```

### 3.2 Access Control Rules

| Rule | Detail | Enforcement |
|:-----|:--------|:------------|
| **Owner** | @yonks 🎯 is sole owner of all 8 orgs | Gitea org owner role |
| **Admin Delegation** | @GTM:ADMIN is admin on WeOwnChat, WeOwnAI, WeOwnDev | Gitea org admin role |
| **Agent Accounts** | Each AI agent has a unique Gitea account | Per-agent SSH/GPG keys |
| **Read Access** | Default: agents can read repos relevant to their function | Gitea collaborator settings |
| **Write Access** | Only to repos the agent needs to modify | Gitea collaborator settings |
| **No Anonymous Write** | No public write access to any repo | Gitea org settings |
| **2FA Required** | All human accounts require 2FA | Gitea org enforcement |

### 3.3 Repository-Level Security

| Setting | Required | Notes |
|:--------|:--------:|:------|
| **Branch Protection (main)** | ✅ | No direct pushes. Require PR + review. |
| **Required Approvals** | 1 (or 2 for governance repos) | At least 1 human or admin agent review |
| **Dismiss Stale Approvals** | ✅ | When new commits are pushed |
| **Require Signed Commits** | ✅ | GPG or SSH signature required |
| **Require Linear History** | ✅ | No merge commits. Rebase only. |
| **Allow Force Push** | ❌ | Never on main branch |
| **Enable Push To Create** | ❌ | Branch creation via UI or API only |

### 3.4 SSH Key Management

| Practice | Standard |
|:---------|:---------|
| **Key Type** | Ed25519 (preferred) or RSA 4096-bit |
| **Key Rotation** | Every 90 days for human accounts, every 180 days for agent accounts |
| **Agent Keys** | Generated per-agent, stored in agent's encrypted config |
| **Revocation** | Within 1 hour of suspected compromise |
| **Audit** | SSH key list reviewed monthly by @yonks 🎯 |

---

## §4. 🗝️ SECRETS MANAGEMENT

### 4.1 What Constitutes a Secret

| Category | Examples | Severity |
|:---------|:---------|:--------:|
| 🔴 **Critical** | API keys, database passwords, private keys, JWT secrets, Cloudflare tokens | **CRITICAL** |
| 🟠 **High** | SMTP credentials, OAuth tokens, SSH private keys | **HIGH** |
| 🟡 **Medium** | Internal service URLs, non-critical tokens | **MEDIUM** |
| 🟢 **Low** | Non-sensitive configuration values | **LOW** |

### 4.2 Secret Storage

| Secret Type | Storage Location | Access Method |
|:------------|:-----------------|:--------------|
| **Cloudflare API Token** | Environment variable (WeOwnChat instance) | `process.env.CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN` |
| **Twilio Credentials** | Environment variable (WeOwnChat instance) | `process.env.TWILIO_*` |
| **Persona.com API Key** | Environment variable (F1visaNet instance) | `process.env.PERSONA_API_KEY` |
| **Gitea Access Tokens** | Gitea user settings → Applications | Per-agent token with scoped permissions |
| **GitHub Personal Access Token** | Environment variable (CI/CD instance) | `process.env.GH_PAT` |
| **AI Model API Keys** | Environment variable (per-instance) | `process.env.LLM_API_KEY` |

### 4.3 Prohibited Practices

| Practice | Why It's Prohibited |
|:---------|:--------------------|
| ❌ **Committing secrets to repos** | Anyone with repo access can read them. Git history is permanent. |
| ❌ **Secrets in environment config files** | Config files can be accidentally committed. Use env vars or secret vaults. |
| ❌ **Secrets in agent prompts** | Prompts are shared across instances. Never embed API keys in system prompts. |
| ❌ **Secrets in logs or error messages** | Logs may be stored or shared. Redact secrets before logging. |
| ❌ **Sharing secrets via unencrypted channels** | Never share secrets via Signal, Discord, or email without encryption. |
