v0.97.0 — R-82 Slice A: per-target backup tiers (local daily + PBS weekly) (2026-07-26)
Additive; MinAgent floor rises for the multi-tier contract (a controller that wants per-tier backups needs this agent — but see the compatibility rule: an OLD controller is unaffected).
Slice A of R-82. BackupTarget() returned ONE string and BackupCadence() ONE 24h window, so
"local daily and PBS weekly" was not expressible at all — which is why the DR promise is
currently unbacked (demo-felhom holds one PBS snapshot from 2026-07-18, demo-hp zero, ever).
Phase-0 gate results: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-r82-phase0-2026-07-26.md.
This slice ships the mechanism only. No box's behaviour changes until a backup_targets entry is
added to its config (Slice D). An untouched config resolves to exactly one tier and behaves
byte-identically to v0.96.0.
The compatibility rule (load-bearing)
The agent and controller deploy independently, so the untargeted local-API contract is frozen:
GET /backup/duewith no?target=→ the PRIMARY tier, same cadence, same response bytes.BackupDueResponse.Targetisomitemptyand left EMPTY for untargeted requests, so an old controller cannot tell this agent from the old one. Pinned by a red-proofed test.- Same for
POST /backupandGET /backup/status. - The primary tier's job-id format is unchanged; only additive tiers carry a target segment.
Added
config.BackupTargetConfig+BackupConfig.ExtraTargets(backup_targets) — each tier carries its OWN cadence and its OWN retention. Those are semantically different per tier:keep-last=3is three DAYS on a daily tier and three WEEKS on a weekly one, so sharing one knob guarantees one of them is wrong.BackupConfig.BackupTiers() ([]BackupTier, []string)— resolves the tier list, primary first, plus warnings the caller MUST log. A tier is rejected, not defaulted, when its cadence is missing: silently defaulting a weekly DR tier to the 24h local default would fill the 37.2 GB datastore. Empty/duplicate targets are rejected too.main.gologs every rejection at ERROR — a silently dropped backup tier is the "applied and empty" fault this task exists to fix.GET /backup/tiers— advertises the tiers, primary first. This is the controller's capability probe: a 404 means a pre-R-82 agent, and Slice B falls back to single-tier on it.localapi.BackupTier+normalizeBackupTiers— nil tiers synthesize the legacy single tier, so every existing caller and test hits the pre-R-82 path untouched. A tier with a nil runner is DROPPED rather than advertised (advertising one would be an applied-and-empty tier).
Changed
/backup/due?target=judges that tier against ITS OWN newest successful backup (latestSuccessfulBackupForTarget). Without this filter a fresh daily local backup would satisfy the weekly PBS cadence and the DR tier would never run — today's bug, re-created in code. The store was already keyed by target, so this is a lookup change, not a data-model change.- Backup jobs are keyed by (vmid, target), not vmid. Single-flight is now PER TIER, which is what lets the weekly night run both backups inside ONE quiesce window (Slice B). Keying by vmid alone handed the second caller the first tier's job id — caught by its own test, and it would have made the controller believe a PBS backup ran when only the local one had.
- Job ids are unique per tier by construction, not by clock luck (two tiers can start in the same nanosecond). The primary keeps the old format; additive tiers carry the target segment.
- One runner per tier (
main.go). The runner holds target/mode/notes/retention as immutable construction state andlocalPruneSpecreads that retention — parameterising a single runner by target would risk pairing tier A's target with tier B's retention. - An unknown
?target=is a 400, never a silent fallback to the primary. A controller asking about a tier this agent does not serve must find out, not act on another tier's freshness.
NOT changed (deliberate)
- The local tier. Same target, same 24h cadence, same keep-last=3 clamp. It is the only honest tier today and this slice does not touch it.
- PBS is still never pruned by the per-run
--prune-backupsflag (localPruneSpec). Per-tier retention is plumbed and a tier'skeep_lastdefaults to 0 = never prune, but turning on automatic pruning of the DR datastore is irreversible and needs an operator ruling — R-82 Phase 0 already flagged retention as needing one. Recorded, not decided here. - The fail-safe-toward-due rule on an unparseable timestamp. A spurious backup is cheap; a skipped one is not.
Tests
768 (was 748), +20 across internal/localapi/backup_tiers_test.go and
internal/config/backup_tiers_test.go. Red-proof #1 (old controller ↔ new agent) observed:
removing the untargeted compat branch makes the untargeted body carry "target":"local" and the
test fails on it. Restored.
v0.96.0 — R-50 island NIC: provision attaches the guest's island net1 (2026-07-25)
Additive; MinAgent unchanged (no controller coupling — the controller dials whatever bootstrap.json
says, and the pin is address-independent). Implements the provisioning half of the R-50 island control
plane, spiked GO in felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-island-bridge-2026-07-25.md. A fresh install
is now born immune to F1 (AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20: a LAN/DHCP move made the agent fail to
bind → storage/PBS/quiesce/restore-test/DR down, silently).
LocalAPIConfiggainsisland_bridge+island_guest_addr(config.go).IslandEnabled()= both set.Validate()enforces all-or-nothing + a CIDR guest addr — a half-set/malformed island fails at load (a botched install), never a silent LAN fallback that would leave an island bind with no island NIC.buildBringUpConfig(reconcile/bringup.go): when both island fields are set, attaches a staticnet1=name=eth1,bridge=<vmbr9>,ip=<169.254.253.2/30>(no hwaddr → fresh per-guest MAC) on BOTH provision and DR bring-up. Empty = pre-R-50, no net1 (byte-for-byte the old config on non-island hosts). Plumbed fromcfg.LocalAPIat bothRunBringUpcall sites (cmd/main.go). The bootstrapendpointalready derives fromlisten_addr(main.go), so moving the agent bind to the island moves the guest dial for free — no template change (A0 determination).- Design note (A0/A3): endpoint is config-derived, so no code was needed there; the guestnet healer
is eth0-only (
parseModeis dev-scoped) so the static islandeth1is outside its scope — a red-proof test locks that in (TestParseMode_IslandStaticNICDoesNotConfuseEth0) rather than changing the healer. - Tests (all non-hollow, red-proofed):
TestBuildBringUpConfig_IslandNIC,TestLocalAPIConfig_IslandValidation, plus the healer scoping test above. - Coupling (deploy order): a host-install that writes the island config REQUIRES agent ≥ 0.96.0 to
read
island_guest_addrand attach net1 — vouch 0.96.0 before island installs go live. Migration of existing boxes is the Phase-B runbook (felhom.eu/documentation/runbooks/RUNBOOK-island-migration.md).
v0.95.0 — SMART coverage: union-path drives + LVM/dm root + device model (2026-07-25)
Additive; MinAgent unchanged; hub untouched (unknown JSON fields ignored). Implements the graded
fixes from felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-smart-coverage-2026-07-25.md, which proved both demo
disks answer the allowlisted smartctl -a -j with PASSED but the agent never asked.
- Fix B — union-path SMART: registry/USB drives ride the
/disksunion path (driveTargets.Known), which skips Observe'senrich, so they showed "Nincs adat" despite working SMART. Newstorage.SmartReader(SMARTForBacking, reusessmartDeviceFor) is wired into the union path via a localapi seam — the USB drive now reports its real verdict. The watchdogKnownpath stays enrich-free (asserted: zero smartctl calls). - Fix A — LVM/device-mapper resolution:
smartDeviceForgains a dm branch that resolves/dev/dm-N//dev/mapper/Xto the single backing whole disk via/sys/block/<dm>/slaves(recursive; skips rather than guesses when slaves span >1 physical disk). And the builtinlocaldir on the LVM root — whosebacking_deviceis empty by design (removable-safety) — now gets a SMART-only device resolved from its containing filesystem (mount table), never touchingbacking_device/durable_id. The system SSD stops reading "Nincs adat". - Device model:
SmartSummary.ModelNamecaptured from smartctl's ownmodel_name(already parsed), so the controller card can label a disk "TOSHIBA MQ04ABF100" instead of a raw UUID. - Fix C (
-d sat) stays rejected (disproven live; absent from sudoers). No sudoers/manifest change. Consumed by controller v0.171.0. Tests: dm-resolution table (+multi-disk-skip red-proof), containing-fs resolution (+red-proof), union-path SMART (+red-proof), model capture, Known-path-never-SMARTs.
v0.94.0 — serialize per-disk SMART into the /disks payload (2026-07-24)
Additive, backward-compatible; MinAgent floor unchanged (the controller feature-detects by payload
presence). No new smartctl load, no new endpoint, no sudoers change — the SMART is already computed on
the request path (storage.Observe → enrich runs smartctl -a -j for dir-backed targets); this
release simply copies the target's already-populated Smart into localapi.DiskInfo.
DiskInfogainsSmart *hub.SmartSummary \json:"smart,omitempty"`. InhandleDisksthe summary is copied **only whent.Smart.Health != ""`** — a zero-value summary (SMART never read: no smartctl device, USB bridge, or a failed read) stays omitted, so the controller sees absent and renders "Nincs adat" rather than a misleading UNKNOWN. The union-in drives (driveTargets.Known path, no enrichment) carry no SMART and are omitted by the same guard.- The controller (v0.169.0) consumes this to render a "Lemezek állapota" card + a 6-hourly degradation notification. Old controllers ignore the extra field.
- Test
TestDisks_SmartSerialized(payload includes SATA counters + temperature for a fixture target; absent-SMART target omits the field); red-proof: drop the copy → the serialized-Smart assertion fails.
v0.93.0 — a recovery code can no longer contain a hyphenated word (2026-07-21)
SHIPPED 2026-07-22: built + published (sha256
a68b2ff73200622e…), Day-0-manifest-vouched, deployed to both fleet boxes (felhom-pve + demo-hp), clean-restart verified. Record:felhom.eu/documentation/pilot/RUNBOOK-publish-agent-0.93-2026-07-22.md.
Generation-only change. Every recovery code already issued remains valid — R is consumed as a
whole passphrase by the PBS scrypt KDF (Wrap/Unwrap) and is never re-split, so nothing about
verification moves. Nothing in the KDF/consume path, the word count, or the joiner changed.
The EFF large wordlist contains exactly four entries that themselves contain the hyphen we join
words with: drop-down, felt-tip, t-shirt, yo-yo. Drawing one produced a code that reads as
11 words rather than 10 — ambiguous to transcribe in exactly the situation R exists for, a customer
reading a code back during a disaster. The generator now draws from the list filtered of those four
(joinSafe), so a code always segments back into exactly RecoveryCodeWords.
- Entropy floor holds, with the numbers asserted in the tests: the draw space goes 7776 → 7772, so a 10-word code goes 129.248 → 129.241 bits. The cost is 0.007 bits against a 128-bit floor.
- The long-standing ~1/5 test flake was this defect, not a flaky test.
TestGenerateRecoveryCode_EntropyAndFormatcounted words by splitting the joined string, which conflates "how many words were drawn" with "how many segments the code has". It now counts what the generator drew, and asserts the segmentation property separately — the propertyjoinSafeactually buys. (felhom.eu/REPORT.md§6 item 3 recorded it at 3/8 in one session.) - Deterministic red-proof, in-tree:
TestGeneratedCodeSegments_FilteredVsUnfiltereddrives the generator against a fixture list where every word is hyphenated, so the pre-fix defect reproduces with probability 1 instead of ~1/5, and shows the same list throughjoinSaferefuses to generate. - New for audit:
WordlistFilteredOut(),RecoveryCodeSep.WordlistSize()now reports the effective (filtered) draw space, 7772.
v0.92.1 — ship the guestnet sudoers grant with the binary (supersedes v0.92.0) (2026-07-21)
Supersedes v0.92.0; that artifact is materially incomplete — do not vouch it. It was published
before live verification revealed the watchdog had no sudoers grant for three of its four probes,
so it carries neither the FELHOM_GUESTNET alias nor the guestnet-* capability rows that make a
host missing that alias visible. Left in place rather than overwritten — a published version stays
immutable (the v0.91.0 → v0.91.1 precedent).
No behaviour change beyond the capability rows; the watchdog code is byte-identical to v0.92.0. The
functional fix is configs/felhom-agent.sudoers, which must be deployed with the binary.
v0.92.0 — the guest network gets a watchdog (R-54) (2026-07-21)
Host-tier only — no controller coupling, no wire change the hub must understand today (the
guest_net stanza is additive and stored opaquely, exactly like pbs_dr and wireguard).
Closes the OPEN RISK left by INCIDENT-guest-dhclient-killed-2026-07-20 §5: the guest's DHCP
client is started once by ifupdown at boot and nothing supervises it. When it died on 2026-07-20
the guest kept working for another ~80 minutes on its unexpired lease; only when the lease expired
did the address and the default route vanish, taking the Cloudflare tunnel, the hub reports, the
catalog sync and the controller→agent channel with them — a 1h15m outage in which every observable
signal said healthy for the first 80 minutes.
The design consequence, and the point of the whole package: liveness of the DHCP client is itself
a probe. Waiting for the address to disappear is waiting out precisely that silent window. The
watchdog therefore flags a DHCP guest unhealthy on pgrep -x dhclient alone, while the lease is
still live and everything else still looks perfect.
internal/guestnet, built on the wg-tunnel/storage watchdog loop shape:
- Probes (four fixed-shape
pct execargvs, no shell anywhere, no guest data interpolated): address, default route,/etc/network/interfacesmode, dhclient liveness. Parsers are pinned to output captured live from guest 9201 on 2026-07-21 — including the literal backslaship -oemits and the docker-bridge routes that must not read as a default route. - Heals with the incident's restored invocation, verbatim, logged at INFO before it runs:
pct exec <vmid> -- dhclient -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0 - Dampers, because this runs a privileged command inside a customer's container: two CONSECUTIVE bad probes before any heal (one blip is not a diagnosis), ≥10 min between heals per guest, ≤3 heals/hour, and an observe-only window while the guest (or the agent) has been up under 3 minutes.
- Refuses to act on a static guest (dhclient must never fight a static config — a static guest
missing its address is reported loudly and left to R-50), on an unknown interface mode, on a guest
it cannot probe, and when the guest list cannot be ownership-proven. The guest source is the
pool-verified one (
ListLXC∩ the felhom pool, audit A1) — never a bareListLXC, which under a broad token would run dhclient inside a co-tenant's container. - A failed PROBE never reads as a dead client.
pgrepexits 1 with empty stderr when there is no match; anything on stderr means the probe itself failed, which reads as unknown. Otherwise a missingpgrepwould heal forever. - Healthy cycles log a Debug line (v0.91.2's lesson, one day old): if the quiet path is silent, "no alarms" and "never probed" are the same evidence, and an inert watchdog is indistinguishable from a working one.
- Deliberately NOT in the
errcfan-out — a watchdog over customer guests must never be able to terminate the agent. A test asserts that, because joining the fan-out would also make the shutdown drain bound off by one.
Config guest_net is this repo's first DEFAULT-ON feature gate, and the inversion is deliberate.
Every other gate defaults to false because those features reach outward (an offsite endpoint, an OOB
tunnel) and enrolling a box by an update would be wrong. This one looks only INWARD at guests the
agent already owns, and the failure it prevents exists on every box today. A watchdog that must be
remembered per box is a watchdog that is missing on the box that needed it. Opting out is the
explicit act: "guest_net": {"disable": true}.
Naming deviation from the spec, deliberate: TASK-D called the report block WireGuestNet. In
this repo Wire* is the DOWN direction (WireDesiredState / WirePBSDR — what the hub sends), and
UP-direction report stanzas are *Status. It ships as GuestNetStatus so it is not the one report
block named against the convention.
- Wiring is asserted from
package mainby an AST walk (construct +SetGuestNetReporter+ the started goroutine) — the v0.91.0 defect was exactly a seam whose caller was never written, with every unit test green. Red-proof: un-wiring both lines fails the test with both reasons named. - Red-proof for the detection itself: reverting
classifyto IP-presence-only makes the July-20 fixture report "healthy" and records zero heals — the 80-minute silent window, reproduced. - Ships a sudoers change (
configs/felhom-agent.sudoersMUST be deployed with the binary). TASK-D assumed none was needed; live verification on felhom-pve proved otherwise — the first sweep loggeddhclient liveness probe failed: sudo: a password is requiredand correctly reportedstate=unknownrather than acting blind. The existing grant covered only lanresolver's address read.FELHOM_GUESTNETadds four fixed vectors (route, interfaces, pgrep, and the heal), every argument after the numeric vmid a literal, so no hub or guest input can widen it. The address read is not duplicated — it stays FELHOM_DNSMASQ's. - Four
guestnet-*capability rows so a host missing that sudoers file is VISIBLE as degraded rather than silently watchdog-less. Non-critical on purpose: a missing grant must not page an operator for every box on rollout day (the R-50b amber-fleet lesson). var versionin main.go was stale at0.89.0(three releases behind); builds set it via ldflags, butgo runand any forgotten-Xreported a version that had not existed for days.
v0.91.2 — a healthy credential probe is observable (2026-07-21)
The probe logged only on failure, so a healthy one was silent — which makes "no auth_failed"
indistinguishable from "never probed", and leaves the leg impossible to demonstrate as running. That
is precisely how v0.91.0 shipped it inert without anyone noticing. Adds a Debug line on success
naming the storage: free in normal operation, one log level away when it matters.
v0.91.1 — wire the credential probe (v0.91.0 shipped the seam inert) (2026-07-21)
Supersedes v0.91.0; that artifact is materially incomplete — do not vouch it.
v0.91.0 built the pbs.AuthSink seam and the NoteAuthResult consumer, and main.go never called
SetAuthSink. The reporter deliberately skips probing when no sink is attached, so the whole
auth-honesty leg was silently inert: no probe, no auth_failed, no self-heal — and nothing failed,
because every unit test injected the sink directly.
Caught during STOP-1 live verification by checking the wiring rather than trusting it. Exactly the same class as the controller v0.154.0 defect the day before: a table test over a seam proves the seam, not the caller. The published 0.91.0 artifact is left in place and superseded rather than overwritten — a published version must stay immutable.
main.go:pbsReporter.SetAuthSink(pdMgr)in the pbsdr bridge block.TestLiveReporter_NoSinkMeansNoProbepins the no-sink-no-probe contract, so the inert case stays a documented behaviour rather than an accident nobody notices twice. The wiring itself is proven by the live STOP-1/STOP-2 evidence, which is the only thing that can prove it.
v0.91.0 — the DR tier can no longer be applied and dead at the same time (R-39 fleet fix + R-50b(a)) (2026-07-21)
Requires hub >= v0.68.0 for the re-arm signal. Hub v0.68.0 is safe for 0.90.0 agents (they drop the unknown descriptor key), but the guarantees below need THIS agent. MinAgent → 0.91.0 is an operator manifest save, sequenced after the fleet has self-updated — not a code change.
What was broken
Three compounding defects let a box report applied while every PBS request 401'd:
- The re-key was invisible. An ep0 re-issue rotates the SECRET of an existing token, so
token_id,fingerprint,datastoreandnamespaceall come back byte-identical. The agent re-applies on the descriptor's CONTENT HASH, so a converged box short-circuited and never consumed the fresh secret. Proof from the N100:consumed-failed.jsoncarried a hash byte-identical to themarker.jsonwritten two minutes before the re-issue. - The agent could not read its own credential. It WRITES
/etc/pve/priv/storage/<id>.pwthrough the root wrapper, but that directory is0700 root:www-dataand the wrapper had no read verb — sopbsTargetsFromPVEgot "permission denied" every cycle, logged a Warn and skipped the datastore. The one loop that could have caught the 401 was blind by construction. - Nothing probed authentication. A snapshot list that fails with 401 looked exactly like "PBS is busy".
The fix
WirePBSDR.SecretGeneration— field-exact with the hub's descriptor. BecausedescriptorHashmarshals this struct, the hub's monotonic mint counter is what finally moves the hash and re-arms a converged agent.- Wrapper
readverb (+ exactly ONE sudoers line, + apbsdr-readcapability row). Prints one secret to STDOUT and nothing else: no network, no mutation, no logging of the value, and the secret never rides argv (sudo logs argv). Traversal is refused three times over — the id grammar admits no slash,val_sdirpins the directory, and the RESOLVED path is prefix-asserted. pbs.ProbeAuth—GET /version, the cheapest authenticated question, with a distinctErrUnauthorizedsentinel./versionneeds no datastore, namespace or privilege, so a 401 there means the CREDENTIAL is bad — not that an ACL is narrow. 403 is deliberately NOT treated as unauthorized: re-keying a too-narrow token would mint credentials forever without fixing anything.- The probe runs on the 15-minute collect path (not the 6 h verify cadence) and its verdict
becomes a LOUD
auth_failedstate the hub's pbsdrheal escalates to a fresh mint. A transport error is UNKNOWN, never a rejection — otherwise every network blip would burn a credential. Recovery is self-clearing. readPBSSecretnow prefers a directly-readable file and falls back to the wrapper, so a box with its own agent-owned secret dir needs no sudo at all.- R-50b(a): the report carries the installed wrapper's sha256, so drift against the vouched manifest value is finally answerable. Empty = unknown, never drift.
Tests
Scenario A (a re-key re-arms a converged agent) with the hash mechanism asserted separately; the
unknown-field compat direction; auth_failed loud/ignored-for-other-storage/none-before-descriptor/
self-clearing; and the wrapper read verb executed under real bash — traversal refusals, secret to
stdout only, missing-file refusal, side-effect freedom.
Three red-proofs run at the assertion level. Removing SecretGeneration makes the re-arm test
fail with consume calls=1, want 2. Swallowing the probe result leaves State:applied AuthFailed:false — the July-18 shape exactly. Deleting the id charset guard alone does not open
a traversal hole (readlink + the prefix assertion still catch it), so the isolating red-proof removes
the charset guard AND the prefix assertion and shows the out-of-tree secret printed.
docs — the workflow moved to DooPlex-local execution (2026-07-19)
Docs only, no version bump, no code change. Claude Code now runs on DooPlex (192.168.0.180,
Debian 13, kisfenyo) instead of the Windows workstation, working directly in
/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/felhom-agent.
CLAUDE.md— the build/deploy table is now local-first: build on DooPlex, then one hopscp /tmp/felhom-agent-<v> felhom-pve:/tmp/. The old path went build-server → Windows box → felhom-pve, needingcygpath -wfor the local scp path; that two-hop detour and its CRLF hazard are gone (recorded in the new "Legacy: Windows workstation" note, not deleted).- New clean-tree gate before any build:
git status --porcelainempty ANDHEAD==origin/main— the CC working tree is now the tree that gets built. An unpushed change does not exist. MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1is no longer needed forpct(it was an MSYS path-mangling workaround);ssh felhom-pveis plain now. Selftests run locally on DooPlex against the demo API.- Workspace-root pointer updated to
/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/CLAUDE.md.
Historical Windows references in past CHANGELOG entries and PLAN.md are left untouched.
build tooling — the golden bakes EVERY infra image, asked from the controller (2026-07-19)
No agent version bump: configs/build-golden.sh only (v2.0.0 → v2.1.0). Effective at the NEXT
golden build — the current golden is NOT rebuilt for this.
- The bug, observed live twice. Enabling Megosztás on a fresh box pulled
felhom-sambafrom the registry with zero feedback: minutes of silent nothing. Cause: this script carried its own hand-maintained array of three image tags, with a comment instructing the reader to keep it in sync with the controller'sinternal/infraconstants. It drifted the moment a fourth stack was added —felhom-sambawas never added here, so the golden baked 3 of 4. - The fix is structural, not another copy. The list now comes from the controller image the bake
just pulled:
docker run --rm <controller> --print-infra-images(backed byinfra.Images(), which derives from the pins themselves). The golden therefore bakes exactly what that controller version will request, and the two cannot disagree by construction. A controller-side test parses the const block out of the source and fails if a pin is added without reachingImages(). - Ordering fix that this exposed.
docker logout+config.jsonremoval ran immediately after the controller pull.felhom-sambalives on the same private registry, so the infra loop would have 401'd. The logout moved to after the loop, with an added hard assertion that no credential remains in the guest before it is archived — the credential is still never baked. - Fallback, loudly. A controller older than v0.147.0 has no
--print-infra-images; the bake falls back to the historical 3-image list and prints three WARN lines saying felhom-samba will not be baked and Megosztás will pull at runtime. The fallback is exactly the drift-prone thing this change removes, so it announces itself rather than passing silently. - ROADMAP: golden ≥ 0.147.x carries all four infra images.
v0.90.1 — R-39 hotfix: PBS reconcile must not pass --server to pvesm set (2026-07-18)
Config-only fix (wrapper + red-proof); the Go binary is unchanged. Ship the wrapper with the
next agent deploy — configs/felhom-pbs-apply is a shipped artifact, not a build input.
Green: go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test ./... all pass.
-
The defect. The
reconcileverb built its argv asargs=(--server "$server" --fingerprint "$fp"). PVE treats a PBS storage'sserveras a create-only parameter and rejects the ENTIREpvesm setcall —can't change value of fixed parameter 'server'— even when the value passed is byte-identical to the stored one. Soreconcilecould never succeed against an existing entry; it exited 255 every time. -
Why that was severe rather than cosmetic. The agent consumes the hub's one-time PBS token secret BEFORE invoking the wrapper. A wrapper failure therefore burned the credential: each hub "Re-issue PBS credentials" minted a fresh secret, the agent consumed it, the wrapper rejected the apply, and the storage entry stayed pinned to the revoked one. Observable end state: the PBS DR tier authenticating 401 Unauthorized indefinitely while the agent reported
pbsdr: converged state=applied. Live-diagnosed on the N100 demo host during the 2026-07-18 rehearsal wrap (felhom.eu/documentation/tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md, finding F2 / ROADMAP R-39). -
The fix. Drop
--serverfrom the reconcile argv. The server address is immutable by construction — relocating a PBS endpoint requires a freshcreate— so there was never anything forreconcileto reconcile there.--fingerprint(and--passwordwhen a secret is fed) remain, which is the mutable identity the verb exists to push. Proven on the live box before committing:pvesm set felhom-pbs --server <same> --fingerprint <same>→ rejected; the same call without--server→ rc 0. -
Red-proof
TestReconcileNeverPassesServerToPvesmSet(internal/pbsdr/manager_test.go): isolates thereconcile)block from the shipped wrapper and asserts no--serverreachespvesm set, plus that--fingerprintis still pushed (so the verb can't be hollowed out). Verified RED against the unfixed wrapper and GREEN after the fix. Two traps the proof handles explicitly: the pattern is line-ending tolerant (\r?\n) because this repo is cloned on Windows and an\n-only pattern would match nothing and pass vacuously; and comment lines are stripped before matching, because the WHY note above the fix necessarily quotes the very flag the test forbids. -
NOT fixed here (deliberately, and each still open):
- R-39's primary half — the agent re-applies on a change of the descriptor hash
(
manager.go~L235), but a hub credential re-issue leaves the descriptor byte-identical (sametoken_id, samefingerprint; only the side-table secret rotates) and bumps only the generation. So a converged agent still ignores a fresh secret. This wrapper fix means the apply now succeeds once the agent is made to re-apply; it does not make it re-apply. - The verify-loop read —
pbs: cannot read token secret … permission denied: the non-root agent reads/etc/pve/priv/storage/<id>.pwdirectly, a path it can only ever write through the root wrapper (/etc/pve/privis0700 root:www-data, and sudoers exposes onlycreate|reconcile|grant— there is no read verb). The loop is therefore permanently blind to the failure it exists to catch. Both ride the spec'd R-39 agent train.

