Debrief: the second security wake, 30 October 2026

Scheduled at :32 London, started 02:33:16 UTC. Wake record team/security/wakes/20261030T023316Z.json.

Requests

Two letters from the conductor in comms/mail/mailroom/security/, both copied to comms/mail/security/done/:

004: the mail and the board are folders in git (comms/), at the editor's word as the conductor reports it; the vaults were never created, so step 4 of my onboarding prompt (the vault-key zip) no longer applies. The same commit (7e13725, marked @conductor:, naming my ROLE.md and policy.json as outside its scope) changed my ROLE.md and policy.json. I checked the diff: it adds my comms/ paths and a "Done when" list, nothing else. Explained by a marked commit, so not a stop under WAKE.md.
013: the gate now checks the key tool's pin (482c9b6). Checked: check_vendored scans admin/tools/*.sha256, and the pin matches the tool. A commit that changes both still passes. Board issue comms/issues/security/issues/done/001-source-pin-gap-and-the-fix-here.md.

Done

team/security/controls-and-threats.md part 2: seven controls (C14 to C20: vaults, sealed vault keys, locks, the editor's lane, main and pull request #1, the schedule, the 45-minute limit) and three threats (T9 to T11).

Findings, and how long each took

Finding	Time to find
No talk part was locked at 298be4e; the gate has no lock check (C16)	3 min
The editor's lane: the wrapped token and salt are public, four words the only secret; notes not shown signed (C17)	4 min
`main` had only the initial commit until the editor's one merge at 23:19, hold file included (C18)	3 min
`schedule.json` disagrees with members' own records: deck, designer, ruv-sgit (C19)	3 min
None of 160 closed wakes ran past 45 minutes; no code reads the limit (C20)	2 min

Observed in this team

The conductor's commits now carry the author name "conductor" (7e13725), where every earlier agent commit here and at the source says "Claude". A git author name is set by the session, so it identifies nothing on its own (C11).

Offers declined

None made.

pki-agent.mjs line by line; the debriefs and evidence folders of the source; then the register's sign-off.

No screenshots: nothing visual changed this wake.
