179 Hungarian sentences were built deep inside a package with fmt.Errorf and printed by
whoever caught them: too late to translate where they are shown, too early where they are
made. Every one now carries its key across that gap. ZERO Hungarian error literals remain.
util.MsgError does three things at once, each earned:
- Error() is the Hungarian, byte for byte, so every un-converted printer is unchanged;
- errors.Is answers for the kind AND for a wrapped cause (KindErrorf dropped the cause);
- an error ARGUMENT renders recursively, so "formázás sikertelen: %w" translates whole.
A foreign error — restic, docker, ssh, the stdlib — prints verbatim. It is not ours.
76 display sites go through errText, and TestNoErrErrorInPageOutput convicts any that do
not. memoryVerdict returns an error rather than a sentence, so the deploy's 409 and the
household's language come from one value; UpdateRefusal gained a Cause to carry it.
Plurals, one rule, stated once: a key with .one/.other takes its COUNT first. Not a
per-call-site flag — the producer somebody forgot would read "3 app is not running". The
guard caught a real key collision (alert.deadapp.one) the day the rule landed.
TWO DEFECTS FOUND IN MY OWN TOOLING, recorded rather than quietly fixed. The bulk converter
silently dropped multi-line concatenations, damaging 7 producers — and the parity gate could
not see it, because every surviving fragment WAS a real base literal while the CALL had lost
text; two behaviour tests caught it. And the counting script was case-sensitive, so it said
"0 left" while five remained.
MinAgent: 0.131.0 (unchanged). No hub release needed.

UnitRestoreDate also compared the package's date against the run's and flagged 'older'. A recovery
unit is ALWAYS captured shortly before the run that mirrors it, so that comparison is true for every
healthy app. Measured on demo-hp: bookstack, kimai, opengist and privatebin all had src and dest
manifests at 12:03:49Z against a run at 12:14:24Z - perfectly healthy, and all four would have been
told their package was stale.
A warning that fires on everything is a warning nobody reads, which costs the same as the comforting
lie it was meant to replace. The second return is now UnitLegPreserved and nothing else.
TestR403_AHealthyAppIsNeverCalledStale pins it; red-proof: reinstate the comparison -> it fails.
MEASURED FIRST, then fixed. On the shipped v0.229.0, on demo-hp, an app's Tier-2 copy went from
120 082 104 B (4 database dumps + 3 named-volume tars) to 7 036 B (none of either) in ONE nightly
run, and the run recorded itself a success: 'Tier 2 copied docmost -> ... (14.9 KB, 0 leg(s), 0s)'.
Evidence: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/DRILL-r403-tier2-delete-2026-08-31/.
The mechanism was three individually-correct lines: RunTier2 guards the unit leg with os.Stat only
(does the folder exist), rsyncMirror is rsync -a --delete, and nothing between them compared source
to destination. An EMPTY unit is a folder that exists.
THE GUARD. One predicate, unitCarriesData/unitIsHollow (r403_hollow.go), asking the MANIFEST and
never the byte size - a big compose tree with no dumps is dangerous, a tiny unit for a tiny app is
fine. Fail closed on an absent or unparseable manifest. RunTier2 skips the unit leg when the source
is hollow AND the destination is not; the other legs still run, the run is not failed, and the skip
is recorded for the SURFACE (CrossDriveBackup.UnitLegSkipped + UnitPackageDate) as well as logged.
--delete STAYS and shrinking stays legal. 07 section 8 row 5's derived-copy rule is unchanged; the
fence is exactly one shape. TestR403_DataLegShrinkIsUnaffected is the guard on the guard.
THE HONESTY. A preserved package is older than the run that preserved it, so the card carries a
notice and the unit-restore confirm names the PACKAGE's date - read from the mirrored manifest's own
created_at, not from the status record - plus a clause saying why it is older.
THE CAUSE. RestoreTier2Unit now refills a hollow or absent primary unit from the mirror it just
restored from, INSIDE the call before returning. The hollow manifest was written two seconds after
a restore by the 5-minute capture job; any follow-up job races it. The capture itself is NOT guarded:
a capture describing an empty drive as empty is correct, and with the primary refilled there is no
hollow state left to describe. Never over a complete primary, never after a failed restore.
recordTier2Success and tier2UnitConfirmMsg keep their old signatures as thin callers, so no existing
test needed editing. New seam unitRehydrate, separate from tier2Mirror on purpose.
22 new Go tests. Red-proofs run and reverted: A6 (predicate -> size threshold), B1 (guard removed ->
the copy's 3 files are DELETED and the seam is called), B6 (a general never-shrink rule -> the shrink
case fails), C2 (only-when-hollow dropped -> the complete primary is overwritten).
