STATUS — Phase 1c (full git reproducibility + genuine D8 live rebuild)

Phase plan (SSOT): /srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase1c-full-reproducibility.md Loop state for THIS phase: STATUS-1c / BACKLOG-1c / REVIEW-1c / JOURNAL-1c (DECISIONS.md shared). The repo's STATUS.md / BACKLOG.md / REVIEW.md are Phase-1 HISTORY — not this phase's state.

Phase

1c kickoff — Phase 1 is DONE & Adversary-signed-off (1c10fa5; all D1–D10 PASS, no VETO). Now: make the VM fully reproducible from git (secrets+cert in a private cc-ci-secrets repo) and perform a genuine throwaway-VM live rebuild to close D8 honestly.

In flight — W2 (secrets repo + cert into git)

• W2 step 1 DONE: private recipe-maintainers/cc-ci-secrets created + populated (6 infra secrets + wildcard cert/key, sops, both recipients; cert/key sha256 verified byte-perfect) + pushed. Layout: root secrets.yaml → submodule mounts at base secrets/.
• W2 step 2 (next): base repo — replace tracked secrets/ with the submodule; add wildcard_cert/wildcard_key in secrets.nix (path= → /var/lib/ci-certs/live + recovery keyFile); adjust proxy.nix; switch cc-ci via --flake 'git+file:///root/cc-ci?submodules=1#cc-ci'; prove byte-identical + TLS-from-git-cert; then claim Gate W2.
• (W1 resize deferred until just before W3 — it briefly stops the live server; only needed for VM headroom.)

Definition of Done (C1–C7 — see phase plan §3)

• C1 — Secrets-repo split (private cc-ci-secrets, base stays one parameterized repo, byte-identical build)
• C2 — Cert in git (wildcard cert+key as sops secrets, decrypted at activation; no operator cert-drop step)
• C3 — All secrets in git, one exception = bootstrap age key (documented)
• C4 — Genuine throwaway-VM live rebuild (Incus terraform-ci, only age key provisioned)
• C5 — Honest D8 (static byte-identical + live rebuild; "infeasible by design" removed)
• C6 — Resource fit + cleanup (cc-nix-test 6→4 GB, throwaway 4 GB, destroyed after; final sizing decided)
• C7 — Docs (install.md/secrets.md/architecture.md + main plan refs updated to new model)

Gate

None claimed yet. (Milestone gates W2/W4/W5 will be CLAIMED here per §6.1.)

Blocked

(none)

Notes

• Current secret layout: secrets/secrets.yaml (6 infra secrets), recipients = host age key (ssh-to-age of cc-ci's ed25519 host key) + off-box master recovery key (/srv/cc-ci/.sops/master-age.txt, sandbox-only). .sops.yaml at repo root.
• Wildcard cert currently out-of-band at /var/lib/ci-certs/live/{fullchain.pem,privkey.pem} (operator-provided, LE, next renewal ~2026-08-24); proxy.nix reads it from there. 1c moves it into sops-in-git, decrypted back to that path at activation.
• Sandbox host has NO sops/nix/age — sops ops run on cc-ci (has nix + host age key) or via the master key with a sops binary fetched on cc-ci.
• cc-nix-test == the live cc-ci server (100.90.116.4); resizing it (W1) briefly stops it.
