A drive move persisted through the restore's fresh app.yaml write and dropped the pin: the syncer
then copied the catalog verbatim and the next start jumped the app past its ladder (R-700).
persistDriveFlip now changes HDD_PATH and nothing else. The restore's write carries the life
records (conversion copies, desired_state, update history) from the app.yaml it replaces, and a
second conversion no longer overwrites the first kept copy's record (R-697).

The unit's data files are stamped with the versions that wrote them; the capture keeps the
definition the data belongs to; a restore never starts data under another version's
definition (unit restores refuse a mismatch; the off-site restore writes the snapshot's
definition); every tier's time is its data's; the conversion-copy release needs a dump on
the new engine. File-browser sync single-flight + no empty kept folder (R-695); the kept
view joins the folder's owning group, language switch resyncs (R-691); a restore-generated
login is not shown as the password (R-694). Red-proofs in

An install over an app's kept drive folder (appdata/<app> non-empty) asks the household:
"use my kept data" (a load from the newest copy of THIS drive's install, own unit or
second-drive mirror, then the template's after_load) or "start fresh" (the folder is
renamed into <drive>/kept/<app>/<date>/ with the removed app's unit; nothing deleted).
The install API answers 409 kept_data_choice until one is chosen; DeployStack refuses
too. New page Megorzott adatok / Kept data (/kept-data): Load / Look / Delete (typed
confirmation, the only deletion of kept data). FileBrowser gets a read-only source.
The drive-full warning names the kept folders. <drive>/kept is protected and outside
every backup leg.
R-690: the removed-app restore (R-487) never found a unit on a DATA drive — it asked
GetStackComposePath (true for every catalog app) and restored nextcloud with no env.
Now isStackDeployed; pinned with a production-shaped provider.

Found live on 9202 (night 2026-09-24 Part B): the sync rendered the ladder's newest
tested digest into a RUNNING app's compose, so the next restart would pull a new image

Found live on 9202 (romm): .felhom.yml flows into the stack dir on every
catalog sync, so "the old .felhom.yml" saved at update time was already the
new one, and the serving old version was judged with the new probe.
New record applied-meta/.felhom.yml, written whenever a version is pinned
(deploy, adoption, pin advance) and put back by the undo, like
applied-compose.yml. The fixture now places the new file at sync time.

The guarded update gains a folder copy of the app's named volumes, taken
after the pull where the app stops anyway (decision 19, chosen by the
2026-09-23 bake-off). On a failed health check the box undoes: every copy
validated by its finished-marker first, volumes refilled, definition and pin
from the job's own pre-update copies, the old version checked with the OLD
.felhom.yml probe. It holds only if the undo fails, and the hold sentence
says so and what state the data is in. Bind-mounted folders are never
touched.
- R-637 built; R-638/R-640/R-641 do not arise with a folder copy; R-639
(pre-update copies incl. .felhom.yml kept until the undo is over).
- journal phases copying/undoing with power-cut recovery.
- app.yaml last_update_undone + one line on the app page (hu/en).
- R-642: start/restart never answer "completed".

R-630 (P1): waitUpdateHealthy kept the probe inside `if hc != nil && len(hc.Checks) > 0`, and when
findProbeContainer returned "" its else set last="no probe container" and LOOPED - the settle path
sat in the outer else, unreachable. So verifying could only time out and failAndHold then stopped a
working app. Measured on paperless-ngx: three containers healthy, failed at +313.0s, front door 404
after. It now falls through to the same settle path with a WARN naming the candidates.
The probe target is decidable now: HealthCheckConfig.Container plus findProbeContainerMeta resolve
by exact stack name -> explicit container -> a UNIQUE prefix -> nothing with the candidates
returned. The old rule took the FIRST prefix match. A skipped stack records why instead of silence.
R-634 (half): RemoveStack refused on the !Deployed FLAG while the machine had containers, a compose
file and an app.yaml. It now asks whether anything EXISTS. The mechanism producing the bad record is
still not diagnosed and R-634 stays open for it.
R-633/R-626: RemoveStack consults UpdateGuards.Busy and IsUpdating and refuses with the app's own
sentence - the product already refused this clash for update and for restore. And because `down`
returning 0 is a request not a result, the project is watched for 25s afterwards, anything carrying
its label is removed by name with its labels logged, and the answer carries `verified`.
R-621: failAndHold writes compose logs --tail 400 into <stackdir>/hold-logs/<ts>/ BEFORE the down
that destroys them. Two existing tests pin the compose sequence and correctly caught the new step;
their expectations are updated with the reason that the ORDER is the assertion.
R-614: RemoveStack calls ClearUpdateState.
NOT in this release: R-625 (a held app still renders an Update button). Named, not half-done.

