When a passport is revoked, every credential it holds here dies in one
transaction: tokens revoked, grants revoked. A revocation that takes effect
'eventually' is not a revocation.
Avoids two traps that each cost a sibling service a subscription that looked
wired and never once delivered:
1. strip the 'sha256=' prefix before comparing — comparing the decorated
header against a bare digest returns 401 forever
2. HMAC the RAW REQUEST BYTES, never a re-serialised body — JSON.stringify of
a parsed body reorders keys and changes whitespace, so the digest never
matches what the sender signed
Both fail silently from the sender's side: Eternitas records a delivery, the
receiver records a rejection, nobody notices for weeks.
Unset secret REFUSES rather than accepts — accepting unverified instructions
about identity is worse than missing them. And it never acknowledges a
revocation it could not apply; a 200 there is a security hole reporting success.

Gitea reports the epoch for 'not yet synced', which arithmetic turns into a
56-year lag and a confident 'degraded'. Collapsing those two states is how a
backup that was never made gets read as a backup that is merely stale — which
is the more dangerous direction, because 'behind' sounds survivable.

I-4 said 'never a one-way door' and had no implementation. Now it does.
- ensure the GitHub counterpart exists (idempotent), then ask Gitea to keep
it in step with sync_on_commit=True. An hourly timer means an hour of work
can be the thing you lose, and that window is invisible until it costs you.
- mirror status reports what is TRUE including 'we do not know'. An
unconfigured mirror reports unconfigured, NEVER healthy — same posture as
me-fleet.ts refusing to say 'online' when it only knows 'registered'.
- lag past the threshold is a P2, not a shrug. A mirror nobody checks is a
belief, not a backup, and this ecosystem already lost 37 days to a canary
everyone assumed was fine.
Gitea owns the replication rather than a hand-rolled loop, because a background
job that fails silently is exactly how the registry's integrity refresh spent
its entire life calling a 404 and incrementing a counter instead of raising.
Also fixes a real bug I had written myself: list_versions derived the Gitea
namespace from the CALLER, which is correct only while the caller is the owner
and addresses the wrong namespace the moment a collaborator asks — surfacing as
'not found', which is the hardest kind of bug to see. Now derived from the repo,
with a test that keeps it that way.

'There are 1 saved versions' is exactly the sloppiness the vocabulary law
exists to catch. Copy is design material, not decoration.
G5.9 records something the live test surfaced: a repo created through
X-Service-Token lands in a 'u-system' namespace because the service caller has
no identity of its own. Correct for /internal plumbing, WRONG for anything a
person owns — the portal must pass an acting user and this cell must refuse to
create a user-owned project without one. Until then service-created repos are
ops artifacts, not customer data.

Gitea rejects a null password with a bare 400. These accounts are never
password-authenticated — humans arrive via OIDC, agents via passport-bound
scoped tokens, local password sign-in is disabled server-wide — so we generate
a credential that is never stored, returned or recoverable. An unusable
password is safer than a blank one or a shared default.

The plane Windy Cloud does not have. Verified 2026-08-11: routes/storage.py and
its models contain ZERO occurrences of share/permission/acl/collaborat/seat/
version/snapshot/history/revision. This fills a hole rather than bolting onto
something that already had one.
- repos: create/list/get, repo_type required (I-7), reserved slugs, Gitea
reached ONLY through the membrane client (I-1)
- grants: human identity OR agent passport, exactly one enforced by a database
CHECK constraint; agent grants expire in 90 days by default
- versions: history in words a person recognises — no 'commit', no 'branch',
no 'repository' in any user-facing string (D-9/I-9), with a test that greps
the speak strings and fails on developer vocabulary
- private repos 404 rather than 403, so a stranger cannot learn one exists
Auth: three first-class caller classes (human OIDC / agent EPT / internal
service token), NO fourth, and no bypass env var — copied deliberately from the
desktop control server, the ecosystem's best Principle-#5 artifact.
G3.6 status-code law implemented: 400 and 404 REFUSE, 429/5xx retry then REFUSE.
A sibling maps 400/429 to 'unreachable' and soft-ALLOWS, which is inducible —
an attacker who wants the check skipped only has to make it rate-limit itself.
A test asserts resolve_passport has exactly one return path.
And I-8 applied to ourselves: G3.2's JWKS verifier does not exist yet, so the
human token path REFUSES in production rather than accepting an unverified JWT.
An unverified JWT is an authentication bypass, not a shortcut.

cloudflared binds 127.0.0.1:2000 on the HOST. This process runs in a container
whose only route to the host is the bridge gateway (172.17.0.1), where nothing
is listening — so the check was permanently red regardless of what the tunnel
was actually doing.
Binding the metrics endpoint wider would have fixed the probe and made a
metrics bind failure capable of taking down ingress. That is a worse trade than
losing one row on a dashboard.
The check is not silently dropped: /health/full now carries a 'not_checked_here'
map naming the tunnel and where its health actually lives (systemd
windygit-tunnel). An observer should never have to wonder whether a missing
check means healthy or means forgotten.

app.windygit.com / api.windygit.com / models.windygit.com are serving over
HTTPS with ZERO inbound ports open on Grant's network.
- tunnel 4e856c5d, 4 registered edge connections, systemd-managed and bounded
- three proxied single-level CNAMEs (Free Universal SSL covers them; a
two-level name would need ACM and would die in the TLS handshake)
- services bound to 127.0.0.1 with configurable host ports — Veron 1 is
Grant's workstation and 3000/3300 belong to other projects
- docs/RUNBOOK-VERON.md
I-12 PROVEN IN PRODUCTION: /version reports source=baked with a sha equal to
the deployed HEAD.
Also fixed: the tunnel health probe targeted localhost from inside a container,
so it was permanently red. A check that is always red is as useless as one that
is always green — it is how a fleet canary goes 37 days dead unnoticed.

Strand G0 complete and VERIFIED against real Postgres, not asserted.
- FastAPI plane, fail-closed provider seams, repair-pointer error taxonomy
- migration 001: all 10 tables incl. repo_type NOT NULL and model_cards (I-7)
- 17 invariant tests, ruff clean, vocabulary audit clean
Two bugs found by RUNNING it that review would not have caught:
1. SQLAlchemy Enum persists .name, not .value — so RepoState.deleted_soft
and CreatedVia.imported would have written labels migration 001 never
declared, failing at runtime rather than at review. Pinned via
values_callable.
2. op.create_table asks each Enum to emit its own CREATE TYPE with no
checkfirst, so the second reference raised DuplicateObject and the
migration died halfway. Types are now created once, referenced with
create_type=False.
Proven live, with the hostile env var set:
- I-12: COMMIT_SHA=deadbeef... in the environment, /version reports real HEAD.
That env pin is the documented root cause of nine sibling services
misreporting their commit; here it is structurally ignored.
- I-8: three unconfigured providers -> status degraded, HTTP 503, each saying
'refusing to report healthy'. No mock, no false green.
- G0.4: upgrade -> downgrade -> upgrade round-trip clean (10 -> 0 -> 10).
