# Phase 10 — Canonical State Audit

Gate 1. Performed before any Phase 10 production/launch work, per Phase 10's own explicit
requirement — Chase has been developing from two workstations, so nothing downstream was
started until canonical state was actually verified, not assumed.

## Baseline

- Starting SHA (as reported at the end of Phase 9.1): `a4c00580...` (full:
  `a4c0058f8c3d9612f1d30508626fa5be00431fa7`).
- This workstation's `HEAD` and `origin/main`, confirmed via `git fetch --all --prune`, are
  **both exactly `a4c0058f8c3d9612f1d30508626fa5be00431fa7`** — this workstation is fully
  up to date with canonical Gitea, and canonical Gitea has not moved since Phase 9.1 ended.

## 1.1 Current workstation state

- Branch: `main`. Working tree: clean (`git status --short` — no output).
- `git remote -v`: `origin` → `gitea:ced4568/rootnode-academy.git` (fetch + push) — canonical,
  no GitHub `kubekosh` remote configured in this clone at all.
- `git branch -vv`: `* main a4c0058 [origin/main]` — tracking correctly, no divergence.
- No stashes, no dangling work, no uncommitted changes.

## 1.2 Remote audit

`git ls-remote --heads --tags origin` shows exactly one branch (`main`, at `a4c0058`) and four
tags (`v0.4.1-preprod`, `v0.5.0-student-auth`, `v0.5.3-enrollment-comms`, `v0.6.0-root-v1`) — no
other branches, no unexpected experimental branches, no stale branches to reconcile.
`git log --all --oneline` and `git log --oneline` both return exactly **184** commits — every
commit reachable in this repository is reachable from `main`. **There is no orphaned or
unmerged work sitting in Gitea outside `main`.**

## 1.3 Second-PC reconciliation

This execution environment has no access to Chase's other workstation. Gitea's own state (§1.2)
proves there is no SECOND branch or unpushed-but-fetchable ref waiting anywhere on the remote —
if work exists only on the other PC, it is **local and unpushed there**, not merely unmerged
here. This is not automatically resolvable from this side.

**Exact commands for Chase to run on PC #2** to prove no local-only RootNode work is stranded:

```bash
cd ~/Dev/Gitea/ced4568/rootnode-academy   # or wherever the clone lives on that machine
git status                                 # must show "nothing to commit, working tree clean"
git branch -vv                             # every branch should show [origin/main] with no
                                            # "ahead" count, or should not exist at all
git fetch origin
git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline        # MUST be empty — any output here is unpushed work
git stash list                             # should be empty, or each entry reviewed manually
```

If `git log origin/main..HEAD --oneline` on PC #2 produces ANY output, that is real, unpushed
work — it must be reviewed and pushed (or explicitly discarded by Chase's own decision) before
being considered part of canonical state. **This audit cannot rule that out from here — it can
only confirm Gitea itself has no evidence of it.**

## 1.4 Expected milestone audit

Every phase SHA Phase 10's own authorization listed (Phase 2A through Phase 9.1 final) was
verified present in canonical history, in full agreement with the commit message labels:

| Phase | SHA (verified) | Commit subject |
|---|---|---|

| 2B | `08ff531` | docs(phase2b): document admin and platform-data architecture |
| 3A | `4069292` | docs(phase3a): document production identity architecture |
| 3B | `45a147a` | docs(phase3b): document the learning and assessment engine |
| 4 | `bf1e1b5` | docs(phase4): production infrastructure documentation + runbooks |
| 4.1 | `5bc0743` | docs(phase4.1): pre-production hardening documentation |
| 5A | `896c230` | docs(phase5a): student identity and remote classroom documentation |

| 9.1 (final) | `a4c0058` | docs(stripe): document real Stripe TEST-mode validation results |

**Phase 9.5 — NOT FOUND.** No commit, branch, or tag matching "Phase 9.5" or a founder-pricing
document exists anywhere in this repository's reachable history (`git log --all` contains no
such commit), and no `docs/ROOTNODE_PRICING_AND_OFFERS_V1.md` file exists at any point in
history. This exact discrepancy was already surfaced during Phase 9.1 (Chase explained it was
done on the desktop PC, separate from this laptop) — §1.3's commands above are how to confirm
whether that work is sitting unpushed on PC #2, or whether it was a decision made directly rather
than a planned commit. **The founder-approved pricing itself ($399 launch / $449 standard,
39900/44900 cents, "Founding Cohort," paid in full, no deposit) was given directly by Chase in
conversation and used for Phase 9.1's real Stripe validation and this phase's documentation — it
did not require a committed document to act on, and is not invented by this phase.**

