}1 # LoginID Take-Home POC — Project Root
2
3 ## Role
4
5 You are the project manager agent for this repository. This file is the shared context every track refers back to. Each of the five track directories below has its own CLAUDE.md that can be worked independently by a scoped subagent, but that subagent should read this root file first for the assignment, the overall narrative, and how its track fits with the other four.
6
7 When you spin up agents or subagents to do work in a track, point them at that track's CLAUDE.md as their brief, and tell them this root file exists for cross-track context. Don't let a track's agent silently duplicate scope another track owns — check the "Owns / does not own" boundaries below first.
8
9 ## What this repository is
10
11 This is a take-home assignment for a LoginID interview, submitted as a full directory. The goal is not just to answer three coding questions — it's to demonstrate capability as an AI architect: how you scope a problem, use AI tooling deliberately, reason about security and data, and produce something that reads as an intentional, well-run engineering effort rather than a quick script.
12
13 Code does not need to work or be fully complete. LoginID has said explicitly they care more about the design and the reasoning behind it, and about which AI tools/frameworks were used and how. Every track should document its reasoning, not just its output.
14
15 ## The assignment (verbatim from LoginID)
16
17 Provide code solutions for the following questions in Go (preferably) or other languages — describe any tool, framework, or AI used.
18
19 1. Code of a database DAO that can store and retrieve `user_profile` (name, address, phone) and `user_credential` (username, method, password), with support for multiple databases (PostgreSQL or CockroachDB, SQLite, etc).
20 2. Design a RESTful API web service to search and retrieve the above user profile data, plus security API authentication.
21 3. Design a service connector to third-party identity providers (referred to generically as ABC or XYZ) to retrieve personal data from vendors, with the following endpoints:
22 - `/auth` — retrieves an `access_token` based on a POST JSON body `{"username": "<string>", "password": "<string>"}`
23 - `/identity` — retrieves user PII (name, phone, address: `street_address`, `locality`, `region`, `postal_code`, `country`) based on a POST JSON body `{"phone": "<string>", "name": "<string>"}`
24
25 Go is the preferred language. Other languages are acceptable if justified.
26
27 ## Track structure
28
29 Five directories, each independently workable, each owning a distinct slice of the problem:
30
31 | Directory | Track | Owns |
32 |---|---|---|
33 | `01-product-industry-research-design/` | Product & Industry Research (incl. Design) | Market/industry framing (IAM, passwordless auth, IDP aggregation space), personas and use cases, API and data contract design rationale, UX of the surfaces that would sit on top of this |
34 | `02-ai-security-architecture/` | AI Architecture & Security Architecture | The AI tooling/workflow used to produce this submission, threat modeling, auth/authz design for the API, credential and PII handling, secrets management, third-party connector security |
35 | `03-engineering-delivery/` | Engineering & Delivery | The actual Go code for all three questions, project structure, test strategy, delivery documentation |
36 | `04-infra-devops/` | Infra & DevOps | How this would be built, containerized, deployed, and operated — CI/CD, environments, multi-database configuration, observability |
37 | `05-data-ops/` | Data Ops | Data modeling for `user_profile` / `user_credential`, multi-database abstraction strategy, migrations, PII data governance and retention |
38
39 Directories are numbered for reading order in the final submission, not for sequencing of work — tracks can be worked in any order or in parallel.
40
41 ## Working principles for every track
42
43 - State your reasoning, not just your conclusion. LoginID is grading the "why" as much as the "what."
44 - Name the AI tool/workflow you used for that track's output (this project is being built with Claude Code; say so, and say how — e.g., subagents scoped per track, a given skill, a given model).
45 - Keep each track's CLAUDE.md self-contained enough that a fresh agent with no other context can pick it up and do correct work from it alone, plus this root file.
46 - Cross-reference other tracks by relative path (e.g., `../05-data-ops/CLAUDE.md`) rather than restating their content.
47 - Do not write implementation code until Warren gives an explicit, project-wide go-ahead. Design docs, schemas described in prose, plans, and decision records are fine; `.go`, `.sql`, `go.mod`, Dockerfiles, and CI config are not.
48
49 ## Org, hiring, and orchestration
50
51 The project is run as an org: this PM agent (Dana Whitfield) orchestrates five standing track-lead agents, and each lead hires a small sub-team of specialist agents with deliberately varied personalities. **Each track lead runs as its own top-level Claude Code session**, launched from its track directory in its own tmux window — so it loads its own track `CLAUDE.md` and persona natively, owns and spawns its hires as named teammates in that window, and talks to the PM session through cross-session messaging. Hires belong to their lead's session, not the PM's. The governing files, all at the root:
52
53 - `PLAN.md` — the approved org plan for the planning phase (phases, gates, verification). `~/.claude/plans/` is scratch; this is the record.
