v0.122.0: three ways the signals lied about themselves (R-189, R-188, R-186)
All three are the reporting and release path misreporting its own work. No
customer machine, no backup, no restore, no data. The restore-test itself and
when it runs are unchanged.

R-189 — a passing restore-test no longer vanishes on a restart. restore_tests[]
came only from the in-memory store, whose comment ("lost on restart; the cadence
re-populates") was true under a timer and stopped being true when R-86 made the
agent refuse to re-test a proven archive: the proof is then not repeated for a
whole archive generation. Observed live — a 14.5 GB offsite PASS reached no
host-report because the agent was restarted 2m43s later. RestoreTestState now
carries tier + verified beside the archive and renders reportable entries; the
collector merges them, one per tier, newest by TestedAt. It refuses to lie: a
record missing archive-or-tier produces no entry, and run mechanics are not
re-invented. Only successes are persisted, and the asymmetry is now written where
it will be read.

R-188 — a correct release stops emailing a failure. Only the tag PUSH moved
(build -> tag locally -> publish -> push tag): the push wakes CI, and a tag
visible before its package made the gate correctly fail a correct release about
half the time. The old order's invariant is asserted directly instead — the gate
now refuses a published version with no tag, as a bounded probe that prints its
own coverage, because the package listing api is still 401 without a token.

R-186 — a released binary can be verified by rebuilding it. -trimpath
-buildvcs=false: same source, same bytes, tag or no tag. Measured. publish-agent's
fallback also forced CGO_ENABLED=0 and produced a 74 KB different binary for the
same version; both paths now build identically. CLAUDE.md records the command.

# release-agent.sh — THE way to release a felhom-agent version. One act: build → tag → publish →
# verify by independent download.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS (R-115). Publishing used to be a step someone had to remember, and it was
# forgotten THREE TIMES IN FIVE DAYS:
#
# * R-111 (2026-07-29) 17 releases v0.97.0-v0.113.0 built and never published, so a new customer
# would have installed without the whole R-82 tiered-backup arc, F-CRIT-2 and F-REBOOT.
# * 0.114.0 (same afternoon) built, deployed to felhom-pve, never published.
# * 0.120.0 (2026-08-03) built, committed and deployed to BOTH demo hosts, never published. A
# documented-path reinstall would have silently DOWNGRADED both boxes to the pre-merge
# agent — and would have *succeeded* while doing it, because the current `step_grows`
# sets SYSDATA_GROW=0 so the older agent's fatal mp1 resize never fires.
#
# R-111's own closing line said publishing should join the release train rather than stay a
# remembered step. It closed SHIPPED without that leg, and the leg recurred the same afternoon —
# which is the evidence that a note is not a mechanism. This file is the mechanism. The
# documentation now points here instead of at a raw `go build` line, so there is ONE documented way
# to release and it cannot complete without publishing.
#
# WHY IT TAGS (R-183). Since felhom-host-install.sh pins its sixteen agent-config fetches to
# `raw/tag/v<version>`, a released version without a git tag 404s a box mid-install, as root, on a
# virgin machine. The tag and the package are two halves of one release and are created together.
#
# WHY IT DOES NOT VOUCH. Vouching is what points machines at a version, and it stays the operator's
# deliberate act — the same prove-then-vouch principle that governed the golden two sessions ago.
# This script prints the version and sha to vouch; a human decides when.
#
# Usage:
# GITEA_USER=admin GITEA_TOKEN=<token> ./scripts/release-agent.sh <version>
#
# Env: GITEA_USER/GITEA_TOKEN (package write) — same credentials publish-agent.sh already takes.
# GITEA_BASE / GITEA_OWNER override the defaults.
# RELEASE_ALLOW_DIRTY=1 skips the clean-tree gate (for a rehearsal; never for a real release).

# REPRODUCIBLE BY CONSTRUCTION (R-186). The sha printed below is the one the operator vouches, and
# until now nobody could rebuild it to check: `go build` stamps a module version derived from VCS
# state, so a build made BEFORE the tag exists and a rebuild made after it are different binaries.
# Measured 2026-08-03 at this commit — same source, same toolchain, same ldflags:
#
# default flags, no tag yet .. 18f4a495… 14 085 464 B (mod v0.121.2-0.2026…-3d0a1d61)
# default flags, tagged ...... 4a38f394… 14 085 440 B (mod v0.121.99)
# -trimpath -buildvcs=false ... 7ffcdf1d… 14 064 574 B IDENTICAL both ways
#
# `-buildvcs=false` removes the stamp — nothing in this repo reads it (no `ReadBuildInfo` caller,
# verified) and the version comes from the explicit ldflag below, which is where it belongs.
# `-trimpath` removes absolute build paths, so a rebuild from a different checkout directory also
# matches. Neither is a sequencing trick: the property no longer depends on WHEN the build happens.
#
# CGO is deliberately left at its default. publish-agent.sh's fallback build used to force
# CGO_ENABLED=0 and therefore produced a DIFFERENT binary (13 990 236 B, 74 KB smaller) for the same
# version — one version name, two binaries, by whichever entry point was used. Both now build the
# same way; if that ever has to change, change it in BOTH or the guarantee is gone.

# ── 4. Tag LOCALLY (the push comes after the publish — see step 6) ──────────────────────────────
#
# THE ORDER CHANGED, AND ONLY THE PUSH MOVED (R-188, 2026-08-03).
#
# It used to be tag → push tag → publish, and the reason written here was sound: a tag with no
# package is caught by scripts/check-published-versions.py, a package with no tag is invisible to it,
# because the Gitea package LISTING api needs a token the gate does not have.
#
# What that reasoning missed is that the tag PUSH is what wakes CI (`on: [push]`), so the gate ran in
# the seconds between the tag becoming visible and the package existing — and correctly failed. Every
# correct release had roughly a coin-flip chance of emailing the operator a failure for a release
# that worked. Measured across two releases in one session: runs 12/13 (v0.121.0) and 17/18
# (v0.121.1), same sha each time, opposite results. R-168 made that mail the thing that cannot be
# missed; a mail that is wrong half the time is one you stop reading, and then the real one goes too.
#
# So the tag is still created HERE, before anything is published — the build and the tag still
# describe the same commit, and a failed publish leaves a purely local tag that never misled anyone.
# It simply becomes VISIBLE (to CI, and to any installer fetching raw/tag/…) only once the package
# is downloadable. The invariant the old order protected is not traded away: it is asserted directly
# by the gate's new converse probe (a published version with no tag FAILS), so both directions are
# now checked rather than one being arranged for.
