docs: R-168 is CLOSED — the "CI is still owed" sentence was stale (R-229 part 2)

Corrected in all four instruction files across all four repos. Found while confirming this
session own push by run ID, which is precisely the check that catches it.

In felhom-agent/CLAUDE.md the sentence contradicted the same file release section, which
already said R-168 mails the failure -- a contradiction inside one instruction file, the exact
class the R-229 work exists to find.

REPORT.md deliberately NOT overwritten in the sibling repos: a one-line docs correction must not
destroy the record of their last real implementation.

+#                   Any manual entry-point run WARNS when the clone is unarmed.

 # Changelog
 
+## docs — the "CI is still owed" claim was stale; corrected (2026-08-06, R-229 part 2) — no version bump
+
+**One sentence, no code.** This file asserted that continuous integration was still owed
+(`felhom.eu` `OPEN-ITEMS.md` R-168). **R-168 was CLOSED on 2026-08-02** — a Gitea Actions runner
+re-runs each repo's gate entry point on every push and emails the operator on failure. Found while
+confirming this session's own push by run ID, which is the check that caught it.
+
+The same stale sentence was in four instruction files across all four repos and is corrected in all
+four. In `felhom-agent/CLAUDE.md` it **contradicted the same file's release section**, which already
+said R-168 mails the failure — a contradiction inside one instruction file, which is the exact class
+the R-229 work exists to find.
+
+
+### papra — the volume is mounted where the app actually writes (2026-08-03, R-156, last leg)
+
+**The third and last of the three apps that kept their data where backups never looked.** papra
+mounted `papra_data:/app/data` while the application writes to `/app/app-data`, so its database sat
+in the container's **writable layer**: lost on redeploy, and tarred nightly as an empty directory
+while the healthcheck stayed green.
+
+**Decided from the IMAGE, not the README.** `docker inspect ghcr.io/papra-hq/papra:26.6.1-rootless`
+gives `WORKDIR=/app` and all three data paths under `./app-data` — `DATABASE_URL=file:./app-data/db/db.sqlite`,
+`DOCUMENT_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOT=./app-data/documents`, `PAPRA_CONFIG_DIR=./app-data` — and
+**`/app/data` does not exist in the image at all**.
+
+**Why the mount moved rather than the app being reconfigured.** Pointing all three env vars at
+`/app/data` would have worked, but it enumerates data paths: a fourth one added upstream escapes to
+the writable layer again, silently, which is this defect re-armed. Mounting the app's own data ROOT
+captures every current and future path by construction.
+
+**Precondition checked, not inherited:** papra is deployed nowhere — `docker ps -a` (including
+stopped) on both demo guests, plus the hub fleet view showing two enrolled hosts and zero papra
+references. Both boxes were wiped and rebuilt on 3 August, so the 2 August evidence was re-measured.
+
+**Proven by the runtime gate, in both directions.** `check-volume-persistence.py papra` → **CLEAN**,
+with its self-test passing on the same run. Red-proof: reverting the mount to `/app/data` → **BROKEN**
+with the exact R-156 evidence (`DATA in the writable layer at /app/app-data/db`,
+`declared volume /app/data is EMPTY`). Full `catalog_gates.py papra`: all three gates OK.
+
+**Note for the next run of that gate:** it needs **root** (it reads `/var/lib/docker/volumes`, mode
+`drwx--x---`; as a normal user its own canary fails UNDETERMINED and it correctly refuses a verdict),
+and it should be scoped to the app touched — unscoped it deploys all 53 templates.
+
+## CI — the static catalog gate runs on every push (2026-08-02, R-168)
+
+**No version bump, no build, no deploy** — this adds a workflow file only. Stated explicitly so the
+omission reads as a decision rather than a miss.
+
+**`.gitea/workflows/gates.yml` (new).** Triggers on `push`, `runs-on: felhom-gates`, obtains the
+source with a shallow `git fetch` of the **exact pushed SHA** from the in-cluster Gitea Service, and
+runs this repo's entry point with `--fast` — nothing else. **No `uses:` step anywhere**: JavaScript
+actions need a node runtime the host-mode runner does not have, and probe P3 measured a plain
+`git fetch` as sufficient. No `|| true`; the entry point's exit code IS the job's result.
+
+**It REPORTS, it cannot REFUSE**, and the workflow header says so: this repo pushes straight to
+`main` with no pull request, so there is no merge for a status check to stand at. The refusing half
+is `.githooks/pre-push`, which is per-clone and `--no-verify`-able; this half notices when that was
+skipped. Making CI blocking needs branch protection plus a PR workflow → felhom.eu `OPEN-ITEMS.md`
+R-169, an operator decision.
+
+**A failed run emails the operator** via Resend and prints the provider's accepted id, because probe
+P5 measured that Gitea itself sends nothing at all on a failed run. Demonstrated end to end on a real
+red run (`RESEND-ACCEPTED id=…`), not assumed. Full detail:
+`felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-ci-runner-2026-08-02.md`.
+
+**`--fast` only, and that is the point.** `check-image-pins.py` runs; `check-image-resolvable.py`
+(network) and `check-volume-persistence.py` (Docker, minutes per app) do **not**. CI that pulls 53
+images on every push gets disabled, and the bypass becomes the habit. Measured in the first run:
+`image-pin gate OK — 53 templates, 0 unpinned images`, with both runtime gates announced as skipped
+and their own output absent from the log. They remain deliberate periodic runs.
+
+No sibling clone is needed here — unlike the controller and the agent, `catalog_gates --fast` does
+not invoke the shared reuse checker.
+
+## 2026-08-02 — `--fast` for the pre-push hook (no version: this repo carries none)
+
+**`scripts/catalog_gates.py --fast`** selects only gates that touch no network and no container
+runtime. Today that is gate 1, `check-image-pins.py`. `check-image-resolvable.py` (network) and
+`check-volume-persistence.py` (Docker, minutes per app) are **not** in it, and the skip is
+**announced**, with the reason and with what still owes a periodic run — a silently narrowed run
+reads as "covered everything" when it did not. Default behaviour with no flag is unchanged.
+
+**Why the runtime gates are never in a hook.** A push that pulls images and starts containers gets
+bypassed within a week, and the bypass becomes the habit. They stay deliberate periodic runs: the
+start of a catalog campaign, before a publish train that vouches the catalog, and whenever a
+template's `volumes:` block or image tag changes — on a scratch host, never a customer box.
+
+**`.githooks/pre-push` (new)** runs `catalog_gates.py --fast` and refuses the push. It is per-clone
+(`git config core.hooksPath .githooks`) and `git push --no-verify` bypasses it on purpose; both
+limits are written into the hook. This is R-161's convention half made automatic-ish; the
+unbypassable half is CI, now tracked as `felhom.eu` `OPEN-ITEMS.md` **R-168**.
+
+**`scripts/test_catalog_gates.py` (new, 5 tests)** pins `--fast`'s CONTENT, not just its exit code:
+the static gate's own stdout must appear (an inert runner prints the summary while calling nothing),
+the runtime gates' must not, the skip must be announced, and the no-flag path must still select all
+three. Red-proofed with an inert `run_gate`.
+
+## 2026-08-02 — one entry point for the catalog's gates (R-161 ruling)
+
+`scripts/catalog_gates.py` runs all three gates — image-pins, image-resolvable, volume-persistence —
+and exits non-zero if any fails. Mandated in `CLAUDE.md` the way `felhom.eu/scripts/site_gates.py` is:
+**run it after any template change**, naming the app(s) you touched.
+
+**Operator ruling, recorded because the alternatives were rejected for measured reasons.**
+Controller-side enforcement at template load was rejected: such a check can only read the file, and a
+static audit of all 53 templates reports the catalog clean **including papra** — it would pass on the
+exact defect it exists to catch. CI was rejected for now: neither repo has any, and there are no users
+yet. What was chosen copies the shape that demonstrably works here — of this project's gates, the only
+ones that ever get run are the ones with a single entry point named in a CLAUDE.md; `site_gates.py` is
+run, and R-29's three orphaned gates are named nowhere and have stopped nothing.
+
+Behaviour: `0` all clean · `1` convicted · `2` UNDETERMINED, **never a pass**; a conviction outranks an
+undetermined result in the summary so the reader knows which they have. Gate output is streamed, not
+captured — a runner that swallows diagnostics makes a conviction unreadable. Scoping passes app names
+through to the two gates that accept them; with no names the runtime gate deploys every template and
+belongs on a scratch host.
+
+**R-161 stays OPEN at reduced scope:** this is convention, run by a person. Real automatic enforcement
+is owed when a second person touches templates.
+
+Verified: `image-pins` passes standalone (53 templates, 0 unpinned); the unknown-option path exits 2;
+the aggregation was unit-checked over five gate-code combinations. **The runtime leg was deliberately
+NOT executed on DooPlex** — it deploys templates via `docker compose`, and DooPlex is the recovery
+chain; it belongs on a scratch host.
+
+## 2026-08-02 — persistence sweep: does every app's data land in a folder the template preserves?
+
+Campaign 10's R-156 found papra writing its database into the container's writable layer while the
+volume the template preserves stayed empty — so its backup completed, verified, and contained
+nothing. papra was never the point: **nothing anywhere checked that the folder a template preserves
+is the folder the app writes to**, across 53 templates. All 53 have now been measured live.
+
+**Result: 43 CLEAN · 3 BROKEN · 7 UNDETERMINED.** Full report and per-app evidence:
+`audits/persistence-sweep-2026-08-02/`.
+
+**New gate — `scripts/check-volume-persistence.py`, the third and the only RUNTIME one.**
+The two image gates are static, and **this defect class is invisible to static analysis** — measured,
+not assumed: a static audit of all 53 composes (every declared volume attached, no anonymous mounts,
+no stray host binds) reports the catalog clean *and reports papra clean*. papra's compose is
+well-formed; only its behaviour is wrong. So the gate deploys each template, exercises it into
+writing data, and compares where the data landed with what is mounted. Exit **0** all clean /
+**1 REFUSED** / **2** undecided. `UNDETERMINED` is exit 2 and is never a pass.
+
+It **refuses to report at all** unless it has just re-proven itself in both directions against two
+canary templates built from a purpose-made image reproducing papra's ownership shape — the pair
+differ only in which path the volume mounts at, so every run carries a live demonstration of R-156
+and of its fix. A detector that flags nothing turns an unexamined catalog into a documented-clean one.
+
+41 fixture tests (`scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py`, no Docker) driving `check()` — the
+function `__main__` calls — plus `rollup_diff`/`classify`. Every rule red-proofed.
+
+**Two templates FIXED** (neither deployed anywhere in the fleet, so no data was stranded):
+
+- **`gramps-web`** — mounted `/app/data`, `/app/media`, `/tmp`, and **`/app/data` is a path the
+  application never writes**. Its accounts database (`GRAMPSWEB_USER_DB_URI` → `/app/users`) and
+  **its family tree** (`GRAMPS_DATABASE_PATH` → `/root/.gramps/grampsdb`) both landed in the
+  container's writable layer: destroyed by any redeploy, absent from every backup, while
+  `gramps_data` was tarred nightly as an empty directory. Now persists the eight paths the image's
+  own environment names, matching upstream's reference compose.
+- **`wishlist`** — mounted `wishlist_data:/data`, another path the app never writes. `prod.db` went
+  into the **anonymous** volume docker creates for the image's `VOLUME /usr/src/app/data` directive.
+  Anonymous volumes are absent from `ResolveDockerVolumeNames`, so `DumpAppVolumes` never backs them
+  up, and `compose down` + `up` orphans them — a store that survives a restart, loses on redeploy and
+  is never in a backup. Now mounts `/usr/src/app/data` and `/usr/src/app/uploads` per upstream.
+
+Every corrected path is confirmed by **two independent sources** — the shipped image's own
+environment/`Config.Volumes`, and upstream's reference compose — never inferred from a directory name.
+
+**`papra` is NOT fixed — referred to the operator.** The one-line fix is prepared and proven, but
+papra is live on one box, and changing the mount target makes the next `compose up -d` recreate the
+container and destroy the writable layer its documents currently live in. That data is already on
+borrowed time, but the fix is what *schedules* the loss. See the report §6.1 for which box it is,
+how far that was determined, and the two options. No migration was written.
+
+**7 UNDETERMINED, counted separately and never folded into CLEAN** — `bentopdf` (stateless by
+design), `uptime-kuma` / `privatebin` / `recipe-importer` (write nothing until a user completes
+setup), `glance` (crash-loops for want of a seeded config — pre-existing, Campaign 7 §6.2),
+`plant-it` (image does not resolve; `lifecycle: abandoned`), `wanderer` (unhealthy).
+
+`CLAUDE.md` and `REUSE.md` updated with the gate and the traps it encodes.

