Thanks for taking this on, updating a design doc that reality has moved past is genuinely hard work, and this lands the big things well. The containment section is the clearest explanation of the model we have anywhere: the worked example of why {org: acme} matches {org: acme, project: platform} but a project caller cannot see a sibling project is exactly how this should be taught. Dropping Path A instead of leaving it dangling as "optional" was also the right instinct.
I have two changes I'd like in this PR, a few things worth capturing as follow-ups, and some small stuff. I've tried to explain the reasoning behind each one, because a couple of these lean on decisions made in other docs that you'd have no reason to have memorised.
Changes for this PR
1. Say how the AuthConfig becomes the source of truth for dimensions
You wrote:
Which dimensions are expected for a given caller is determined by the
AuthConfigrule that authenticated them, not a fixed set for the whole deployment.
This is the direction we want, so this point is not "you got it wrong", it's "let's finish the thought". Right now nothing actually carries that information from the gateway to the API. In the POC the dimension list exists in two places that must be edited together: the AuthConfig CR, and the API's own tenant config (pkg/tenant/config.go, rendered from Helm values). The POC even reminds you of this, make poc-switch-model prints "reinstall the API with matching dimensions". With both on-prem and Oracle deployments coming, two copies of the tenant model is a config drift bug waiting to happen.
The doc should describe the mechanism, and the good news is the AuthConfig already demonstrates the pattern with hf_system: an extended property set via defaults and emitted as a header. Two options worth writing up:
- Keep per-dimension headers but have Authorino also assert which dimensions the caller's rule expects, so the API validates against what the gateway says rather than its own static list.
- Or, my preference to at least evaluate: have Authorino emit the whole tenancy map as one JSON header. The API parses it and uses it directly as the containment operand, and never needs to know a dimension name at all. This also fixes a second problem for free: Envoy's header strip list is currently a hardcoded superset of both tenant models, and a new dimension header not on that list would be client-forgeable. One fixed header name means one fixed strip list forever.
Related: the sizing story "Expose tenant configuration in the Helm chart" currently builds the duplicated shape, so it needs to change to match whichever mechanism we pick.
One genuinely open question to add to Open Questions rather than solve here: in the on-prem AuthConfig, org-scoped and project-scoped users authenticate through the same rule and are told apart only by whether project_id is present in the token. Under containment, fewer dimensions means more visibility. So if a project claim quietly stops being emitted (IdP change, renamed claim, an edited when condition), a project-scoped caller silently starts seeing the whole org. Nothing fails, nothing logs. Under the old equality rule the same mistake denied everything, which was at least loud. Fixing it properly means asserting the caller's scope independently of the tenant claims (a scope claim, separate auth methods per tier, or an audience split), and that's a design conversation, not a doc edit. But the doc should name it instead of implying the AuthConfig rule already handles it.
2. Be honest about the system identity blast radius
You wrote:
The system identity write contract is: update status and conditions only, never modify or set tenant ownership fields.
The sentence is true but it implies a safety boundary that doesn't exist. Here's the background: ADR-0012 decided that the API hard-deletes a resource inside the same POST /adapter_statuses request that computes Reconciled=True. In other words, a status write is the thing that triggers permanent deletion. So a leaked or buggy adapter token is not limited to scribbling on status fields, it can drive any resource in any tenant to hard deletion, with no recovery path.
CodeRabbit flagged this too and suggested blocking delete for system identities. Don't do that, it would break ADR-0012, and force delete (ADR-0013) needs privileged deletion as well. The fix is honesty, not restriction: state that the writable-field limit does not bound what a system identity can destroy, because deletion is reached through the status path, and make sure the accepted-trade-offs bullet describes a destructive risk (currently it reads like a read-visibility risk mitigated by short-lived tokens).