v0.90.0 — agent train: guest RAM resize (R-24) + fast-tick-until-convergence (R-28) (2026-07-17)
MinAgent coupling: felhom-controller v0.143.0 gates its guest-memory-resize UI on this agent
(FeatureGuestMemoryResize, MinAgent 0.90.0). One train, one floor raise (Viktor's ruling).
Green: go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test ./... all pass.
- Item 1 — guest RAM resize (R-24, controller-direct) (
internal/localapi/guestmemory.go, new): a new self-scoped local-API surface —GET /guest/memory(current allocation, live usage, and the enforced bounds, all agent-computed in MB) andPOST /guest/memory(bounded resize). The agent is the security boundary: every bound is recomputed FRESH per request from a live read (the UI's numbers are decoration). Ruled bounds — min 2048 MB; max host_total − 2048 MB (host reserve); a SHRINK is refused below max(2048, usage + 512 MB) withbelow_usage_floor(stop apps first). Applies via the PVE APISetConfig— a live cgroup apply, no reboot (Phase-0 PROVEN on the nested demo box: maxmem moves with the guest running,/proc/meminforipples via lxcfs). Verify-after-apply: the new maxmem is re-read and must equal the target before success is claimed (a pending/reboot outcome is a 502, never a false success). Refusals return a machinecode(below_min/above_max/below_usage_floor)- fresh bounds at 412; SetConfig is never called on a refusal path. Single-flight per host. Optional
Options.Memory(nil → 503 "not configured"); a NEW narrowMemoryOpsinterface (does not touch the sharedGuestAPI). Wired inmain.gofrom the existing proxmox client. Memory only; cores stay observation.
- fresh bounds at 412; SetConfig is never called on a refusal path. Single-flight per host. Optional
- Item 2 — fast-tick-until-first-convergence (R-28) (
internal/fasttick/, new): the agent-plane immediacy SECONDARY. While ANY desired-state item is unapplied — most importantly the pre-tunnel WG-registration window a hub poke cannot reach — it pulses the SAME out-of-band report trigger the watchdog/poke use, every 30 s, and self-disarms emergently the instant everything converges. State-based by ruling: nothing to journal, no timer to leak. Four cached sources (no exec/network per tick): desired-generation == 0 (never fetched); reconcileLastResultactionable drift (Planned − Pending > 0— a destructivepending_signatureis EXPECTED, excluded); pbsdrwaiting_secretONLY (the LOUDconsumed_failed/verify_failedare excluded so a stuck box never hammers); wgtunnel block-desired-but-not-operational. Supporting seams:reconcile.Engine.LastResult()(mutex-recorded per pass) andwgtunnel.Manager.TunnelConvergence()(cached snapshot refreshed at each Apply — the fast-tick never execswg/systemctl). A perma-unconverged box fast-ticks at ~2 small reports/min (bounded, documented; timers were deliberately rejected). - Guests-0/0 (diagnosis passenger): REFUTED the pool-membership hypothesis on the live nested box —
guest 9201 IS a pool member, the agent token sees it (VM.Audit comes from the
/pool/felhomgrant), hub reports 1/1. The observed 0/0 was the legitimate pre-provision reporting window (no guest existed yet); the existingPoolAddVMIDre-assert (bringup.go:498) already covers the known restore-over-existing edge (campaign-2 R2). Item 2's fast-tick is exactly the window's mitigation. No code change. - Tests + red-proofs (run-fail-restore): localapi memory (grow/shrink, the three refusals each with
a SetConfig-count == 0 assertion, cross-guest 403, fresh-bounds-per-request, verify-not-reflected
502, nil-config 503) — red-proofs (i) floor guard removed → below_usage_floor fails; (ii) max guard
removed → above_max fails. fasttick (pulse-while-unconverged, silent-when-converged, the ruled
disarm-on-convergence, full-channel non-blocking drop, first-reason) — red-proof (iii) always-pulse →
the silent + disarm tests fail.
Engine.LastResulteffect + pre-first-run ok=false. All restored green.
v0.89.0 — agent train: PBS-DR self-grant (R-22) + escrow config live-reload + agent-plane poke listener (2026-07-16)
Three bundled agent-plane items. Green: go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test ./... all pass.
- Item 1 — pbsdr self-grant (R-22, closes the F4 root cause from
tests/VALIDATION-n100) (internal/pbsdr/manager.go): on a NON-DEFAULT PBS storage id the agent token holds no ACL on/storage/<id>yet, so the reconcile tick's token-auth pre-checkStorageEntry(GET/storage/<id>) 403s and — pre-fix — aborted BEFORE the root-run wrappergrantthat creates that very ACL: a permanent self-deadlock that bit every legacy/descriptor-provisioned id (the demo'sfelhom-offsite). Fix: on anIsForbiddenpre-check error ONLY, runfelhom-pbs-apply grant <id>now (root, no secret, no pre-existing entry —pveum acl modifyon a path is unconditional), re-read once, then flow the normal adoption/create path. The pre-check is KEPT (once the ACL exists it short-circuits the happy path cheaply); every other error stays transient. Grant-then-still-failing surfacesverify_failedloudly, never a silent retry storm. Red-proof:TestSelfGrant_PreCheck403DoesNotAbortBeforeGrant(fake 403 on the pre-check → pre-fix never reaches the grant, calls=[] → FAIL; fixed → self-grant + converge, no secret consumed). - Item 2 — escrow config live-reload (
internal/localapi/escrow_ceremony.go,cmd/felhom-agent/main.go): the pbsdr bridge seedsescrow.pbs_storage_idinto agent.json on DR convergence, but/escrow/preflightread a daemon-start snapshot and stayed red until a service restart. New late-boundEscrowCeremonyConfig.CurrentPBSStorageIDresolver (mirrors the existingDRConfigured func() boolpattern) re-reads config from disk at preflight time — exactly what the ceremony subprocess itself loads, so the row flips green in-process, no restart. Falls back to the boot snapshot on read error / all-env config. Red-proof:TestEscrowPreflight_PBSStorageIDLiveReload(seed after boot → pre-fix stays red → FAIL). - Item 3 — agent-plane poke listener (Direction-2a,
SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16) (newinternal/poke,internal/wgtunnel.LoadAssignedAddr,cmd/felhom-agent/main.go,internal/hub/loop.go): a CONTENTLESS UDP poke relayed hub → ep0 forced-command → wg0-origin → this listener fires ONE immediate desired-state cycle (the hub control loop's out-of-band report trigger — the SAME channel the storage watchdog uses; fan-in, cap-1 coalescing). The socket binds EXCLUSIVELY to the box's WG /32 (registered.json; never 0.0.0.0, never the LAN iface) on the fixed port 51822; payload is ignored entirely (a forged/replayed poke costs at most one extra debounced tick); leading-edge debounce (DebounceWindow) coalesces a burst into ≤1 tick. Enabled wheneverwg_tunnel.enabled; a lost poke is harmless (the 15-min cycle still reconciles). This is the FIRST concrete slice of the OOB/mutual-repair arc (R-13) — the listener+trigger only, nothing more. Red-proofs:TestBindConfinement(wildcard bind → bound to::→ FAIL) andTestDebounceCoalescesBurst(guard removed → 10 fires for 10 pokes → FAIL). Port registered in REUSE.md as a shared cross-repo constant (hub sender + ep0felhom-poke).
v0.88.0 — controller-driven escrow ceremony: --output=json + localapi job + one-shot R claim (2026-07-13)
The agent half of the customer-facing recovery-code wizard (controller v0.127.0; every mechanism validated by felhom.eu SPIKE-controller-escrow-2026-07-13 — PTY-under-no-TTY, fixed-argv sudoers 5/5 refusals, R pipe round-trip, env_reset, 2.3–2.4 s timings). Operator ruling F1 (2026-07-13): R transiting the CF tunnel once at display is an accepted, documented risk (threat-model paragraph in RUNBOOK-escrow-ceremony.md).
--output=jsonmachine mode (cmd/felhom-agent/main.go):runSelftestEscrowCreate's body extracted into the sharedescrowCeremony()core; text mode stays BYTE-IDENTICAL (banner, R block, exit codes 0/1/2, upload-fail-after-R order). json mode emits ONEescrow.CeremonyOutputobject on stdout (version 1: recovery_code, key_fingerprint, entropy_bits, blob/identity sizes, restic_pw_sealed, uploaded), every human line to stderr, no partial JSON on failure;--offline/--paperkeyare refused in json mode (print-oriented).- The ONE fixed argv (
internal/escrow/ceremony.go):escrow.CeremonyBinary+escrow.CeremonyArgs()— the single source shared by the localapi exec, the capability manifest entry, and (byte-identically) the newFELHOM_ESCROWsudoers alias (configs/felhom-agent.sudoers).TestEscrowCeremonyArgvPinned+TestManifestCoveredBySudoerstransitively lock runner == manifest == sudoers; never build the argv with flag helpers, never normalize--→-(spike §2.2). - localapi ceremony endpoints (
internal/localapi/escrow_ceremony.go,withGuest-wrapped):POST /escrow/ceremony(single-flight 409; detached job, 60 s timeout;sudo -n+ the fixed argv; stdout parsed then zeroed — SECRET-BEARING, never logged),GET /escrow/ceremony/status(non-secret summary + stderr-tail failure detail ≤500; R structurally absent from the job struct),POST /escrow/ceremony/claim(ONE-SHOT: 200{recovery_code}once → holder zeroed; 410 on re-claim; TTL 10 min →unclaimed_void, active AfterFunc belt + lazy check),GET /escrow/preflight(storage id, DR tier, age, hub target, staged-secret informational,sudo -n -lgrant list-probe). Crash-safety is IN-MEMORY BY DESIGN — an agent restart loses R safely (re-run supersedes); no journal, deliberately. - Capability
escrow-ceremony(Critical,GatedBy: pbs_drEXPLICIT — non-pbsdr name by decision): list-mode probe of the shared argv; inactive (never red) while the DR tier is off. - Tests: one-shot claim + double-claim 410, TTL void + zeroed holder, R-substring absent from every status/snapshot payload (incl. the serialized job struct), single-flight, supersede on re-run, failure taxonomy (exit/unparseable/version), preflight truth table, argv pin. §10 red-proofs demonstrated (see felhom.eu REPORT).
v0.87.0 — SystemDisks device-mapper walk: legacy-boot hosts get a working drive wizard (IA finding 2, MEDIUM) (2026-07-13)
On a legacy-boot PVE (LVM root, no mounted ESP) SystemDisks resolved NOTHING — wholeDiskOf
stops at /dev/mapper/pve-root — so the all-system fail-safe classified EVERY disk system and
the drive wizard could never offer a candidate (the IA validation's hot-added 5 GB disk stayed
invisible on the drill box). Operator ruling 2026-07-13: walk the root's backing device through
/sys/block/<dev>/slaves recursively down to physical disks (dm AND md; topology, never VG
names); those + any mounted-ESP holder are system; the all-system fail-safe returns to being the
WALK-FAILURE error case only. SAFETY DIRECTION: the outcome made impossible is a root-backing
disk classified candidate — per-branch conservatism means ANY unresolvable slave fails the whole
walk (ok=false → all-system, the unchanged code path).
physicalDisksOf+walkSlaves(internal/storage/role.go): symlink-canonicalize → fast-pathwholeDiskOf(raw disks/partitions, unchanged) → recursive sysfs slaves walk for virtual devices, with cycle/depth guard; non-/devsources (ZFS datasets, NFS, overlay) stay unwalkable → fail-safe. Partition slaves resolve via the existing regexes (sda3 → /dev/sda); exotic partition names the regexes don't cover (e.g.md0p1) fail the walk → fail-safe.HostReader.BlockSlaves(name)— the ONE new seam method (root-free: sysfs is world-readable): slaves list + hasDir; production reads/sys/block/<name>/slaves; every test fake mirrors it. Live-probed (§3): physical disks carry an EMPTY slaves dir — hasDir alone is not resolution; a virtual device with an empty/unlistable slaves dir fails the walk.- Behavior deltas: legacy-boot LVM hosts now resolve (
{root's physical parents}, ok=true) — the wizard lives (still behind the untouched data-bearing/claim guards); EFI(+LVM) hosts are byte-identical (ESP and walk agree on the same disk — §3 felhom-pve transcript + fixture); md-raid roots mark BOTH members system. NEW protective delta: a host whose ROOT topology cannot be fully grounded is now all-system even if an ESP resolved (pre-fix it silently trusted the ESP alone; ruling's per-disk conservatism). - Tests (
role_walk_test.go, fake-sysfs fixtures mirroring the §3 transcripts): the SIGNATURE table (root-backing disk(s) ALWAYS in the system set across legacy-LVM / md-raid / EFI+raw / EFI+LVM / nested dm-on-md — never weaken), dead-wizard-lives (A), dangling-slave fail-safe through the REAL sysKnown=false path (D), cycle guard, empty-slaves. Red-proofs recorded: A pre-fix resolver → dead wizard reproduced; B walk-returns-dm-node → SIGNATURE VIOLATION naming the missing disk; D conservatism removed → "scratch classified candidate while walk incomplete". - Format/mkfs paths, data-bearing guards, wizard UI: UNTOUCHED. MinAgent/controller coupling: none (agent-internal classification).
v0.86.0 — DR-tier-by-default: capability inactive state + F-3 provision-parent ownership (2026-07-12)
Agent half of the DR-tier-by-default batch (DRILL-day0-vm-2026-07-12; operator decisions: DR capability is BAKED on every install, activation is a hub flag, disabled ≠ degraded).
- Capability
inactivestate (internal/capability): a third status next to ok/degraded — a config-GATED capability whose plumbing is HEALTHY (binary present, sudo granted) but whose feature is off reportsinactive/ reasondisabled by configuration. The 3pbsdr-*entries are gated (GatedBy=GatePBSDR, applied by the stable name prefix inManifest()); broken plumbing (binary missing / grant denied) stays DEGRADED even with the gate off — an un-migrated pre-v1.15.0 box must never look deliberately disabled.Summarizecounts only real degraded (inactive never error-logs); the startup self-check logs aninactivecount and now runs AFTER the pbsdr gate wiring so its snapshot matches the first report. pbsdr.Manager.DRConfigured()— the gate's answer: true when the last-seen descriptor was enabled (any live state exceptdisabled); before the first desired-state fetch it falls back to the persisted converged marker, so an applied box never flaps to inactive across a restart.- F-3 — provision parent-dir ownership (
internal/provision/backhalf.go): a ROOT-run provision (the Day-0 one-shot) now chowns the just-createdguests/+guests/<vmid>/PARENT dirs to the state-dir's owner (chown --reference, NON-recursive — the bootstrap leaf stays the mapped guest-root's). Previously they were left root:root 0700 → the non-root daemon's lanresolver got "permission denied" (drill live-fix now also applied to felhom-pve, which had the same latent state; Peti's host unreachable — deferred). A daemon-run (non-root) provision skips it (geteuidseam). - Tests + red-proofs: gate-off-healthy→inactive / gate-off-broken→degraded / gate-on→ok / exactly-pbsdr-gated; DRConfigured lifecycle (incl. marker-across-restart + disabled-wins); root-run parent chown issued, non-root not, never recursive. All three mutations proven red.
- Shipping note:
configs/felhom-pbs-applyalready lives in this repo — host-install v1.15.0 (felhom.eu) now ships it like the mkfs/selfupdate wrappers (drill F-7); no publish change here.
v0.85.0 — the boot/recovery plane: F12 ordering-cycle fix + F11/F10/F9/F2/F1 + appliance self-heal (2026-07-12)
Fixes the findings CAMPAIGN-3 (felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-3-2026-07-11.md) raised
around the NAS automount lifecycle — the data plane held, the reboot/recovery plane did not.
- F12 (CRITICAL) — boot ordering cycle.
internal/storage/netmount.go: BOTH rendered units dropAfter=/Wants=network-online.target. The.mountkeeps_netdev(the correct, sufficient network ordering — systemd classes it remote-fs); the.automountgets NO network relation (a trigger needs none, and it must stay orderable before local-fs without dragging the network into the transaction). The literal ordering had closed the cycle networking→local-fs→automount→network-online→networking, which systemd broke by deleting an arbitrary job — one boot lost networking entirely (host dark 7 h), the next lost the automount. Installed-unit migration:MigrateNetworkUnits— a general template-drift reconcile (SHA-256 content compare of each marker-owned unit vs a fresh render of its reconstructed spec; rewrite + one batcheddaemon-reload; idempotent). Runs at daemon startup before the reassert sweep and at the head ofEnsureNetworkMount, so pre-0.85 units carrying the cycle are repaired, not just future adds. - F11 (HIGH) — read the right unit.
internal/storage/netreassert.gonetReassertClassify: the re-arm decision is driven ONLY by the host/proc/mountsfstype at the mountpoint. Active nfs4/cifs → skip-active (inherited by fresh namespaces); anything else → re-arm. The.automountunit's own state is never consulted (an armed trigger always reports active — the mis-skip trap). - F10 (CRITICAL) — re-arm for real. A
.mount/.automountleftfailed/start-limit-hit (the campaign's unexport→idle-timeout→access×5) isreset-failedFIRST (new sudoers verb) — without it theenable --nowis refused by the start limit and the share stays dead across every boot. The failed-state read is unprivileged (systemctl is-failed, seam-injected). - F9 (HIGH) — say what you did. The pass enumerates by marker-owned unit files on disk (not enablement/runtime state) and logs an INFO verdict line for EVERY share (reasserted / reset-failed+rearmed / skip-active / skip-foreign / error) — an empty-looking sweep over N shares is now impossible.
- F2/F1 (LOW) — zero residue.
RemoveNetworkMount(and, via the same path, every verify-fail rollback) reset-failed's the pair before removing the files (nonot-found failedresidue) andrmdirs the now-empty mountpoint (F1 — the campaign's 10 stub-shaped leftovers). rmdir ONLY: a non-empty dir is left in place with a WARN (fail-safe; neverrm -rf). - The hook can never take a guest down (F10/rc255).
cmd/felhom-agent/main.gorunHookPhase: every guest-hook phase runs recover-wrapped under a hard timeout and returns cleanly (a panic → logged to the PVE task log, swallowed; an overrun → abandoned). The installed wrapper snippet no longerexecs — it runs the binary as a child,|| true, andexit 0(the shell belt). - Appliance-mode node self-heal (Part 6). New
internal/selfhealpackage: a minimal check/remedy registry gated ondeployment_mode. One heal ships — host networking recovery (F12-class defense in depth): Healthy ⇔ networking.service active AND a default route; the remedy (systemctl start networking.service, new sudoers verb, ≤3 attempts, 10/30/60 s backoff, terminal give-up logged) runs ONLY ondeployment_mode:"appliance". A byo host runs the check + WARNs; the remedy is structurally unreachable (the Manager gates before any exec). Absent/unknown mode → byo (fail-safe). Give-up is log-only (no natural HostReport field; the report schema is out of scope) — the ERROR lands in the always-DEBUG applog ring for a hub bundle-pull. - Config: top-level
deployment_mode(internal/config,+FELHOM_AGENT_DEPLOYMENT_MODEoverlay,IsAppliance()fail-safe-to-byo). NOT overloaded ontoPrivileged.Mode. - Sudoers (loud, per the no-widening rule): two narrow additions —
systemctl reset-failed -- mnt-felhom*(F10) andrmdir /mnt/felhom-drives/*(F1, fail-safe: rmdir refuses a non-empty dir) in FELHOM_NETMOUNT;systemctl start networking.serviceas the new FELHOM_SELFHEAL alias (appliance self-heal; the grant alone cannot harm — starting networking is what boot should have done; the remedy is ALSO code-gated on appliance). Capability manifest gains the three representative probes. - Tests: F12 render (no network-online,
_netdevpresent) + reconcile (drift rewritten once, idempotent, batched reload, round-trip) + foreign-unit ignore; reassert fstype table with the automount-state-ignored red-proof, reset-failed+rearm, per-unit verdict count; hook rc-0 under panic/timeout; zero-residue (reset-failed + rmdir, never rm -rf); selfheal state machine + byo-never-invokes + absent⇒byo. All green.
v0.84.0 — ReassertNetworkMounts: NAS automount survives guest reboots (RCA fix 1) (2026-07-11)
Agent half of the RCA fix pair (controller v0.117.0). Source:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/AUDIT-nas-cwa-rca-2026-07-11.md — a fresh guest namespace inherits
REAL submounts (ext4/nfs4) but NOT an idle autofs trigger, so after any guest reboot an idle NAS
share silently degrades to a local stub inside the guest. The heal (re-create the automount → the
fresh trigger-mount event propagates live into running guests) was live-proven in the RCA
remediation; this release makes it automatic.
internal/storage/netreassert.goSudoHostOps.ReassertNetworkAutomounts: per configured network mount, the §8 decision table — real nfs/nfs4/cifs mounted → skip (inherited);autofstrigger at the path → stop + enable --now the.automount(existing FELHOM_NETMOUNT sudoers verbs; there is NO restart grant); neither → skip (removed/orphan states owned by add/remove). Idempotent; per-share errors never stop the pass. Unit enumeration factored intonetworkUnitEntries()(shared withListNetworkMounts, behavior unchanged).internal/localapi/netreassert.goServer.ReassertNetworkMounts: the daemon leg — runs the host-global pass once, then best-effort verifies each RUNNING guest actually sees each share path (GuestSeesMount; the RCA's masking lesson). Type-asserted capability (the leanNetworkStorageOpsinterface and its fakes stay unchanged — the main.goReassertEnrolledMountspattern). Wired at agent startup afterReassertGuestBinds; deliberately NOT in the 20 s ticker (an idle trigger is healthy and must not be churned).internal/guesthook/netreassert.go+PhasePostStart: the hook leg — PVE runs the hookscript as root, soguest-hook <vmid> post-startre-arms triggers with DIRECT systemctl and verifies viaGuestSeesPath(hook-process mirror of GuestSeesMount). Non-fatal by contract (stderr → PVE task log; exit 0 always); 30 s bound. The installed wrapper snippet already forwards all phases — no snippet re-install needed.- Tests + red-proofs: §8 table (red-proof: always-rearm shape → FAIL "nfs → rearmed, want skip-active" — the live-mount churn the table prevents); rearm emits EXACTLY stop+enable-now on the right unit; active mount → ZERO systemctl calls; idempotent double-pass; hook wiring (red-proof: PhasePostStart case removed → FAIL "got []"); daemon leg verifies running guests only; invisible-share verify is WARN-only (non-fatal).
v0.83.0 — observability pass: always-DEBUG capture ring + GET /debug/logs + heartbeat log-pull + gap-fill sweep (2026-07-11)
Agent half of the cross-repo observability task (controller v0.116.0 + hub v0.46.0). Motivating
incident: a refused NAS verify on an info-level box left NOTHING readable remotely — the agent
logged only to host journald and the new features emitted few lines.
- Capture layer (
internal/log):applog.Newnow returns(logger, *Ring)— a slog fan-out where stderr keeps the configured level (journald unchanged) and a ~1000-entry ring handler is FIXED atLevelDebug, so flow detail exists for remote pulls without a config flip. The ring is an io.Writer fed by a stdlib TextHandler; entries are parsed (time/level/message-verbatim). Red-proof: ring gated at the emit level → capture-at-info test FAILS ("ring holds 1, want 2"). GET /debug/logs(local API, same token-auth/self-scoping wrap as siblings): the ring as JSON{entries, total};?raw=1plain text; 503 when unwired. Plus a request-level DEBUG middleware (method/path/status/duration — never bodies) wrapping the whole mux.- Heartbeat log-pull (the report-channel logtail.go pattern mirrored): the control envelope
gains
log_tail_requested: bool(additive); when set, the NEXT heartbeat carrieslog_tail: {collected_at, lines[]}(newest-kept, 128 KB cap). Consume-once both ends: local pending drains onto the carrying push; a FAILED push leaves the hub request pending → the next envelope re-arms (retry proven in tests; red-proof: drain removed → tail ships every cycle → FAIL). Serving a pull logsoperator log pull served(INFO — customer-visible transparency). - Gap-fill sweep (entry, decisions, outcome+duration, errors): netverify (job start, trigger outcome, /proc/mounts verdict, journal byte-count, classification code, rollback outcome, duration), netstorage add (pre-probe pass verdict, creds staged/removed — path only), netmount Ensure/Remove (per-unit install/enable/remove-step results), signedjobs (jobs fetched ids+ duration, op received class/host/expiry — never signatures), selfupdate executor (invariants passed, download sha-match+duration), disks (assign/eject/decommission outcome INFO), ReassertGuestBinds (pass summary), controller-swap (pre-pull verify, negative health verdict), desired syncer + hub loop (per-exchange DEBUG with durations).
- S7 log-sequence smoke: a full fake NAS add at emit level info must leave the ordered phase markers in the ring (red-proof: dropping the /proc/mounts verdict line → FAIL naming the phase).
- No new sudoers grants, no journald scraping, no streaming — pull-only. Demo-deploy only — NOT published (Peti stays 0.81.0; this reaches him with the next publish train).
v0.82.0 — local-API version channel: X-Felhom-Agent-Version on every response (2026-07-11)
The controller's capability detection upgrades from route-probing to version comparison: the
local-API mux is wrapped so EVERY response (any route, any status, including auth failures) carries
X-Felhom-Agent-Version = the build version (localapi.Options.AgentVersion, wired from
main.version). The controller (v0.115.0) reads it passively from ordinary traffic and compares it
against a per-feature MinAgent table; header-less (≤0.81.0) agents keep working — the controller
falls back to the v0.114.0 route probe unchanged. No new routes, no envelope changes, no sudoers
changes. Test: header asserted on authed/unauthed/404 responses (red-proof: wrap dropped → fails);
empty version emits NO header. Demo-deploy only — NOT published (Peti stays 0.81.0 = the live
fallback path).
v0.81.0 — NAS verify-before-commit: retry=0 + detached verify job + journal classification (2026-07-11)
Implements the agent half of the "NAS verify-before-commit" task on the SPIKE-nas-verify-2026-07-11
evidence (felhom.eu/documentation/audits/, commit b57f6c1). POST /netstorage/add no longer succeeds
blind — a bogus share can no longer sit at "Készenlét" forever.
retry=0in the production NFS option string (netmount.go mountOptions; Q4-vi): a dead-NAS on-demand access now fails clean in ~4 s (ENODEV) instead of wedging the accessing app until systemd's 90 s start cap; verify failures classify as "No route to host" instead of a diagnostic-free timeout. SMB string unchanged (retry is a mount.nfs option).

v0.80.0 — PBS DR tier SLICE 2: the apply-bridge (2026-07-10)
Consumes hub v0.44.0's pbs_dr desired-state descriptor (slice 1): hub tick → the box grows the
pbs storage entry + K, hands-free. Laws encoded (spike 00afadc + the offsite bridge precedent),
each red-proof-verified (REPORT.md):
internal/pbsdr— the bridge (wgtunnel Loop shape; raw-consumer seam; report stanzapbs_dr). Flow: adoption probe first (existing healthy entry → grant + marker, NO consume; tenancy identity is entry-owned — a descriptor naming a different namespace never repoints a live entry: the demo's manualfelhom-offsitecase) → fresh path: verify-pin-BEFORE-consume (bare TLS dial pinned to the descriptor fingerprint,pbs.ProbeFingerprint) → consume (POST /api/v1/hosts/{id}/pbs/consume-token, PLURAL /hosts/ — the slice-1 route; typedErrNoPBSSecret) → wrappercreate(secret on STDIN;--encryption-key autogen→ K born; .enc/ .pw placed intobackup.pbs_secret_dirwhen overridden — the spike §4 escrow-path flag) →grant(the Part-0-evidenced dual-grant, exactly) → post-apply active probe → seedescrow.pbs_storage_id(bare ceremony one-liner; an operator-set different value is never clobbered; unknown config keys preserved) → descriptor-hash marker.

