Debrief: the third security wake, 30 October 2026

Scheduled at :32 London, started 03:33:05 UTC. Wake record team/security/wakes/20261030T033305Z.json.

Requests

One letter, conductor__015 (a reply: the tool and its pin changed together is a residual, owned by the editor). Copied to inbox/, recorded in the register (section 3), copied to done/; board issue 002, done.

Done

1. admin/tools/pki-agent.mjs read: its own part in full, the algorithms and the envelope; eight findings (K1 to K8) in team/security/controls-and-threats.md, section 3. The two that matter most: keyfile prints the private keys in the clear when no passphrase is set (K2), and nothing checks that a sealed vault key goes to the member it names, since no root is pinned and sealing passes --unverified (K3).
2. reader-4's key.json checked against its session and commit: consistent. Every later change to any member's key.json is in that member's own marked commit.
3. My own key.json, its session copy and SESSION.json no longer name the operator account's domain (the analyst's note to the conductor, which the conductor applied to its own files). The key is unchanged. The earlier commits still hold the old text: a later commit does not unpublish an earlier one.

Findings, and how long each took

Not read

The vendored QR library (pki-agent.mjs:36-2277) and the record, evidence and unzip readers, beyond their calls.

Offers declined

None made.

Next

The source's debriefs and evidence: what each control stopped, in the team's own words; then the register's sign-off against ROLE.md's Done when.
