The gap was already detected and warned about, in Hungarian, naming the app and the folders --
that warning is what stopped the R-201 drill. The defect was that the run still reported `ok`
beside it, and a warning standing beside a success is read as a success.
last_status gains "incomplete": minted, because "ok" | "error" | "running" had nothing meaning
"it ran, and this app is not fully protected". NOT "error" -- the rest of the run worked and
what was captured is real, so SnapshotCount and the LastSuccess anchor still record it. Half a
backup is not no backup.
The gaps are now recorded STRUCTURALLY (offboxRunResult.mandatoryGaps), not only as prose, so
the verdict has something to act on. It reaches the operator through the EXISTING per-run digest
(backup_run_failures) rather than a new event type -- a new type is a two-repo change and the
hub drops anything outside allowedEventTypes.
The stat-filter gains the ClassMandatory check Tier 2 already had. It is a NO-OP today
(TierOffsite admits mandatory only), so no customer-visible warning disappears -- demonstrated
by widening the tier filter alone and watching the check hold the line.
ANTICIPATED: calibre-web on demo-hp has exactly this gap, so its off-site status becomes
incomplete the moment this ships. That is correct and is the point.
Red-proofs: my first Scenario-C proof PASSED because the test only reached offboxCaptureSet
while the mutation lives in runOffboxInternal -- a mutation the test cannot observe is not a
red-proof, and the fix was the test. The run-level test now fails under both mutations
(unreachable gap recording; unconditional ok).
Closes the two findings from DIAG-immich-restore-2026-07-19. Viktor deleted 11
immich photos to test offsite restore; both runs flashed success and the photos
stayed gone. Two independent defects.
R-43 — no offsite path could restore a database. All three buttons were
file-only: the two "visszaállítás" actions staged to a scratch folder and never
touched postgres, and place-to-live merged only MISSING files. For a DB-indexed
app the bytes returned and the app still could not see them. The dump was
carried INTO every snapshot and could never be replayed OUT of one.
New ReconstituteFromOffsite (/backup/offbox/reconstitute): safety dump → stop →
files overwritten to the snapshot version → start → the snapshot's own dump
replayed → health wait. Two invariants:
- nothing is ever deleted (-a, no --ignore-existing, no --delete): a file
created after the snapshot survives as an extra;
- the undo exists before the act — the pre-restore- dump is verified ON DISK
before anything is stopped, overwritten or replayed; if it cannot be taken
the operation refuses with zero changes.
The replay reads the SCRATCH unit: the live unit is never overwritten, so
replaying from it would replay the current DB over itself and restore nothing.
R-44 — a manual push shipped an unrefreshed dump (up to ~24h old). That day's
predated the customer's account by four hours and probed to asset:0/user:0/
album:0 inside 52MB whose bulk was immich's shipped geodata. Every run, manual
AND nightly, now refreshes dumps + units BEFORE capturing. Order is the
mechanism: the gap can only ADD files the DB does not reference yet, never
remove one it does. Manifests carry offsite_run_id + dumps_at, so coherence is
verifiable at restore time rather than assumed; the periodic refresh carries a
prior stamp forward and never invents one.
Honesty surfaces, all warn-level and none a gate: unstamped (pre-v0.148) pairs
report their skew, ValidateDump gained an EXACT-match accounts-table sniff for
customer-empty dumps, the completion flash states an outcome instead of a
mechanism, and the missing-only button now says what it does NOT do.
11 tests; 5 red-proofs run and reverted. Two of those found real test weaknesses
rather than confirming strength — the first undo mutation was caught by a second
guard, and the first table-matching test did not discriminate between the two
matchers at all. Both tests were rewritten to the cases that separate them.
NOT in scope: R-41's catalog invariant check, nightly cadence, retention, quota
math, tier-2, and v0.147.x progress semantics beyond one added phase line.
Live acceptance (§9) has NOT run: no capability-map flip, customer-restore row
stays MISSING, R-3 stays DRAFT.