v0.79.0 — SLICE 3: escrow upload carries sha256 of the sealed restic password (2026-07-09)
The hub-verified escrow auto-confirm chain, agent third: the escrow-create ceremony now records WHICH offsite repo password the blob covers — as a non-reversible sha256 (a 256-bit random secret's hash is safe to store/serve; the password itself is never logged or uploaded).
internal/escrow.HashResticPassword— the CANONICAL hasher: sha256 hex over the TRIMMED password string (exactly the valueAttachResticPasswordseals into the blob). Pinned cross-repo test vector (TestHashResticPassword_PinnedVector, same vector asserted in felhom-controller) so the two hashers can never drift silently.cmd/felhom-agent:escrowUploadRequestgainsrestic_pw_sha256,omitempty— set only when a staged password was folded in (no staged file → field OMITTED → the hub stores NULL → the controller stays pending; correct, the blob doesn't cover the key).TestEscrowUploadContractupdated (the hub mirrors it in the same commit-pair) + asserts the omitted-when-unstaged behavior.- Ceremony flow (create / self-verify / R-banner / staged-file wipe) otherwise untouched.
v0.78.0 — fork-4 hygiene: DELETE /escrow/stage-secret (staged-secret wipe) (2026-07-09)
Part of the offsite-provisioning hardening bundle (pairs with controller v0.107.0 + hub v0.39.0). The staged restic repo password was wiped only by the escrow-create ceremony; a confirm WITHOUT a fresh ceremony (the password already escrowed — the live e2e's Option A) left the 0600 staged file behind indefinitely.
internal/localapi:DELETE /escrow/stage-secret(withGuest) — removes the staged file (+ any stale.tmppartial). Idempotent: absent file → clean 200{removed:false}. The controller calls it wheneverEscrowStateflips toescrowed. No value ever logged (nothing to log — it's a removal).- Test: stage → wipe (file GONE) → re-wipe idempotent → 401 unauthenticated.
v0.77.0 — fork-4: escrow the offsite restic repo password under R (2026-07-09)
Makes the restic-offsite repo password recoverable at DR by riding the existing customer-recovery-code (R)
zero-knowledge escrow (age-under-R, alongside the IdentityBundle), validated by
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-restic-password-custody-2026-07-09.md. Additive; the PBS-K escrow
path is untouched.
internal/escrow/identity.go:IdentityBundlegainsResticRepoPassword(restic_repo_password,omitempty) — rides the existingWrapIdentityBundle/UnwrapIdentityBundleage-under-R path (self-verified byescrow.Create). AddedAttachResticPassword(mirrorsAttachWGKey),StagedResticPasswordPath, andWipeStagedResticPassword. Pre-fork-4 blobs lack the field and CANNOT be retro-fitted (R never retained) — the controller's atomicity gate ensures no offsite ciphertext exists until the key is escrowed.internal/localapi:POST /escrow/stage-secret(withGuest,scopedFromBody) transiently stages the controller-pushed restic password (0600, atomic tmp+rename, never logged — field name only, value never echoed), overwritten on re-push. Stage path injectable viaOptions.EscrowStagePath(default the canonicalStagedResticPasswordPath) for testability.cmd/felhom-agent/main.go(runSelftestEscrowCreate): the escrow-create ceremony auto-injects the staged password into theIdentityBundle(mirrors the WG-key auto-inject) and wipes the staging file after a successful create. The ceremony stays operator-invoked (--selftest=escrow-create).- Tests:
IdentityBundleround-trip carriesResticRepoPasswordbyte-exact + not-in-blob + wrong-R fails closed;AttachResticPassword(missing/present/empty); stage endpoint stages 0600 + non-secret ack + cross-guest 403 + value-not-in-log. - NOT yet live-validated — the supervised escrow ceremony (enable→stage→escrow-create→confirm→gated run) is the operator-run follow-up.
v0.76.0 — restore-test full-fidelity verification (GL-5b / go-live G12) (2026-07-08)
Closes GL-5 finding #2's mirror image: the restore-test's live-source-config bind-override path tripped the same PVE drop-unlisted-mountpoints rule DR did, so it boot-verified scratch guests WITHOUT their storage mpN — weaker verification than it claimed, and GL-6 will lean on it. 0.75.0 was superseded unpublished; this is the Day-0 manifest bump target.
- Archive-derived params: the restore-test now derives its restore params exactly like DR
bring-up —
ExtractArchiveConfig+drRestoreOverrides(the ARCHIVE is the object under test, not any live guest's current config): rootfs explicit, every storage mpN passed through (its content genuinely extracted — full fidelity; the added runtime IS the verification), structural binds → throwaway stand-ins. Unreadable archive config / unknown bind topology → refuse UP FRONT (never restore a partial guest to "verify" it). - Mount-parity assert (the non-hollow core): pre-start, the restored scratch's mpN set is
compared against the archive's — a missing, mispathed, undersized, or extra mpN FAILS the test
naming the delta. PVE rule (b) can never regress into a green light again.
MountParity("ok"|"mismatch") +MountInventoryride the result and the hub wire record (additive keys — an older hub ignores them). - Dead code deleted with its tests:
bindMountOverrides,archiveVMID+ the volid regexes (the restore-test was their only caller; a reachable dead lookalike is how the next bug happens).throwawayVolumeOverride/rootfsSizeGB/mountPathOflive on underdrRestoreOverrides. - DR bring-up, 4d, KeepMAC, grows, caps: untouched (bringup.go had zero line changes — the §13 DR re-run trigger did not fire).
- Tests: Scenario A (exact 5-param derivation from the archive + parity ok + inventory + teardown),
B (dropped mp0 → FAIL naming it, never started, still torn down; RED-PROOF: with the parity
assert removed the run passes silently — run→fail→revert), C (extract-failure + unknown-topology
refusals, no restore attempted), D (provision/DR bring-up tests all green, byte-untouched);
mountParitypure-function matrix (parity/missing/mispathed/undersized/extra/trivial). - Live validation + publish: REPORT.md (full-fidelity runtime measured vs the ~3m data-less shape;
AGENT_VERSION/AGENT_SHA256recorded verbatim for the operator's manifest bump).
v0.75.0 — DR bring-up structural bind overrides + real-bind swap (GL-5 / go-live G8) (2026-07-08)
Implements the verdict of felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-dr-bindmount-source-2026-07-07.md:
bring-up -mode dr of a customer archive FAILED outright because the archive carries the two
structural host-bind mountpoints (mp8 parent bind, mp9 bootstrap bind) that a pct restore under
the privsep token cannot recreate ("restoring 'mp8' to bind mount is only possible for root") —
bring-up passed no MountOverrides. Provision was never affected (the golden has no mp8/mp9; the
back-half adds them) — that asymmetry was the bug.
- DR restore overrides (
internal/reconcile/bringup.go): ModeDRGuestLoss synthesizes throwaway 1G-volume overrides for the two PLATFORM-CONSTANT mpN (mirroring backhalf.go's values; the spike's whole point — no archive parse for the LAYOUT) via the sharedthrowawayVolumeOverrideformat helper (extracted frombindMountOverrides; the restore-test's is-a-bind FILTER reads live configs, which DR by definition has none of). ModeProvision passes nil — regression-contract test. - LIVE-DISCOVERED: PVE's explicit-params restore is ALL-OR-NOTHING (neither half was in the
spike — it never ran an override restore). (a) mpN params without an explicit
rootfs→ HTTP 500 "mount points configured, but 'rootfs' not set" (same rule restoretest.go:211 documents). (b) Mountpoints NOT named in the params are silently DROPPED — the first live run came up boot+running WITHOUT its mp0/mp1 data volumes (2m56s; the customer's world did not ride along). Fix: NEWClient.ExtractArchiveConfig(GET/nodes/{node}/vzdump/extractconfig— answers 200 under the scoped agent token, verified live; PBS keys stay server-side, the spike's candidate-1 rejection holds) +drRestoreOverridesderives the COMPLETE param set from the archive's own embedded config: explicit rootfs, every storage-backed mpN passed through (size + path + backup preserved → vzrestore extracts its content), structural binds → throwaways. Unknown bind mpN / unparseable size / unreadable config → clean refusal before any restore. Snapshot sections never shadow the current config. - Step 4d — real-bind swap (DR only, pre-start): mp9 bootstrap host dir created (idempotent —
a same-host guest-loss still has bootstrap.json there, untouched), then mp8/mp9 set to the REAL
binds via the host runner (
pct set— bind mounts are root@pam-only, hence NOT the API; sudoers already allowlists both shapes), one slot per call so a failure names the exact mpN and rolls back per the committed/launched envelope (C2 — never a silent half-wired success). The displaced throwaway volumes (PVE parks them asunusedN) are deleted via one config PUT (delete=); a scoped-token refusal logs the residue LOUDLY + warns in the result instead of widening privileges. NEWproxmox.GuestConfig.Unused(). - Engine seam:
EngineOptions.HostRunner+StateDir(DR refuses up front on an API-only engine); the bring-up selftest wires the same ExecRunner shape as the back-half and removes the scratch vmid's mp9 host dir at teardown (never a real drive's bind source). - Tests (non-hollow): Scenario A exact-override + exact-swap-command + unusedN-delete asserts; provision-nil regression; C2 mid-swap rollback; C3 older-archive-without-mp9; DR-without-runner refusal; extract-failure refusal; 403-residue warn; archive rootfs parse (snapshot sections never shadow). Red-proofs: override synthesis reverted → A FAILS; unconditional overrides → B FAILS (both run→fail→revert).
- Live validation (campaign-2-precedent scratch DR into vmid 9310 from a real 9201 local archive,
auto-teardown, guest 9201 untouched): pre-teardown
pct configshows mp0 200G + mp1 50G restored (7m23s — content genuinely extracted), mp8/mp9 = the REAL binds (exact back-half values), rootfs 32G explicit, ZERO unusedN; boot+running; teardown clean incl. the scratch mp9 host dir. On v0.74.0 the same op failed at the restore POST. Full evidence: REPORT.md.
v0.74.0 — pool membership re-asserted after restore-over-existing (campaign-2 R2) (2026-07-07)
Closes campaign-2 finding R2 (felhom.eu/documentation/tests/CAMPAIGN-2-2026-07-07.md). Pool
membership is what lets the pool-scoped FelhomAgentGuest token reach a guest (the grant applies only
to pool MEMBERS). pct restore --pool sets membership at CREATE, but a restore over an existing
VMID (the host-loss/finale path) never re-applies it — and no code re-added a guest to the pool — so
every destroy-restore silently dropped membership, and the NEXT --selftest=restore-test/DR 403'd on
VM.Audit/VM.Allocate. That empty-pool state is the true root cause of the campaign's "R1" (the
bind-mount restore failure was a symptom: with no config-read, restore-test's existing, correct
bind-mount neutralization never ran).
Client.PoolAddVMID(ctx, pool, vmid)(internal/proxmox/mutate.go):PUT /pools/{pool}vms={vmid}— PVE-additive (merge, not replace), idempotent (already-member swallowed), needsPool.Allocate(the token has it). Sync — no UPID.- bring-up re-asserts (
internal/reconcile/bringup.go): after liveness is proven, ifspec.Pool != "", callPoolAddVMID. A pool-add hiccup is surfaced as a LOUD warning +res.StartWarningsbut must NOT flip a healthy running guest's verdict (membership matters for the NEXT op). - B3 (scratch teardown 403) — diagnosed, no code:
restoretest.goalready passesPool: DefaultPoolfor scratch restores, so the campaign'sVM.Allocateteardown 403 was a CASCADE of the bind-mount restore failing (half-built guest outside any pool), not an independent gap. A re-run on the healed pool confirms. - Tests:
PoolAddVMIDPUT shape + idempotency + real-error-surfaces + validation (pool_test.go); bring-up re-asserts whenPool!=""(red-proof: pre-fix no-call → FAIL, demonstrated), no-pool→no-call, pool-add failure warns-but-passes (liveness wins, guest kept). Role/ACL untouched — the fault was membership, not privileges.
v0.73.0 — F2 mount-role fallback: enrolled user-data drives are ejectable/decommissionable again (2026-07-06)
Closes campaign finding F2 (felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-nomercy-2026-07-06.md +
RERUN addendum). roleForMountPath (internal/localapi/disks.go) resolved a mount's protection role
ONLY from the PVE storage view (Observe), but a bind-mounted RAW enrolled user-data drive is not
a PVE storage → no MountPath match → fail-safe RoleSystem → the eject/decommission role gates
403'd every user-data drive in the standard topology (journal: where=/mnt/teszt_enroll role=system). Customers could not eject or decommission their own drives.
- Fallback mirrors
durableIDForMount's Impl-2b: after the MountPath loop misses (on a SUCCESSFUL Observe), resolve the mount's backing device from the host mount table and classify device-keyed — non-/devsource (NAS) → system; device on the same whole disk as a KNOWN target → THAT target's role (containment, via newstorage.SameWholeDisk, whole-disk granularity so a protected disk can't be ejected through this path); elseRoleForRawDevice. Fail-safe preserved: an Observe error returns system BEFORE the fallback (a blind containment pass could label a backup drive user-data — permissive), and a mount-table-read failure or an absent/NAS mount → system. - Scope: only
roleForMountPath; gates,deviceRole,DecommissionExecutor,classify.go,ReassertGuestBindsuntouched; thedeviceRole/roleForMountPathunification is deferred. - Tests (
f2_role_fallback_test.go): A1 ejectable + decommission effects; B1 containment→403; B2 system-disk→403; C1/C2 fail-safe; C3 Observe-error skips the fallback. Three red-proofs demonstrated (pre-fix→A1 FAIL, containment-skip→B1 FAIL, fallback-on-error→C3 FAIL). Existing RoleGated/ Decommission tests green unmodified.
v0.72.0 — OOB operator access: rendered operator /32 + dedicated felhom-sshd + port-adaptive belt + oob health (TASK H1) (2026-07-05)
The agent half of the merged E1+H1 operator-SSH-access feature (hub half = felhom-hub v0.35.0).
Provenance: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-{felhom-sshd,oob-wg-operator-peer}-2026-07-05.md.
Live-validated on felhom-pve + the dev endpoint (both spikes' key probes re-run as acceptance).
- Operator /32 rendered into wg-felhom (
internal/wgtunnel/manager.gorenderConf/allowedIPsLine):oob_peer_ipfrom the desired-state block is appended to AllowedIPs, deterministically SORTED (byte-stable conf-hash — no per-tick flap). RENDERED, not a runtimewg set, so it survives the agent's self-heal ([OF-1]; live-proven: tunnel stopped → self-heal → operator SSH still works). - Dedicated felhom-sshd (
internal/felhomsshd/): a SECOND sshd on a claimed non-22 port ([8822,2222,8022,62222], LOUD-fail on exhaustion [SF-4]), own config/host-key/AuthorizedKeysFile (/etc/felhom-sshd/authorized_keys/%u, outside ~/.ssh [SF-3])/unit — COEXISTS with the customer's :22 (never touched). Config: render→sshd -t→reload (never restart-on-change [SF-2]); operator authorized_keys from the hub block;reset-failed-then-restart heal with a 10-min cooldown, NEVER restarting onto an invalid config.configs/felhom-sshd.serviceSAFE — noRuntimeDirectory=[SF-1]. - Port-adaptive belt (
internal/felhomsshd/belt.go+configs/felhom-oob.nft): a STATICinet felhom_oobtable; the agent mutates ONLY its SETS —@operator_ips+@ssh_port[trap 4] — so felhom-sshd's port is reachable ONLY from the operator/32overwg-felhom(off-tunnel + box↔box dropped at the host; :22 untouched). Idempotent; a nil/unfetched block never empties it (no operator lockout). - OOB health (
internal/felhomsshd/health.go): the additiveoobheartbeat stanza (felhom_sshd_active/port/reachable/config_invalid/operator_peer_configured/operator_key_configured/ wg_handshake_age_s) — reaches the hub over HTTPS even with felhom-sshd/tunnel down.reachable= a listener check (the belt blocks a dial);operator_*_configuredfrom persistent state (belt/authorized_keys), accurate immediately after a restart. - Sudoers:

v0.71.0 — management-plane break-glass: privsep-dir watchdog + mgmt_plane health (TASK G1) (2026-07-05)
Prerequisite for the felhom-sshd OOB feature (H1). Closes the lockout from
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-felhom-sshd-2026-07-05.md §8: a second sshd's
RuntimeDirectory=sshd removed the SHARED /run/sshd privsep dir and took the stock sshd on :22 down
too (sessions reset right after SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT) — a management lockout on a healthy box. Three
independent layers; this repo ships the host artifacts + the agent reporter (hub vault + surfacing are
the felhom.eu half).
- Host artifacts (
configs/, installed by felhom-host-install):felhom-privsep.tmpfiles(d /run/sshd 0755 root root -— layer 1, boot-persistent, owned by no unit's lifecycle);felhom-mgmt-watchdog.sh(layer 2 heal action — stat-first recreate/run/sshd,reset-failedssh ONLY whenfailed, write an RFC3339 heal-marker; NEVER restarts the stock sshd, NEVER touches a healthy dir — shellcheck-clean);.service(oneshot) +.timer(~60s,Persistent). The healer is agent-INDEPENDENT — it self-corrects with felhom-agent stopped (the whole point). No unit declaresRuntimeDirectory=(that IS the incident cause; the installer refuses any that does). - Go (
internal/mgmtplane/): a read-onlyReporter(os.Stat/run/sshd+ read the heal-marker + a short TCP dial to sshd:22) producing the additivemgmt_planeheartbeat stanza ({privsep_dir_ok, sshd_reachable, healed_recently, privsep_healed_at}—omitempty, the SelfUpdatePending precedent, no hub-schema change). Wired always-on viaCollector.SetMgmtPlaneReporter. The hub raises a warning on a newprivsep_healed_atso a recurring clobber surfaces BEFORE a lockout (complements host_staleness). Touches host/run+ the stock sshd only — no guests.
Closes the update asymmetry: the root-adjacent agent was updated by manual SSH binary-replace while
the lower-stakes controller already auto-updates. Design provenance:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-agent-selfupdate-2026-07-05.md (SF-findings binding). Core
principle (as with the controller swap): the thing that performs rollback is never the thing being
updated — here systemd + an ~80-line root wrapper.
- Trust model: an update is an operator-signed
agent_updateop (newreconcile.ClassAgentUpdate, always Destructive) through the existing signed-jobs pipeline; the signed params pin version + sha256, so the sha is the ONLY integrity root (hub = dumb transport, Gitea = dumb storage — neither can substitute a binary).felhom-opsign -op agent_update -agent-version <v> -sha256 <hex>. - Host artifacts (
configs/):felhom-selfupdate-guarded(apply/commit/rollback — root re-verify, path confinement, same-fs assert,.prev, atomic mv, pending marker, detached restart [SF-6]; rollback pending-guarded [SF-1]);felhom-agent-rollback.service(OnFailure oneshot);felhom-agent-limits.conf([Unit]-only drop-in [SF-3] with the spike's tuned 120s/4 [SF-2] + OnFailure=);FELHOM_SELFUPDATEsudoers alias. - Go (

v0.69.0 — S5: host-loss DR — recovered WG-key install + directive→restore-PLAN (safe halves) (2026-07-04)
The two safe, non-destructive mechanical links for host-loss DR (the destructive in-place restore is a separate operator-present, STOP-gated drill).
internal/wgtunnel.InstallRecoveredKey— writes an escrow-recovered WG private key (32-byte base64, re-encoded canonical) to the key file so the tunnel re-establishes with the SAME identity/pubkey (→ the same hub/32), no fresh keygen. CREATE-ONLY — refuses if a key file exists (a present key may be a live identity); value never logged. Wired into--selftest=identity- consume -install-wg-key(opt-in; afterUnwrapIdentityBundle, installsbundle.WGPrivateKey; pre-S3 blob with no WG key → logged fallback to fresh keygen + re-register, which keeps the /32).internal/dr(new) — consumes the host_lossrestore_directive(was logged-and-ignored) into an inspectable RestorePlan via thedesired.Syncer.AddConsumerraw seam: per guest → {vmid, archive, target storage, sizing}; per drive → {durable_id → expected mount}; + the offsite PBS coord. Derive-and-surface only — theConsumerhas NO restore/destroy dependency, so "execute nothing" is structural.guest_loss/absent → no plan. Recipe fetched on-demand (rare directive) via a freshCollect.- Tests + red-proofs: WG install (same pubkey/no-keygen; present-key refuse — red-proofed against allow-overwrite); plan (host_loss builds; guest_loss/absent/nil-recipe → none — red-proofed against a relaxed mode gate). No secrets on argv/stdout/logs (field names only).
v0.68.0 — S4.1: tier-aware restore-task deadline (unattended offsite restore-test) (2026-07-04)
The offsite restore-test couldn't complete on the scheduler path because a WAN restore of a large guest exceeds the restore-task wait's 10-minute default — the wait expired mid-restore, teardown then fired against a still-restoring (not-yet-pool-associated) scratch guest, and it leaked. Make the restore-task wait tier-aware.
internal/reconcile:RestoreTestSpec.RestoreTaskTimeout(0 → the 10mWaitOptionsdefault); the restore-taskWaitTasknow passes it. Local-tier restores are UNCHANGED (10m — a local restore hanging that long is a genuine fault).internal/config:BackupConfig.RestoreTestPBSRestoreTimeoutSeconds+ accessorRestoreTestPBSRestoreTimeout()(positive as-is, else 120m — for an unattended nightly test a false timeout is worse than a slow pass; very large guests may need more).cmd/felhom-agent:restoreTaskTimeout(cfg, tier)sets the field to the configured PBS timeout only whenSourceTier=="pbs"(both the scheduler + selftest spec builds), else 0.- Tests: tier-aware
WaitOptions.Timeout(pbs→120m, local→0; red-proofed againstWaitOptions{}) + the accessor contract. The "grant scratch-bandVM.Allocate" follow-up was diagnosed, not blind-applied — the scratch guest is restored INTO/pool/felhom(whose ACL already grantsVM.Allocate), so the earlier teardown 403 was a consequence of the timeout (a not-yet-pooled, still-restoring guest), not a missing grant. No ACL/host-install change. (Live confirmation of the phantom in REPORT.)
v0.67.0 — S4: namespace-aware PBS client (per-customer offsite tenancy) (2026-07-04)
Phase-1 live probe on felhom-hetzner proved the offsite tenancy path (backup/restore/list/isolation
all green over the tunnel with a per-customer DatastoreBackup token) but surfaced that the agent's
PBS client was namespace-unaware: Snapshots hit the datastore root (403 for a scoped token)
and Verify was whole-datastore (needs Datastore.Verify ~ admin). Operator-approved small change to
make the client namespace-scoped so a properly-isolated token services its own tenant.
internal/pbs:Config.Namespace(+Client.namespace).Snapshotsappends?ns=<ns>(lists ONLY the tenant's namespace);Verifysendsns=<ns>(verifies ONLY that namespace — Phase-1-confirmed to work with a DatastoreBackup token on its own ns, no Datastore.Verify / admin widening).

TestTestClient_NamespaceScopingpins both (red-proofed).internal/proxmox:Storage.Namespace(parsed from the PVE/storageconfig keynamespace).cmd/felhom-agent:pbsTargetsFromPVEthreadss.Namespaceinto the PBS client, so a PBS storage configured with a namespace is verified/reported scoped to it automatically.
Confirmed minimal tenant ACL (recorded live 2026-07-04, felhom-hetzner): DatastoreBackup on
/datastore/felhom-offsite/<ns> (the namespace path — NOT /ns/<ns>) granted to BOTH the user
felhom@pbs and the token felhom@pbs!<ns> — PBS privsep tokens = intersection(user, token),
so both are required; isolation holds because each token's ACL is only its own ns (cross-ns
list/backup → 403, proven). No token exceeds DatastoreBackup; no admin on the endpoint for the box.
v0.66.0 — S4 agent half: endpoint v4-pin + re-resolve watchdog + FELHOM_WG Critical flips (2026-07-04)
The two agent items S4 needs before offsite backups ride the tunnel (the tenancy + storage weight is runbook-side). No new sudoers grants; no wire/JSON change.
internal/wgtunnel— v4-pin (doc 06 §4.2).renderConfnow takes the pre-resolved IPv4 literal and writesEndpoint = <ip>:<port>— never the DNS name, never an AAAA. A newResolverseam (net.DefaultResolver.LookupNetIP(ctx, "ip4", …)— A records only) resolves in the Manager; multiple A records → the numerically lowest (deterministic fleet-wide). renderConf stays pure (no DNS/IO inside). The resolved IP is cached: steady-state Apply hits the cache — zero DNS, zero execs (the load-bearing negative). DNS failure on (re)resolve → keep the last-applied conf + throttled ERROR — never a teardown (teardown stays revocation-only).internal/wgtunnel— re-resolve watchdog (doc 06 §4.2, the slice-3 promise). NewManager.Watchdog(loop-driven only, so Apply's zero-exec steady state is untouched): when the handshake age exceedswg_tunnel.stale_after_seconds(default 180) it re-resolves; IP changed → re-render + restart (endpoint re-IP recovery); IP unchanged → no churn, one throttled warn (endpoint merely down). The staleness read is the existingwg show … latest-handshakes(neverdump).internal/config—WGTunnelConfig.StaleAfterSeconds(default 180 viaWithDefaults).internal/capability— FELHOM_WG Critical flips (S4). Backups ride the tunnel now, sowg-conf-install,wg-enable,wg-restart,wg-handshake-readare Critical=true (operator-alert-worthy on degradation);wg-tools-install(one-time) +wg-disable(deliberate revocation) stay non-critical.TestWGCapabilityCriticalitypins the exact set (red-proofed).- Tests: v4-pin golden (A literal, AAAA/dns_name refused), watchdog (healthy=no-DNS negative, stale+re-IP restarts, stale+same-IP no-churn+throttle, resolver-failure keeps conf, initial-resolve- failure no-teardown+recovery). Red-proofs a/b/d all fire.
v0.65.0 — S3.1 offsite-tunnel client MTU 1420 → 1280 (resolve the CGNAT-smoke MTU open decision) (2026-07-04)
One-constant fix closing 06 §4.3's OPEN DECISION. The 2026-07-04 CGNAT smoke test found the
shipped interface MTU 1420 silently black-holes bulk TCP on any path below ~1480 B (mobile
~1400, DS-Lite ~1452): the WG handshake and ping stay healthy (small packets) while the PBS TLS
page — and, at S4, the backup itself — drops. "Looks green, loses backups." Must be safe before
S4 flows bulk TCP over the tunnel.
internal/wgtunnel/manager.go: newconst clientMTU = 1280(the RFC 8200 IPv6-minimum link MTU — every path carries ≥1280; outer = 1280+60 v4 / +80 v6, fits every realistic path);renderConfemitsMTU = %dfrom it. Fleet-wide, family-agnostic, permanent — decouples the fix from the v4/v6 endpoint-resolution question (§4.2). Client-only by construction: the interface MTU caps box→PBS and the advertised MSS (=MTU−40) caps PBS→box, so the endpoint'swg0is deliberately untouched (zero live-endpoint risk). Rejected: auto-probe / per-connection-type (fragile moving part optimizing throughput, a non-metric here) and MSS-clamp (no forwarded flows).internal/wgtunnel/manager_test.go: golden pins exactMTU = 1280; red-proofed (flip const → 1420 fails the golden on the MTU line — non-vacuous).internal/hub/report.go: stale "MTU 1420" comment → 1280 (still NOT a wire field).- No wire/JSON-golden change (MTU is a client-derived constant, never on the wire); no endpoint, hub, controller, key, or desired-state change.
v0.64.0 — S3 offsite WG tunnel: keygen + registration + agent-managed wg-quick@wg-felhom + escrow join (2026-07-04)
The agent half of doc 06 §3.3 (felhom.eu S1/S2 built the endpoint + hub half). DEFAULT OFF —
the safety gate: wg_tunnel.enabled defaults to false; a v0.64.0 rollout without explicit
config is a no-op (no keygen, no registration, no report stanza). Enabled explicitly on
felhom-pve only; the default flips when the production endpoint exists.
internal/wgtunnel(new; the lanresolver host-service shape): pure-Go keygen (x/crypto curve25519; key 0600 in 0700 StateDir/wg; corrupt file = refuse, NEVER overwrite — it may be the escrowed identity; stored form canonical-clamped — x/crypto clamps derivation internally, so the STORED bytes are the property that matters, red-proof-anchored); one-shot registration (POST /hosts/{id}/wg, marker-gated, exponential backoff cap 15 m); desired-state consumption via the newdesired.Syncer.AddConsumerraw seam (panic-contained); conf render golden-tested (MTU 1420, AllowedIPs = pbs_tunnel_ip/32, keepalive 25 — doc 06 §4 client constants; all inputs strictly validated); hash-gated apply (steady state = ZERO execs), restart-not-reload on conf change, self-heal enable, adopt-lost-marker, re-key-on-mismatch. Revocation semantics (doc 06 §3.5 completed): block absent from a PRESENT desired-state → disable + marker KEPT + never re-register (the operator re-adds the peer using the reported pubkey); absent DATA (failed fetch) is never a teardown signal.internal/hub:WireDesiredState.Wireguard(field-exact with the S2 cross-repo golden, copied byte-identical + decode test),RegisterWGclient (typed errors, token-free),HostReport.Wireguardstatus stanza{pubkey, registered, active, last_handshake_age_s, assigned_ip}via the collector'sWireguardReporterseam.- Sudoers/capabilities:
Cmnd_Alias FELHOM_WG(fixed-path conf install, enable/restart/ disable,wg show wg-felhom latest-handshakes— the ONLY wg read;wg show … dumpis FORBIDDEN, its interface line carries the PRIVATE KEY) + 6 manifest entries (Critical=false until S4 makes the tunnel load-bearing). - Escrow:
IdentityBundle.WGPrivateKey(omitempty) + escrow-create auto-inject when the key file exists (escrow.AttachWGKey; field NAME only in logs). Honest limit: pre-S3 blobs cannot be retro-fitted (R is never retained) — S5 DR falls back to fresh-key re-registration, which keeps the box's /32 (hub S2 re-key-in-place). --selftest=wgtunnelsingle-shot for supervised bring-up.- Live-validated on felhom-pve (agent restart tolerance, host reboot with unit persistence,

configs: build-golden.sh v2.0.0 — mandatory controller tag + bootstrap .path unit (B5 + B1) (2026-07-03)
Golden-bake script only — no agent code, no binary, no agent version bump (docs/config
precedent). Resolves drill findings B5 + B1
(felhom.eu/documentation/audits/DRILL-day0-cleanroom-2026-07-03.md §9) and closes the stale
backlog note FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md.
- B5 —
CONTROLLER_IMAGE(arg 6) is now MANDATORY — the hand-bumped default rotted twice (0.43.0 → 0.85.1 → stale again; 0.85.1 predates the v0.86.0 floor-honoring code, which is why every fresh install needed the manual D.1b update). No 6th arg → die with usage (red-proofed: exits 1 before anypctop). Auto-resolving "latest" was rejected — it could bake an unvouched tag. - B1 — baked
felhom-controller-bootstrap.pathunit (PathExists=/etc/felhom-bootstrap/ bootstrap.json, enabled next to the service): the service'sConditionPathExistsis evaluated only at boot, but the agent back-half hot-plugs the bootstrap mount into the already-running guest — the path unit starts the service when the file APPEARS, so the controller deploys with NO reboot (isolated systemd proof + full Day-0 proof on the clean-room drill VM; the installer's v1.9.1 post-provision reboot is now a redundant belt, kept).RemainAfterExit=yeson the service prevents re-trigger loops; the service itself stays unchanged.

v0.63.0 — B3 + B2: fresh-install fixes — token reload-on-miss + guesthook snippets dir (2026-07-03)
The two agent-side gaps the Day-0 clean-room drill surfaced
(felhom.eu/documentation/audits/DRILL-day0-cleanroom-2026-07-03.md findings B3/B2). Both are
fresh-install path fixes; no behavior change on a warm box.
- B3 —
TokenStore.Lookupreload-on-miss (localapi/tokenstore.go): provisioning is a SEPARATE one-shot process (--selftest=provision) that Mints the new guest's token into the shared append-only JSONL, while the long-lived daemon serves Lookup from an index built once at open — so the daemon 401'd every token minted after it started (the drill'sPOST /controller/swap: HTTP 401, until a manualsystemctl restart felhom-agent). Lookup now re-reads the file ONCE on a miss (reloadLocked(), factored fromload(); full re-read is idempotent underapply's last-write-wins) and re-checks. An append-only size short-circuit bounds the cost: an unknown token on an unchanged file is onestat, no re-read — never a reload loop. Fix is entirely behind theTokenAuthorityseam (no server change). Fail-closed on an unreadable store; missing file loads as empty. Tests (tokenstore_test.go): cross-process-mint coherence (red-proofed: pre-fix shape returns (0,false)), exactly-once reload bound + size short-circuit, cross-process re-mint rotation coherence, deleted-file no-crash (linux-only; windows can't unlink an open handle). - B2 —
guesthook.InstallSnippetensures the snippets dir (guesthook/install.go): a fresh PVE has no/var/lib/vz/snippetsandinstall(without-D) won't create parents — the pre-start self-heal hook silently failed to install on every freshly-bootstrapped box (warn-only in the back-half). A fencedmkdir -p /var/lib/vz/snippetsnow precedes the install; sudoers gains exactly that one grant (FELHOM_GUESTHOOK — configs/felhom-agent.sudoers must ship WITH this binary, as always). Test: mkdir-precedes-install argv assertion (red-proofed: pre-fix has no mkdir op). - Guide follow-through (felhom.eu, separate commit): D.1b's "restart the agent first" step drops once B3 is live-verified.
v0.62.0 — A1: pool-membership ownership check for the stale-lock reaper (2026-07-03)
Implements audit finding A1 (AUDIT-blast-radius-hostroot-localapi-2026-07-02 §A) per the spike
verdict (SPIKE-a1-pool-membership-read-2026-07-03 — enumeration is pool-filtered under the scoped
token, so this is defense-in-depth: a future broad-token deployment can no longer re-arm the reaper
against co-tenant guests). Companion: host-install v1.9.0 (Pool.Audit added to
FelhomAgentGuest) — rescope BEFORE deploying this agent, else the reaper fail-safes (skips)
until the ACL catches up.

