⛔ Blocked on an owner settings action: this PR cannot go green by itself

On every head so far, five standards callers end in startup_failure with zero jobs: CodeQL, Governance, Hypatia, Rust CI and Secret Scanner. Everything else passes, including Dashboard Check, Agda proofs, Idris ABI, E2E, Squabble and the SonarCloud Quality Gate.

Most likely cause (strong hypothesis, not verified): januskey's live Actions allowlist does not yet admit the transferred standards repository.

  • The canonical list on standards main already carries metadatastician/standards/.github/workflows/*@* (#1365, #1367).
  • The per-repo widening is done by scripts/widen-actions-allowlist.sh and needs repository Administration rights.
  • This session's proxy refuses every actions/permissions path, so I could neither read nor change januskey's live list.
  • cicd-squabbler recorded the same class, B-ALLOWLIST, and is green on this pin.
  • Hypatia still fails at startup after its secret became an explicit named pass, which rules secrets out as the remaining cause.

To unblock, run this from a metadatastician/standards checkout, with an admin token:

scripts/widen-actions-allowlist.sh hyperpolymath/januskey           # dry run
scripts/widen-actions-allowlist.sh hyperpolymath/januskey --apply

Then re-run the five failed workflows.

If they still show zero jobs after that, the next suspect is the lock record shape. The official generator also lists the nested metadatastician/standards@d55304a edge and haskell-actions/setup, and the estate relock tool omits both for callers that don't call ci-pipeline.yml.

Re-pin and relock (1cdbf2e)

  • hyperpolymath/standards was transferred to metadatastician/standards. The repo_id stayed 1116521501, and the owner_id is now 297579217.
  • All seven callers are now pinned to metadatastician/standards/...@a797d308c0517d4e2d21cc7f1cb08d41f82b1a12.
  • actions.lock was regenerated by scripts/relock-standards-pin.sh, not edited by hand.
    • check-lock-sync.sh passes.
    • check-lock-pin-contract.sh reports only the same 11 tag-keyed leaf records as main does.

Secrets and S-2 (56e64ea)

  • secrets: inherit is refused from a user account into an organisation. hypatia-scan, mirror and scorecard now pass exactly the secrets their reusables declare. This cleared SonarCloud.
  • S-2 is narrowed: the content store's write is atomic by construction only.

Proof-statement audit, recorded in the ledger (faefe32)

  • Adds docs/reports/audit/proof-statement-audit-2026-10-27.adoc.
  • New ledger rows:
    • S-1 and S-2, TESTED.
    • L-1 and L-2, OPEN (the attestation log).
    • O-1, OPEN (ObliterationProof).

ADR-0002, obliteration by crypto-shredding (proposed; nothing built) (967edb8 … bc701e4)

  • The proposal. Per-blob AES-256-GCM keys live in one key table plus an append-only key journal. Each message is sealed under its own HKDF subkey of the epoch key. There are two roots:
    • a stable Argon2id store root, from which the HMAC index key is derived;
    • a keyring-held epoch secret, replaced on every final shred.
  • A final shred:
    • opens the table;
    • folds in the journal;
    • drops the entry;
    • re-seals the table under a fresh epoch;
    • drops the old epoch secret.
  • Review corrections. Five Codex review rounds corrected:
    • the pending versus final shred distinction;
    • scope limited to content-store copies (neither the working file nor pre-migration plaintext on the medium is covered);
    • migration of ContentHash references and of legacy obliteration records;
    • the key hierarchy;
    • AEAD key usage;
    • benchmark realism.
  • benches/crypto_shred.rs, measured on random payloads, one run on a virtual disk (read as shape, not absolute numbers):
    • Against jk's default (gzip) store, the proposed path is within run-to-run noise at 4 and 64 KiB, and adds about 8% at 1 MiB and 12% at 16 MiB.
    • gzip on incompressible input dominates today's store: 525 ms against 40 ms at 16 MiB. This is a separate finding (E6).
    • A pending (batched) shred, which appends a journal tombstone, takes 0.20 ms.
    • A final shred (open, drop, re-seal) takes 0.96, 2.9 and 26 ms at 1k, 10k and 100k keys. One file per key takes 1.2 s at 1k keys and is rejected.
    • Earlier figures were withdrawn as the benchmark was corrected; §3 records which and why.
  • Decisions left for acceptance:
    • where the epoch secret lives, and whether that keyring's deletion is real erasure;
    • final versus batched shreds;
    • redacting versus retaining legacy obliteration hashes;
    • the recovery story for a lost passphrase.

