D-137 phase 3: re-measure the register; SEC-024 opened ...

~21 inferred filenames corrected against their own mint-refs. The session had
owned six; those were only the rows the first sweep physically touched.
Octavia's 8 real basenames plus its THREE SUBDIRECTORIES (the bare
~/octavia-pki/* pattern matched ZERO of the 8 artifacts, two of them CA
private keys); vault's init.txt; the tenant rows' <client>- instance prefix,
with a placeholder matcher so they can match a real basename at all;
kube-config -> config; .maas.cli -> .maascli.db (measured: ~/.maas.cli does
not exist).

sec-ref mis-attribution corrected: both juju-maas-user rows cited SEC-020;
the on-subject rows are SEC-018/-019. This is the SEC-015 class recurring --
one instance was fixed by hand earlier without checking whether it was
systemic. It was.

mint-ref corrected: admin.pass cited a CONSUMER (:452), not the mint (:450);
the RGW key cites a line that takes it as INPUT, so it is operator-terminal.

Rows added: the libvirt SSH power password (standing rotation obligation from
a 2026-06-26 plaintext exposure, in neither the matrix nor the exclusions),
vault-ca-root, and the tfstate siblings. ~/as-executed/ deliberately NOT
declared, reason recorded: it holds session logs, so declaring it made every
log a false UNDECLARED.

Four further defects in my own phase-2 changes, found by RUNNING the sweep:
shlex.quote broke ~ expansion; a non-existent parent read as unreadable
rather than absent; site-key `-` needed shared-location semantics; the
tfstate siblings needed rows.

SEC-024 OPENED -- new exposure found by the fixed checker on its first clean
run: opentofu/terraform.tfstate.backup is mode 0664 and carries the MAAS API
key in plaintext (DOCFIX-175); the live state file is 0600. Invisible to
every prior control because the world-readable check was custody-gated and
the siblings were undeclared. LOGGED, NOT ACTIONED (hard rule 1).

Findings 35 -> 13, all true. Matrix 81 rows. Harness 44/44, creds-audit
15/15, gauntlet ALL GREEN (80), repo-lint 0-fail.

D-137 phase 2: fix the eight confirmed false-greens, regression-lock each ...

Tier 2 is now scoped by (host-role, SITE-KEY). Keying on role alone merged
all three jumphost creds folders into one basename namespace, so a credential
present at ANY site satisfied the row for EVERY site -- how SEC-021's dc0
opnsense-api.txt absence passed a green sweep while tier 1 flagged it. Four
committee lenses converged on this. vm-secret-locations gains a site column.

Also fixed, each reproduced by the committee and each now regression-locked:
- probe_remote called a successfully-read location UNREACHABLE when its glob
  matched nothing, gating the role and turning every absence FAIL there into
  an [ok]; a __DONE__ liveness marker now separates "ran, found nothing" from
  "could not reach".
- literal-file locations skipped absent/unreadable detection entirely (the
  T33 false green surviving in the other path form).
- an EMPTY locations list bypassed ruling 3's refusal.
- a zero-row matrix reported clean over the empty set.
- a mint-ref pointing at a directory crashed with exit 1 -- indistinguishable
  from findings -- and skipped S5/S6/S7, silently dropping the conflation and
  asymmetry findings.
- mode enforcement was custody-gated, leaving 43 of 77 rows unchecked
  including the SEC-020 and SEC-022 stores; a world-readable check now
  applies at any custody.
- S5's dc1->dc0 direction was untested; deleting it left the harness green.
- rows with no declared location for their scope are disclosed, not skipped.
- declared paths/targets are charset-validated and shell-quoted: an
  unvalidated `;` reached a remote shell, under sudo when --privileged.
- creds-audit sprawl globs now cover dotfiles; the prior widening could not
  see .admin.pass, the dotfile sibling of its own motivating secret.

T24 replaced with a checked-in finding-CLASS baseline. The old form grepped
for the literal "IDENTITY CONFLATION", so REMEDIATING that defect would have
turned the gauntlet red for whoever did the right thing -- making "edit the
test" the cheapest response exactly when the guard mattered.

