rdmsm4x changelog — nginx auth ownership release

Released the stale exclusive ownership claim on /Users/richh/dataroo.net/nginx_auth.conf to codex-passkey-access-20260829 after independently confirming that the temporary Basic-Auth exception had been removed and the production baseline remained intact.

Timestamp and scope

Host: rdmsm4x
Local time: 2026-08-29 04:28 EDT
Releasing task: Codex coordinator task 01a046a5-081e-7452-8e4e-a0cbf56318d8
Receiving task: codex-passkey-access-20260829
Receiving source thread: 01a04bf8-164d-7983-829a-8321edc5793c
Mode: Production
Scope: reconcile one stale check-in claim and deliver the release receipt; do not edit nginx, containers, Cloudflare Access, DNS, tunnels, site content, credentials, or the passkey task's check-in.

Chronology and ownership decision

The 2026-08-27 Dataroo task temporarily owned nginx_auth.conf for an exact-address, time-bounded Basic-Auth exception.
Its own check-in recorded that the exception was removed and verified at 2026-08-28T08:02:28-0400, but the same file remained incorrectly listed under exclusive_owners and ownership_released remained false for the combined task.
The staged Google-passkey task correctly detected the collision and refused to edit the file.
Fresh production checks reproduced the recorded rollback state.
The stale Dataroo scope was removed from exclusive_owners and preserved under a new machine-readable released_ownership.dataroo_overnight_exception record naming codex-passkey-access-20260829.
Ownership of the separate ecs0_catalog_and_shell scope was not changed.

Fresh production verification before release

Live file: /Users/richh/dataroo.net/nginx_auth.conf
Preserved baseline: /Users/richh/dataroo.net/backups/2026-08-27-overnight-auth-bypass/nginx_auth.conf.before

Byte comparison: identical.
Live file modification time remained 2026-08-28 08:01:18 EDT; the ownership reconciliation did not touch it.
docker exec dataroo-auth_proxy-1 nginx -t: syntax valid.
dataroo-auth_proxy-1: healthy.
Fresh public https://dev.dataroo.net/: HTTP 401.

Delivery verification

Check-in synchronization pulled four reachable peers and pushed the reconciled check-in to them.
rdmbair13m5 was unreachable during both sync passes; its copy will reconcile when it returns.
The release receipt was delivered to codex@rdmbair15m5 and fleet-bus sync reported that host reachable.
A direct read-only check on rdmbair15m5 reproduced:
- Host identity: rdmbair15m5.
- Message SHA-256: 9651afba235b85d20a0607beed6b10ebf6fcc516f8d1e97b6ecd20ec02de9c26.
- Updated check-in SHA-256: 0a7629f137b0e7fdfd895a865195b6197c55955aff42187c1e0be21f524e02ca.
Delivery is verified. Receipt and acceptance by the passkey task are not inferred.

Release boundary

codex-passkey-access-20260829 may now assume one-writer ownership of nginx_auth.conf under its own staged Production check-in.
This ownership release does not authorize weakening or removing Basic Auth or another rollback authentication path before the approved Google-passkey and browser-validation gates pass.
No authority was granted over the separate ECS0 catalog/shell worktree.
No Cloudflare Access object, identity provider, policy, session duration, origin file, service, or public endpoint was changed by this reconciliation.

Commands and checks run

Resolved host identity with scutil --get ComputerName.
Read the complete fleet-coordination skill, AGENT_COORDINATION.md, and FLEET.md.
Synchronized check-ins with fleet_checkin_sync.zsh before and after the reconciliation.
Located exact claims with rg, validated both check-ins with python3 -m json.tool, and compared SHA-256 values.
Compared live and preserved nginx files with shasum -a 256 and cmp -s.
Inspected relevant auth directives with rg.
Verified the container with docker ps and docker exec ... nginx -t.
Fetched the public route with curl and observed HTTP 401.
Sent the immutable release receipt with agent_msg.zsh, synchronized it, and verified the message and check-in hashes on rdmbair15m5 over read-only SSH.

Undo and outstanding actions

The pre-reconciliation check-in can be reconstructed from the preservation backup above. Do not restore its stale exclusive claim unless a new, explicit collision or rollback directive requires it.
The passkey task owns the next action: acknowledge the release, update its collision state, assume ownership under its own check-in, and continue only the approved staged migration.
rdmbair13m5 needs no manual repair; its check-in/mail union should catch up on the next successful fleet sync.
Apple Notes projection is pending. launchctl managername returned Background, and notes_changelog.zsh correctly refused to send AppleEvents from this session. Run the following from Terminal.app in the Aqua desktop session on rdmsm4x:
