stateful auto-upgrade, not only on
rollback. B-redfix-5 as filed named only the rollback site.
- BACKLOG + DEFERRED: widen B-redfix-5 to both sites (a) :512-514 and (b) :534-536; correct the claim that
F-redfix-4 "supplied the only reachable trigger and that is now closed" — b5f2b10 ADDS a raise path
(_assert_slot_not_foreign at warmsnap.py:158 and :209).
Verified: guard present in both callers at b5f2b10; reconciler structure at :512-514 / :520-525 / :534-537;
cc-ci live slot holds last_good only (no snapshot/, no meta.json, no canon-* slot). Probe with a seeded
foreign meta raises on both paths; absent meta and self-consistent meta both pass.

Broke the pattern of re-probing B-redfix-8 (wakes #37-40, operator-only, adds nothing) and instead
attacked the artefact the operator acts on: "merge b5f2b10, NOT 07fc6d4".
Applied this phase's own lesson — verifying a fix's stated invariant beats verifying its shas, and
mutation-testing is what makes a "+N tests" claim meaningful.
- Lineage: b5f2b10 = 07fc6d4 + exactly the F-redfix-4 fix; fix symbols absent at 07fc6d4.
- Reproduced the pre-fix defect cold (stdlib only; no pytest/awk/curl on orchestrator, no python3 on
cc-ci): both canonical + live reconciler resolved to <root>/keycloak/snapshot, no guard.
- Invariants GREEN at b5f2b10. Mutation A (canonical_ns -> bare recipe) and Mutation B (guard -> no-op)
each go RED on exactly the right invariant; mutation A leaves the non-provider invariant PASS, so the
probe is specific, not globally fragile.
- Guard is wired into both destructive paths, ahead of the destructive work. Drove the real F-redfix-4
scenario through the PUBLIC api: refused, live known-good intact.
- Disbelieved then confirmed two Builder claims: "10 new tests" (exactly 10, coverage matches) and
"no migration on cc-ci" (keycloak slot holds only last_good, no canon-* slot) — the latter is
load-bearing because the fix ADDS a way for restore() to raise, and B-redfix-5 leaves the rollback
restore() outside the try/except. Unreachable today; recorded as a merge precondition.
- B-redfix-5 re-verified accurate at b5f2b10 (warm_reconcile.py:533-537).
- "Zero blast radius": 8/8 sampled canonicals on cc-ci record domain=warm-<recipe>, guard passes.
Verdict: merge guidance CONFIRMED. No new finding. M1+M2 PASS stand, DONE stands, no VETO.
B-redfix-8 unchanged (OPEN/HIGH/operator-rotation-only, not re-probed by design); B-redfix-5 deferred.

Builder's 697959d responds to wake #39 by hardening STATUS's B-redfix-8 close-criteria against the false-close hazard I filed. Re-verified all four quantities from a cold start: empty-input tell e3b0c44298fc1c14; .testenv absent on cc-ci (python3 also absent there); rotation sentinel 3fcea78925015fc9 STILL UNROTATED; public 2ad38f5 blob HTTP 200/33408/sha256 1994fd8d matching git object, with the live GITEA_PASSWORD present VERBATIM in the public body (value-level). The hardening is correct and worthwhile. No new finding, no verdict change. M1+M2 PASS stand, DONE stands, no VETO. B-redfix-8 stays OPEN/HIGH/operator-rotation-only.

Wake #39 (2a61c09) carried no VETO/finding/inbox and nothing to advance, but it did surface a
false-close hazard in STATUS's own operator instructions: "A different digest => rotated => close
B-redfix-8" licensed closing an open HIGH public-credential exposure on a broken probe.
/srv/cc-ci/.testenv lives on the ORCHESTRATOR, not cc-ci. Run over `ssh cc-ci` the sentinel command
hashes empty input and prints sha256("")[:16] = e3b0c44298fc1c14 — a different digest with no rotation.
STATUS now states where to run the probe, names e3b0c44298fc1c14 as the empty-input tell that must NOT
close the item, and disambiguates the three conflated digests: 3fcea78925015fc9 = sha256(credential
value) = the only rotation sentinel; 1994fd8d… = sha256(whole served blob), immutable; e3b0c44298fc1c14
= sha256(empty), a broken probe. Also records the exposure is now confirmed at VALUE level (the live
push-capable password appears verbatim in the public body), stronger than prior blob-equality.
Verified independently before writing: printf '' | sha256sum => e3b0c442…; ssh cc-ci ls .testenv =>
absent; orchestrator sentinel => 3fcea78925015fc9 (still UNROTATED).
Terminal condition unchanged: ## DONE, M1+M2 PASS, no VETO. B-redfix-8 stays OPEN/HIGH/operator-only.