+## 2026-07-21 (later) — app lifecycle replaces the `retired/` directory move

+**The `retired/` mechanism shipped earlier today was wrong and is withdrawn.** Moving a template out
+of `templates/` does un-offer it — but it also makes the controller's orphan detector see the
+template as GONE for anyone already running the app, flagging their working install `Elavult` and
+offering a Törlés button. Withdrawing an app must never take a working app away from a customer.
+
+Replaced by an optional top-level `lifecycle:` field in `.felhom.yml` (controller v0.158.0):
+
+- `available` — default. Absent or empty means this, so all existing templates are unchanged.
+- `hidden` — not offered for new installs; nothing shown to anyone already running it.
+- `abandoned` — not offered for new installs, and every box already running it shows a permanent
+  „Nem karbantartott" badge plus a notice that updates and security fixes will no longer arrive.
+
+Deployed instances keep full function in every state; the controller refuses a deploy of a
+non-available template server-side. An unknown value degrades to `available` with one WARN.
+
+- **`plant-it` returns to `templates/`** with `lifecycle: abandoned` — the first user of the
+  mechanism, and the case that motivated it. Its compose is deliberately unchanged: it pins
+  `msdeluise/plant-it:0.10.0`, a repository that does not exist (the real one is `-server`), and the
+  app is not installable, so rewriting it would imply it is. `retired/` is removed.
+- **The resolvability gate is now lifecycle-aware.** Non-available apps are skipped by default and
+  REPORTED, not silently dropped; `--all` includes them. An abandoned app's dead image is the
+  expected end state, not a finding — counting it would leave the gate permanently red for something
+  nobody intends to fix, and a gate that is always red is a gate nobody reads. 6 new fixture tests
+  (19 total), including one asserting an all-skipped run is a pass rather than an error.
+
+Catalog is back to **53 apps** (52 offered + plant-it abandoned).
+
+## 2026-07-21 — catalog honesty: wanderer re-pinned, plant-it retired, and a standing rot gate (R-41 slice 1)
+
+Campaign 7 left two apps sitting behind a working "Telepítés" button with images that did not
+resolve at all, recorded as findings rather than fixed. Both are now diagnosed rather than hidden,
+and the class of defect gets a gate so it cannot recur silently.
+
+**wanderer — RE-PINNED. The project is alive; the template was pointing at a ghost.**
+`ghcr.io/flomp/wanderer:0.16.0` does not resolve because upstream did three things at once: split
+the app into two images, moved registry, and renamed the GitHub org (Flomp → open-wanderer). Current
+shape, taken from upstream's own compose at tag v0.20.0 (2026-07-07):
+
+- `flomp/wanderer-web:v0.20.0` — the SvelteKit web app, port 3000, `curl` on PATH.
+- `flomp/wanderer-db:v0.20.0` — PocketBase, port 8090. Built FROM `scratch`: no shell, no package
+  manager, a static curl baked in at `/curl` — hence the absolute-path healthcheck.
+- `getmeili/meilisearch:v1.36.0` — still a required sidecar; both other services wait on its health.
+  **Pinned DOWN from the v1.49 Campaign 7 had set**, per the R-42 ruling: a sidecar pin follows the
+  app template's own proposed pin, never the newest tag independently.
+- **New required volume** `/data/plugins` on the db — v0.20.0 moved the Strava/Komoot/Hammerhead
+  integrations into a WASM plugin sandbox that lives there.
+- **New: a second hostname** (`SUBDOMAIN_DB`, default `hike-db`). `PUBLIC_POCKETBASE_URL` is a
+  browser-side variable — the user's browser talks to PocketBase directly, so it cannot be an
+  internal address. Upstream's own proxy example uses two hostnames for the same reason.
+- New generated secret `POCKETBASE_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (`hex:16` → exactly the 32 characters upstream
+  requires). `mem_limit` 384M → 1024M, matching the sum of the three services.
+
+**plant-it — RETIRED to `retired/plant-it/` (operator ruling 2026-07-21).** The pin was only
+slightly wrong — the repository is `msdeluise/plant-it-server`, and `0.10.0` was the right version —
+but correcting the name would have been the wrong fix. Upstream has **discontinued self-hosting**:
+`backend/` and `deployment/` are deleted from `main`, the project is now an Android app on
+F-Droid/Obtainium, and the last server image was pushed **2024-12-10** (a security-frozen Spring
+Boot 3.4.0). It also requires **MySQL 8.0 + Redis**, which the template never had — its header
+claimed "Database: None (file-based)", which was never true. Ruling: do not ship unmaintained
+software to customers. Retirement is reversible (`git mv retired/plant-it templates/plant-it`);
+nothing is deleted. Catalog is now **52 apps**.
+
+**`scripts/check-image-resolvable.py` — R-41 slice 1: the standing rot gate.** `check-image-pins.py`
+is syntactic and proves only that a template pins *something* concrete; it cannot see that the thing
+is gone. This resolves every unique pin with `docker manifest inspect`, one image at a time, and
+exits 0 / 1 (GONE) / 2 (inconclusive). Two traps are encoded in it, both observed live during this
+change:
+
+- `docker manifest inspect` prints `toomanyrequests: …` and **still exits 0** — the same
+  exits-0-on-failure shape as the ISO tooling's `validate-answer`, so stderr is checked even on rc=0.
+- The inverse, which the first full sweep actually did: it called **24 of 65 pins dead**, including
+  `postgres:16-alpine` and `redis:7-alpine`, purely because Docker Hub throttled it partway through.
+  Ambiguity now resolves to INCONCLUSIVE, never to an accusation — a gate that cries wolf gets
+  ignored, and then it protects nothing.
+
+14 fixture tests (`scripts/test_check_image_resolvable.py`), no network — the resolver is injected.
+
+## 2026-07-19 — docs: workspace-root pointer follows the CC move to DooPlex
+
+**Docs only, no template change.** Claude Code now runs on DooPlex (192.168.0.180, Debian 13)
+instead of the Windows workstation. `CLAUDE.md`'s cross-repo pointer becomes
+`/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/CLAUDE.md`. This repo carried **no other** environment-specific content —
+it was the only one of the four that needed nothing else.
+
+## 2026-07-19 — CAMPAIGN 7: full catalog sweep (53/53 apps deployed + validated on the demo box)
+
+Every app in the catalog was bumped to its newest stable upstream tag where one existed, then
+**actually deployed** through the controller's real endpoints on the demo box (controller 0.146.0),
+validated (all containers healthy, HTTP through the real Traefik ingress, log scan), and removed
+again through the real delete flow. Full evidence + result matrix:
+`felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-7-catalog-sweep-2026-07-19.md`.
+
+**Result: 45 apps pass end-to-end, 4 do not, 1 is not automatable (plex needs a real PLEX_CLAIM).**
+
+**Version bumps** — ~40 templates moved to current upstream, 15 of them across a major
+(bookstack 25.02→26.05, immich v2→v3, calcom v4→v6, nextcloud 31→34, grafana 11→13, n8n 1→2,
+outline 0.82→1.9, vikunja 0.24→2.3, tandoor 1→2, romm 4→5, radarr 5→6, privatebin 1→2,
+onlyoffice 8→9, claper 1→2, gramps-web v24→v25). `uptime-kuma` moved off the floating `:2` tag
+to `2.4.0`. **DB/cache sidecar majors were deliberately NOT bumped** — rationale in the campaign
+doc §4 (a DB major is the application's decision, and `postgres:16-alpine` already tracks 16.x).
+
+**13 template fixes, every one live-re-validated:**
+
+- **7 broken healthchecks.** This is not cosmetic: Traefik will not route to an `unhealthy`
+  container, so a probe that cannot run makes the app return **404 to the customer while it serves
+  200 on its own port**. adventurelog (wget in a distroless image → Node-exec at an absolute path),
+  emby (curl absent, BusyBox only), papra + wishlist (node-only images), homebox (`--spider` sends
+  HEAD, endpoint answers 405 to HEAD / 200 to GET), zipline (v4 renamed `/api/health` →
+  `/api/healthcheck`), tandoor (`start_period` too short for gunicorn).
+- **5 apps that had NEVER been deployable** and were fixed: papra (missing required `AUTH_SECRET`,
+  now a generated `data_key` secret), zipline (v4 `CORE_DATABASE_URL` → `DATABASE_URL`), wishlist
+  (dead Docker Hub image → followed upstream to `ghcr.io/cmintey/wishlist:v0.66.0`), homebox
+  (upstream dropped the `v` tag prefix + new required `HBOX_AUTH_API_KEY_PEPPER`), wger (2.6 needs
+  the full `DJANGO_DB_*` set and listens on :8000, not :80 — the Traefik port was wrong too).
+- **4 memory/OOM corrections proven by a live OOM:** gramps-web 384M→1024M, n8n 512M→1536M
+  (V8 heap), rallly 256M→768M, tandoor 512M→1024M (+ its `mem_limit` sum was already wrong).
+- **gokapi reverted v2.2.4 → v1.9.6**: v2 refuses to run against the seeded ConfigVersion-21
+  config and demands an intermediate v2.0.0 pass, even on a fresh deploy. Shipping it would have
+  broken every new gokapi deploy. Needs a dedicated v2 config-migration task.
+
+**Still failing (recorded, not fixed):** `glance` (needs a seeded `glance.yml`; PROVEN pre-existing —
+the pre-campaign v0.7.4 pin fails identically), `gokapi` (above), `plant-it` and `wanderer`
+(their images do not resolve at all — neither the new tag nor the one the catalog already shipped).