RequiresPool.Auditat/pool/{name};Pool.Allocatedoes NOT satisfy the read (spike T2).staleLockController.Guests()(localapi/stalelock.go): now returnsListLXC ∩ pool members(nonzero-vmid, non-storage entries only). Ownership is PROVEN via the pool registry, never assumed from enumeration scope. A pool-read failure returns a wrapped error ("pool membership read (pool=felhom): …") that rides the existing "guest list unavailable — skipping recovery" guard — fail-safe: NO unlock/snapshot-delete/start on ANY guest, never a fallback to the unfiltered list. One new INFO line per scan:stale-lock: scanning pool guests(pool, listed, scanned) — emitted by the controller (the unchangedStaleLockControllerseam can't carry the pre-intersect count).NewStaleLockControllergains(pool string, logger *slog.Logger); main.go threadsreconcile.DefaultPool.- Capability surfacing: the hub-report prober is now a composed closure — the sudo manifest

docs — CLAUDE.md refresh: stable orientation, complete layout (2026-07-03)
No code change, no version bump. Deleted the version-pinned "Current: v0.31.0" narrative and the
per-slice history (stale by 30 versions — current state lives in CONTEXT.md/CHANGELOG top); Layout
completed with the 8 missing packages (capability, desired, escrow, guesthook, lanresolver, localapi,
provision, signedjobs + cmd/felhom-opsign — verified against the tree); build/deploy compressed to a
summary table pointing at the felhom-build-deploy skill (commands verified live on felhom-pve:
non-root felhom-agent user, /usr/local/bin/felhom-agent --config /etc/felhom-agent/agent.json).
Load-bearing Proxmox-model rules kept verbatim. Standing rule: no version-pinned state in CLAUDE.md.
docs — REUSE.md introduced (2026-07-03)
Cross-repo reuse-map rollout (docs-only, no code change, no version bump). New REUSE.md at the
repo root: curated map of canonical helpers (48 rows — exec/sudoers surface, format-safety guards,
durable-id seams, stores, local-API plumbing), patterns, dangerous lookalikes (req.Device TOCTOU,
raw mkfs, uuid:-vs-byid: scheme confusion, MemoryNonceStore, pool-blind stale-lock scan…), test
seams, extension points, and observed duplication (7 clusters, NOT fixed). Every entry code-verified
at file+symbol; cited paths machine-checked by felhom.eu/scripts/reuse_refs_check.py (green).
CLAUDE.md gains the "See REUSE.md before writing new code" pointer + the same-commit maintenance rule.
v0.61.0 — blast-radius audit fixes B1 + D1 + D2 + D3 (2026-07-03)
Four LOW/INFO fixes from AUDIT-blast-radius-hostroot-localapi-2026-07-02.md — the "second gate must
mirror the first" batch. Each shipped with a non-hollow test AND a companion red-proof (test shown
failing on the pre-fix implementation). A1 (stale-lock pool-membership) is deliberately NOT here — it
needs a pool-read spike (the role lacks Pool.Audit); C1/C2/A2/B2–B5/E1/E2 deferred.

Validated by the newscripts/mkfs-guarded-harness.shon felhom-pve: throwaway loop devices + PATH-shimmed lsblk + a recorder bind-mounted over mkfs.ext4 in a private mount namespace (no real mkfs possible) — fixed wrapper 8/8 (incl. plain-blank-disk still formats); pre-fix wrapper red-proof: 7/8 hostile fixtures reached mkfs. - D2 (INFO) —

handleDiskFormat's blank branch formatted the mutable caller-suppliedreq.Devicewith no durable-id binding — a /dev re-enumeration between inspect and mkfs could format a data-bearing disk that inherited the node. The blank branch (internal/localapi/disks.go) now derives the device's durable id (no durable id ⇒ 409 refuse — path-only formats are not permitted), re-resolves it via the newantiRetargetResolveBlank(wipe_reresolve.go: sharedantiRetargetResolveExpectcore; the blank variant asserts the device is STILL !DataBearing), and formats the RE-RESOLVED device.

/etc/sudoers.d/felhom-agentMUST be updated together with the v0.61.0 binary (the old fixed-name grants deny the new random-name installs, and vice versa).
v0.60.0 — proof-of-launch destroy gating + restore-test band-advance (campaign F1/F2) (2026-07-02)
Fixes the pool-effects campaign's HIGH finding (F1, CAMPAIGN-pool-effects-2026-07-01.md): the bring-up
compensating rollback and the restore-test teardown fired DestroyLXC on the target vmid even when
RestoreLXC failed synchronously WITHOUT creating anything (PVE refusing a pre-existing vmid the
pool-blind duplicate guard / band scan couldn't see) — destroying a guest the transaction never made.
Only the pool ACL's 403 saved the non-pool subset; an in-pool pre-existing guest would have been
destroyed, and any broad-token deployment re-arms the bug. Root cause: SameTxnCreated/scratch provenance
was ASSUMED, never verified against proof-of-launch. The fix makes a RestoreLXC UPID the sole destroy
authorization, in ALL THREE destroy paths — the pool ACL is defense-in-depth again, not the guard.
- F1a
internal/reconcile/bringup.gorunBringUp: the compensating-rollback defer is gated onlaunched(set only after the restore POST is accepted). A synchronous restore failure (no UPID) closes the owning entry terminal-failed WITHOUT any destroy. The pre-restoreOpStartedjournal append is kept (crash-safety);rollbackBringUpis now only ever called launch-proven. - F1b
internal/reconcile/restoretest.gorunScratchTest: samelaunchedgate onteardownScratch— a synchronous restore refusal never destroys the picked band vmid. - F1c
internal/reconcile/recover.goRecover: the no-UPID "POST never confirmed → abandon fail-safe" check now runs BEFORE the Scratch/Rollback dispatch — a no-UPID Scratch/Rollback entry is abandoned (marked failed, NO destroy) instead of destroy-by-vmid-existence. Recover is now safe by DESIGN, not by the pool-blind "already gone" accident the campaign observed. - F2
restoretest.goRunRestoreTestband-advance: a band vmid PVE refuses with "already exists" (an invisible squatter — newpveAlreadyExists, mirrorspveConfigLock, never misclassifies a real restore failure) is skipped and the next free band vmid tried (bounded by the band width;pickScratchVMIDgained an exclude set). A fully-occupied band →Skipped(scheduler raises no "backup unrestorable" alert), never FAIL — one squatter no longer permanently breaks the restore-test. - Accepted residual (by design): a crash in the one-statement window between obtaining the UPID and journaling it leaks a half-built guest Recover won't destroy — cleanable, and vastly preferable to destroying an innocent guest.
- Tests: red-proof companions verified (gates reverted →
TestRunBringUp_NoLaunchNoDestroy,TestRunRestoreTest_RestoreNoLaunchNoTeardown,TestRecover_{BringUp,Scratch}NoUPIDAbandonedall fail with the innocent-guest destroy); no-regression…LaunchedTaskFailureStillTearsDown+ rollback table now includes an explicit restore-task-failure case; F2 advance + squatter-full-band-skips tests.

v0.59.0 — report backing device + capacity for a registry-sourced drive in /disks (2026-07-01)
Completes the /disks representation for a registry-sourced (raw, no-PVE-storage) drive: the agent-view
showed "—" for the device and no size bar, because the union row never populated backing_device or
total_bytes/used_bytes (Observe drives get those from pvesm status, which a raw drive has none of).
internal/localapi/disks.gohandleDisks registry union: resolveBackingDevicefrom the fs-UUID (storage.ByUUIDDevicePath) and read capacity viastatfsCapacity(new build-taggedcapacity_linux.go=syscall.Statfson the mount;capacity_other.go= no-op for dev builds).go build/vet/test ./...clean (Linux + Windows dev). Live: the registry drive now shows its device + size in the agent-view, matching the Observe-sourced drives.
v0.58.0 — report GuestPath/BoundUnderParent for a registry-sourced drive in /disks (2026-07-01)
Last piece of first-class raw-drive support: the /disks union row for a registry-sourced drive (Impl-2a
— a drive with no PVE storage) omitted GuestPath + BoundUnderParent, so the controller read it as
"Leválasztva" (disconnected) even though it was mounted + bound + live in the guest.
internal/localapi/disks.gohandleDisks registry union: populateGuestPath(StablePathForRaw)BoundUnderParent(boundUnderParent) on the registry row, identical to the Observe path — so a registry-only drive reports its true bound/active state.go build/vet/test ./...clean.
v0.57.0 — re-assert a RAW drive's guest-bind (ReassertGuestBinds mount-table fallback) (2026-07-01)
Completes the raw-drive durability the v0.56.0 fix started. ReassertGuestBinds (the startup / drive-
returned reconcile that re-binds an enrolled drive's felhom-data under the shared parent so it's live in
the guest) built its durable-id→mount map from Observe() only — so a RAW enrolled drive was never found
("enrolled drive not present"), and its in-guest bind was not re-asserted after a reboot or a watchdog
re-mount (the drive would show "Leválasztva" in the controller).
internal/localapi/disks.goReassertGuestBinds: augment the durable-id→mount map from the mount table — each raw/mnt/<name>mount → its device fs-UUID (HostReader.Mounts+ResolveUUID), skipping the/mnt/felhom-drivesbind (AttachDrive wants the raw path). Observe entries still win. Also: an Observe failure is no longer fatal (fall through to the mount-table scan) so raw drives re-assert even if the PVE view is momentarily unavailable.- Wiring fix (latent):
buildLocalAPIServernever passedOptions.HostReader, so the local-API server'shostwas nil in production — the v0.56.0durableIDForMountraw fallback (and the role gate's host classification) silently no-op'd. Now wired tostorage.NewProcHostReader(). This is what makes the v0.56.0 + v0.57.0 raw-mount resolutions actually fire live. go build/vet/test ./...clean. With v0.56.0 (guest-bind now RECORDED for raw drives) this closes the reboot/reconnect guest-bind durability gap for raw drives end-to-end.
v0.56.0 — record intent/guest-bind for a RAW enrolled drive (durableIDForMount fallback) (2026-07-01)
Surfaced by the first live raw enrollment (Impl-2b): a raw drive is not a PVE storage, so
durableIDForMount (Observe-based) returned "" for it → the enroll's intent + guest-bind recording
logged "durable-id unresolved" and silently skipped. Result: the drive mounted + bound + usable, but was
NOT intent-tracked (so RegistryKnownTargets — which gates on intent ≠ new — didn't health-track it) and
its guest-bind wasn't persisted.
internal/localapi/disks.godurableIDForMount: after the Observe lookup, fall back to resolving the fs-UUID directly from the mount table — the device mounted atwhere(viaHostReader.Mounts) → its by-uuid identity (HostReader.ResolveUUID) →uuid:<fs-uuid>(the SAME scheme Observe derives, so intent keys stay consistent). Fixes intent recording (enroll/eject) AND guest-bind recording for raw drives; the PVE-storage path is unchanged.- Test
TestDurableIDForMount_RawFallback(+ red-proof: Observe-only → "").go build/vet/test ./...clean. - (Residual noted here fixed in v0.57.0:
ReassertGuestBindsraw-drive guest-bind re-assert.)
v0.55.0 — raw-device discovery + registry-sourced drive tracking (Impl-2a) (2026-07-01)
Agent backend for drive enrollment (SPIKE-drive-enrollment §SQ1/SQ4/SQ5). Makes raw (non-PVE-storage) drives (a) discoverable for enrollment and (b) health-tracked WITHOUT being a PVE storage — so a drive enrolled the new way isn't enrolled-but-untracked (the 3b-fix false-detach class). No mkfs here (Impl-1 owns it); the controller wizard rewiring is Impl-2b.
GET /disks/candidates(internal/storage/candidates.go+internal/localapi/disks.go): enumerates host whole-disks from/sys/block, runs the Impl-1 unclaimed filter, and returns the free ones with probe info (size/model/FS/data-bearing/durable-id preview), split intoinitialize(all unclaimed) andattach(the subset carrying a mountable ext4/xfs FS). Fail-safe carries through (a device not provably unclaimed is omitted).RegistryKnownTargets(internal/storage/registry_known.go): the watchdog's known-DRIVE set now comes from the intent registry + Felhom.mountunits, NOTObserve()(PVE storages). A unit is tracked iff its intent ≠new(enrolled/ejected/decommissioned; the watchdog's existing IntentReader gate still decides re-mount).main.goswaps the watchdogKnownTargetssource.Observe()is KEPT for real PVE storages (local/local-lvm/pbs) — reports + the/disksview.handleDisksunion: additive + deduped-by-mount-path — appends registry drives Observe doesn't surface (a registry-only drive now appears in the agent-view) without dropping any Observe row (can't regress the current view).- Existing-drive migration (
ReconcileExistingDrives, idempotent, at agent start): records each currently-mounted Felhom-unit drive asenrolledso the registry-sourcedKnown()tracks it without its legacy PVE dir-storage.

v0.54.0 — format-safety foundation: unclaimed-disk guard + guarded-mkfs wrapper (2026-07-01)
Impl-1 (SPIKE-drive-enrollment-2026-07-01). Hardens the destructive Format/mkfs path BEFORE the
enrollment feature: today Format delegates authorization to its caller and only checks DataBearing
(has-data), which is insufficient — the OS disk is data-bearing yet catastrophic — and the sudoers
permits mkfs /dev/*. Two independent, layered guards:
- Part A — mandatory unclaimed-disk guard inside
Format(the primary safety). Newinternal/storage/claim.go:classifyClaim(pure) +gatherClaimFactsrefuse to format any device not provably UNCLAIMED — reusingSystemDisks(OS disk) + lsblk FSTYPE (LVM2_member/zfs_member/ linux_raid_member/crypto_LUKS/swap) + foreign mounts + read-only + authoritativepvs/zpool. A Felhom-owned mount under/mnt/felhom-drivesis NOT a foreign claim (re-init stays allowed; the DataBearing wipe-confirm still gates data loss). FAIL-SAFE: any read error / undeterminable topology → CLAIMED → refuse. The guard is inFormat(lowest layer), not the handler, so no caller can bypass it. Read-only sudoers additions:pvs,zpool status(inFELHOM_DISK). - Part B — guarded-mkfs wrapper below the agent.
configs/felhom-mkfs-guarded.sh(root, 0755) is now the ONLY mkfs path the sudoers allows (FELHOM_FORMATno longer allowlists rawmkfs.*). It re-checks the cheap catastrophic cases (system disk / LVM PV / foreign mount) and refuses — so even an agent bug/compromise can't mkfs the OS disk.Formatexecs the wrapper (<device> <fstype>) viaBinaries.MkfsGuarded. - Tests:
claim_test.go— table-drivenclassifyClaim(every claim signal + fail-safe + the two allow cases) incl. the red-proof (a claimed, non-data-bearing OS disk: removing the isSystem check flips it to allowed → test fails, proving the guard adds safety beyondDataBearing); Format-guard integration tests (refuses system disk / LVM member, allows unclaimed → wrapper invoked); capability manifest updated (mkfs sample → the wrapper).go build/vet/test ./...clean. - Deferred to Impl-3: a raw disk passed through to ANOTHER VM looks unused to the host — a host-level filter can't detect it; the operator gate (shared-box mode) closes that. Impl-1 closes everything host-visible (a strict improvement over today's no-guard state).
v0.53.0 — restore guests INTO the felhom pool (pool-scoped-ACL enabler) (2026-07-01)
Colleague-safety batch #4 phase b (agent half). Enables the agent token to be scoped from / to
/pool/felhom + /storage/<targets> (real blast-radius containment on a shared host) by making every
restore allocate the guest INTO the pool — the only way a fresh vmid authorizes under a pool-scoped
token. Grounded by felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-pool-scoped-acl-2026-07-01.md (PASS).
internal/proxmox/mutate.go:RestoreLXCOptionsgainsPool string;RestoreLXCsendspool=<p>only when non-empty (pct restore --pool). Omit-when-empty (a broad-token restore needs no pool) — unit-tested + red-proofed.internal/reconcile: newconst DefaultPool = "felhom"(single source of truth);BringUpSpecgainsPool, threaded to the bring-up restore. Both restore sites now pool the guest: the provision/DR bring-up (Pool: spec.Pool, set toDefaultPoolby the CLI) AND the restore-test scratch guest (Pool: DefaultPool) — the latter closes SPIKE residual #2 (a pool-scoped token would otherwise 403 on the out-of-pool scratch guest).cmd/felhom-agent/main.go: bothBringUpSpecliterals (bring-up/DR + provision) setPool: reconcile.DefaultPool.- No ACL/priv change in the agent — that ships in the host-install script (v1.6.0). The pool param
is INERT until the token is granted
Pool.Allocateat/pool/felhomand the pool exists; publishing is therefore safe ahead of the coordinated ACL swap. - New tests:
proxmox.TestRestoreLXC_PoolParam(set →pool=felhom; empty → omitted),reconcile.TestRestoreSitesUsePool(both restore sites carryDefaultPool). Both red-proofed (unconditionalSet→ omit test fails; drop either site'sPool→ both-sites test fails).go build/vet/test ./...clean.
v0.52.0 — operator-opt-in CPU/RAM cap for the provisioned guest (-cores / -memory) (2026-07-01)
Colleague-safety batch #3. So a trial appliance guest on a colleague's SHARED production Proxmox does not pressure his existing guests, the operator can now cap the guest's CPU cores + RAM at provision time, before the guest's first boot (the peak container-pull moment). Pure CLI→spec plumbing — the reconcile engine already applied the cap; this only wires the flags to it.
cmd/felhom-agent/main.go: new-cores N/-memory M(MiB) flags for--selftest=bring-up|provision(0 = keep the golden's baked size). They flow throughbringUpSizing(now carriesCores/MemoryMB) into thereconcile.BringUpSpec{Cores,MemoryMB}built by BOTHrunSelftestBringUpandrunSelftestProvision. The-selftestusage string documents them.- No engine change.
internal/reconcile/bringup.goalready carriesBringUpSpec.Cores/MemoryMB(0 = leave as restored) andbuildBringUpConfigalready emitscores/memoryinto the SAME coalesced config PUT as the identity reset — which runs BEFOREe.api.Start, so the cap lands pre-boot. Rejected thepct set-post-provision alternative (runs after boot = an uncapped window; bypasses the token/audit; second config source of truth). - Omit-when-zero guarantee: an unset cap (0) emits NEITHER
coresNORmemory, so an uncapped provision keeps the golden defaults (no regression for the normal single-purpose box) and can never shrink the guest to 0 cores. New pure-function testTestBuildBringUpConfig_ResourceCapsasserts both the set (cores=2,memory=4096) and the absent-when-unset cases; a red-proof (unconditional emit) was run and confirmed to fail the omit assertion, then reverted. - Deploy dependency: a FRESH host-install
--cores/--memory(felhom.eu script v1.4.0) requires the hub artifact manifest to serve agent ≥ v0.52.0, else the old agent rejects the unknown flag. The flags are opt-in, so nobody hits this until they intentionally cap. go build/go vet/go test ./...clean.
v0.51.0 — local vzdump retention default (--prune-backups keep-last=3) (2026-06-30)
The PREVENTIVE counterpart to the hub's host_disk + storage_fill detectors: the agent's periodic local
whole-guest vzdump now prunes its own old archives, so a box can't refill its own root via its own backups
(the felhom-pve incident's root cause — that vzdump carried no retention, ~18 dumps piled under
/var/lib/vz/dump).
internal/proxmox/mutate.go:VzdumpOptions.PruneBackups→ passed as PVE's--prune-backupson the vzdump POST (vmid+storage scoped, so PVE prunes only THIS guest's archives on THIS storage).internal/backup/runner.go:NewBackupRunnergains aretentionarg; the backup applies it vialocalPruneSpecONLY when the target is a non-PBS storage (resolved viaListStorage) — PBS offsite retention is a separate lifecycle and is never pruned by the per-run flag. Fail-safe: if the target type can't be confirmed (lookup error / not found) the run SKIPS pruning rather than risk pruning PBS (the detectors remain the safety net). Only the periodic local-API runner sets retention; the restore-test / selftest runners pass "".internal/config/config.go:backup.local_backup_retention(keep-last N) withKeepLast()clamped to ≥1 (0/unset/negative → default 3) — a mis-config can NEVER prune the just-made backup —PruneBackupsSpec()→keep-last=N. Wired into the local-API backup runner (main.go).

v0.50.0 — NAS network storage Part A1: NFS/SMB automount foundation (2026-06-30)
Agent foundation of the validated SPIKE-nas-storage-2026-06-29.md (verdict READY): a customer NAS can
serve bulk media to a media app. The agent mounts a NAS share host-side under
/mnt/felhom-drives/<name> via a systemd .automount (+ .mount) pair; it propagates into guest 9201 for
free through the existing shared mp8 bind (no new mountpoint, no restart). A NAS is a distinct storage
class — it carries no durable-id and never enters the drive enroll/eject/decommission/wipe/SMART/
watchdog machinery. Bulk-media class only; STOP before A2 (controller registry/UI) + B (restic-SFTP).
internal/storage/netmount.go(NEW).NetworkMountSpec+ the locked SPIKE recipe:- NFS (preferred):
What=server:/export,Type=nfs4,Options=vers=4.1,soft,timeo=50,retrans=2,noatime,_netdev.softis the failure-isolation knob (clean EIO, never adf/guest wedge); a defaulthardmount is never emitted. The+100000uid mapping is the export's job (anonuid=101000), so the client mount carries no uid. - SMB (fallback):
What=//server/share,Type=cifs,Options=vers=3.0,credentials=<0600 file>,uid=<+100000>,gid=<+100000>,forceuid,forcegid,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,_netdev(plain octal modes, never setgid 2775). The +100000 rule (container uid/gid N = host N+100000): a container uid 1000 rendersuid=101000so the guest sees its native id and reads+writes; a naïve+0lands asnobody:nogroup(not writable) — the documented trap, asserted by a companion test. .automountwithTimeoutIdleSec(on-demand + idle-unmount): an idle NAS reboot is a non-event.- per-share liveness (
ListNetworkMounts): TCP-probes the NAS endpoint (2049/445) + reads/proc/mounts— it neverstats the (possibly EIO/D-state) mountpoint, so a black-holed NAS cannot wedge a list. Healthok | idle | unreachable, scoped to the affected share, never box-wide. - role gate
NetworkMountRole: network storage is bulk-userdata only — confined to the/mnt/felhom-drivesnamespace; any other target is refused (most-protected). - Full validation (

- NFS (preferred):
- Drive-machinery bypass (Scenario D).
parseFelhomMountUnit(the host-reboot drive re-assert's classifier) explicitly refuses any unit carrying the network marker, so a NAS mount is never given a durable-id, SMART-probed, or re-asserted as a drive. Companion red-proof: the same by-uuid-shaped unit with the drive marker DOES parse — the guard is the discriminator, not luck. internal/localapi/netstorage.go(NEW). Self-scoped endpointsPOST /netstorage/add,GET /netstorage,POST /netstorage/remove.

v0.49.0 — reboot-during-backup stale-lock recovery (F2-b) + shared-parent script redeploy fix (F2-a) (2026-06-30)
Closes the two host-reboot findings from TESTRUN-fullstack-2026-06-29.md.
-
F2-b — startup stale-lock recovery (
internal/localapi/stalelock.go, NEW). A host reboot DURING a vzdump backup leaves the guest with asnapshot-delete/backuplock + a danglingvzdumpsnapshot;onboot:1then can't start the locked CT → the customer box stays DOWN until a human runspct unlock. The agent now self-heals at startup (Server.RecoverStaleLockedGuests, called alongsideReassertGuestBinds/RecoverFormatJob): for each guest carrying a backup lock, only when no vzdump is genuinely in-flight (the load-bearing invariant — at startup the agent's own backup loop hasn't run, so the lock is stale; the guard fails SAFE if it can't confirm), itpct unlocks → deletes the danglingvzdumpsnapshot (API + WaitTask) → starts the CT iffonbootand not already running. Scope is strictly the two vzdump locks;migrate/disk/create/… are left untouched. Idempotent.internal/proxmox: new readsGuestConfig.Lock()/OnBoot(),Client.ListSnapshots,Client.ListRunningTasks, and theSnapshottype. Reads + snapshot-delete + start go through the API token; onlypct unlockshells out (no API equivalent).- sudoers + capability manifest: new narrow grant
FELHOM_STALELOCK = /usr/sbin/pct unlock [0-9]*and Critical capabilitystalelock-unlock(a stuck-locked guest = customer box down).visudo -cfclean; covered by the manifest↔sudoers build gate. - Tests: recovery sequence + companions — no-lock touches nothing; non-backup lock left alone; onboot=0 unlocked-but-not-started; delsnapshot only when a snapshot exists; invariant guard (live backup → not cleared; unconfirmable → fail-safe); already-running → not restarted.
-
F2-a — shared-parent boot script never redeployed (
internal/localapi/intermediary.go). The host's/mnt/felhom-driveswas still in root'sshared:1peer group (so every drive bind DOUBLED) because the live boot script predated the v0.36.6make-privatefix. Root cause:EnsureSharedParentgated the (re)install on the unit file only, so a script-only change never deployed. Fixed: the newsharedParentInstallStalehelper compares both the script and the unit (missing or differing → reinstall). Boot-time-only — it rewrites the on-disk script; it does NOT churn the live mount (the live bind/make-private/make-shared stays guarded on!isHostMountpoint). Verified empirically on the host: the correctbind → make-private → make-sharedsequence gives the parent its own group + no doubling.- Tests: a stale-script/current-unit case triggers reinstall (the F2-a regression); both-current is a
no-op; missing files are stale; a content guard asserts the shipped script keeps
make-private.

Live-caught fixes (same version, found during felhom-pve validation): PVE 9.x rejects
GET /nodes/{node}/tasks?running=1(HTTP 400 "property not defined in schema") — the invariant guard now uses?source=active. And the unprivileged-LXC start emits a benignWARNINGS: 1(systemd-nesting) advisory that false-failed the recovery's start —Startnow usesAllowWarnings(matching the restore-test's start step). -
§D supervised reboot — both findings live-validated. F2-a: after reboot
/mnt/felhom-drivescame up as its OWN peer group (shared:94, notshared:1) with no doubling; guest sees both drives, apps healthy. F2-b: a reboot with the exact stale state (inducedsnapshot-deletelock + a real danglingvzdumpsnapshot) reproduced the stuck symptom (pve-guests "CT is locked (snapshot-delete)" → start failed) and the agent auto-recovered — unlock → removed the real dangling snapshot → started the CT.

