Summary

Replace token-as-identity with first-class machine identities following Agent Access Plane principles.

Scope

  • Add machine_identity and machine_identity_credential model.
  • Support thread-scoped identities like codex-<thread-id>.
  • Track workspace/board scope, allowed modes/actions, owner, status, expiry, last used, last rotated.
  • Attach audit events to machine identity as well as credential/token.

Non-goals

  • No production credential issuance.
  • No Infisical integration in this PR unless explicitly approved.
  • No UI unless trivial; management can follow in #5.

Acceptance

  • One agent thread can have a scoped identity and credential.
  • Credential can be revoked without deleting identity.
  • Audit can answer what a machine identity did.

Tests / smoke

  • DB schema/repository tests.
  • Agent auth tests for identity-linked audit.

Rollback

  • Revert PR before deployment; after migration, rollback requires migration-specific plan.

Owner gates

  • DB migration approval.
  • Any real credential rotation/issuance is a hard stop.

Implementation PR opened: #28feat(agent): add machine identities.

Notes:

  • Adds nullable machine identity links, so legacy agent_token rows keep working.
  • No production migration, deploy, restart, or credential issuance was performed.
  • drizzle-kit generate is currently blocked by an existing boards/users schema initialization cycle; PR uses a manual SQL migration and validates it through the PGlite integration migrator.
  • Owner gate remains required before running the migration or issuing production identities.