… relock

hyperpolymath/standards was transferred to metadatastician (same repo_id
1116521501, new owner_id 297579217); the API now answers 301. Since then
the seven callers pinned at metadatastician/standards@a85aa8e end before any
job exists (failure/startup_failure, zero jobs, labelled by file path).

Re-point codeql, governance, hypatia-scan, mirror, rust-ci, scorecard and
secret-scanner at metadatastician/standards@a797d308 (standards main
#1394), the pin cicd-squabbler's main went green on (eeec5ed, 2026-11-04).

actions.lock was regenerated by the estate tool, not by hand:
  scripts/relock-standards-pin.sh --to a797d308… (standards main 087f6bf)
which rewrote the per-workflow edges, replaced the standards record with
owner_id 297579217, and copied the two new leaf records it needs
(actions/download-artifact v8.0.2, swatinem/rust-cache v2.9.3) from
standards' own lock at the target.

Validated locally: check-lock-sync.sh passes. check-lock-pin-contract.sh
reports the same 11 tag-keyed leaf records as main (pre-existing, not
gated here) and accepts the new caller-side standards edge.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the shared workflows used for security scanning, governance, CI, repository mirroring and project analysis.
  • Documentation
    • Updated proof-status documentation to distinguish tested results from open or unverified claims.
    • Added an audit report and a proposal describing a possible approach to data erasure; the proposal does not represent implemented functionality.

Seven GitHub Actions jobs now use reusable workflows from metadatastician/standards. The proof ledger and audit report record tested content-store claims and open proof gaps. An unaccepted ADR proposes crypto-shredding, with a benchmark target for comparing storage and erasure operations.

Changes: Reusable workflow references

…e ledger

Adds docs/reports/audit/proof-statement-audit-2026-10-27.adoc: which
"What Needs Proving" obligations are provable as written, which needed a
code change first, and the probe evidence (P0 control, P1-P6) behind each
verdict. A status preamble records what has since been fixed.

Ledger rows, in both tables:
- S-1, S-2 TESTED: content-store path confinement and atomic, repairing
  writes (fixed in #163; the four unit tests that pin them).
- L-1, L-2 OPEN: the attestation log does not detect edits to uncovered
  fields or to the last entry (P1, P2), nor tail truncation (P3).
- O-1 OPEN: ObliterationProof hard-codes storage_cleared and verifies for
  content never stored (P6).
The attestation and content-store obligations now point at those rows.

dashboard-check run locally: every TESTED row (the new S rows included)
and the count checks pass; the PROVEN rows were not run here (no idris2 or
agda in this container) and are left to the Dashboard Check workflow.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The new owner changes the cross-repository relationship for callers using secrets: inherit, including mirror, hypatia, and scorecard. Inheritance may be restricted when the called repository is outside the caller's organization or enterprise.

The mirror workflow may fail to start or lack the credential needed to update mirrors.

This can occur when: The caller previously met the applicable inheritance restriction with hyperpolymath but metadatastician is outside the permitted boundary.

…rk behind it

ADR-0002 (status: proposed, nothing built) replaces the 3-pass overwrite,
which cannot reach old bytes on SSDs, copy-on-write file systems,
journals or snapshots, with per-blob random AES-256-GCM keys: erasing a
blob is erasing its 32-byte key. It states where the key hierarchy must
end (one root secret held where erasure is real), what becomes provable
(O-1 restated as a finite-map lemma shaped like E-1m), the costs to
reversibility (undo needs the store key), and four experiments to run
before building, the decisive one a forensic scan of a btrfs loop image.

benches/crypto_shred.rs measures the real store and obliterate_file
against a prototype seal and key drop (one run, virtual disk, shape not
absolute numbers): dropping a key costs ~0.74 ms whatever the blob size,
overwriting a 16 MiB blob ~123 ms; sealing doubles store time at 16 MiB
and is in the fsync noise below 64 KiB; a single key table is O(N) per
shred (14 ms at 100k keys), so per-blob key files are proposed instead.

cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --benches -D warnings pass.

…; narrow S-2

GitHub permits `secrets: inherit` only within one organisation or
enterprise. The re-pin moved the callee from the hyperpolymath user
account to the metadatastician organisation, so hypatia-scan, mirror
and scorecard now pass exactly the secrets their reusables declare:
HYPATIA_SCAN_PAT; the seven optional mirror keys; none for scorecard.
cicd-squabbler already dropped every `inherit` for the same reason.
This is also what SonarCloud flagged (hypatia-scan.yml:32,
mirror.yml:18, scorecard.yml:21: the C security rating on new code).

