# ops-warden
SSH Certificate Authority and certificate lifecycle manager for the ops fleet.
Signs short-lived certs for `adm` / `agt` / `atm` actors and exposes the
`cert_command` interface consumed by `ops-bridge` and other tooling.
See `INTENT.md` for direction, `SCOPE.md` for current implementation, and
`wiki/AccessManagementDirective.md` for SSH policy. Latest gap analysis:
`history/2026-06-17-post-wp0007-reassessment.md`.
## Install
```bash
uv sync
uv tool install .
```
Or run without installing:
```bash
uv run warden --help
```
## Quick start (local backend)
```bash
# One-time: generate a CA key (keep mode 600, never commit)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/ops-ca-user -C "Ops SSH User CA" -N ""
# Configure warden (~/.config/warden/warden.yaml) — see wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md
warden inventory add agt-example --type agt --principal agt-example
warden sign agt-example --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
warden status agt-example
warden scorecard
```
Production uses the `vault` backend against OpenBao or HashiCorp Vault (Vault-compatible
SSH secrets engine API). Template: `examples/warden.production.example.yaml`.
See `wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md` and `wiki/OpenBaoSshEngineChecklist.md`.
## Development
```bash
uv sync
uv run pytest # unit tests (integration excluded)
uv run pytest -m integration # requires ssh-keygen in PATH
uv run ruff check .
```
