REPORT — v0.171.0 released and vouched: a controller that runs but does not answer is restarted (R-1344, 2026-10-30, attended)

Plain words first. The night's health log showed that a busy night (backups, dumps, updates) never makes the controller miss even one health check — the slowest answer was 0.3 s against a 5 s limit. So the agent no longer only alarms about a controller that runs but does not answer: 2 minutes after the alarm it restarts it, unless the controller is busy with a backup, a restore or an update, or the restart brake holds.

Commits

Commit	CI (job id)	What
bd18347	2532 green	controllerUnresponsiveRestart = 10 sweeps; restartUnresponsive (busy file, then the brake); the brake and the restart record shared with the not-running restart (supervisorBrakeAllows, recordSupervisorRestart); stanza unresponsive_restart_after_s, unresponsive_restart_at. Tests red first (build failure, then 3 behaviour failures); 7 mutants, one survivor (the count reset after a restart) pinned by a new assertion.

Live proof (Tester 1, controller 0.349.0)

docker kill --signal=SIGSTOP felhom-controller 09:24:50 UTC → Docker „unhealthy" 09:26:36 → the agent's alarm 09:29:21 (6 sweeps) → „the controller does not answer — restarting the bootstrap unit" 09:31:22 (10 sweeps) → healthy 09:31:24. The hub mailed controller_unresponsive_restart and controller_unresponsive (09:42:56, with the next report) and not controller_restarted_by_agent.
