+## Docs + live validation — no version bump (2026-06-08)
+
+### Changed
+- **Reflowed `CLAUDE.md`** — removed hard mid-paragraph line wraps (prose, list items, blockquotes now single-line, soft-wrapped); code blocks and tables untouched; rendered output unchanged.
+- **Unified the REPORT/CHANGELOG convention** in `CLAUDE.md`: `CHANGELOG.md` is the cumulative log (newest on top); `REPORT.md` is overwritten with the most-recent implementation/validation only. Added an explicit **no-secrets** rule (never write tokens/passwords/keys into committed files; reference them as stored out-of-band).
+
+### Added
+- **`REPORT.md`** rewritten for the live `--selftest=task` validation on the demo host (`demo-felhom`): snapshot → rollback → delete-snapshot on guest 9999, each polled to `exitstatus=OK` under the `felhom-agent@pve!agent` privsep token (UPIDs name the token actor — privsep path genuinely exercised); 16-privilege `FelhomAgent` role + both user & token ACLs confirmed; `--selftest=read` clean. Closes the slice-1 "mutating ops unit-tested only" gap; `WaitTask` async foundation validated live → **slice 4 unblocked**. (Token secret stored out-of-band, not in the repo.)

-## Task: slice-3 validation follow-ups — v0.3.1
+## Outcome
 
-Small fixes surfaced during slice-3 validation (agent half). Pushed to `main`; build/vet/test
-green locally (go1.26) and on the build server.
+**`--selftest=task` PASSED live against the demo Proxmox host.** The slice-1 gap — slice-1 mutating ops + `WaitTask` were unit-tested only, never run against a live host — is **closed**. The shared async `WaitTask` foundation (UPID poll → assert `exitstatus == "OK"`) is now validated live. **Slice 4 (reconcile) is unblocked.**
 
-### §1 — `--selftest` usage string
-`selftestFlag.Set`'s error now reads `(want read|task|hub)` (was missing `hub`, which became a
-valid mode in slice 3). Cosmetic.
+## What ran
 
-### §2 — collector keeps run-status on a `GuestConfig` failure
-`internal/hub/collect.go` `collectGuests`: a per-guest `GuestConfig` error no longer forces
-`status="unknown"`. The run-status from `ListLXC` is **preserved** (only `spec` is dropped — that's
-the only thing actually unknown). An *empty* status is still normalized to `unknown`, so the wire
-value is always `running|stopped|unknown` (matches the hub handler's empty→unknown defaulting).
-Test renamed `TestCollect_GuestConfigFailureKeepsStatusOmitsSpec`, now asserting the preserved
-`running` status **and** nil spec (not a hollow `!= "unknown"` check).
+Executed the live-validation runbook end-to-end on node `demo-felhom` (`https://192.168.0.162:8006`, PVE 9.2.x; `root@pam` via SSH alias `felhom-pve` for provisioning, agent run from the build server `192.168.0.180` on go1.26).
 
-### §4 — cross-repo contract golden fixture (agent half)
-The host-report shape lives in two repos with nothing failing on drift (the hub ignores unknown
-fields). Locked it with a golden sample:
-- `internal/hub/testdata/host-report.golden.json` — a populated report (host block, two guests:
-  one `running` with `spec`, one `stopped`; `cloudflared`; the four empty collections + `audit_tail`
-  as `[]`).
-- `TestHostReport_ContractMatchesGolden` — marshals a constructed `HostReport`, unmarshals the
-  golden, and compares **field-name key sets** at top level + `host` + `guests[0]`. A renamed/added/
-  removed json tag fails it.
+1. **Provisioned the operator-tier token (Part A).** Created the `FelhomAgent` role with the full **16 privileges**, the `felhom-agent@pve` user, and a `--privsep 1` token `felhom-agent@pve!agent`. Granted the role on **both** the user **and** the token (the privsep intersection gotcha) — verified two ACL rows at `/`.
+2. **Scratch guest (Part B).** Created stopped LXC **9999** (`felhom-selftest-scratch`), rootfs on `local-lvm` (lvmthin → snapshot-capable). Kept stopped for deterministic rollback. No stale `felhom-selftest` snapshot present.
+3. **Config + TLS (Part C).** Confirmed the demo host's current leaf-cert SHA-256 fingerprint still matches the pinned value (`BA:7C:99:7D:45:D0…`). Built the agent (v0.3.1) on the build server.
+4. **Read-only gate (Part D).** `--selftest=read` clean with the new token: PVE 9.2.2, node online, guest 9999 visible, storages listed.
+5. **Live mutating run (Part E).** `--selftest=task -vmid 9999` — snapshot → rollback → delete-snapshot, each returning a real UPID that `WaitTask` polled to `exitstatus=OK`.
 