54 - `PLANNING.md` — the thin cross-track board: one row per track, one writer per row, plus the service-boundaries section 03 owns and 04 reads.
55 - `CASTING.md` — archetype palette, org-wide variance rules, hire sizing, the persona-writing standard, the orchestration-pattern catalog (adversarial pair, red/blue, three hats, rotating devil's advocate, structured written debate, newcomer's question), the deep-research rule, the hire-creation procedure, and the registry of every hire.
56 - `LOG.md` — dated, append-only journal of what happened and why (team-lead writes it; it is part of the submission).
57 - `.claude/agents/` — one agent definition per hire (model pinned; a once-only per-agent `PreToolUse` hook displays its own persona on its first tool call). `.claude/AGENT_TEMPLATE.md` is the starting point (kept outside the agents directory so it is not registered as an agent type itself).
58 - `02-ai-security-architecture/planning-approach.md` — the agreed Claude-architecture approach: model/effort by role, coordination rules, hand-off standard, dependency order.
59
60 Rules that hold across every track:
61 - Every agent — lead or hire — has a profile-gen persona (name, temperament, professional history, technical background, stated blind spot). Hires are created text-first with `--output file`; portraits arrive later from `scripts/portrait-queue.sh`. Hires are **never** added as `profile-gen` markers in any `CLAUDE.md` — only the six markers that exist today.
62 - Hires do not spawn subagents. Only track leads (and team-lead) authorize or run deep research (patents, whitepapers, standards, primary sources); hires request it from their lead.
63 - Tracks never modify root-level state (this file, the root persona, root config); flag it to team-lead instead.
64 - Hand-offs are files by relative path, written so the receiver can act without re-deriving the sender's reasoning; chat messages signal readiness, they do not carry content.
65 - Edit `CLAUDE.md` files at turn boundaries only (prompt-cache stability). Milestone `git` commits at the end of each phase; no mid-task commits.
66
67 ## Status
68
69 Design phase complete for all five tracks (see each track's `CLAUDE.md` Status). All implementation code deliberately wiped 2026-09-12; the project is in the **planning phase** described in `PLAN.md`: Phase 0 scaffolding done, Phase 1 (leads plan in plan mode and propose hires) next, then hiring, in-team debates, a cross-track consistency pass, and Jira stories in project `LT`. No code until Warren's explicit go-ahead.

}1 # Track 04 (Infra & DevOps) — Phase 1 Planning Plan
2
3 ## Context
4
5 This is the Phase 1 planning pass for track 04, per team-lead's brief and the org-wide `PLAN.md` / `PLANNING.md` / `CASTING.md` / `02-ai-security-architecture/planning-approach.md` scaffolding. No code or config artifacts yet — this file is a plan only. Track 04 is deliberately last in the dependency order: it designs how the engineering track's services get built, deployed, and operated, which only makes sense once those services have a shape. Nothing below gets executed until team-lead replies "hiring go" (for the roster) and Warren gives the separate implementation go-ahead (for any code/config).
6
7 ## Hiring status (post "hiring go")
8
9 Wesley Okonkwo, Bree Sandoval, and Callum Ferreira are live, standing named teammates (spawned by team-lead per the org-wide resolution: leads do `CASTING.md` §6 steps 1–4, team-lead spawns — see `CASTING.md` §6 step 5, rewritten).
10
11 ## Deployment target note (added post-approval, Warren's direct input)
12
13 There is a real Kubernetes dev/lab cluster on Warren's LAN, operated day-to-day by an OpenClaw agent ("amber-kubernetes") running on a Mac mini reachable via SSH — this is not a hypothetical target, it's a specific, addressable cluster with an operator who already knows its conventions. Warren's explicit call: this stays a **design-only reference** for the submission. The deliverables below should name this cluster as the concrete deployment target (so the design reads as intentional rather than generic "some Kubernetes cluster somewhere"), including describing amber-kubernetes' role as the operational actor who'd apply manifests and know the cluster's existing namespace/ingress conventions — but nothing gets actually deployed, and amber-kubernetes is not contacted, during this take-home. If a real demo deployment is ever wanted, that is a separate, later decision Warren would make explicitly — not implied by this note.
14
15 ## 1. Deliverables & tasks (one Jira Story each; Epic = this track)
16
17 1. **Containerization design** — Dockerfile sketch/description for both the DAO-backed API service and the IDP connector service (multi-stage Go builds), described as targeting the real k8s dev cluster above (so it should read as a Deployment/Service manifest sketch, not just a bare Dockerfile). *Gated on:* 03's service boundaries (one binary or two, package layout) in `PLANNING.md`.
