tegwick 1237cc767b Complete WARDEN-WP-0012 routing scenario playbooks
Add platform-secret playbooks for issue-core ingestion, OpenRouter llm-connect,
object-storage STS, and database dynamic credentials. Extend the routing catalog
with draft entries and implement `warden route list --stale` for quarterly drift
review. Document the review cadence in AccessRouting and mark the workplan finished.

OpenRouter API Key — llm-connect in activity-core

Date: 2026-06-24
Workplan: WARDEN-WP-0012 T4
Catalog: openrouter-llm-connect (draft until OpenBao path ships)

Pointer playbook for LLM provider credentials consumed by llm-connect in the activity-core namespace. ops-warden issues SSH certs only — API keys are an OpenBao → Kubernetes Secret action owned by railiance-platform and activity-core deployment repos.


Owners

Concern Owner repo Authoritative doc
OpenBao path and ESO delivery railiance-platform docs/openbao.md — path convention
llm-connect K8s overlay and smoke llm-connect deploy/k8s/activity-core-llm-connect/README.md
activity-core runtime config (LLM_CONNECT_URL) activity-core llm-connect/docs/activity-core-llm-endpoint.md

Do not ask ops-warden

warden route show openbao-api-key --json
warden route show openrouter-llm-connect --json   # after promotion

OPENROUTER_API_KEY must not appear in Git, State Hub, workplans, logs, or chat.


Expected custody shape

Documented platform path convention (coordinate before writing secrets):

platform/workloads/activity-core/llm-connect/llm-connect-provider-secrets

Property name: OPENROUTER_API_KEY

Until the OpenBao path is provisioned, operators may create the K8s Secret directly for pilot smoke (llm-connect README) — that is a bootstrap bridge, not the long-term custody model.

Promotion gate: catalog entry stays status: draft until the OpenBao path exists and ESO (or approved equivalent) delivers the Secret in cluster.


Worker checklist

1. Confirm need

  • Consumer is llm-connect in activity-core namespace (not a generic OpenRouter client)
  • Default profile uses provider=openrouter (llm-connect/docs/activity-core-llm-endpoint.md)
  • flex-auth policy applies if your tenant requires pre-approval for secret reads

2. Platform path (production)

  • Path provisioned under platform/workloads/activity-core/...
  • Workload KV read policy scoped to llm-connect service account
  • ExternalSecret syncs to Secret llm-connect-provider-secrets

3. Deployment wiring

  • kubectl apply -k deploy/k8s/activity-core-llm-connect (llm-connect repo)
  • Deployment mounts provider Secret; env provides OPENROUTER_API_KEY
  • activity-core sets LLM_CONNECT_URL to in-cluster service URL

4. Smoke

# From llm-connect repo — cluster smoke after apply
kubectl -n activity-core rollout status deployment/llm-connect
# See deploy/k8s/activity-core-llm-connect/README.md for endpoint smoke script

5. Rotation

  • Update OpenBao KV value
  • ESO refresh or rollout restart llm-connect Deployment
  • Run cluster smoke; confirm activity-core triage profile still reaches provider

Owner-repo next actions

Repo Action
railiance-platform Provision OpenBao path + policy for activity-core llm-connect
llm-connect Maintain K8s overlay and document Secret key names
activity-core Set LLM_CONNECT_URL and triage profile after llm-connect is live
