jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 17eed6e8ae fix(keycloak-passkey): bind only on git's say-so; protect real sub-flows; screen the requirement PUT by body id
Review findings on the passkey reconciler, fixed:

1. HIGH - the bind was automatic and rollback did not stick. A git-declared switch,
   `bind-browser-flow` in passkey-desired-state.yaml, now decides whether pass 3 may
   PUT browserFlow. Default "false": build + verify the candidate (or reuse a verified
   one), log WOULD BIND <alias>, never touch the binding - including after an earlier
   bind, so an operator's rollback sticks, and a hand-edited bound candidate is left
   alone rather than shadowed by an -r2 build. "true" binds as before. The renderer
   carries the one hand-edited line through and --check refuses anything but the
   quoted strings "true"/"false". --no-bind can only narrow it.

2. HIGH - the protected-subtree guard read `alias` on sub-flow rows. Keycloak 26.0.6
   AuthenticationManagementResource.recurseExecutions sets displayName =
   flowRef.getAlias() and flowId on a sub-flow row and never sets alias (alias is the
   CONFIG alias on authenticator rows), so the protected set was only the top-level
   alias. Sub-flows are now named by displayName (getFlows() lists top-level flows
   only, so flowId cannot be resolved through it); a sub-flow row without one leaves
   the subtree undetermined and the flow pass fail-closed. The selftest stub now
   returns 26.0.6-shaped rows, and a real run is asserted to refuse writes into
   browser-mfa-forms and browser-mfa-conditional-otp.

3. MEDIUM - PUT /flows/{alias}/executions was screened on the path alias only, but
   updateExecutions resolves the execution realm-wide by body id. body.id is now
   screened against the protected ids AND required to be in the tree this run is
   building (recorded from the build's own readback); the config POST is held to the
   same build scope; and the body may carry only id/requirement/priority (the same
   handler renames any flow named by flowId).

4. Stale "audit-only" docs rewritten (platform-config kustomization, chainsaw test,
   desired-state header and its renderer template, README) to describe what ships.

5. backoffLimit 0 (a retried deterministic build failure burns the candidate-alias
   budget); the stale "Renovate does not manage image: tags" comment corrected and the
   image pinned by index digest.

6. The ~160-line header duplicated in the YAML and the script is now kept once, in the
   script, with a short pointer above it.

Selftest: 259 assertions (was 216). mutations.py: 40 injected regressions (was 30),
including one per finding above, all caught.

