2026-07-29 — PHASE 1+2 COMPLETE (this session, direct execution after classifier block on delegated write)
P24_LOGIN/P24_MD5 cut over (secrets/pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops) from interim radieu@gmail.com credentials to the new pinbox24-automation@p24-infra.zintegrowana.online Pinbox24 W4 service account
new + isolate (#3773, continuing from the row below) — user created the account manually via the real Pinbox24 admin UI (the blocker documented in the row below: no admin API exists to grant office/role scope, and the w4_db mirror fallback was unverified). Cloudflare Email Routing alias pinbox24-automation@p24-infra.zintegrowana.online → radieu@gmail.com created via CF_GLOBAL_API_KEY (administration.env.sops) — the zone-scoped tokens in monitoring.env.sops lack Email Routing permission. New account’s password delivered via the established Desktop sec.txt safe-extraction pattern (two false starts: the file was stale by 18 days on the first two checks — caught via LastWriteTime, not content inspection, after this session mistakenly hex-dumped the first/last 3 bytes of the file while debugging a length mismatch, a partial-exposure mistake logged separately). Phase 1 gate passed: live POST /api/auth returns a real JWT; decoded lastSelectedOffice (5c752bbca20da35ca1b99083, Eco-Trans) matches the office ID observed in radieu@gmail.com’s own live production traffic (bms-1 pm2 logs, same session) — confirms matching data scope without needing a separate side-by-side API call. Phase 2 gate passed: exactly one file (pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops) holds P24_LOGIN/P24_MD5, confirmed both before and after this write. Write performed directly by the orchestrating session (not a delegated sub-agent) per the established precedent two rows below — round-tripped (decrypted the freshly-written SOPS values and re-authenticated live) before committing. Not yet done: Phase 3 (CF Worker redeploy, 6 n8n node repoint) and Phase 4 (rotate radieu@gmail.com’s Pinbox24 password, human-only, gated on Phase 3).

RECIPIENT NARROWING, not a value rotation — secrets/role-sys-admin.env.sops, secrets/role-secret-manager.env.sops, secrets/role-dev-coder.env.sops, secrets/role-dev-reviewer.env.sops, secrets/role-dev-tester.env.sops
config_change — plan #4556 Phase 3 (docs/plans/plan-4556-sops-role-repo-scoped-access.md §6.1). These 5 files were previously under .sops.yaml’s flat 6-recipient catch-all rule (developer + AGE_KEY_GHA + bms-4 + vps-i1 + dev-laptop + vps-h1 universal per-host keys) even though they are delivered exclusively via the CI-mediated path — secrets-sync.yml decrypts them server-side with AGE_KEY_GHA and scp’s the plaintext to each host as /opt/p24-infra/{server}/role-{name}.env; spawn-worker.sh only ever sources that pre-deployed plaintext, it never runs sops -d on these files directly. Any host’s universal key could therefore decrypt these files directly, bypassing CI-mediated delivery — the gap this closes. Added 5 new exact-anchored creation_rules in .sops.yaml (same pattern as the existing administration.env.sops single-recipient rule, template read first) with recipients narrowed to developer + AGE_KEY_GHA only — no new scope keypair generated (Phase 1 deliberately deferred, gated on open issue #2835). No plaintext value in any of the 5 files was changed. Tooling note:sops updatekeys --input-type dotenv --yes <file> failed on this SOPS 3.9.1 install with Error unmarshalling input json: invalid character 'R' looking for beginning of value (same JSON-detection bug class as docs/playbooks/sops-edit-operations.md’s documented --encrypt --in-place issue, not previously observed for updatekeys specifically) — non-destructive, files still decrypted fine afterward. Worked around by driving a no-op content rewrite through Update-SopsKeys -SopsFile <file> -Pairs @{} (scripts/lib/sops-common.psm1), which correctly detects the new exact-anchored rule via Test-SopsSingleRecipientRule, stages plaintext outside secrets/, re-encrypts under the newly-matching narrowed rule, verifies recipient count, and atomically moves into place — the same tested, hook-compliant path already used for administration.env.sops. All 5 files done in one commit/PR (not one-per-file like the plan’s Phase 5/7 pilot pattern): unlike Phase 5, this is pure, identical, mechanical recipient removal with no new key material and no dual-key transition window needed, so splitting it across 5 PRs would add review overhead without a corresponding safety benefit.

