Land the Vault ACL policies and an idempotent apply script. 18 policies:
service-{forgejo,woodpecker}, bot-{dev,review,gardener,architect,planner,
predictor,supervisor,vault,dev-qwen}, runner-{GITHUB,CODEBERG,CLAWHUB,
NPM,DOCKER_HUB}_TOKEN + runner-DEPLOY_KEY, and dispatcher.
tools/vault-apply-policies.sh diffs each file against the on-server
policy text before calling hvault_policy_apply, reporting created /
updated / unchanged per file. --dry-run prints planned names + SHA256
and makes no Vault calls.
vault/policies/AGENTS.md documents the naming convention (service-/
bot-/runner-/dispatcher), the KV path each policy grants, the rationale
for one-policy-per-runner-secret (AD-006 least-privilege at dispatch
time), and what lands in later S2.* issues (#880-#884).

# 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).