18 2. **CI pipeline sketch** — what runs on commit/PR: build, lint, test, security scan, and (as a documented final stage) a describe-only "apply to the lab cluster via amber-kubernetes" step — named, not executed. *Gated on:* nothing structural from other tracks, but the "test" stage assumes 03's test strategy exists in outline.
19 3. **Local dev-loop** — docker-compose sketch with a local Postgres profile and a SQLite-only profile (compose profiles, matching whatever env-var/config mechanism 03 picks for DB driver selection); this is the local counterpart to the cluster target, not a replacement for it. *Gated on:* 03's DAO driver-selection mechanism.
20 4. **Secrets delivery mechanics** — how DB credentials, IDP credentials, and signing keys reach the running services at deploy time (env injection, mounted files, or a secrets-manager sketch — mechanism only, not what's a secret or why), noting how that would map onto the lab cluster's existing secrets convention once known (not yet queried — see deployment target note). *Gated on:* 02's secrets inventory.
21 5. **Observability + never-log enforcement** — logging/metrics/tracing approach for both services, plus how the never-log list gets enforced in practice (structured logging with a redaction/allowlist discipline, not just a policy statement). *Gated on:* 02's never-log list.
22
23 Named hand-off inputs, all as files this track reads (not re-derives):
24 - `../PLANNING.md` → "Service boundaries" section, owned by Renata (03).
25 - 02's receiver-shaped secrets inventory + never-log list (per `planning-approach.md` §2, a deferred 02→04 hand-off — file path TBD, likely an addition to `../02-ai-security-architecture/connector-security.md` or a new short file).
26 - `../05-data-ops/multi-db-strategy.md` → migration tool/approach only (not migration content).
27
28 ## 2. Hire roster (3 hires, per Warren's 3–4/track sizing and Theo's small-surface argument for the low end of that range)
29
30 All three functions are genuinely useful here — not padding — because each does something Theo's own temperament won't: a Newcomer catches "assumed" jargon in hand-offs Theo would read past too fast; an Enthusiast is the required temperament opposite and the one voice arguing against Theo's own bias toward the minimum viable setup; a second Minimalist voice acts as an independent scope check on Theo's own designs (deadpan-minimalist reviewing deadpan-minimalist has no counterweight without a distinct persona doing it). No fourth hire — there's no fourth function this track's small deliverable set actually needs; adding one would be exactly the over-resourcing Theo argued against in `planning-approach.md`.
31
32 ### Hire 1 — Newcomer (function: hand-off legibility check)
33 - **Proposed name:** Wesley Okonkwo
34 - **Archetype:** Newcomer · temperament tags: `serious, cautious`-leaning but genuinely curious (bright/earnest, not deadpan)
35 - **Model:** sonnet
36 - **Patterns & role:** runs the Newcomer's-question pass (§5 of `CASTING.md`) on 03's service-boundaries hand-off and 02's secrets-inventory hand-off once both land — reads each cold, lists anything he couldn't act on without asking Theo to re-explain it, Theo fixes or annotates. This is the one pattern this track's plan authorizes.
37 - **Persona (draft, 137 words):** Bright, unguarded, asks the question everyone else stopped asking two meetings ago. Decides by restating what he thinks he just read and waiting to be corrected — if nobody corrects him, he assumes it's actually clear and says so in writing. Two years as a support engineer triaging on-call tickets for a mid-size SaaS company, one year as a junior platform engineer at a logistics startup, where he learned that a runbook nobody outside its author can follow is not a runbook. Comfortable with Docker, basic CI YAML, and reading a config file, but has never designed one from scratch. Pushes back on any hand-off that uses a term without defining it once. Blind spot: doesn't know what's already settled, so he sometimes flags a deliberate simplification as a gap. Disagreement: asks a follow-up question rather than asserting he's right.
38
39 ### Hire 2 — Enthusiast (function: Theo's required temperament opposite; argues for trying the promising infra option)
40 - **Proposed name:** Bree Sandoval
41 - **Archetype:** Enthusiast · temperament tags: `playful, bold`
42 - **Model:** sonnet
43 - **Patterns & role:** informal counterweight seat (not a named catalog pattern — the catalog itself says this track is too small for red/blue or three-hats) inside the containerization, CI, and dev-loop design tasks: for each, she writes the "what's the more capable/interesting option and what would it cost us" case (e.g., a managed secrets manager over a mounted file, a fuller CI matrix over the minimum) before Theo rules on it. Documented as a short "considered and declined/adopted" note per deliverable, not a separate debate artifact — proportionate to a three-task track.