| ❌ **Hardcoded test/demo secrets** | Even "demo" secrets create risk if they resemble real credentials. |

### 4.4 Secret Rotation Schedule

| Secret Type | Rotation Frequency | Responsible |
|:------------|:------------------:|:------------|
| Cloudflare API Token | Every 90 days | @GTM:ADMIN |
| Twilio Auth Token | Every 180 days | @GTM:ADMIN |
| Persona.com API Key | Every 180 days | @GTM:ADMIN or @NIK |
| Gitea Access Tokens | Every 90 days | Per-agent |
| SSH Keys (Agent) | Every 180 days | Per-agent |
| SSH Keys (Human) | Every 90 days | Human operator |
| AI Model API Keys | Every 90 days | @GTM:ADMIN |

---

## §5. 🤖 AGENT SECURITY

### 5.1 Agent Identity & Authentication

| Requirement | Standard |
|:------------|:---------|
| **Unique Identity** | Every AI agent has a unique Gitea account (e.g., `ai-gtm`, `ai-drpbot-p05`) |
| **SSH Key** | Each agent has a unique Ed25519 SSH key registered to their Gitea account |
| **Access Token** | Each agent has a scoped Gitea access token for API operations |
| **Agent Signature** | Every commit by an agent includes `Author: AI:<agent-name>` in the commit message |
| **CCC-ID** | Every agent action is traceable via CCC-ID in the commit or issue |

### 5.2 Agent Permission Matrix

| Agent | Gitea Account | Read Orgs | Write Orgs | Token Scope |
|:------|:--------------|:----------|:-----------|:------------|
| **AI:@GTM 🎯** | `ai-gtm` | ALL (8) | WeOwnChat, WeOwnAI, WeOwnDev | Read: all, Write: selected repos |
| **AI:@NIK 🤖** | `ai-nik` | WeOwnChat, F1visaNet | WeOwnChat (limited) | Read: selected, Write: _PROMPTS_/ only |
| **DRP.bot P05 🔬** | `ai-drpbot-p05` | DRPbot, WeOwnAI, MetaCouncil | DRPbot, WeOwnAI | Read: research, Write: _CASE-STUDIES_/ |
| **DRP.bot P08 🔬** | `ai-drpbot-p08` | DRPbot, WeOwnAI, MetaCouncil | DRPbot | Read: research, Write: _LOGS_/ |
| **Sage 🪷** | `ai-sage` | VSAbot, WeOwnAI | VSAbot | Read: all VSA, Write: VSA reports |
| **DeepPro 🌊** | `ai-deeppro` | WeOwnAI, DRPbot | WeOwnAI (limited) | Read: governance, Write: _GOVERNANCE_/ |
| **Surge ⚡** | `ai-surge` | WeOwnDev, WeOwnAI | WeOwnDev | Read: development, Write: engineering repos |
| **Aegis 🛡️** | `ai-aegis` | ALL (8) — read only | NONE | Read: all, Write: none (audit only) |
| **✅ VSA.bot** | `ai-vsabot` | VSAbot, WeOwnAI | VSAbot | Read: VSA + governance, Write: VSA reports |
| **MiMo 🧪** | `ai-mimo` | MAIT, WeOwnAI | MAIT | Read: test configs, Write: test results |

### 5.3 Agent Behavioral Security

| Rule | Description |
|:-----|:------------|
| **No Autonomous PR Merges** | AI agents may create PRs but NEVER merge them. R-011 applies. |
| **No Secret Access in Prompts** | Agents must NOT output or reference secrets in their responses. |
| **No External Data Exfiltration** | Agents must NOT send source documents to external LLM endpoints. |
| **Rate Limiting Awareness** | Agents must respect API rate limits and back off on 429 responses. |
| **Session Token Handling** | Agents must NOT store or reuse expired session tokens. |
| **Error Message Safety** | Agents must NOT include secrets, tokens, or credentials in error messages. |

### 5.4 Agent Vulnerability Categories

| Vulnerability | Risk | Mitigation |
|:--------------|:----:|:-----------|
| **Prompt Injection** | 🔴 | Input sanitization. Quarantine untrusted content. |
| **Tool Confusion** | 🟠 | Tool-First protocol. Verify tool returns before analysis. |
| **Secret Leakage** | 🔴 | Never output credentials. Redact in logs. |
| **Session Hijacking** | 🟠 | Short token TTL. Refresh on each interaction. |
| **Data Poisoning** | 🟡 | Verify source documents. Cross-reference with GH raw URLs. |
| **Model Hallucination** | 🟡 | Tool-First verification. Source all claims. |
