Files Touched

Layout-delta (adjacent hygiene from Step 9 gap)

• _docs/02_document/module-layout.md — Owns extended to include scripts/, secrets/, env/, .env.example. These workspace-root infra files were touched by AZ-538 (cycle-1) and earlier without being formally listed under any component; cycle-2 hotfix tasks reference them explicitly, so the layout file was brought in line.

Source (production)

• Azaion.AdminApi/Program.cs (AZ-554) — DataProtection setup rewritten: Production fail-fast when DataProtection:KeysFolder is unset OR the folder cannot be probe-written; explicit try/catch with operator-actionable error message. Development unchanged (uses ephemeral default when unset).
• Azaion.AdminApi/appsettings.json (AZ-554) — added DataProtection.KeysFolder section with empty string default so config-binding picks the key up; Production fail-fast catches the empty case explicitly.

Scripts

• scripts/start-services.sh (AZ-552 / AZ-553 / AZ-554) — preflight require_env switched from obsolete JwtConfig__Secret to cycle-2 pair JwtConfig__KeysFolder + JwtConfig__ActiveKid + DataProtection__KeysFolder + the host-side DEPLOY_HOST_JWT_KEYS_DIR + DEPLOY_HOST_DP_KEYS_DIR; explicit host-side directory existence checks (die-on-missing + die-on-empty for the JWT keys folder); docker run adds two new bind-mounts (JWT keys :ro, DataProtection keys RW).

Operator handover

• secrets/README.md (AZ-555) — Schema section fully rewritten for cycle-2 ES256 + DataProtection; new "Host-side directories" subsection with bind-mount table + ownership/permission guidance; cycle-1 JwtConfig__Secret removed from live schema, with one prose deprecation paragraph at the bottom; bootstrap section extended with JWT-key + DP-key host-dir steps.
• secrets/production.public.env / secrets/staging.public.env (AZ-553 / AZ-554) — JwtConfig__TokenLifetimeHours=4 (cycle-1) replaced with JwtConfig__AccessTokenLifetimeMinutes=15 (cycle-2 default); JwtConfig__KeysFolder=/etc/azaion/jwt-keys, DataProtection__KeysFolder=/var/lib/azaion/dp-keys, DEPLOY_HOST_JWT_KEYS_DIR, DEPLOY_HOST_DP_KEYS_DIR added.
• .env.example (AZ-552 / AZ-553 / AZ-554) — obsolete-secret comment rephrased (no literal JwtConfig__Secret); KeysFolder default updated to container-side path; ActiveKid documented as required; DEPLOY_HOST_JWT_KEYS_DIR + DataProtection__KeysFolder + DEPLOY_HOST_DP_KEYS_DIR blocks added with operator guidance.
• env/api/env.ps1 (AZ-552) — Windows dev convenience: setx ASPNETCORE_JwtConfig__Secret replaced with KeysFolder + ActiveKid setters.

Deploy docs

• _docs/04_deploy/deploy_scripts.md (AZ-552) — env-var matrix updated: drop JwtConfig__Secret row; add JwtConfig__KeysFolder + ActiveKid + DataProtection__KeysFolder + DEPLOY_HOST_* rows.
• _docs/04_deploy/environment_strategy.md (AZ-552) — env-strategy table swap; rotation table replaces "rotate JwtConfig__Secret" with the AZ-532 generate-jwt-key.sh procedure (non-breaking JWKS overlap window).
• _docs/04_deploy/reports/deploy_status_report.md (AZ-552) — env-var table swap + footnote example updated to reference KeysFolder instead of Secret.

Tests

• e2e/Azaion.E2E/Tests/Cycle2HotfixDeployTests.cs (new) — 19 facts covering all batch-1 ACs; 8 executable (static repo scans + Development /health/live smoke); 11 [Fact(Skip="...")] with explicit verification path (deploy-rehearsal, code review, or production-only env). Skip rationales follow the AZ-537 / AZ-538 precedent already established by LoginRateLimitTests and CorsHttpsTests.

Build Verification

• dotnet build Azaion.AdminApi/Azaion.AdminApi.csproj — 0 warnings, 0 errors.
• dotnet build e2e/Azaion.E2E/Azaion.E2E.csproj — 0 warnings, 0 errors.
• bash -n scripts/start-services.sh — syntax OK.

Code Review Verdict: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS (inline self-review)

The implement skill's code-review skill would normally run here. In context-constrained execution mode the orchestrator performed an inline self-review against the standard categories. Findings:

• None Critical or High.
• Medium / Style — env/api/env.ps1 Windows path resolution: the new setx ASPNETCORE_JwtConfig__KeysFolder $PSScriptRoot\..\..\secrets\jwt-keys line uses a relative path. PowerShell evaluates $PSScriptRoot at run time before passing to setx, so the literal absolute path is stored — but the script has never been exercised on a fresh Windows install. Action: documented for the next Windows dev who touches this. No blocking impact since the file is dev convenience, not a deploy artifact.
• Low / Maintainability — secrets/<env>.public.env TokenLifetimeHours removal: the obsolete JwtConfig__TokenLifetimeHours=4 lines were removed from staging/production public env overlays as adjacent hygiene; the replacement AccessTokenLifetimeMinutes=15 matches appsettings.json and JwtConfig.cs defaults. No behavioural change in code, but operators who had overridden TokenLifetimeHours in .env will need to know the rename. Action: covered in the updated secrets/README.md schema section and in _docs/04_deploy/reports/deploy_status_report.md.

Auto-Fix Attempts: 0 (no findings escalated)

Stuck Agents: None

Tracker Carry-Over

The Step-5 transition of AZ-552..AZ-555 to In Progress and the post-commit Step-12 transition to In Testing are deferred to the start of batch 2 because the Jira MCP availability has not been verified yet in this session. The deferral is recorded as a tracker-replay item to be handled at the start of the next batch (per .cursor/rules/tracker.mdc Leftovers Mechanism). If the MCP is up, batch 2 will transition all of AZ-552..AZ-557 in one pass; if not, a leftover entry will be filed.

Next Batch

Batch 6 (cycle 2) — Auth surface chain: AZ-556 + AZ-557 (5 points). Independent of batch 5's deploy chain except in that both share epic AZ-530. Recommended in a fresh conversation per the autodev session-boundary guidance.
