Second pass on the 0.4.1 image, from a clean start with zero denial warnings on
central-a. Both auth negatives are still refused with a byte-identical
Unauthenticated status and detail - 0.4.1 changed what the server writes down,
not what a caller sees - and the no-bearer call now produces a WRN in the same
second it is refused, with the cause attributed. No interval has to elapse for
the first denial to be visible, which is the whole point: a follower with a
mis-rotated token is refused on every sweep, and central now says so immediately.
The rate limit was proven to DEFER rather than drop, not assumed to. The
wrong-bearer call one second later fell inside the 60 s window and produced no
line of its own; the window was waited out and one further wrong-bearer call
issued, whose summary reported TWO wrong-credential denials - the deferred one
plus the new one. Summing the two lines gives exactly the three negatives issued,
correctly attributed by cause. N is a per-window delta, so a reader must sum the
lines rather than quote the last one; that is recorded as a follow-up because it
is the kind of thing an alert gets wrong.
Log hygiene re-run fleet-wide and widened: all eight nodes' docker logs and every
on-disk Serilog file were grepped for the dev token, the dev KEK, all three secret
plaintexts AND both wrong tokens the negatives presented. Zero hits everywhere.
The presented-credential check is deliberate - echoing a rejected credential back
into a log is its own leak and a free oracle, and the new warning counts denials
by cause without carrying any credential material.
Checks 2 and 3 were not repeated: 0.4.1 touches the hub's denial logging and
nothing else - no wire change, no store change, no sweep change. Convergence was
re-smoked instead so the new image is not merely assumed to replicate: a fresh
secret reached both followers in 17 s, byte-identical and decrypt-verified on
both, and the first pass's live secret and tombstone survived the image swap
unchanged on all three nodes.
The first-pass FAIL evidence is kept intact rather than overwritten. The fix only
means anything against the failure it answers, and a gate doc that shows only the
green run cannot be audited.
Residuals stand as recorded: the hub client dials a single endpoint with no
failover, and the central pair does not converge with itself - central-b answered
an authenticated GetManifest with an empty manifest for the whole run. Those are
one question, not two.
4/4. Merging.
