+# tools/vault-apply-policies.sh — Idempotent Vault policy sync
+#
+# Part of the Nomad+Vault migration (S2.1, issue #879). Reads every
+# vault/policies/*.hcl file and upserts it into Vault as an ACL policy
+# named after the file's basename (without the .hcl suffix).
+#
+# Idempotency contract:
+#   For each vault/policies/<NAME>.hcl:
+#     - Policy missing in Vault       → apply, log "policy <NAME> created"
+#     - Policy present, content same  → skip,  log "policy <NAME> unchanged"
+#     - Policy present, content diff  → apply, log "policy <NAME> updated"
+#
+#   Comparison is byte-for-byte against the on-server policy text returned by
+#   GET sys/policies/acl/<NAME>.data.policy. Re-running with no file edits is
+#   a guaranteed no-op that reports every policy as "unchanged".
+#
+#   --dry-run: prints <NAME>  <SHA256> for each file that WOULD be applied;
+#   does not call Vault at all (no GETs, no PUTs). Exits 0.
+#
+# Requires:
+#   - VAULT_ADDR   (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8200)
+#   - VAULT_TOKEN  (env OR /etc/vault.d/root.token, resolved by lib/hvault.sh)

+# vault/policies/ — Agent Instructions
+
+HashiCorp Vault ACL policies for the disinto factory. One `.hcl` file per
+policy; the basename (minus `.hcl`) is the Vault policy name applied to it.
+Synced into Vault by `tools/vault-apply-policies.sh` (idempotent — see the
+script header for the contract).
+
+This directory is part of the **Nomad+Vault migration (Step 2)** — see
+issues #879–#884. Policies attach to Nomad jobs via workload identity in
+S2.4; this PR only lands the files + apply script.
+
+## Naming convention
+
+| Prefix | Audience | KV scope |
+|---|---|---|
+| `service-<name>.hcl`  | Long-running platform services (forgejo, woodpecker) | `kv/data/disinto/shared/<name>/*` |
+| `bot-<name>.hcl`      | Per-agent jobs (dev, review, gardener, …)            | `kv/data/disinto/bots/<name>/*` + shared forge URL |
+| `runner-<TOKEN>.hcl`  | Per-secret policy for vault-runner ephemeral dispatch | exactly one `kv/data/disinto/runner/<TOKEN>` path |
+| `dispatcher.hcl`      | Long-running edge dispatcher                         | `kv/data/disinto/runner/*` + `kv/data/disinto/shared/ops-repo/*` |
+
+The KV mount name `kv/` is the convention this migration uses (mounted as
+KV v2). Vault addresses KV v2 data at `kv/data/<path>` and metadata at
+`kv/metadata/<path>` — policies that need `list` always target the
+`metadata` path; reads target `data`.
+
+## Policy → KV path summary
+
+| Policy | Reads |
+|---|---|
+| `service-forgejo` | `kv/data/disinto/shared/forgejo/*` |
+| `service-woodpecker` | `kv/data/disinto/shared/woodpecker/*` |
+| `bot-<role>` (dev, review, gardener, architect, planner, predictor, supervisor, vault, dev-qwen) | `kv/data/disinto/bots/<role>/*` + `kv/data/disinto/shared/forge/*` |
+| `runner-<TOKEN>` (GITHUB\_TOKEN, CODEBERG\_TOKEN, CLAWHUB\_TOKEN, DEPLOY\_KEY, NPM\_TOKEN, DOCKER\_HUB\_TOKEN) | `kv/data/disinto/runner/<TOKEN>` (exactly one) |
+| `dispatcher` | `kv/data/disinto/runner/*` + `kv/data/disinto/shared/ops-repo/*` |
+
+## Why one policy per runner secret
+
+`vault-runner` (Step 5) reads each action TOML's `secrets = [...]` list
+and composes only those `runner-<NAME>` policies onto the per-dispatch
+ephemeral token. Wildcards or batched policies would hand the runner more
+secrets than the action declared — defeats AD-006 (least-privilege per
+external action). Adding a new declarable secret = adding one new
+`runner-<NAME>.hcl` here + extending the SECRETS allow-list in vault-action
+validation.
+
+## Adding a new policy
+
+1. Drop a file matching one of the four naming patterns above. Use an
+   existing file in the same family as the template — comment header,
+   capability list, and KV path layout should match the family.
+2. Run `tools/vault-apply-policies.sh --dry-run` to confirm the new
+   basename appears in the planned-work list with the expected SHA.
+3. Run `tools/vault-apply-policies.sh` against a Vault instance to
+   create it; re-run to confirm it reports `unchanged`.
+4. The CI fmt + validate step lands in S2.6 (#884). Until then
+   `vault policy fmt <file>` locally is the fastest sanity check.
+
+## What this directory does NOT own
+
+- **Attaching policies to Nomad jobs.** That's S2.4 (#882) via the
+  jobspec `template { vault { policies = […] } }` stanza.
+- **Enabling JWT auth + Nomad workload identity roles.** That's S2.3
+  (#881).
+- **Writing the secret values themselves.** That's S2.2 (#880) via
+  `tools/vault-import.sh`.
+- **CI policy fmt + validate + roles.yaml check.** That's S2.6 (#884).
