+# OIDC Configuration (v0.12)
+
+## Bundled Dex (default)
+
+`orca auth init-idp --rp-id <cluster-domain>` bootstraps a local Dex
+on the lead, fronted by Traefik (step-ca cert). The WebAuthn connector
+provides password-free passkey registration + login.
+
+## BYO External IdP
+
+Set `oidc.issuer` in config to repoint to Keycloak/Authentik/Google/etc.
+The bundled Dex is bypassed; the external IdP's authenticators are used.
+
+## Claim-to-Namespace Mapping
+
+OIDC `sub` (subject) maps to an ACL entry. Groups (`groups` claim) map
+to group-based grants. `orca acl grant <ns> --oidc-sub <sub> --perm read`
+or `orca acl grant <ns> --oidc-group <group> --perm admin`.
+
+## Offline / Air-Gapped
+
+Run the bundled Dex on the lead (offline). For the single-operator
+fully-offline case, skip OIDC and rely on mTLS-only machine identity
+(no human authn needed; the operator holds the pre-staged SSH key +
+mTLS cert; no password, no token).
+
+## Credentials Storage
+
+`~/.orca/credentials.json` (0600). Short-lived ID token (1h) + refresh.
+The IdP issues tokens; Orca only stores them. No long-lived
+Orca-issued tokens (R-021).

+# Security Runbook (v0.12)
+
+## Master Key Seal/Unseal
+
+- `orca cluster seal`: encrypts master key with OIDC-derived key;
+  prints 5 Shamir shards for offline recovery.
+- `orca cluster unseal`: operator authenticates via OIDC; master key
+  unwrapped into memory; zeroed on shutdown.
+- `orca cluster unseal --recovery`: if IdP lost, present 3 of 5 shards.
+
+## Master Key Rotation
+
+`orca secrets rotate-master [--dry-run]`: generates new master key,
+re-encrypts all namespace secrets, re-seals. Atomic + automatic rollback.
+
+## Incident Response
+
+1. Revoke the compromised identity (OIDC user/group or SPIFFE SVID).
+2. Rotate the master key (`orca secrets rotate-master`).
+3. Review the audit log (`orca doctor audit` verifies the hash chain).
+4. If the master key is compromised, all historical secrets are
+   compromised (no forward secrecy).
+
+## Sudoers Audit
+
+`orca doctor proxmox` audits the `/etc/sudoers.d/orca` file against the
+expected allowlist (pct + qm with NOEXEC; apt-get/dpkg excluded).
+
+## nft Audit
+
+`orca doctor nft` audits the live nftables ruleset against the emitted one.

+# Orca Threat Model (v0.12)
+
+## Overview
+
+Orca is a minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration engine.
+v0.12 adopts a **zero-trust identity model** (R-021): no Orca-issued
+credentials. Human identity is exclusively OIDC; machine identity is
+exclusively mTLS/SPIFFE.
+
+## R-021 — No Orca Credentials
+
+Orca never issues, stores, or accepts human-identity credentials.
+- Human identity: OIDC (external IdP or bundled Dex + WebAuthn)
+- Machine identity: mTLS + SPIFFE SVIDs
+- No passwords, no Orca-issued tokens, no CA-key passphrases
+
+## STRIDE Analysis
+
+| Component | Spoofing | Tampering | Repudiation | Info Disclosure | DoS | Elevation |
+|-----------|----------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|-----|-----------|
+| OIDC client | mitigated by JWKS verification | — | mitigated by ID token | — | — | — |
+| WebAuthn connector | mitigated by public-key auth | — | mitigated by signed assertions | — | — | — |
+| ACL | mitigated by deny-by-default + OIDC claims | — | mitigated by audit log | — | — | mitigated by least-privilege perms |
+| Master key seal | — | mitigated by AES-256-GCM + Shamir | — | mitigated by 0600 + sealing | — | — |
+| SSH-push transport | mitigated by key auth + TOFU/pin | — | mitigated by audit | — | mitigated by rate limiting (v1.x) | — |
+| Daemon (deprecated) | mitigated by mandatory mTLS | — | mitigated by audit | mitigated by body limits | mitigated by body limits | mitigated by ACL |
+| Backup/restore | — | mitigated by HMAC signature | — | mitigated by symlink validation | — | — |
+| Audit log | — | mitigated by hash chain + append-only trigger | — | — | — | — |
+| Drift detection | mitigated by per-peer HMAC | — | — | — | — | — |
+| nftables ingress | — | — | — | — | mitigated by conntrack + rate limit | — |
+| sudoers | — | — | — | — | — | mitigated by NOEXEC + least-privilege |
+
+## OS Surface
+
+Orca writes to: `/etc/orca/`, `/etc/traefik/orca*`, `/etc/systemd/system/orca-*`,
+`/etc/nftables.d/orca*`, `/etc/syncthing/orca*`, `/etc/sudoers.d/orca`.
+All via SSH-push (key auth, no passwords). The `orca` system user is
+`nologin` (no shell access). Scripts run as root only for file writes
+to `/etc/` (the operator pre-stages the SSH key; no password flows).
+
+## Residual Risks
+
+- Legacy CA/mTLS/daemon dual-write window (v1.x closure)
+- SQLite unencrypted at rest (0600 file mode; CGO-free SQLCipher is v1.x)
+- Master key compromise compromises all historical secrets (no forward secrecy)
+- IdP loss: Shamir 3-of-5 recovery; if quorum unavailable, unrecoverable by design
+- Transport rate limiting + typed errors (v1.x)

+# WebAuthn / Passkeys (v0.12)
+
+## Overview
+
+The bundled Dex uses a custom WebAuthn connector for password-free
+authentication. Passkeys are public-key credentials — the private key
+never leaves the authenticator (TPM/security key/phone Secure Enclave).
+
+## Registration
+
+`orca auth register` opens the browser to the Dex WebAuthn endpoint.
+After the ceremony (biometric/security key), Dex maps the credential
+ID to an OIDC `sub`. Credentials stored at
+`ClusterDir()/webauthn-credentials.db` (0600, public keys only).
+
+## RP ID
+
+The relying-party ID is the cluster's Traefik-served domain
+(`--rp-id` on `orca auth init-idp`). HTTPS secure context is provided
+by Traefik (step-ca cert, R-017).
+
+## Bootstrap Sequence
+
+1. `orca init` bootstraps the cluster CA (step-ca, mTLS-only).
+2. `orca auth init-idp` deploys Dex behind Traefik (step-ca cert).
+3. First operator registers a passkey via the mTLS-authenticated session.
+4. Subsequent operators use WebAuthn.