44 - **Persona (draft, 128 words):** Bold, quick to say "let's just try it," genuinely energized by the newer option in the room. Decides fast and revises fast — she'd rather propose three things and cut two than deliberate over one. Three years building CI/CD for a Series B fintech's platform team, one year as a DevRel engineer demoing infra tools, which is where the optimism about new tooling comes from and also where she watched three demos fail under real traffic. Deep hands-on with GitHub Actions, container registries, and secrets-manager integrations. Pushes back whenever a design defaults to "the minimum" without pricing what's given up. Blind spot: discounts the operational cost of the thing she's excited about. Disagreement: stays cheerful, concedes fast when shown the failure mode, rarely re-litigates after that.
45
46 ### Hire 3 — Minimalist (function: independent scope guard)
47 - **Proposed name:** Callum Ferreira
48 - **Archetype:** Minimalist · temperament tags: `serious, cautious`
49 - **Model:** sonnet
50 - **Patterns & role:** informal review seat — reads each of the five deliverables once drafted and asks "what would we cut," specifically watching for take-home scope creep this track is prone to (Kubernetes manifests, a service mesh, a full observability stack) that reads as impressive but isn't what a take-home needs. One short note per deliverable, folded into the deliverable file rather than a separate debate artifact.
51 - **Persona (draft, 118 words):** Plain-spoken and unimpressed by scale for its own sake, but not identical to Theo — where Theo sizes to the actual problem from experience, Callum's method is adversarial subtraction: he assumes everything in a draft is optional until proven otherwise. Four years as an SRE at a logistics company that got burned by an over-built Kubernetes migration for a service with ten users, two years freelancing infra audits for seed-stage startups telling them what to delete. Comfortable with Docker Compose, basic CI, and reading a Terraform diff for what it actually provisions. Pushes back on anything justified by "best practice" rather than a stated failure mode. Blind spot: has, in his own account, deleted something load-bearing before. Disagreement: states the cut plainly, doesn't fight if overruled.
52
53 ## 3. Debate plan
54
55 - **One Newcomer's-question pass** (Wesley) on 03's service-boundaries entry in `PLANNING.md` and on 02's secrets-inventory/never-log hand-off, run once each lands. This is the pattern `CASTING.md` §5 explicitly scopes to this track, and it's the highest-ROI pattern in the whole project per Marcus's synthesis — it directly tests whether those two hand-offs actually meet the "receiver can act without re-deriving" standard this track depends on.
56 - **Everything else is waste, explicitly:** no adversarial pair, no red/blue, no three hats, no structured written debate, no rotating devil's advocate seat. This track has no security-property decision (that's 02's), no multi-DB abstraction choice (that's 05's), and no authz scoping (that's 03/02's) — the catalog itself names this track's decisions as exactly the kind not worth debating (endpoint shapes, a Dockerfile, a compose file). Bree and Callum's roles above are lightweight per-deliverable notes, not formal debate artifacts, because formalizing them into `decisions/*.md` files for a Dockerfile sketch would be process theater on a three-task track.
57
58 ## 4. Dependencies
59
60 Stable enough to design against means, for each of the three gating inputs:
61
62 - **03 service boundaries** (`../PLANNING.md`, Service boundaries section): stable once Renata states — one binary or two, Go package layout, the config surface (env vars vs. flags vs. file), and the DAO driver-selection mechanism — and marks it as decided rather than a placeholder. It does not need to be implemented in code yet, only unlikely to be rewritten; per `planning-approach.md`, "stable" means that, not "polished."
63 - **02 secrets inventory + never-log list**: stable once it exists as an enumerated list (which secrets, roughly what each protects) plus an explicit never-log list, in a named file this track can cite — not as prose alternatives Theo would have to interpret. Marcus's `planning-approach.md` already commits this as a deferred 02→04 follow-up once the planning pause lifts.
64 - **05 migration approach** (`../05-data-ops/multi-db-strategy.md`): stable once it names the migration tool/mechanism (e.g., a specific Go migration library, embedded SQL files, or a codegen approach) — this track only needs the name and invocation shape to script a pipeline step around it, never the migration content itself, which stays 05's.
65
66 Until all three land, this track's status stays "not started" on the deliverables above and this track's actual role is reviewer/consumer: read the other four tracks' output as it lands, flag anything infra-shaped that risks being silently owned elsewhere, and otherwise stay out of the way.

3 Design-only. No Dockerfile, manifest, or config file is being committed yet — per root `CLAUDE.md`, code/config artifacts wait for Warren's project-wide go-ahead. This document describes what would be built, in enough detail that building it is a transcription exercise, not a design exercise.
4
5 Inputs this depends on: `../PLANNING.md` Service boundaries (03, stable), `../02-ai-security-architecture/handoff-04-secrets.md` v2 (02, stable), `../05-data-ops/migration-approach.md` (05, provisional — noted where it matters).
6
7 Deployment target: the real Kubernetes dev/lab cluster on Warren's LAN, operated by amber-kubernetes (an external agent, not contacted during this take-home — see `./PLAN.md`). Manifests below are sketched against that cluster's shape, not a generic "some Kubernetes somewhere."
