testagent-transform

Phase-1 end-to-end demonstrator of the ProofedMesh trust chain's Transform step (DEV-610, parent DEV-606). It is a one-shot CLI, not an HTTP service: given an approval attestation and a handover_payload, it produces a signed transform attestation, logs it to the transparency-log, and hands the payload to the Phase-1 dummy-sink. The exit code is 0 on success.

Flow

1. Fetch approval. GET {TRANSFORM_TLOG_URL}/api/v1/log/entries/{approval_ref}. The TLog returns the stored DSSE envelope plus log_index.
2. Verify. The returned envelope is DSSE-verified against the pinned approval-signer keyring (APPROVAL_SIGNER_KEYS). On failure the agent stops before any signing call — nothing new is attested on top of an untrusted approval.
3. Build transform statement. in-toto v1 Statement with predicateType = https://basicstack.de/attestations/transform/v1, operation = expense.map_to_sink, materials[0].attestation_ref = approval_ref, and subject[0].digest.sha256 = sha256(canonical(handover_payload)). canonical here is byte-identical to the approval-service's canonical serialisation so a downstream verifier reproduces the same hash.
4. Sign. POST {TRANSFORM_SIGNING_URL}/api/v1/sign/dsse with BOTH identities set as headers:
   • Authorization: Bearer <pocket-id-access-token> (client_credentials grant against POCKET_ID_ISSUER)
   • X-Workload-Token: <projected-sa-token> (read from TRANSFORM_WORKLOAD_TOKEN_PATH, default /var/run/secrets/tokens/trust-api) The signing-service's structured policy evaluates BOTH identities against the agent registry and OPA; a Pocket-ID bearer alone is not enough. See services/signing-service/internal/httpapi/sign.go.
5. Log. POST {TRANSFORM_TLOG_URL}/api/v1/log/entries with the envelope + content_hash from step 4.
6. Handover. POST {TRANSFORM_SINK_URL}/api/v1/handover with the canonical handover_payload bytes. Headers set:
   • X-Payload-Schema: sink.dummy.v1
   • X-Attestation-Ref: <transform content_hash>

Non-scope

• No read-side attestations (Phase 2).
• No persistent store; the agent is stateless and idempotent given the same (approval_ref, handover_payload) input (the TLog deduplicates on content_hash).

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
TRANSFORM_TLOG_URL	(required)	Base URL of transparency-log.
TRANSFORM_SIGNING_URL	(required)	Base URL of signing-service.
TRANSFORM_SINK_URL	(required)	Base URL of dummy-sink.
TRANSFORM_WORKLOAD_TOKEN_PATH	/var/run/secrets/tokens/trust-api	Projected ServiceAccount token path.
POCKET_ID_ISSUER	(required)	Pocket-ID OIDC issuer URL.
POCKET_ID_CLIENT_ID	(required)	OIDC client id for this agent.
POCKET_ID_CLIENT_SECRET	(required)	OIDC client secret for this agent.
POCKET_ID_AUDIENCE	trust-api	OIDC token audience.
APPROVAL_SIGNER_KEYS	(required)	Comma-separated kid=base64(public-ed25519) entries.
TRANSFORM_ACTOR	agent-testagent-transform	Registry id written into the attestation.
TRANSFORM_OPERATION	expense.map_to_sink	Transform operation name (must match OPA policy).
TRANSFORM_SINK_TARGET	sink:dummy-sink	Logical sink identifier.
TRANSFORM_SIGNING_KEY_REF	trust-api/agent-testagent-transform-2026-q4	OpenBao Transit key ref for the transform signer.
TRANSFORM_INPUT_SCHEMA / _VERSION	expense.canonical / 1.2.0	Input schema name/version carried in the attestation.
TRANSFORM_OUTPUT_SCHEMA / _VERSION	sink.db.expense / 1.2.0	Output schema name/version carried in the attestation.
TRANSFORM_VERSION	0.1.0	Agent's own version string, carried in the attestation.
TRANSFORM_SINK_PAYLOAD_SCHEMA	sink.dummy.v1	Value sent on the sink's X-Payload-Schema header.

CLI

testagent-transform \
  -workflow     WF-0042 \
  -approval-ref sha256:... \
  -handover     ./handover.json

handover.json must be a JSON object; the agent canonicalises it before hashing + sending to the sink.

Tests

cd services/testagent-transform
go vet ./...
go test ./...

The end-to-end transform tests spin up four httptest servers — approval read, signing-service, transparency-log, dummy-sink — and run the full pipeline against them:

• Happy path. All four backends respond; the subject digest the agent signs equals the sha256 of the canonical bytes POSTed to the sink; the TLog's recorded content_hash equals the agent's returned TransformRef.
• Invalid approval signature. The approval mock returns a DSSE envelope whose Ed25519 signature does not verify against the pinned public key. The agent fails with ErrInvalidApproval and never calls the signing-service, TLog, or sink.
• Signing denied. The signing-service answers 403 signing_denied. The agent surfaces signer.ErrSigningDenied and never calls the TLog or sink.
• Missing Pocket-ID token. The TokenSource returns "". The signer client rejects before any network traffic.