S-2 claimed the store's write is atomic, but no test injects a mid-write
failure; it is atomic by construction only. The row and the obligation
text now say so, and claim only what the two tests show: a damaged blob
is repaired and no temporary file is left.

Checked: actionlint 1.7.7 (checksum-verified) on all seven callers,
check-lock-sync.sh, YAML parse of the three edited callers, and
dashboard-check (TESTED rows and counts pass; PROVEN rows need
idris2/agda, absent here).

… the store cost

Four review findings on the proposal, all correct:

- Removing a key file is not erasure: a snapshot or CoW extent can keep
  it, still wrapped under the live epoch key. A shred is now "pending"
  until the epoch it was wrapped under is rotated away, and O-1 is
  restated over that rotation; per-shred versus batched rotation is left
  as an acceptance decision.
- The guarantee covers content-store copies only. The working file was
  plaintext on the medium before jk saw it; E4 gains a product-flow case
  that is expected to find the marker, so the limit stays tested.
- HMAC addresses would orphan every ContentHash in the operation log.
  Migration now versions ContentHash, rewrites the log in one atomic
  save, and shreds the SHA-addressed copies only after that commits.
- The sealed-store benchmark omitted the key file's own synced write.
  Re-measured with it: a sealed 4 KiB store is ~1.7x the plaintext one
  (2.69 vs 1.61 ms), not "in the noise"; the cost is fsync count.

cargo fmt --check and clippy --benches -D warnings pass.

… old records

Three more review findings, all correct, and two change the design:

- A final shred must re-seal every live key under a fresh epoch key.
  Measured: one sealed key table costs 1.2 / 3.9 / 34 ms at 1k / 10k /
  100k keys (one synced write); one file per key costs 1.2 s at 1k
  keys. Key storage therefore flips to the single sealed table, and the
  "166x" comparison of a pending key drop against today's overwrite is
  withdrawn.
- jk compresses by default, and the benchmark had compression off with
  compressible payloads. It now uses random (incompressible) payloads
  and measures the default store and compress-then-seal: sealing adds
  ~1.7x at 4 KiB (the key's fsync) and ~7% at 16 MiB, where gzip on
  incompressible input is the dominant cost today (545 vs 40 ms).
- obliterations.json keeps the SHA-256 address of content already
  erased, so migration cannot rewrite it. The ADR now proposes redacting
  hash, nonce and commitment from legacy records, as a decision for
  acceptance.

E5 now covers the full final shred; E6 measures compressible payloads
and skipping gzip when it does not pay. fmt and clippy --benches pass.

…p migration open

Fourth review round, three findings, all correct:

- The benchmark still wrote a key file per blob though §2 had moved to
  one sealed table, and rewriting that table on every store would cost
  O(live keys). Stores now append one sealed entry to a key journal and
  sync it; shreds fold the journal into the table they rewrite anyway.
  Re-measured against the default (gzip) store: within run-to-run noise
  at 4 and 64 KiB, +8% at 1 MiB, +12% at 16 MiB. The earlier "1.7x at
  4 KiB" measured the rejected per-file layout and is withdrawn.
- The HMAC index key had no protection scheme. It is now derived from
  the §4 root with HKDF under its own label, never written down, stable
  for the store's lifetime, and only as strong as that root.
- Migration exposure does not end when the log rewrite commits: the
  old SHA-addressed blobs are plaintext under predictable names until
  shredded. Migration stays marked incomplete and resumes cleanup on
  every invocation until the last old copy is gone.

fmt and clippy --benches -D warnings pass.

… costs

Fifth review round, six findings, all correct:

- Two roots: a stable Argon2id store root (index key via HKDF, never
  rotated) and a random keyring-held epoch secret replaced on every
  final shred (epoch key = HKDF over the store root, salted with it).
  Rotation no longer re-addresses blobs, and the passphrase alone does
  not reopen a retained table.
- One message per AEAD key now holds for epoch-level messages too: the
  table and each journal entry get their own HKDF subkey by sequence
  number. X-1 is split into AEAD, erasure and KDF assumptions.
- Migration cleanup removes only reachable files; plaintext written
  before migration may persist in CoW extents, flash, snapshots and
  backups. jk status reports that permanently; a fresh sealed store is
  recommended where exposure matters.
- Benchmark: the pending shred is now a journal tombstone (0.20 ms), not
  the rejected per-file delete; the final shred times the whole open,
  drop and re-seal on 64-byte plaintext rows (0.96 / 2.91 / 26.2 ms at
  1k / 10k / 100k keys), replacing reseal-only figures on 92-byte rows.

