Closes acquisition-diligence Bundle 6 findings on secret custody, config
encryption, and local artifact hygiene. Source IDs: S6, R4, SEC-M2,
RT-M1, RT-M2, RT-L1.
Surgical closures (artifact-only audit-framed memos stay out of the
public repo per the Bundle 5 lesson):
R4 / RT-L1 — local EC private key artifact
rm cmd/agent/mc-001.key (gitignored, never in git history, leftover
from a 2025-era agent dev run on the operator's workstation).
Added scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh that fails the
build if any TRACKED non-test file contains a PEM private-key block,
so the next attempt to commit similar material gets caught at CI.
Allowlist: *_test.go (hermetic-test PEMs), examples/*.md (sample
walkthroughs), internal/scep/intune/testdata/ (certificates, not
keys).
RT-M1 — landing-page HSM implication
certctl.io/index.html: 'their hardware' / 'your hardware' colloquial
comparisons rephrased to 'their custody' / 'your servers'. The phrase
'Your keys. Your hardware. Your data. Your terms.' becomes 'Your
keys. Your servers. Your data. Your terms.' to remove any inferred
HSM-backed key-storage claim. The technical disclosure now lives in
docs/operator/secret-custody.md (linked below); the landing page no
longer makes a claim it cannot back.
S6 + SEC-M2 + RT-M2 (composite documentation closure)
Added docs/operator/secret-custody.md — public operator reference
enumerating every secret material on the control plane and on
agents:
- Local CA private key (FileDriver, file-on-disk, heap-resident
with the L-014 carve-out documented in
internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go).
- Agent ECDSA P-256 keys (file on agent host, never transmitted).
- OIDC client secret (AES-256-GCM v3, PBKDF2 600k).
- Session signing key (same encryption regime).
- Break-glass credential (Argon2id, never encrypted).
- API-key bearer tokens (SHA-256 hash only; plaintext shown once).
- CSR private keys mid-issuance (agent memory only).
- Issuer-connector backend secrets (encrypted_config column,
fail-closed for source='database', plaintext-by-design for
source='env' with rationale).
The Env-seeded-vs-DB-seeded plaintext policy is explained in plain
text so a buyer review can independently verify the startup guard at
cmd/server/main.go:222-262 makes sense.
Added docs/operator/runbooks/config-encryption-upgrade.md — the
procedural arm: how to force v1/v2 -> v3 re-seal across the
database, plus the passphrase-rotation order. Documents the
AEAD-driven read fallback (v3 -> v2 -> v1) and the fact that
re-sealing happens passively on UPDATE. Open roadmap item: a
certctl admin reseal --all command (tracked in
WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md).
Both docs wired into docs/README.md Operator + Runbooks tables.
Verification:
rg -n 'CONFIG_ENCRYPTION|encrypt|v1|private key|HSM|PKCS11|mc-001.key|\.key|Local CA' \
internal cmd docs .gitignore README.md # ambient (no NEW leaks)
find . -name '*.key' \
-not -path './.git/*' -not -path './web/node_modules/*' # empty
git ls-files | xargs grep -lE 'BEGIN .* PRIVATE KEY' \
| grep -vE '_test\.go$|^examples/|^internal/scep/intune/testdata/' # empty
bash scripts/ci-guards/B6-no-private-keys-in-tree.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh # PASS
bash scripts/ci-guards/doc-rot-detector.sh # PASS
Residual roadmap (deliberately deferred):
- signer.PKCS11Driver (HSM-token-backed CA-key custody).
- signer.CloudKMSDriver (AWS/GCP/Azure KMS-backed CA-key custody).
- FIPS 140-3 mode for the whole control plane.
- HSM-backed session signing key.
- Built-in 'certctl admin reseal --all' command.
All five tracked in WORKSPACE-ROADMAP.md, not retracted.
scripts/ci-guards/ — Regression-guard scripts
Each <id>.sh script in this directory pins one closed audit finding from
regressing. CI runs the full set on every push via the
Regression guards step in .github/workflows/ci.yml. Operators can
run any script locally:
bash scripts/ci-guards/G-3-env-docs-drift.sh
Contract
Every script in this directory MUST:
- Be exit-code 0 on a clean repo (no regression present).
- Be exit-code non-zero on regression, with a
::error::annotation prefix so PR reviewers see the failing line in the GitHub Actions UI. - Be runnable from repo root via
bash scripts/ci-guards/<id>.shwith NO arguments and NO env-var requirements. The CI loop step (for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.sh; do bash "$g"; done) iterates every.shhere without args; any script that requires an arg or env var WILL fail in that loop. - Carry a head-comment block matching the in-source justification from the original ci.yml entry: the audit-finding reference, the closure rationale, the exempt-surface list (if any).
- Use
set -eearly to fail-fast on internal command errors. - Produce no output on the happy path beyond a final
echo "<id>: clean."confirmation line.
Helpers vs guards
Scripts that consume input artifacts (a test-output log, a
coverage.out file) or env vars (PR_NUMBER, GH_TOKEN) are
HELPERS, not guards. They live in scripts/, NOT scripts/ci-guards/.
Current helpers:
scripts/vendor-e2e-skip-check.sh— consumestest-output.logarg from the deploy-vendor-e2e jobscripts/coverage-pr-comment.sh— consumescoverage.out+PR_NUMBER+GH_TOKENenv from the go-build-and-test jobscripts/check-coverage-thresholds.sh— consumescoverage.out.github/coverage-thresholds.yml
scripts/qa-doc-part-count.sh+scripts/qa-doc-seed-count.sh— invoked viamake verify-docspre-tag, not in CI
Adding a new guard
- Drop a new
<id>.shin this directory with the head-comment block describing the audit finding it closes. - Make it executable:
chmod +x scripts/ci-guards/<id>.sh. - Verify it fails on a deliberate regression and passes on clean repo.
- CI auto-picks up new scripts via the
for g in scripts/ci-guards/*.shloop in theRegression guardsstep — no ci.yml change required.

Forward-looking guards (Auditable Codebase Bundle, post-v2.1.0 anti-rot)
These guards catch defect classes BEFORE they get audit findings — they pin invariants on the codebase that the v2.0 audit history showed are easy to lose.
| ID | Item | Catches |
|---|---|---|
complete-path-config-coverage |
post-v2.1.0 / item-1 | "Lying field" — CERTCTL_* env var defined in internal/config/config.go that no consumer outside internal/config/ actually reads. Operator-facing config that the docs claim works but the code never honors. Companion Go test at internal/config/coverage_test.go. |
doc-rot-detector |
post-v2.1.0 / item-5 | Docs older than 90 days warn (yellow), older than 120 days fail (red). Uses HEAD commit timestamp for reproducibility. docs/archive/ allowlisted in bulk. |
The cold-DB compose smoke (post-v2.1.0 / item-6) is NOT a script in this directory — it is inlined directly into .github/workflows/ci.yml::cold-db-compose-smoke because there is no value in a developer running it locally (the whole point of the gate is that CI owns the cold-DB state). To inspect or modify the smoke logic, read that workflow job; there is intentionally no scripts/ci-guards/cold-db-compose-smoke.sh.
The fourth Bundle artifact (internal/ciparity/) is Go tests, not shell guards — runs under the standard Go test step. Pins the MCP tool catalogue floor + naming convention; reports CLI/MCP/OpenAPI surface counts as a trend metric.
Guards explicitly NOT here
QA-doc Part-count drift+QA-doc seed-count drift— these protect docs-the-operator-reads, not anything the product depends on. Moved tomake verify-docs(operator runs pre-tag, not on every push). See the ci-pipeline-cleanup spec, Phase 11.
