ced4568 74033b4cb8 docs(audit): reconcile Phase 10 findings on Phase 9.5, Infisical, and website pricing
Phase 9.5: reconfirmed no canonical commit exists (broader content search across full history —
still zero hits outside this session's own commits); Chase confirmed the real document lives on
PC #2, unpushed. Not duplicated here per Chase's explicit instruction — he owns bringing it to
canonical Gitea.

Infisical: Phase 10's 'project does not exist' finding was incomplete, not wrong about what it
checked — a proper org-scoped API enumeration (8 projects) still shows no RootNode Academy
project visible to the claude-code-migration machine identity, even though Chase confirms it
exists. Root cause narrowed to a missing per-project access grant (Infisical scopes identity
visibility per-project, separate from org membership) rather than the project not existing.
Corrected docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md and docs/PHASE10_CANONICAL_STATE_AUDIT.md accordingly,
with the exact one-step fix (grant the identity access via Project Settings -> Access) and the
identity id needed to do it. No duplicate project was created.

Website pricing: a read-only fetch of rootnodeacademy.com found stale founding-price RANGES that
don't match the exact fixed V1 prices Chase gave directly this phase; Chase confirmed the fixed
prices in this repo's docs are correct and current. Noted as a real discrepancy for his own
awareness, not something this repo's scope covers fixing.

Updated the Phase 10 launch matrix with a Category column (TECHNICAL READY / OWNER DECISION
REQUIRED / EXTERNAL BLOCKER / HARDWARE BLOCKER) distinguishing who needs to act on each
remaining gate. No application code changed — audit/documentation reconciliation only.

# 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2A | `42dfb1c` | docs(phase2a): document gateway and student launch architecture |
| 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 |
| 5B | `1c08a30` | docs(phase5b): self-paced enrollment documentation + website integration contract |
| 5C | `777efd1` | docs(phase5c): enrollment communications documentation + Google Workspace runbook |
| 6A | `fd38d06` | docs(phase6a): document RootNode course foundation |
| 6B | `2db1368` | docs(phase6b): document curriculum expansion |
| 6C | `bd0a10f` | docs(phase6c): pilot readiness standard, pilot curriculum manifest, ROOT 11 scope |
| 6D | `b6516a7` | docs(phase6d): document the ROOT Foundations milestone |
| 6E | `87ad125` | docs(phase6e): document the ROOT Foundations Completion milestone |
| 6F | `d066410` | docs(phase6f): document ROOT_ V1 pilot readiness (tag `v0.6.0-root-v1`) |
| 7 | `df5e39f` | docs(phase7): document the business/product architecture foundation |
| 8 | `788fb19` | docs(phase8): document enrollment operations |
| 9 | `80a5f6e` | docs(phase9): document commerce integration and Winter Break launch readiness |
| 9.1 (prep) | `77fd186` | docs(stripe): document Phase 9.1 blocked status and live-mode readiness checklist |
| 9.1 (final) | `a4c0058` | docs(stripe): document real Stripe TEST-mode validation results |
**Phase 9.5 — NOT FOUND, reconfirmed in Phase 10.1.** 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, searched again in Phase 10.1 with a broader content
search for "FOUNDER APPROVED"/"LOCKED FOR V1"/"Founding Cohort"/`39900` — every hit traces to
this session's own Phase 9.1/10 commits, never a separate Phase 9.5 one), and no
`docs/ROOTNODE_PRICING_AND_OFFERS_V1.md` file exists at any point in history. **Phase 10.1
confirmed directly with Chase**: the real Phase 9.5 pricing document already exists — on PC #2,
not yet brought to canonical Gitea. Per Chase's explicit instruction this phase, no duplicate
was written here; Chase will bring the real document to canonical Gitea himself. §1.3's commands
below are how to confirm/complete that from PC #2. **The founder-approved Winter Break 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 — it did not require a committed document to act on.**
**Website pricing is stale, confirmed with Chase.** A read-only fetch of `rootnodeacademy.com`
during Phase 10.1 found founding-price RANGES (INIT_ $200–250, COMPILE_ $300–360, ROOT_
$550–650, CAMPS_ $250–350 — no specific "Winter Break Camp" named, no ROOT_ tier breakdown) that
do not match the exact fixed V1 prices Chase gave directly this phase. Chase confirmed the exact
fixed prices are the correct, current figures — **the live website has not yet been updated to
the real V1 pricing matrix.** This is the separate, not-RootNode-owned website repo; updating it
is outside this repo's scope, noted here only as a real discrepancy for Chase's own awareness.
## 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, reconfirmed in Phase 10.1. Not a blocker
(the pricing decision was usable directly), and Chase confirmed the real document exists on
PC #2 — it just hasn't reached canonical Gitea yet. Not invented/duplicated here.
2. **Chase's Phase 10.1 authorization states RootNode Academy "ALREADY EXISTS" as an Infisical
project** on `infisical.cedshomelab.com`. Re-investigated in Phase 10.1 with a proper
org-scoped API enumeration (`GET /api/v2/organizations/{orgId}/workspaces`, not just the
CLI's interactive picker, which turned out to be incomplete — it showed 6 projects in Phase
10, the API shows 8 for the same identity). **Still no project named "RootNode Academy" (or
similar) is visible to this machine identity** even with the more complete method — the
full, real list is: Core Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network
Service, Privileged Access Manager, Storage, Synthos Systems. **Root cause is now narrowed,
not fully resolved**: this machine identity's own project list only shows projects it has
been explicitly granted access to (standard Infisical per-project ACL, separate from org
membership) — so the most likely explanation is that "RootNode Academy" exists but this
identity was never added to it, not that it doesn't exist. This cannot be distinguished from
here without either org-owner-level API access or the web dashboard, neither available to
this session. **No duplicate project was created.** See `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` for
the exact one-line fix (grant the `claude-code-migration` identity access to the existing
project via its Project Settings → Access page).
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.