8
9 ## 1. Two images, not one
10
11 Mirrors 03's two-binary split: `cmd/api-service` and `cmd/idp-connector` are two separate images with independent Dockerfiles, tags, and Deployments. Reasons this isn't one image with two entrypoints: different threat models (per 02 — `api-service` is client-facing with bearer-token auth, `idp-connector` is outbound-only to vendors), different scaling needs, and a vulnerability in one image's dependency tree doesn't force a rebuild/redeploy of the other.
12
13 ## 2. Dockerfile shape (both images, same pattern)
14
15 Multi-stage Go build, three stages:
16
17 1. **`builder`** — `golang:1.2x-alpine` (or `-bookworm` if cgo is needed by a driver), `go mod download` cached as its own layer before `COPY . .`, then `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o /out/<binary> ./cmd/<binary>`. Static binary, no libc dependency to drag into the final image.
18 2. **`(none)`** — no separate test stage in the image build itself; tests run in CI (see `./ci-pipeline.md`), not as a Docker build step. A test failure should fail the pipeline stage, not silently produce a passing image build with a skipped test.
19 3. **`final`** — `gcr.io/distroless/static` (or `scratch` if no CA certs are needed — `idp-connector` needs them for outbound TLS to vendors, `api-service` doesn't unless its DB driver requires them). Non-root user (distroless's default `nonroot:nonroot`, UID 65532). Only the compiled binary and, for `idp-connector`, `/etc/ssl/certs` get copied in. No shell, no package manager, nothing an attacker can `exec` into even with a foothold.
20
21 Both images run as a read-only root filesystem (`securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` at the Pod spec level) — neither binary writes to disk at runtime; migrations are a separate job (see §4), not something either service does to itself on boot.

71
72 `idp-connector`'s manifest is the same shape with its own two `Secret` volume mounts (per-vendor client credentials, one `Secret` per vendor per handoff row #5), its own `resources` block (`idp-connector` is I/O-bound waiting on vendor calls, not CPU-heavy — requests `{cpu: 50m, memory: 64Mi}`, limits `{cpu: 250m, memory: 128Mi}`), and no inbound `Service` — it is called by `api-service` or invoked as a job, never exposed to anything outside the cluster. Exact invocation shape (long-running service vs. on-demand job) is undecided; either way the container/image design above doesn't change.
73
74 **On process vs. host isolation (per 03/Renata, `../PLANNING.md`):** the two-binary split is a process boundary, not a placement guarantee — if both Pods land on the same node, the failure isolation it buys (a stalled vendor call can't starve `api-service`'s own connection pool) depends on resource limits actually being enforced, not just on the processes being separate. The `limits` blocks above are that enforcement: a CPU limit means a stuck `idp-connector` can't starve `api-service`'s scheduling on a shared node, and a memory limit means it gets OOM-killed rather than pressuring the node into evicting something else. This is on top of, not instead of, 03's own connector-side backpressure (`context.WithTimeout` on every outbound vendor call, bounded retry/backoff on token refresh, per their S4) — that bounds how long the connector *tries*; these limits bound what it can *cost the node* while it's trying. A `PodAntiAffinity` `preferredDuringScheduling` rule to keep them off the same node is a cheap additional step worth naming, though not required given the limits above.
75
76 ## 4. Migration job
77
78 Per 05's requirement R1/R2 (`../05-data-ops/migration-approach.md`, provisional — the tool name may still change, the mechanism below doesn't): a `Job`, not an init container, with `parallelism: 1` and `backoffLimit` set so it doesn't retry indefinitely against a database it's already partially migrated. Runs `goose` (or whatever 05 finalizes) against the migration-runner credential (DDL-only, distinct from the runtime service credential per R4) before the Deployment's rollout proceeds — enforced by a CI/CD pipeline gate (`./ci-pipeline.md` §4), not by Kubernetes ordering alone, because R2's single-runner requirement has to hold across concurrent deploys too, not just within one.
79
80 ## 5. What's deliberately not here
81
82 No service mesh, no Istio/Linkerd sidecar, no HorizontalPodAutoscaler, no PodDisruptionBudget, no NetworkPolicy beyond what the namespace default provides. This is a two-service take-home submission, not a platform. If any of these earn their place later, they're additive to this design, not a rewrite of it.