-**Caveat (called out):** this is a *duplicated* contract — the file must stay **byte-identical**
-with `felhom-hub`'s `hub/internal/api/testdata/host-report.golden.json`. JSON can't carry a comment,
-so the mandatory "keep byte-identical" note lives in the test file's doc comment in both repos
-instead of a JSON header. When slices 5/6 add real `storage_targets`/`backups` fields, revisit
-promoting this to a shared Go types module (the proper fix).
+## Evidence
 
-### Not touched (confirmed)
-The daemon's proxmox client timeout is already bounded: `proxmox.NewClient` defaults `HTTPTimeout`
-to 30s when zero, and `newProxmoxClient` leaves it zero. No change (was a "confirm" item).
+- **`exitstatus=OK`** on all three ops (a `200` on the POST is explicitly *not* treated as success — the `exitstatus` assertion is the point of the run).
+- The task **UPIDs name the token actor** (`…:vzsnapshot:9999:felhom-agent@pve!agent:`, likewise `vzrollback` / `vzdelsnapshot`) — confirming the privsep token path was genuinely exercised, no privilege drift.
+- **Role:** all 16 privileges present (`VM.Snapshot`, `VM.Snapshot.Rollback`, `VM.Backup`, the `VM.Config.*` set, `VM.PowerMgmt`, `VM.Allocate/Audit`, `Datastore.*`, `Sys.Audit`, `SDN.Use`).
+- **ACLs:** both `-user felhom-agent@pve` and `-token felhom-agent@pve!agent` carry `FelhomAgent` at `/`.
+- **Post-state (Part F):** `felhom-selftest` snapshot created then cleaned (only `current` remains); guest left **stopped**, as started.
 
-### Verification
-`go build/vet/test ./...` green locally (go1.26) and on the build server (go1.26). Version 0.3.0 → 0.3.1.
+## Scope / not covered (by design)
 
-### Repo state
-Branch: `main` only. Dep unchanged (`golang.org/x/crypto v0.52.0`).
+- **Not validated live:** `Start`/`Stop`/`SetConfig` (reversible, low-risk; `SetConfig` is used by reconcile — an optional selftest extension could add them), `Vzdump` (already confirmed live in the phase1-2 spike), and `RestoreLXC` / provision-by-restore (deferred until the golden base image exists, ~slice 7).
+- The run used a **stopped** guest deliberately, to keep rollback deterministic (LXC snapshots carry no running-memory state; rollback of a running CT may error or stop the guest). Characterizing running-guest rollback is optional follow-up intel, not a slice-4 blocker.
+
+## Credentials
+
+The standing `FelhomAgent` operator token (`felhom-agent@pve!agent`) provisioned here is the one slice 4+ consumes — **not deleted**. Its secret is **stored out-of-band**, supplied to the agent via `FELHOM_AGENT_PROXMOX_TOKEN`; it is **not persisted to the repo** (the on-disk config holds only a placeholder). Scratch guest 9999 is retained (stopped) as the standing selftest target.
