+## Unreleased — „Reboot guest" from the hub (D65 = A): `reboot_guest` joins the agent's closed list
+
+- **D65 = A (operator ruling 2026-10-29 15:50; felhom.eu `04` §6.1, `03`).** The agent's closed operator-action list is
+  now `restart_controller` and `reboot_guest` (arg: the vmid). No signature: a reboot destroys nothing. The act is the
+  existing guest-reboot path (`pct reboot <vmid>` of THAT guest over the existing exact grant) — never the host.
+- **Guards** (each refuses with the reason; nothing is called, no record is written): a guest this agent did not
+  provision, not running, locked, or parked; the host-wide heavy-operation gate held (a backup of any tier the agent
+  runs, a restore test, an OS step — the reboot HOLDS the gate until the guest is up again); `jobBlocker` (an agent
+  backup job, a controller swap, a drive or NAS job, an escrow ceremony, a vzdump of the guest); the CONTROLLER busy —
+  its `data/ctl/busy` file (a backup, a restore, an off-site run, an app update), fresh within 90 s; a stale file is a
+  controller that stopped writing, not a busy one; any read failure but „no such file" refuses (fail closed); at most
+  ONE reboot per hour per guest (`<guests>/<vmid>/operator-reboot.json`, on disk — it survives an agent restart); the
+  operator restart's brake (a refusal in force refuses a reboot; a reboot counts as one of the 3 restarts in 15 minutes).
+- **During the reboot** the guest-power watchdog and the controller supervisor leave the guest alone (`rebootInFlight`):
+  a racing start would fail the reboot's own start half.
+- **The result** says both times from the press: „rebooted; the guest was up after 41 s, the controller answered after
+  63 s" — or `failed`, said plainly. The record is written BEFORE the reboot; the new self-scoped
+  `GET /guest/operator-reboot` gives it to the controller for one day, for the household's line „Felhom support
+  restarted your box at <time>".
+- **One new sudo vector** (configs/ changed → the signed config bundle): `pct exec <vmid> -- cat
+  /var/lib/docker/volumes/felhom-controller-data/_data/data/ctl/busy` — read-only, one fixed path, in
+  `FELHOM_CONTROLLERSWAP`; capability `controller-busy-read` (not critical: without it, every reboot press is refused).
+- Tests `TestOpReboot_*` (the times + the record + the gate given back; 13 guard cases; a stale busy file; once per hour
+  across an agent restart; the brake counting a reboot; a failed reboot; the watchdogs leaving the guest alone; the
+  notice expiring after a day) and `TestOpActions_AgentClosedList` — each seen failing by a mutation (19 mutants).

+//
+// WHY: a stuck Docker or a stuck network inside the box is out of reach of „Restart controller" — that restarts one
+// container. The reboot is the existing guest-reboot path (`pct reboot <vmid>`, the household's „A Felhom
+// újraindítása", the same exact sudo vector) — of THAT guest, never the host.
+//
+// THE GUARDS (each refuses with the reason in the result; nothing is called):
+//   - the guest is not one this agent provisioned, is not running, is locked, or its controller is parked;
+//   - a controller swap (update) is in flight;
+//   - a heavy operation holds the host-wide gate (a backup of any tier the agent runs, a restore test, an OS step),
+//     or jobBlocker finds one (an agent backup job, a drive or NAS job, an escrow ceremony, a vzdump of the guest);
+//   - the CONTROLLER says it is busy: a backup, a restore, an off-site run or an app update (its `ctl/busy` file,
+//     read over one exact `pct exec … cat` grant; controllerBusy below). Fails closed on any read error but „no file";
+//   - at most ONE reboot per hour per guest (the record below, persisted — it survives an agent restart);
+//   - the operator restart's brake: a reboot counts as a restart, and the brake's refusal refuses a reboot too.
+// The heavy-operation gate is HELD from the checks until the guest is up again, so no backup, restore test or OS
+// step of this agent can start in between. The guest-power watchdog and the controller supervisor leave the guest
+// alone while the reboot runs (rebootInFlight).
+//
