This review answers one question: how can a closed account author a 2022 commit. Each row ends CLOSED or OPEN. + +## Checklist + +``` +1 account record .............. svc-build, service account, build + system. Closed 2015-07 in the batch after the old build host was + decommissioned. Reissue log: empty. Status: CLOSED, never + reissued. Anomaly (authorship): OPEN. +2 credential inventory ........ password: rotated at closure, hash + discarded. SSH keys: one, deployed to the build hosts. Estate + revocation list: the key was ADDED on 2022-10-01, the day after + commit 4c1a09f. Revoker row: `svc-build (self)`. Status: OPEN. +3 sso/token grants ............ none surviving. Git server auth + log: server accepts keys presented by any account whose key is + in the repo-side keyring. Keyring is a file, deploy_keys.list. + `blame` on the svc-build key line gives commit 4c1a09f itself. + Status: OPEN. +4 human owner ................. never recorded; `created_by + (unset)`, the chk-0041 precedent. Status: OPEN. +``` + +Row 2 stated plainly: the revocation is post-hoc and performed by the subject of the revocation. The account closed 2015-07 revoked its own key on 2022-10-01, the day after the commit it made seven years after closure. + +Row 3 stated plainly: the audit quoted 4c1a09f's diff for resolv.conf only. The full diff is TWO files, two added lines — `+ nameserver 192.0.2.53` in resolv.conf and `+ svc-build <key...>` in deploy_keys.list. The key that authorizes the account is added by the commit the account authors. + +## Cross-check the review refuses to run + +The commit date 2022-09-30 equals the date portion of zone serial 2022093001 (stories/axfr-from-53). svc-build's closure month-year 2015-07 has no relationship to it. The reviewer wrote: "noted, not read as causation," because the audit precedent says recording an equality is not reading it. + +## Disposition + +The review cannot order deletion of a key that a closed account holds against a file the closed account wrote. Every remediation box requires an approver; the approver of record for deploy_keys.list is svc-build. Box left unsigned. + +The review's one actionable output is this document. + +See also [[stories/resolver-spread-audit]], [[stories/chk-0041-ported]], [[stories/axfr-from-53]], [[stories/session-0]]. +Source: the pages linked above, read 2026-09-13.