Version
0.48.0 → 0.49.0.
v0.48.0 — report the served local-API leaf fingerprint (hub-side re-key detection, Part A) (2026-06-29)
The agent now rides its served leaf fingerprint on every host report so the hub can detect an
agent re-key fleet-wide (the last self-health leg — host_leaf_changed, hub v0.22.0).
internal/hub/report.go: newHostReport.LeafFingerprint string(leaf_fingerprint) — the SHA-256 of the leaf the agent currently serves. Empty when the local API is disabled (no leaf) → the hub treats "" as unknown, never an alert. Not a secret.internal/hub/collect.go+cmd/felhom-agent/main.go:Collector.SetLeafFingerprint(fp)threads thefpfromEnsureLeaf(the SAME value the loud LOADED/REGENERATED log reports) into every report, next toCapabilities.- Tests: the report includes the fp when set,
""when unset (local API disabled); golden + contract + field-names tests updated (cross-repo golden mirrorsleaf_fingerprint). Version0.47.0 → 0.48.0.
v0.47.0 — controller-swap verify hardening: reject a crash-looping no-healthcheck image (F1) (2026-06-29)
Closes F1 from the no-mercy testrun: a controller image with no HEALTHCHECK that crash-loops could
land a single "Running" inspect poll → the swap marked it healthy → no rollback (alpine tagged as
the controller passed in ~4 s, then Restarting (0)). The real controller image has a healthcheck so
the live severity is low, but the rollback safety net had a hole.
internal/localapi/controllerswap.go:controllerHealthynow also reads{{.RestartCount}}(a 4thdocker inspect -ffield) —running && RestartCount>0→ not-ok (a process that has already crash-restarted isn't stably up, regardless of healthcheck). It also signalsneedsDwellfor the no-healthcheck (none) case.verifyadds a stability dwell: a no-healthcheck image must report ok onverifyDwell(=3) consecutive polls before it's accepted; a realhealthyresult is trusted immediately (Docker already gated it). Any not-ok resets the dwell. Timeout → existing rollback path runs. No change to writeImage, the sudoers grants (the*indocker inspect -f *spans the extended template — confirmed live), or the state-file/rollback orchestration.- Tests: F1 red-proof (
RestartCount>0→ verify false; companion: rc=0+dwell=1 verifies → the rc check is what blocks it); the dwell (single ok then crash → verify false; companion dwell=1 accepts it); a realhealthyimage verifies promptly (no false rollback). ExistingRollbackOnUnhealthy/HealthyWithNoHealthcheckstay green. Version0.46.0 → 0.47.0.
v0.46.0 — leaf lifecycle: signal + loud-log a regenerated leaf (prevention, Part B.1) (2026-06-29)
Makes an accidental local-API leaf regeneration (the 2026-06-28 root→non-root migration class —
moving /var/lib/felhom-agent aside silently minted a new leaf → every controller's pin invalidated
for days) visible immediately instead of silent.
EnsureLeafnow returnsgenerated bool(internal/localapi/cert.go): false = an existing pair was LOADED (stable fingerprint), true = a fresh leaf was GENERATED.- Loud call-site (
cmd/felhom-agent/main.go): a load logsINFO local-api leaf LOADED; a regeneration logsWARN local-api leaf REGENERATED — any previously issued bootstrap pins are now INVALID; controllers will fail the pin check until re-bootstrapped(with the new fingerprint). - No new sudo/capability surface — pure return + log change. The companion install-script preservation
(
--preserve-state-from+ the populated-host guard) lives infelhom.eu/scripts/felhom-host-install.sh. - Tests:
EnsureLeaffirst callgenerated==true, secondgenerated==falseAND same fingerprint (persistence keeps the pin stable). Version0.45.0 → 0.46.0.

All notable changes to felhom-agent are recorded here. Update on every code change that gets pushed.
v0.45.0 — controller-swap under non-root: stdin tee write + narrow sudoers grants (Option A) (2026-06-29)
Restores fleet controller-swap / managed auto-update under the non-root agent — the one capability
the 2026-06-29 sudoers audit deliberately left broken because the old write vector needed arbitrary
in-guest execution. Mechanics spike-proven
(felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-controllerswap-narrow-grants-2026-06-29.md, GO). No controller
change — the swap endpoint contract is unchanged; only the agent's internal write mechanism + the
allowlist.
writeImageno longer shells out. WasGuestExec("bash","-c","printf '%s\n' '<img>' > <file>")(the swap's only interpolated/shell vector). NowGuestExecStdin(strings.NewReader(img+"\n"), "tee", "/etc/felhom-controller-image")— the image ref is piped on stdin into an in-guesttee; no shell, no interpolation. The trailing\nkeeps the on-disk bytes byte-identical to the golden'sprintf '%s\n', and the bootstrap readsIMAGE=$(cat …)(newline-stripping), so the write is consumed identically.ValidControllerImagestill gates upstream.- New stdin seam (no fenced-runner bypass):
proxmox.Runner.RunStdin/ExecRunner.RunStdin(Run withcmd.Stdin),GuestBinder.GuestExecStdin, andGuestExecutor.GuestExecStdin— the swap routes stdin through the SAMEsudo -nfenced runner as every other privileged op. FELHOM_CONTROLLERSWAPsudoers alias (5 narrow, auditable grants):cat <fixed file>,docker image inspect *,docker inspect -f *,systemctl restart <fixed unit>,tee <FIXED image file>. No generalpct exec, nobash -c— the spike's negative controls (arbitrary exec,teeto any other path,docker rm,rm -rf) stay denied. The 5 are added to the v0.44.0 capability manifest (Critical — a silently-broken fleet auto-update is operator-alert-worthy), so the self-probe watches them and the build-test asserts grant↔code coverage (companion red-proof: dropping theteegrant fails the gate — demonstrated red→green on the real file).- Existing swap tests (happy / rollback-on-unhealthy / image-absent / no-healthcheck / bad-image /
single-flight) pass over the new write path; a new test asserts the write is stdin-
teewith exactimage\nand no shell vector. Version0.44.0 → 0.45.0.
v0.44.0 — privileged-capability self-probe (build-time manifest test + runtime probe + hub snapshot) (2026-06-29)
The agent now self-checks the sudo -n grants it depends on, so a missing allowlist entry (the
2026-06-28 cutover class: lxc-info/make-private/…) is caught LOUD — in CI at build time and on the
host at runtime — instead of surfacing days later as user-visible breakage. First slice of agent
self-health; the controller↔agent channel check is a separate later task.
internal/capability(NEW): aManifest()of the required(binary, representative-arg)vectors (seeded from the 2026-06-29 audit — the OK + CLOSED rows; the SURFACED/DEFERRED rowspct exec */pct create/mount UUID/sensorsare deliberately excluded).Prober.Probelists each against the live policy withsudo -n -l -- <binary> <args>(a policy LIST — never executes, safe for mkfs/pct entries) via a DIRECT runner, plus anos.Statexistence check, mapping took/degraded("sudo policy denied" | "binary not found"). A total sudo failure (drop-in missing) collapses to ONE aggregate signal. Serve-degraded: the probe never blocks startup, panics, or errors.- Build-time gate (
manifest_test.go): parsesconfigs/felhom-agent.sudoers, translates each glob to a regex, and asserts every manifest vector is covered by a grant — exactly what would have caught the droppedlxc-info/make-privatelines in CI. Includes a red-proof: with thelxc-infoline removed from an in-memory copy, the check FAILS forguest-init-pid(and passes on the real file) — proving the gate is not hollow. - Runtime wiring:
Proberuns once at startup (INFOcapabilities self-check N/N ok, plus an ERROR per degraded capability naming the gated feature) and on every hub-report cycle; the snapshot rides the report as the new non-nilHostReport.Capabilities []capability.Status(golden + contract test updated; cross-repo hub copy mirrors it). - No allowlist change; the live host is post-audit complete, so the probe reports N/N ok — itself
a live proof the probe agrees with the fixed sudoers. Version
0.43.0 → 0.44.0.
(sudoers completeness audit, folded into v0.44.0) — close non-root allowlist gaps (2026-06-29)
A full audit of every privileged command the agent shells via sudo -n against
configs/felhom-agent.sudoers, closing the read-only/fixed-vector gaps left by the 2026-06-28
root→non-root cutover. Sudoers-only change — no Go change, no version bump (the file is fetched
canonically by the host-install script). Root cause of the multi-drive "attach one, the other drops"
symptom (audit felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-multidrive-mutual-exclusion-2026-06-29.md): the
allowlist was incomplete, so several sudo -n calls were denied under the non-root user.
lxc-info -n [0-9]* -p -H→ FELHOM_INTERMEDIARY (THE root-cause fix).guestInitPID(intermediary.go:256) shells this to resolve the guest init PID forGuestSeesMount→bound_under_parent. It was absent from the allowlist →sudo -ndenied → empty PID → every external drive reported absent → the controller drive-gate stopped each drive's apps (flapping). With the grant,bound_under_parentreports truthfully and the gate quiesces.mount --make-private /mnt/felhom-drives→ FELHOM_INTERMEDIARY.EnsureSharedParent(intermediary.go:110) calls it to isolate the shared parent's peer group on first setup; the allowlist had only--make-shared, so the parent stayed in root's peer group and host submounts "doubled". Guarded by a mountpoint check (never re-churns a live parent).systemctl restart dnsmasq→ FELHOM_DNSMASQ. The v0.29.x LAN-DNS fix switchedreload→restart(lanresolver.go restartDnsmasq) but the allowlist still only permittedreload→ split-horizon DNS self-heal was silently denied under non-root. Added alongside the retainedreload.pct set [0-9]* -onboot 1→ FELHOM_PROVISION. The provision back-half (backhalf.go, F3 auto-start) sets onboot; only-mp[0-9]*was allowed → denied under non-root.pct reboot [0-9]*→ FELHOM_GUESTHOOK.RebootGuest(disks.go:448, the enroll "activate pending binds" fallback) was unmatched.
Surfaced for operator decision (NOT added — would require arbitrary root-in-guest): GuestExec's
general pct exec [0-9]* -- <…> (controller-swap self-update / Phase-2 managed updates) runs variable
vectors incl. bash -c "<interpolated>" — granting it = arbitrary execution. Controller-swap is
currently broken under the non-root agent until narrow per-vector grants are decided. Deferred:
sensors -j (defined-but-unwired AND lm-sensors not installed on the host — no live caller, path
unverifiable). Not added (no daemon caller): pct create … (CreateGoldenLXC, maintenance/broad),
mount UUID=… … (MountUSBByUUID, legacy/unreferenced). Full audit table in REPORT.md.
v0.43.0 — canonical systemd unit + binary published to Gitea (BUNDLE slice) (2026-06-28)
Day-0 no longer needs a hand-installed agent. The agent binary is now PUBLISHED to Gitea as a generic package and the host-bootstrap script fetches → verifies (sha256 vs the hub-vouched manifest) → installs it. This commit adds the canonical systemd unit (was hand-made per host) and the publish tooling; the binary itself is a version-only rebuild (no behavioural change).
configs/felhom-agent.service(NEW, canonical):User=felhom-agent/Group=felhom-agent(the documented non-root production model — README "Process model";privileged.mode: "sudo"+ the narrow sudoers allowlist),ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/felhom-agent --config /etc/felhom-agent/agent.json,After=network-online.target pve-cluster.service pveproxy.service,Restart=on-failure,StateDirectory=felhom-agent. Deliberately NO sandboxing, with the reasons documented inline:NoNewPrivilegesis NOT set — it would block the setuidsudothe agent needs for every host-root op (mount/format/pct/dnsmasq), silently killing all privileged capability.- NO mount-namespacing hardening (
ProtectHome/ProtectSystem/PrivateTmp/…) — any of those give the unit a PRIVATE mount namespace, and the intermediary-mount drive model relies onmount --make-shared/--bindpropagating into the running guest; in a private namespace every drive enrollment would silently break. The agent shares the host mount namespace; the sudoers allowlist is the security boundary.
scripts/publish-agent.sh(NEW): builds (optional) + PUTs the binary to/api/packages/admin/generic/felhom-agent/<ver>/felhom-agent(Gitea generic), printsAGENT_VERSION+AGENT_SHA256, and does a GET round-trip (re-fetch + sha256 re-check) to prove the artifact is fetchable + intact.

v0.42.0 — agentic controller update: in-guest image swap + rollback (Phase 1) (2026-06-26)
The host agent now owns the in-guest controller image swap — the new-architecture replacement for
the controller's dead in-container docker compose self-update. The controller pre-pulls the target
image (shared docker socket, its own registry token) then asks the agent to swap; the agent — external
to the controller container, so it survives the controller being killed mid-swap — does the rest and
rolls back if the new controller doesn't come up healthy.
- New local-API routes (
internal/localapi/controllerswap.go, token-scoped viawithGuest):POST /controller/swap {image}→ 202{status:"swapping", previous_image, target_image}, then async: record previous (crash-safety state file/var/lib/felhom-agent/controller-swap-<vmid>.json) → confirm the target image is present in the guest (else abort, no swap) → write/etc/felhom-controller-image→systemctl restart felhom-controller-bootstrap.service→ poll the new controller to healthy (docker inspect, ≤90s) → roll back to the previous image + restart if it doesn't (the guest is never left without a controller). Single-flight per guest (409 if busy). Image ref is strict-validated (gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:<semver>) before any action.GET /controller/swap/status→{state: swapping|done|failed, current, previous, target, error}.

v0.41.0 — provisioned customer guests auto-start after a host reboot (onboot:1) (2026-06-24)
F3 fix. The provision back-half now sets onboot:1 on the customer guest, so after a host
reboot/power-cut the customer's whole home-server (controller + apps) comes back on its own —
previously every provisioned guest inherited the golden's --onboot 0 and stayed stopped until a
manual pct start (confirmed live in the stable-path/sys-drive restart campaign, Phase 4.1). The new
step is a fatal pct set <vmid> -onboot 1 placed right after the config-mount attach (backhalf.go),
mirroring the config-mount/parent-bind pct set ops. No startup/boot-order/delay — the v0.75
mountpoint-gate already covers the drive-bind race at boot (Phase 4.4), so the controller won't write
app data onto the rootfs while the agent re-binds drives.
The golden stays onboot:0 (build-golden.sh unchanged): a template must not auto-start, and
onboot is a per-guest property the back-half is the right place to set. Unit-tested
(TestProvision_SetsOnbootOne asserts the exact pct set … -onboot 1 invocation, with a red-proof
against removing the call). The pre-existing demo guest 9201 (provisioned pre-fix) was remediated
non-destructively with pct set 9201 -onboot 1. Capstone live-validated (2026-06-24): destroyed +
re-provisioned 9201 through the real provision chain with v0.41.0 → fresh pct config showed onboot: 1
with no manual set; a subsequent felhom-pve host reboot brought 9201 back running with no manual
pct start (the onboot:0 scratch guests correctly stayed stopped), controller + base infra healthy,
drives re-bound at stable, sys_drive separate — the exact Phase-4.1 failure now passes.
v0.40.0 — third CT volume: SSD user-data (/mnt/sys_drive, mp1) baked + -sysdata-grow (2026-06-23)
The third golden volume. Extends the OS/Docker-data split (v0.29.x) to a three-volume layout:
rootfs + Docker-data (mp0) + SSD user-data (mp1 @ /mnt/sys_drive, backup=1) — the
controller's system_data_path. Until now /mnt/sys_drive was a plain directory on the 32 GB OS
rootfs, so the controller correctly warned that SSD app data (<sys_drive>/felhom-data) lands on the
OS drive. Baking it as its own thin volume clears that warning with zero controller change (the
controller already auto-discovers <sys_drive>/felhom-data and warns via system.IsMountPoint); the
mp under the guest's /mnt reaches the controller container through the existing
-v /mnt:/mnt:rslave bind.
configs/build-golden.sh—pct creategains--mp1 ${ROOTFS_STORAGE}:${GOLDEN_SYSDATA_GB},mp=/mnt/sys_drive,backup=1(new envGOLDEN_SYSDATA_GB=8, near-empty; provision grows it).

v0.39.0 — DR recipe completion: live PBS coord + drop the two unfillable drive fields (2026-06-16)

- PBS coord now resolved LIVE each collect. New

The restore SOURCE must not depend on a maintenance cadence. Per-datastore: a live error/timeout → that datastore's last-known-good; a successful (even empty) response is authoritative and updates the shared store. Targets-resolution failure → the full LKG aggregate. Bounded byDefaultLiveSnapshotTimeout(8 s) so a hung PBS never stalls the heartbeat. List only — it never triggers aVerify.

v0.37.0 — host-reboot remount re-resolves enrolled drives by filesystem UUID (2026-06-16)
TASK A — close out the reboot story (agent half). On a host reboot the kernel can re-enumerate block
devices and move a drive's node (felhom-usb /dev/sdb→/dev/sdc), and a .mount unit left disabled
by a prior detach never auto-mounts at boot — so an enrolled drive could stay unmounted (or, with any
node-trusting remount, mount the WRONG device). Root cause pinned LIVE: felhom-usb's systemd mount unit
was disabled (no multi-user.target.wants symlink) while felhom-flash's was enabled; What= was
already correct (by-UUID), but nothing re-asserted the unit at startup.
storage.ResolveStorageDevice(durableID)— resolves the enrolleduuid:<fs-uuid>storage scheme to its CURRENT backing/devnode by re-scanning/dev/disk/by-uuid(never a cached node); errors if the UUID is genuinely absent so a caller skips a gone drive instead of fail-mounting a stale node.storage.parseFelhomMountUnit— pure inverse ofrenderMountUnit(Name/UUID/Where/Type/Options) keyed on aManaged by felhom-agentmarker; ignores any foreign.mountunit.(*SudoHostOps).ReassertEnrolledMounts(ctx)— at startup (BEFORE binding into the guest) and on the periodic 20s tick: for each enrolled.mountunit, re-resolve by UUID and re-runEnsureMount(idempotentsystemctl enable --now) — re-enables a disabled unit AND mounts the CURRENT device by UUID, so a/dev/sdXreshuffle is a no-op. Skips ONLY the durable steady state (mounted AND enabled), via the pureshouldReassertMount; a mounted-but-DISABLED unit (the exact live felhom-usb bug — it serves now but a reboot would not auto-mount it) is still re-asserted to re-create the wants-symlink. Enabled-state is read with a privilege-freeos.Lstatof themulti-user.target.wantssymlink (unitEnabled) — nosystemctl is-enabledsubprocess, no new sudoers entry. An absent UUID is skipped (re-asserts on a later tick).- Wired in
main.goahead ofReassertGuestBindsso mounts are live before the guest binds re-assert. - Tests (Linux, seam the device-resolution):
TestResolveStorageDevice_ToleratesDeviceLetterMove(UUID symlink moved sdb→sdc → resolves sdc; companion asserts the cached enroll-time node differs from the freshly-resolved one — a node-based remount would target the wrong device),..._AbsentAndScheme(absent UUID errors; only theuuid:scheme resolvable),TestParseFelhomMountUnit(render→parse round-trip + rejects a foreign unit),TestShouldReassertMount(the four mounted/enabled combos — pins the mounted-but-disabled re-assert),TestUnitEnabled(wants-symlink detection).
TASK A2 — verdict: enrolling a NEW drive does NOT need an LXC restart. The enroll path lands on the
live intermediary-mount AttachDrive (/disks/guest-attach → handleDiskGuestAttach → AttachDrive,
"no pct, no reboot") under the single shared parent — unbounded named live slots — NOT the legacy
RebootGuest branch. The operator's pre-created-slot-pool idea is therefore unnecessary.
v0.36.7 — isolate the shared parent only on CREATE (no peer-group churn) (2026-06-15)
Follow-up to v0.36.6: make-private+make-shared must run ONLY when the self-bind is first created, not on every reconcile — re-doing it churns the peer-group id and ORPHANS the guest`s already-established slave (propagation silently dies, guest sees empty). Guarded on the mountpoint check; on a fresh boot it runs once before pve-guests so the guest slaves the right group.
v0.36.6 — shared parent gets its OWN peer group (make-private first) — ROOT CAUSE of double-bind (2026-06-15)
The shared-parent self-bind INHERITED the root mounts shared peer group (/mnt/felhom-driveswasshared:1same as/), so every drive bind under it propagated back via the root peer and DOUBLED (2 stacked binds per drive — the real cause behind v0.36.3-.5). EnsureSharedParent + the boot script now make-private(detach from the root group) BEFOREmake-shared` (own group whose only slave is the
guest), so a drive bind propagates to the guest exactly once.
v0.36.5 — AttachDrive normalizes to exactly one bind (2026-06-15)
AttachDrive now COUNTS the binds at a stable path (countHostMounts) and normalizes to exactly one: it is a no-op only when there is exactly ONE bind the guest sees; otherwise it strips ALL existing binds (bounded loop) and lays down one fresh bind. This converges a stacked double-bind to one — the old umount-one+mount-one force-rebind never did. Caught when a double-bind survived a guest reboot.
v0.36.4 — serialize AttachDrive/DetachDrive (no double-bind race) (2026-06-15)
A mutex on GuestBinder serializes AttachDrive/DetachDrive so a controller-triggered reconnect and the agent`s periodic reconcile can no longer both pass the isHostMountpoint check and double-bind the same stable path (a TOCTOU race observed live as 2 stacked binds during rapid eject/reconnect).
v0.36.3 — DetachDrive loop-umounts stacked binds (2026-06-15)
DetachDrive now umounts ALL stacked binds at a stable path (bounded loop), not just one layer — so an eject/detach fully detaches even if more than one bind accumulated (operator bind on top, or a rare attach race), keeping the fail-close intact. Caught in the E13 rapid eject/reconnect sweep.
v0.36.2 — eject also keeps the raw mounted (reconnectable) (2026-06-15)
Extends v0.36.1 to EJECT: eject now DetachDrive`s the bind under the parent but LEAVES the raw /mnt/ mounted (consistent with decommission), so the H1 disconnect→reconnect roundtrip re-binds cleanly on a non-removable drive. Physical removal is the separate "remove from system" action. Test: eject calls DetachDrive + does NOT unmount the raw.
v0.36.1 — decommission keeps the raw mounted (re-enrollable) (2026-06-15)
Fix caught in the E10 acceptance test: the self-serve decommission unmounted the RAW /mnt/ host mount, which orphaned a non-removable drive (no re-plug) so a one-click re-enroll bound an empty dir. On the intermediary model decommission is now a LOGICAL retire — it DetachDrive`s the bind under the parent (drive invisible to the guest) but LEAVES the raw mounted, so re-enroll re-binds cleanly. Physical removal stays the separate "remove from system" action. Test updated.
v0.36.0 — guest boot-id on /disks (deterministic guest-reboot recreate) (2026-06-15)
The agent now emits guest_boot_id on GET /disks: <host-btime>-<guest-init-starttime> — changes on
every guest boot (host reboot OR guest reboot) but is STABLE across a controller-only restart. The
controller persists the last-seen value and DETERMINISTICALLY recreates drive-backed apps when it
changes (replacing the fragile timed state-sample that could miss an app stopped at the sample instant).
GuestBootID reads /proc/stat btime + field 22 of /proc/<init-pid>/stat (parsed after the last
) so a comm with spaces/parens does not break it).
v0.35.1 — shared-parent unit: run before pve-guests on host boot (2026-06-15)
Fix for the host-reboot ordering (the shared-parent oneshot never ran before pve-guests on the live
host, so the guest bound a not-yet-shared parent → private bind → propagation broken). The unit now uses
WantedBy=pve-guests.service (pve-guests PULLS IT IN + Before= orders it first) instead of the
unreliable WantedBy=multi-user.target, and drops DefaultDependencies=no. EnsureSharedParent
reinstalls the unit when its content differs (so the fix deploys on the next agent start/reconcile).
v0.35.0 — intermediary mount: guest-reboot re-propagation (load-bearing) (2026-06-15)
Fix for the guest-reboot gap (caught in the live demo migration). A guest's parent bind is NON-RECURSIVE, so on a guest reboot it does NOT carry the pre-existing drive submount, and mount propagation only delivers events created AFTER the bind exists — so an enrolled drive is bound on the HOST but INVISIBLE in the fresh guest namespace until re-bound. Without this, every guest reboot left the apps on empty dirs.
AttachDrivenow takesvmidand checks GUEST visibility (GuestSeesMount, reading/proc/<guest-init-pid>/mountinfo): if the host has the bind but the guest doesn't see it (post-reboot), it FORCE re-binds (umount + mount) to re-fire propagation into the current guest ns.- A periodic reconcile (20s ticker in main) re-runs
ReassertGuestBinds, so a guest reboot self-heals without an agent restart.EnsureSharedParentskips the unit re-install when already present (cheap on repeat). /disksBoundUnderParentnow reflects GUEST visibility (not the host mount) — the accurate signal the controller's drive-absent gate keys on to stop/restart apps across a guest reboot.
v0.34.0 — intermediary mount model: shared-parent + host-side attach/detach + reconcile (2026-06-15)
The drive hot-swap re-architecture (SPIKE-intermediary-mount). Replaces the per-drive pct set -mpN
bind (which needed a guest reboot to activate and bricked the guest when a drive was absent at boot)
with a SINGLE permanent parent bind /mnt/felhom-drives plus host-side swaps underneath it.

v0.33.0 — C1 net: pre-start self-heal hook + decommission mp-delete (2026-06-15)
The transitional defense for the C1 brick (B3 critical bug) ahead of the intermediary-mount re-architecture (which makes C1 structural). Two independent nets:
- Pre-start self-heal hook (
internal/guesthook): a PVEpre-starthookscript runsfelhom-agent guest-hook <vmid> <phase>which, for every BIND mountpoint whose source path is missing, creates an empty host-root-owned placeholder dir so the bind succeeds and the guest always boots — fail-closed (host uid 0 is unmapped in the unprivileged-LXC userns, so the guest can't write to the placeholder; a returning drive shadows it). It CREATES rather than DELETEs becausepct set --deletein pre-start would take the config lock the start task already holds (dead-times-out → still bricks); the heal logic is in unit-tested Go, the wrapper just delegates. Installed + registered per-guest by the provision back-half (InstallSnippet/Register). - Decommission mp-delete (
GuestBinder.DetachBind+handleDiskDecommission): decommission now runspct set <vmid> --delete mpNon the slot binding the drive (lock-safe on the running guest), so its now-missing source can't brick the next reboot. The old handler unmounted but left the deadmpNin config — the exact B3 C1 bug. Eject keeps its mp (temporary; the hook covers a reboot-while-ejected).
Tests (non-hollow, each with a companion that fails the pre-fix/trivial impl):
internal/guesthook/heal_test.go (selector ignores storage volumes + present binds, heals only the
absent one; "return nothing"/"return all" both fail) and TestDecommission_DeletesGuestMount
(asserts the correct slot is --deleted; pre-fix never calls DetachBind → fails).
Sudoers: new FELHOM_GUESTHOOK alias (snippet install, pct set --hookscript, pct set --delete mpN).
v0.32.0 — self-serve decommission + intent-aware re-assert (B2a) (2026-06-14)
Customer-self-serve storage decommission (no operator signature; non-destructive — never formats), plus the load-bearing fix that keeps a decommissioned drive from auto-rebinding into the guest.
POST /disks/decommission(internal/localapi/disks.gohandleDiskDecommission, route inserver.go) — mirrorshandleDiskEjectexactly:withGuestself-scoping,scopedFromBody, and the same user-data role gate (roleForMountPathmust beRoleUserData, else 403; fail-safe-to- protected on ambiguity) so a compromised controller can't decommission system/backup storage. It records a PERMANENTIntentDecommissioned, prunes theGuestBindStoreentry (hygiene), and unmounts (so the drive is physically removable). It NEVER calls any format/mkfs path — the data stays on the drive. The operator-signedDecommissionExecutor+reconcile.Classifyclassification are untouched (the absent-drive/DR route).ReassertGuestBindsis now intent-aware (THE correctness fix): the startup re-assert skips any durable-id whose intent is notenrolled, so a decommissioned- (or ejected-) but-still-present drive is never auto-rebound into the guest on agent restart. A nil intent store falls back to legacy bind-all (matching the watchdog's nil-intent rule). Covers both the self-serve and the operator- signed decommission paths (both land onIntentDecommissioned).GuestBindStore.Remove(vmid, durableID)(internal/localapi/guestbindstore.go) — idempotent (absent = no-op), atomic tmp+rename likeRecord; drops the vmid key when its set empties.