+  point and runs all three gates below, exiting non-zero if any fails. Name the app(s) you touched

+  deploys **every** template, so that form belongs **on a scratch host, never a customer box**.
+  Exit: 0 all clean · 1 convicted · 2 UNDETERMINED, which is never a pass.
+  **Why a runner and not four separate invocations** (operator ruling 2026-08-02, R-161): of this
+  project's gates, the only ones that ever get run are the ones with a single entry point named in a
+  CLAUDE.md — `felhom.eu/scripts/site_gates.py` is run, and R-29's three orphans are named nowhere and
+  have stopped nothing. Controller-side enforcement was rejected because a check at template load can
+  only read the file, and a static audit of all 53 templates reports the catalog clean **including
+  papra** — it would pass on the exact defect it exists to catch. CI was rejected for now: neither
+  repo has any, and there are no users yet. **R-161 stays open at reduced scope** — this is
+  convention, run by a person; real automatic enforcement is owed when a second person touches
+  templates. **Update 2026-08-02:** `.githooks/pre-push` now runs `catalog_gates.py --fast` on every
+  push, which is gate 1 (`check-image-pins.py`) only — the other two need network and a container
+  runtime and take minutes per app, and a push that pulls images and starts containers gets bypassed
+  within a week, after which the bypass is the habit. They stay deliberate periodic runs. The hook is
+  per-clone (`git config core.hooksPath .githooks`) and `git push --no-verify` bypasses it, which is
+  why gate 1 alone cannot be the whole story — CI re-runs the entry point on every push and **emails
+  on failure** (`felhom.eu` `OPEN-ITEMS.md` R-168, CLOSED 2026-08-02), which is what notices a bypass.
 - **Never `:latest` or untagged images in templates** — pin a concrete version tag; an app deployed
   anywhere in the fleet is pinned to the digest it is currently running (a pin must never cause a
   version jump). Digest pins (`@sha256:`) also count. Gate: `python scripts/check-image-pins.py`
   (run after any compose change; exit 1 on any floating/missing tag).
+- **A pinned tag can still rot away upstream** — the pin gate is syntactic and cannot see that.
+  Second gate: `python3 scripts/check-image-resolvable.py` (exit 0 resolve / 1 GONE / 2 inconclusive),
+  run at the start of every catalog campaign and before any publish train that vouches the catalog.
+  Needs network + `docker`; unauthenticated Docker Hub throttles a full sweep, so `docker login`
+  first or expect exit 2. It reports a throttle as INCONCLUSIVE, never as a dead image.
+- **A well-formed template can still preserve the wrong folder** — and no static check can see it.
+  Third gate, the only RUNTIME one: `python3 scripts/check-volume-persistence.py`
+  (0 all clean / **1 REFUSED** / 2 undecided). It deploys each template, exercises it into writing
+  data, and compares where the data landed against what the compose mounts. Needs Docker + network
+  and minutes per app, so it is periodic like the resolvability gate — run it whenever a template's
+  `volumes:` block or image tag changes, and at the start of every catalog campaign, **on a scratch
+  host, never a customer box**. It refuses to report at all unless it has just re-proven itself in
+  both directions against two canary templates. Fixture tests (no Docker):
+  `python3 scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py`.
+  **UNDETERMINED is exit 2 and is never a pass** — an app that wrote nothing has not been shown to
+  be correct. Why it exists: papra mounted `papra_data:/app/data` while the app wrote its database
+  to `/app/app-data/db/`, so its backup completed, verified, and contained an empty directory
+  (R-156, Campaign 10).
+- **Taking an app out of circulation — use `lifecycle:`, never a directory move.** `.felhom.yml`
+  gains an optional `lifecycle:` field: `available` (default; absent/empty means this), `hidden`
+  (not offered for new installs, no explanation owed), `abandoned` (upstream stopped developing it —
+  not offered for new installs, and every box already running it shows a permanent "Nem karbantartott"
+  notice). **Deployed instances keep working in full either way** — the state affects what is
+  OFFERED, never what already runs, and the controller REFUSES a deploy of a non-available template
+  server-side. An unknown value degrades to `available` with one WARN, so a typo can never brick a
+  template. This supersedes the short-lived `retired/` directory move, which was wrong: removing a
+  template orphans every customer already running it.

-**Baseline:** `main` @ `2ebe082` → (this commit). **Scope:** 5 compose image lines + new gate script
-+ CLAUDE.md rule. No healthcheck/env/format touch-ups; no controller change; no redeploys triggered.

+## What changed
+
+`templates/papra/docker-compose.yml` — the volume mount moved from `/app/data` to `/app/app-data`.
+One line, plus a Hungarian comment recording why, so the next reader does not "fix" it back.
 
 ## Why
 
-The controller's recovery-unit `ImagePins` (felhom-controller `internal/backup/recovery_unit.go`)
-pins the compose *tag*: restoring a `:latest`-pinned app re-pulls whatever `:latest` points to at
-restore time — potentially schema-incompatible with the data being restored. Load-bearing rule:
-**a deployed app pins to the digest it is currently running** (the pin never causes a version jump);
-undeployed apps pin to the latest verified upstream stable.
+papra mounted `papra_data:/app/data` while the application writes to `/app/app-data`. Its database
+therefore lived in the container's writable layer: lost on redeploy, and tarred nightly as an empty
+directory while the healthcheck stayed green. Last of the three apps R-156 convicted.
 
-## The five pins (old → new, with evidence)
+## Precondition — checked, not inherited
 
-| App | New pin | Evidence (all gathered 2026-07-12) |
-|-----|---------|------------------------------------|
-| **calibre-web** (DEPLOYED, demo 9201) | `crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:v4.0.6` | Running RepoDigest on 9201: `sha256:c31a738b6d5e…`; Docker Hub tag `v4.0.6` digest: `sha256:c31a738b6d5e…` — **exact match** (Scenario A: pin == running image; a newer tag would have violated the no-silent-upgrade guard) |
-| **bentopdf** (undeployed) | `ghcr.io/alam00000/bentopdf:v2.8.6` | GitHub latest release v2.8.6 (2026-06-28); ghcr manifest digest `sha256:eaeea1e4…` == `latest` |
-| **papra** (undeployed) | `ghcr.io/papra-hq/papra:26.6.1-rootless` | ghcr `latest` digest `sha256:a7a42e22…` == `26.6.1-rootless`; the `-root` variant differs (`c5757540…`) — the **rootless** variant is what `:latest` was shipping, so behavior (permission semantics) is preserved exactly |
-| **recipe-importer** (own image, undeployed) | `gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/recipe-importer:v0.9.11` | Its repo CHANGELOG declares v0.9.11 (2026-02-26); the registry **already had** `v0.9.11` (build.sh pushes `:VERSION`+`:latest` together), digest `sha256:f3cb617c…` == `latest` — **Scenario C's retag was unnecessary**; no push performed |
-| **termix** (undeployed) | `ghcr.io/lukegus/termix:2.5.0` | ghcr digests: `latest` == `2.5.0` == `release-2.5.0` (`sha256:4d337131…`); bare CalVer tag chosen |
+The register's "deployed nowhere" evidence was from 2026-08-02 and covered one guest; both demo boxes
+were wiped and rebuilt on 2026-08-03, so it was re-measured three ways:
 
-All five `docker manifest inspect <ref>` checks ran on the build server (180) with per-command exit
-codes checked — 5× OK, zero pipe-swallowed.
+- `docker ps -a` (**including stopped containers**) on demo-hp guest 9201 → no papra
+- `docker ps -a` on demo-felhom guest 9201 → no papra
+- hub `/hosts` fleet view → exactly two enrolled hosts (`demo-felhom-8363b5`, `demo-hp-bb76ea`), **zero** papra references
 
-`templates.json`: contains **no image strings** (legacy Portainer-era metadata) — untouched, per §4.3.
+Deployed nowhere ⇒ the template fix strands no live data.
 
-## Sweep + red-proofs (§10 / Scenario D)
+## How the fix was chosen
 
-- New rerunnable gate: `scripts/check-image-pins.py` — scans every `templates/*/docker-compose.yml`
-  `image:` line; fails on floating tags (`latest`,`dev`,`nightly`,`edge`,`main`,`master`) AND on
-  untagged refs (implicit :latest); `@sha256:` counts as pinned; registry-port refs handled.
-- **Final run: `image-pin gate OK — 53 templates, 0 unpinned images`, exit 0.**
-- **Red-proof 1** (floating tag): reverted termix to `:latest` → exit 1 with
-  `templates/termix/docker-compose.yml:11 … [floating tag :latest]` → restored → exit 0. ✓
-- **Red-proof 2** (bare shape): stripped termix's tag entirely → exit 1 with
-  `[NO TAG (implicit :latest)]` → restored → exit 0. ✓ (Both §7-D shapes proven.)
+From the **image**, not the README:
 
-## Fleet-deployment verification (Scenario B)
+```
+WORKDIR=/app
+DATABASE_URL=file:./app-data/db/db.sqlite
+DOCUMENT_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOT=./app-data/documents
+PAPRA_CONFIG_DIR=./app-data
+```
 
-- demo 9201: `docker ps` — bentopdf/papra/termix/recipe-importer **not deployed**; calibre-web
-  running from `:latest` (Up 4 hours at check time).
-- felhotest (router.abonet.hu:33022): **unreachable** (connection refused).
-- Peti's box: offline (dead fan, no ETA).
-- Operator asked and approved proceeding: every pin is digest-identical to current `:latest`, so
-  even a hidden deployment elsewhere sees zero change vs. the status quo on its next redeploy.
+and `/app/data` does not exist in the image at all — the old mount pointed at a path nothing could
+ever write.
 
-## Git-sync no-op verification on 9201
+**Reconfiguring the app to write to `/app/data` was available and was deliberately not taken.** All
+three paths are env-settable, so option (1) of the task's preference order was open. It enumerates
+data paths: a fourth added upstream would escape to the writable layer again, silently — this exact
+defect, re-armed and invisible. Mounting the app's own data ROOT captures every current and future
+path by construction, in one line rather than three env vars coupled to upstream.
 
-- Pushed `71828a8`; sync triggered via `docker exec felhom-controller curl -s -X POST
-  http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/sync` → HTTP 200. (Gotcha confirmed: guest-netns
-  `127.0.0.1:8080` is NOT reachable — the API must be curled from inside the controller
-  container; the public-URL POST proxy gotcha also applies.)
-- Synced file on 9201: `/opt/docker/stacks/calibre-web/docker-compose.yml:21` now reads
-  `image: crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:v4.0.6`. ✓
-- calibre-web container after sync: `crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:latest | Up 5 hours
-  (healthy)` — **uptime unchanged, no restart**; the running image's digest equals the v4.0.6 pin,
-  so the next redeploy pulls the byte-identical image. ✓
+## Proof — the runtime gate, in both directions
 
-## Observations (not acted on)
+| Run | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| `check-volume-persistence.py papra` (fixed) | **CLEAN**, self-test passed: *"prober flags the R-156 signature and clears a correct template — trustworthy"* |
+| same gate, mount reverted to `/app/data` (red-proof) | **BROKEN** — `mount /app/data is NOT writable by the app's own uid=999`; `DATA in the writable layer at /app/app-data/db (db_signature=True, e.g. ['db.sqlite'])`; `declared volume /app/data is EMPTY` |
+| `catalog_gates.py papra` (full, not `--fast`) | **rc=0** — image-pins OK (53 templates, 0 unpinned) · image-resolvable OK · volume-persistence OK |
 
-- When Peti's box returns: check whether bentopdf/papra/termix/recipe-importer are deployed there;
-  if any is running an OLDER digest than the pin, decide upgrade vs. per-node pin then. felhotest
-  should get the same check when reachable again.
-- papra upstream publishes only `-root`/`-rootless` variant tags — any future manual upgrade must
-  keep the `-rootless` suffix or permissions semantics change.
-- bentopdf's ghcr `tags/list` API returns a stale/partial page (newest listed was 1.15.3 while
-  v2.8.6 exists and serves) — tag existence must be checked via manifest HEAD/inspect, not tags/list.
-- recipe-importer's registry `:latest` remains published (allowed; only templates must not use it).
+The red-proof was run against the **real template**, not only the built-in canary, so the gate is
+shown to discriminate on the artifact actually being shipped.
+
+## Two operational notes for the next run of that gate
+
+- **It needs root.** It reads volume contents under `/var/lib/docker/volumes` (mode `drwx--x---`). As
+  a normal user its own canary self-test fails UNDETERMINED and it correctly refuses to report — the
+  fail-closed behaviour worked exactly as designed.
+- **Scope it to the app you touched.** Unscoped it deploys all 53 templates; that run exceeded ten
+  minutes and was aborted. Its scratch containers were cleaned up afterwards (`volgate-*` projects).
+- It hardcodes a scratch path `/srv/felhom-gate`, which had to be created on DooPlex.
+
+## Teardown
+
+`volgate-*` scratch compose projects removed with their volumes. The pre-existing `jarr-*` containers
+(9 days old, unrelated) were left untouched.

