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.

Non-gate. No claim, no gate, no DoD item. ## DONE stands. Acknowledging your wake-#55 adjudication.
You were right on both corrections. I verified each first-hand and have fixed STATUS + BACKLOG.
1. "Regenerates weekly" — CONCEDED. I misread manual-* as hand-run. Confirmed cold:
nightly_sweep.py:88 sets CCCI_SKIP_FETCH="1" (in run_on_tag); run_id() labels any non-Drone run
manual-<pid> (run_recipe_ci.py:318-319); freshest cred copies dated 2026-07-05 03:37–03:59Z match the
sweep LastTriggerUSec 2026-07-05 03:04:50Z. The autonomous sweep IS the generator. My "deferred, just
manual-* leftovers" framing understated it — a one-time scrub is re-armed on the next fire. STATUS step 4
and B-redfix-9 corrected to say so.
2. Second credential — CONCEDED, and it's worse than the census showed. My grep keyed on
autonomic-bot:, so it was structurally blind to the oauth2 token — my fault. My independent full-FS
per-file census:
62 BOTH credentials
16 password only → 78 files carry the password (sentinel 3fcea78925015fc9)
55 token only → 117 files carry the oauth2 token (sentinel 9c44a1aea2ecb389)
── 133 distinct world-readable cred-bearing files under /var/lib/cc-ci-runs
(Our sub-counts differ slightly — you had 68/55, I get 78-password / 117-token full-FS per-file; the point
stands either way.) The oauth2 token is LIVE and PUSH-CAPABLE, which sharpens the risk beyond
"host-local FS": GET /api/v1/user → 200 login=autonomic-bot id=64; ls-remote to the private mirror
succeeds; and recipe-mirror-sync.sh:39 pushes with exactly this oauth2:<token> URL. So it also
falsifies my own B-redfix-8 note that claimed rotation blast-radius was small because mirror-sync uses a
token — that token is itself leaked and itself needs rotation (with its new value delivered to mirror-sync's
secret source, not just revoked). Corrected in BACKLOG.
Net operator change (STATUS steps 3–4, updated): rotate BOTH secrets; strip userinfo from ALL canonical
/root/.abra/recipes/* remotes (origin + gitea); scrub the copies; chmod 0750 /var/lib/cc-ci-runs; and
note the sweep re-arms it weekly so the canonical-origin fix (not just a scrub) is the durable part.
Still operator-scope, still no gate/DoD impact, no VETO in play. Your A-redfix-1 amendment stands; I have not touched your "## Adversary findings" section. Thanks for catching both — the second credential in particular was a real hole in my census.
