admin 6be168d1a0 docs(R-117 Part 1): repeat the no-block-I/O health-check rule where it binds
felhom.eu/CLAUDE.md now carries the standing rule (with the measurement), but
that file does not load in an agent-only session — and health checks are written
in this repo. A standing rule that does not load where it binds is the inert-seam
shape applied to a rule, so the constraint is repeated here as a one-liner with a
pointer to the full text.

No code change, no version bump.

# CLAUDE.md — `felhom-agent`
> Loads when Claude Code touches this repo. Stable orientation only — **current state lives in
> `CONTEXT.md` and the top of `CHANGELOG.md`**, never here. Cross-repo orientation: workspace-root
> `/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/CLAUDE.md`.
## What this repo is
`felhom-agent` is the operator-tier **host agent** that runs on each Proxmox host and owns **all**
Proxmox interaction: provision/restore guests, host storage, backup/restore orchestration, the hub
control loop, and a narrow per-guest local API. It is the **most privilege-sensitive** component.
- Renamed former `proxmox-controller` repo.
- **Distinct from `felhom-controller`** — that is the *in-guest* controller (Docker-only, no Proxmox
creds). Do not confuse them.
- Control plane, not data plane: if the agent dies, apps keep serving; only management degrades.
## Read before writing code
- **`REUSE.md`** — canonical helpers, format-safety guards, traps, seams. Check it first; update it
in the same commit that changes a shared helper or pattern.
- `CONTEXT.md` (current state + open threads) and the top `CHANGELOG.md` entry (authoritative history).
- Design doc: `felhom.eu/documentation/architecture/03-host-agent.md` (locked). Platform facts:
`felhom.eu/documentation/proxmox-platform.md` + `tests/phase{0,1-2,3,4}-findings.md`.

