create-admin-wallet registered a pending admin key but never latched setup, so on
a fresh instance it left the bootstrap half-open and a later `setup` collided with
it (setup's guard only checked for an ACTIVE admin; the cli key was pending).
- New atomic Database::create_admin_key_bootstrapping: under the admin-keys
advisory lock, insert the pending generated key AND latch `locked` (unless
already validly locked), append audit, commit — one transaction. Fails CLOSED on
a tampered latch (defers to reset-setup) instead of silently healing it.
- bootstrap_admin (setup) now refuses on ANY live admin key (active OR pending),
not just active, so setup composes with create-admin-wallet. The adopt-existing-
deployment path (users but no admin keys) is unaffected: no live key -> proceeds.
- reset_setup now takes the same advisory lock (all latch writers serialize) and
documents the live-key recovery path.
- CLI prints bootstrapped-vs-added and a terminating lost-secret recovery hint.
- Docs (README + OPERATOR_SETUP section 5): both mutually-exclusive bootstrap paths.
Adversarially reviewed (atomicity / lockout / regression — all ship). L1 test
extended: fresh-latch, no-relatch-when-locked, pending semantics, composition
guard, and tamper-refuse (fails closed + rolls back the key insert).
No trust-on-first-use: bootstrap mode is an explicit, MAC-protected latch
(server_config singleton), NOT inferred from "no admin keys". The latch MAC
(ADMIN_KEY_INTEGRITY_SECRET over setup_state|bootstrap_completed_at) means a
DB-write attacker who restores a pre-bootstrap backup or flips the state to
re-open TOFU produces a mismatch the boot path detects and fails closed on.
- migration 20260626000002: server_config (id=1 singleton; setup_state +
bootstrap_completed_at + integrity_mac).
- db::server_config: read_setup_state -> {Fresh,Uninitialized,Locked,Tampered}
(MAC-verified); has_any_users; init_server_config (adoption: a live upgrade
latches `locked` so it never exposes a setup window; a truly empty DB begins
uninitialized); bootstrap_admin (insert the FIRST active admin AND latch
locked + hash-chained audit, ONE tx; refuses if an active admin already
exists); reset_setup (shell recovery; recomputes MAC, preserves admin keys).
- main boot (admin enabled): adopt/await-bootstrap, and FAIL CLOSED on a tampered
latch.
- smirk-admin: `setup --pubkey` (the supported headless bootstrap) + `reset-setup
--i-understand`.
- 1 L1 test: Fresh -> locked(valid) -> wrong-secret Tampered -> raw-flip Tampered
-> reset Uninitialized -> bootstrap refused while an active admin exists.
Deferred (documented): the HTTP /setup/* wizard. Per the spec the CLI / `docker
exec` is the SUPPORTED bootstrap (pure-PaaS without shell is explicitly
unsupported), so the loopback TTY wizard is a later convenience, not load-bearing.