Third real run, third thing only a live run could show. The per-app legs
finished in ~15 seconds; the remaining 40 of the 57-second run was the shares leg
and forget --prune, during which the card sat frozen on "calibre-web — 8 / 8
fájl". The same frozen-looking silence 4c exists to remove, relocated to the end.
Progress now carries a phase. The post-app stages announce themselves and the
app-scoped counters are cleared when a phase starts, so the last app's finished
numbers are never shown against work that is no longer about that app. Starting
the next app clears the phase again. Pinned by a test.

The v0.147.1 file-count fallback fixed the incremental case but not the one the
demo box actually hits. Watching a second real run: bookstack reported clean byte
progress (100%, 154.0 MB, 7/7 files — the byte path works), while immich sat at
files_done 1 of 46, bytes_done 0, for 42 seconds.
restic 0.14 only counts a file into bytes_done/files_done when it COMPLETES, so
an app dominated by a single large archive (immich's ~430MB volume tar) freezes
both counters. No percentage can move in that window, so stop trying to fake one.
restic keeps reporting current_files and seconds_elapsed throughout. The card now
names the file being processed and the elapsed time: "1 / 46 fájl (430.2 MB) ·
feldolgozás alatt: immich_upload.tar · 42 mp". "Working on this file for 42
seconds" is a completely different message from "0%", and it is the honest one.
The last known current_files value persists across ticks that omit it (restic
does not send it every tick, and blanking the label every other second is its own
flicker); switching app clears it so one app's file is never shown against
another. Both pinned by tests, with the real 42-second status line shape.

Found by watching the v0.147.0 card during a real manual run on the demo box,
which is the only way this was going to surface: a 430MB immich push reported 0%
for 40+ seconds and then completed.
The parser was not broken. restic was genuinely reporting no transferred bytes —
on an incremental run where nothing changed, bytes_done is omitempty on restic's
side so it is not even in the JSON, and percent_done stays 0 for the whole run.
Confirmed against the real schema by capturing backup --dry-run --json from
restic 0.14.0 in the controller image rather than guessing; those captured lines
are now quoted verbatim in the type's doc comment.
Why it mattered: a byte-only bar is indistinguishable from a hang in the COMMON
case, which is precisely the silence 4c set out to remove. Shipping it would have
traded "no feedback" for "feedback that says 0% and looks stuck".
files_done/total_files are now parsed and published alongside the bytes; the card
prefers bytes when bytes move, otherwise drives the bar from files and says
"N / M fájl ellenőrizve". parseResticStatus returns a struct instead of four
positional values, and a new test pins the real incremental line shape (bytes
absent, files climbing) so a refactor cannot quietly restore the stuck bar.