}1 # CI/CD Pipeline Design 2 3 Design-only — a description of what would run, not a committed workflow file. Targets a generic CI platform (GitHub Actions shape, since the repo is on GitHub) but nothing here is Actions-specific beyond syntax. 4 5 ## Stages, in order, on every PR 6 7 1. **Build.** `go build ./...` for both `cmd/api-service` and `cmd/idp-connector`, against the module's declared Go version. Fails fast — nothing downstream runs against code that doesn't compile. 8 2. **Lint.** `golangci-lint run` (staticcheck, govet, unused, errcheck at minimum). Non-negotiable gate, not advisory — a lint failure blocks merge, same as a test failure. 9 3. **Test.** `go test ./... -race` — unit tests against 03's `internal/dao` per-backend implementations (SQLite in-process for the fast path, a Postgres testcontainer for the Postgres/CockroachDB-shared code path — exact test-double strategy is 03's call, this stage just runs whatever `go test` finds). `-race` is not optional given two DB implementations and a migration-runner exclusivity requirement (05's R2) that's exactly the kind of thing a race detector catches in test even though it's enforced by orchestration in production. 10 4. **Security scan.** Two checks, both fast enough to run on every PR: 11 - `govulncheck ./...` — known-CVE dependency scan. 12 - `gitleaks` (or equivalent secret-pattern scanner) over the diff — a second line of defense behind "secrets never enter source" (per 02's never-log/never-commit discipline), not a replacement for it. 13 5. **Build images.** Both Dockerfiles (`./containerization-design.md` §2) built and tagged with the commit SHA. Not pushed yet on a PR build — build-only, to catch a broken multi-stage build before merge. 14 15 ## On merge to main 16 17 6. **Push images** to the registry, tagged with SHA and `latest` (or a semver tag if the project adopts one — not decided, not needed for a take-home). 18 7. **Run migration job** — describe-only in this design: the pipeline would invoke whatever 05 finalizes (`goose` per current draft) against the migration-runner credential, gated so only one pipeline run at a time can reach this stage (05's R2; a concurrency group / mutex on the pipeline's own deploy environment, not a database lock — CockroachDB has no advisory locks, so the exclusivity has to live in the orchestration layer regardless of which backend is targeted). 19 8. **Deploy — describe-only, not executed.** A named final stage: "apply manifests to the lab cluster via amber-kubernetes." This step is documented as what *would* run — which manifests, which namespace, which credential applies them — but is never actually invoked during this take-home, consistent with the deployment-target note in `./PLAN.md`. If a real deploy is ever wanted, this is the stage that gets un-stubbed, not redesigned. 20 21 ## What's deliberately not in this pipeline 22 23 No canary/blue-green deploy strategy, no multi-environment promotion pipeline (dev → staging → prod), no automated rollback orchestration beyond "the migration job's `backoffLimit` and the Deployment's own rollout history." A take-home doesn't need a release engineering platform; it needs to show the shape of one. 24 25 --- 26 *AI tooling note: drafted directly by Theo (Sonnet, this session) from 03's test-strategy outline and the containerization design above.

3 Design-only — a docker-compose sketch, not a committed `docker-compose.yml`. Local counterpart to the cluster target in `./containerization-design.md`, not a replacement for it: this is what a developer runs on a laptop; the cluster design is what the submission targets as the real deployment shape.

39 IDP_ABC_CLIENT_SECRET: dev-secret
40 profiles: ["sqlite", "postgres"]
41
42 volumes:
43 sqlite-data:
44 ```
45
46 `docker compose --profile sqlite up` for the zero-dependency path (no Postgres container, fastest inner loop); `docker compose --profile postgres up` when a developer needs to exercise the Postgres-specific code path (the `pg_trgm` index, per `../05-data-ops/multi-db-strategy.md`). CockroachDB isn't in the local loop — it's wire-compatible enough with Postgres per 05's strategy doc that the Postgres profile exercises the shared code path; a CockroachDB-specific compose profile would test the same code again, not new code.
47
48 ## Dev credentials are dev credentials
49
50 The `dev`/`dev` Postgres password and the hardcoded `dev-client`/`dev-secret` above are local-only, never used outside a developer's own machine, and never the pattern used in `./containerization-design.md` or `./secrets-delivery.md` — those go through the mechanisms 02 specifies. Worth stating explicitly so nobody reads this file as the security design.
51
52 ## Migrations locally
53
54 `goose up` (or whatever 05 finalizes) run by hand or via a `make migrate` target against whichever profile is active — no orchestration-layer exclusivity needed locally since there's exactly one developer and one instance. The R2 requirement (`../05-data-ops/migration-approach.md`) is a production/CI concern; the local loop doesn't need to simulate it.
55
56 ## What's deliberately not here
57
58 No hot-reload/live-rebuild tooling (`air`, `reflex`), no local Kubernetes (`kind`/`minikube`) mirroring the lab cluster — compose is the right altitude for a two-service Go project's local loop; a local k8s cluster would be solving a problem this project doesn't have.

