Closes #122

Summary

Remove the dead SendGrid dependency. Account is out of credits (451 Maximum credits exceeded) and was never used in production.
All email delivery goes through Gmail OAuth (westsidebasketball@gmail.com).
Deleted orphaned API key from ~/secrets/sendgrid/ (local filesystem) and added audit trail to secrets registry.

Changes

salt/pillar/secrets_registry.sls — Added removed section with sendgrid_api_key audit entry documenting the removal date, reason, and issue reference
~/secrets/sendgrid/api_key — Deleted from local filesystem (not tracked in this repo)

Discovered Scope

~/secrets/README.md still references SendGrid — separate private repo, not this PR's concern.
Keycloak SMTP admin console config needs clearing — managed via UI, not IaC. Issue #142 will bring Keycloak realm config into Terraform.

Terraform Changes

N/A — no Terraform files changed. Only Salt pillar metadata updated.

tofu fmt passed (only gitignored secrets.auto.tfvars flagged)
tofu validate passed

README Impact

README roadmap updated (or N/A) — N/A, no roadmap impact

Test Plan

grep -ri sendgrid ~/pal-e-platform/ returns zero matches in tracked files
grep -ri sendgrid ~/pal-e-services/ returns zero matches
tofu validate passes
No service depends on SendGrid — basketball-api uses Gmail OAuth exclusively
~/secrets/sendgrid/ directory deleted

Review-fix loop passed (clean review, zero issues)

SendGrid account is out of credits (451 Maximum credits exceeded) and
was never used in production. All email delivery goes through Gmail
OAuth (westsidebasketball@gmail.com). This removes the orphaned API
key from ~/secrets/sendgrid/ and adds an audit trail entry to the
secrets registry.

Closes #122

Review: LGTM

Files reviewed: salt/pillar/secrets_registry.sls (11 additions)

Findings: Zero issues.

YAML structure valid -- removed section at correct indentation level under secrets_registry:
Audit trail entry has all required fields (description, date, by, reason)
No unrelated changes
PR body documents discovered scope (secrets README, Keycloak SMTP console config)
tofu validate passes, no Terraform files changed

Clean review. Ready for user approval.

PR #146 Review

DOMAIN REVIEW

Tech stack: Salt pillar (YAML metadata). No Terraform, no application code, no container changes.

Scope verification: The diff adds 11 lines to salt/pillar/secrets_registry.sls -- a new removed section under secrets_registry with a sendgrid_api_key audit entry. No lines were deleted. No other files were changed.

Completeness check: I searched the entire repo for remaining SendGrid references:

salt/pillar/secrets/ -- zero matches
terraform/ -- zero matches
All *.tf files -- zero matches
The only sendgrid matches are in the newly added removed audit trail block itself

This confirms SendGrid was never wired into Terraform or Salt secrets pillars in this repo -- the dependency was purely a local filesystem secret (~/secrets/sendgrid/api_key) and external account. The cleanup is complete for this repo's scope.

Salt pillar structure: The removed section is placed at the top level of secrets_registry, peer to platform, services, forgejo, sops, and gpg. This is a sensible location for audit trail metadata. The YAML is syntactically valid.

Audit trail quality: The entry includes description, removed_date, removed_by, and reason -- all the fields needed for future traceability. The removed_by field correctly references issue #122.

BLOCKERS

None.

No new functionality requiring tests (metadata-only change)
No user input to validate
No secrets or credentials committed (the file is explicitly a metadata registry with no actual secret values)
No auth/security path duplication

NITS

Discovered scope tracking: The PR body mentions two discovered scope items: (a) ~/secrets/README.md still references SendGrid, and (b) Keycloak SMTP admin console config needs clearing (deferred to #142). Neither has a dedicated Forgejo issue for the README cleanup. Per feedback_discovered_scope_always_tracked.md, discovered scope always becomes a Forgejo issue + board item. The README cleanup should get its own issue, even if it lives in a private repo.
PR body "Related" section: The Related section references Forgejo issue: #122 but does not reference the plan slug plan-pal-e-platform. This is a minor SOP gap.

SOP COMPLIANCE

Branch named after issue: 122-remove-sendgrid-dependency-gmail-oauth-c starts with 122
PR body has: Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Related
Related section references plan slug -- missing plan-pal-e-platform
No secrets committed -- confirmed via regex scan
No unnecessary file changes -- single file, 11 additions, 0 deletions
Commit messages are descriptive (not visible in diff but PR title is clear)
Discovered scope documented in PR body
tofu fmt and tofu validate confirmed passing (N/A for Salt-only change, but PR body confirms)

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS

DORA impact: Zero deployment frequency risk. This is a metadata-only change with no infrastructure or application impact. No state changes, no Helm releases, no container restarts.
Change failure risk: Extremely low. The only change is appending an audit trail to a Salt pillar metadata file. No Salt states consume the removed section, so even a YAML error here would have no runtime effect.
Documentation: The audit trail pattern established here (removed section with date, reason, issue reference) is a good precedent for future secret deprecations across the platform.

VERDICT: APPROVED