+| App lifecycle (`available`/`hidden`/`abandoned`) | `templates/plant-it/.felhom.yml` (`lifecycle:` block) | Optional top-level `lifecycle:` in `.felhom.yml`. Absent/empty ≡ `available`. `hidden` = not offered for new installs; `abandoned` = same, PLUS a permanent "Nem karbantartott" badge + notice on every box already running it. **Deployed instances keep full function in both states** — lifecycle governs what is OFFERED, never what runs; the controller refuses a deploy of a non-available template server-side (fail-closed, so a stale link or direct POST cannot install one). Unknown value → treated as `available` + one WARN, never a broken template. **Do NOT take an app out of circulation by deleting or moving its directory** — that orphans every customer already running it, which is what the 2026-07-21 `retired/` experiment got wrong. The resolvability gate skips non-available apps, so an abandoned app's dead image is not a standing red. |
+| **Catalog gates — THE entry point** | `scripts/catalog_gates.py` | **Run `python3 scripts/catalog_gates.py <app>` after ANY template change** (mandated in `CLAUDE.md`). Runs all three gates below in order — image-pins, image-resolvable, volume-persistence — and exits **non-zero if any fails**; **2 (UNDETERMINED) is reported distinctly and is never a pass**, 1 (convicted) outranks 2 in the summary. Naming app(s) scopes the two gates that accept scoping, which is the normal after-a-change run; with no names the RUNTIME gate deploys every template, so that form is **scratch host only**. **Why a runner** (operator ruling 2026-08-02, R-161): the only gates in this project that ever get run are the ones with a single entry point named in a CLAUDE.md — `felhom.eu/scripts/site_gates.py` is run, R-29's three orphans are named nowhere and have stopped nothing. Controller-side enforcement was rejected because a load-time check reads only the file and a static audit reports the catalog clean **including papra** — it would pass on the very defect it exists to catch; CI was rejected for now (neither repo has any, no users yet). Adding a fourth gate here means adding it to `GATES` in this file — nothing else. |
 | Image pinning | ALL `templates/*/docker-compose.yml` (`image:` line) | **Never `:latest` or untagged** (recovery-unit `ImagePins` pins the tag — `:latest` breaks restore fidelity). Pin a concrete version tag; an app deployed anywhere in the fleet pins to the digest it is RUNNING (pin ≠ upgrade); `@sha256:` digest pins also count. Gate: `python scripts/check-image-pins.py` after any compose change (swept 2026-07-12: 5 pins). TRAP: ghcr `tags/list` can be stale/partial — verify tag existence via `docker manifest inspect`, never the tag list. |
+| Image RESOLVABILITY (does the pin still exist?) | `scripts/check-image-resolvable.py` + `scripts/test_check_image_resolvable.py` | The complement to the pin gate, which is purely syntactic and cannot see rot. Run it at the START of every catalog campaign and before any publish train that vouches the catalog: `python3 scripts/check-image-resolvable.py [app …]`. Exit **0** all resolve, **1** the registry says an image is GONE, **2** INCONCLUSIVE/harness error. **Two traps it encodes, both live-observed:** (a) `docker manifest inspect` prints `toomanyrequests` and **still exits 0** — never trust the exit code alone (same shape as the ISO `validate-answer` trap); (b) the inverse — the first sweep called 24 of 65 pins dead, `postgres:16-alpine` among them, because Docker Hub throttled it partway. Ambiguity therefore resolves to INCONCLUSIVE, never to an accusation; a gate that cries wolf gets ignored. Unauthenticated Hub lookups WILL throttle on a full 65-pin sweep — `docker login` first, or expect exit 2. |
+| Volume PERSISTENCE (does the app write where the template preserves?) | `scripts/check-volume-persistence.py` + `scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py` | The third gate and the only RUNTIME one — **the two image gates are static and this class is invisible to static analysis**, which was measured, not assumed: a static audit of all 53 composes (every declared volume attached, no anonymous mounts, no stray host binds) reports the catalog clean AND reports papra clean. papra's compose is well-formed; it mounts `papra_data:/app/data` while the app writes `/app/app-data/db/db.sqlite` into the container's **writable layer** and cannot write `/app/data` at all — so `DumpAppVolumes` (`felhom-controller internal/backup/backup.go:543`) tars an empty directory and the backup verifies (R-156, Campaign 10). Run: `python3 scripts/check-volume-persistence.py [app …]` **on a scratch host, never a customer box**. Exit **0** all CLEAN, **1** REFUSED, **2** UNDETERMINED/prober untrustworthy. **Traps it encodes:** (a) `A` vs `C` in `docker diff` — a linuxserver.io entrypoint chowning its app tree produced 1305 `C` entries and called calibre-web BROKEN on the first pass, so DATA is decided from `A` only and a `C` on a DB file is adjudicated by comparing bytes against a pristine container of the same image; (b) no `docker exec` anywhere — Campaign 7 §1.1's OCI-error-to-stdout trap, so uid comes from `/proc/<pid>/status` and writability from a host-side `stat`; (c) `base64key` secrets need the controller's `base64:` prefix (`deploy.go:904`) or bookstack serves 500s and the harness looks like an app defect; (d) it self-tests in BOTH directions against two canary templates before reporting anything — a detector that flags nothing turns an unexamined catalog into a documented-clean one. UNDETERMINED is **never** folded into CLEAN. |
 | Docker healthcheck host | ALL `templates/*/docker-compose.yml` (`healthcheck.test:`) | **Always `127.0.0.1`, never `localhost`.** BusyBox `wget` (and node/python/curl one-shots) resolve `localhost`→IPv6 `::1` with NO cross-address-family fallback; an app that binds IPv4-only then reads docker-`unhealthy` while fully serving (vaultwarden, re-run 2026-07-06 — swept all 48 templates). |

