docs+comments: fold back /v1/mint-aws-creds retirement (closes #72)

[hanwencheng]

Summary

PR #96 deleted the /v1/mint-aws-creds route + handlers/mint.rs + tests/mint_v2_flow.rs, but four downstream spots in operator-facing docs + 2 stale code comments still described it as live. The next operator running the runbooks top-to-bottom would have curl'd a 404 and not understood why. This patch folds the doc + comment fixes back into the tree per the project's Runbook-fix-fold-back + Land-the-fix policies.

It also explicitly closes #72 — GitHub did not auto-close it from PR #96's body (the closing keyword likely failed regex match because the issue number was inside ** bold-markup).

What landed

• docs/dev-setup.md:110 — rewrite the daemon-side mint description from "calls broker's POST /v1/mint-aws-creds" to the actual current flow (/v1/mint-oidc-jwt + client-side sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity).
• crates/agentkeys-broker-server/src/env.rs:24 — drop the stale "(broker-internal, used by /v1/mint-aws-creds)" parenthetical on the SessionJwt env group; name the actual consumers (email-link / OAuth2 mint paths + /v1/mint-oidc-jwt).
• crates/agentkeys-broker-server/src/main.rs:128 — drop the stale comment about mint_v2 mirroring rows into the audit log (mint_v2 was deleted in PR Retire legacy mock-server endpoints + /v1/mint-aws-creds + /v1/auth/exchange (closes #77, #72, #78) #96); name /v1/mint-oidc-jwt as the current writer.
• docs/operator-runbook-stage7.md:
  • ASCII trust-relationship diagram (L138-146): change the request label from /v1/mint-aws-creds to /v1/mint-oidc-jwt.
  • "Mint-time STS paths (issue broker: mint-aws-creds is broken after cloud-setup §4 federation lands #71)" section (L370+): collapse the "two endpoints" framing into a single-path section; replace the whole POST /v1/mint-aws-creds — server-side gated subsection with a one-paragraph retirement callout (operators searching for the old path find a clear "this is gone" note instead of an apparently-live description).
• docs/stage7-demo-and-verification.md:
  • §5 intro (L1441): drop "two paths" framing.
  • §5.2 "The server-side aggregator" (L1517-1552): delete entirely (it pointed into a deleted handlers/mint.rs#L125 and a deleted tests/mint_v2_flow.rs#L201); old §5.3 renumbers to §5.2.
  • §12.2 "Idempotency-Key" (L1945+): rewrite to explain the server-side dedup layer is gone with the route — /v1/mint-oidc-jwt's short TTL + daemon-side JWT cache cover the same use case without server help.
  • §15 "Future work" bullet (L2185): update "Retire /v1/mint-aws-creds entirely" from a forward-looking TODO to "✅ Done in PR Retire legacy mock-server endpoints + /v1/mint-aws-creds + /v1/auth/exchange (closes #77, #72, #78) #96", with the rationale of where the dropped gates (try_consume / Idempotency-Key / multi-anchor) went.
  • §16 audit-trail (L2425): rewrite the "hit /v1/mint-aws-creds for server-side audit row coverage" note — that path no longer exists; AWS CloudTrail's AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity events are now the STS-side trail.

5 files changed, +65 / -122 (net deletion).

What did NOT land

All plan steps shipped. None deferred. The patch is doc + comment only; no behavioral or interface changes.

Test plan

• cargo build -p agentkeys-broker-server clean (34s, exit 0) — confirms the comment-only edits to env.rs + main.rs did not break the build.
• grep -rn "mint-aws-creds\|mint_aws_creds" crates/ docs/ — only intentional retirement-callout references remain (e.g. "the route now returns 404 — daemons that still try to call it will see a hard failure"); all "as if live" references are gone.
• Manual verification: curl -i https://broker.litentry.org/v1/mint-aws-creds returns 404 (already verified at PR Retire legacy mock-server endpoints + /v1/mint-aws-creds + /v1/auth/exchange (closes #77, #72, #78) #96 merge time per Retire legacy mock-server endpoints + /v1/mint-aws-creds + /v1/auth/exchange (closes #77, #72, #78) #96's test plan; out of scope here since this PR doesn't change the broker binary).