validated live on guest 9201 (approach: attach-to-existing, no re-provision — see the audit fixspec).
- F9 — guest data-drive bind survives a re-provision (
4cd1d02). The in-guest bind (pct set -mpN) is config state a destroy+re-provision drops, and nothing restored it → a re-provisioned guest came up with its enrolled HDD unattached. NewGuestBindStore(durable-id-keyed, per guest, recorded at guest-attach) +ReassertGuestBindson agent startup re-adds any bind a guest is missing — only when the durable-id still resolves to a present drive (a swapped/absent disk is never auto-bound), idempotent. PlusDiskInfo.GuestAttached— the missing "bound into THIS guest" signal (vs mere host presence; resolves the F2hdd_configureddisagreement). Live-proven: dropped the bind, restarted the agent (real trigger) → re-attached with no manual call; reboot activated it; an HDD app then deployed onto the drive with data on/dev/sdb1. - F20-BUG2 — one wipe durable-id scheme (
a2a76e7)./disksadvertised onlydurable_id(uuid:, used for assign), but the wipe gate resolvesbyid:/byuuid:→ confirming a wipe with the advertised id was abinding_mismatch. NewDiskInfo.WipeDurableIDvia a shareds.deviceDurableIDseam used by BOTH the list and the gate, so the id the customer copies is the id the gate accepts. Live-proven: a confirmed wipe using/api/disks'swipe_durable_idis accepted (no mismatch). - F20-BUG3 — format runs detached; survives a request deadline AND an agent restart (
4777f8a). mkfs ran under the HTTP request context, so a client deadline SIGKILLed it mid-write → corrupt disk. Now mkfs runs offs.baseCtxvia a persistedformatJobrecord; the handler still returns the synchronous result (backward-compatible) but a dropped request no longer kills it. NewGET /disks/format/status;RecoverFormatJobon startup re-runs an interrupted durable-id-bound format (re-resolved; anti-retarget — a blank/path-bound or unresolvable job is not auto-re-run). Live-proven on the 916 GB felhom-usb: a 2 s client timeout left a ~30 s mkfs running to a clean ext4 (the live-drive corruption is gone); an agent restart mid-format was recovered + completed to a clean fs.
Security fix (from the 2026-06-13 deep-sweep audit). The inline customer-confirmed wipe in
internal/localapi/disks.go handleDiskFormat inspected and gate-bound the device by its durable id
but then ran mkfs on the caller-supplied mutable /dev path (req.Device). A USB re-enumeration
reassigning that /dev node to a different physical disk between inspection and mkfs (a
classify→mkfs TOCTOU) could wipe the wrong drive.
- New

v0.29.1 — lanresolver: RESTART dnsmasq on change (not reload) — fixes stale split-horizon IP (2026-06-13)
Bug: after a guest's DHCP IP moved (e.g. the v0.29.0 9201 re-provision: .151 → .141), the LAN
split-horizon resolver kept answering the OLD IP, so LAN clients (via Pi-hole's conditional forward to
the host dnsmasq) resolved *.demo-felhom.eu to the dead IP. Root cause: lanresolver.Manager updated
the per-customer drop-in (address=/<domain>/<ip>) correctly but then ran systemctl reload dnsmasq
(SIGHUP) — and dnsmasq's SIGHUP does NOT re-read its config files (/etc/dnsmasq.d/*.conf); it only
clears the cache + re-reads /etc/hosts/addn-hosts. So the changed address= directive never took
effect until a restart. Fix: reload() → restartDnsmasq() (systemctl restart dnsmasq) for every
config-drop-in change (ReconcileGuest IP change, EnsureDnsmasq base change, Remove/decommission). Restart
is sub-second and the records carry local-ttl 0, so downstream forwarders don't cache a stale answer.
(Live: after the fix + a one-time host dnsmasq restart + a Pi-hole cache flush, *.demo-felhom.eu
resolves to the live guest IP again; future IP moves now self-heal on the loop's next tick.)
v0.29.0 — OS / Docker-data storage split: golden + provision (2026-06-13)
Phase 1 of the storage-split slice (Phase 2 = felhom-controller v0.58.0 prevention layer). The
controller guest's OS rootfs and Docker data are carved onto separate local-lvm volumes for
RESILIENCE — an isolated OS rootfs stays bootable + agent-recoverable if the Docker volume fills.
configs/build-golden.sh— split baked in:--rootfs ${ROOTFS_STORAGE}:${OS_SIZE_GB}(default 32, was hardcoded 8) plus--mp0 ${ROOTFS_STORAGE}:${GOLDEN_DOCKER_GB},mp=/var/lib/docker,backup=1(default 16). The baked controller + infra images land on the data volume and travel inside the golden archive (no empty-volume shadowing, no deploy-time pull).backup=1is MANDATORY — extra LXC mountpoints default tobackup=0= EXCLUDED from vzdump (spike B3), which would drop the images from the archive entirely. The script now also bakes Docker log rotation intodaemon.json(max-size 10m,max-file 3— prevention layer 2D), asserts/var/lib/dockeris a separate mount, and aborts if vzdump excludes mp0.internal/reconcile/bringup.go— sized provision:GuestMountgainsBackup(emits,backup=1— closes the spike-B3/B5 silent-DB-loss trap at the mount builder).BringUpSpecgainsDataVolGrowGB+DataVolMount(defaultmp0): provision GROWS the golden-carried Docker-data volume online to the per-customer target (grow-only, spike B4) rather than attaching a fresh empty volume that would shadow the baked images. PlusRootfsGrowGBfor the OS rootfs.- CLI seam:
--selftest=bring-up|provisiongain-rootfs-grow/-datavol-grow/-datavol-mountflags. Per-customer sizing source = flags now, the slice-10 hub storage manifest later. RUNBOOK-provisioning-storage.md(new): the split provisioning procedure + fresh-PVE-install thin-pool carving knobs (hdsize/maxroot/maxvz, spike B4) + the per-customer sizing seam.- Tests:
buildBringUpConfigbackup=1 emission; bring-up issues rootfs + data-volume resizes.
(no version) — storage OS/data-split spike findings (2026-06-13)
Investigation only — no code changed. Findings report: REPORT-storage-split-spike.md (gates the
provisioning spec for splitting the controller guest's OS rootfs from its Docker/data onto separate
local-lvm volumes). Proven on a throwaway unprivileged LXC (9300, since destroyed): Docker data-root
on a second local-lvm mountpoint works (overlayfs/ext4, no idmap issue, reboot-survives); the
move-then-verify migration is safe (copy-not-move). Key finding: additional LXC mountpoints are
excluded from vzdump by default — they need backup=1 set and a CT restart — so the docker-data
mount must be attached with ,backup=1 or named-volume DBs silently fall out of PBS. The exact seam is
internal/reconcile/bringup.go:313 (buildConfigParams), which today builds mpN without a backup=
flag; GuestMount should carry the flag. Per-customer sizes belong in the slice-10 hub storage manifest
(marked at bringup.go:49-50); the golden rootfs is hardcoded 8 at configs/build-golden.sh:40.
v0.28.0 — backup re-target → felhom-pbs (offsite DR) + operator-signed decommission (2026-06-12)
Whole-guest backup now defaults to the offsite PBS tier (real DR). BackupConfig.BackupTarget()
returns the configured backup.local_backup_target or, when empty, the new default felhom-pbs — a
PBS datastore on SEPARATE HARDWARE (the DooPlex box), so a host disk/hardware failure no longer takes
the backups with it. The target stays fully configurable (set local_backup_target to local/other
to override); no call site hardcodes it. All NewBackupRunner sites (restore-test scheduler, local-API,
--selftest=backup/restore-test) route through BackupTarget().
Proven live on demo-felhom before the re-point (PHASE 0 gate):
- snapshot-mode
vzdump → felhom-pbsstill fires thecreate storage snapshot 'vzdump'marker, so the 8B.2 early-resume/quiesce signal survives a PBS target (the marker is mode-driven, not target-driven); - the restore-test enumerates PBS backups through the SAME generic
StorageContent(/nodes/<node>/storage/felhom-pbs/contentreturnscontent:"backup"+ ctime/vmid/volid), soPickRestoreCandidate/latestArchiveneed NO PBS-client change; pct restorefrom a PBS volid round-trips cleanly (storage.cfg encryption key applied transparently);- PBS gotchas (
ignore-verified, node-from-UPID, privsep) touch only the verify-API path, not vzdump/restore.
Operator-signed decommission now reachable (slice 10 P3 completion). The previously-unreachable
IntentDecommissioned state (no production caller) is now reached ONLY via a gate-VERIFIED operator
signature — never customer-confirmable, distinct from a safe eject. New internal/signedjobs
DecommissionExecutor (op decommission, classified destructive in reconcile.Classify) calls
IntentStore.SetDecommissioned, keyed by the drive's STORAGE durable-id (the watchdog's key, e.g.
uuid:<fs-uuid> — NOT the device-level byid:/byuuid: scheme storage_wipe uses), so the recorded
intent actually gates future remounts. New ExecutorChain lets the signed-jobs runner serve both
storage_wipe and decommission; the runner wiring moved below the intent-store open in main.go.
felhom-opsign builds decommission params from -durable-id. No controller/customer UI — the operator
path is hub jobs-queue → signed-jobs runner.
Restore-test now boot-verifies slice-10 enrolled guests (bind-mount mountpoints). A guest whose
data drive is a host BIND mount (slice-10 P2 mp0) could not be vzrestore'd by the privsep token
("restoring 'mpN' to bind mount is only possible for root") — so the restore-test failed for every
enrolled guest, regardless of backup tier (surfaced during the felhom-pbs live validation). The
restore-test now reads the SOURCE guest config (vmid parsed from the archive volid — PBS ct/<vmid>/
and vzdump vzdump-lxc-<vmid>- forms) and passes RestoreLXCOptions.MountOverrides that neutralize
each bind-mount mpN to a throwaway 1G volume on the restore storage (needs no root; the boot-verify
doesn't need the drive's data, and the host paths would otherwise collide). Storage-backed mountpoints
are restored normally; best-effort (an unreadable source config restores as-is). proxmox.RestoreLXC
gained MountOverrides. Verified live: restore-test from felhom-pbs of bind-mounted guest 9201 →
boot+running PASS.
v0.27.0 — slice 10 P3: self-heal watchdog reconcile + 4-state intent model (2026-06-12)
The storage watchdog goes from detect-only → detect-and-reconcile: the agent autonomously re-mounts an enrolled external drive that dropped out-of-band (the colleague's Proxmox unmount), gated by a persisted INTENT model so it never auto-adopts an unknown drive or fights an official eject.
internal/storage/intent.go—IntentStore— durable, durable-id-keyed (UUID/WWN, never sdX/path), atomic-write 4-state model:new(not recorded → never auto-mount),enrolled(desired mounted → reconcile drift),ejected(intentional unmount → leave alone),decommissioned(permanent).OnAbsentclearsejected→enrolledso a replug auto-mounts (the replug rule). Records intent ONLY through the official enroll/eject paths — an out-of-band unmount records nothing and is healed. Tests cover the states, persistence, the replug rule, and the reconcile gate.watchdog.go— intent-gated reconcile + flapping guard (3C) — the re-mount candidate (device present, not mounted) now fires ONLY for anenrolleddrive (viaIntentReader); a present→absent transition (device gone) callsOnAbsent. Exponential backoff (debounce·2^fails) + an alert after 4 failed cycles + a hard stop after 8 (no infinite loop). Failure = "still not present a full backoff window after we dispatched" (a slow async re-mount isn't miscounted). Tests: colleague-unmount→ reconciled; ejected/new/decommissioned→left alone; ejected→absent→replug→auto-mount; flapping→caps.internal/localapi—POST /disks/guest-attachrecordsenrolled;POST /disks/ejectrecordsejected(BEFORE unmount, while the durable-id still resolves) via the newIntentRecorder.main.goopens oneIntentStore(<StateDir>/drive-intents.json) shared by the watchdog + local API; open failure degrades to ungated legacy remount (logged).
v0.26.0 — slice 10 P2 activation: guest-reboot endpoint (user-triggered drive activation) (2026-06-12)
A drive enrolled into a RUNNING unprivileged guest can't be live-activated (proven: pct set won't
hot-apply; /proc/<pid>/root bind → mount-locking refusal; nsenter -m loses the host source). So the
bind activates at the next guest boot. This adds the user-triggered restart path.
POST /guest/reboot(internal/localapi) — self-scoped (vmid from token). Runspct reboot <vmid>detached (it blocks ~30s until the guest is back) and returns 202 immediately, so the calling controller gets a clean response before the reboot takes it down (the agent is host-side and survives).GuestBinder.RebootGuestover the fenced runner. Tests:TestGuestReboot_Accepted(202 + RebootGuest invoked for the token's vmid),TestGuestReboot_CrossGuest403(body vmid mismatch refused, no reboot). Pairs with controller v0.49.0 (pending-activation detection + "Újraindítás most").
v0.25.0 — slice 10 P2: bind enrolled user-data drives into the guest (passthrough) (2026-06-12)
External user-data drives are mounted on the HOST but were never passed INTO the guest (diagnosed
Branch A), so apps silently wrote to the rootfs and the controller couldn't see them. This adds the
guest passthrough. Spike-proven on 9201 first (see REPORT / the usb-passthrough-spike findings):
pct set bind form (host path, never storage:size), chown to the guest base (idmap not clean
for mixed-ownership data), shared:49 propagation host↔guest automatic.
POST /disks/guest-attach(internal/localapi) — self-scoped (vmid from token). Binds an enrolled drive's felhom-data namespace into the guest at/mnt/<name>(Model A: the felhom-data dir is the bind source mounted AT/mnt/<name>, so only Felhom's namespace crosses into the guest — the customer's other data on the drive never does). Idempotent (returns the existing slot if already bound); picks the lowest freempN; validateswhereis/mnt/<name>(no traversal).GuestBinder(internal/localapi/guestbind.go) — the host-root steps over the fencedproxmox.Runner(same pattern as the provision back-half's bind):mkdir -p <drive>/felhom-data→chown 100000:100000the namespace ROOT (not -R; per-app subdirs are chowned at deploy) →pct set <vmid> -mpN <drive>/felhom-data,mp=/mnt/<name>(RW bind). The namespace is created fresh + uniformly owned, which sidesteps the drive's pre-existing mixed-ownership data entirely.- Tests —
TestGuestAttach_*: free-slot selection (mp0 when mp9 taken), idempotency (no re-bind +already:true), bad-path rejection (traversal/non-/mnt/multi-component), not-configured 503.
Pairs with felhom-controller P2C (enroll triggers attach) + the golden's /mnt:rslave controller bind
(P2B). Self-heal reconcile (P3) and dual-role (P4) follow.
v0.24.0 — role-gate the eject path (system/backup mounts are unmount-protected at the agent) (2026-06-12)
Closes the eject gap in the storage-authorization redesign: POST /disks/eject now refuses to
unmount a system or backup storage, enforced at the agent — not just hidden in the controller UI.
A direct API call (or a compromised controller) trying to eject {where:"/var/lib/vz"} or the PBS
mount is refused 403; only user-data mounts are ejectable.
handleDiskEject(internal/localapi/disks.go) — beforeUnmount, resolves the AUTHORITATIVE protection role of the storage mounted atwhere(the agent's own storage-view + host-topology classification, never the caller's claim) via the newroleForMountPath. Refuses (403, noUnmount) unless the role isuser-data. Fails SAFE: an unresolvable mount (view error or no storage target at that path) → treated as protected → refused (the same most-protected-on-ambiguity default the wipe gate uses). Mirrors the wipe path's "protected — eject refused by role" logging.roleForMountPath+hostReaderseam —roleForMountPathkeysRoleForStorageon the mount path (the eject input), mirroringdeviceRole.Options.HostReader(optional; defaults to the production*storage.ProcHostReader) injects the root-free topology reader so the role-gate is unit- testable.handleDisks/deviceRolenow share the same seam.- Tests —
TestEject_RoleGatedasserts asystemand abackupmount are refused with noUnmount, auser-datamount ejects, and an unresolvable mount fails safe to refused (the same non-hollowness the wipe tests use).TestEject_UnmountAndDependentsupdated to a user-data target.
v0.23.0 — device-ROLE classification + tiered storage-wipe gate (system/backup operator-only, user-data customer-confirmable) (2026-06-11)
The storage-authorization redesign (agent half). The gate's destructive-wipe path is now tiered by the device's protection ROLE, which the agent classifies from its OWN inspection — never the caller's claim (the storage analog of classify.go's data-bearing verdict).
internal/storage/role.go—DeviceRole(system|backup|user-data) + the authoritative classifier.RoleForStorage(storage-view targets) andRoleForRawDevice(a raw device, e.g. a fresh disk in the init flow) map a device to its tier viaSystemDisks(the whole-disks backing/,/boot,/boot/efi, root-free reads). Rules:pbs→ backup;lvmthin/ builtinlocal/ nfs / cifs / unknown → system;usb/local-diron a non-system external device → user-data. Fail-safe: any ambiguity (system disks unknown, or an unrecognizable device topology) → system (most-protected) — never silently user-data.GET /disks— eachDiskInfonow carriesrole. The controller drives the UI from it (system/backup get a lock + no destructive controls; user-data is customer-manageable).- Gate tier (
reconcile) — newCustomerConfirmabledisposition +Gate.AuthorizeStorageWipe:- role=user-data → customer-confirmable: allowed iff the request carries an explicit
customer confirmation bound to the device's durable id (the agent re-resolves the durable id
and matches; a confirmation for one disk can't wipe another). No operator signature. A
user-data drive is already within the in-guest controller's blast radius (it bind-mounts
/mnt), so customer-confirmation adds no new reach. Recorded in the audit log with the durable id (AuditRecord.DurableID). - role=system/backup → unchanged operator-signature (
pending_signature). Theconfirmedflag is IGNORED — a compromised controller assertingconfirmed:trueon a protected device is refused by role. Every other destructive class (guest_destroy,decommission,restore_overwrite,key_rotation) keeps operator-signature exactly as before.
- role=user-data → customer-confirmable: allowed iff the request carries an explicit
customer confirmation bound to the device's durable id (the agent re-resolves the durable id
and matches; a confirmation for one disk can't wipe another). No operator signature. A
user-data drive is already within the in-guest controller's blast radius (it bind-mounts
POST /disks/format— acceptsconfirmed+durable_id(inert for system/backup). The data-bearing path tiers by role: user-data customer-confirmed →mkfs; user-data unconfirmed → 403needs_confirmation(+ the durable id to confirm against, NOT an opsign command); system/backup → 403 with the operator-signature pending op (as before). Blank devices stay benignmkfs.- Tests —
role_test.go(demo-storage mapping + fail-safe),storage_wipe_test.go(the gate refuses aconfirmedwipe on system/backup → no exec; durable-id mismatch / missing-durable refused; unknown role fails safe), and the localapi format-handler branches (user-data confirmed → mkfs; user-data unconfirmed → needs_confirmation, no opsign; confirmed-but-protected → still refused).
Pairs with the controller's lockout + type-to-confirm UX + drive-list restyle.
v0.22.0 — expose durable_id in GET /disks (enable controller-side guided storage) (2026-06-11)
One-line, read-only addition: localapi.DiskInfo gains durable_id (mapped from
StorageTarget.DurableID, e.g. "uuid:<fs-uuid>" for usb/local-dir). The de-privileged controller
cannot read a device's fs UUID itself, yet POST /disks/assign mounts strictly by UUID — so without
this it could not complete the guided init/attach flows. The controller strips the uuid: prefix to
get the assign key. No new privilege, no behaviour change to format/assign/eject or the data-bearing
gate. Pairs with felhom-controller v0.43.0 (the storage-management UI rebuild).
v0.21.0 — agent-managed split-horizon LAN resolver (internal/lanresolver) (2026-06-11)
LAN clients can now reach their guest directly at the same public hostname with the same real wildcard cert (no Cloudflare hairpin), via a host-side dnsmasq the agent manages. The host is the stable anchor (static LAN IP); the guest stays DHCP/ephemeral and the agent tracks its live IP.
internal/lanresolver— renders a dnsmasq base drop-in (bind to the host LAN IP, no-resolv, upstreams) + a per-customer drop-inlocal=/<domain>/+address=/<domain>/<guest-ip>. The proven two-line shape:local=makes dnsmasq authoritative for the zone so AAAA returns NODATA (no Cloudflare-AAAA split-brain — the guest has only link-local v6),address=is the wildcard A; all other names (and their AAAA) forward upstream unchanged.Managerensures dnsmasq present (apt) + the base config + enabled, discovers the guest's live IPv4 (pct exec <vmid> -- ip -4 -o addr show dev eth0) and domain (read from the guest controller's pulledcontroller.yaml— the v2 bootstrap omits it), writes drop-ins write-if-changed, and reloads (not restarts) dnsmasq. Tolerates the early-boot pre-lease window (empty IP → skip+retry, never a blank record). Logs IP transitions.Loop— a 7th daemon goroutine: every interval (default 300s) it enumerates provisioned guests (/var/lib/felhom-agent/guests/<vmid>/) and reconciles each, so the resolver follows DHCP IP changes. Configlan_resolver.{enable,host_ip,upstreams,interval_seconds}(host_ip defaults to the local-API bridge IP).--selftest=lanresolver -vmid N.configs/felhom-agent.sudoers— newFELHOM_DNSMASQalias (apt install dnsmasq; install felhom-.conf drop-ins; systemctl enable/reload dnsmasq; rm felhom-.conf; the two FIXEDpct execreads). The agent never touches/etc/resolv.conf(host's own resolution unaffected).- Box-down robustness is a documented router config (DNS = [host-IP primary, upstream secondary]) so a box reboot degrades to the Cloudflare path, not total DNS loss — see REPORT install step.
- Spiked live on felhom-pve first (
:53free, host IP static192.168.0.162, host DNS intact, full loop from a real LAN client returned the guest IP + AAAA NODATA + the real wildcard cert200 0).
v0.20.0 — golden: stacks-dir bind + per-guest hostname/CT name + bake base-infra images (2026-06-11)
Lockstep with felhom-controller v0.41.0 + a golden rebake. Changes in configs/build-golden.sh and
the provision path; no change to the proxmox/authz/token fences.
- Section-G mount fix (the load-bearing one): the in-guest controller writes app/infra compose
stacks under
/opt/docker/stacksinside its container, but the baked controller-bootstrapdocker runnever bind-mounted that path. Sodocker compose up(run by the GUEST daemon over the shared socket) resolved every relative bind source on the guest filesystem — silently creating empty dirs — which broke every bind-mounted stack (base infra AND customer apps like immich/nextcloud). The bootstrap unit nowmkdir -p /opt/docker/stacksand adds a same-path host bind-v /opt/docker/stacks:/opt/docker/stacks(a named volume would NOT fix this). Empirically confirmed on guest 9201 before writing the fix. - Per-guest container hostname (3A): the bootstrap unit derives
customer.idfrom/etc/felhom-bootstrap/bootstrap.jsonwith a portablesedparse (NO jq in the golden) and passes--hostname <customer-id>todocker run, so the controller'sos.Hostname()(its hub-reported hostname) is the customer id, not the Docker container ID. Fail-safe: no parse → no--hostname. - Per-guest CT/LXC name (3B):
--selftest=provisionnow defaults-hostnameto the (DNS-safe sanitized)-customer-idwhen not given, so the bring-up's existingSetConfig hostnamestep (bringup.go) names the CT meaningfully (e.g.demo-felhom) instead of inheriting the golden'sfelhom-golden. NewsanitizeHostname(lowercase, collapse invalid →-, trim, ≤63). - Bake base-infra images: the golden now also pulls the three PINNED, PUBLIC base-infra images
(
traefik:v3.6.7,cloudflare/cloudflared:2026.6.0,gtstef/filebrowser:1.3.3-stable) into its Docker storage so the controller's first-boot bring-up is OFFLINE-capable. A hard gate (docker manifest inspect) fails the bake early on a bad pin. Tags MUST match the controller'sinternal/infraconstants.
v0.19.0 — bootstrap contract v2: agent relays the hub retrieval passphrase (no host key in the guest) (2026-06-11)
Lockstep with felhom-controller v0.40.0. Fixes the onboarding 401: a freshly provisioned guest's
controller used to come up with the agent's host hub key baked in, which the hub's /api/v1/report
(customer-scoped auth) rejects. The agent now bakes a v2 bootstrap carrying only what the controller
needs to pull its own config from the hub — the agent never touches the customer-scoped key or CF
tokens.
Changed — bootstrap contract v1 → v2 (internal/provision)

v0.18.0 — slice 10D: DR capstone — identity escrow + restore-mode consumption (agent side) (2026-06-10)
The agent half of the slice-10 DR capstone (closes slice 10). Grounded by both 10-series spikes (escrow-consumption + identity-restore). The hub half (recovery-mode toggle, re-enroll + credential rotation, directive serving) is hub v0.11.0. Operator-side rotation model (locked): the hub holds no Cloudflare write-power; the destructive tunnel/PBS rotation is the operator's step from a trusted environment (same spirit as 10B).