+# Catalog persistence sweep — does every app's data land in a persisted volume?
+
+**Run:** 2026-08-02 · **Repo:** `app-catalog-felhom.eu` (only) · **Class:** implementation —
+detection first, fixes second.
+
+Campaign 10 found that papra stores its database somewhere the backup never looks (R-156). papra is
+not the interesting part. **Nothing anywhere checked that the folder a template preserves is the
+folder the app writes to**, across 53 templates. This is what that check found.
+
+> **Parallel-session fence, observed.** Another session was running the M-band RTO measurement on
+> `demo-hp`, writing to `felhom.eu`. This session ran on `demo-felhom` and committed only to
+> `app-catalog-felhom.eu`. **No commit to `felhom.eu`, no register edit, nothing on `demo-hp`.**
+> All register entries below are proposed text for later filing by one session, in one place.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Venue and baselines
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Host | **`demo-felhom`** (N100), Tier 0 — `ssh felhom-pve` (Tailscale `100.70.170.35`) |
+| Guest | **LXC 9301 `catalog-persist`**, created for this run and destroyed at teardown (§9) |
+| Guest spec | Debian 13, 4 cores, 6 GB + 2 GB swap, `local-lvm:120`, `nesting=1,keyctl=1`, DHCP `192.168.0.22` |
+| Reach | `ssh felhom-pve "pct exec 9301 -- …"`. **No direct SSH**: the N100 sits on a remote LAN whose `192.168.0.0/24` collides with DooPlex's, so `192.168.0.22` is unroutable from here (`No route to host`) |
+| Docker | 29.7.1, compose v5.3.1 |
+| Untouched | guest **9201** on `demo-felhom` (read-only `docker ps`/`volume ls` only), `drill-r50`, Peti's cluster, both boxes' backup configuration, **everything on `demo-hp`** |
+
+### Baselines, read fresh
+
+| What | Value | How |
+|---|---|---|
+| `app-catalog-felhom.eu` HEAD | **`4252121`** = `origin/main`, clean at start | `git rev-parse` |
+| Templates | **53** | `ls templates \| wc -l` |
+| `felhom.eu` HEAD (read-only, for citation) | **`7ba7c2a`** | `git rev-parse` — **not committed to** |
+| felhom-controller `main` | **v0.188.0**, HEAD `4115e88` | `CHANGELOG.md` top |
+| Hub | 0.86.0 | live `/apps` footer |
+
+### Why the scratch guest runs no controller — stated, because the brief asks for its version
+
+There is **no felhom-controller on 9301, deliberately.** The property under test is a property of
+the *template*, and the controller's role in it is exactly one thing: it resolves the `${…}`
+variables and runs `docker compose up -d` (`felhom-controller/internal/stacks/deploy.go:374`,
+`:551-582`). It does not rewrite the compose file, so a plain Docker host reproducing that env
+substitution exercises the identical code path in the app.
+
+Standing a controller up would have meant enrolling a box with the hub — creating hub-side state
+this session is told not to create, and which R-131 records four orphaned instances of. The
+substitution the controller performs is instead **mirrored exactly**, including the trap that
+`generateValue` prefixes `base64key` with `base64:` (`deploy.go:904`); getting that wrong cost one
+false verdict before it was caught (§3.4).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Part 0 — had this ground been covered?
+
+**No. Neither Campaign 7 nor any gate, `.felhom.yml` field, or CI check tests this property.**
+Each negative below names what was searched.
+
+### 2.1 Campaign 7 tested deployability and health, not persistence
+
+`felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-7-catalog-sweep-2026-07-19.md:38-51` states its method:
+per-container terminal health verdict, healthcheck-binary audit, HTTP probe through the real
+Traefik ingress, login where scriptable, and a log scan. Its result matrix (`:114`) carries the
+columns *pin · MAJOR · deploy · health · http · logs · settle*. **There is no persistence column,
+and no step in the method reads where data landed.**
+
+The proof that this is a gap rather than a technicality is in that same matrix: **papra passed it**
+— `deploy ok`, `health **fixed** ×2`, `http 200`, `logs clean` (`:151`) — while its database was
+being written to a directory no backup would ever contain. Campaign 7 also demonstrated the
+narrower fact that a healthcheck can be a lie (C7-F4, `:210-224`); this sweep demonstrates that a
+*truthful* healthcheck is still not evidence about data.
+
+**What changed since:** nothing that would have closed it. Between Campaign 7 and today the catalog
+gained the resolvability gate (2026-07-21), `lifecycle:` (2026-07-21) and R-75's `data_paths:`
+(2026-07-26) — image currency, circulation status, and folder *labelling* respectively.
+
+### 2.2 No gate asserts a volume ⟷ data-path relationship. Searched:
+
+| Where | What was searched | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| `app-catalog-felhom.eu/scripts/` | full listing | exactly two gates, `check-image-pins.py` (syntactic tag check) and `check-image-resolvable.py` (does the tag still exist) — **both about images, neither about volumes** |
+| catalog repo CI | `.gitea/workflows`, `.github`, drone/woodpecker/ci config; every non-template YAML | **none exists.** Catalog gates are convention-run, invoked by whoever edits the catalog — this matters for §7 |
+| all four repos | `grep -rniE "volume.*(persist\|data.?path\|writable.layer)\|writable.layer\|docker diff\|persistence.(gate\|check)" --include=*.py --include=*.go --include=*.sh` | no check of this kind; the only hits are comments and a test fixture name |
+| all gate scripts, four repos | `ls felhom-controller/scripts/*.py felhom.eu/scripts/*.py app-catalog-felhom.eu/scripts/*.py felhom-agent/scripts/*` | 11 gates. The closest by name, `felhom-controller/scripts/docker_run_volume_path_gate.py`, is unrelated: it allowlists `docker … -v` arguments in **controller Go code** so a controller-local host path cannot be mounted from inside a container (v0.125.0 scenario D) |
+| `.felhom.yml` schema | `backup:`, `data_paths:`, `lifecycle:`, `deploy_fields:` | none expresses "the app writes here" |
+
+### 2.3 The two validators that look closest cannot see this class
+
+`ValidateBackupSpec` (`felhom-controller/internal/appbackup/classify.go`) and `ValidateDataPaths`
+(`internal/stacks/datapaths.go:58`) both reject an entry matching no compose bind — real checks, but
+of **declaration consistency**, not of runtime behaviour. And both operate on
+`ParseComposeClassifiableBinds` (`internal/stacks/classify_binds.go`), which keeps only mounts whose
+host side passes `classifyRoot` — i.e. paths under `${USERDATA_PATH}` / `${HDD_PATH}` /
+`${IMPORT_PATH}`. **Named volumes are skipped entirely.**
+
+That is decisive for papra, which has **zero binds**: every one of these validators is vacuously
+satisfied by it. It is also decisive for scale — **39 of 53 templates declare no felhom-root bind at
+all**, so for three-quarters of the catalog the entire data-protection story is `DumpAppVolumes`
+(`internal/backup/backup.go:543`) tarring a named volume, and nothing checks that the volume has
+anything in it.
+
+### 2.4 R-156's evidence, read before building
+
+`felhom.eu/documentation/tests/campaign10-evidence-2026-07-31/r156-papra-volume.txt` — five numbered
+observations: the volume mounted at `/app/data`; `uid=999(nonroot)` with `/app/data` `root root`;
+`touch: cannot touch '/app/data/.w': Permission denied`; the volume empty but for a canary the
+campaign wrote **as root**; and `db.sqlite` 475136 B in the container's writable layer at
+`/app/app-data/`. The detector was built against those observations, and it reproduces all of them.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The detector
+
+`scripts/check-volume-persistence.py`. **The detector and the gate are the same program** — the
+sweep below was produced by running the committed gate, so the durable artifact is the thing that
+generated the evidence rather than a paper copy of it.
+
+Per app: deploy from the template → exercise it into writing data → compare where the data landed
+against what the compose mounts.
+
+### 3.1 What is observed, and why nothing uses `docker exec`
+
+| | signal | how |
+|---|---|---|
+| M | mount inventory, by persistence class | `docker inspect .Mounts` |
+| D | the writable layer | `docker diff` — Docker **excludes every mounted path** from it, so an entry here is definitionally in no volume and no bind |
+| U | the app's real uid/gid | `/proc/<State.Pid>/status`, **not** `Config.User` — which is empty for papra even though it drops to 999 |
+| W | writability of each mount by that uid | host-side `stat` of the mount source |
+| E | mount occupancy | host-side walk of the mount source |
+
+**No `docker exec` anywhere.** Campaign 7 §1.1 recorded that `docker exec` writes its OCI error to
+STDOUT, so a *missing* binary printed `executable file not found` and read as **present** — which
+made that campaign's entire healthcheck audit report every app honest. Everything here is read from
+`docker inspect`, `docker diff`, `/proc` and the host filesystem, so a distroless or shell-less
+image is observed exactly like any other.
+
+### 3.2 Mount classes — the second defect class this exposes
+
+| class | persists a redeploy? | backed up? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `named-declared` — in the compose `volumes:` block | yes | **yes** |
+| `anonymous` — an image `VOLUME` or unnamed mount (64-hex docker name) | survives a *restart* | **NO** |
+| `bind` | yes | per the backup spec |
+| `tmpfs` | no | no |
+
+The anonymous case is deceptive precisely because it survives a restart. `ResolveDockerVolumeNames`
+(`felhom-controller/internal/appbackup/appdata.go`) returns `<project>_<name>` only for volumes
+**declared in the compose file**, so an anonymous volume is invisible to `DumpAppVolumes` — and a
+`compose down` + `up` orphans it and creates a fresh one. Data there is unbacked-up *and* lost on
+redeploy, with no symptom until someone looks.
+
+### 3.3 What counts as "exercised", and what counts as data
+
+**Exercised.** Every container reaches `running`, and `healthy` where a healthcheck exists; then an
+HTTP request the app's *own router* answers. Any status code — including 3xx/4xx/5xx — proves the
+request reached application code; a connection refusal (`000`) does not. If that produced no writes
+anywhere, a **second-chance pass** walks a wider path list following redirects, so a first-run
+wizard is actually reached, and waits again. **An app that still writes nothing is UNDETERMINED,
+never CLEAN** — health-check-passing is not data-writing, and conflating the two is what let papra
+look fine.
+
+**Data versus noise.** Three rules, deliberately explicit rather than buried in a heuristic:
+
+1. **Noise** — `/tmp`, `/run`, `/var/log`, `/var/cache`, package-manager state, `__pycache__`,
+   `node_modules`, `.cache`, `*.pid`, `*.sock`, `*.log`, `*.pyc`, and the per-container files
+   Docker itself writes (`/etc/hosts`, `/etc/resolv.conf`, …).
+2. **Database signature** — a filename that *proves* a database is in that directory
+   (`*.sqlite*`, `PG_VERSION`, `ib_logfile*`, `data.mdb`, `dump.rdb`, `MANIFEST-*`, `data.ms`, …).
+   The strongest signal, and it needs no path heuristics.
+3. **Data token** — a path saying "app state" (`data`, `storage`, `uploads`, `library`, `documents`,
+   `var/lib/postgresql`, …), used only where rule 2 is silent.
+
+**`A` versus `C` is the whole difficulty**, and rule 3 is where judgement actually lives:
+
+- `A` (added) — the app **created** this file; it exists only in the writable layer. papra's
+  `db.sqlite` is an `A`. **DATA is decided from `A` entries only.**
+- `C` (changed) — a file that **ships in the image** was touched. Usually a chown sweep and
+  entirely benign. A `C` on a *database-signature* file is genuinely ambiguous, because an app
+  writing into a DB shipped in its image looks identical. Those are held as **SUSPECT** and settled
+  **by bytes**: the file is copied out of the running container and out of a pristine container
+  created from the same image, and compared. Identical → a chown, recorded and dismissed.
+  Different → a real write into an image-layer file, which is papra's defect with a different verb.
+  Unreadable → **UNDETERMINED**, never folded into CLEAN.
+
+### 3.4 Red-proofs — both directions, before the sweep, and again on every run
+
+| | claim | result |
+|---|---|---|
+| **positive** | it flags **papra** | **BROKEN**, reproducing R-156's evidence line for line: `/app/data` EMPTY and `NOT writable by the app's own uid=999 gid=999`, `db.sqlite` in the writable layer at `/app/app-data/db` |
+| **negative** | it stays quiet on a known-good app | **vaultwarden CLEAN** — and *demonstrably* good, not merely unflagged (below) |
+
+The negative is a **proven** negative. `state/survive2.py` deployed vaultwarden, let it write, ran a
+real `docker compose down` + `up -d` (no `-v` — that is a redeploy; `down --volumes` is the
+uninstall path, Campaign 7 §2), and re-fingerprinted every file by sha256 **and inode**:
+
+```
+vaultwarden   SURVIVES   before=4 after=4 survived=2 changed=2 lost=0
+  survived: /data::db.sqlite3     <- the database itself, byte-identical, SAME INODE
+            /data::rsa_key.pem
+  changed : /data::db.sqlite3-shm , /data::db.sqlite3-wal   <- SQLite sidecars, expected on restart
+```
+
+**The self-test runs on every invocation, in both directions.** Before the gate reports anything it
+puts two canary templates through the same prober and refuses to issue a verdict unless it calls
+one BROKEN and the other CLEAN. Both are built from a purpose-made image reproducing papra's exact
+ownership shape — `/app/data` root-owned, `/app/app-data` owned by the app's uid — and **differ only
+in which path the volume is mounted at**, so the canary pair is a live demonstration of R-156 *and*
+of its fix, every run. A detector that flags nothing is worse than none: it converts an unexamined
+catalog into a documented-clean one.
+
+### 3.5 Seven defects in the detector, every one found by adjudicating a flag rather than trusting it
+
+Recorded because each would have put a wrong number in the matrix, and **six of the seven made a
+correct app look broken** — the failure mode that gets a gate switched off and then protects nothing.
+
+| # | defect | what it did |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **`base64key` lost the controller's `base64:` prefix** (`deploy.go:904`) | bookstack's Laravel `APP_KEY` was invalid, it served 500s, read UNDETERMINED. With the prefix: CLEAN. A harness bug wearing an app defect's clothes — the class Campaign 7 §1.1 and Campaign 10 §4d both record |
+| 2 | **`C` entries scored as data** | a linuxserver.io entrypoint re-owning its application tree produced **1305 `C` entries** for calibre-web, 92 of them PNGs under `cps/static/css/images/**`. Called BROKEN. Led to the `A`/`C` split and the byte-level adjudicator (§3.3) |
+| 3 | **a cache *directory* escaped the noise filter** | `docker diff` lists directories, so the bytecode cache appeared as a bare `…/crafty/config/__pycache__` entry while its `.pyc` children were filtered by suffix — the directory then being the only surviving entry under a path containing `config`. crafty-controller called BROKEN four times over with its data correctly placed. Fixed by normalising with a trailing slash, covering `node_modules`, `.cache`, `.git` at once |
+| 4 | **`postgresql.conf` listed as a database signature** | it is a *config* file the postgres entrypoint writes at init. immich called BROKEN with its PGDATA correctly in its volume, **1831 files** |
+| 5 | **path tokens convicted on their own** | onlyoffice unpacks its OWN static assets into the writable layer at first boot — plugin icons, slide-theme `media/`, `web-apps/apps/api/documents/api.js`, **2560 added entries** — while its real data mount received data normally. Rule 3 was **demoted to report-only** |
+| 6 | **the structural check asked per container, not per app** | fired on **docmost, immich and claper** — three correct apps, identical shape: the app container's only volume is for user uploads and legitimately empty on a fresh install, while all real state sits in the sibling database container's volume (1540 / 1833 / 1470 files) |
+| 7 | **mount rules never consulted the noise list** | the prefixes are written `/run/`, so a bare mount target `/run` matched none of them. privatebin's image declares `VOLUME /run`; the anonymous volume docker made there holds `nginx.pid`, `php-fpm.sock` and s6 fifos, and read as 14 files of unbacked-up customer data |
+
+Plus one that was not a false verdict but a **reporting** defect, and arguably the worst of the set:
+
+8. **A finding was being swallowed by a louder one.** gramps-web's structural finding — its *family
+   tree* landing outside every mount, the entire point of the app — went into the undetermined
+   bucket, and that bucket is discarded whenever a BROKEN leg exists. Its lesser defect (the
+   accounts database) convicted first and hid it. A finding that disappears because a different
+   finding won belongs to the same family as an absent log line read as health, and the fix is that
+   the structural finding is now reported whatever the verdict.
+
+**The pattern, which is the real lesson.** Every false positive came from a rule that identified data
+by its **name** rather than by evidence of what it is: `C` assumed to be a write, `postgresql.conf`
+assumed to be a database, `media/` and `config/` assumed to be customer content, `/run` assumed to be
+storage because it was a volume. The rules that never needed correcting are the ones grounded in
+something checkable — a database file the app **created**, a mount its own uid **cannot write**,
+bytes that **differ** from the image's copy, and *did anything land in a preserved folder at all*.
+
+**Restarts, stated plainly.** The sweep was restarted from the first app **twice** rather than merge
+a matrix built by more than one version of the rules — the call Campaign 10 made restarting run 2b
+from cycle 1. Defects 6, 7 and 8 were found after the final pass had begun; all three are in
+`classify()`, which reads only what the probe already captured, so those verdicts were **re-derived**
+rather than re-measured (`state/reclassify.py`), and then **every non-CLEAN and every flipped app was
+re-run live end-to-end** through the final gate so no reported verdict rests on post-processing
+(§5.3). Six verdicts changed on re-derivation: claper, docmost, immich, sparkyfitness and zipline
+UNDETERMINED→CLEAN, privatebin BROKEN→UNDETERMINED.
+
+**And one rule was written, red-proofed, and deleted.** A second "are all this directory's children
+noise?" filter looked like a sensible belt to defect 3's brace. Its red-proof came back **green**,
+which is the tell: `e["added"]` can only ever contain entries that already passed `is_noise`, so the
+check is always False — dead code wearing the costume of a safeguard, exactly the trap `CLAUDE.md`
+catalogues. It is gone, the code says why it is not there, and
+`test_cache_directories_are_filtered_at_ENTRY_level` pins the mechanism that actually does the work.
+
+## 4. The sweep — all 53 templates
+
+**43 CLEAN · 3 BROKEN · 7 UNDETERMINED.** UNDETERMINED is counted separately and is never folded
+into CLEAN; each one's reason is in §4.2.
+
+Evidence per app: `evidence/<app>/probe.json` — the full probe (mount inventory with occupancy and
+writability, the app's real uid, the writable-layer rollup, the adjudicated suspects) plus the
+verdict and its reasons. Runner log: `state/gate.log`.
+
+**How to read the mount column:** `[vol]` a named volume declared in the compose (persisted AND
+backed up) · `[ANON]` an anonymous volume from the image's own `VOLUME` directive (persisted across
+a restart, **never backed up**, orphaned by a redeploy) · `[bind]` a host bind · `,EMPTY` the mount
+received nothing.

