Jon Chery d5bae868a4 feat(P2): Nova rebrand — code/env-vars/consumer-path (REQ-158/159/160)
core/env.py dual-read helper (D-108); 21 ACDL_*→NOVA_* env vars migrated
across core/scripts/adapters/tests/workflows + .env/.env.secrets (key
rename, values stay). G-106 binding: run_platform.sh:288-289 +
regression_verify.py:309-312 dual-read (NOVA first, ACDL fallback).
G-108 binding: Gitea NOVA_* secrets created via API + workflow secrets:
refs updated (deploy.yml + modules-lifecycle.yml, .gitea + .github).
acdl_tagging.py→nova_tagging.py (D-109 warn mode, nova:* enforced).
.acdl/→.nova/ consumer path (resolver + deploy workflow + schema +
tests + docs). Test fixtures updated; pytest + run_ci.sh PASS.

# Nova Custom Checkov Rules
This directory holds Nova-authored Checkov custom rules, written in the
[Checkov Python custom-rule framework](https://www.checkov.io/4.Contributing/Custom%20Policies.html).
## Files
- `nova_tagging.py``NOVA_TAG_NAMING` (D-054, D-109 warn mode in P2):
ensures every taggable AWS resource carries the four required Nova tags
(`nova:owner`, `nova:contract`, `nova:environment`, `nova:cost-center`).
This rule replaces the synthetic SKIPPED `NOVA_TAG_NAMING` record that the
Checkov adapter previously emitted (D-043 closure). Renamed from
`acdl_tagging.py` / `ACDL_TAG_NAMING` in P2 (REQ-158). The canonical tag
set is declared in [`schemas/tagging-standard.json`](../../../schemas/tagging-standard.json).
**P2 warn mode (D-109):** existing resources still carry `acdl:*` tag-key
values (left for P3). When a resource has only `acdl:*`-style tags and no
`nova:*` tags, the rule logs a WARNING instead of failing, so the
regression gate stays green during the parallel-tag transition window.
P3 flips to hard-fail once `nova:*` tags are emitted in parallel and the
ABAC policy is swapped.
## How Checkov loads them
Checkov custom rules are discovered via the `--external-checks-dir` flag.
`scripts/run_platform.sh` invokes Checkov with:
```
checkov -f terraform/spike/main.tf --framework terraform -o json --soft-fail \
--external-checks-dir adapters/terraform/policy/custom_rules/
```
Checkov imports each `*.py` file in the directory and instantiates the
module-level `check` object (see the `check = NovaTaggingStandard()` line at
the bottom of `nova_tagging.py`).
## Severity / result mapping
The Checkov adapter (`adapters/terraform/policy/checkov_adapter.py`)
maps `NOVA_TAG_NAMING` to `(tagging-standard, medium)` in `RULE_MAP`. The
custom rule therefore produces real `PASS`/`FAIL` PolicyCheckResult records,
feeding the confidence signal instead of the old SKIPPED placeholder.