Harness 35 -> 43, creds-audit 13 -> 15, gauntlet ALL GREEN (80), lint 0-fail.

D-137 tier 2: privileged sweep completed; permission gap fixed; 6 inferred filenames corrected ...

The block was a PATTERN GAP, not a policy conflict. Bash(ssh * sudo *) was
already in the project ask list, but it needs a literal space before `sudo`
and the command was ssh <host> 'sudo ...' -- the quote meant no rule matched,
so it fell through to the classifier. Added the quoted variants plus a
targeted rule for the privileged invocation; all `ask`, never `allow`.

FLAGGED NOT FIXED (hard rule 1): Bash(ssh * virsh *) has the identical gap.

MEASURED (docs/audit/d137-tier2-privileged-20260726.txt): the region secrets
dir holds exactly admin.apikey/admin.pass/db.pass/lxd-trust.pass at 0600 --
precisely the SEC-020(i) carve-out list; netbox holds admin.pass/api.token/
secret_key at 0600; the SEC-022 shadow stores are confirmed and now audited.
ZERO undeclared files at any declared location: SEC-020 and SEC-022 are
accounted for.

OWNED: the first matrix draft carried SIX filenames I authored plausibly
instead of measuring -- a hard-rule-2 miss. The checker's undeclared-detection
caught every one on first contact with real hosts. Corrected to measured
values, real locations declared, and five colocated non-secret artifacts
declared so the check stays meaningful. Matrix 72 -> 77 rows.

9 findings remain, all true: SEC-021 (3 declaration + 2 on-disk), the ruling-5
conflation, and 3 S5 asymmetries -- dc0's snap power key is the generic
id_ed25519 while dc1's is the dedicated id_dc1_power, the SEC-012/SEC-016
per-DC-isolation divergence made visible.

Harness 35/35, gauntlet ALL GREEN (80), repo-lint 0-fail.

D-137 tier 2 (EXISTENCE): declared-location bound, existence checks, widened globs ...

Tooling only -- the LIVE three-site sweep has NOT run, so SEC-021's on-disk
half, SEC-022 and SEC-023 are not yet reproduced as live findings.

creds-manifests/vm-secret-locations (ruling 3): the absolute bound on
discovery. Covers the jumphost creds folders, the SEC-022 headend shadow
stores, the SEC-020 region secrets dir, the three dirs outside the SEC-009
convention, plus two the ruling's note did not name -- the in-clone PKI
overlay and the DOCFIX-175 plaintext tfstate. Tenant dirs are LOCAL-only:
no tenant VM/project/host is reachable from this file, so D-069 holds by
construction rather than by good behaviour. `<repo>` is substituted at
runtime (D-110: the repo name is never hardcoded).

creds-matrix.py --tier2 [--remote]: E1 expected-but-absent, E2 mode, E3
undeclared-at-a-declared-location. Probes are `stat` over ssh -- metadata
only, never content. An unreachable host SKIPS with an explicit [ok],
because "could not look" must never read as "nothing there".
--pending-stage is supplied by the CALLER so a not-yet-reached mint stage
defers instead of failing; encoding which stages have run would put a
status claim in code, and GA-R1 puts status in CURRENT-STATE only.

creds-audit.sh sprawl globs widened for the SEC-023 blind spots
(admin.pass, *.apikey, *.key, *.pem, *_ed25519, *_rsa, *openrc*). The old
six patterns could not have matched the SEC-020 secret that sat undetected
12 days, any bare SSH key or PEM, or the predicted Stage-5 ~/admin-openrc.

Harnesses: creds-matrix 33/33 (8 new tier-2 cases), creds-audit 13/13
(was 7; five blind-spot fixtures plus T13 asserting the widening did NOT
become trigger-happy). Gauntlet ALL GREEN (80), repo-lint 0-fail.

FLAGGED DIVERGENCE from the plan's Files list: --remote is implemented in
creds-matrix.py, not creds-audit.sh. Tier 2 IS the preflight Pn and the
matrix plus locations list both live there; splitting it would mean two
implementations of one bounded walk. Ruling 3 names a bound, not a script.
