+## 4c. Phase C — golden **0.153.0** baked and published (2026-07-20)
+
+Probes first, all before any mutation:
+
+| Probe | Result |
+|---|---|
+| **P1** — read `180:/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/drill/bake-0.146.0.log` end to end | recipe extracted: `pct`-based LXC 9100 on felhom-pve, args `9100 <template> local-lvm local vmbr0 <controller-image>`, creds via `REGISTRY_USER`/`REGISTRY_TOKEN`, publish to the gitea generic package registry |
+| **P2** — build environment matches the log's starting point | 9100 absent (clean slate ✓); local-lvm 277 G / local 80 G free ✓; **DEVIATION: the Debian 13 template cache was EMPTY** (the 0.146.0 bake had it cached) |
+| **P3** — registry reachable from the vacation site (**load-bearing**) | **PASS.** `gitea.dooplex.hu` → `37.191.56.193` (public path); registry `/v2/` → 401 (alive, auth-gated); gitea API → 200; Docker Hub `/v2/` → 401. Independently corroborated: guest 9201 pulled `felhom-controller:0.153.0` from that registry the same afternoon |
+
+**P2 deviation, handled explicitly:** `pveam download local debian-13-standard_13.6-1_amd64.tar.zst`
+(129 954 319 B, checksum verified, 22 MB/s). This is the ONE departure from the 0.146.0 recipe and
+it is environmental, not a build-golden defect. Operator approved before it ran.
+
+Bake: `build-golden.sh` **v2.1.0** (confirmed on the host copy), run **detached under `setsid`+`nohup`**
+so an SSH blip over the tailnet could not orphan a half-built guest. Controller image
+`gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.153.0`.
+
+### Gate table — vs the 0.146.0 row
+
+| Gate | 0.146.0 | **0.153.0** |
+|---|---|---|
+| Script version | v2.0.0 | **v2.1.0** |
+| Docker in build guest | overlay2, separate `/var/lib/docker` + `/mnt/sys_drive` mounts | same ✓ |
+| Controller image baked | 0.146.0 | **0.153.0** ✓ |
+| **Infra images baked** | **3** (historical fallback list) | **4** — `traefik:v3.6.7`, `cloudflare/cloudflared:2026.6.0`, `gtstef/filebrowser:1.3.3-stable`, **`gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-samba:1.1.0`** ✓ |
+| Source of the infra list | hard-coded fallback | **`--print-infra-images` from the 0.153.0 binary itself** — no WARN line in the log, so the fallback never fired |
+| `docker image ls` inside the guest ⊇ that list | — | **verified** — all four present, plus the baked controller |
+| Archive | 584 MB | **618 MB**, volid `local:backup/vzdump-lxc-9100-2026_07_20-17_50_57.tar.zst` |

+**GL-1 teardown:** the token was written to a `0600` env file via STDIN (never in argv on either
+host), sourced by the detached run, and **shredded**. Token-leak grep over the bake transcript
+(host copy and the retained copy) = **0**; the build guest holds no registry credential; build guest
+9100 left **stopped** (destroy with `pct destroy 9100 --purge`); the 618 MB local verification copy
+was deleted. Log retained beside its predecessor: `180:/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/drill/bake-0.153.0.log`.
+
+**Honest scope note:** I verified the golden artifact is published, byte-correct and fetchable *by
+the hub*. I did **not** render the hub's golden **dropdown** — that is the password-gated operator
+UI, and it remains part of STOP-2.

 ## 5. NOT yet live-validated — remaining human/supervised work
 
 - ~~**STOP-1**~~ — **DONE 2026-07-20, PASSED.** See §4b for the log ordering, timestamps and the
   before/after comparison against round 2. Residual: the immich **timeline screenshot** still cannot
   be captured from here (no browser on DooPlex) — that one visual remains the operator's.
-- **Phase C (golden 0.153.0):** probes P1–P3 first. **P3 is load-bearing** — the drill environment is
-  at the vacation site and must be proven able to pull
-  `gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.153.0` BEFORE any bake. If unreachable: stop and
-  report; change no routing/DNS/nft.
+- ~~**Phase C**~~ — **DONE 2026-07-20.** Golden 0.153.0 baked, published, all gates green
