Mutual Attestation and Ephemeral Key Derivation

1. Scope

Sprint 35 extends runner trust with:

• TPM identity evidence contract
• per-execution key derivation
• runner-control-plane mutual attestation
• multi-tenant isolation stress validation

2. Core Module

• src/pkg/runner/attestation.py

Primary classes:

• TPMIdentityProvider
• EphemeralKeyDeriver
• MutualAttestationService
• MultiTenantIsolationStressValidator

3. Execution Path Integration

Firecracker backend (src/pkg/runner/universal.py) now emits:

• execution_metadata.tpm_identity
• execution_metadata.ephemeral_key
• execution_metadata.mutual_attestation
• existing runtime attestation report

Mutual attestation failures are terminal and block execution.

4. Tenant Isolation Validation

Stress validator rejects session binding reuse across tenants by detecting identical session_binding_hash values mapped to different tenant identifiers.

5. Validation Commands

PYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/pytest -q \
  tests/unit/test_runner_attestation.py \
  tests/unit/test_universal_edge_runner.py \
  tests/qa/test_sprint35_mutual_attestation_qa.py
