security(discovery): enforce Zone isolation and retire unsafe legacy writers

Bind Agent observations, review, enrichment and telemetry to current Zone
and inventory authority. Preserve immutable MAC ownership and historical
snapshots with stale-result rejection and transactional security audits.

Retire unbound direct/range/scheduled discovery and one/bulk legacy summary
writes in both modes. Require reconciled exact inventory identity or
explicit Zone-scoped IP selection for CSV metadata imports.

Independent Blocker #1 application-security re-audit: PASS on tree
cf863aadc9. Evidence: 141 focused PostgreSQL/HTTP
tests passed; Chromium and PowerShell checks passed. Two documented baseline
source assertions remain unchanged. Production deployment is not approved.

+Blocker #1 discovery isolation: candidate review and compatibility contract
+=======================================================================
+Review candidate only. Blocker #1 is NOT declared PASS. No production cutover is
+authorized. Base: e898f283ab0fc21bac77b63db1c4a9ad35e21562 (Stage A / draft PR #6).
+No schema migration, new constraints, backfill, or runtime DDL is introduced.
+
+Authority and observations
+-------------------------
+All machine discovery/telemetry routes retain per-Agent HTTP authentication.
+Authority comes from the persisted Agent -> Site/Zone/network assignment, never
+client Site, room, Zone, target-Agent names, or a body-supplied Agent identity.
+Conflicting body Agent IDs are rejected. Disabled/unassigned/revoked routing fails
+closed. Check-in cannot establish or change an Agent's initial assignment: use
+existing authenticated enrollment or the separately reviewed legacy transition.
+Unassigned inventory is not implicitly claimed by check-in or snapshots.
+
+Discovery reports are bounded (128 items, 1 MiB body; 1,024 observations/minute per
+Agent). IP literals must be in the current Zone networks. MACs must be canonical
+ASCII unicast addresses. Explicit IDs, IP aliases, MAC aliases and supplied serial
+must agree with current inventory and immutable historical MAC ownership. Global
+historical MAC/serial collision checks reveal no foreign inventory IDs. Duplicate
+current IPs within a Zone are conflicts; distinct Zones may use the same IP.
+
+Each observation has a stable server ID and version. Raw reports and original
+provenance are retained, with an atomic discovery.observed audit recording the
+current authority, raw hash, inventory fingerprint and observation version. Exact
+retries deduplicate; discovery clients must send discovered_at for a fresh scan
+(the supplied Windows scanner does). Approval requires a current, proven,
+non-superseded observation less than 15 minutes old. Legacy/null/mislinked rows
+without this evidence remain visible but cannot authorize approval or enrichment.
+There is no automatic evidence backfill, deletion, identity merge or ownership
+transfer. An authorized operator must investigate conflicts and obtain a fresh
+observation. Discovery does not implement an ownership-transfer workflow.
+
+Human policy remains global administration: agents.view for discovery display;
+agents.manage for stable-ID review/enrichment; miners.control for scan/poll
+requests. The UI displays authoritative Agent/Zone and escapes all untrusted text.
+IP-only approval is unsupported. Submit discovery_id, version and one of
+add_to_inventory / ignore / non_miner. All three revalidate current authority and
+identity under locks; only that observation changes. Adding new inventory also
+requires a valid MAC. Repeat the same accepted decision/version to receive its
+recorded response without another audit or insertion. Stale/different decisions
+conflict; refresh before retrying. Audit actor is the authenticated human.
+
+Read commands and enrichment
+----------------------------
+Enrichment is selected by discovery_id/version, routed to its actual observing
+Agent, and bound to the current authority and IP. No arbitrary-IP or hardcoded
+Plexus fallback exists. Scan/poll requests require an explicit registered Agent ID;
+optional UUID request_id provides explicit retry idempotency. New requests without
+request_id receive distinct IDs. Queue claim rejects legacy/unscoped/stale reads
+with atomic cancellation/audit and preserves unknown delivery outcome for any
+previous claim evidence. Existing Stage A physical rejection remains in force.
+
+Before enrichment miner I/O, the upgraded Windows child submits command_id,
+discovery_id and version to authenticated POST /api/agent/discovery-target. Only
+a current claimed enrichment command returns a canonical IP. Enrichment submission
+revalidates the same binding and appends a NEW child observation for human review;
+it never resets the parent's decision or reparents history. V1/V2/V3 share the
+same boundary. Replaying old V2 identity merge inputs cannot merge inventory.
+
+Known-miners returns a short-lived signed miner_version bound to Agent authority
+and the current miner ID/IP/MAC/updated_at fingerprint. Every miner/pool/API3
+snapshot or known-miner enrichment must carry this token and matching identifiers.