The systemic complaint, twice in one evening: you press a button and nothing
happens. No progress, no ETA, no named result. Three worst offenders, fixed on
the two patterns already here (deploy 3-step panel, storage-init status poll).
No new framework — that is a ROADMAP item; three targeted cards ship tonight.
4a — a verification restore names its result. The flash said the app had been
restored "to a verification folder on the drive"; which folder, on which drive,
was invisible, so the customer could not go and look at what they had just asked
for. Full path now. The restore page gained a listing of existing verification
copies (app, size, date, path) — nothing anywhere showed these, so they piled up
and the only way to find them was SSH — each with a double-confirmed delete.
That delete is the only one this release adds, so it names a STACK, never a
path: the Manager resolves the name inside a backups/offsite-restore root it
computed itself and refuses anything landing outside. Red-proofed — neutralise
the name guard and stack:"" resolves to the offsite-restore ROOT and takes every
copy with it. Refusals are asserted as non-effects.
4b — Megosztás enable shows what it is waiting for. Enabling ran ReconcileSamba
synchronously inside the POST handler; on a golden without felhom-samba baked
that is compose pulling ~100MB, i.e. minutes of an apparently-hung form post
followed by "Beállítás mentve." whether or not anything came up. Detached +
polled now, distinguishing "képfájl letöltése" from "indítás" — decided BEFORE
the work starts, since afterwards the image is always present. Success is
probed, not inferred (compose up -d exits 0 on a crash-loop). The password form
starts the same job: with UserSet false reconcile deploys nothing, so on a fresh
box that is where the pull actually happens.
4c — "Távoli mentés most" streams real progress. restic was already reporting
bytes and percent; the runner seam used CombinedOutput() and discarded them. The
manual run now passes --json and scans stdout line-by-line: total bytes, percent,
current app. Manual only — the nightly stays silent, pinned by a test that fails
if it ever passes --json. The poll now arms unconditionally, closing a race the
manual trigger always ran: the redirect rendered before the goroutine wrote
LastStatus=running, so the poll never armed and the page sat static during the
very run just started. Red-proofed twice.
Also closes the golden/controller infra-image drift at the source: infra.Images()
derives from the existing pins and --print-infra-images exposes it, so the golden
bake can stop carrying its own copy. That copy had already drifted — felhom-samba
was never added, so the golden baked 3 of 4, which is why enabling Megosztás
pulled at runtime in the first place.

report.Waiter holds a hanging GET against hub /api/v1/wait?gen=N (same hub
URL+key as the pusher). On a generation change it fires the v0.139.0
report.Trigger — nothing else; the report ACK delivers everything through the
unchanged machinery. No overall client timeout (held GET); per-request ctx
bounds a dead connection. First-observation records-not-fires; same-gen
timeout fires nothing; errors (incl. 404 from a pre-v0.58.0 hub) back off
5s->5min while the 15-min cycle reconciles. Wired beside the trigger under the
same hubPusher!=nil && Hub.Enabled gate.
Red-proof: disable the baseline branch -> first observation fires
(TestWaiter_FirstObservationRecordsNoFire), run-fail-reverted.
Copy soften: backups_remote/escrow "néhány másodperc, legfeljebb 15 perc".
Pairs with hub v0.58.0. Grounding:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16.md
After a completed escrow ceremony the Távoli mentés page showed the yellow
"Helyreállítási kód szükséges" card for ~15 min until the next hub-report ACK
flipped pending→escrowed. Phase-0 diagnosis (read-only) = verdict A (report-cycle
lag), already resolved on the demo box (escrow_state:"escrowed"); hub Hypothesis B
verified false (SaveHostEscrow ON CONFLICT already clears stale_at on upload) → no
hub change.
- settings.OffboxTarget.CeremonyCompletedAt: stamped on the recovery-code claim,
zeroed on the auto-confirmer Flip + the deprecated manual confirm; persisted.
- web/handlers.go: offboxCeremonyWaitState + escrowCeremonyGraceWindow (35m).
- backups_remote.html: info "megerősítésre vár, legfeljebb 15 perc" card → warn
"a megerősítés nem érkezett meg" past the window. Existing branches untouched.
- backups_escrow.html: "Mi történik ezután?" note on the wizard's final step.
- Test web/escrow_wait_state_test.go (truth table + red-proof recorded in REPORT).
No scheduler/agent/hub/endpoint changes.

- offboxWarningDisplay(lastWarning, toggledCount) — pure DISPLAY pick, no state mutation:
a persisted 'nincs mentésre jelölt alkalmazás' run-result is replaced by
'A kijelölés módosult az utolsó futás óta — a következő távoli mentés már tartalmazza.'
once ≥1 app is toggled; 0 toggled keeps the v0.123.0 honesty verbatim; every other
warning (quota, partial) passes through untouched
- replacement renders NEUTRAL (exception-color principle: reassurance, not deviation);
the untouched original keeps the warn color
- unit + render tests; red-proven (pick removed → 1-enabled case fails at both levels)