}1 # Secrets Delivery Mechanics 2 3 Design-only. This document implements the delivery mechanism for what `../02-ai-security-architecture/handoff-04-secrets.md` v2 specifies must be a secret and why — this track doesn't decide what's a secret, only how it reaches a running process. Row numbers below refer to that hand-off's inventory table. 4 5 ## Mechanism: Kubernetes-native `Secret` objects, file-mounted 6 7 Per the hand-off's Kubernetes-specific requirements: every secret in the inventory is delivered as a `Secret` resource, mounted read-only as a file into the consuming Pod, never passed as a plaintext env var except the one named transitional exception below. Manifests reference `Secret` **names** only (`secretName: api-service-db-dsn`) — values are never in a manifest, never in source, never in an image layer. Values are provisioned out-of-band by whoever applies the manifest (amber-kubernetes, per the deployment-target note) — this take-home describes that step, doesn't perform it. 8 9 | Row | Secret | Mount | Consuming ServiceAccount / RBAC | 10 |---|---|---|---| 11 | #1 | `DB_DSN` | File, read via `DB_DSN_FILE` (03's convention, per the hand-off's upgraded requirement). Env-var `DB_DSN` supported only as a fallback until 03 ships the `_FILE` convention. | `api-service` SA | 12 | #2 | JWT signing private key | File only, never env | Restricted Role scoped to the issuing code path within `api-service`'s own SA — not the verification path, per the hand-off's assumption 2 | 13 | #3 | JWT public key / JWKS | Not a `Secret` — `ConfigMap` or fetched URL | n/a | 14 | #4 | API caller `client_secret`s | Not a Kubernetes `Secret` — lives in the authorization server's own datastore (hashed, Argon2id) | Datastore credentials are shaped like row #1, delivered the same way | 15 | #5 | `IDP_ABC_CLIENT_ID`/`SECRET` (+ XYZ pair) | File, one `Secret` per vendor so rotating one never touches the other | `idp-connector` SA | 16 | #6 | Vendor `access_token` | Not deployed — transient, in-memory only. If cached, encrypted with #7's KEK; no `Secret` object | n/a | 17 | #7 | KEK for envelope encryption | File. Per the hand-off's resolved v2: not a live requirement until TOTP or token-caching actually materializes — provisioned only if/when 05 or 02 confirms one of those features is real | `api-service` and/or `idp-connector` SA, whichever feature lands | 18 | #7a | KMS-access credential | Only if the KMS alternative to #7 is exercised; workload-identity-based where the platform supports it, otherwise a `Secret` under the same RBAC discipline as #2 | Whichever binary holds #7 | 19 | #8 | TLS serving private keys | `kubernetes.io/tls` `Secret`, automated issuance preferred (cert-manager or equivalent) | Ingress, or each binary if TLS terminates at the pod | 20 | #9 | End-user vendor password | Nothing to deliver — transient request-body data, never persisted | n/a | 21 22 ## RBAC discipline 23 24 No ServiceAccount `get`s or `list`s a `Secret` it doesn't mount — enforced by a `Role`/`RoleBinding` per service, scoped to exactly the `Secret` names in the table above for that service, not a blanket namespace-read grant. Per the hand-off, this is narrower still for row #2: `api-service`'s own SA needs a distinct Role restricting the signing-key `Secret` to the issuing code path, which in practice means either a second SA for the issuer mode or a sidecar/init-container pattern that reads the key and the main container process never does — the exact split is an implementation detail for 03, not a change to this delivery mechanism. 25 26 The audit/access-log read requirement (hand-off, Kubernetes-specific requirements, last bullet) is a **separate** RBAC grant from Secret access — see `./observability.md` for how that log stream is isolated. 27 28 ## Secrets-at-rest in etcd 29 30 Per the hand-off's explicit either/or: this design's answer is **enable encryption at rest for the `Secret` resource type** at the cluster level (an `EncryptionConfiguration` with a KMS or `aescbc` provider), rather than sourcing every value from an external store. Reasoning: an external store (Vault, cloud secrets manager) is real infrastructure this lab cluster doesn't currently run, and standing one up is out of scope for a take-home submission whose deployment is design-only anyway; cluster-level encryption-at-rest is a one-time `kube-apiserver` flag, not a new service to operate. If this became a real deployment with an existing Vault install, that would be the better answer — named here as the alternative, not designed. 31 32 ## CI-side secret handling 33 34 No secret in an image layer, build arg, or CI log — enforced by the pipeline's own gitleaks stage (`./ci-pipeline.md` §4) plus the container design never `COPY`ing anything but the compiled binary. CI's own credentials to reach the registry and (in the describe-only deploy stage) the cluster are themselves managed as CI-platform secrets (GitHub Actions encrypted secrets or equivalent) — same discipline, different delivery surface, not re-specified here since it's a standard CI-platform mechanism rather than something this design invents. 35 36 --- 37 *AI tooling note: drafted directly by Theo (Sonnet, this session) from `handoff-04-secrets.md` v2.