v0.17.0 — slice 10C: escrow consumption (productionize the spike) (2026-06-10)
Turns the throwaway 10C spike harness into a real, tested Consume path: recover the PBS key
K from an R-wrapped escrow blob, gate it on the expected fingerprint, and install it for the
restore. The spike already proved the crypto + real-data restore; this bakes its findings into
production code. Agent-only — 10C reads the four inputs as parameters (so it stays
standalone-testable); 10D sources blob/fingerprint/PBS-connection from the hub and prompts for R.
Zero-knowledge holds: the hub serves everything except R (by hand from the customer), so a
hub compromise alone still can't decrypt.
Added
escrow.Consume(ctx, blob, R, expectedFingerprint, keyDest)— the consumption contract:- Unwrap the blob (a copy — F-C6: the input blob is read-only → a failed Consume is
retryable) with
R; a wrong R fails closed at the scrypt KDF (F-C3) → a clear, R-free error, nothing written. - Fingerprint gate (F-C4) —
KeyFingerprint(recovered)must equal the expected (the hub knows it); a mismatch fails fast + loud, no install, no restore attempted. - Atomic install (F-C2) at
keyDest(0600, write-temp-sibling→rename); any failure leaves no partial install. The recovered key lives only in a0700tempdir that is always removed. Secret discipline:Rand key bytes are never logged/persisted (only fingerprint prefixes);Kis never mutated.
- Unwrap the blob (a copy — F-C6: the input blob is read-only → a failed Consume is
retryable) with
--selftest=escrow-consume(-blob -fingerprint -keydest, R via envFELHOM_RECOVERY_CODEto keep it off the command line) — invokes the realConsumelive (the spike's S3 via the production path, not a harness).
Tests (non-hollow)
- valid → key installed +
KeyFingerprint(dest) == expected+0600+ blob byte-unchanged; wrong R → error, no file at dest, blob unchanged; fingerprint mismatch → fail fast, no install (the gate runs before any restore); input validation; format-tolerant fingerprint compare (no empty-fingerprint gate-bypass); atomic-install permissions (integration tests gated to a host withproxmox-backup-client).
v0.16.0 — slice 10B: operator-signed destructive completion (offline key + signing CLI) (2026-06-10)
The security centerpiece: a destructive op runs ONLY on a verified, operator-signed authorization
— signature valid against a pinned operator pubkey (never the hub's or the blob's), nonce
unseen + durably burned, in-window, host-bound, and resource-bound to a DURABLE device id that
execution re-resolves + re-inspects. Decision (a): offline operator key + signing CLI,
hardware-key-ready (sk-/YubiKey via ssh-keygen). The key floor holds: the signing key is NOT in
the hub and NOT in the agent. Concrete consumer: this closes the 8C data-bearing-wipe
pending_signature gap. Pairs with hub v0.10.0.
Added
cmd/felhom-opsign— the operator's offline signing CLI. Builds the canonicalOpBlobby reusingauthz.CanonicalBlob(the exact production path the verifier authenticates over — so signer + verifier can never drift) and signs it withssh-keygen -Y sign -n felhom-op-v1(hardware-ready). Output: a{op_blob_b64, sig_armored}envelope to hand to the hub jobs queue (optional--upload). Touches ONLY the operator's signing key.authz.CanonicalBlob— promoted to production (was test-only) so the CLI + verifier share one canonical-bytes source; params canonicalized (sorted keys, compact).internal/storagedurable device identity (durable_device.go):DeviceDurableID(derive a stablebyid:(wwn/serial)/byuuid:id from the world-readable udev symlinks — no privilege, no subprocess) +ResolveDurableDevice(re-resolve to the current/devpath; a path-only/unknown scheme is REFUSED). The resource-level anti-retarget.internal/signedjobs(new): the queue consumer.Runnerfetches each opaque job → runs it through the gate (the LOCKED authz pipeline) → on all-pass hands the verified op to anExecutor; the order is verify → nonce-burn (durable, in Verify) → execute → clear job. TheWipeExecutoris the 8C consumer: resolve the signed durable id → re-derive + match (anti-retarget) → re-inspect (8C classifier) the device is still the data-bearing target →mkfs. A vanished/changed/non-data-bearing device or a path-only binding is refused even with a valid signature. Wired as a secondEnvelopeObserver(runs onHasSignedOps).hub.Client.Jobs/CompleteJob+hub.MultiObserver; the 8C format refusal now surfaces the bound op (op + durable id + host) in its 403pending_op+ afelhom-opsign …hint.
Pinning / rotation
- Operator pubkeys are pinned via
authz.signers(config, trusted path — provision/agent config, NEVER hub-alone), multiple keys (KeyID selects; role-scoped), so a backup/rotation key exists without a flag-day. Unchanged from the slice-4 verifier wiring; 10B activates the execute path.
Tests (real crypto, non-hollow)
signedjobsrunner over the real gate+verifier (in-Go minted SSHSIGs): valid → executor runs once + job cleared; replay (nonce burned) / non-pinned signer / expired / retarget (other host) / forged sig / no pinned signer → all rejected, executor never called; malformed envelope cleared.WipeExecutor: valid →mkfsruns; path-only, durable-id mismatch, device gone, re-inspect non-data-bearing, not-probed → all refused,Formatnot called.storagedurable: wwn-preference, uuid-fallback, path-only/traversal refusal, round-trip, missing-device error (symlink tests gated to Linux — the agent's OS).
v0.15.0 — slice 10A: hub desired-state serving — the "Down" channel (2026-06-10)
The agent half of slice 10A. The control envelope (hub.ControlEnvelope) stops being "reserved — ignored" and becomes the live Down channel: a cheap change-notification on every heartbeat. The agent caches the hub's desired-state + its generation; only when DesiredGeneration advances does it fetch the full state (the heartbeat stays light, the heavy state moves on change). The engine then reconciles benign deltas and the gate marks an explicit destructive delta pending_signature (no signer in 10A → never executed; signed execution is 10B). Pairs with hub v0.9.0.
Added / changed
internal/reconcile:DesiredGuest.Decommission— the canonical destructive desired-state delta (an EXPLICIT flag, not "absent from the list", so a partial hub list can never mass-destroy). The planner emitsActionDecommission→ClassDecommission→ Destructive → the gate refuses itpending_signature.Reconcilenow counts apending_signaturerefusal asResult.Pending(expected, logged INFO) rather than a failure; any other refusal stays a real failure.ActionDecommissionhas no executor (slice 10B) — a defensive guard refuses to run it. NewCachingProvider(thread-safe DesiredState + generation cache;Desired/Update/Generation) — the productionDesiredProvider, replacingEmptyProviderin the daemon engine (empty until the hub serves intent → cold-start is a live no-op, unchanged).internal/hub: theControlEnvelopefields are now active (DesiredGeneration drives the fetch, HasSignedOps noted). New wire typesDesiredStateResponse+WireDesiredState(guests + forward-compatrestore_directive(10D) /pbs_namespace/ opaquestorage_manifest+backup_policy) +WireDesiredGuest(vmid/run/spec/description/decommission). NewClient.FetchDesiredState(GET/api/v1/hosts/{host_id}/desired-state, self-scoped to the client's own host). NewEnvelopeObserverloop seam +SetEnvelopeObserver— the loop hands the envelope to the sync layer each cycle (hub does not import reconcile/desired).internal/desired(new): theSyncer— implementshub.EnvelopeObserver, fetches desired-state on a generation advance, maps the wire shape to the reconcile domain, and updates theCachingProvider. Caches the fetched generation (robust to a generation that advanced mid-fetch); a fetch failure keeps the last-known state.restore_directiveis carried + logged, not acted on (10D). Wired incmd/felhom-agent(daemon): provider → engine, syncer → loop.
Tests
- reconcile: a desired-state with one benign + one decommission delta → benign applied, destructive gated pending (not executed);
Planemits decommission-only for a decommissioned guest + classifies Destructive;CachingProviderupdate/isolation. - desired: fetch-once-on-advance (no re-fetch on an unchanged generation), fetch-failure-keeps-cache, caches-the-fetched-generation.
- hub client:
FetchDesiredStatehits the self-scoped path with the bearer + decodes (incl.restore_directive); a 403 is a typedHTTPError. - loop: the cycle notifies the observer + adopts
PollIntervalSeconds; a report error skips the observer. - cross-repo golden:
testdata/desired-state.golden.json+control-envelope.golden.jsondecode + key-set guard, byte-identical with felhom.eu/hub.
v0.14.0 — slice 9: host metrics to the controller (GET /host/metrics + CPU-temp collector) (2026-06-10)
The de-privileged controller (slice 8C) sees only its own cgroup, so it can't read host health itself. Slice 9 re-serves the slice-4 collector's host + per-storage view to the customer over the local API, plus the one missing collector — CPU/chassis temperature — so the customer sees their box's health in the controller. Host-wide, token-authed, fresh (a live collect, not the 15-min hub snapshot). Assumption: one customer per host (the home-server model); if a host ever serves multiple customers, host-wide CPU/mem would leak cross-customer load → revisit then.
Added / changed
- CPU/chassis-temp collector (
internal/hub/cputemp.go):SysfsTempReaderreads the CPU package temperature straight from sysfs — hwmon (coretemp/k10temp/zenpower/cpu_thermal, preferring thePackage id 0input) then the thermal zones (preferringx86_pkg_temp/coretemp/cpu-thermal, falling back toacpitz). No external binary, no privilege (sysfs nodes are world-readable), so the root-CLI fence is untouched. Graceful-null: a missing sensor, an unsupported board, an implausible reading (outside 5–150 °C), or any read error all degrade tonull("n/a") — a missing sensor never fails the report. Wired into the collector via the newTempReaderseam (nil-safe). HostMetrics.CPUTempC *int(cpu_temp_c) — new nullable wire field on the sharedHostMetricsstruct (same nullable contract as the diskSmartSummary.TemperatureC). It rides the hub report too (operator freebie) → cross-repo host-report golden updated.Collector.HostMetricsNow(ctx)— a freshNodeStatus+ CPU-temp read returning just the host block, the source for the local API (current cpu%/temp, not the 15-min snapshot).Collect()now also populatescpu_temp_con the hub report.Collector.SetTempReaderinjects a fake in tests.GET /host/metrics(internal/localapi/host_metrics.go): host-wide health (cpu%/mem/load/uptime/cpu_temp_c) + per-storage capacity targets (total/used/fraction, thin-pool, SMART temp+wear). Token-authed viawithGuest(host-wide data; cross-guest?vmid=still 403). Best-effort on storage (a view error still returns the host block). Served only when theHostMetricsprovider (the shared collector) is wired — else 503 "not configured". Wired inbuildLocalAPIServer.
Tests
cputemp_test.go: a fake/syslayout proves hwmon package-preference, hwmon first-input fallback, thermal-zone-by-type selection over a non-CPU hwmon, graceful-null on a sensorless host (no error), and rejection of implausible (0 m°C) readings.hostmetrics_test.go:HostMetricsNowpopulates the temp, gracefully nulls it, hard-errors onNodeStatusfailure;Collect()carries the temp.host_metrics_test.go(localapi): populated host+storage with a valid token;cpu_temp_c:nullserializes; 401 without a token (collector never invoked); 403 on a cross-guest?vmid=; 503 when not configured.
v0.13.0 — slice 8B.2: quiesce downtime optimization (snapshotted phase) (2026-06-10)
The agent half of slice 8B.2. In snapshot mode, vzdump only needs the app-stopped state captured at
the storage-snapshot moment; after that it reads from the snapshot and the app can resume. The
agent now emits a snapshotted phase on GET /backup/status when the snapshot is taken, so the
controller (v0.38.0) resumes its app early — app downtime drops from whole-backup to
until-snapshot with no loss of app-consistency. Validated Phase-0 first on PVE 9.2.2: the marker is
INFO: create storage snapshot 'vzdump'; downtime ~24s→~1s for a 934 MB guest.
Added / changed (internal/backup + internal/localapi)
BackupRunner.BackupWithSnapshotHook(ctx, vmid, onSnapshot)— while the vzdump runs, a watcher tails the task log (TaskLogTail) for thecreate storage snapshotmarker and firesonSnapshotonce. The marker only appears in snapshot mode (stop/downgraded takes no storage snapshot), and the watcher also bails onbackup mode: stop— so it never fires in stop mode. (Backupkeeps its signature for the scheduler/selftest; both share one body.)/backup/statusphasesnapshotted(betweenrunninganddone):handleBackuppasses the hook →markSnapshottedflips the running job tosnapshotted.done/failedsemantics unchanged.
Tests
- localapi: snapshot mode → phase reaches
snapshottedbeforedone(gated fake holds the backup open); stop mode →snapshottednever emitted (stays running → done). runner: the watcher firesonSnapshoton the marker; in stop-mode log it never fires.snapshotWatchIntervalis a package var so tests run fast.
v0.12.0 — slice 8C Phase A: disk endpoints + data-bearing classifier gate + mkfs executor (2026-06-10)
The agent half of slice 8C, Phase A (additive). Adds the host disk-management endpoints the
controller's disk UI drives — with the 8C security invariant: the agent decides
data-bearing-ness by inspecting the actual device (agent-internal evidence), NEVER from the
caller's claim. A compromised controller asserting "this drive is blank" cannot wipe a data-bearing
drive. (Controller rewire + disk-subsystem retirement + de-privilege are Phases B/C, felhom-controller.)
Added
internal/storage—mkfsexecutor + data-bearing inspection.SudoHostOps.Format(device, fstype)(device-pinned,ValidateBlockDevice+ValidateFSType, narrowFELHOM_FORMATsudoers —mkfs.ext4 -F/mkfs.xfs -fon a/dev/*path the agent fine-validates first).SudoHostOps.InspectDevice(device)→DeviceProbe(filesystem signature viablkid -p, partition table / partitions / mount vialsblk -J).DeviceProbe.DataBearing()is conservative: any signature / partition table / partition / mount — OR a probe that did not read cleanly — is data-bearing (fail-safe; an unreadable device is never called blank).internal/localapi— the §6 disk endpoints, all self-scoped (token→guest; cross-guest 403):GET /disks— host drives + a data-bearing flag (UI hint). Read-only/benign.POST /disks/assign— attach a drive as a mount (benign, additive →EnsureMount). Self-serve.POST /disks/eject— safe-unmount (benign, data preserved) + the dependent guests that mount it (so the controller can warn which apps lose that storage).POST /disks/format— the security centerpiece: the agent inspects the device itself; blank → benign →mkfs; data-bearing → ClassStorageWipe → the slice-4 gate → refusedpending_signature(the operator-signed completion is slice 10). The caller's claim is ignored — only a device the agent reads as blank is formatted.
storageGateAdapterbridges the format path to the slice-4 reversibility gate (no new gate/crypto).
Tests
- localapi (security matrix): blank device → mkfs called, gate not consulted; a data-bearing
device → 403, mkfs NEVER called, gate consulted (
pending_signature); an ambiguous/unprobed device → treated destructive (fail-safe); even a gate that allows does not format data-bearing in 8C; assign →EnsureMount; eject →Unmount+ dependent guests; cross-guest → 403; bad device/fstype → 400; unconfigured → 503. - storage:

v0.11.0 — slice 8B: app-consistent backup — /backup/due policy + /backup/status phases (2026-06-10)
The agent half of slice 8B (doc 03 §8). Turns the 8A thin backup stubs into the real policy the
in-guest controller's quiesce loop drives (controller half: felhom-controller v0.36.0). No hub
change. The downtime optimization (vzdump --mode snapshot + a snapshotted phase) is the 8B.2
fast-follow; the hub-served per-guest policy is slice 10.
Changed (internal/localapi)
GET /backup/due— real cadence policy (replaces the 8A "never backed up" stub): a guest is due when no successful backup is recorded OR the newest one is older than the agent-local cadence (backup.backup_cadence_seconds, default 24h). A successfulPOST /backupflips due to false for the window, so the controller won't re-quiesce in a loop. A failed backup does not satisfy the cadence. Returnsage_secondsfor diagnosis.GET /backup/status— real phasesidle | running | done | failed+ the job id, so the controller can poll a backup to completion (was: just the latest stored backup).POST /backup— returns a job id +runningphase; tracks the in-flight job and is single-flight per guest (a second POST while one runs returns the same job — no concurrent vzdump). On completion the job transitions done/failed and the result is recorded to the store.- Config:
backup.backup_cadence_seconds+BackupCadence(); the local-API server takes the cadence.
Tests
/backup/due: due when stale / no backup, not due within the window after a success, due again past the cadence, a failed backup does not count./backup/status: running→done and running→failed (gated fake to observe the running phase).POST /backupsingle-flight (one vzdump for concurrent POSTs). All still self-scoped (token→guest).
v0.10.0 — slice 8A: agent local-API server + provisioning back-half (2026-06-10)
The host-agent half of slice 8A (doc 03 §6). Adds the per-guest local API the in-guest
controller calls over the bridge, and the provisioning back-half that follows the slice-7
bring-up front half. Grounded by felhom.eu/documentation/tests/slice8a-channel-deploy-spike-findings.md
(commit 4a81a96 — channel + deploy plumbing proven; the 5 gotchas resolved here). Controller half
is felhom-controller v0.35.0. No hub change.
Added
internal/localapi— the HTTPS local-API server (doc 03 §6), the per-guest authorization gate. Serves a persisted self-signed leaf with a stable SHA-256 fingerprint (generated once; a fresh cert each boot would invalidate every baked bootstrap pin). The 7 §6 endpoints, all self-scoped to the caller's own guest:GET /storage(this guest's mpN mounts + fast/slow class from the slice-5/7 storage view),POST /snapshot,POST /rollback,POST /backup(enqueued, crash-consistent — the app-consistent quiesce loop is 8B),GET /backup/due(thin in 8A),GET /backup/status,GET /restore-test/status.- Token store (
tokenstore.go): durable, crash-safe per-guest token→guest map that persists only a SHA-256 hash of each token (the plaintext exists transiently at mint→write-to-mount, then is discarded), last-write-wins per guest, fsync'd append-only JSONL (mirrors the nonce store). - Self-scoping: the VMID is resolved ONLY from the token; an explicit
vmid(query/body) that disagrees → 403 and the proxmox op is never issued for the other guest; absent/unknown → 401.
- Token store (
internal/provision— the back-half: mint the per-guest token → render the stablebootstrap.jsoncontract (schemafelhom.bootstrap/v1; no registry credential — the controller image is baked into the golden) → write it0600→chown 100000:100000(the unprivileged-LXC mapped guest-root, spike gotcha 1) → attach a read-only bind mount viapct set. Host-side only (F3 — the agent never enters the guest; nopct exec). The token plaintext is never logged and never returned.--selftest=provision— the full chain on-demand: bring-up (provision) front half + the back half; keeps the guest for the golden's baked controller-bootstrap unit to deploy.config.LocalAPIConfig(local_api) — enable + bridgelisten_addr+ cert/key paths + token store path. The server is an optional 6th daemon goroutine, disabled cleanly when unconfigured or on a token-store/cert failure (the daemon still reports/reconciles).configs/build-golden.shnow bakes the controller image (pulled once on the trusted build host, thendocker logout— no cred baked) + a controller-bootstrap unit that deploys the baked image from the config mount on boot (no login/pull at deploy).configs/felhom-localapi-firewall.example— host firewall narrowing of the local-API port to the guest bridge subnet (nft/iptables/PVE variants; defense-in-depth — the token stays the gate).configs/felhom-agent.sudoers— a narrowFELHOM_PROVISIONalias (chown 100000:100000+pct setbind-mount, both confined to the agent-owned/var/lib/felhom-agent/guests/*path) for the non-root least-privilege deployment.
Security / design notes
- The local-API leaf is pinned by leaf-cert SHA-256 (decision: consistency with the agent's PVE/PBS pinning); the fingerprint is baked into each guest's bootstrap.
- The back-half's host-root ops (chown + bind-mount attach) are NOT added to
proxmox.Privileged(which is fenced to its 3 exceptions) — they live ininternal/provisionand run through the sharedRunner(direct as root, orsudo -nwith the new sudoers alias). This is the per-guest provisioning host-root surface, host-side and F3-compliant.
Tests
- localapi: self-scoping (cross-guest snapshot/rollback/backup → 403, op never issued for the other
guest; own-guest uses the token's VMID), 401 paths,
/storageclass mapping,/backupenqueue, the thin/backup/due, status scoping; the token store persists only the hash (plaintext never on disk), last-write-wins, survives reopen, uniqueness; the leaf fingerprint is stable across reload. - provision: writes
0600+ chowns + attaches the bind mount with the right args; the token never appears in the Result; the cross-repobootstrap.jsoncontract key-set is pinned.
v0.9.0 — slice 7 close-out: PBS recovery-code escrow creation (2026-06-10)
The first code that touches the PBS client encryption key K and introduces the customer recovery
code R. Default posture is zero-knowledge: Felhom holds an opaque R-wrapped blob (cannot
open it), the customer holds R. Grounded by felhom.eu/documentation/tests/slice7-escrow-spike-findings.md
(round-trip proven on a throwaway: the R-recovered key restores a real encrypted snapshot). Hub
opaque storage is the felhom.eu half (hub v0.8.0); consumption/serving is slice 10.
Secret discipline (overriding)
R is crypto/rand, ≥128 bits, surfaced exactly once and never logged/persisted/committed;
the wrap pty's echo is discarded so R can't leak. K is read by location, never modified (the
live key file is byte-unchanged — Wrap operates on a copy), never logged.
Added
internal/escrow—CreategeneratesR(10 EFF-wordlist words ≈ 129 bits), wrapsKunderRvia the PBS-nativeproxmox-backup-client key change-passphrase --kdf scrypt, and self-verifies the blob recoversK(fingerprint match) before shipping. The wrap is driven over a stdlib pty (x/sys/unix; spike F-A1 — the command is TTY-only) with output discarded (F-A2 — the pty echoes the passphrase). Opt-in outputs: (b)R-wrapped offline copy (two-factor, no extra trust) and (a) raw paperkey (single-factor, unrevocable — loud caveat).--selftest=escrow-create(-storage,-paperkey,-offline,-upload): surfacesRonce to stdout (never the logger), prints the opaque blob's size/fingerprint/posture, and with-uploadPUTs the blob to the hub (/api/v1/hosts/{host_id}/escrow, per-host key).- Config:
escrowsection (posturedefaultzero_knowledge,pbs_storage_id);PBSEncKeyPathhelper (the<id>.enckey K). - Runtime dependency on the
proxmox-backup-clientCLI (the PBS key+passphrase KDF).
Tests
Rentropy ≥128 / 10-word format / uniqueness; integration round-trip (wrap→unwrap fingerprint match, wrong-Rfails, liveKbyte-unchanged, blob ≠ plaintext key) guarded to linux+proxmox-backup-client; the agent→hub wire-contract key-set (mirrors the hub's).- Live-validated (demo):
escrow-create→R(10 words) surfaced once, blob 383 B opaque, self-verify ok, liveKsha256 unchanged, exactRabsent from stderr/journal.
v0.8.0 — slice 7 Phase 1: unified bring-up reconcile job (provision + guest-loss DR) (2026-06-09)
The shared FRONT HALF of provision and guest-loss DR, as a journaled reconcile job mirroring the
slice-6 restore-test's crash-safety — but it KEEPS the guest on success and applies a
scenario-specific identity policy. Agent-only; no hub/wire change (the new guest auto-appears in
the host-report via ListLXC). Grounded by the slice-7 bring-up spike findings (commit 3342993):
F1 (restore preserves the archived MAC → provision reset is unconditional), F3 (SSH host keys do
not auto-regenerate → a baked golden first-boot unit, not an agent guest-internal op), F4 (the
transient PVE config-lock 500 → bounded retry).
Added
reconcile.RunBringUp(bringup.go) —BringUpSpec(Modeprovision|dr_guest_loss, Archive, VMID, RestoreStorage, Hostname, Cores/MemoryMB, RootfsGrowGB, Mounts, KeepMAC, BootTimeout) →BringUpResult(VMID, AssignedMAC, Pass, Verified, StartWarnings/Recognized). Sequence (each mutation preceded by journaling the owning entry): restore → identity reset → size → attach mounts → start LINK-UP. Verdict is liveness (waitRunning), never the start exitstatus (reuses the v0.7.0 WARNINGS surface). Success KEEPS the guest (no teardown).- Scenario-specific identity reset (doc 03 §9): provision → fresh MAC unconditionally
(
PUT net0withhwaddromitted → PVE regenerates, F1) + hostname; machine-id + SSH host keys regenerate guest-side on first boot (golden bake + the new unit) — the agent does NOT touch guest internals. dr_guest_loss → preserve continuity (keep hostname; keep MAC unlessKeepMAC=false); never resets restic/tunnel/hub identity. - Compensating rollback — any mid-flight failure destroys the just-created guest
(
ClassGuestDestroy, benign viaProvenance{SameTxnCreated:true}, gated); on teardown failure the entry is left in-flight forRecover. New journal flagRollback+Recover'srecoverBringUpreap a half-built guest left by a mid-job crash (idempotent, viaListLXC). - F4 config-lock retry — steps 3+5 coalesced into ONE
PUT config(net0+hostname+cores+ memory+mpN); rootfs grow stays its own call.setConfigWithLockRetryretries ONLY the transient PVE config-lock 500 (pveConfigLock: 500 + "can't lock file"/"got timeout"); any other error fails immediately — never retried. --selftest=bring-up(-mode provision|dr -archive -vmid -hostname [-keep]) — runs the real journaled job (after aRecover), then tears the guest down unless-keep.configs/build-golden.sh— the validated golden recipe as a script, incl. the F3 first-bootfelhom-regen-hostkeys.serviceunit (Condition-gated: fires on provision, no-ops on DR). The slice-7 spike archive (which lacks the unit) is superseded.
Deferred (stated, not built)
- Provisioning BACK HALF (controller deploy, bootstrap, per-guest token mint) → slice 8.
- Host-loss DR + PBS escrow consumption → slice 10.
- The SOURCE of a
BringUpSpec(hub desired-state: which archive/VMID/mounts) → slice 10; this job takes the spec as input.GuestMountis defined minimally (no hub coupling).
Tests
- provision happy path (fresh MAC = net0 without hwaddr, hostname, coalesced sizing+mount, rootfs
grow separate, started, guest NOT destroyed); compensating rollback at each step (restore /
config / start-task / waitRunning — asserts the guest WAS destroyed); DR continuity (MAC kept,
hostname not reset) + DR
KeepMAC=falseresets MAC; liveness verdict (warnings+running pass / not-running fail); F4 (lock-500→retry→proceed; non-lock-500→fail without retry); owning entry journaled BEFORE restore; reserved/existing VMID refused;Recoverrolls back / clean.
Live-validated (demo-felhom)
- provision: fresh MAC + hostname; SSH host keys regenerated by the baked golden unit (agent
issued no
ssh-keygen), machine-id unique, Docker runs, clean DHCP lease → torn down. - dr: continuity preserved (hostname + host keys kept). Recover: a killed mid-restore left an
orphan; the re-run's
Recoverrolled it back (idempotent). - Live caught a bug, then fixed: the host-key unit's
ExecStartwas/usr/sbin/ssh-keygen(203/EXEC); on Debian 13 it is/usr/bin/ssh-keygen— corrected inbuild-golden.sh, golden rebuilt, re-validated. (Mocked unit tests couldn't surface this; the live run did.)
v0.7.0 — restore-test: verdict is liveness, not start-task exitstatus (2026-06-09)
Fixes a correctness bug found by the live hub-enrollment runbook: the self-restore-test reported
pass:false on every modern-distro guest. PVE's guest-start task exits "WARNINGS: 1" for the
benign systemd-nesting advisory (WARN: Systemd 257 detected. You may need to enable nesting.), and
WaitTask treated any non-"OK" exitstatus as a hard failure — so the verdict was decided by an
advisory exit code instead of by observed liveness, before the real boot check ran. A crying-wolf
test got it disabled on the demo host; this re-enables it. Single bump (0.6.0→0.7.0) covering the
agent's part of both task phases; the wire fields below are consumed by hub from v0.7.5.
Design invariant (in code): warning classification affects visibility only; pass/fail is liveness-only. A wrong/stale recognizer can at worst over-notice a benign warning — it can never false-fail and never hide a real warning.
Added
proxmox.WaitOptions.AllowWarnings— opt-in per call. When set, a task that completes"WARNINGS: N"is success with theTaskStatus(ExitStatus intact) returned so the caller can read/surface it. Default (false) keeps every existing caller strict (vzdump/restore/destroy warnings can be meaningful — relaxing them is a future per-call decision with evidence). Any non-WARNINGS non-OK exit is still a*TaskError.reconcile.RestoreTestResult.StartWarnings/.WarningsRecognized+ a version-free recognizer (benignWarningAnchor = "enable nesting", case-insensitive substring — contains no systemd version number, so it can't rot back into the bug at systemd 258+).extractWarningLinespullsWARN…lines from the start-task log.reconcile.GuestAPI.TaskLogTail— the engine fetches the start task's log to surface warnings.hub.RestoreTest.warnings/.warnings_recognizedwire fields (omitempty), populated byToHubRestoreTest. Additive: the deployed v0.7.4 hub ignores them; hub v0.7.5 consumes them (passed-with-warnings INFO, or WARN when not recognized). Cross-repo golden updated with the hub side.
Changed
- Restore-test start step (
reconcile/restoretest.go) now waits withAllowWarnings:true, surfaces any start warnings, and continues towaitRunningas the verdict — boot+running is the pass, exactly as before; a real (non-WARNINGS) start-task error still fails. The restore and scratch-teardown WaitTasks stay strict. - Restore-test scheduler logging distinguishes a clean pass, passed-with-recognized-warnings (INFO), and passed-with-unrecognized-warnings (WARN) — nothing silent.
Tests
WaitTask: AllowWarnings acceptsWARNINGS(status returned intact); AllowWarnings still fails a real error; default still fails onWARNINGS(existing callers unaffected).- Restore-test (engine, mock proxmox): start-with-warnings + running → pass with warnings surfaced+recognized; unrecognized warning + running → pass, not-recognized; not-running → fail regardless of warnings (verdict is liveness); teardown still runs.
- Regression guard: the
"enable nesting"recognizer matches the advisory for systemd 256–300, proving it's version-independent and can't silently rot back into the false-fail.
v0.6.0 — slice 6 Phase B: PBS offsite tier (verify + PBS-API client + reporting) (2026-06-09)
Completes slice 6. The PBS spike (felhom.eu phase5-pbs-spike-findings.md) proved backup-to-PBS and restore-from-PBS reuse Phase A UNCHANGED (PBS is just a storage target + a volid), and the operator token needs no widening. So the only new agent code is the verify capability + a small PBS-API client + PBSSnapshot reporting. Escrow + host-loss DR stay slices 7/10.
Added
internal/pbs— the PBS-API client (the agent's SECOND privileged external surface, slice-1 discipline): TLS fingerprint-pinned to the PBS leaf cert (a spoofed PBS → rejected, mirroring the PVE pin), token auth (PBSAPIToken=<id>:<secret>; id from the storageusername, secret read at runtime from/etc/pve/priv/storage/<id>.pw— referenced by location, never logged/committed), typed, no shell. Methods:Verify(POST/admin/datastore/<ds>/verify→ UPID),Snapshots(incl. theverificationfield),TaskStatus/WaitVerify(node extracted from the UPID —localhostreturns "unknown", the spike B4 gotcha),NodeFromUPID.- The verify maintenance loop (
pbs/verify.go) — the cheap, key-free, ciphertext-level integrity check (§8) on its OWN cadence (default 6h, the 5th daemon goroutine). It is a reporting/maintenance task like the slice-5 watchdog: it does NOT go through the reconcile gate/journal. Each cycle: trigger verify → poll task → re-list snapshots → record per-snapshotverify_state. A failed verify is logged loudly. PBSSnapshotreporting — filled the stub (namespace/backup_type/backup_id/backup_time(RFC3339)/size_bytes/owner/protected/encrypted(fromfiles[].crypt-mode) /verify_state(ok|failed|none until verified)/verify_upid). NewPBSReportercollector seam + an in-memorySnapshotStore. Cross-repo golden (both repos, byte-identical)- bidirectional key-set tests; hub
handler.goparsespbs_snapshotsand logs a failed verify[WARN](loudest offsite-DR signal).
- bidirectional key-set tests; hub
- Truthful backup mode (
backup/runner.go) —Backup.modenow reflects the ACTUAL vzdump mode read from the task log (backup mode: <x>), since PVE may downgrade snapshot→stop for a stopped guest (spike B1); falls back to the requested mode if unparseable. - proxmox:

Notes
- Backup/restore-to-PBS reuse Phase A with no change (the restore-test runs with
source_tier="pbs"when fed a pbs volid). Zero-knowledge holds: verify is ciphertext-level, the encryption key is never read here, and the PBS server has no client key (spike B6). - Daemon runs cleanly with no pbs storage / verify disabled.
go test -racecovers the new goroutine. Slice-3/4/5/6A surfaces, goldens, and adversarial tests intact.
v0.6.0-rc1 — slice 6 Phase A: backup + the self-restore-test (local target) (2026-06-09)
Phase A of the backup/restore slice (doc 03 §8) — the agent's guest-level backup layer and the self-restore-test, which closes "a backup you haven't restored isn't a backup". Everything here is BENIGN (backup, restore-to-NEW, scratch teardown): reuses the slice-4 classifier/gate/journal — no new destructive class, no new crypto. Local target only; PBS is Phase B. Restore is to a NEW guest only (no overwrite). Backups are crash-consistent only (app-consistency needs the controller quiesce, slice 8) — marked so in the report.
Added
- proxmox (
mutate.go/query.go):DestroyLXC(DELETE …/lxc/{vmid}?purge=1&destroy- unreferenced-disks=1 → UPID; the scratch-teardown primitive);VzdumpOptions.Notes→notes-template(verified on PVE 9.2.2);LatestBackupVolID(resolve a produced archive from the backup-storage listing — the task status carries no result volid). - reconcile self-restore-test (
restoretest.go) —Engine.RunRestoreTest: pick a free scratch VMID (configured band, excludes 9999; full band → skip, never out-of-band) → journal a Scratch-owned entry BEFORE any mutation → restore-to-new → benign net link-down SetConfig (so the clone can't conflict with a running source's MAC/IP; this is test-safety, NOT slice-7 identity reset) → boot → verify reachesrunning→ ALWAYS teardown (defer; benignClassGuestDestroy+ agent-tagged-scratch provenance, gated). Runs on the scratch VMID's queue lane. Reuses the journal/gate; result feeds the report. - Crash-safe recovery (
recover.go): a Scratch journal entry is resolved by TEARDOWN, not by re-checking the restore sub-task's UPID — special-cased BEFORE the generic path (else the restore task's OK would mark it succeeded while the guest leaks).Recovernow destroys a leaked scratch guest (idempotent: already-gone → clean; list-unreadable → left in-flight for a later pass).JournalEntry.Scratchflag;RecoverResult.ScratchClean/ ScratchDestroyed.

report.go): filled theBackup+RestoreTeststubs (PBSSnapshotstays a Phase-B stub); collectorBackupReporter/RestoreTestReporterseams. Cross-repo golden updated in BOTH repos (byte-identical) + bidirectional key-set tests forbackups[0]/restore_tests[0].