Follow-ups worth capturing (a ticket or an Open Questions entry each, your call)
3. Name uniqueness and visibility use different rules
The sizing table includes "Make resource name uniqueness tenant-scoped" (that's HYPERFLEET-1473, in flight as hyperfleet-api PR #344). That lands a unique index on (kind, name, tenancy), where tenancy matches by exact equality. But reads match by containment. Different relations, and this doc now defines the second without mentioning the first. Concrete consequence:
{org: acme}creates a cluster namedprod, succeeds{org: acme, project: p1}creates a cluster namedprod, also succeeds (different tenancy document)- the org-scoped caller lists clusters and sees two things called
prod
This isn't fixable by making the index cleverer, uniqueness over a containment relation isn't something a btree can express. It needs a design statement: either names are unique within some canonical dimension, or we accept that broader-scoped callers can see duplicate names from narrower scopes and say so.
4. Creation pins visibility, one direction only
Reads widen as the caller's map shrinks, but creation stamps the resource with exactly the creator's dimensions. Two consequences worth spelling out, because right now a reader has to combine two separate paragraphs to derive them: a resource created by an org-scoped caller ({org: acme}) is invisible to every project-scoped caller in that org, since {org: acme, project: p1} is not a subset of {org: acme}. And there's no way to create a resource "into" a project you're not scoped to, because tenancy never comes from the request body. Maybe that's the product behaviour we want, but it's product-visible, so it should be stated rather than implied.
5. Rollout ordering for existing rows
Every pre-existing row has {} tenancy, and {org: acme} is not a subset of {}, so the moment enforcement turns on, every existing resource becomes invisible to every tenant-scoped caller (only system identities still see them). We're pre-production so this is cheap, but it's a hard ordering constraint, and it deserves a backfill/cutover story in the sizing table plus one line on what {} and NULL mean once filtering is live. (CodeRabbit raised this one too, and I agree with it.)
Smaller corrections
- The placeholder sentence re-introduces a bug the POC fixed. "Tenant dimension headers may still be emitted for system callers, but with a placeholder value": the placeholder was the literal string
<nil>, and the POC RESULTS.md lists it under bugs found and fixed. The actual rule is that optional tenant headers are only emitted when the claim exists (viawhenconditions), and system callers are safe because the middleware branches on the system header before reading any dimension. Worth restating so nobody builds on a placeholder being present. - Name the headers. The doc says "a dedicated system-identity header" without naming it. ADR-0018 and the POC both fix these as
x-hyperfleet-systemandx-hyperfleet-identity. Since the whole trust model is "the API trusts these headers", the names are part of the contract, define them once (here or ADR-0020) and reference from the other. - Soften the "just an
AuthConfigchange" claim. The POC's own results say the oracle swap was the AuthConfig plus an API re-render, and CodeRabbit is right that a new IdP also needs API JWT config while in-app validation exists. "Zero code changes, no rebuild" is the true and impressive claim, use that one. (If point 1 lands, the stronger claim becomes true.) - Path A's recommendation is now dead. The section still ends with "Middleware hooks as the integration point for Path A" even though Recommended Approach drops Path A and ADR-0020 rejects OPA. Mark it superseded the same way you handled
Option: Application-only (superseded), otherwise someone skims to the recommendation and stops.
Nits
- Line 78 still mentions "extracted
tenant_claimsvalues", which no longer exists anywhere in the design. - "This option is foreclosed by the gateway decision. ADR-0020" reads as a sentence plus a stray link, fold the link in.
- The regenerated ToC now includes the document title and "Table of Contents" as entries and escapes
ext\_authz, that's the generator talking, worth tidying. - "it resolves zero dimensions (no rule matched, or the matched rule expects none)": if no rule matched, Authorino already denied at the gateway, so only the second case can reach the API.
- Sizing total checks out at 38, nice.
Again, the shape of this is right and the hard parts (containment semantics, gateway-first framing, dropping OPA) are done well. Points 1 and 2 are the ones I'd like in this PR, everything under follow-ups I'm happy to see as tickets. Ping me if any of the ADR background is unclear, happy to walk through it.