+All Windows polling clients propagate it and batch at 128. A concurrent update,
+revocation or reassignment may invalidate in-flight telemetry: discard the stale
+response, refetch known-miners and poll again. Do not fall back to IP matching.
+Descriptive enrichment does not change MAC/IP/serial/ownership. Raw diagnostics
+are retained in append-only audits, not empty status rows that hide measurements.
+API3 retains raw snapshots, safe descriptive metadata, actual summary/pool/board
+measurements and compatibility counters. Failed/metadata-only API3 responses do
+not replace the most recent measurements. Nested identity contradictions fail.
+
+Transactions and database roles
+------------------------------
+All discovery writers/read-command claims take bounded locks in a shared order:
+advisory transaction lock 743190031, SHARE on Agent/Zone/network tables, SHARE ROW
+EXCLUSIVE on miners, then row locks. These table locks prevent phantom inserts
+from legacy writers which do not use the advisory lock. Agent routing/check-in
+uses guarded updates. No miner network I/O occurs while these transactions run.
+Audit insertion, inventory mutation and the observation decision commit together;
+any error rolls back all changes. Audit-denial and real UPDATE-trigger failure,
+concurrent approvals, cross-Zone MAC races, Zone disable and claim-vs-review are
+covered with real PostgreSQL connections and registered HTTP authorization routes.
+Lock timeout is 5 seconds; statement timeout 15 seconds. Controlled contention
+returns conflict/retry. Security favors correctness over fleet throughput here.
+
+Required release review: validate privileges/lock behavior for the actual deployed
+DB role in a disposable replica and measure expected fleet load. Tests use an
+isolated database owner plus a limited role with audit INSERT denied. They do not
+certify the production role. No new uniqueness constraint is proposed, so do not
+remove the transaction/table locks without a separately reviewed replacement.
+
+Reproduction
+------------
+Use a disposable checkout of this candidate with an already available backend
+image containing backend/requirements.txt. Never mount production credentials or
+.env files. From the candidate root:
+
+ MINEROPS_REVIEW_BACKEND_IMAGE=<existing-image> scripts/test-discovery-security.sh
+
+The runner creates a unique internal Docker network, tmpfs PostgreSQL 16, no
+published ports, applies the unchanged existing Alembic chain and runs the two
+PostgreSQL discovery suites. A trap destroys only its own resources. Tests use
+simulated Agents and FastAPI's registered routes, without app startup/schedulers.
+
+PowerShell (isolated PowerShell 7 host/container with simulated/loopback I/O):
+ pwsh -NoProfile -File agents/windows/tests/Test-MinerOpsDiscovery.ps1
+ pwsh -NoProfile -File agents/windows/tests/Test-MinerOpsControl.ps1
+ pwsh -NoProfile -File agents/windows/tests/Test-MinerOpsDiagnosticTransport.ps1
+
+Browser (Python 3, Node, Playwright and its Chromium/runtime installed externally):
+ python3 backend/tests/browser/export_discovery_page.py . /tmp/discovery-page.html
+ node backend/tests/browser/discovery-security.cjs /tmp/discovery-page.html
+
+The browser test intercepts all requests, supplies harmless event-marker input,
+and verifies inert rendering and exact same-IP discovery_id/version selection.
+Its trailing baseline argument demonstrates the baseline stored-markup defect.
+
+Other regression suites (explicit disposable DB guards apply):
+ tests.test_stage_a_containment_postgres
+ tests.test_stage_a_delivery_evidence_postgres
+ tests.test_stage_a_schedule_cancellation_postgres
+ tests.test_agent_zones_postgres
+ tests.test_agent_credential_transition_postgres
+ tests.test_agent_enrollment_postgres
+
+Baseline source-test exceptions retained unchanged
+-------------------------------------------------
+backend/tests/test_agent_commands.py:
+ AgentEnrichmentIsolationSourceTests.test_legacy_config_remains_explicitly_legacy_only
+requires the old minerops_require_agent_secret source string / fixed Plexus config.
+The authenticated config route already changed before this candidate. Replace the
+obsolete source assertion with real legacy/authenticated route tests in separate
+work; do not weaken credential authentication to satisfy the string assertion.
+
+ AgentSourceContractTests.test_deployment_preserves_local_state_and_registers_established_tasks
+blanket-bans the quoted agent-config.json filename in installer source, although
+the existing credential-recovery installer legitimately preserves/recovers local
+configuration. Follow up with behavioral installation/state-preservation tests on
+Windows. Do not remove the recovery path to satisfy the blanket source assertion.
