Hongming Wang 855d423f6c review: split push steps, runbook for secret rotation, username clarity
Addresses PR #82 code review: 🟡×3 + 🔵×5.

- Fly registry login username: 'x' → 'molecule-ai' + explanatory comment.
- Build & push split into two steps (GHCR / Fly registry) so a single-
  registry outage can't fail the other. Second step uses 'if: always()'
  to ensure Fly mirror runs even if GHCR push flakes.
- docs/runbooks/saas-secrets.md: full secret map + rotation procedures
  for every SaaS credential, with danger-case callouts. Documents the
  coupled FLY_API_TOKEN (lives in GHA secret AND fly secrets — must be
  rotated in both).
- CLAUDE.md: new 'SaaS ops' section linking to the runbook.

# SaaS secret rotation — runbook
Where each secret lives, why, and the **full rotation procedure** so a partial
update doesn't silently break production.
## Secret map
| Secret | Location(s) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `FLY_API_TOKEN` | **(a)** `molecule-monorepo` GitHub Actions secret (push image to `registry.fly.io/molecule-tenant`) + **(b)** `fly secrets` on `molecule-cp` app (control plane creates + deletes tenant Fly Machines) | Any Fly Machines API call |
| `NEON_API_KEY` | `fly secrets` on `molecule-cp` | Create + delete tenant Neon branches |
| `DATABASE_URL` | `fly secrets` on `molecule-cp` | Control-plane Postgres connection (Neon `cool-sea-89357706`) |
| `TENANT_REDIS_URL` | `fly secrets` on `molecule-cp` | Injected into every tenant container as `REDIS_URL` |
| `SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` | `fly secrets` on `molecule-cp` | AES-256 key wrapping tenant DB/Redis URLs in `org_instances` (provisioner + tenant use this) |
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | Built-in GitHub Actions token | GHCR push; rotated automatically |
## Coupled secrets — MUST rotate together
`FLY_API_TOKEN` is the one secret duplicated across systems. Rotating **only
one** will cause **silent** breakage:
- Rotating **only (a) GHA** → image publish workflow fails, but no alert; control plane keeps provisioning from the stale `latest` tag.
- Rotating **only (b) Fly secrets** → control plane's Fly API calls start erroring (`401`), tenant provisioning fails, but image publishes keep succeeding so everything *looks* fine on the build side.
## Rotation procedure — FLY_API_TOKEN
1. Generate new token:
```
flyctl tokens create deploy --name molecule-cp-rotation-$(date +%Y%m%d)
```
2. Update **both** locations (order matters — Fly secrets first, then GHA):
```
# (b) Fly secrets — triggers zero-downtime redeploy
flyctl secrets set --app molecule-cp FLY_API_TOKEN='FlyV1 fm2_...'
# (a) GitHub Actions secret — next workflow run uses new token
echo 'FlyV1 fm2_...' | gh secret set FLY_API_TOKEN --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo
```
3. Verify:
```
# Control plane can reach Fly API:
curl https://molecule-cp.fly.dev/health
# Trigger image publish (dispatches workflow, pushes to both registries):
gh workflow run publish-platform-image.yml --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo
gh run list --repo Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo --workflow publish-platform-image --limit 1
```
4. Revoke the old token:
```
flyctl tokens list
flyctl tokens revoke <id-of-old-token>
```
## Rotation procedure — NEON_API_KEY
1. Create replacement key in Neon console → Account Settings → API Keys.
2. Update Fly secrets:
```
flyctl secrets set --app molecule-cp NEON_API_KEY='napi_...'
```
3. Trigger a test provision (dry run — create + delete):
```
curl -X POST https://molecule-cp.fly.dev/cp/orgs \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"slug":"keytest-'$(date +%s)'","name":"Rotation test"}'
# Wait 60s, inspect logs:
flyctl logs --app molecule-cp --no-tail | tail -30
# Clean up the test org via DELETE once live
```
4. Revoke old key in Neon console.
## Rotation procedure — SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY
**DANGEROUS**: rotating this key will invalidate every encrypted row in
`org_instances.database_url_encrypted` + `redis_url_encrypted`. Every tenant
becomes unreachable until re-provisioned.
Mitigation: we intentionally defer real KMS + key-rotation to Phase H. Until
then, **do not rotate this key unless compromised.** If compromise, procedure is:
1. Generate new key: `openssl rand -hex 32`
2. Set new key on `molecule-cp`.
3. For every row in `org_instances`: re-provision the tenant (creates fresh
Neon branch + Fly machine). The old encrypted URLs are un-decryptable but
irrelevant — we mint fresh ones.
4. Migration to rotate encrypted columns in-place (decrypt-with-old → encrypt-
with-new) is Phase H work and requires envelope encryption with KMS.
## Rotation procedure — DATABASE_URL (control plane)
The Neon `molecule-cp` project has a stable primary endpoint. Rotate only if:
- Neon forces a migration
- The connection-URI password is leaked
Procedure: regenerate URI via Neon API → `flyctl secrets set DATABASE_URL=...`.
Zero-downtime (Fly applies secret via rolling restart).