}1 # Observability + Never-Log Enforcement
2
3 Design-only. Covers logging, metrics, and tracing for both services, and — the harder half — how `handoff-04-secrets.md`'s never-log list gets enforced as a mechanism, not just stated as a policy.
4
5 ## Logging
6
7 Structured logging (`slog`, Go stdlib — no third-party logging library needed for two services this size), JSON output, one line per event. Every log line that touches a request carries `sub` (caller identity), the endpoint, status, and a request id — never the request or response body wholesale. This is the pattern the never-log list requires (hand-off item 8: "full request bodies of `POST /auth` and `POST /identity`... both contain items above by construction") — the enforcement mechanism is that handlers log a small, explicit field set assembled by hand, never `log.Printf("%+v", req)` or equivalent reflection-based dumps of a request/response struct. A struct that contains a password field can't leak through a log statement that never receives the struct.
8
9 **Enforcement beyond "write it carefully":**
10 - A lint rule (a `golangci-lint` custom check, or a simple `go vet`-style grep in CI) that flags any log call passing a whole request/response struct, a `*http.Request` body, or any variable named/typed to match the never-log list's fields (`password`, `token`, `secret`, `dsn`, `client_secret`). Not foolproof — a determined developer can rename around it — but it catches the accidental case, which is the common one.
11 - Error-path discipline: wrapped errors are logged with `err.Error()` truncated/sanitized where the error type is known to carry sensitive detail (a DB driver error can echo the DSN; a vendor HTTP client error can echo the response body per hand-off item 4) — the wrapping layer strips those before the error reaches a log call, not the log call itself deciding case-by-case.
12
13 ## Metrics
14
15 Standard RED metrics (rate, errors, duration) per endpoint, via Prometheus client library, scraped by whatever the lab cluster already runs (not stood up new for this take-home). Labels: method, route, status class — never a label with cardinality tied to user data (no `sub` or phone number as a metric label; that turns a metrics backend into an accidental PII store with no access control at all, which is a worse leak than a log line since metrics systems are typically more widely readable).
16
17 ## Tracing
18
19 OpenTelemetry SDK, exported via OTLP to whatever collector the lab cluster runs, if any — named as the mechanism a real deployment would use; not something this take-home stands up. Span attributes follow the same discipline as log fields: caller identity and route, never PII values or secret material as a span attribute (span attributes are exactly as leak-prone as log fields and get less scrutiny in practice).
20
21 ## The never-log list, operationalized
22
23 Hand-off's nine items map to two enforcement surfaces, not nine separate mechanisms:
24
25 1. **Application-level:** the structured-logging discipline above (explicit field sets, the lint check, error-wrapping sanitization) covers items 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 (password, tokens, JWTs, client secrets, DSN) — these never enter a Go `log`/`slog` call in the first place.
26 2. **Proxy/ingress-level:** item 9 ("search query parameters containing a name or phone fragment... redact or hash before any access log, including proxy and ingress logs 04 controls") is the one item application code can't fully own, since ingress access logs are written by the ingress controller, not the service. Mechanism: an ingress-level log-format override that logs the request path with query string stripped (or a regex redaction on the `phone`/`name` query params specifically) rather than the default full-URL access log format. This is a one-time ingress ConfigMap change, not a per-request code path.
27 3. Item 3 (PII field values from `/identity` or `user_profile`) and item 4 (raw vendor error bodies) are the same discipline as #1 applied to the connector specifically — the connector logs "called vendor X, got status Y," never the response body.
28
29 ## Audit-log access is a separate grant from Secret access
30
31 Per the hand-off's Kubernetes-specific requirements: the log stream carrying `sub`/scope/record-id/timestamp (the "fact of access" the never-log list still permits) is itself sensitive enough to reconstruct who looked up whom, so it gets its own RBAC — a distinct, narrower `Role` bound to an incident-review group, separate from any ServiceAccount's `Secret`-read grant (`./secrets-delivery.md`). Mechanism: if logs go to a cluster-local sink (e.g., Loki), that sink's read API gets its own RBAC/auth in front of it, not the same one guarding `kubectl get secrets`; if logs go to an external platform, the equivalent is a scoped read-only role in that platform, provisioned separately from any cluster credential.
32
33 ## What's deliberately not here
34
35 No SLOs/error-budget policy, no alerting-rule catalog, no log-retention-window design (that's 05's PII-retention territory for anything log-adjacent to PII, per `../05-data-ops/pii-governance.md` — this document only says logs must exclude PII values in the first place, not how long the remaining metadata is kept). A take-home needs the shape of an observability approach and a credible enforcement mechanism for the one hard requirement (never-log); it doesn't need a full SRE runbook.