…old, valid E4

Sixth review round, three findings, all correct:

- Rotation could strand the live table: the keyring and the file system
  cannot be updated atomically. Tables and epoch secrets now carry a
  generation; a shred adds secret n+1, writes keys.<n+1>, renames a
  `current` pointer, then removes secret n and the old files. Open
  recovers a mid-rotation store to exactly one openable generation, and
  E5 now injects a crash after each step.
- Folding the journal is never zero in practice (the victim's own store
  leaves an entry). Measured: 0.42 / 0.45 / 0.77 / 3.44 ms for 10 / 100 /
  1k / 10k entries; the final-shred cost is now stated as O(live keys +
  journal entries), and the earlier "zero" claim is withdrawn.
- E4 runs with compression off in both arms and requires a positive
  pre-shred control, so a gzip-hidden marker cannot pass as erasure.

fmt and clippy --benches -D warnings pass.

A store appending under generation n after a concurrent shred folded
that journal, but before secret n was removed, would leave its blob key
in no table under a destroyed secret: permanent loss of undo content.
Every journal append and every whole rotation now holds one exclusive
store lock, and journal entries carry their generation so a store that
waited across a rotation re-seals under the new one. Stricter than the
transaction log's out-of-scope stance on concurrent writers (T-5),
because the failure here is key loss, not a lost update.

… fix TESTED count

Seventh review round, five findings, all correct:

- PROOF-NEEDS: the proof-grade section still said 23 TESTED rows; the
  ledger now has 27 (the four S-1/S-2 rows). Corrected.
- The generation pointer is now written by temp, fsync, rename and a
  directory fsync before secret n is removed, and recovery picks the
  generation that actually opens rather than trusting `current`.
- retrieve and undo hold the store lock shared for the whole use of a
  key, so a reader cannot finish an undo after a final shred reported
  the content gone.
- A store syncs its journal entry before renaming the sealed blob into
  place, and dedupe accepts an existing blob only if its key exists:
  a crash can leave a key without a blob, never a blob without a key.
- The journal-fold benchmark now derives every subkey (HKDF expand,
  one HMAC-SHA-256 block) inside the timed loop: 0.45 / 0.70 / 2.28 /
  18.0 ms for 10 / 100 / 1k / 10k entries, replacing figures that used
  pre-derived keys.

- Line 244: Update the journal-folding benchmark around `fold_journal` so it
measures the complete fold, including merging decrypted rows into a table and
resealing, while preserving the benchmark’s final-shred flow. If those steps
cannot be included, label the measurement explicitly as a partial
journal-reading-and-clearing cost.

Review comments at @docs/adr/0002-crypto-shredding.adoc:
- Line 53: The ADR’s generation-rotation sequence must make the new generation
durable before deleting secret _n_. Update the documented sequence around the
`current` pointer rename to require syncing the containing directory after
creating `keys.<n+1>` and again after renaming `current`; ensure both syncs
complete before removing the old secret.

Review comments at @docs/reports/audit/proof-statement-audit-2026-10-27.adoc:
- Around line 118-120: Correct the receipt attribution associated with the “3.
Attestation chain” section: limit its coverage to Reversibility and
TransactionAtomicity with the flags used in that run, and do not attribute E-1m
or current-gate coverage to it. Record E-1m as covered only when supported by a
CI run using the current gate.

Review comments at @PROOF-NEEDS.adoc:
- Line 79: Narrow the S-2 TESTED claim to the successful storage and
pre-existing orphan cases covered by
`store_leaves_no_temp_files_and_count_ignores_strays`; do not claim that
temporary files are always removed after write or rename failures, since cleanup
failure is neither observable nor tested in `ContentStore::store`.
- Line 77: Complete the T-8 failure-state sentence: state that if mark_undone
fails to persist, the log remains unmarked, so a retry runs the undo operation
again. Keep the existing atomic-save and CI status details unchanged.

…p-file claim

CodeRabbit review findings, verified:

- The Grade 3 receipt (run 40867211509 at 4afb710) predates
  Epistemic.agda and --cubical-compatible: its check-agda.sh checked only
  Reversibility and TransactionAtomicity, so it never covered E-1m. The
  receipt is now run 41687715055 at fc188c4, which ran the current gate
  (all three modules, --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible, Agda
  2.6.4.3, resource-algebra cf9235c); gate, modules, sibling fetch and
  workflow are byte-identical from fc188c4 to this head.
- S-2: store ignores the remove_file error on its write and rename
  failure paths, so only a successful store is shown to leave no
  temporary file. Both rows now say so.
- ADR-0002: the new generation's files and their directory are synced
  before the pointer switch; the journal-fold row is labelled as the
  read-and-clear part, the merge being inside the table re-seal.