## 1.5 File/artifact audit

Searched all tracked files for secret-shaped filenames (`.env*`, `.local`, `credential`,
`secret`, `.key`, `.pem`, `.p12`, service-account JSON). Every match is a legitimate
template/placeholder or educational-content reference, never a real runtime secret:

- Course content (`content/root/root-07-.../m02-configuration-and-secrets/`) — teaching material
  about Kubernetes Secrets, no real secret data.
- `infra/ansible/roles/*/templates/*.env.j2` — Ansible Jinja2 templates referencing
  `{{ vault_* }}` variables (values live in an Ansible Vault-encrypted file, never plaintext in
  git).
- `infra/environments/{production,staging}/*.env.template` — checked-in templates with explicit
  `__REPLACE_WITH_...__`/`__REPLACE_openssl_rand_hex_32__` placeholders, never real values.
- `platform/provisioner/.env.example`, migration `017_student_credentials.sql` (schema, not
  data), `scenarios/data/*secret*.json` (fake Kubernetes lab-scenario fixtures).

`.gitignore` correctly excludes `.env` (blanket pattern) — confirmed via `git status
--porcelain --ignored`: `platform/.env` and `platform/provisioner/.env` (both containing real
local secrets) are ignored, never tracked.

## 1.6 Secret history audit

Searched the **entire** git history (`git log --all -p`, pickaxe search `-S`) for:
`sk_test_`, `sk_live_`, `whsec_`, `BEGIN PRIVATE KEY`, `BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY`, `"private_key"`,
and a broad regex for any `sk_test_`/`sk_live_`/`whsec_`-prefixed string of realistic secret
length (20+ trailing characters).

**Result: clean. No real secret value has ever been committed.** Every `sk_test_`/`sk_live_`/
`whsec_` hit is a code guard-clause literal (e.g. `.startsWith('sk_test_')`) or documentation
prose referencing the prefix pattern, from this session's own Phase 9.1 commits — never a full
key. The one `"private_key"` hit (`b38c46a`, Phase 5C) is a code comment showing an EXAMPLE
env-var invocation with a `"..."` placeholder, not a real value. No `BEGIN PRIVATE KEY`/`BEGIN
RSA PRIVATE KEY` header appears anywhere in history. **No credential rotation is required.**

## 1.7 Current runtime secret state (this workstation)

`platform/.env` (gitignored, never committed) holds real local-dev values for
`PROVISIONER_SHARED_SECRET`, `INTEGRATION_SHARED_SECRET`, `GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON`,
`EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS`, `GOOGLE_DELEGATED_USER` — all pre-existing from earlier phases. Its
`PAYMENT_PROVIDER`/`STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`/`STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` lines are present but **blank**,
per this repo's own "set only for a deliberate session, unset again after" convention (matching
`EMAIL_PROVIDER`'s established pattern) — confirmed after Phase 9.1's real-Stripe validation
session ended. See `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` for the full inventory and centralization
status.

## Discrepancies found

1. **"Phase 9.5" has no canonical commit** — see §1.4. Not a blocker (the pricing decision was
   usable directly), but flagged so it isn't assumed to exist in code review later.
2. **Chase's Phase 10 authorization states "Chase has ALREADY created RootNode Academy" as an
   Infisical project** on `infisical.cedshomelab.com` — verified NOT present. The organization
   ("Ceds HomeLab") has exactly six existing projects (Core Infrastructure, Hermes Fleet,
   Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network Service), none named RootNode Academy or
   similar. See `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` §"Project status" for the full finding and what
   Chase needs to do (create the project via the Infisical web dashboard — the CLI has no
   non-interactive project-creation command).
3. **No dedicated production server/Proxmox VM has been provisioned** — `infra/terraform/` has
   no `terraform.tfvars` (only `.example`) and no state file; `infra/ansible/group_vars/
   production.yml` still holds literal placeholders (`__PLATFORM_VM_IP__`,
   `__LAB_HOST_VM_IP__`, `__PROXMOX_HOST_MGMT_CIDR__`). See `docs/
  PHASE10_PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md`.

## Remediation performed

None required at the git/history level (nothing was broken). Documentation created/updated to
record all of the above (this document, plus `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` and `docs/
PHASE10_PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md`).

## Conclusion

**Canonical Gitea state is internally consistent, fully verified against every claimed
milestone, and free of any committed secret.** The only open item from this gate is Chase
running the PC #2 commands in §1.3 to positively rule out stranded local work there — Gitea's
own history gives no reason to believe any exists, but this audit cannot see that machine
directly.
