Have you confirmed this also, I am wondering what the x-hyperfleet-identity: comes back as for machine callers
Routes Sentinel and adapter traffic through the same gateway auth boundary as human callers, closing the side door where machine traffic bypassed Authorino entirely. TokenReview plus an explicit subject allowlist means an unlisted in-cluster ServiceAccount with the right audience is still denied. - Add a "hyperfleet-components" kubernetesTokenReview identity method to the gateway AuthConfig (audience hyperfleet-api), given explicit priority over human-jwt to avoid a same-priority race with JWT verification that could misclassify machine callers as human on GKE - Add a restrict-system-subjects authorization rule scoped to the Sentinel/adapter ServiceAccounts in the release's own namespace; component suffixes are configurable via auth.machineIdentity.allowedComponents and regex-escaped when building the pattern - Add authorino-rbac.yaml binding the Authorino instance's ServiceAccount to system:auth-delegator, required for it to call the TokenReview API; the ClusterRoleBinding name includes both the release fullname and namespace, since the release name alone is the same fixed "hyperfleet-gateway" literal across every environment/e2e namespace and the binding is cluster-scoped - Introduce a hyperfleet-gateway.authorinoName helper as the single source of truth for the Authorino CR name, used to derive its instance ServiceAccount and authorization Service address instead of duplicating the name in three places (closes a real drift bug found in authorino-rbac.yaml during review) - Wire EXT_AUTHZ_ENABLED to also turn on token auth for adapters/sentinels in base-adapter.yaml.gotmpl / base-sentinel.yaml.gotmpl, sourcing the shared TokenReview audience from one machineIdentityAudience helmfile value so the gateway and its machine callers can't drift out of sync - Add plain-text Envoy access logging and configurable Envoy/Authorino log levels (ENVOY_LOG_LEVEL / AUTHORINO_LOG_LEVEL); the access-log path uses PATH(NQ) instead of Envoy's default query-including formatter so tokens or other secrets passed as query parameters aren't persisted to logs - Add machine-identity assertions to validate-authorino, pinned to a fixed --namespace so the test doesn't depend on the ambient HELM_NAMESPACE, and scoped the audience assertion to the kubernetesTokenReview block itself so it can't pass on an unrelated "hyperfleet-api" string elsewhere in the chart - Update README/env.gcp/env.kind docs that were stale about machine auth Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The README section on identity variables (table starting line 277) does not explain that machine callers lack tenant identity claims and won't receive tenant headers. This could surprise operators deploying with EXT_AUTHZ_ENABLED=true. Suggest adding a note after the variable table:
Suggested change
| | `AUTHORINO_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Authorino's own log verbosity. | | |
| | `ENVOY_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Envoy's own log verbosity. | | |
| `OIDC_ISSUER_URL` (see above) doubles as the AuthConfig's `issuerUrl`. | |
| **Header injection by caller type:** | |
| - Human callers receive tenant identity headers (`x-tenant-org`, `x-tenant-tenancy-ocid`) from their OIDC claims | |
| - Machine callers (adapters/sentinels) have no identity claims and receive only `x-hyperfleet-system: true` and `x-hyperfleet-identity` (omitted if no email claim), but not tenant headers — the required claim check is bypassed for machine identity via the `restrict-system-subjects` authorization rule (see authconfig.yaml) |

can this pattern be too broad?
i did this:
pattern='^system:serviceaccount:default:.*-hyperfleet-(sentinel|adapter)$'
for sa in totally-fake-hyperfleet-adapter; do
identity="system:serviceaccount:default:$sa"
if [[ $identity =~ $pattern ]]; then
printf 'valid: %s\n' "$identity"
else
printf 'not valid: %s\n' "$identity"
fi
doneand received valid: system:serviceaccount:default:totally-fake-hyperfleet-adapter

Summary
HYPERFLEET-1480
Adapters and Sentinels reach the API through the gateway, so they authenticate through the same Authorino boundary as human callers instead of bypassing it as in-cluster-only traffic.
Before: Adapter/Sentinel traffic hit the gateway unauthenticated when
EXT_AUTHZ_ENABLED=true— only human OIDC callers were checked.After: Adapter/Sentinel ServiceAccount tokens are validated via
kubernetesTokenReviewagainst a subject allowlist scoped to the release's own namespace. An unlisted ServiceAccount with a valid audience is still denied — the audience alone isn't the credential.Verified live (
