SKILL: fleet-proven procedure — per-app SSO scripts, admin key minting, access restrictions, vault fallbacks

Absorbs the 2026-09-09 fleet-wide rollout learnings: per-app SSO entry
points and quirks (discourse /auth/oidc + CSRF + confirm, redmine
oauth_provider=1, gitea username normalization), Cloudron app
accessRestriction management, central admin-lever key minting for
gitea/redmine/discourse (GLPI deferred on #947), and the
setfield-verify-recreate seed-storage pattern.

### 4. SSO first-login into each system
The interactive login is scriptable with a cookie jar — no browser needed.
`scripts/oidc-login.sh <system> <login>` runs the whole flow and leaves a
session cookie jar at `/tmp/oidc-<login>-<system>.txt`. Entry points:
The interactive login is fully scriptable per app — use the per-app scripts;
each runs the whole flow (entry → Cloudron interaction → TOTP from the vault
seed → resume → consent → callback) with a cookie jar and verifies a live
session:
| System | SSO start point | After login |
```bash
scripts/gitea-sso-login.sh <username> [vault-item] # /user/oauth2/cloudron
scripts/redmine-sso-login.sh <username> [vault-item] # /oauth?oauth_provider=1
scripts/discourse-sso-login.sh <username> [vault-item] # /auth/oidc (+ CSRF + confirm form)

A failed session-verify can still mean the ACCOUNT was created (common) —
check via the admin API before retrying. App-level access control can deny
the whole flow with `access_denied: User has no access to this app`: the
Cloudron app's `accessRestriction` (per-user/group allow-list) must include
the identity. Set it with
`POST /api/v1/apps/<app-id>/configure/access_restriction` body
`{"accessRestriction":{"users":[uids…],"groups":[gids…]}}` — the `groups`
array is REQUIRED even when empty. Gitea (1c91ff45-…) and Discourse
(b506a0c1-…) both carry allow-lists.
Key gotcha (cost a debugging session — do not rediscover): the OIDC
interaction login is `POST /openid/interaction/<uid>/login` with JSON body
`{"username": "...", "password": "...", "totpToken": "..."}` — the field is
**`username`**, not `login`, and the response is `{"redirectTo": ...}` on
success.

### 5. Mint per-system API keys
- **Redmine**: My account → API key (visible to self); also returned by
`GET /users/current.json` with the session.
- **Gitea**: Settings → Applications → new token with write scopes; or
`POST /api/v1/users/<login>/tokens` using the session (requires basic auth
of the same user for token endpoints).
- **Discourse**: user API key flow; or admin-generated key if an admin lever
is ever provided (none currently is — do not use reachableceo keys).
- **GLPI**: My account → API token (personal token); pair with the app token
from `creds/glpi` (password field) for REST calls.
vptechops holds ADMIN in all four systems (2026-09-09), so keys are minted
centrally — no per-identity session needed:
Store each key in the vault item immediately (schema below).
- **Gitea** (admin basic auth; the token route REQUIRES basic auth — a token
works as the basic password):
`POST /api/v1/users/<login>/tokens -u "vptechops:$admin_token"` with
`{"name":"agent-<date>","scopes":["all"]}``.sha1`. Minting is scoped to
the authenticating token's scopes, so use the full-scope admin token
(`creds/vptechops-gitea` `admin_token`, generated via
`gitea admin user generate-access-token` in the container with
`--config /run/gitea/app.ini`).
- **Redmine**: api_key is not in `GET /users/:id.json` for others — dump via
rails runner in the app container (`User.where(status:1).each { |u| puts
"#{u.login}|#{u.api_key}" }`; needs `HOME=/tmp`, `SECRET_KEY_BASE` from
`/app/data/secrets.yml`, rbenv shims in PATH, `bundle exec rails runner`).
- **Discourse**: rails runner `ApiKey.create!(user_id:, description:,
created_by_id:)` per user — `.key` readable only at creation. Note:
Discourse usernames can differ from Cloudron usernames (legacy
`coo1coo`, prefix-stripped `vpengops`…) — resolve via
`/admin/users/list/active.json` first. Admin Api-Key minting uses the same
model; admin key for vptechops is in `creds/vptechops-discourse`
(`admin_api_key`).
- **GLPI**: DEFERRED on #947 — REST `user_token` auth 401s even for a
super-admin with api_token/personal_token set; do not burn time re-deriving
that failure.
Store each key in the vault item immediately (schema below), and always
verify the write (`sm get … --field …` readback) — `sm setfield` 400s
