### Gate tamper-evidence

The `supply-chain` check reads both its policy (`deny.toml`) and its own
definition (`security.yml`) from the PR head, so a PR could weaken the gate it
is being graded by — delete a `[bans]` entry, or drop `--all-features` while
keeping the job name green. Two properties defend against that:

- **Deletion fails closed.** `supply-chain` is a required status check with no
bypass actors; a PR that deletes the workflow leaves the context unreported
and the PR permanently unmergeable. The one deletion variant that would not
fail closed — shipping a replacement check under the same name — is why the
wire below also trips on any other changed workflow file mentioning
`supply-chain`, and why the required check is pinned to the GitHub Actions
app, so an API-posted commit status cannot impersonate it.
- **Modification trips a wire.** The job's final step diffs `deny.toml` and
`security.yml` against the PR's base and fails the required check on any
change, unless the PR body contains the exact, case-sensitive string
`[gate-change-approved]` (add it after human sign-off, *then* push a commit
— the marker is read from the push-time event, so a body edit alone does
not re-trigger). Legitimate policy updates therefore stay possible, but
only as a conscious, loudly-marked act.

What this does **not** defend against: a PR that edits the tamper-check step
itself out in the same commit; an author who self-serves the marker without
sign-off; and a marker hidden inside an HTML comment, which satisfies the
check but is invisible in the rendered body — when reviewing a gate-file
diff, check the raw PR body, not just the rendered view. All are deliberate
evasion, not the lazy path — each leaves an explicit trail in a reviewed
diff or the PR body source. Closing the first mechanically requires an
org-ruleset `workflows` rule pinning `security.yml` to an out-of-tree ref
(an org-scope decision, tracked on LAB-1151), which would still not protect
`deny.toml` — the wire above remains the only guard on the policy file
itself.

native-tls 0.2.18 Cargo.toml wasm32-unknown-unknown target dependencies openssl

💡 Result:

The native-tls crate (version 0.2.18) does not explicitly support the wasm32-unknown-unknown target [1]. By design, native-tls acts as a wrapper around platform-native TLS implementations [2][3]. Its Cargo.toml configuration uses conditional compilation to select the backend based on the target OS [4][5]: - It uses SChannel on Windows [4][5]. - It uses Secure Transport (security-framework) on Apple platforms [4][5]. - It defaults to OpenSSL on all other platforms (including Linux, etc.) [4][2][5]. Because the wasm32-unknown-unknown target is not Windows or Apple, the crate attempts to include OpenSSL as a dependency [4][5]. This typically causes build failures when targeting WebAssembly, as OpenSSL is not a native library available in the wasm32-unknown-unknown environment [1]. Consequently, native-tls is generally not suitable for use in wasm32-unknown-unknown projects unless specific workarounds or alternative TLS abstractions (like rustls, which is often used in WASM contexts) are employed [1][6].

Citations:

Remove the unconditional native-tls dependency.

native-tls selects OpenSSL for wasm32-unknown-unknown, which can break the documented WASM build. It also conflicts with this SDK’s rustls-only policy. Remove it from crates/cachekit/Cargo.toml, or target-gate it outside the WASM graph if a fixture requires it.

Restore the ban list before any merge.

deny = [] disables the bans on openssl-sys, native-tls, and toxiproxy_rust. This contradicts the rustls-only policy documented in README.md and allows the new native-tls dependency to pass the ban check. Keep this state only for the throwaway negative proof. Restore all three bans before merging.

Closes LAB-1151.

`[gate-change-approved]` — this PR modifies `security.yml` itself, so its own tamper check fires; this marker is the sanctioned path, and its presence here is the live positive test of the warning path. Sign-off: ray owns the merge decision on this PR, which is the sign-off.

## What

The required `supply-chain` check read both its policy (`deny.toml`) and its own definition (`security.yml`) from the PR head, so one commit could violate a ban and delete the ban — green rollup, merges. Deletion already fails closed (required context, `bypass_actors: []` on ruleset 17788230, proven by the frozen PRs after [#54](https://github.com/cachekit-io/cachekit-rs/pull/54)); this PR closes the modification half:

- **Gate tamper check** — final step of the `supply-chain` job. Diffs `deny.toml` + `security.yml` against `HEAD^1` (the base tip the merge commit was computed against — exact PR effect, no network fetch, no base-drift false positives; checkout gains `fetch-depth: 2`). Any change fails the required check unless the PR body contains the exact case-sensitive string documented in README §Gate tamper-evidence.
- **Shadow detection** — a PR could also ship a replacement check under the same `supply-chain` name in a different workflow file. Any *other* changed workflow file mentioning `supply-chain` trips the wire too. (The API-commit-status variant of the same shadow is closed in the ruleset: the `supply-chain` context is now pinned to `integration_id` 15368, the GitHub Actions app.)
- **Injection-safe marker matching** — the PR body enters the step via `env:` only and is matched by `grep -qF` as data; `set -o pipefail` makes a failing `git diff` fail the step rather than silently disarm it.

## What this deliberately does not defend against

Documented in README §Gate tamper-evidence: a PR that edits the tamper step itself out in the same commit, a self-served marker, and a marker hidden in an HTML comment. All deliberate evasion, not the lazy path this defends against. Mechanical closure of the first needs an org-ruleset `workflows` rule (verified available on this plan) — escalated on LAB-1151 for ray's decision, deliberately not self-served.

## Verification

- Step logic verified locally against synthetic merge commits (plumbing-built, same shape as `refs/pull/N/merge`): innocent PR passes, gate-file edit trips, shadow workflow trips, unrelated workflow deletion does not trip; marker matching is exact, case-sensitive, empty-body-safe.
- Expert panel (bug-hunter, security, craftsman, catchphrase) reviewed at high stakes; all surviving findings applied (pipefail fail-open, base-drift false positive, name-shadowing CRIT, marker-in-error-text copy-paste self-approval, case-insensitive `contains()`). Full adjudication on LAB-1151.
- Negative proofs #1 (policy edit) and #2 (job neutering) run as throwaway PRs against this branch's tripwire — run URLs on LAB-1151; closed unmerged, branches deleted.

## Docs

README §Gate tamper-evidence (new), `make security` wording, Makefile comment — all state what the gate does and does not defend against.