Codex adversarial review — second pass

Ran /codex challenge against the original PR; Codex found 3 P1 + 2 P2 failures that the first pass missed. Follow-up commit 969386a addresses every one. The PR went from claim-1/2/3 FAIL to claim-1/2/3 PASS after this commit.

[P1] Stale endpoint references in operator-runbook-stage7.md

Two sections I missed kept describing the deleted endpoint as live:

• §L540 Migration window — implicit-grant fallback pointed at deleted src/handlers/mint.rs::mint_v2 and described a Phase E flip (BROKER_REQUIRE_EXPLICIT_GRANT=true) that no longer has a consumption point.
• §L698 Idempotency-Key claimed the mint endpoint accepts the header and dedups bodies within a 5-minute window. No surviving route honors it.

Both converted to retirement callouts.

[P1] Factually-wrong rewrite in stage7-demo-and-verification.md:1949

My §12.2 rewrite invented "the daemon caches the JWT in-process" as a rationale for dropping idempotency dedup. Codex correctly pointed out that crates/agentkeys-provisioner/src/aws_creds.rs::fetch_via_broker calls fetch_oidc_jwt + assume_role_with_jwt every invocation — no cache layer. Rewrote with the actual truth (clients must batch / dedup themselves, with a code reference).

[P1] docs/spec/plans/issue-64/PLAN.md describes deleted surface as live spec

The plan doc still treated /v1/mint-aws-creds, Phase B grant try_consume, and Idempotency-Key as live with passing acceptance criteria. Added a retirement preamble at the top of PLAN.md flagging that those surfaces were deleted in PR #96 and pointing readers at arch.md §17.2 for the current isolation contract. The prd.json acceptance entries stay as-is to preserve the audit record.

[P2] Stale code comments

• state.rs:42-46 — grant_store re-cast from "the mint endpoint consults this" to "backs /v1/grant/* CRUD endpoints".
• state.rs:52-55 — idempotency_store flagged as "slated for removal" (the only consumer is gone). Follow-up task spawned to delete the store + remove the field; that's beyond the scope of this PR (a doc/comment fold-back) but worth tracking.
• aws_creds.rs:32 + aws_creds.rs::build_session_name doc + matches_broker_format test comment — drop references to deleted handlers/mint.rs::build_session_name.
• tests/grant_flow.rs:8 — drop "covered in mint_v2_flow separately" (that test file is deleted).
• tests/oidc_flow.rs:181 — drop "(parity with /v1/mint-aws-creds)".

[P2] PrincipalTag terminology drift

operator-runbook-stage7.md:372 said creds carry agentkeys_user_wallet, but arch.md §17.2's per-actor isolation invariant is agentkeys_actor_omni. Code emits both for v0.1 bucket-policy back-compat. Rewrote to lead with the §17.2-canonical tag, per the Terminology-source-of-truth rule in CLAUDE.md.

Additional stale references the second-pass grep caught

Codex's challenge prompted me to repeat the repo-wide grep — found 3 more spots outside the first commit:

• aws_creds.rs:32 field-shape comment (fixed above).
• tests/grant_flow.rs + tests/oidc_flow.rs (fixed above).
• docs/spec/plans/issue-74-dev-key-service-plan.md:81 ASCII diagram showing /v1/mint-aws-creds as a live arrow (deleted from diagram + inline retirement note).

Out of scope (flagged separately)

• IdempotencyStore dead-code removal — the field is initialized in boot.rs:189, threaded into AppState, and has zero live callers post-Retire legacy mock-server endpoints + /v1/mint-aws-creds + /v1/auth/exchange (closes #77, #72, #78) #96. Real code cleanup, separate concern. Follow-up task chip surfaced for the operator.
• docs/spec/plans/development-stages.md:23 — historical "Stage 7 phase 1 (2026-04)" table entry; date-anchored, accurate at that stage, not rewritten.

Verdict

Codex re-runnable for verification:

/codex challenge against branch claude/distracted-albattani-e67a4f

All three original claims (a) all live references converted/removed, (b) factual accuracy of surviving-flow descriptions, (c) dropped gates non-load-bearing — now pass after this commit.

cargo build -p agentkeys-broker-server -p agentkeys-provisioner clean.
