+
+- Application repositories are build inputs only; do not add or update active
+  `.tekton/` or `.maidn/` delivery resources in them.
+- The cluster repository owns Pipelines, Tasks, triggers, and runtime secret

+- `cicd-tool repo init` is a legacy GitHub workflow and is not used for new Forgejo/GitOps platform onboarding.
 - `cicd-tool bootstrap` runs a shorter Forgejo-first wizard, asks for a Forgejo PAT, asks where local repos should be cloned, discovers Proxmox nodes/storage/networks, retries without losing entered answers when discovery fails, shows the latest Talos version, derives the standardized Talos factory URL, schematic, and required extensions automatically from the chosen version, writes `terraform.tfvars`, stages Talos images on Proxmox, and can execute Terraform, Talos bootstrap, and Flux bootstrap
 - `cicd-tool bootstrap --config maidn-bootstrap.yaml` skips the wizard and uses the saved config
-- `maidn bootstrap init --config <private-config> --organization <new-org> --create-organization --enable-delivery` locks an isolated workspace, initializes the Forgejo repositories, then runs the non-destructive bootstrap reconcile lifecycle; use `--mode=rebuild --yes` for an authorized rebuild. Delivery scaffolding requires `--enable-delivery`.
-- `maidn app onboard --config <private-config> --from <app-checkout>` validates a clean configured checkout and adds its `.tekton` delivery contract.
+- `cicd-tool bootstrap init --config <private-config> --organization <new-org> --create-organization` locks an isolated workspace, initializes Forgejo repositories, then runs the non-destructive bootstrap reconcile lifecycle. Use `--mode=rebuild --yes` only for an authorized rebuild.
+- `cicd-tool app onboard --config <private-config> --from <app-checkout>` is being migrated to central delivery ownership. Do not use the source-owned implementation for new applications; see `docs/architecture/delivery-ownership.md`.

+# Delivery Ownership
+
+## Status
+
+This is the approved target architecture. Central onboarding is available for
+new applications; existing source-owned registrations remain migration work.
+
+## Trust Boundary
+
+Application repositories are build inputs, not GitOps inputs. A developer can
+change application code on `main`, but cannot change an active Pipeline, Task,
+runtime secret reference, Helm chart, environment value, or promotion policy.
+
+| Concern | Owner | Location |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Application code, tests, Dockerfile | Developers | `Maidn/<app>` `main` |
+| Approved charts and environment values | Platform | `Maidn/<app>` `maidn/platform-<app>` |
+| Pipeline, Tasks, triggers, runtime access | Platform | Cluster repository |
+| Image tags, preview ownership, promotion PRs | Platform | Deployment manifests repository |
+| Secret values and policies | Platform | Private config, SOPS operational state, OpenBao |
+
+The protected platform branch may be readable by developers, but only platform
+operators and approved automation may push or merge into it. Flux must track
+only that branch for chart content. Flux must never track an application `main`
+branch or `maidn/delivery-*` branch.
+
+Onboarding requires an existing `maidn/platform-<app>` branch and verifies its
+no-direct-push protection before it opens the central registration PR. It never
+seeds a platform branch from developer-controlled `main`.
+
+## Resource Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  App[Application main branch\ncode only]
+  Platform[Protected platform branch\nchart and values]
+  Cluster[Cluster repository\nPipeline, Tasks, secret access]
+  Manifests[Manifests repository\nimage tags and promotion]
+  Flux[Flux]
+  Workload[Preview, staging, production]
+
+  App -->|exact source SHA| Cluster
+  Cluster --> Manifests
+  Platform --> Flux
+  Manifests --> Flux
+  Flux --> Workload
+```
+
+The central Pipeline clones the application repository at the event SHA only to
+build an image. It obtains chart content from the protected platform branch and
+writes only image-tag and promotion state to the manifests repository.
+
+## Prohibited Application Content
+
+Application repositories must not contain active delivery control-plane
+resources:
+
+- `.tekton/` Pipeline or Task resources
+- `.maidn/` Flux, RBAC, SecretStore, or ExternalSecret resources
+- Flux Kustomizations or GitRepositories
+- Kubernetes Secret values, SOPS identities, OpenBao tokens, or kubeconfigs
+
+An application `main` branch may retain a chart as a developer proposal, but it
+has no delivery effect. A platform operator explicitly reviews and copies an
+approved chart and environment values to `maidn/platform-<app>`.
+
+## Approval Sequence
+
+1. A platform operator creates or updates the protected platform branch through
+   a reviewed platform PR.
+2. A platform operator reviews and merges the central cluster registration that
+   renders the Pipeline, Tasks, protected chart source, and runtime references.
+3. Flux applies only the central cluster resources and protected chart branch.
+4. Developers use Forgejo pull requests and pushes to trigger builds; they do
+   not edit deployment control-plane resources.
+5. Production promotion remains a reviewed PR in the manifests repository.
+
+## Migration Rules
+
+Existing source-owned registrations are migrated one application at a time.
+First establish the protected platform package, then merge the central cluster
+registration, then verify Flux and delivery. Remove the legacy source
+GitRepository, Kustomizations, and delivery branch only after the replacement
+is Ready.
+
+The canonical fixtures are migration pilots. `Maidn/maidn-e2e-secret` remains
+disabled until its central replacement is reviewed. Angular and web legacy
+registrations must follow the same migration path.
+
+## Command Status
+
+`cicd-tool bootstrap`, `cicd-tool app`, and `cicd-tool e2e` are the current
+Forgejo and GitOps command families. `cicd-tool repo init` and `cicd-tool vault
+create-*` are legacy GitHub/direct-apply paths and are not part of new platform
+onboarding. They will be deprecated or removed after the central delivery
+migration.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+The architecture is accepted only after a canonical fixture proves all of the
+following with a real Forgejo event:
+
+- pull request preview build, route, and delivery feedback
+- main-to-staging deployment at an immutable image SHA
+- reviewed production promotion PR
+- runtime secret and shared database projection without preview credentials
+- closed-preview cleanup and orphan-cleaner recovery

