Context

M01 RS2000 legacy cleanup and M04 safe-session Vault cutover changed the operational topology. Old W3/M02 restore evidence is not enough for Vault destruction decisions because it predates the current canonical paths and safe-session-api local OpenSSH CA signer mode.

This is the explicit DR gate before any Vault quarantine/destructive cleanup. It exists because Claude Opus review correctly called out: prove restore before you destroy.

Spec sources

  • runbooks/dr-restore-test.md — canonical restore drill expectations.
  • runbooks/vault-quarantine-and-sunset.md — M04 quarantine/destruction gate context.
  • runbooks/safe-session-local-ca-cutover.md — current safe-session signer topology.
  • state/reports/m04-vault-phase1-inventory-2026-05-29.md — Phase 1 Vault inventory and last-dependency evidence.
  • PR #619 — safe-session runtime Vault dependency removed.
  • PR #610 — Phase 1 inventory evidence recorded.
  • Issue #64 — parent Vault sunset execution lane.

Scope

Run a post-M04 DR refresh without stopping Vault, deleting data, rotating secrets, or changing runtime topology.

Allowed:

  • read backup manifests and restore runbooks;
  • run local restore drill into controlled restore/test location;
  • run or prepare vps1000 restore drill into controlled restore/test location;
  • smoke restored artifacts enough to prove the new topology is represented;
  • write sanitized evidence report to repo or issue comment.

Not allowed:

  • stop Vault;
  • delete Vault artifacts;
  • delete legacy backups;
  • print tokens, private keys, raw env values, or private data bodies.

Acceptance criteria

  • Local restore evidence is refreshed after #619/#610 and references current canonical paths/topology.
  • vps1000 restore evidence is refreshed or a precise blocker is recorded with command, host, missing prerequisite, and next action.
  • Evidence explicitly covers safe-session-api local signer material handling without exposing key material.
  • Evidence explicitly states whether Vault is required for restore.
  • Uptime/smoke checks after the drill are green or any gap is recorded as a blocker.
  • Issue #64 is updated with a sanitized checkpoint.
  • No Vault quarantine/destruction is performed in this issue.

Ready signal

After this issue is done, M04 can proceed only to the separate quarantine gate and only after the exact operator phrase m04-vault-quarantine-approved.

## Context M01 RS2000 legacy cleanup and M04 safe-session Vault cutover changed the operational topology. Old W3/M02 restore evidence is not enough for Vault destruction decisions because it predates the current canonical paths and `safe-session-api` local OpenSSH CA signer mode. This is the explicit DR gate before any Vault quarantine/destructive cleanup. It exists because Claude Opus review correctly called out: prove restore before you destroy. ## Spec sources - `runbooks/dr-restore-test.md` — canonical restore drill expectations. - `runbooks/vault-quarantine-and-sunset.md` — M04 quarantine/destruction gate context. - `runbooks/safe-session-local-ca-cutover.md` — current safe-session signer topology. - `state/reports/m04-vault-phase1-inventory-2026-05-29.md` — Phase 1 Vault inventory and last-dependency evidence. - PR #619 — safe-session runtime Vault dependency removed. - PR #610 — Phase 1 inventory evidence recorded. - Issue #64 — parent Vault sunset execution lane. ## Scope Run a post-M04 DR refresh without stopping Vault, deleting data, rotating secrets, or changing runtime topology.
