+## agentvault seed-outpost
+
+`agentvault seed-outpost --outpost <name> --dest-path <kv/path>` does the whole
+flow in-process:
+
+1. AppRole login (shared `approleLogin`), then KV-v2 read of
+   `kv/service/authentik/agent-api-token` (field `token`, falling back to
+   `api_token`).
+2. `GET /api/v3/outposts/instances/?search=<name>` — Authentik's `search` is a
+   substring match, so the exact `name` is re-checked client-side.
+3. `GET /api/v3/core/tokens/<token_identifier>/view_key/` for the key.
+4. KV-v2 write to `--dest-path` under `--dest-key` (default `token`).
+
+Only the outpost name, token identifier, dest path and new KV version are
+printed. Errors are wrapped per stage (login / read denied / outpost missing /
+view_key / write denied) via the `ErrVaultDenied`, `ErrVaultNotFound` and
+`ErrOutpostNotFound` sentinels.
+
+## agentvault seed-oauth
+
+`agentvault seed-oauth --path <kv/path> --client-id <id>` makes a KV-v2 path
+hold a complete oauth2-proxy credential set, in-process:
+
+1. AppRole login (shared `approleLogin`), then a KV-v2 read via
+   `ReadKVOptional` — a 404 or a deleted version means "empty", not an error,
+   so the first seed of a path works.
+2. Desired keys are computed over the existing map: `client_id` from the flag
+   (`kept`/`created`/`updated`), `client_secret` and `cookie_secret` generated
+   from 32 `crypto/rand` bytes only when absent or when `--rotate` is set
+   (`kept`/`created`/`rotated`). `cookie_secret` is base64url so it decodes to
+   exactly the 32 bytes oauth2-proxy demands; `client_secret` is standard
+   base64.
+3. Any other key on the path is carried through unchanged (`preserved`), which
+   is why the write goes through `WriteKVAny` rather than `WriteKV`.
+4. The write is skipped entirely when nothing changed; the command then prints
+   `version: unchanged`.
+
+Only key names, per-key actions and the new KV version are printed. Errors are
+wrapped per stage (login / read denied / write denied) via `ErrVaultDenied`.
+
 ## Gotchas

 - `watchpr` exits 0 with no output changes on `--once` (just prints state).
 - The token cache is process-wide (`sync.Once`); tests call the unexported
  `fetchGiteaToken` to avoid it.
+- `agentvault` never puts a secret in an error string: Vault decode failures and
+  Authentik `view_key` responses are reported without their bodies, and
+  `seed-oauth` reports key names only.
+- `--rotate` regenerates the `client_secret` too, which then no longer matches
+  the IdP provider unless that is rotated alongside.
 - CI "combined status" comes from `/commits/{sha}/status`; an empty head SHA
  yields an empty state without an API call.

+## agentvault
+
+Deterministic Vault flows, each a single self-contained invocation: the tool
+reads and writes the secrets itself, and prints only identifiers.
+
+### seed-outpost
+
+Copy an Authentik outpost's token into Vault KV-v2. `agentvault` reads the
+Authentik API token from `kv/service/authentik/agent-api-token`, resolves the
+named outpost's `token_identifier`, fetches its key via
+`/api/v3/core/tokens/<identifier>/view_key/` and writes it to the destination
+KV path. The token value is never printed or logged.
+
+```bash
+agentvault seed-outpost \
+  --outpost k8s-outpost \
+  --dest-path kubernetes/namespace/authentik/default/outpost-token
+```
+
+```
+outpost:          k8s-outpost
+token_identifier: ak-outpost-k8s-outpost
+dest:             kv/kubernetes/namespace/authentik/default/outpost-token
+version:          3
+```
+
+Re-running is safe: it writes a new KV version. Flags: `--outpost` and
+`--dest-path` are required; `--dest-key` (default `token`), `--kv-mount`
+(default `kv`), `--token-path` (default `service/authentik/agent-api-token`) and
+`--authentik-url` override the rest.
+
+Errors name the failing stage: AppRole login, KV read denied (policy not
+applied), outpost not found (terraform not applied), `view_key` failure, or KV
+write denied.
+
+### seed-oauth
+
+Make a Vault KV-v2 path hold a complete oauth2-proxy credential set. It is a
+read-modify-write: `client_id` is set from the flag, `client_secret` and
+`cookie_secret` are generated (32 bytes from `crypto/rand`) only when missing,
+every other key on the path is written back untouched, and nothing is written
+at all when the secret is already correct. `cookie_secret` is base64url so it
+decodes to exactly the 32 bytes oauth2-proxy requires.
+
+```bash
+agentvault seed-oauth \
+  --path kubernetes/namespace/repospawner/default/oauth-credentials \
+  --client-id 4f1c…
+```
+
+```
+path:          kv/kubernetes/namespace/repospawner/default/oauth-credentials
+keys:          client_id, client_secret, cookie_secret
+  client_id:     created
+  client_secret: kept
+  cookie_secret: created
+version:       4
+```
+
+That is the common case: the provider's `client_secret` already lives on the
+path, so only the missing keys are added. A run with nothing to do prints
+`version:       unchanged` and issues no write.
+
+Flags: `--path` and `--client-id` are required; `--kv-mount` (default `kv`) and
+`--rotate` override the rest. `--rotate` regenerates both secrets — only use it
+when the IdP provider's secret is being rotated alongside, since a rotated
+`client_secret` no longer matches the provider.
+
+Errors name the failing stage: AppRole login, KV read denied, or KV write
+denied. Only key names, actions and the KV version are printed.

Unset env still resolves to gitea/creds/unkin-agent, so existing callers are unchanged. - Thread the creds path through fetchGiteaToken/readGiteaCreds instead of reading a package-level const, and report it in the error messages. - Make agentpr's help text login-agnostic and document both variables.	2026-08-30 00:50:35 +10:00