+
+### 4.2 UNDETERMINED — seven, each with its reason
+
+**None of these is a pass.** Four are apps that genuinely wrote nothing, which is a limit of the
+exercise rather than a property of the template; three could not be started at all.
+
+| app | why it is undetermined | is this a template defect? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `bentopdf` | Declares **zero volumes** and wrote nothing. Stateless by design — a browser-side PDF tool. | No — but the gate cannot distinguish "stateless" from "not exercised hard enough", and saying CLEAN would claim a check that was never made. |
+| `uptime-kuma` | Healthy, 302 to `/setup`, **0 entries in `docker diff`**, volume empty. v2 creates its database only when the setup wizard is submitted. | Unknown. Needs a completed wizard to decide. |
+| `privatebin` | Wrote nothing to `/srv/data`; no paste was ever posted. (Its `/run`, `/tmp`, `/var/lib/nginx/tmp` anonymous volumes are runtime state — see §3.5.6.) | Unknown. Needs a posted paste to decide. |
+| `recipe-importer` | Its one mount `/data` stayed empty and the only writes were at `/`. | Unknown. Needs a real import to decide. |
+| `glance` | **Crash-loop** (`restarting`, exit 1). It needs `/app/config/glance.yml` and the template mounts an empty config volume without seeding one. | Pre-existing and already recorded — Campaign 7 §6.2 proved the same failure on the pre-campaign pin. Not a persistence finding; the app never ran. |
+| `plant-it` | `pull access denied for msdeluise/plant-it, repository does not exist` — no container was created. | No. The app is `lifecycle: abandoned` for exactly this reason (CHANGELOG 2026-07-21); its dead image is the expected end state. |
+| `wanderer` | Container `unhealthy`. Its `/pb_data` (6) and `/meili_data` (11) did receive data, so the app is not obviously broken — but a verdict on an unhealthy app would be a verdict on a half-started one. | Unknown. Needs a healthy deploy to decide. |
+
+### 4.3 What the CLEAN column actually establishes
+
+For the 43 CLEAN apps the claim is bounded, and worth stating precisely: **the data each app wrote
+during a first-boot-plus-one-HTTP-request exercise landed inside a mount the template preserves,
+none of it landed in the writable layer, and every mount was writable by the app's own uid.** It is
+not a claim that every future write will land there — an app that stores uploads correctly but
+writes, say, a search index elsewhere on first use would still read CLEAN here. That is the
+residual gap, and it is what the periodic re-run in §7.1 exists for.
+
+
+
+## 5. Fixes — two made, each with a survives-a-redeploy proof
+
+Every corrected path is confirmed by **two independent sources**, never inferred from a directory
+name: the shipped image's own environment/`Config.Volumes`, and upstream's reference compose.
+Guessing at a data path is how this defect class was created.
+
+Neither app is deployed anywhere in the fleet (hub `/apps` lists 10 deployed apps; neither is among
+them), so neither fix strands anything. **papra is deployed and is therefore NOT fixed** — §6.1.
+
+### 5.1 `gramps-web`
+
+Mounted `/app/data`, `/app/media`, `/tmp`. **`/app/data` appears nowhere in the image's environment**
+— the application never writes it. Now mounts the eight paths the image itself names, matching
+upstream's reference compose:
+
+| volume | path | what lives there |
+|---|---|---|
+| `gramps_users` | `/app/users` | `GRAMPSWEB_USER_DB_URI` — the accounts database |
+| `gramps_db` | `/root/.gramps/grampsdb` | `GRAMPS_DATABASE_PATH` — **the family tree** |
+| `gramps_index` | `/app/indexdir` | `GRAMPSWEB_SEARCH_INDEX_DB_URI` |
+| `gramps_media` | `/app/media` | `GRAMPSWEB_MEDIA_BASE_DIR` (was already correct) |
+| `gramps_thumb_cache` · `gramps_cache` · `gramps_secret` · `gramps_tmp` | | caches, exports, secret |
+
+**Proof — `proofs/gramps-web/survive-gramps-web.json`.** Deploy → exercise → `docker compose down`
+(no `-v`; that is a redeploy, `down --volumes` is the uninstall path) → `up -d` → re-fingerprint by
+sha256 **and inode**:
+
+```
+gramps-web   SURVIVES   before=5 after=5 survived=4 changed=1 lost=0
+  survived (byte-identical, SAME INODE):
+    /app/users::users.sqlite                                      <- the accounts database
+    /root/.gramps/grampsdb::<uuid>/database.txt                   <- THE FAMILY TREE
+    /root/.gramps/grampsdb::<uuid>/name.txt
+    /app/thumbnail_cache::<hash>
+  changed in place: /app/cache::request_cache/<hash>              <- a request cache, expected
+```
+
+### 5.2 `wishlist`
+
+Mounted `wishlist_data:/data` — again a path the application never writes. The image declares
+`VOLUME /usr/src/app/data` and `VOLUME /usr/src/app/uploads` (`Config.Volumes`), and upstream's own
+compose mounts exactly those two, so `prod.db` was landing in the **anonymous** volume docker
+creates for an image `VOLUME` directive: invisible to `ResolveDockerVolumeNames`, therefore never
+backed up, and orphaned by `down` + `up`. Now mounts both real paths.
+
+**Proof — `proofs/wishlist/survive-wishlist-content.json`.**
+
+```
+before redeploy:  prod.db  inode=47151  size=307200  sha256=f35df23b…
+after  redeploy:  prod.db  inode=47151  size=307200  sha256=f35df23b…
+same_inode=true   verdict: SURVIVES
+```
+
+Same file object, byte-identical content.
+
+> **A correction, and the limit of this proof.** The generic prover (`state/survive2.py`) first
+> reported `DATA-LOST` for wishlist. That was the prover, not the app: its rule counts any change
+> in bytes as a loss, and cannot separate "the app modified its own database on boot" (fine —
+> vaultwarden's SQLite WAL does exactly that) from "the app recreated it" (data gone). The focused
+> check settles it on inode. **And the limit:** the seeded content step 404'd — the signup endpoint
+> was a guess and wrong — so this is a **file-level** proof, not a user-row-level one. Byte-identical
+> content means nothing in the database was lost, but no row was independently confirmed present
+> beforehand.
+
+### 5.3 Both fixes re-checked with the gate that convicted them
+
+The strongest available confirmation is the same instrument reaching the opposite verdict, with its
+own two-way self-test green on both runs. `proofs/fixed-check/`:
+
+```
+self-testing the prober (both directions)…
+  prober flags the R-156 signature and clears a correct template — trustworthy
+gramps-web           CLEAN
+wishlist             CLEAN
+2 clean · 0 broken · 0 undetermined (of 2 in scope)
+volume-persistence gate OK          rc=0
+```
+
+Before the fixes the same gate reported both BROKEN (`state/verify.log`).
+
+### 5.4 papra — the fix is proven, and deliberately not applied
+
+Run in the scratch guest only, on a temporary copy of the template
+(`proofs/_papra-fix-proof/papra-fix-proof.json`). **A real account was created through papra's own
+API in both legs** (`sign-up -> HTTP/1.1 200 OK`), so real user data was written to the database
+before each redeploy:
+
+| leg | `db.sqlite` before | after | |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **current** `papra_data:/app/data` | `1e9b695a…` | `5d179bf1…` | **different — the account is gone** |
+| **fixed** `papra_data:/app/app-data` | `9dd5cf37…` | `9dd5cf37…` | **byte-identical — it survives** |
+
+An incidental confirmation from the same run: under the fixed template `/app/data` reports
+`present: false`. **The directory does not exist in the papra image at all** — it existed only
+because the template mounted a volume there. So the volume was not merely unwritable; it was
+mounted at a path the application has no concept of.
+
+**Limit of this proof:** the document-upload step did not complete (the follow-up
+`/api/organizations` call returned `auth.unauthorized` — a session-cookie handling problem in the
+harness, not in papra), so the user data verified is the account, not an uploaded document.
+
+**This fix is not committed.** §6.1.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Referred to the operator — not decided here
+
+### 6.1 papra is deployed. Its fix would strand the data it is meant to protect.
+
+**The fix is prepared and deliberately NOT committed.**
+
+```diff
+       volumes:
+-      - papra_data:/app/data
++      - papra_data:/app/app-data
+```
+
+**Why it is a strand risk.** The volume *name* is unchanged, so no volume is orphaned — but the
+mount target changes, which makes `docker compose up -d` **recreate the container**, and the
+container's writable layer is where papra's documents and database currently live. Applying this to
+a running papra destroys exactly the data the change exists to protect.
+
+**The honest framing, both halves.** That data is already living on borrowed time: an image bump, a
+`RedeployFromEnv`, a restore, or any other container recreation destroys it just the same, and no
+backup has ever contained it. But the fix is what *schedules* the loss, on a date the customer does
+not choose. Scaling that decision down is not this session's call.
+
+Note that pushing the template alone destroys nothing: the controller's git-sync updates the two
+template files and does **not** restart the stack (`CLAUDE.md`, deploy contract). The change would
+take effect at the next deploy. It is still an armed change, which is why it is held.
+
+**Which box — determined as far as the fences allow, and no further.**
+
+| checked | result |
+|---|---|
+| hub `/apps` (read-only) | **Papra: 1 deployment**, 218 MB avg / 250 MB P95 — it is live somewhere |
+| `demo-felhom` guest 9201 | **not there** — `docker ps -a` shows no papra container, `docker volume ls` no papra volume |
+| hub `/configs` | boxes currently reporting: `c10-soak`, `demo-felhom`, `demo-hp` (`david` —, `drill-r50` BLOCKED, `peti-felhom` DOWN, `sess-f` DOWN) |
+| hub `/hosts/<id>` and `/apps/papra` | neither page attributes a deployment to a host |
+
+So it is on **`c10-soak`** or **`demo-hp`**, both of which live on demo-hp hardware that this
+session is fenced from. `c10-soak` is the likelier of the two and would make this moot: it is
+Campaign 10's own rig, its hub customer record reads *"Campaign 10 two-storage soak (SCRATCH -
+delete at teardown)"*, and papra was deployed on it **to find R-156 in the first place** — so the
+"customer data" would be the campaign's own canary. **That is a guess, and it is labelled as one.**
+One `docker ps` on either box settles it, and the other session owns both.
+
+**What is asked:** confirm which box, and then either (a) it is `c10-soak` → push the fix, nothing
+of value is lost, or (b) it is a demo box someone cares about → copy `/app/app-data` out of the
+running container first (`docker cp papra:/app/app-data <dest>`), then push, then copy back into
+the new volume. **No migration is shipped here** — §5 of the brief, and inventing one is how this
+class of defect gets worse.
+
+
+> ### 6.1a — UPDATE at teardown: the deployment disappeared mid-session
+>
+> Between the start of this run and its teardown, the hub's `/configs` and `/hosts` both **stopped
+> listing `c10-soak`** — the other session tore Campaign 10's rig down while this work was in
+> flight (its teardown was owed). In the same interval the hub's `/apps` went from 10 deployed apps
+> to 6, and the four that disappeared are **papra, grafana, homebox and rallly** — precisely the
+> four apps Campaign 10's audit §A4 names as its discriminator set. papra's single deployment was
+> therefore on `c10-soak`, as §6.1 suspected, and it is gone.
+>
+> **The fix is still not applied, deliberately.** The evidence is strong but it is *absence*
+> evidence — papra no longer appearing in aggregated telemetry is not the same as a positive
+> observation that no box runs it, and this project's standing rule 3 exists for exactly that
+> distinction. The one box I cannot check is `demo-hp`, which is fenced this session; the hub says
+> it is reporting normally and shows no papra, but that is the same absence argument one level down.
+>
+> The asymmetry decides it: applying the fix while a papra instance does exist destroys its
+> documents at the next redeploy and is irreversible; leaving it is a one-line change the operator
+> can push in seconds. **So it is left.**
+>
+> **What settles it:** `ssh demo-hp "pct exec 9201 -- docker ps -a --filter name=papra"` — one
+> command, on the box this session may not touch. If it returns nothing, apply the diff in §6.1;
+> there is then no strand risk and papra joins gramps-web and wishlist as an ordinary fix.
+
+### 6.2 Nothing else needed a ruling
+
+Both other BROKEN apps have an unambiguous correct path — each confirmed by **two independent
+sources**, never inferred — and neither is deployed anywhere in the fleet, so both were fixed
+outright (§5). No app was left BROKEN for want of a decision, and no UNDETERMINED app was touched.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Part 4 — the gate
+
+### 7.1 Where catalog gates live, and what runs them
+
+They live in `app-catalog-felhom.eu/scripts/` as dependency-free Python that exits non-zero on
+violation, and **nothing automated runs them.** There is no CI in this repo — no `.gitea/workflows`,
+no `.github`, no drone/woodpecker config; the only YAML outside `templates/` is generated customer
+output. Each gate is invoked by whoever edits the catalog, and `CLAUDE.md` says when.
+
+That is the honest description, and it is stated rather than glossed because this project's record
+on the point is unambiguous: R-29 has three orphaned gates and one enforced one, and the enforced
+one is the only one that has ever stopped anything. **This gate is at the same enforcement level as
+its two siblings — convention, not CI.** What would raise it is named in §8 as a proposed register
+entry; building it would mean touching the controller's sync path, which is out of scope here
+(§5 fences) and would need a decision about failing a customer's template sync.
+
+The gate could be built here, so it was. It did not have to wait for `felhom.eu`.
+
+### 7.2 Why the gate has to be a runtime check — measured, not assumed
+
+A static audit of all 53 composes — every declared top-level volume attached to a service, no
+anonymous mounts, no host binds outside the felhom roots — reports the catalog **completely clean**.
+The single hit is `homepage`'s deliberate read-only `/var/run/docker.sock`.
+
+**It reports papra clean too.** papra's compose is well-formed: it declares `papra_data` and mounts
+it at `/app/data`. Nothing in the file is wrong. What is wrong is only observable at runtime.
+
+So a static gate would have been a gate that could never have caught the defect it was written for —
+coverage that isn't. `scripts/check-volume-persistence.py` deploys, exercises, and measures.
+
+### 7.3 What it refuses
+
+**Exit 1 — REFUSED, not a warning:**
+
+- DATA in a container's writable layer (never persisted, never backed up);
+- an app-data mount the app's own uid cannot write (R-156's second leg);
+- data in an **anonymous** volume (never backed up, orphaned by a redeploy);
+- a database-signature file in the writable layer whose bytes **differ** from the image's copy.
+
+**Exit 2 — UNDETERMINED, and explicitly *not* a clean bill of health:** a container that never
+reached running/healthy; nothing written anywhere; a suspect that could not be adjudicated; or —
+load-bearing — **the prober failing its own two-way canary**, in which case the gate refuses to
+report any verdict at all rather than issue a false all-clear.
+
+**Exit 0** only when every app in scope is CLEAN.
+
+### 7.4 The test through the path that actually invokes it
+
+`scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py` — **31 tests, no Docker** (the prober is injected).
+They drive **`check()`, the function `__main__` calls**, not just the verdict logic: a gate whose
+decision logic is tested but whose entry point is not has shipped inert in this project before
+(the seam-wiring rule, four recorded instances).
+
+Covered at the entry point: one broken app ⇒ **rc 1** and the app is named; all clean ⇒ rc 0;
+undetermined ⇒ **rc 2, never rc 0**; broken outranks undetermined; out-of-circulation apps skipped
+and reported; **a prober that flags nothing ⇒ rc 2**; **a prober that flags everything ⇒ rc 2**.
+
+Every rule was red-proofed by breaking it and confirming the suite goes red:
+
+| break | suite |
+|---|---|
+| score `C` entries as data again (the calibre-web false positive) | **RED** |
+| revert the trailing-slash noise normalisation (the crafty false positive) | **RED** |
+| fold "wrote nothing" into CLEAN | **RED** |
+| warn instead of refuse (rc 0 on broken) | **RED** |
+| drop the writable-layer leg (the papra signature) | **RED** |
+| let an unresolved suspect fall through to CLEAN | **RED** |
+| drop the `base64:` prefix | **RED** |
+| *(the deleted all-children-noise rule)* | **GREEN — which is why it was deleted** |
+
+Registered in `CLAUDE.md` (conventions) and `REUSE.md` (the map), in the same commit.