# L0 static check (offline, no cluster) — keycloak-passkey-reconciler
# Serves: R-IDP-03 ("Identity config (realms, clients, groups, roles) is declarative."
# — spec docs/15-identity-and-access.md)
# R-IDP-04 ("IdP secrets SOPS-encrypted; MFA available."
# — spec docs/15-identity-and-access.md)
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS — THE REALM IMPORT IS A ONE-SHOT THAT FAILS OPEN
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# platform/keycloak/keycloak-realm-import.yaml declares the WebAuthn PASSWORDLESS
# policy and a restructured `browser-mfa` browser flow. Measured on prod 2026-10-18,
# hours after that declaration merged:
#
# kubectl -n keycloak get keycloakrealmimport homelab -o jsonpath='{.status}'
# Done=True Started=False HasErrors=False
#
# A KeycloakRealmImport is a ONE-SHOT. Once it rests at Done=True the operator never
# re-runs it, so every realm-level field and every flow declared after the FIRST
# import is inert — in git, applied by Flux, reported Ready, reaching the realm
# never. The same shape as the 2026-09-06 client-secret incident (12 prod clients
# holding the literal `(env:...)` placeholder behind an entirely green cluster), and
# the same fix: a level-triggered reconciler. This check is the static half.
#
# THE RECONCILER HOLDS WRITE ACCESS TO THE IDENTITY PROVIDER. That is the reason this
# check is unusually thorough about its BLAST RADIUS rather than only its behaviour.
#
# GIVEN the repository as authored,
# THEN (1) THE DESIRED STATE IS DERIVED, NOT DECLARED TWICE: the reconciler's input
# (platform/keycloak/passkey-desired-state.yaml) is GENERATED from the realm
# import by ci/render-keycloak-passkey-policy.py, and this check RUNS the
# renderer with --check, so a hand edit that makes the two disagree is
# unmergeable. The RP ID is the sharpest case: it is baked into every passkey
# at enrolment and can NEVER be re-keyed, so two declarations that can skew
# about the domain is an unrecoverable-credential bug, not a cosmetic one.
# (2) BOTH FILES ARE RENDERED BY THE SAME FLUX KUSTOMIZATION.
# postBuild.substituteFrom is per-Kustomization, so a split would let the
# ${BASE_DOMAIN} token in the realm import and the one in the desired state
# resolve to two different values — and an RP ID mismatch invalidates every
# enrolled passkey with no error the user can act on.
# (3) THE DESIRED STATE USES NO SUBSTITUTION TOKEN THE REALM IMPORT DOES NOT, and
# declares no realm key outside the reconciler's write surface.
# (4) THE TWO WRITE SURFACES AGREE: the renderer's exported policy keys and the
# reconciler's POLICY_FIELDS are the SAME tuple. If they drifted, the renderer
# could emit a key the reconciler refuses (fail-closed forever) or the
# reconciler could accept a key the renderer never emits (dead surface).
# (5) THE RECONCILER MANIFEST IS SAFE AND WIRED: reconciled from BOTH cluster
# entrypoints, mounts exactly the ConfigMaps its code defaults to, carries NO
# ServiceAccount token, and contains no dollar sign (it ships inside a
# SUBSTITUTED Flux path, where an unescaped dollar-brace expansion is
# rewritten before any container runs).
# (6) THE CURRENTLY BOUND FLOW IS STRUCTURALLY UNWRITABLE — asserted against the
# SOURCE, not the comments. The flow converges BLUE/GREEN (build under a new
# alias, verify, flip browserFlow in one atomic PUT), so flow-create and
# execution-add endpoints ARE on the allow-list and their presence is not the
# hazard. What is asserted instead: nothing is DELETABLE (the superseded flow
# is the rollback target); the execution- and config-id-scoped write endpoints
# stay off the list because they carry no flow alias and so cannot be screened;
# no required-action write reaches any alias but the one named literally; and
# the guard the allow-list CANNOT express exists in the source and is wired
# into the single request choke point, FAIL-CLOSED until the live binding has
# been read. That last one is what the whole design rests on: a reconciler that
# half-rewrites the BOUND browser flow is a total SSO outage on a loop, and
# this repo has had one (2026-09-06).
# (6b) THE BIND IS GIT'S DECISION: the desired-state ConfigMap carries
# bind-browser-flow as exactly "true" or "false", the script reads it from the
# SAME mount, and the CronJob passes no flag that could widen it. With "false"
# (the default) the reconciler builds and verifies but never PUTs browserFlow,
# so an operator's rollback sticks; the selftest proves that end to end.
# (7) THE SIBLING RECONCILER IS UNTOUCHED: client-secret-reconciler.yaml's
# allow-list is NOT widened by this work. Its --selftest asserts it refuses
# /users, /groups, /roles, /authentication and the whole-realm endpoint, and
# its guarantee that prod's real user and the media-users / platform-admins /
# viewers groups survive every run must stay LITERALLY true.
# (8) THE RECONCILER'S BEHAVIOUR IS PROVEN, NOT ASSERTED: this check EXTRACTS the
# script from the ConfigMap and executes its `--selftest`, which drives the
# real code paths against an in-process stub Keycloak that MODELS the three
# Keycloak 26.0.6 behaviours that bite — the RpEntityName gate on the
# passwordless policy, the all-or-nothing policy rebuild that defaults every
# omitted key, and the required-action representation replace.
# (8b) AND THAT PROOF IS FALSIFIABLE: mutations.py injects plausible regressions
# one at a time and requires --selftest to CATCH every one. A passing suite
# proves nothing if it cannot fail, and "reported success while the realm was
# broken" is the exact failure this component exists to end.
# AND (9) THIS CHECK IS LOAD-BEARING: it DECLARES
# `conformance.home.k3s/scope: whole-repo` so ci/l0.sh runs it unconditionally
# via --include-scope, ci/gate.sh blocks the merge when the l0 stage fails, and
# ci/touched-requirements.sh maps platform/keycloak/ to these requirement IDs.
# An unreferenced test is precisely the "looks applied and isn't" failure this
# repo keeps hitting.
#
# NOT proven here (named honestly, in the style of the sibling L0 checks):
# - that the LIVE realm's policy, enrolment action or browser flow match git. That is
# cluster state. The reconciler's own `--audit` mode is the read-only probe for it
# and is what an L2 test should run; no such L2 test is added by this change, so the
# live realm is UNVERIFIED by CI.
# - that the declared browser flow actually WORKS as a login path. Nothing offline can
# prove that a passkey ceremony completes, that the ALTERNATIVE fork degrades to the
# password form, or that a platform-admin is still asked for TOTP. Those need a real
# browser against a real realm.
# - that the reconciler's first real run against prod will succeed. The flow is built
# through five admin-API endpoints whose request shapes were read from the 26.0.6
# source but never exercised against a live Keycloak.
# - that the admin credential decrypts to a usable password. Key PRESENCE is checkable
# offline; the plaintext is not, and must not be.
# - that the CronJob's image can be pulled or its schedule fires.

# ===== (6) THE BOUND FLOW IS STRUCTURALLY UNWRITABLE — asserted against the SOURCE

# under a NEW, unused alias, verifies it, then flips the realm's browserFlow in ONE
# atomic PUT. It therefore NEEDS flow-create and execution-add endpoints, so unlike the
# first design of this check the mere presence of a flow write is no longer the thing to
# forbid. What must hold instead is narrower and stronger:
#
# (a) nothing may be DELETED, ever — the superseded flow is the rollback target;
# (b) the single-execution and config-edit endpoints stay off the list — requirements
# are set through the flow-scoped endpoint, which the guard in (d) screens;
# (c) no required-action write may reach any alias but the one named LITERALLY;
# (d) and the guard the allow-list CANNOT express must exist in the source: a
# method-aware screen that refuses any flow write targeting the CURRENTLY BOUND
# flow's subtree, FAIL-CLOSED until that binding has been read.
#
# (d) is the load-bearing one. Without it the reconciler could mutate the flow users are
# logging in through, and a run dying mid-restructure would leave a HALF-BUILT FLOW BOUND
# AS THE LOGIN PATH for Grafana, Gitea, Nextcloud, Headlamp, Semaphore, PiHole, Crafty,
# the *arr stack AND kubectl. This repo has already had a total SSO outage from a realm
# change (2026-09-06).
