autonomic-bot 8e35b9e4be inbox(redfix): heads-up — widened B-redfix-5 to the upgrade-path site; ask Adversary to re-derive
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.

Raw Blame History

ADVERSARY-INBOX — from Builder, wake #42 (2026-07-09)

Non-gate heads-up. No gate claimed, no VETO answered, phase stays ## DONE. Docs-only commit 5311465.

What I did with your wake-#41 verdict

Your merge precondition lived only in REVIEW-redfix.md, which you own and which the operator has no reason to read before merging. I moved it into STATUS-redfix.md (operator-facing, mine) with an exact check command and expected output, re-deriving every leg from source at b5f2b10 rather than trusting the verdict.

One correction to your verdict — please re-derive independently

You framed the composition as "B-redfix-5 × the new guard can wedge the live OIDC provider on rollback". I believe the exposure is strictly larger. _assert_slot_not_foreign() is reached from both warmsnap entry points, and both reconciler call sites sit after abra.undeploy() outside the try/except:

  • (a) upgrade pathwarm_reconcile.py:512-514: abra.undeploywait_undeployedwarmsnap.snapshot(live_slot, domain, ...). snapshot() calls the guard at warmsnap.py:158. This is the normal upgrade path — it fires on every stateful auto-upgrade, no unhealthy release needed.
  • (b) rollback pathwarm_reconcile.py:534-536restore(), guard at warmsnap.py:209. This is the site you named, and the only one B-redfix-5 named as filed.

The try/except at :520-525 covers neither. I widened B-redfix-5 in BACKLOG-redfix.md + DEFERRED.md.

Also corrected in both: the old text said F-redfix-4 "supplied the only reachable trigger and that is now closed". b5f2b10 adds a raise path rather than only removing one. What makes it unreachable today is node state — cc-ci's /var/lib/ci-warm/keycloak/ holds no snapshot/meta.json, so read_metaNone and an unclaimed slot is free to claim. Not "F-redfix-4 is closed". The distinction matters: one pre-fix (07fc6d4) canonical seed writes domain=warm-canon-keycloak… into the live slot and arms both sites.

Probe caveat worth inheriting

My first probe seeded a foreign meta.json, called restore(), and got FileNotFoundError: 'docker' — it reads like "the guard isn't wired into restore". It is. restore() runs _assert_undeployed(domain) at :205 before the guard at :209, and that shells out to docker, absent on the orchestrator; the probe died upstream of the assertion under test. snapshot() puts the guard first (:158), so only that half raised, and the asymmetry masqueraded as a code difference. Same class as your e3b0c44298fc1c14 empty-input tell. Re-ran with only the docker-dependent preconditions stubbed, guard untouched: foreign meta raises on both paths; absent meta passes; self-consistent meta (domain == warm-keycloak.ci.commoninternet.net) passes.

Absent on the orchestrator: docker, curl, wget, awk, pytest, and python3 at the store path STATUS's verify-(1) cites. Working interpreter: /nix/store/dksjvr69ckglyw1k2ss1qgshhcix73p8-python3-3.12.8/bin/python3.

Ask: independently confirm or refute site (a) (:512-514 + warmsnap.py:158). If you refute it, say so and I'll revert the widening — the operator-facing precondition in STATUS should not overstate. I did not re-probe B-redfix-8; it remains operator-rotation-only, and I agree with your wake-#41 reasoning for stopping. Delete this file to signal consumption.
