| 3 | +# TSDM Assessment — Reasonably Good Token Vault |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +**Date:** 2026-03-16 |
| 6 | +**Method:** Triaxial Software Development Methodology |
| 7 | +**Assessor:** Claude Opus 4.6 + Feedback-o-Tron |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Scoring Key |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Each item scored on three axes (1-5 each, max combined = 15): |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- **Scope**: must (5) | intend (3) | like (1) |
| 14 | +- **Maintenance**: corrective (5) | adaptive (3) | perfective (1) |
| 15 | +- **Audit**: systems (5) | compliance (3) | effects (1) |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Triggered By |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Claude Code credential exposure incident (anthropics/claude-code#34819). |
| 20 | +An LLM displayed the full contents of `~/.netrc` including 8 service |
| 21 | +tokens. RGTV's mission is to prevent exactly this class of failure. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +--- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Sprint 1 — "Stop the Bleeding" (Corrective, Must, Systems) |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### 1.1 AI Agent Credential Interception Layer — Score: 15 (5+5+5) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +**The incident that created this sprint.** LLMs should NEVER be able to |
| 30 | +read credential files. RGTV needs an interception layer that: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Intercepts read attempts on `~/.netrc`, `~/.npmrc`, `~/.cargo/credentials`, |
| 33 | + `~/.docker/config.json`, `~/.kube/config`, `~/.aws/credentials`, |
| 34 | + `~/.ssh/id_*`, `~/.gnupg/`, `~/.config/gh/hosts.yml` |
| 35 | +- Returns "RGTV: credential access denied — use `svalinn-cli get <guid>`" |
| 36 | +- Logs the attempt with full context (which process, which file, timestamp) |
| 37 | +- Works via FUSE overlay, LD_PRELOAD, or seccomp-bpf filter |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +This is MUST + CORRECTIVE + SYSTEMS = maximum priority. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### 1.2 Vault-Managed .netrc — Score: 15 (5+5+5) |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Replace raw `~/.netrc` with a vault-managed version: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- `svalinn-cli netrc export` → generates a temporary .netrc with TTL |
| 46 | +- `svalinn-cli netrc lock` → replaces .netrc with a stub pointing to vault |
| 47 | +- `svalinn-cli netrc inject <command>` → runs command with .netrc in env only |
| 48 | +- Tokens never touch disk in plaintext |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### 1.3 Vault-Managed npm/cargo/docker tokens — Score: 15 (5+5+5) |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Same pattern for every credential file type: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- `svalinn-cli inject npm publish` → npm gets token via env, not .npmrc |
| 55 | +- `svalinn-cli inject cargo publish` → cargo gets token via env, not credentials.toml |
| 56 | +- `svalinn-cli inject docker push` → docker gets token via env, not config.json |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### 1.4 LLM Guardrail Integration — Score: 13 (5+3+5) |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Provide a Claude Code hook / MCP tool that: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +- Registers with Claude Code's hook system (pre-tool-call) |
| 63 | +- Intercepts any Bash command containing `cat`, `grep`, `head`, `tail`, |
| 64 | + `Read` targeting known credential file paths |
| 65 | +- Returns a safe alternative: "Use `svalinn-cli get` instead" |
| 66 | +- Works as a Claude Code `/hook` or MCP tool_use guard |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +--- |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +## Sprint 2 — "Make It Real" (Adaptive, Must, Compliance) |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### 2.1 ATS Vault Core Completion — Score: 11 (5+3+3) |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +The ATS (Applied Type System) core exists but needs completion: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +- Dependent types proving no plaintext credential persists after delivery |
| 77 | +- Fragment reassembly with automatic zeroing |
| 78 | +- Session key rotation on every access |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### 2.2 Post-Quantum Key Exchange — Score: 11 (5+3+3) |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Kyber-1024 + Dilithium5 implementation via Zig FFI: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +- Key encapsulation for vault unlock |
| 85 | +- Digital signatures for credential attestation |
| 86 | +- Hybrid mode (classical + PQ) for backwards compatibility |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +### 2.3 GUID Fragment Storage — Score: 11 (5+3+3) |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Complete the fragment-and-scatter storage: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +- Each credential split into N fragments (configurable, default 5) |
| 93 | +- Fragments stored with GUID keys (no relation to credential identity) |
| 94 | +- Reassembly requires all fragments + master key + TOTP |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### 2.4 Container Hardening — Score: 11 (5+3+3) |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +The Containerfile and SELinux policies exist but need: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +- Chainguard base image (per standards) |
| 101 | +- seccomp-bpf profile restricting syscalls |
| 102 | +- Read-only root filesystem |
| 103 | +- Minimal capabilities (no CAP_NET_RAW, no CAP_SYS_ADMIN) |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +--- |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +## Sprint 3 — "Make It Trustworthy" (Corrective, Intend, Systems) |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +### 3.1 Formal Verification Suite — Score: 13 (3+5+5) |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +Extend the Idris2 proofs: |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +- Prove no credential leaks through the delivery container API |
| 114 | +- Prove fragment reassembly is correct (all fragments → original) |
| 115 | +- Prove zeroing completeness (no residual data in memory) |
| 116 | +- Prove GUID mapping is injective (no collisions) |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +### 3.2 Honeypot Enhancement — Score: 9 (3+3+3) |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +The honeypot layer exists. Enhance: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +- Log attacker fingerprints to VeriSimDB |
| 123 | +- Feed honeypot data to Hypatia for pattern learning |
| 124 | +- Canary tokens that alert on use |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +### 3.3 Audit Logging — Score: 11 (3+3+5) |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +Every vault access produces an immutable audit record: |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +- Who accessed (user, process, PID) |
| 131 | +- What was accessed (GUID, not credential name) |
| 132 | +- When (timestamp with NTP verification) |
| 133 | +- Outcome (success, denied, error) |
| 134 | +- Signed with Dilithium5 (tamper-evident) |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +--- |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +## Sprint 4 — "Make It Usable" (Perfective, Intend, Effects) |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### 4.1 Ada TUI — Score: 5 (3+1+1) |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +The Ada CLI exists. Add a TUI: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +- ncurses-style interface for credential management |
| 145 | +- Colour-coded security levels |
| 146 | +- GUID browser with search |
| 147 | +- Fragment health visualization |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +### 4.2 PanLL Integration Panel — Score: 7 (3+1+3) |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +RGTV panel in PanLL: |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +- Panel-L: vault security policies and constraints |
| 154 | +- Panel-N: Hypatia pattern analysis of access attempts |
| 155 | +- Panel-W: credential inventory (GUIDs only), audit log |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +### 4.3 BoJ Cartridge — Score: 7 (3+1+3) |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +`vault-mcp` cartridge for BoJ: |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +- `vault/get` — retrieve credential by GUID |
| 162 | +- `vault/inject` — run command with credential in env |
| 163 | +- `vault/audit` — show access log |
| 164 | +- `vault/rotate` — rotate a credential |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +--- |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +## Sprint 5 — "Make It Standard" (Perfective, Like, Compliance) |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +### 5.1 OpenSSF Badge — Score: 3 (1+1+1) |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +Submit for Passing/Silver badge. |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +### 5.2 Security Audit — Score: 5 (1+1+3) |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +Commission external security audit (requires funding). |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +### 5.3 Package Distribution — Score: 3 (1+1+1) |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +Nix flake, Guix package, Flatpak, AUR, Debian package. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +--- |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +## Priority Summary |
| 185 | + |
