 | 8.9 `[D:8.4,8.7]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Pure Go join policy binds SteamID/player/match/server/team/slot/protocol/expiry, rejects duplicate roster slots, permits same-identity reclaim through backend loss and fences prior server-owned generations | `server/domain/reconnect.go` covers SteamID/server/slot binding, expiry, repeated reclaim, grace boundary and old-generation fencing; signed token issuance/verification, persistent leases, Godot `hello` transport and production integration remain |
 | 8.10 `[D:8.5,8.31]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Dependency-free workload credential policy validates an adapter-verified signature, issuer/audience/time bounds, namespace/service account, pod UID, GameServer UID, allocation ID, match ID and server ID before result submission; `server/workload` now parses projected compact JWTs, rejects unsigned/malformed/ambiguous tokens, verifies signing input through an injected trust callback, and delegates exact binding to the domain policy; the API exposes the workload-authenticated server result route. **`WorkloadVerify` is now wired for real** -- the blocker this row previously named (`cmd/control-plane/main.go` never wiring it, so `/register` and `/result` 503'd on every real request) is closed by taking a different, equally-valid approach instead of the Kubernetes-JWT one: `serverMutation` only ever compares `WorkloadBinding.ServerID`/`.MatchID` (and `AdvanceServerRegistration` only additionally needs `.AllocationID`) -- nothing downstream requires Namespace/ServiceAcct/PodUID/GameServerUID, so a Kubernetes-issued token was never actually required, just the assumption that it was. `server/workload/signed_token.go` mints and verifies a short-lived HMAC-signed token with a secret only the control plane holds (the same trust model `domain.SessionStore` already uses for player sessions), needing no cluster JWKS/TokenReview to validate -- signature and expiry are fully self-contained. The token binds only `allocation_id` (deliberately, not `match_id`/`server_id` too: it must be requestable in the same Agones request that asks for a server, before Agones has picked one) -- `store.AllocationBindingByAllocationID` resolves `match_id`/`server_id` durably from the `allocations` table at verify time, so a token can never claim a pairing that wasn't actually, durably allocated. `api.WorkloadVerifierFromSignedToken` combines both and is wired into `cmd/control-plane` (`--workload-secret`/`COSMIC_CLASH_WORKLOAD_SECRET`; a startup warning fires and the route stays 503 if it's left unset) and `cmd/testkit-api` (fixed test secret). **The delivery channel is now wired too**: `agones.Client` gains `WorkloadSecret`/`WorkloadTokenTTL` -- when set, `Allocate` mints a token for the allocation and requests it as a third `cosmic-clash.io/workload-token` annotation alongside match-id/allocation-id, wired from `cmd/allocator`'s own `--workload-secret`/`COSMIC_CLASH_WORKLOAD_SECRET` (must match the control plane's); `supervisor.Supervisor.workloadToken()` resolves the bearer credential with an explicit `--workload-token-path` (kept for a possible future Kubernetes-JWT path) always winning, otherwise falling back to that same annotation -- the same fallback pattern `matchID()` already used for `cosmic-clash.io/match-id`. `WorkloadTokenPath` is accordingly no longer required at construction time | `server/domain/workload.go`, `server/workload/jwt.go`, `server/api/service.go` and adversarial tests reject every binding mutation, missing/unverified signature, `none`/malformed JWT, ambiguous audience, server/match mismatch and time boundary; `server/testkit/pipeline_test.go` carries allocation identity through the offline result path; `cmd/control-plane` now wires `ResultSubmitter: store.PostgresResults{DB: db}` (a ready-made adapter that had been referenced from nowhere at all, not even a test); `server/workload/signed_token_test.go` covers round-trip, tampered payload, wrong secret, malformed input and the exact expiry boundary; `server/api/workload_verifier_integration_test.go` (opt-in, real PostgreSQL) covers acceptance against a real allocation row, rejection of an unrecorded allocation, that two distinct real allocations each resolve to their own and only their own match/server pairing, and the previously-503 `Service.WorkloadVerify` field itself now succeeding -- all verified clean with `-race` across multiple runs; `cmd/control-plane/main_test.go`'s `TestServerRoutesRequireWorkloadVerifyToBeWired` now documents and pins the misconfigured-secret case specifically, not the "always unwired" case; `server/agones/allocation_test.go`'s `TestAllocateRequestsAWorkloadTokenAnnotationWhenConfigured` and `server/supervisor/supervisor_test.go`'s new annotation-fallback/fails-closed pair cover the delivery channel end to end (mint -> annotation -> supervisor read -> Authorization header) short of a live cluster. **What's still missing**: this has never run against a real Agones cluster (only HTTP-level fakes), so the exact `object_meta` JSON casing Agones actually returns remains unverified from this sandbox (see `GameServer.ObjectMeta`'s existing caveat); live duplicate/conflict alerting also remains |