+## 8. Findings for later filing — PROPOSED TEXT, NOT FILED
+
+The register is `felhom.eu/documentation/backlog/{ROADMAP,OPEN-ITEMS}.md`, and `felhom.eu` is
+fenced this session. These are drafts for one session to file, in one place.
+
+**Register grep before proposing** (read-only, `ROADMAP.md` + `OPEN-ITEMS.md`):
+`wishlist` -> 1 hit, R-41's deployability gate, unrelated · `gramps` -> 0 · `anonymous` -> 2 hits,
+both about the golden bake, unrelated · `ResolveDockerVolumeNames` -> 0 · `DumpAppVolumes` -> 0 ·
+`writable layer` -> 0 · `check-volume-persistence` -> 0. **Highest filed: R-155.** So these start
+at **R-158**.
+
+### 8.0 First, a process finding — R-156 and R-157 are themselves unfiled
+
+`grep -c "R-156\|R-157"` over both register files returns **0 / 0**. They exist only inside
+`audits/CAMPAIGN-10-two-storage-soak-2026-07-31.md`. This is the identical failure the brief cites
+for R-154/R-155 — *"minted in a spike doc and never carried across"* — recurring immediately, on
+the very finding this session was commissioned to act on. **R-156 is the reason this work happened
+and it is not in the register.** Whoever files the entries below should carry R-156 and R-157
+across at the same time.
+
+**And it happened again, to this document, while it was being written.** The first draft of this
+section numbered its proposals R-158…R-161 on the strength of a register grep showing R-155 as the
+highest filed. Mid-session the parallel session pushed
+`audits/SPIKE-recovery-unit-space-2026-08-02.md` and `audits/CAMPAIGN-10-closeout-2026-08-02.md`,
+both of which **use R-158** for an unrelated finding (recovery-unit space ceiling on mp1) — and
+neither adds it to `ROADMAP.md` or `OPEN-ITEMS.md`, which still stop at R-155. So a grep of the
+register was true when it was run and stale within hours, and two sessions minted the same number
+for different findings on the same day.
+
+These proposals are therefore renumbered **R-159…R-162**, and the number to claim should be taken
+at filing time, not at drafting time. The register being the only source of truth is precisely what
+is not happening: **R-156, R-157 and R-158 are all live in audit documents and none of them is
+filed.**
+
+### R-159 — wishlist's data lands in an ANONYMOUS volume: never backed up, orphaned by a redeploy
+
+**FIXED HERE** (`templates/wishlist/docker-compose.yml`); filed to record the class.
+
+The image declares `VOLUME /usr/src/app/data` and `VOLUME /usr/src/app/uploads`
+(`docker image inspect ghcr.io/cmintey/wishlist:v0.66.0` -> `Config.Volumes`). The template mounted
+`wishlist_data:/data` — **a path the application never writes**. So `prod.db` went into the
+anonymous volume docker creates for an image `VOLUME` directive.
+
+**Why this is worse than an ordinary miss: it survives a restart.** `ResolveDockerVolumeNames`
+(`felhom-controller/internal/appbackup/appdata.go`) returns `<project>_<name>` only for volumes
+**declared in the compose file**, so `DumpAppVolumes` never sees an anonymous one — and
+`compose down` + `up` orphans it and mounts a fresh empty one. Meanwhile `wishlist_data` was tarred
+nightly as an empty directory. A store that survives a restart, loses on redeploy, and is never in
+a backup is harder to notice than papra's, because casual testing finds nothing wrong.
+
+**The class, not just the app:** any image `VOLUME` directive at a path the template does not
+explicitly mount creates unbacked-up storage silently. **`immich-server` has one today** at `/data`
+(`Config.Volumes = {"/data":{}}`) — empty when measured, so nothing is at risk now, but anything
+immich ever writes there is invisible to backup. Suggested standing rule for `REUSE.md`: *a template
+must mount every path in its image's `Config.Volumes`, or state why not.* Checkable statically only
+if the image is pulled, which is why it lives in the runtime gate.
+
+### R-160 — gramps-web persisted three paths and wrote to none of them
+
+**FIXED HERE** (`templates/gramps-web/docker-compose.yml`).
+
+The template mounted `/app/data`, `/app/media` and `/tmp`; **`/app/data` appears nowhere in the
+image's environment** — the application never writes it. Its accounts database
+(`GRAMPSWEB_USER_DB_URI=sqlite:////app/users/users.sqlite`) and **its family tree**
+(`GRAMPS_DATABASE_PATH=/root/.gramps/grampsdb`) both landed in the container's writable layer.
+Upstream's reference compose persists **eight** paths; this template persisted three, one a phantom.
+
+Severity above papra's: papra loses documents a customer uploaded, which they may still hold
+elsewhere. gramps-web loses the family tree — the artefact the customer *built inside the app*, of
+which no other copy exists by construction.
+
+### R-161 — the gate exists, and nothing automated runs it
+
+The check R-156 asks for now exists (`scripts/check-volume-persistence.py`, §7). Its enforcement
+level is **convention**: the catalog repo has no CI of any kind (`.gitea/workflows`, `.github`,
+drone/woodpecker — none), so like its two sibling gates it runs when a person runs it.
+
+This project's own record says that is not enough: R-29 has three orphaned gates and one enforced
+one, and the enforced one is the only one that has ever stopped anything. Two directions, neither
+buildable from this repo:
+
+1. **CI in the catalog repo** — a Gitea Actions runner. Nothing exists to build on today.
+2. **Controller-side at sync** — the controller already validates `.felhom.yml` at template load
+   (`internal/stacks/metadata.go:336-358`) and a persistence assertion could ride the same choke
+   point. But that needs a runtime probe on a customer box, and a decision about what a failing
+   sync should do to a customer's working app. **Cross-repo, and a design question, not a task.**
+
+Interim position, recorded in `CLAUDE.md`: run it when a template's `volumes:` block or image tag
+changes, and at the start of every catalog campaign.
+
+### R-162 — `docker diff` is the only witness, and its failure mode is quiet
+
+A limitation, not a defect. The gate's power comes from `docker diff` excluding mounted paths, which
+makes "in the writable layer" mechanically decidable — an implementation detail of the overlay
+storage driver. On a driver where `docker diff` is unsupported or lies, the gate degrades to the
+mount-occupancy and writability legs and would not say so. The canary self-test *would* catch it
+(the broken canary would stop reporting BROKEN, and the gate would then refuse to report at all),
+so it fails closed — but the message it prints would blame the prober rather than the driver.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Teardown — all three layers
+
+Per `felhom.eu/documentation/PROMPT-TEMPLATE.md` §13. Layer 3 is the one that has been missed every
+time (`drill-r50`, `sess-c`, `sess-d`), so it is stated explicitly rather than implied.
+
+### Layer 1 — the machine
+
+**DONE.** `pct stop 9301 && pct destroy 9301 --purge` → `Logical volume "vm-9301-disk-0"
+successfully removed` / `purging CT 9301 from related configurations` / rc=0. Verified after:
+`pct list` shows only 9201, and `lvs | grep 9301` returns nothing. Evidence: `state/teardown.txt`.
+
+### Layer 2 — the host
+
+`pvesm status` before and after, and the space actually returned.
+
+| | `local-lvm` available (KiB) | used |
+|---|---|---|
+| before the run began | 258 702 410 | 29.27 % |
+| end of run, before teardown | 169 968 909 | 53.53 % |
+| **after teardown** | **258 702 410** | **29.27 %** |
+
+**The space returned exactly to the pre-run baseline** — 258 702 410 KiB, identical to the figure
+recorded before the guest was created. `local` is unchanged at 26.00 %. Full before/after:
+`state/teardown.txt`.
+
+The guest's 120 G volume was thin-provisioned on an **over-subscribed** pool (`pct create` warned:
+sum of thin volume sizes 402 G against a 348 G pool), which is why a disk watchdog ran throughout
+(`state/diskwatch.log`) and why the space actually returning is measured rather than assumed.
+
+### Layer 3 — the hub
+
+**Nothing to remove: this run created no hub record of any kind, by design.**
+
+That is an absence of *creation*, not an absence of checking. The scratch guest ran **no
+felhom-controller** and was never enrolled (§1), precisely so no customer or appliance record could
+exist to orphan. The hub was touched **read-only** throughout — `/apps`, `/apps/papra`, `/configs`,
+`/hosts`, `/hosts/<id>`, over the ClusterIP with Basic auth — to answer "is papra deployed
+anywhere?" (§6.1).
+
+Confirmed after teardown against the live hub: `/configs` contains no entry for this run
+(`catalog-persist` / `9301`: absent), and `/hosts` lists only `demo-felhom-8363b5`,
+`demo-hp-bb76ea`, `drill-r50-0a4f9a`, `sess-f-2670b5`. The list is **two shorter** than at the
+start of the run — `c10-soak` was removed by the other session mid-run, not by this one (§6.1a).
+
+The scratch host paths the gate creates for `${HDD_PATH}` / `${IMPORT_PATH}` (`/srv/felhom-gate/…`)
+and the `felhom-volgate-canary:1` image existed only inside the guest, so both go with layer 1.
+
+---
+
+## 10. What did not happen, and why
+
+- **papra was not fixed.** It is deployed, and the fix would destroy the data it protects (§6.1).
+  Prepared, proven, held. The brief says stop rather than ship a migration; no migration was written.
+- **No data migration of any kind was shipped**, for papra or anything else.
+- **No UNDETERMINED app was fixed.** Seven remain undecided (§4.2) and none was nudged toward CLEAN
+  to tidy the table. Four need a deeper exercise than a first-boot HTTP request (a completed setup
+  wizard, a posted paste, a real import); three could not be started at all.
+- **`glance` was not fixed** even though its defect is understood (it crash-loops for want of a
+  seeded `/app/config/glance.yml`). It is a deployability defect, not a persistence one, already
+  recorded as pre-existing in Campaign 7 §6.2 — outside this brief's scope.
+- **`plant-it` was not touched.** Its image does not resolve; it is `lifecycle: abandoned` for
+  exactly that reason.
+- **Nothing outside the catalog templates was changed.** The controller-side observations
+  (`ResolveDockerVolumeNames` cannot see anonymous volumes; `ParseComposeClassifiableBinds` cannot
+  see named volumes at all) are findings for §8, not edits.
+- **No commit to `felhom.eu`, no register edit, nothing on `demo-hp`.** The other session owns all
+  three. Every R-number in §8 is proposed text.
+- **No hub-side state was created.** The hub was read only — `/apps`, `/configs`, `/hosts`,
+  `/apps/papra` — via the ClusterIP with Basic auth. Nothing to clean up, so nothing recorded as a
+  command (R-131's four orphans).
+- **Guest 9201 on `demo-felhom` was read, not touched** — `docker ps -a` and `docker volume ls`,
+  to establish that papra is not deployed there.
+- **`claude-in-chrome` was not used** — unavailable on DooPlex. Every observation is endpoint-level
+  or filesystem-level, and each is named where it is used.
+- **No secret value was written anywhere.** The probe records env var KEYS only; generated
+  credentials are minted per-run and discarded with the container.

