Scope

Bounded child of canonical #129. Implements the first causal repair for the owner's 2026-09-09 direction to retire .env dependencies across CWL and make Keyverse the Key Vault authority. Organization rollout: ContextualWisdomLab/.github#2063.

The parent is preserved unchanged. This PR does not deploy a new service, migrate/rotate/delete live credentials, switch consumers to an unmerged API, or introduce a second vault implementation.

Implemented

  • Reject any plaintext keyvault_passphrase entry in idp_config_entries, including an empty entry. There is no ambiguous precedence or environment/dotenv fallback.
  • Resolve only keyvault_passphrase_file through the existing bootstrap boundary. Descriptor-relative POSIX opens reject symlinks, dot/empty path segments, non-regular files/FIFOs, wrong owners, extra hard links, group/other access, malformed UTF-8/NUL, empty/oversized content and read-time mutation. All FDs close; errors do not expose raw OS/decoder diagnostics.
  • Preserve credential bytes except one terminal LF/CRLF. Exclude atime from mutation detection because ordinary reading can update it.
  • Hide client/operator/registration/root credentials from ServiceConfig repr.
  • Update ADR-0014 to Proposed instead of premature Accepted, document the root-only self-bootstrap exception and target workload contract, update operations/doctoring/CHANGELOG, and preserve the former gap baseline byte-for-byte under a historical filename.

This is a limited repair to the existing Python bootstrap adapter. The new vault data-plane/security runtime remains a Rust owner deliverable; no Python vault engine is added.

Stack and integration

Parent #129 head: 0f10ac556a318c3c3f5ce7eab0802573ecce0c4c.
Implementation commit: 4caafd0fa56b9ca377c93d78299bfe82dbec8faf.
Documentation head: bc81fed1c3e9f431bc17c6f24ab36eb518cd2286.

Do not merge this feature-base child merely because the base is unprotected. Integrate through current-head independent review and required security/service Checks; if #129 lands first, non-force integrate and retarget to protected main. Keep valid predecessor delta and recheck the new head.

Observed local verification

Original upstream bootstrap/config/kv_store blobs were reconstructed and verified against their Git blob hashes. The local environment is not a complete checkout.

  • Initial RED: 36 failures and 1 pass, covering absent protected reading, plaintext-root acceptance and repr leakage.
  • Additional RED cases caught read-time mutation and false-positive atime detection before correction.
  • Final focused suite: 42 passed.
  • Changed executable statements: 61/61 covered; no missing branch arcs originating on changed executable lines.
  • Python compilation and git diff --check: passed.
  • Published bootstrap/config/test blobs: 4d368a781f0bfe2fe03f1a9440a1619d9be50d82, 7e45e8e6cc2e127389e912e6d6252c7578b11434, c8a51c5423660fd498dca6c2606359d6835ef47c.

Not verified: full locked dependency installation, complete account-unification regression/100% coverage, Ruff/interrogate, hosted security gates, independent approval, deployment or release. Parent historical results are not current-child evidence.

Remaining security/release gates

A private root file is not KMS/HSM or guaranteed Python-memory zeroization. Parent fixed KDF salt/context-unbound ciphertext, metadata cache controls, signed workload reads, namespace/key/version authorization, immutable versions/leases, revocation, durable rewrap/backup/restore and other legacy plaintext configuration credentials remain explicit gaps. Standard projected Kubernetes Secret symlinks require a trusted regular-file snapshot or a separately reviewed adapter, not weakening this reader.

Noema/CO and all other consumers must wait for an immutable verified owner API release, not receive the operator token or query the Keyverse database. .env removal alone is not organization migration completion.

…trap credentials

Preserve canonical PR #129 unchanged and prepare its bounded child. Repair the existing bootstrap adapter without introducing a second vault engine. No consumer cutover, secret ingestion, deployment, release or merge is claimed.

Verification: 42 focused tests pass after observed RED cases; changed executable statements 61/61 and no missing changed-line branch arcs. Full repository and hosted gates remain required.
…adoption

Update ADR-0014 from premature Accepted to Proposed and replace the plaintext-root decision. Preserve the prior gap baseline byte-for-byte in the same documentation directory so its relative links and historical evidence remain available. Document root-only bootstrap exception, residual KMS/workload/version/release gaps and central migration #2063. Retain historical changelog entries; no deployment or consumer cutover claimed.

@coderabbitai review

Please review exact head bc81fed1c3e9f431bc17c6f24ab36eb518cd2286, especially descriptor-relative no-follow traversal, mode/UID/link validation, size/read-race handling, terminal-newline semantics, plaintext-root migration safety and config repr. This PR intentionally remains Draft: 42 local focused cases are not full repository/hosted verification. Do not interpret this request as approval, deployment or authorization to bypass the parent #129 stack.

@seonghobae I will review exact head bc81fed1c3e9f431bc17c6f24ab36eb518cd2286.

I will focus on the specified bootstrap and migration boundaries. I will treat the PR as Draft. I will not interpret this review request as approval, deployment authorization, or permission to bypass parent #129.

✅ Action performed

Review finished.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

RCA: hosted run 34366116385 failed documentation contract 1/7 because the scoped vault rewrite omitted the active RFC 9068/RFC 9207 acceptance obligations. Preserve the complete vault snapshot under its own file and restore the product-wide identity/tenant/MCP/release index. No tests or gates weakened. Five focused obligation assertions and whitespace validation pass; fresh hosted full-suite verification required.
…ecycle

RCA: run 34368361480 passed documentation and service tests but exposed three uncovered statements in the parent's SQLite list_namespaces implementation. Add real SQLite tests for empty/unique/sorted metadata, value replacement, close/reopen, partial/last-key deletion and retained audit. No runtime behavior or coverage threshold changed. Local compilation passes; new-head hosted execution remains required.

Owner correction: independent Keyverse custody, not mandatory external KMS

The 2026-09-10 owner clarification rejects both (a) treating external KMS/HSM as a production prerequisite and (b) treating a static *_FILE/host-mount change as completed Keyverse migration. Central issue ContextualWisdomLab/.github#2063 has been rewritten accordingly. Keyverse #153 documentation commit 61b30595bea4639517387d3ad55c2464a5d8f3d8 updates ADR-0017 and its exact evidence/acceptance boundary.

This PR's existing protected-file reader, plaintext-config rejection, repr protection and tests remain useful compatibility hardening and must be preserved. They are NOT the standalone root-custody architecture. No source from #153 is a consumer runtime dependency.

Repair finding before promotion: reconcile this branch's ADR-0014, operations and product gap baseline where they still require production external KMS/HSM or select the supervisor root file as the target. Keyverse's independent Rust custody core must initialize and unseal before its dependent Keycloak/database plane; standalone operation must not need another vault/KMS. External/local hardware profiles remain optional with distinct assurance and recovery contracts. A reviewed quorum-unseal profile must not persist its complete unlock factor and is not threshold signing.

Also distinguish non-exportable key-handle operations from secret-string retrieval: root/wrapping/signing private keys stay in custody, while actual externally required credentials have a separate scoped lease and upstream revocation lifecycle. A generic consumer resolve_credential -> string port alone cannot satisfy KMS usage.

Keep Draft. This comment neither repairs the runtime nor claims the remaining documents are already reconciled. No force push, valid-delta deletion, secret change, gate bypass or release is authorized by it.