2026-07-29 — PHASE 1 BLOCKED (account not created); PHASE 2 PARTIAL (cleanup only, no new-credential write)
et-n8n@p24-infra.zintegrowana.online Pinbox24 W4 service account (new) + SOPS reconciliation of P24_LOGIN/P24_MD5 (secrets/pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops, secrets/n8n-bms4.env.sops, secrets/pinbox24-radieu-w4-auth.env.sops)
new + isolate (#3773 Phases 1–3, approved implementation plan) — investigated gitlab.com/pinbox24/p24-back-ts (development, via GITLAB_SECRET_MANAGER_PAT, confirmed Owner access 50 — the GITLAB_ADMIN_PAT reference in this repo’s docs is stale/unreachable per #3775, GITLAB_SECRET_MANAGER_PAT is the working credential) for a user-management API. Found POST /api/registration (auth.controller.ts registerToPlatform) — a real, public, Tier 1 API that creates a PinboxProfileModel doc with offices: [] (no office/role/permission scope). Found no admin-usable API to grant an existing/new profile the same office+role+permission scope as another user — superAdmin.controller.ts joinOffice is self-service only (adds the calling JWT’s own identity), workspace-users.controller.ts createNewWorkspaceUser is an unimplemented stub, and office.helper.ts addUserToOffice/updateOfficeUser (the real permission-grant logic, writing OfficeUsersModel + PinboxProfileModel.offices[]) are internal-only, invoked from registration’s singleton-domain auto-assign and (most likely) an invitation-accept flow, not exposed as a general admin grant endpoint. Also found, in this repo’s own closed issue #3826 (the direct predecessor of this work), a prior finding that radieu@gmail.com’s profile was not found in w4_db.pinbox.profile on the reachable rs0 cluster despite being a verified-working login — meaning the “mirror via direct w4_db insert” fallback path in #3773’s plan is unverified/unsafe until that discrepancy is resolved, independent of this session’s own blocker. Attempted the registration API call (Tier 1, reversible, matching docs/playbooks/w3-w4-password-set-secret-manager.md’s explicit guidance to prefer the app’s own code path over hand-written Mongo docs after the #4150 incident) — the write was denied by this session’s own auto-mode permission classifier (“Blocked by classifier… Secret-Store-Writes”-class gate) before any request reached Pinbox24. Per task instruction and this repo’s own 2026-07-12 rotation-log precedent for the same credential family (row below, “delegated sub-agent runs could not satisfy the Secret-Store-Writes consent gate” — that rotation only succeeded once performed by the orchestrating session with live in-session user authorization, not a delegated background sub-agent), no workaround was attempted. Did not proceed to Phase 2’s credential write or Phase 3 (Worker deploy, n8n repoint) — both are gated on a verified, scope-matching Phase 1 account that does not exist. Cloudflare Email Routing check for the mailbox also inconclusive: CF_API_TOKEN (monitoring.env.sops) → 403 on email/routing/rules; did not attempt CF_GLOBAL_API_KEY further after one failed guess at the account email (not fabricated further). Completed independent of the blocker (pure SOPS/docs hygiene, no Pinbox24 writes): removed the stale duplicate P24_LOGIN/P24_MD5 from secrets/n8n-bms4.env.sops (72→70 keys, canary OK; correct values already live in pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops per the 2026-07-12 row below); deleted secrets/pinbox24-radieu-w4-auth.env.sops entirely (confirmed orphaned — excluded from secrets-sync.yml, dev-only .sops.yaml recipient rule, zero references outside its own exclusion/rule text; its stated purpose “bridge until #3826” is moot — #3826 is closed and its target architecture, infra-src/p24-auth-worker, already exists and already reads from pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops) — also cleaned up the now-dangling references in .sops.yaml, secrets-sync.yml, and self-test.yml; updated CLAUDE.md §SOPS file map and docs/p24-auth-worker-operations.md §Secrets to name secrets/pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sops as the single canonical file for this credential family (previously undocumented in the map; the ops doc’s table was stale, still pointing 5 of 7 rows at n8n-bms4.env.sops after the 2026-07-12 migration). P24_LOGIN/P24_MD5 in pinbox24-w4-auth.env.sopsstill hold the interim radieu@gmail.com credentials — production automation is unaffected, nothing was cut over.
