#232: plugin allowlist with SHA-256 hash pinning
The install path records the SHA-256 of the delivered bundle ZIP
(plugins.bundle_hash; pre-#232 installs show it as unknown until
reinstalled). plugins.allowlist in instance_settings names permitted
ids with their pinned hashes: empty (default) = not enforced, existing
instances unchanged; non-empty = installs of unlisted or deviating
bundles are rejected (plugin_not_pinned / plugin_hash_mismatch, 403),
and an installed plugin outside the list or with a deviating hash does
not load — absent from pond mount lists, frame/assets 404. Every
rejection is audited (plugin.rejected, catalogue v1.5). A version bump
changes the hash and therefore requires an explicit re-pin — the
intended friction (ADR 0025). Admin UI shows observed vs pinned hash
per plugin with pin/re-pin/unpin. Scope stated honestly in
plugin-architecture.md: the pin answers "is this the reviewed bundle";
post-install disk tampering is platform integrity (ADR 0019), sandbox
containment stays the sandbox's job. Hardening guide row + catalog
advisory triage; residual risk R-03 resolved. e2e: empty-allowlist
compatibility, pinned load, unpinned and tampered installs rejected and
audited, pin drift blocks loading while the admin still sees the
mismatch, version bump needs re-pin. Full api suite 101 files / 561
green.

# Audit event catalogue
**Catalogue version 1.5 (2026-07-31; 1.5 adds `plugin.rejected`,
issue #232; 1.4 added `auth.proxy_rejected`, issue #215; 1.3 added `auth.identity_linked`, issue #214; 1.2 added
`read_trail.pruned`, issue #224; 1.1 added `page.classification_*`,
issue #205).**
This is the operator-facing contract for the audit trail: every event id
the application can emit, with its trigger, severity, actor/target
semantics, and fields. SIEM/syslog rules written against this document
survive application updates because of the compatibility promise below.
The code half of this catalogue is `apps/api/src/audit/audit-actions.ts`
(a typed union — an uncatalogued id cannot be emitted), and
`audit-catalogue.test.ts` fails CI whenever this document and that code
drift. Changing either alone is impossible.
## Compatibility promise
- **Ids are never repurposed.** The meaning of an id listed here is frozen.
- **Adding events** bumps the catalogue's minor version; existing rules
are unaffected.
- **Retiring an event** (it stops being emitted) keeps its row here,
marked retired, forever; removal of a row is a major version and is
called out in the release notes.
- Fields listed per event are stable; new optional fields may be added
(minor version), fields are never renamed or repurposed.
## Transport & field set
Audit events reach the operator on **two channels**, both fed by the same
`AuditService.record()` call:
1. **stdout log line** (pino JSON, the forwarding channel): the container
runtime captures stdout (Docker `json-file` with rotation); the
operator's collector (promtail/fluent-bit/vector/…) picks it up from
there and forwards to syslog/SIEM. **There is deliberately no
application-side syslog client** — transport, TLS and buffering are the
collector's job, one layer below the app.
2. **`audit_log` table** (the queryable trail with its own retention,
#196), shown in the Site-Admin panel.
Every audit stdout line carries this stable field set:
| Field | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `msg` | `audit: <event id>` — the selector; collectors match on the `audit: ` prefix and take the id from the remainder. |
| `severity` | The catalogue severity of the id (`info` \| `notice` \| `warning` \| `critical`) — the routing hint for rules. |
| `actor` | Acting user id, or `null` for anonymous/system events (each row below states which). |
| `targetType` / `targetId` | What the event is about (absent when the event has no target). |
| _event fields_ | The per-event fields from the tables below, flattened into the line's top level. |
| `level`, `time`, `context` | pino plumbing: always `30`/epoch-ms/`AuditService`. Severity routing uses `severity`, not `level`. |
The `audit_log` row stores the same data structurally: `action`,
`actor_id`, `target_type`, `target_id`, `details` (the per-event fields as
JSON), `at`. Secrets, tokens, request bodies, and page content never
appear in either channel (security.md §Logging).
## Events
Severity vocabulary: `critical` = page someone (integrity/security
failure), `warning` = feeds detection (suspicious or destructive),
`notice` = configuration/privilege change, `info` = normal lifecycle.

## Scope boundary
Content activity (who edited which page, file up/downloads that succeed,
exports, labels) intentionally stays out of this trail — it answers "who
changed access/configuration and did the platform detect tampering", not
"who edited what" (security.md §Logging). The read-access trail for
classified content is a separate, VS-NfD-specific mechanism (#222#225)
with its own catalogue entry when it lands.