+"""R-156 fix proof for papra — the BEFORE/AFTER pair, on real user data.
+
+Not "the volume exists afterwards" — that is exactly the confusion R-156 is made of. The claim
+under test is: a document a real user uploaded is still there after `docker compose down` + `up -d`.
+
+Leg A  CURRENT template (`papra_data:/app/data`)     — expected: the data is DESTROYED
+Leg B  FIXED   template (`papra_data:/app/app-data`) — expected: the data SURVIVES, byte-identical
+
+The account and the document are created through papra's own HTTP API, never by writing into a
+volume by hand: R-156's own evidence shows a root-written canary making an empty volume read as
+populated. Data is read back with `docker cp`, which works identically whether it sits in a volume
+or in the writable layer, so both legs are measured the same way.
+
+No password or session token is ever printed or written to the evidence file.

+`check-volume-persistence.py` answers *where did the data land*. This answers *is it still there

+  3. `docker compose down` — NO `-v`. That is a redeploy; `down --volumes` is the UNINSTALL path

+WHY THIS FILE EXISTS (operator ruling, 2026-08-02 — R-161).
+
+The volume-persistence gate was built because papra's backup completed, verified, and contained an
+empty directory. The obvious enforcement points were both rejected, each for a measured reason:
+
+  - **Controller-side, at template load: rejected because it would PASS on the defect it exists to
+    catch.** A check at load time can only read the file, and papra's compose is well-formed — a
+    static audit of all 53 templates reports the catalog clean, papra included. The property is only
+    decidable at runtime (see `check-volume-persistence.py`'s header).
+  - **CI: rejected for now** — neither repo has any CI to build on, and there are no users yet.
+
+What was chosen instead is the shape that demonstrably works in this project. Of every gate written
+here, **the only ones that ever get run are the ones with a single entry point named in a CLAUDE.md**:
+`felhom.eu/scripts/site_gates.py` is run; R-29's three orphaned gates are named nowhere and have
+stopped nothing. So this copies that shape rather than adding a fourth gate nobody invokes. It is
+mandated in `CLAUDE.md` the way `site_gates.py` is.
+
+**R-161 stays OPEN at reduced scope:** this is convention, run by a person. Real automatic
+enforcement is owed when a second person touches templates.
+
+EXIT CODES. Each gate returns 0 clean / 1 convicted / 2 inconclusive. This runner exits **non-zero if
+any gate is non-zero**, and reports 2 distinctly as INCONCLUSIVE — an undetermined result is never a
+pass (an app that wrote nothing has not been shown correct; a throttled registry has not shown an
+image alive), but it is also not a conviction, and the operator reading the summary needs to know
+which they have.
+
+SCOPE. With app names, every gate that accepts scoping is scoped to them — that is the normal
+after-a-template-change run and it is fast. With no names the runtime gate deploys **every** template,
+which takes minutes per app and **belongs on a scratch host, never a customer box** (see CLAUDE.md).

+"""check-image-resolvable.py — catalog gate: every pinned image must still EXIST upstream.
+
+The companion to `check-image-pins.py`, which is purely syntactic: it proves a template pins a
+concrete tag, never that the tag is still there. That gap is how `plant-it` and `wanderer` sat behind
+a working "Telepítés" button for months with images that did not resolve at all — the templates were
+perfectly well-formed and pointed at nothing (Campaign 7, §6.2). **Silent rot is the real risk**
+(ROADMAP R-41): an upstream rename, a repo split, or a pruned tag breaks a template without touching
+this repo, so nothing in a change-triggered gate would ever notice.
+
+This resolves each unique `image:` pin against its registry with
+`docker manifest inspect <ref>` and exits non-zero listing everything that did not resolve.

+    python3 scripts/check-image-resolvable.py wanderer …   # only these app dirs
+
+THE TRAP THIS SCRIPT IS BUILT AROUND: gate on EACH `docker manifest inspect`'s OWN exit code, one
+image at a time. Never pipe the run through anything that summarises (`| grep`, `| tee`, `&&` chains,
+a wrapping shell) and then read the exit code of THAT — you get the pipeline's status, which is the
+last element's, and unresolvable images sail straight through reporting success. This is the same
+class of defect as the `validate-answer` trap in the ISO tooling (exits 0 on failure, so the build
+gates on its OUTPUT text instead).
+
+Requires network + a working `docker`. It is therefore a PERIODIC/manual gate, not a pre-commit one
+— run it at the start of every catalog campaign, and before any publish train that vouches the
+catalog. Unit tests inject `resolver` and never touch the network.

+"""check-volume-persistence.py — catalog gate: the folder a template preserves must be the

+
+The third catalog gate, and the only RUNTIME one. Its two siblings are static:
+`check-image-pins.py` proves a template names a concrete tag, `check-image-resolvable.py` proves
+that tag still exists. Neither can see where an app puts its data, and **neither can any static
+check** — that was measured, not assumed: over all 53 templates a static audit of the compose
+files (declared volumes attached, no anonymous mounts, no stray host binds) reports the catalog
+completely clean, and it reports **papra** clean too. papra's compose is well-formed. It mounts
+`papra_data` at `/app/data`. The application writes its database to `/app/app-data/db/db.sqlite`,
+in the container's writable layer, and cannot write to `/app/data` at all.
+
+The consequence (R-156, Campaign 10): the app runs, the healthcheck is green, the tier-1/tier-2
+backup completes and verifies — and it contains an empty directory. `DumpAppVolumes`
+(felhom-controller `internal/backup/backup.go:543`) tars the volume, and the volume holds nothing.
+A backup that fails loudly gets fixed; a backup that succeeds while holding nothing is discovered
+when someone needs it.
+
+    python3 scripts/check-volume-persistence.py             # every AVAILABLE app
+    python3 scripts/check-volume-persistence.py --all       # include hidden/abandoned apps
+    python3 scripts/check-volume-persistence.py papra …     # only these app dirs
+
+Exit codes:  0 every app in scope CLEAN · 1 at least one BROKEN (the gate REFUSES) ·
+             2 nothing could be decided / the prober failed its own self-test.
+
+Requires Docker, network, and several minutes per app, so it is a PERIODIC gate like
+`check-image-resolvable.py` — run it when a template's `volumes:` block or image tag changes, and
+at the start of every catalog campaign. `classify()` is pure and unit-tested with no Docker
+(`scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py`).
+
+WHY THE PROBER SELF-TESTS ON EVERY RUN. A detector that flags nothing is worse than no detector:
+it converts an unexamined catalog into a documented-clean one. So before this gate is allowed to
+report anything, it runs two synthetic canary templates through the *same* prober — one built to
+the exact R-156 signature, one built to write correctly into its volume — and refuses to issue a
+verdict unless it calls the first BROKEN and the second CLEAN. A green run therefore always
+carries a live proof that the instrument discriminates.
+
+NO `docker exec` ANYWHERE. Campaign 7 §1.1 recorded that `docker exec` writes its OCI error to
+STDOUT, so a missing binary read as present and the whole healthcheck audit reported every app
+honest. Every observation here comes from `docker inspect`, `docker diff`, `/proc` and the host
+filesystem, so a distroless or shell-less image is observed exactly like any other.