-## Platform Initialization And App Onboarding
+## Standard Delivery Workflow
 
-Initialize the shared delivery platform before onboarding any application. This
+Open and merge reviewed platform-source PRs before reconciling. When a merged
+template source must replace an existing revision lock, run the refresh by
+itself. It creates migration PRs; review and merge them, then rerun normal
+reconciliation:
+
+```powershell
+go run . bootstrap --config <private-bootstrap-config> --mode=reconcile --refresh-template-revisions
+go run . bootstrap --config <private-bootstrap-config> --mode=reconcile
+```
+
+Initialize the shared delivery platform before onboarding an application. This
 creates the Gateway, Tekton, and Tekton Triggers platform resources using
-`tekton.<cluster-domain>` and the configured Forgejo owner; it does not render
-an application Pipeline or register an application webhook:
+`tekton.<cluster-domain>` and the configured Forgejo owner:
 
 ```powershell
-bootstrap init --config <private-bootstrap-config> --organization <owner> --create-organization
+go run . bootstrap init --config <private-bootstrap-config> --organization <owner> --create-organization
 ```
 
-Import a clean checkout into the configured owner with a separate command. The
-checkout may originate in another Forgejo organization, but `delivery.appRepoUrl`
-must target `<owner>/<app>.git` and its current branch must be
-`delivery.appRepoRef`:
+The source-owned onboarding implementation is retired. Central onboarding
+creates a reviewed cluster registration only; it never writes `.tekton` or
+`.maidn` resources to an application repository. Before merging that
+registration, a platform operator must create the corresponding
+`maidn/platform-<app>` package through a reviewed platform PR; onboarding
+verifies its existence and enforces its protection. See [Delivery
+Ownership](architecture/delivery-ownership.md) for the approved architecture
+and migration rules.
+
+The onboarding command uses a clean checkout on `delivery.appRepoRef`.
+The app repository URL must be the canonical source owner, such as
+`Maidn/<app>.git`; `test-org-2` is execution state only. Per-app static build
+values remain command-line overrides rather than private defaults:
 
 ```powershell
-app onboard --config <private-bootstrap-config> --from <clean-checkout>
+go run . app onboard --config <private-bootstrap-config> --from <clean-checkout> `
+  --app-name <app> --app-repo-url https://<forgejo>/Maidn/<app>.git `
+  --image-repository <registry>/<owner>/<app> --build-strategy static `
+  --build-output-directory <output-directory> --build-configuration <configuration>
 ```
 
-Onboarding copies the current branch to the target repository, replaces only
-the two Maidn-generated `.tekton` files, protects the production branch, and
-auto-merges the app delivery and cluster registration PRs. The registration is
-stored in `base/tekton/apps/<app>.yaml` in the configured cluster repository;
-the generic EventListener dispatches by the Forgejo repository name.
+For a runtime build, set `--build-strategy runtime`; static-only output options
+remain harmless. Central onboarding creates the reviewed cluster-registration
+change after the platform package exists. The cluster repository owns
+`base/tekton/apps/<app>.yaml`; the application repository remains a build input
+only. The generic EventListener dispatches by Forgejo repository name.
+
+Existing source-owned registrations are migrated in separate reviewed cluster
+repository PRs. Never overwrite an unmanaged registration.
+
+After Flux reports the app Kustomization Ready, use Forgejo's hook test endpoint
+against a non-`main` ref and inspect the resulting PipelineRun. The command and
+read-only checks are in [Webhook Smoke Test](#webhook-smoke-test).
+
+### Shared Services And Add-ons
+
+Environment databases are platform-owned shared services. Staging workloads use
+the CNPG-generated `staging-postgres-app` Secret and production workloads use
+`production-postgres-app`; applications must not declare their own CNPG Cluster
+by default. Shared credentials are appropriate only for the shared environment
+database. Use a dedicated service only when isolation, lifecycle, or storage
+requirements demand it.
+
+The cluster repository owns reviewed dedicated resources and runtime secret
+access. Application repositories must not carry active `.maidn` resources.
+Runtime references never contain credential values. Preview namespaces do not
+receive staging or production runtime credentials; preview-safe configuration is
+defined in the protected platform chart branch.
+
+Declare runtime secret access in the private configuration and run normal
+bootstrap reconciliation to create its policy and role. Set values only with
+`app secret set` using stdin, `--file`, or `--generate`; provision the scoped
+E2E identity with `bootstrap --provision-app-secret-identities --e2e-app <app>`
+only when a probe needs it. See [secret-grants.md](secret-grants.md).