…ew round

mirror-reusable.yml at a797d30 declares ten optional secrets; the named
mapping that replaced `secrets: inherit` forwarded only the seven forge
keys, so an enabled R2 bundle backup would silently receive empty
credentials. R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID, R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and R2_AGE_RECIPIENT
are now passed too. Every other caller's mapping was re-checked against
its reusable's declared secrets with a YAML parser: all match.

ADR-0002, four findings, all correct:
- Dedupe accepts an existing blob only if it authenticates under the
  mapped key; a key's mere presence is not enough after a repair crash.
- Rotation recovery guarantees at least one openable generation (both
  are, by design, between the table write and the pointer switch),
  selects the committed one, and ends with exactly one; E5 checks that.
- Per-message subkeys use a random 256-bit salt carried in the message,
  not a sequence number, which a torn-append recovery could reuse.
- The fold benchmark reads the salted journal from disk inside the
  timed loop: 0.48 / 0.74 / 2.43 / 19.1 ms for 10 / 100 / 1k / 10k.

…ecord open questions

Ninth review round, five findings, all correct, and the pattern is now
clear: each prose fix to the key-table, journal and rotation protocol
exposes the next edge. Prose review cannot close that class; a model
can. The ADR now states, as a precondition for acceptance, that the
protocol be written as a state machine and checked for crash
consistency (TLA+ or the Agda kernel beside T-1..T-3), with the four
properties it must hold.

New §9 records what remains open rather than patching it in prose:
duplicate journal keys after a key-first crash; metadata-only
new_content_hash references that migration cannot re-address; locked,
zeroized in-process keys and tables before a shred is final (AV-2);
and the benchmark exclusions. §3 now labels the table row as excluding
the table read, and the table+journal sum as overcounting one
directory fsync.

The two benchmark entry points gain doc comments.

…round-ten questions

Two corrections to text that was wrong as written:
- The acceptance precondition's invariant "no blob without an openable
  key" contradicts shredding itself (a shredded blob has none). It now
  reads: every live blob has an openable key and every shredded blob
  has none.
- §3 compared the measured table-reseal portion (26 ms) with the full
  16 MiB overwrite (124 ms) as if it were the complete shred. It now
  says the figures do not establish that a complete shred beats
  overwriting at any size, and leaves that to E5.

Recorded in §9 rather than patched into prose: never re-seal under a
pending key on retry; the migration marker must be durably written
before any migration mutation; and two benchmark baselines that are not
like for like (flat vs two-level blob layout; obliterate_file's extra
read-and-hash versus the manager path).

// an empty journal. Merging the rows is in the table row.

P2 Badge Measure journal rows in the table reseal

When the journal contains newly stored live keys, these decrypted rows must be appended to the next table and encrypted and written with it. However, fold_journal only builds rows and discards it, while final_open_drop_reseal_table always reseals only the original table minus one row. Consequently, adding the reported benchmark rows omits the reseal and write cost of up to journal_len * TABLE_ROW bytes—for example, all 10,000 rows in the largest journal case—so the documented final-shred increment is understated. Feed these rows into the timed table reseal or benchmark the combined operation.


*** So a migrated store is never reported as unexposed. `jk status` reports "plaintext from before migration may persist on the medium, its snapshots and backups", permanently, for any store that ever held plaintext blobs.

P2 Badge Preserve legacy-exposure state after cleanup

Once migration finishes, §6 removes the incomplete-migration marker, but this permanent warning still requires jk status to distinguish a migrated store from one created sealed. After old references are rewritten and the proposed default redacts legacy records, those stores need not retain any other observable distinction, so a later invocation has no state from which to produce this warning. Persist a separate, durable ever_contained_plaintext flag that is set before migration and never removed; the resumable migration marker can then still be cleared on completion.


write_synced(dir.path(), name, &wrapped);

P2 Badge Share the directory sync in the per-key benchmark

For the 1,000-key comparison, every key file is written in the same directory, but write_synced performs a directory fsync inside every loop iteration. A crash-durable batch can fsync each temporary file, rename all 1,000 files, and then fsync their common directory once, just as §2 batches the table and journal publications. This benchmark therefore charges 999 unnecessary directory fsyncs, which can dominate its reported 1.2 seconds and does not support the conclusion that the per-key layout is unworkable. Use a write helper that defers the directory sync until all renames complete.