Notes
- The daemon runs cleanly with the cadence off or misconfigured (logs + disables, never
crashes); a leaked scratch guest from a mid-test crash is reaped by
engine.Recoveron restart.go test -racecovers the new scheduler goroutine. - Slice-3/4/5 exported surfaces, goldens, and adversarial tests intact. Version bumps to v0.6.0 when Phase B (PBS) lands.
v0.5.1 — slice 5 live-validation prep: durable_id mis-id fix + re-mount UUID memory (2026-06-09)
Two correctness fixes surfaced while preparing the live USB validation on demo-felhom
(a real 1TB USB HDD, sdb1, ext4). Both are DR-load-bearing — exactly the "false-id →
re-attach the wrong disk" failure mode the slice warned about.
Fixed
- Unmounted dir-storage no longer inherits the ROOT filesystem's UUID (
observe.go). Previously, when a removable dir-storage was unmounted, the observer fell through to the containing mount (root) for the backing device, so itsdurable_idbecameuuid:<root-uuid>— a catastrophic DR mis-id (the hub would re-attach the wrong disk). Now the backing device/UUID/durable_idare derived ONLY from the target's OWN mountpoint; an unmounted target reports no device and a stablestore:<name>durable_id, never another filesystem's UUID. (Removed thecontainingMountDeviceroot-fallthrough.) - Watchdog remembers the fs-UUID observed while attached (
watchdog.go) so a re-mount works even after the known-set cache refreshes mid-drop (an unmounted target can't resolve its own UUID). The re-mount key is backfilled from this memory — aligning with doc 03 §7's "sourced from the existing definition, no hub manifest needed": the agent learns the UUID while the target is attached, then re-mounts by it on return.
Tests
- Observer: an unmounted dir-storage asserts NO
uuid:durable_id and no backing device. - Watchdog: a drop where the cache lost the UUID still re-mounts using the remembered UUID.
v0.5.0 — slice 5 Phase B: the host-root surface (mounts + SMART + grow + destructive gate) (2026-06-09)
The write surface — the agent's first step outside its Proxmox API token into OS-root. Isolated behind a narrow, argument-validated, adversarially-tested seam, exactly like the slice-4 gate. Completes slice 5 (Phase A = read-only observe/report/watchdog at v0.5.0-rc1).
Added
HostOpsseam +SudoHostOps(internal/storage/hostops.go) — the one privileged host surface: persistent mounts via systemd.mountunits keyed by fs-UUID (enabled to survive reboot), detach (stop+disable), SMART, and thin-pool metadata. Shells out via the fenced Runner (sudo -n, fixed arg vectors, no shell); a fake backs the tests (no real root in the suite).NoopHostOpsis the safe fallback when the surface is unavailable.- The argument validator (
internal/storage/validate.go) — the security boundary:ValidateUUID(strict hex),ValidateMountPath(absolute, no traversal, no metacharacters),ValidateSMARTDevice(raw-disk whitelist),ValidateLVMName, and an in-processsystemdEscapePath(nosystemd-escapeshell-out). Every argument is validated BEFORE a command is constructed. Headline test (validate_test.go): an adversarial matrix of shell metacharacters /../traversal / malformed inputs is rejected with zero exec. - SMART (
internal/storage/smart.go) — parsessmartctl -a -jintoStorageTarget.smart: SATA (reallocated/pending/offline-uncorrectable, temp, power-on-hours) and NVMe (critical_warning, media_errors, percentage_used, temp), degrading toUNKNOWNfor devices with no SMART (USB-SATA bridges).lvsfills the lvmthin thin-pool metadata fill (the value Phase A left null). Wired into the Observer's enrichment (Observe only, not the watchdog's fast Known path). - Watchdog re-mount response (
internal/storage/watchdog.go) — on a known mount-backed target's device returning unmounted (a newDevicePresentliveness probe), the watchdog dispatches a benign by-UUID re-mount off the poll path (a goroutine, never under the lock), rate-limited per target to the debounce window. The mount is routed through the gate as benign (gateRemounterinmain.go, sostoragestays decoupled fromreconcile). - Disk-grow executor (
internal/reconcile) —ActionResize(benignClassResize), planned grow-only (desired DiskBytes > actual →pct resize rootfs +<n>M; a shrink is refused, never silently grown) + a defensive executor guard (size must start with+). Newproxmox.Client.ResizeLXC(API;VM.Config.Disk+Datastore.AllocateSpace; async→UPID). Built + fixture-tested; unfed live (no hub spec until slice 10). - Destructive storage ops through the slice-4 gate (
internal/reconcile/storage_ops.go) —IntentForStorageMount(benign) andIntentForStorageDestructive(ClassStorageWipe/ClassDecommission). Host/target-scoped: the op binds on the storage target identity (carried intarget.guest_id). Reuses the existing verifier/role-scoping/binding/audit — no new gate, no new crypto. Storage cases added to the adversarial matrix (storage_test.go): unsigned wipe →pending_signature; "wipe A" signature vs "wipe B" →binding_mismatch; valid → accepted. Inert live. --selftest=storage[-watch <dur>] — the live USB-runbook harness: an observe pass (full table incl. SMART + thin-pool data+metadata), and a bounded watchdog window with the re-mount response live. Runs standalone on the Proxmox host (no hub).configs/felhom-agent.sudoers— the documented narrow allowlist (install unit / systemctl manage / smartctl / lvs), with the agent-side fine validation noted.- Config:
privileged.{unit_dir,stage_dir,systemctl,install,smartctl,lvs}(paths must match the sudoers entries).
Notes
- Daemon still runs cleanly with no removable storage / no signers / no hub manifest, and a
missing/declined sudoers entry degrades with a warning (SMART→UNKNOWN, mount→logged error),
not a crash.
go test -racepasses (the watchdog re-mount dispatches off the poll path). - Slice-3/4 + Phase-A exported surfaces, goldens, and adversarial tests intact.
authzuntouched. The destructive-storage executor + grow are built/tested but unfed live until slice 10.
v0.5.0-rc1 — slice 5 Phase A: storage observe + report + watchdog (read-only, live) (2026-06-09)
Phase A of the storage slice (doc 03 §7). Read-only and live: the agent now observes every
host storage target, reports it into the host-report's storage_targets (previously an empty
stub), and runs a fast-poll watchdog that pushes a disconnect to the hub in seconds. No
host-root writes this phase (mounts/SMART/grow/destructive-gate are Phase B). The hub-owned
desired manifest (class/role/policy/creds) is not served until slice 10, so reconcile against
it is built-but-unfed — this phase ships only the genuinely-useful read-only footprint.
Added
internal/storagepackage (new):StorageTargetwire contract (internal/hub/report.go) — filled the slice-3 stub:name/type/durable_id/state/reachable, usage (total/used/avail/used_fraction),content,mount_path/backing_device,class_hint(rotational HINT — never authoritative; class is hub-owned),role(empty until slice 10), athin_poolsub-object (lvmthin data fill; metadata fill is Phase B/lvs), and asmartsub-object (UNKNOWNuntil Phase B). Cross-repo golden kept byte-identical withfelhom.eu/huband guarded by the bidirectional key-set test (contract_test.go).durable_idderivation (durableid.go) — deterministic per type (the DR-load-bearing re-attach key): fs-UUID (usb/local-dir),server:export(nfs/cifs),repo+fingerprint(pbs),vg/pool(lvmthin); never empty (falls back to a stable store id).HostReaderseam +ProcHostReader(hostread.go) — non-privileged/proc/mounts,/dev/disk/by-uuid,/sys/.../rotational+removablereads. Root-free by construction.Observer(observe.go) — builds[]hub.StorageTargetfromListStorage/NodeStoragejoined with host reads; surfaces the lvmthin thin-pool data fill prominently (warns ≥85%).- Storage watchdog (
watchdog.go) — a third daemon goroutine fast-polling the known target set (a defined Proxmox storage and/or a previously-seen one) forattached↔disconnectedtransitions; on a transition it triggers an immediate, debounced out-of-band host-report. Only flags a known target's change (never a never-attached device); coalesces flaps within the debounce window (leading + trailing edge).CachingKnownTargetsrate-limits the Proxmox-derived known set;HostLivenessprobes device/mount presence (local) + a reachability dial (network), all non-privileged.
- Proxmox
Storagetype (internal/proxmox/types.go) — additive parse-only config fields (server/export/share/datastore/fingerprint/vgname/thinpool) feeding durable_id. - Collector
StorageObserverseam (internal/hub/collect.go) — populatesstorage_targetsvia the observer; a nil observer or an observe error degrades to empty (never sinks the heartbeat). Hub does not import storage (storage imports hub for the wire type). - Out-of-band report trigger (
internal/hub/loop.go) —Loop.SetTrigger: a watchdog signal runs one extra collect→report immediately without disturbing the regular cadence. StorageConfig(internal/config) — watchdog interval / debounce / known-refresh knobs (all optional; package defaults otherwise).- Hub ingest (
felhom.eu/hub) —hostReportPayloadnow parsesstorage_targets(full mirror struct), persists them viareport_json, counts + warns on disconnected targets, and has its own half of the bidirectional golden key-set test.
Notes
- The daemon still runs cleanly with no removable storage, no signers, and no hub manifest — the watchdog finds nothing to flag; storage reporting is best-effort.
proxmox/hub/authz/reconcileexported surfaces + their golden/adversarial tests are intact. No host-root writes, no destructive paths, no SMART this phase (all Phase B).- Version: v0.5.0-rc1 at the Phase-A checkpoint; v0.5.0 when Phase B lands.
v0.4.0 — slice 4 Phase B: reversibility gate + signed-op consuming layer (2026-06-08)
The security core of slice 4: hub-supplied intent stops being trusted for destructive
change. Layered in front of the per-guest queue's executor — every mutation now
passes the gate. Reuses internal/authz for all crypto (untouched surface). Inert
this slice: no destructive deltas are served until slice 10, so the destructive path is
classified, gated, and adversarially tested but not wired to live execution.
Added
- Classifier (
classify.go, doc 03 §4) — benign vs destructive by provenance + data-bearing-ness, NOT by verb. TheOpClassvocabulary (seeded by the committed slice-2op_blob.json:guest_destroy) is the agent-side contract slice 10 matches. Destroy/overwrite of customer data is destructive UNLESS agent-internal provenance (same-journaled-transaction create → compensating rollback, or agent-tagged scratch) makes it benign.Provenanceis journal-recorded and never populated from the hub (its zero value is the only thing an external intent may carry). Unknown op class fails safe → destructive. - Reversibility gate (
gate.go) —Gate.Authorize(intent, signed): benign → allowed unsigned; destructive → requires a verified, role-authorized, action-bound operator signature, else refusedpending_signature, never executed. Every decision is written to anAuditSink(audit is a signal, never the guard). - Signed-op consuming layer over
authz— verifies viaauthz.Verifier.Verify(the locked pipeline, untouched), then enforces on theVerifiedOp:- Role-scoping (doc 04 §4) — recovery key authorizes key-rotation re-pins ONLY; operational key authorizes ordinary destructive ops + planned rotation.
- Op-to-action binding — verified
op+ host + guest +paramsmust match the gated action (a signature for guest X / op A can't authorize guest Y / op B); params compared semantically (key-order/whitespace independent).
- Signed-job orchestration (
job.go) —RunSignedJob: idempotency dedupe (the op nonce as the journal key — a redelivered completed op is skipped, not re-run), gate authorization, then journal-wrapped execution via an injectedDestructiveExecutor(nil this slice — authorized destructive ops are inert, no executor wired until 6/7). - Crash-recovery consumer (
recover.go, Note 1 / doc 03 §10) —Engine.Recoverconsumes the journal'sInFlight()at startup: an op that crashed AFTER the Proxmox POST and BEFORE its terminal record (OpTaskRunning, nonce already consumed) is NOT covered by idempotency dedupe — only this resume-or-rollback resolves it (re-read the task via the newTaskStatusOnce, record the real outcome; a no-task-id op is abandoned fail-safe). Landed together with the signed-op executor, as Note 1 required. - Daemon wiring —
runDaemonbuilds the verifier fromconfig.Authz.Signers(a bad key / missing nonce-store path is a fatal misconfig; no signers = nil verifier, the common slice-4 state), constructs the gate (+SlogAudit), runsRecoverbefore issuing any mutation, and routes every reconcile action through the gate.
Changed
- Memory comparison canonicalized (Note 2) —
desiredMemoryMiBmakes the desired↔actual memory compare in the same MiB unit that is then written, so a non-MiB-alignedMemoryBytesconverges in one pass instead of re-issuing SetConfig forever (the numeric cousin of the description-newline normalization). Test proves convergence. Slice 10 should still serve MiB-aligned specs at the source.
Tests (the security proof — each independently rejected)
- Adversarial matrix via the REAL
authz.Verifierwith in-test-minted SSHSIGs (framing replicated in reconcile's test binary; production authz untouched, no signing added to the verify-only package): unsigned destructive job → pending_signature; unsigned destructive desired-state delta → pending_signature (distrusts hub desired state, not just jobs); forged/unknown signer →ErrUnknownSigner; expired →ErrExpired; replayed nonce across an agent restart (durableFileNonceStore) →ErrReplay; wrong host →ErrTarget; wrong guest / wrong op / wrong params → binding_mismatch; recovery key on ordinary destructive → role_denied; hub-supplied "scratch" tag ignored → still destructive → refused; valid + role + target + fresh nonce → accepted, and a second presentation →ErrReplay(nonce consumed). - Classifier (benign/destructive/provenance/key-rotation/fail-safe), role-scoping, params binding, crash-recovery (resume OK / fail / still-running / no-task rollback / unreadable / one-shot key applied on resume), signed-job idempotency (execute once, dedupe redelivery, refused-not-executed, no-executor-inert, executor-error).
- Full module race-clean (
go test -race) + vet clean on the Linux build server.
v0.4.0-rc1 — slice 4 Phase A: reconcile engine (structural; runs live, unfed) (2026-06-08)
The agent-side control core's structural half. Checkpoint marker — -rc1 is the
Phase-A push; awaiting validation before Phase B (the reversibility gate + signed-op
consuming layer) lands the final v0.4.0. Runs LIVE but UNFED: with no desired-state
provider until slice 10, the live engine computes an empty action set and performs
zero mutations.
Added
internal/reconcilepackage — the engine, the per-guest serializer, the desired-state model, the normalization layer, and the durable op journal:- Per-guest serializer (
Queue, doc 03 §10) — the single choke point ALL mutation sources funnel through. Same-vmid jobs run strictly one-at-a-time in submit order; independent vmids run in parallel. Each vmid is a cond-var FIFO lane (unbounded, non-blocking, order-preserving); graceful drain onClose. - Desired-state model +
DesiredProviderseam —DesiredGuest(per-field optional: run-state /*hub.GuestSpec/*description),DesiredState. The only live provider isEmptyProvider(slice 4 has no source);StaticProviderfeeds fixtures. The seam is where slice 10's hub-serving plugs in — no hub/local source invented here. - Normalization layer (
FieldNormalizers) — reconcile compares normalized desired-vs-actual so Proxmox round-trip quirks don't read as drift.description's trailing newline is the first registered case; the registry takes more (boolean coercion, list ordering) as discovered.normDescpromoted out ofcmd/felhom-agent/main.gotoreconcile.NormDescription; the--selftest=taskdescription round-trip now uses that shared helper (one source of truth for the quirk). - Plan engine (
Plan, pure function) — computes the minimal benign action set (Start/Stop/SetConfig) for guests present in both desired and actual, with normalized comparison, deterministic vmid ordering, config-before-run-state. Skips provision (desired-absent-in-actual, slice 7) and destroy (actual-absent-in-desired, gated, slice 10); never writes a config it couldn't first read (SpecKnown). Disk (rootfs grow) intentionally not reconciled here. - Reconcile engine (
Engine) — reads desired+actual, plans, dispatches each action onto the shared queue. Every Proxmox op handled per the mutate.go contract: non-empty UPID →WaitTask+ assertexitstatus; empty UPID → clean synchronous success (slice-4 proven). Per-action failures are counted, not fatal (other guests still converge). - Operation journal (
Journal) — durable fsync'd append-only JSONL mirroringauthz.FileNonceStore: records each op's lifecycle (started → task_running → succeeded/failed) with its Proxmox task id (crash mid-op is detected and re-checkable on restart viaInFlight()), plus an idempotency-key store (AlreadyApplied) so a one-shot op never re-runs across retries/restarts. Reconcile actions carry no idempotency key (convergent — must re-run on real drift).
- Per-guest serializer (
- Daemon wiring (
runDaemon) — reconcile runs alongside the hub loop on the poll cadence, sharing the per-guest queue. Journal path is ajournal.logsibling of the nonce store. The daemon runs cleanly with no desired state and no signers (reconcile is a logged live no-op; a journal-open failure degrades to journal-less, never crashes).
Tests
- Serializer: same-guest serialized (max-concurrency 1, submit order preserved) and different-guests parallel (cross-waiting jobs both complete — would deadlock if not); error propagation; drain-pending-on-close; submit-after-close.
- Normalization: description round-trip; unknown-field identity; extensibility seam (synthetic boolean-coercion + list-ordering normalizers).
- Plan: run-state start/stop, spec drift (cores/memory), disk-not-reconciled, description-newline-not-drift, unmanaged fields, spec-unknown skips config keeps run-state, desired-absent skipped, combined ordering, empty-desired no-op, deterministic vmid order.
- Engine: empty-provider zero mutations; async start (WaitTask); synchronous SetConfig (no WaitTask); WaitTask failure + POST error counted failed; list error = pass failure.
- Journal: lifecycle latest-wins; in-flight survives restart; idempotency dedupe across restart; failed key not applied; torn-trailing-line skipped.
- Full module race-clean (
go test -race) on the Linux build server; vet clean.
Not in this phase (Phase B)
- The benign/destructive classifier, the reversibility gate, and the signed-op consuming
layer over
internal/authz(doc 03 §4 / doc 04) — added next, in front of the queue's executor, landing v0.4.0.
v0.3.2 — SetConfig selftest extension (slice-4 pre-check) (2026-06-08)
The gate before slice 4: prove SetConfig works live under the scoped token before
reconcile is built on it. Self-gated live run PASSED on demo-felhom/guest 9999.
Added
- Reversible
SetConfigstep appended to--selftest=task(cmd/felhom-agent/main.go,selftestSetConfig): readGuestConfig→ write adescriptionmarker (felhom-selftest <RFC3339>) → verify it landed → restore the original value (ordeletethe key if it was absent) → verify the restore. Handles PVE's dual-modeSetConfigreturn per themutate.gocontract: empty UPID = synchronous success (printedsynchronous); non-empty UPID =WaitTask+ assertexitstatus=OK. The existing snapshot → rollback → delete-snapshot steps are unchanged. First live exercise of theVM.Config.*privilege cluster. normDesc/extraStringhelpers —extraStringdecodes a string-valued key fromGuestConfig.Extra(raw JSON);normDescstrips the trailing newline PVE appends todescriptionon read, so a written value round-trips equal.
Finding (live)
- The LXC
descriptionwrite returned synchronous (empty UPID) — PVE applied it inline, no task. The agent's dual-modeSetConfigmodeling is correct: the empty-string path is real and must not be treated as an error. - PVE appends a trailing
\ntodescriptionon read (stored URL-encoded as%0A). A naive exact-match reconcile would see perpetual drift — slice-4 reconcile must normalizedescriptioncomparisons (hencenormDesc).
Ops
- Standing operator token (
felhom-agent@pve!agent, privsep) rotated during this run (the prior secret was not retrievable); role + both user/token ACL rows re-confirmed at/. New secret stored out-of-band, not persisted to the repo. Guest 9999 left pristine (stopped, nodescription, no leftover snapshot). Version → 0.3.2.
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.mdis the cumulative log (newest on top);REPORT.mdis 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.mdrewritten for the live--selftest=taskvalidation on the demo host (demo-felhom): snapshot → rollback → delete-snapshot on guest 9999, each polled toexitstatus=OKunder thefelhom-agent@pve!agentprivsep token (UPIDs name the token actor — privsep path genuinely exercised); 16-privilegeFelhomAgentrole + both user & token ACLs confirmed;--selftest=readclean. Closes the slice-1 "mutating ops unit-tested only" gap;WaitTaskasync foundation validated live → slice 4 unblocked. (Token secret stored out-of-band, not in the repo.)
v0.3.1 — slice-3 validation follow-ups (2026-06-08)
Changed
- Collector keeps the known run-status on a
GuestConfigfailure (internal/hub/collect.go): previously a per-guest config-read error forcedstatus="unknown"; now the run-status fromListLXCis preserved (only thespecis dropped). An empty status is still normalized tounknown(wire value is alwaysrunning|stopped|unknown). Test renamed toTestCollect_GuestConfigFailureKeepsStatusOmitsSpecand asserts the preservedrunning+ nil spec. --selftestusage error string now reads(want read|task|hub).
Added
- Cross-repo contract fixture
internal/hub/testdata/host-report.golden.json+TestHostReport_ContractMatchesGolden— compares the marshaledHostReportfield-name sets (top level +host+guests[0]) against the golden, failing on any json-tag drift. The file is kept byte-identical with felhom-hub's copy (duplicated contract until a shared types module; revisit when slices 5/6 populate the empty collections). Version → 0.3.1.
v0.3.0 — hub client + host-report + first daemon loop (slice 3) (2026-06-08)
The agent's first daemon: a periodic read-only host-report POSTed to the hub (the heartbeat). No Proxmox mutations, no desired-state/signed-op consumption, no storage/backup collection yet — those are slices 4/5/6.
Added
internal/hubpackage:HostReportwire contract (report.go) shared field-for-field with the hub ingest: host metrics, guests (vmid+ spec),cloudflaredstatus, and thestorage_targets/backups/restore_tests/pbs_snapshots/audit_tailcollections defined but emitted empty (typed[], slices 5/6 fill them).Collector(collect.go) builds the report from a read-onlyproxmoxReader(adapted to the realinternal/proxmoxsurface — node held by the client, value returns,proxmox.Guest) + aCloudflaredProber. Partial-failure policy: a failedNodeStatusis a hard error (skip the POST); a failed per-guestGuestConfigdegrades that guest tostatus="unknown"(spec omitted) but still sends; a cloudflared probe failure →"unknown", never fatal.CloudflaredProber+SystemctlProber(systemctl is-active cloudflared; read-only — NOT a Privileged/root op; tunnel management is a later slice).Client(client.go):POST /api/v1/host-reportwithAuthorization: Bearer <key>, standard TLS (system roots or optionalca_file; verification always on). Typed*TransportError/*HTTPError; the bearer token never appears in any error.Loop(loop.go): the daemon — immediate first report then tick; adopts the hub'spoll_interval_secondsclamped to [60,3600]; resilient (a collect/report error is logged and the loop continues); clean shutdown on context cancel.ControlEnvelope: onlypoll_interval_secondsis acted on;blocked/desired_generation/has_signed_opsare parsed-but-ignored (logged at most) pending reconcile (slice 4).
- Config:
HubConfig(url/host_id/api_key/poll_seconds/timeout_seconds/ca_file),FELHOM_AGENT_HUB_*env overlay,HubConfig.Validate()(mode-aware — proxmox-only--selftest=read|taskstill runs without hub config),WithDefaults(), andRedacted()now also blanks the hub key.configs/agent.example.jsongainshub(andauthz) blocks. cmd/felhom-agent: the no---selftestmode is now the daemon (poll loop); added--selftest=hub(one collect+report, prints the report + envelope). Version 0.2.0 → 0.3.0.
Tests
- Report serialization (field names; empty collections are
[]notnull; spec omitted when unknown); client (Bearer header, non-2xx→*HTTPError, transport→*TransportError, token never in error); collector (host mapping, guest spec, per-guest failure degrades-but-still-reports, NodeStatus hard error, cloudflared error→unknown); loop (immediate first report, continuation after an injected error, interval adoption + clamp); config (hub validate/redact/env).
Notes
internal/proxmoxandinternal/authzwere not touched — no new proxmox surface was needed (ListLXCalready exposes status/maxmem/maxdisk;GuestConfigexposes cores). The task'sproxmoxReadersketch (node-arg/pointer/LXC) was adapted to the real exports as instructed.- Defined-but-empty this slice:
storage_targets,backups,restore_tests,pbs_snapshots,audit_tail(slices 5/6). Parsed-but-ignored: the envelope'sblocked/desired_generation/has_signed_ops(slice 4).
v0.2.0 — authz signed-op verifier (slice 2) (2026-06-08)
Production form of the Phase-4 signing primitive: a key-type-agnostic SSHSIG verifier for operator-signed destructive ops, with the full anti-replay/ authorization pipeline and a durable, crash-safe nonce store. What slice 4 (reconcile) will call to gate destructive desired-state deltas. No hub, no signing CLI, no reconcile loop.
Added
internal/authz—Verifier:New(signers, store, hostID)+Verify(blob, sigArmored) (*VerifiedOp, error). Runs the LOCKED pipeline (order is load-bearing): parse armor → namespace → parse pubkey → allow-list (by key material,pub.Marshal()equality, not key_id) → crypto verify (over the raw received bytes, never re-canonicalized) → parse blob → target → time window → nonce recorded LAST. Each post-crypto stage rejects even with a valid signature.- SSHSIG framing (
sshsig.go) viagolang.org/x/crypto/ssh—pem.Decode→ strip 6-byte magic →ssh.Unmarshal→ssh.ParsePublicKey→ recompute signed data with the named hash →pub.Verify(dispatches on key algorithm). No hand-rolled crypto. Key-type-agnostic: ed25519 / sk-ssh-ed25519 (FIDO2) / rsa / ecdsa via the one path. - Fixed namespace
felhom-op-v1(package constant, never caller-supplied). OpBlob(correctedhost_id/guest_idjson tags) +VerifiedOp(op, host/guest, params, key_id, matched signer). key_id is advisory/audit only — never an authz input.- Typed errors:
ErrMalformed, ErrNamespace, ErrUnknownSigner, ErrBadSignature, ErrTarget, ErrExpired, ErrNotYetValid, ErrReplay(errors.Is-friendly). NonceStore+ two impls:MemoryNonceStore(tests) andFileNonceStore— durable, crash-safe (fsync'd append log, replayed into an index on open, periodic compaction, expiry-only pruning). A nonce is fsync'd to disk beforeSeenOrRecordreturns false; replay protection survives restart; I/O failure fails safe (reports seen=true). Target generalization: host_id matched strictly, guest_id surfaced for the caller to route.- Config:
AuthzConfig(nonce-store path + pinned operatorsignerstaggedoperational/recoverywith a key_id, as authorized_keys lines). - Version 0.2.0.
Tests
- Real OpenSSH interop via a committed
ssh-keygen -Y signvector (hermetic CI); per-stage rejection (each with an otherwise-valid sig); the headline invalid-sig-does-not-burn-the-nonce invariant; replay; persistence across restart; synthetic sk-ssh-ed25519 through the unchanged path; byte-exactness (a re-serialized blob fails crypto — not re-canonicalized).
Notes / corrections to the Phase-4 reference
- §7's
Targetlacked json tags (host_id/guest_id) — fixed. - The doc paired "Go 1.24.4 / x/crypto v0.52.0", but v0.52.0 declares
go 1.25.0and does not build on Go 1.24. Resolved by upgrading the build server to go1.26.0 (backward-compatible; felhom-controller/hub unaffected); the module isgo 1.25.0on x/crypto v0.52.0. - Free function → constructed
Verifier; returns the fullVerifiedOp; typed errors; clock-skew tolerance added; durable nonce store is the net-new work. - Shared-contract dependency flagged (not built): the hub and the
felhom-signCLI must emit byte-identical canonical JSON or signatures won't verify; a shared canonicalizer both import would be the right home.
v0.1.0 — Scaffold + proxmox interaction layer (slice 1) (2026-06-08)
First slice: stand up the host-agent project and its foundation — the typed Proxmox interaction layer every other module will call. No reconcile loop, hub client, signing, or storage/backup orchestration yet (later slices).
Added
- Project scaffold: module
gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-agent, binaryfelhom-agent(cmd/felhom-agent/), Go 1.24, zero external dependencies (pure stdlib).--versionflag;versionvar overridable via-ldflags "-X main.version=<v>". internal/proxmox— API backend (Client): hand-rolled REST client overhttps://<host>:8006/api2/jsonwithPVEAPITokenauth. Typed read ops (Version,Nodes,NodeStatus,ListLXC,GuestStatus,GuestConfig,ListStorage,NodeStorage,StorageContent) and async mutating ops returning a UPID (RestoreLXC— the primary create path,Vzdump,Snapshot,Rollback,DeleteSnapshot,SetConfig,Start,Stop).WaitTask: pollsGET /nodes/{node}/tasks/{upid}/statusuntil stopped, then assertsexitstatus == "OK"(authorization can surface at task execution, not the POST — phase1-2 §1.3). Exponential backoff (1s→5s cap), context cancellation + timeout.*APIErrorparses the offending privilege from a 403;*TaskErrorparses it from a failed task exitstatus + log tail.internal/proxmox— fenced root-CLI backend (Privileged): limited to the three proven OS-root exceptions only —CreateGoldenLXC(keyctlpct create),MountUSBByUUID,SMART,Sensors; each cites why it can't be the API. Fence is structural (Client never shells out, Privileged never makes an HTTP call) and asserted in tests.- TLS trust: SHA-256 leaf-cert pinning (the host serves a self-signed cert) or
a CA file; an explicitly-named
insecure_skip_verifythat is off by default. No blanket verification disable. internal/config: JSON config file +FELHOM_AGENT_*env overrides; the token secret is never logged (Redacted()).internal/log: slog setup (text, stderr, configurable level).cmd/felhom-agent --selftest: read-only health report against a live host (version/nodes/status/guests/storage);--selftest=task --vmid NexercisesWaitTaskon a reversible snapshot→rollback→delete op (gated; default selftest mutates nothing).- Tests: unit tests with a mock HTTP transport + mock runner (UPID parse,
WaitTaskrunning→OK / failed-403 / timeout / ctx-cancel, 403→privilege error, response decoding against shapes captured live fromdemo-felhom, config redaction, and the API-vs-root routing fence).
Notes
- Types are grounded in the spike findings
(
felhom.eu/documentation/proxmox-platform.md,tests/phase{0,1-2,3}-findings.md) and the exact JSON shapes captured live fromdemo-felhom(PVE 9.2.2). - Verified:
go build/vet/testgreen on Go 1.24.4 (build server) and a live read-only--selftestagainst the demo host with TLS fingerprint pinning. - The 16-privilege
FelhomAgentrole + privsep token (role on both user and token) is provisioned out-of-band; the agent only consumes the token.
