Adam Moussa a9bccf33d0 feat(secrev): aws-posture checker (Tier-2, provisioning-gated)
Read-only Tier-2 idle/anomalous-spend + idle-resource posture checker for the
R720 agent-team (design D5 / §4 / §6.3 / §7 Phase 3). Mirrors the Tier-1 checker
conventions verbatim (flags --canary/--dry-run/--no-api/--targets, mode-600
report under $REPORT_ROOT/aws-posture/<date>/, ALARM-only, finding.schema.json
spirit, exit 0/2/3, shared substrate redact/post_slack_alarm).

Detectors (complement GuardDuty/SecurityHub/Config, do not replace):
- anomalous Cost Explorer deltas (ce get-anomalies, $-impact threshold)
- stopped EC2 still paying for attached EBS
- unattached EBS volumes
- unassociated Elastic IPs
- idle NAT gateways (≈0 bytes out)
- idle load balancers (0 healthy targets)
- idle RDS (0 connections over window)

Live AWS calls are PROVISIONING-GATED: they run ONLY when Roles Anywhere creds
are available (STS identity probe) AND not --no-api/--canary. With no creds or
--no-api/--canary the checker SKIPS live calls and notes them — NEVER alarms on
missing data (memory feedback_cloudwatch_alarms). Roles Anywhere/step-ca are not
stood up (IAM cross-review PASSED 2026-06-18; see security-review/iam/).

Offline canary: fixtures of mocked AWS responses (cost/describe-* JSON) under
fixtures/aws-posture/ + EXPECTED_FINDING_COUNT=7, asserted fully offline (no aws,
no network). Identical detector code runs online and offline. shellcheck-clean
(only accepted SC1091), chmod +x.

security-review/iam/ — Phase-3 IAM artifacts (authored for cross-review, NOT applied)

These are the IAM / Roles Anywhere / step-ca artifacts for the R720 agent-team aws-posture checker (design docs/r720-agent-team-design.md D5 / §4 / §6.3 / §7 Phase 3).

Nothing here is applied to AWS. They are FILES for the mandatory GPT-4.1 IAM cross-review.

Cross-review status (2026-06-18): APPROVE, no BLOCKs. FIXes applied — aws:SourceAccount added to the trust policy; ec2:DescribeImages removed from the permission policy (see CROSS-REVIEW-PACKET.md header + aws-posture-readonly-policy.rationale.md). The review passing unblocked building ../checkers/aws-posture.sh (built in this Phase-3 change set). That checker stays PROVISIONING-GATED: it makes NO AWS call until step-ca + the Roles Anywhere trust anchor + this role are stood up. Provisioning happens only after the review is recorded (design §7, B3) — and a VM snapshot is taken first per feedback_ec2_replacement_snapshot.

Decision (D5): the box stays read-only and authenticates to AWS via Roles Anywhere short-lived leaf certs issued by a new internal step-ca — no long-lived AWS key on the box.

File Purpose
CROSS-REVIEW-PACKET.md Start here. End-to-end trust model, least-privilege rationale, blast radius, exercised rollback, and the specific items for the reviewer.
aws-posture-readonly-policy.json Least-privilege read-only permission policy (valid, applyable IAM JSON).
aws-posture-readonly-policy.rationale.md Statement-by-statement rationale (IAM JSON can't carry comments).
aws-posture-trust-policy.json Role trust policy — pins Roles Anywhere + the leaf subject/issuer CN + trust-anchor ARN.
roles-anywhere-config.json Trust-anchor (pins step-ca root) + profile (1h session) config.
step-ca-config-sketch.md Internal CA config + systemd-timer auto-renewal of the short-lived leaf.

Per global instructions this IAM change also requires the GPT-4.1 cross-family review via orchestrator/run.py; this directory is that review's input.