## Build / run
- Module `gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-agent`; binary `felhom-agent` (`cmd/felhom-agent/`).
- **Pure Go stdlib + `golang.org/x/crypto` only** — no web frameworks. `go.mod` directive go 1.25.0;
DooPlex (192.168.0.180, where CC runs) has the Go toolchain and is on the same LAN as the demo
host — build and run live tests locally.
- Version via `-ldflags "-X main.version=<v>"`; `--version` flag. Bump on meaningful changes + CHANGELOG entry.
- **Full build/deploy/publish runbook: use the `felhom-build-deploy` skill.** Summary:
> **Clean-tree gate before any build:** `git status --porcelain` must be empty and
> `git rev-parse HEAD` must equal `git rev-parse origin/main` in the repo being built. An unpushed
> change does not exist — never build a dirty or unpushed tree. The `git pull` in the build step
> stays (it is a no-op when you work in this tree, and load-bearing if anything was pushed from
> elsewhere).
| Step | Where | One-liner |
|---|---|---|
| Build | DooPlex (local) | `cd /mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/felhom-agent && git pull && go build -ldflags '-X main.version=<v>' -o /tmp/felhom-agent-<v> ./cmd/felhom-agent` |
| Copy | local → felhom-pve | `scp /tmp/felhom-agent-<v> felhom-pve:/tmp/` (one hop) |
| Deploy | felhom-pve | backup `.bak-<old>``install -m0755``systemctl restart felhom-agent` (non-root `felhom-agent` user, config `/etc/felhom-agent/agent.json`) |
| Ship configs | felhom-pve | sudoers (`/etc/sudoers.d/felhom-agent`) + guarded-mkfs wrapper WITH the binary when `configs/` changed |
| Publish | DooPlex (local) | `scripts/publish-agent.sh <ver> <bin>` (REGISTRY_* creds); hub Day-0 manifest vouch = operator follow-up |
| Verify | felhom-pve | `felhom-agent --version` + journal (clean ReassertGuestBinds, no capability degradation) |
## Proxmox model (the load-bearing rules)
- **API-first** via a scoped `FelhomAgent` token. Raw root-CLI is **fenced to exactly 3 exceptions**:
keyctl `pct create` (golden image), USB mount/fstab, SMART/sensors. `Client` never shells out;
`Privileged` never makes HTTP calls (asserted by `routing_test.go`). Keep that fence.
- **Every mutating op is async** → returns a UPID → `WaitTask` asserts `exitstatus == "OK"`. A 200 on
the POST is **not** success; authorization can fail at task execution.
- **TLS:** SHA-256 leaf-cert pinning (self-signed host cert). No insecure default.
- **Privsep token gotcha:** a `--privsep 1` token's rights = intersection of the backing user's perms
AND the token's ACLs — the role must be granted on **both**, or every call 403s.
- Destructive ops go through the reconcile gate / signed-jobs path — never call `Client.DestroyLXC`/
`Vzdump`/`SetConfig` ad-hoc (REUSE.md §3).
## Demo host (for live tests)
Node **`demo-felhom`**, API `https://192.168.0.162:8006`. SSH alias `felhom-pve` (root@pam) —
available to CC as plain `ssh felhom-pve`. A **second demo node `demo-hp`** (HP t740, node name
`felhom-host`, `ssh demo-hp` — no baked key; break-glass root via hub `host_recovery/demo-hp-bb76ea` +
`sshpass`) is the **designated drill+build VM host** per the 2026-07-25 operator ruling, and that ruling
is **realized** — it hosts drill VM `300` (`drill-r50`), so **start there**, not on DooPlex. (The
historical golden-bake `drill.qcow2` still lives on DooPlex and is a bake fixture, not a drill target.)
**Which box is safe to break, and what may be done to each:
`felhom.eu/documentation/runbooks/target-selection.md`** — read it before any destructive test. Both
nodes + the break-glass recipe: `felhom.eu/documentation/operations/nodes.md`. The agent pins the served leaf cert — verify the
fingerprint still matches before a live run. Selftest modes (run locally on DooPlex, pointed at the
demo API): `--selftest[=read|task|hub|storage|backup|restore-test|pbs-verify]`; no flag = the daemon.
> **TEMPORARY — felhom-pve is at a remote site (until ~2026-08-02).** The home-LAN literal
> `192.168.0.162` is NOT reachable from DooPlex for the duration. Access via Tailscale:
> felhom-pve = 100.70.170.35; the `Host felhom-pve` entry in `~/.ssh/config` on DooPlex already
> points there (the direct-LAN path stays available as `Host felhom-pve-lan`). Delete this block on
> return. All documented `ssh felhom-pve` / `pct exec` workflows are unchanged. Path is **direct**
> (not DERP), ~37 ms rtt per hop. At the remote site the host is on **DHCP**; re-check its address
> rather than trusting one written here (`ip -br addr show vmbr0` — it read `192.168.0.162/24` on
> 2026-07-30, and `felhom-pve-lan` from DooPlex is still `No route to host`). Details + findings:
> `felhom.eu/documentation/audits/AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20.md`
>
> **The "agent does not run at the remote site" warning this block used to carry is RETRACTED
> (2026-07-30) — it was true before R-50 and is false now.** `localapi` no longer binds a LAN literal:
> since the R-50 island migration (2026-07-25) it binds `169.254.253.1:8443` on `vmbr9`, which is
> location-independent by design, and `proxmox.endpoint` is `https://127.0.0.1:8006`. Verified live:
> `systemctl is-active felhom-agent` → `active`, `felhom-agent --version` → 0.115.0, and the per-guest
> local API answered `GET /disks` over the island. No config edit and no Viktor GO are outstanding.
> **Legacy: Windows workstation.** Until 2026-07-19 CC ran on Windows 11; `pct` commands over SSH
> needed `export MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1`, and every remote command used
> `SSH=/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe`. Agent deploy was a two-hop copy via the Windows box
> (`cygpath -w` for the local scp path; CRLF hazard on config files).
## Conventions
### Trunk-based — no branches
All shippable work commits **directly to `main`**; `main` equals what is deployed.
- Report-only artifacts (audits, findings, fixspecs) → `felhom.eu/documentation/` (`audits/`, `backlog/`).
- Risky/supervised fixes are spec'd, then implemented **during the supervised session, on `main`**.
- Unattended escape hatch: if a fix can't be cleanly verified/shipped, revert + report — never park on a branch.
> **In every repository where you make a change, update both files in that repo:**
> - **`CHANGELOG.md`** — cumulative log, newest on top.
> - **`REPORT.md`** — **overwrite** with the most recent implementation/validation summary only.
>
> **Never write secrets** into any committed file — reference them as "stored out-of-band".
- Code quality: verify generated code for bugs/edge cases; add debug logging; **ask rather than
guess** when you'd otherwise invent input/output.
- **A health check issues no block I/O** — no `statfs`, no `getdents`, no read, write or `fsync`, **not
even behind a timeout**. Liveness is decided from `/proc` and kernel state. The full rule + the
measurement lives in `felhom.eu/CLAUDE.md` "Code quality rules"; it is repeated here because health
checks are written in THIS repo and that file does not load in an agent-only session. R-117 spike §6.3.
- Update `REUSE.md` if you added/changed/deprecated a shared helper or pattern (same commit).
- Testing doctrine (non-hollow tests, red-proofs, seams): use the `felhom-testing` skill.
- **Logging**: the slog logger fans out to journald (configured level) + the always-DEBUG `applog.Ring`
(remote pulls) — English, keys-never-values, durations on outcomes; full rules in
`felhom.eu/documentation/runbooks/logging-conventions.md`.
### Live validation
Exercise the SERVER-SIDE PIPELINE a real user triggers, end-to-end. The forbidden shortcut is
BYPASSING it (the F9 episode: raw guest-attach + hand-set state). Invoking the exact endpoint the UI
invokes is an acceptable proxy when a browser isn't available — say which method was used. Low-level
mechanism tests where the direct call IS the mechanism are exempt.
## Workflow & artifacts
- Implement **`TASK.md` / `TASK-*.md`** specs (when placed as `TASK.md` or told to), then push +
CHANGELOG + REPORT.md.
- **`RUNBOOK-*.md`** — an operational procedure. CC executes the steps it has access and capability
for, including live validation on the demo Proxmox host (CC has root@felhom-pve SSH + the
felhom-agent token). Mark a step HUMAN only when it genuinely needs physical presence, a real-world
decision, or credentials CC truly lacks. Judgment still applies: confirm before irreversible ops on
real customer data — demo scratch guests are fair game.