On follow-up #3 (name uniqueness vs. visibility) — confirming from the implementation side, since this is HYPERFLEET-1473 (hyperfleet-api#344): The unique index is exactly what you describe. Root resources are unique on
So the example isn't hypothetical, it's the current behavior. Two implementation notes that bear on the design statement:

enforce caller-map tenancy containment in addition to kind and ID, including the
locked lookup and update predicate, so tenant-scoped callers cannot modify
resources owned by another tenant. Verify the explicit unscoped path for
system-identity status updates remains intentional and restricted to the allowed
status/conditions fields.
- Around line 231-235: Change the POST /adapter_statuses flow so a system
identity’s status or conditions update cannot implicitly trigger permanent
deletion. Separate reconciliation status from deletion, and require
operation-specific authorization plus a recoverable deletion path before hard
deletion is allowed; preserve the system identity writable-field restriction to
status and conditions.

49-52:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorMake HYPERFLEET-1476 a release prerequisite.
The document requires all traffic to pass through Envoy and Authorino, but the linked
hyperfleet-apiandhyperfleet-sentinelfindings show that the current clients still use JWT/request-context identity or direct API-service URLs without trusted headers. The selected design cannot enforce its trust boundary until routing, header injection, and direct-pod rejection are deployed. Mark HYPERFLEET-1476 as a release prerequisite and add an internal-traffic end-to-end test (CWE-863).As per path instructions: treat the gateway trust boundary as a security requirement.

| **Dimension-list propagation:** No mechanism yet carries the expected-dimension list from the gateway to the API. The tenant model exists in two places that must be edited together: the `AuthConfig` CR and the API's own tenant config, rendered from Helm values. Keeping them in sync is a manual step, and a config-drift risk once multiple tenant models are live. | ||
|
|
||
| Two options: | ||
|
|
||
| - Per-dimension headers, with Authorino also asserting the expected dimension set. The API would validate against what the gateway asserts rather than a static list. | ||
| - Single JSON tenancy header. The API parses it directly as the containment operand. | ||
|
|
||
| **Recommendation:** Single JSON tenancy header. The API needs no dimension names at all, and one fixed header name means one fixed Envoy strip list. Authorino's `json` response type is a native, documented capability for composing multiple claims into one object, so this reuses the same `defaults`/emitted-header pattern `AuthConfig` already demonstrates with `hf_system`. | ||
|
|
||
| Why not per-dimension headers with an assertion: it leaves the Envoy strip-list gap open. The strip list is a hardcoded superset of every tenant model's headers, so a new dimension header not yet added to it remains client-forgeable. It also has no existing Authorino mechanism to build on for asserting an "expected dimension set," unlike the JSON header option. |

Define and align the single JSON tenancy-header contract before implementation.
The design recommends a single JSON header but specifies no canonical name or schema. The API currently resolves separate configured dimension headers through TenantConfig and has no JSON-header binding. Define encoding, value types, duplicate and empty-value handling, size limits, and fail-closed 403 behavior. Otherwise, a reduced tenancy map can broaden @> containment access because {} matches every resource (CWE-863). Align AuthConfig, Envoy stripping, API parsing, and Helm values as one contract.

Source: Path instructions
| - Combined with the gateway decision, Path B is the minimum viable solution: the gateway authenticates and injects tenant headers, and the DAO layer scopes every read, list, delete, and existence check by containment. | ||
|
|
||
| Trade-offs: | ||
|
|
||
| - Path B is less flexible than Path A. Authorization logic lives in HyperFleet application code, not in an externally configurable policy engine. | ||
| - A new query path that bypasses the implicit filter (e.g., raw SQL) could expose cross-tenant data. Mitigated by code review, integration tests, and restricting raw queries. | ||
| - System identity bypass (`system: true`) creates a higher-privilege tier. A leaked system token grants access to all tenants. Mitigated by short-lived tokens and network-level restrictions. | ||
| - A new query path that bypasses the implicit filter (e.g., raw SQL) could expose cross-tenant data. This is mitigated by code review, integration tests per access path, and prohibiting string-built tenant predicates. | ||
| - System identity bypass creates a higher-privilege tier. A leaked or misconfigured system-identity token grants read access to all tenants, and its write access, though restricted to `status` and `conditions`, can still drive any resource in any tenant to permanent hard deletion (see [System-identity writes](#query-filtering)), with no recovery path. This is mitigated by short-lived tokens, the gateway's subject allowlist, and the NetworkPolicy restricting which pods can reach the API, though none of these bound the destructive blast radius if a token is actually compromised. |

Resolve the read-only bypass versus destructive system writes.
The DAO contract says system identities bypass tenancy on reads only, but the same design permits a status-only write to permanently delete any tenant's resource. If updates use containment, Sentinel and Adapter cannot reconcile cross-tenant resources. If they bypass it, status becomes an unrestricted destructive write (CWE-863). Define operation-specific target selection and authorization, and remove the delete side effect or require an explicit delete capability.

Not applying this, restricting status-driven deletion or requiring a separate delete capability would break ADR-0012.

Summary
Amends the multi-tenant identity and authorization design doc to align with the gateway decision (ADR-0020): gateway-first auth, JSONB tenancy storage, containment matching, refreshed sizing.
