secret.rs

//! Secrets: where the SSH host key and the issuer private key live when there
//! is no home directory (the secret-store seam).
//!
//! # The inventory is two keys, and the header used to claim a third
//!
//! Measured 2026-08-10 across every non-test caller in the tree:
//! [`SSH_HOST_KEY`] and [`ISSUER_PRIVATE_KEY`]. That is all of it. This header
//! said "the admin bootstrap material" until then, and it had not been true
//! since the bootstrap admin started leaving with a certificate instead of a
//! stored token.
//!
//! # Where an implementation of this lives now
//!
//! Not behind `RepoStore::secrets()`, which is deleted, and not in a storage
//! engine. The server's implementation is `gunnar_core::RedbSecretStore`, a
//! table in the same `control.redb` as the catalog and the identity table. This
//! crate keeps the **trait** — because it is the vocabulary
//! `gunnar_core::SealedSecretStore` decorates and the conformance suite checks —
//! plus [`crate::mem::MemSecretStore`] as the control and
//! [`crate::arrow_log::ArrowLogSecretStore`] as the legacy store the migration
//! reads out of.
//!
//! The trait stays here rather than moving to `gunnar-core` for one hard
//! reason and one soft one. The hard one: `arrow_log.rs` implements it, and
//! `gunnar-store` cannot depend on `gunnar-core` — that edge runs the other
//! way. The soft one: it is a contract with three implementations and a
//! conformance check, which is what this crate is for.

/// encoded (the certificate-identity plan, `gunnar_core::issuer`).
///
/// A key that can mint any user is the one secret whose loss is total — an
/// attacker holding it does not break authentication, they issue themselves an
/// administrator. The control database holds the issuer *certificate*, which is
/// public; this names the half that is not.
///
/// Until 2026-08-10 that separation was also a separation of **files** — the
/// certificate in `control.redb`, the key in an Arrow log inside `control.git`.
/// It is not any more: both are in `control.redb`, in different tables. The
/// property that actually protects the key was never the file boundary, it is
/// the seal: the server writes this only through
/// `gunnar_core::SealedSecretStore`, so what reaches any backend is ciphertext
/// under a KEK that lives in `secrets.kek` beside the database and is not in
/// it. A copied `control.redb` still cannot issue a certificate.

/// Key under which **the transparency log's signing key** is stored, OpenSSH
/// private-key PEM (`gunnar_core::transparency`).
///
/// Its own key and not the issuer's, deliberately. The issuer signs
/// *certificates*, which say who somebody is; this signs *tree heads*, which say
/// what the log held. Sharing one key would mean that compromising the log's
/// signer also mints administrators — and it would make revoking one of the two
/// jobs impossible without revoking the other.
///
/// ed25519 and `sshsig`, because that is the one signature format in this
/// repository: commits, control-plane challenges and now tree heads. A client
/// can check a tree head with `ssh-keygen -Y verify` and no gunnar at all.
///
/// Sealed under the KEK like every other secret, so a copied `control.redb`
/// cannot sign a tree head that a verifier would believe.
pub const TRANSPARENCY_LOG_KEY: &str = "transparency/log_ed25519";

/// **The outbound webhook signing key.** A fourth key, minted on first use and
/// sealed under the KEK, whose PUBLIC half is what a webhook receiver pins to
/// verify a delivery with `ssh-keygen -Y verify`. Its own key and not the
/// issuer's or the log's: signing a delivery is a different job from issuing a
/// certificate or attesting a push, and a key per job means a compromise of
/// one is a compromise of one.
pub const WEBHOOK_KEY: &str = "webhook/signing_ed25519";

/// **The actor-ticket signing key.** A fifth key, minted on first use by the
/// METERED appliance alone (`ServerStores::actor_ticket_key`) and sealed under
/// the KEK like the rest. Its PUBLIC half is what the appliance advertises over
/// `Billing.ApplianceIdentity` and what the other side of that seam pins to
/// check a ticket the appliance minted.
///
/// # Why it is not the SSH host key
///
/// Reusing the host key would have cost nothing to write and is exactly the
/// kind of thing that is fine until it is not. The host key's signatures are
/// produced inside the SSH protocol's own framing and the `sshsig` envelope,
/// both of which carry a domain separator; a raw Ed25519 signature over a JSON
/// document carries none. One key signing in two formats, one of which has no
/// domain separation at the signature layer, is a cross-protocol confusion
/// waiting for the day somebody makes one format's bytes parseable as the
/// other's. A key per job also means a compromise of one is a compromise of
/// one — the same sentence the four keys above are each here for.
///
/// # Why it costs no installer pin
///
/// It is minted AT RUNTIME into the secret store this box already has, exactly
/// as the webhook key is. The alternative that was weighed —
/// shipping the key, or its configuration, in the image — would have put a new
/// value into two separate manifests that pin the installer, and a key that can
/// only be rolled by re-cutting an ISO is a key nobody rolls. Nothing about
/// this one reaches the image.
///
/// The name says what it signs and not what it is for: a store this name lands
/// in is present in every build, and only the metered one ever mints under it.

/// **The forge-attestation key** (GHUNT-19): a sixth key, minted on first use
/// (`ServerStores::forge_attest_key`) and sealed under the KEK like the rest.
/// It signs a forge event a person made from an identity-core session that
/// stepped up, which holds no key of theirs: gunnar's word that the session's
/// fresh passkey touch stood behind the event, the actor named. Its own key and

/// rest, so the twin copies it and a restore brings the same key back. It signs the
/// merge and squash commits gunnar writes (an SSH signature, namespace `git`), so a
