Oh, can you please add some notes to the E2E doc detailing the token permissions required to run the tests?

Thinking

Let me check what API operations the tests exercise to get an accurate list.

Agent
Find DO API operations used
{
  "subagent_type": "Explore",
  "prompt": "Look through the machine/subcommands/ directory and find all DigitalOcean API operations used (droplet create/destroy/list, DNS record create/delete/list, project assign, tag create, etc.). I need to know what API scopes/permissions are required. Report each distinct operation you find."
}
Perfect! Now I have all the information I need. Let me compile a comprehensive report of all the DigitalOcean API operations used in the machine tool.

## DigitalOcean API Operations Used in Machine Tool

Based on a thorough analysis of the `/home/david/projects/stirlingbridge/machine/machine/subcommands/` directory and related files, here are all the distinct DigitalOcean API operations used:

### Droplet Operations
1. **Droplet Create** - `droplet.create()` (create.py:103)
   - Creates new droplets with specified configuration
   - Sets tags, SSH keys, user data, region, size, image

2. **Droplet Destroy** - `droplet.destroy()` (destroy.py:50)
   - Destroys/deletes droplets

3. **Droplet Get** - `manager.get_droplet(id)` (list.py:29, destroy.py:29)
   - Retrieves a single droplet by ID

4. **Droplet List** - `manager.get_all_droplets()` (list.py:34, list.py:36, list_domain.py:58, list_domain.py:60)
   - Lists all droplets, optionally filtered by tag_name parameter

5. **Droplet Reload** - `droplet.load()` (create.py:123)
   - Reloads droplet state to get updated IP address

### Domain/DNS Operations
6. **Domain Record Create** - `domain.create_new_domain_record()` (create.py:139)
   - Creates DNS A records with tags
   - Parameters: type="A", ttl, name, data (IP), tag

7. **Domain Record Delete** - `domain.delete_domain_record(id=record_id)` (destroy.py:63)
   - Deletes DNS records by ID

8. **Domain Record Get** - `domain.get_records()` (list_domain.py:48, util.py:30)
   - Lists all DNS records for a domain

9. **Domain List** - `manager.get_all_domains()` (domains.py:12)
   - Lists all domains in the account

### SSH Key Operations
10. **SSH Key List** - `manager.get_all_sshkeys()` (ssh_keys.py:12, util.py:22, cloud_config.py:16)
    - Lists all SSH keys in the account

### Project Operations
11. **Project List** - `manager.get_all_projects()` (projects.py:12, util.py:14)
    - Lists all projects in the account

12. **Project Assign Resource** - `project.assign_resource([f"do:droplet:{droplet.id}"])` (create.py:115)
    - Assigns droplets to projects using the `do:droplet:` resource URN format

### Summary of Required API Scopes/Permissions

To run this tool, your DigitalOcean API token needs these permission scopes:

- **Droplets**: `read`, `create`, `delete` (for create, list, status, destroy operations)
- **SSH Keys**: `read` (for SSH key lookup and listing)
- **Domains**: `read`, `write` (for DNS record CRUD operations)
- **Projects**: `read`, `write` (for listing projects and assigning resources)
- **Tags**: `read` (used for filtering droplets and marking them)

All operations are performed through the `python-digitalocean` library (1.17.0) wrapping the DigitalOcean REST API v2.

     1→# End-to-End Tests
     2→
     3→These tests verify that `machine` can create and manage real VMs on DigitalOcean, including DNS record lifecycle. They are **not** run as part of the normal test suite due to cost and runtime.
     4→
     5→## Prerequisites
     6→
     7→You need a DigitalOcean account with:
     8→
     9→- An API token
    10→- An SSH key registered in the account
    11→- A DNS zone managed by DigitalOcean (e.g. `test.example.com`)
    12→
    13→## Environment Variables
    14→
    15→| Variable | Required | Description |
    16→|---|---|---|
    17→| `E2E_DO_TOKEN` | Yes | DigitalOcean API token |
    18→| `E2E_SSH_KEY` | Yes | Name of an SSH key in your DO account |
    19→| `E2E_DNS_ZONE` | Yes | DO-managed DNS zone for test records |
    20→| `E2E_PROJECT` | Yes | DO project to assign droplets to |
    21→| `E2E_REGION` | No | Region slug (default: `nyc1`) |
    22→| `E2E_IMAGE` | No | Image slug (default: `ubuntu-24-04-x64`) |
    23→| `E2E_SIZE` | No | Droplet size (default: `s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb`) |
    24→
    25→## Running
    26→
    27→```bash
    28→# Set credentials
    29→export E2E_DO_TOKEN="dop_v1_..."
    30→export E2E_SSH_KEY="my-ssh-key"
    31→export E2E_DNS_ZONE="test.example.com"
    32→export E2E_PROJECT="my-project"
    33→
    34→# Run e2e tests
    35→make test-e2e
    36→
    37→# Or directly
    38→uv run pytest tests/test_e2e.py -v -m e2e
    39→```
    40→
    41→The normal `make test` (and CI) will **skip** these tests automatically.
    42→
    43→## What's Tested
    44→
    45→- **Droplet lifecycle** — create, list, destroy, verify removal
    46→- **DNS lifecycle** — create with `--update-dns`, verify A record, destroy with `--delete-dns`, verify record removal
    47→- **Cloud-init initialization** — create with `--type`, verify type tag
    48→- **Custom tags** — create with `--tag`, verify tag filtering
    49→
    50→## Cleanup
    51→
    52→Each test cleans up after itself. A safety fixture also destroys any leftover droplets if a test fails mid-run. All test droplets use unique names prefixed with `e2etest-` so they are easy to identify.
    53→
    54→## Cost
    55→
    56→Tests use the smallest available droplet size (`s-1vcpu-512mb-10gb`) and destroy VMs immediately after verification, so cost is minimal.
    57→
✏️ Edit E2E.md

- An API token
- An SSH key registered in the account
- A DNS zone managed by DigitalOcean (e.g. `test.example.com`)
+
- An API token with the required permissions (see below)
- An SSH key registered in the account
- A DNS zone managed by DigitalOcean (e.g. `test.example.com`)

### API Token Permissions

The DigitalOcean API token must be a **custom token** with these scopes enabled:

| Scope | Access | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| `droplet` | read, create, delete | Creating, listing, and destroying test droplets |
| `ssh_key` | read | Looking up SSH keys by name |
| `domain` | read, create, delete | Creating and removing DNS A records |
| `project` | read, update | Listing projects and assigning droplets to them |
| `tag` | read, create | Tagging droplets by type and custom tags |

A full-access read/write token will also work, but a scoped token is recommended.
The file /home/david/projects/stirlingbridge/machine/tests/E2E.md has been updated successfully.

Done. Added a "API Token Permissions" section under Prerequisites listing the required scopes and what each is used for.