+
+Both failures reproduce on unchanged 2d89e80 and unchanged e898f28; both method
+bodies remain identical. They are not silent skips or weakened assertions here.
+The external-fixture legacy-retirement PostgreSQL test class also requires its
+own migration-case setup and is not certified by the discovery test runner.
+
+Outstanding gates
+-----------------
+Independent security review of this exact isolated candidate is required before
+any Blocker #1 PASS or commit approval. Native Windows PowerShell 5.1/SYSTEM and
+fleet-scale/production-role validation remain outstanding. Unsupported older
+Agent payloads fail closed and require coordinated upgrade; this is an intentional
+protocol compatibility change, not transparent mixed-version support.
+
+Stage A application containment remains a separate audited boundary. Physical
+execution is disabled; device identity binding and Blocker #3 Stages B-E remain
+outstanding. Preserve STAGE_A_OLD_AGENT_CUTOVER.txt: verified network fencing must
+precede stopping/draining/upgrading old Agents. Cached commands cannot be revoked
+by server cancellation alone. Offline/unreachable Agents stay blocked; restart,
+reconnection and rollback must not restore an unsafe executor. This candidate
+neither performs nor authorizes that cutover or any production deployment.
+
+Independent-audit remediation addendum (October 16, 2026)
+-------------------------------------------------------
+The original candidate (99f515924dfc85fe1e1e98361688f1060329c090) failed independent
+review for F1-F3 in retained legacy callers. This corrected candidate requires a
+new independent audit. It does not claim Blocker #1 PASS.
+
+Retired in Hub AND non-Hub modes, with HTTP 410 after existing authentication and
+permission checks:
+ POST /api/miners/discover-one
+ POST /api/scan-ranges/{scan_range_id}/discover-now
+ POST /api/scanner/run-known-now
+ POST /api/tools/legacy-summary-refresh-one
+ POST /api/tools/legacy-summary-refresh-missing
+All definitions/aliases of their identity matcher, discovery writer, scheduler
+adapters, summary writer and global-IP helper reject before transport/database
+access. Startup creates no local scanner thread; status reports retired/disabled.
+Ordinary miners.update therefore cannot use discovery to replace a control board
+or clear a MAC. The dedicated board workflow and immutable MAC ownership remain.
+
+Functional implication: legacy local discovery, automatic local refresh, and
+legacy one/bulk summary backfill are unavailable even outside Hub mode. Operators
+must use authenticated Agent observation/review and inventory-bound Agent polling.
+Legacy summary replies lack trustworthy identity; there is no retained unversioned
+write or in-flight read to revalidate. No denied request mutates inventory, audit,
+or telemetry. The new shared discovery architecture is preserved.
+
+CSV remains an explicit global administrative workflow protected by miners.update.
+Each row requires Miner ID, current MAC, serial, or IP plus Agent Zone ID. Zone may
+come from the query/UI input or a row column; conflicting selections are rejected.
+All supplied ID/MAC/serial/IP/Site/Zone evidence must agree with current inventory.
+A failed MAC/serial/ID never falls back to global IP. Missing inventory is reported
+unmatched; contradictory or ambiguous selection returns row-specific 409, malformed
+or insufficient identification 422. A failure rolls back the entire import.
+IP-only rows need a Zone even when only one global match currently exists. Exact
+MAC/ID/serial selection remains usable by global administrators across Sites.
+CSV updates only model/type/firmware, never ownership, IP, MAC or telemetry.
+Duplicate columns are rejected rather than silently using the last value.
+
+CSV acquires the existing discovery lock order, including the miners table lock,
+before resolving any row. It holds the locks through metadata changes and one
+atomic audit containing every changed inventory ID/namespace and old/new values.
+Lock contention is bounded by existing discovery timeouts; large fleet throughput
+and actual deployed-role privileges still require independent release validation.
+Preview uses identical identification checks and rolls back. Repeated imports do
+not create inventory or telemetry; each applied request retains its import audit.
+No migration or containment/control policy changes are part of this remediation.
+
+Regression entrypoint: scripts/test-discovery-security.sh now includes
+ tests.test_legacy_inventory_security_postgres
+with registered HTTP requests, actual PostgreSQL locks/concurrent ownership moves,
+actual audit INSERT denial rollback, retired helper/alias coverage, both modes,
+permission boundaries, ambiguous/conflicting CSV selection, legitimate imports,
+preview/replay, and retained historical snapshots. All devices are simulated or
+transport-patched; the runner uses an internal network and disposable database.
+Full execution evidence and integrity manifest are retained outside the candidate
+in the remediation evidence directory referenced by the final report.
