# WARDEN-WP-0006 — NetKingdom Alignment and Operational Access Stewardship

**Scope:** Close gaps identified in `history/2026-06-17-intent-scope-assessment.md`
between INTENT (operational access steward for NetKingdom security) and SCOPE
(shipped SSH CLI only). Documentation and alignment first; code changes limited
to optional CLI ergonomics.

**Out of scope:** flex-auth integration implementation, OpenBao cluster deploy,
universal credential broker, net-kingdom INTENT.md rewrite.

---

## Goal

After this workplan, a development worker or agent can:

1. Read ops-warden material and know **which NetKingdom subsystem** handles each
   credential type.
2. Obtain **SSH certs** via documented actor patterns and production OpenBao path.
3. Find ops-warden recognized in **NetKingdom responsibility/platform** docs as
   the operational SSH credential authority.
