NET-WP-0020 — OpenBao Unseal Custody Models and SSH Automation Path

Scope: Framework for three OpenBao init/unseal custody models; automation-first development path; console decision points; downstream hooks for SSH engine and host CA automation on greenfield 3-node bootstrap.

Strategy: Start with sops-held-automation for fast unattended test cycles; add attended-ceremony and auto-unseal-transit with blocking gates as production trust increases.

Tasks

T1 — Custody model canon and console gates

priority: high

Console: list + select commands; gates block planned models

T2 — SOPS-held init/unseal automation hooks

id: NET-WP-0020-T02
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "65407eb1-9d89-4158-aed5-4987badd83fc"

SOPS-held init/unseal automation: sso-mfa/bootstrap/openbao-init-unseal.sh (make openbao-init-unseal / openbao-init-unseal-dry-run)
Non-secret evidence flags: openbao_initialized, openbao_post_unseal_verified (emitted on the script's EVIDENCE JSON line)
Integrate with make openbao-configure-initial post-unseal (OPENBAO_RUN_CONFIGURE_INITIAL=1 chains it; default prints the handoff hint)
Wire the helper as an optional phase inside creds-bootstrap-agent.sh (agent-policy blocked automated edits to the credential bootstrap script on 2026-07-02 — operator should add a phase that calls the helper, sets the two state flags in creds-state.yaml, and re-runs encrypt-secrets.sh + commit when secrets/openbao/ was created)
Greenfield live proof: run against a sealed/uninitialized OpenBao on a rebuild slate (current cluster is already initialized+unsealed, so only the status/verify path was live-smoked on 2026-07-02; custody-gate refusal was proven for unselected and attended-ceremony)

2026-07-02: Helper implemented and smoke-tested: dry-run against the live cluster passed the custody gate (sops-held-automation selected) and read initialized=true sealed=false; negative tests proved refusal for unselected and attended-ceremony models. Init material is written only into secrets/openbao/ for age custody; unseal shares travel stdin-to-stdin and never appear in argv or logs.

T3 — Attended ceremony automation profile