MEASURED 2026-09-15 (BIGNIGHT Phase 6): privatebin updated 2.0.5 -> 2.0.6, catalog
reverted to 2.0.5, and the box read „Frissítés elérhető — ma" over an Update that
would have moved the pin BACKWARDS onto a possibly-migrated datadir.
- stacks.CatalogOrder: the comparison gains a fourth answer (Ahead) and moves out of
web, so the badge and UpdatePreflight cannot drift apart.
- The badge: ahead reads „Naprakész"/"Up to date", tag-ok, with a title saying why.
- The refusal: UpdatePreflight returns `downgrade` (409), born as a bundle key; the
API now renders update refusals through errText so it reaches English households.
- Ahead is narrow: every differing service must be orderable AND newer, else Behind.

The composed-sentence-into-page-data class is now five instances and has its
own warning block in the README's i18n section, with the two things that make
a live probe lie: the felhom_lang cookie is ignored behind auth (so an English
probe of /backups returns Hungarian and reads as unfixed), and an apostrophe in
an English value is escaped so no assertion on the rendered page ever matches.

MinAgent: 0.131.0 (unchanged). Needs hub v0.118.0+, which shipped first and
tolerates a box that sends none of this - every box in the fleet is that box
until this release reaches it.
The hub writes a household's e-mails in their language now, but about a third
of those mails carry a sentence the BOX composed, naming a drive, an app or a
number. The hub cannot translate one. So the box sends it twice.
- message_customer on POST /api/v1/event, omitempty. A HUNGARIAN household
sends nothing extra at all, so its payload stays byte-for-byte what every box
sends today and the hub's fallback path keeps being the one production
exercises rather than a branch nobody takes.
- 19 producers render both sentences from ONE bundle key. `message` stays
Hungarian always: it is what the operator is mailed and what the hub logs.
- customer.language bootstraps a new box - stored choice, then config, then
Hungarian. The config value is NEVER written into settings.json: that would
record a choice the household never made.
The Hungarian did not move, measured twice: the wire golden from the slice-2
base commit, and the Go parity gate over all 19 new keys.
Three guards had to learn the change and one caught me: the test seam now
carries the new field; the R-329 severity register reported two dynamic sites
as no longer existing the moment they moved off PushEvent (the walk now checks
36 severity literals, up from 20); and TestConfigLanguageIsWiredInMain reads
main.go, because cmd/ is gitignored and ripgrep does not.
A mistake, named: the first pass dropped displayName from three producers,
which would have mailed customers "Alkalmazás telepítve: %!s(MISSING)". Caught
reading the diff; now pinned by a test that refuses %!/MISSING/%s/%d in either
language.

The notes a background run SAVES — last night's backup line, the last error, the proof
result, the restore outcome — are written in the BOX's language at the moment they are
written. A household that switches sees the previous run's note in the old language until
the next run rewrites it: the operator's §16 option 1, stated rather than hidden.
EndRestoreOp no longer receives a Hungarian literal from anywhere.
The language switch is a globe. Two text links wrapped in the sidebar footer and asked the
reader to recognise "Magyar"/"English" as links; a globe is the one symbol every web user
already reads as "language", so nobody has to read Hungarian to escape Hungarian. It is
<details>/<summary> — a menu with no script, drawn inline because the icon sprite lives
only in layout.html and the visitor pages have their own shell.
Those visitor pages get the same globe, and a visitor's choice stays theirs: a display-only
felhom_lang cookie that langFor reads ONLY when there is no session. A signed-in household
can never inherit a language a previous visitor picked in the same browser. POST /lang is
CSRF-exempt for a narrow reason written at the exemption — its only achievable effect is the
language of the page the victim's own browser shows them — and safeBackPath refuses
//evil.example as well as https://, because "starts with /" alone is not the test. §16 taken:
a successful claim carries the cookie into the household's setting.
TWO PARITY EXCEPTIONS, MEASURED: 106 fixtures compared with a real diff — exactly two change
shapes (the dashboard footer, the globe in the shells) and 5 byte-identical, which are the
three pages that must not change.
I INTRODUCED A DEADLOCK AND THE SUITE CAUGHT IT BY HANGING. UpdateOffboxStatus holds the
settings write lock while running its callback; boxLang() wants the read lock; sync.RWMutex
is not reentrant. On a real box an off-site run would have hung forever HOLDING the settings
lock. Fixed by resolving the language before the callback, and guarded by a test that names
the file and line in a second instead of hanging for 25 minutes.

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.

Slice 1 translated the dashboard's markup. The sentences the program BUILDS were still
Hungarian literals in Go, so an English household clicked an English button and was
answered in Hungarian. 226 of them move into the bundle here.
A flash was the hard part: it travels inside the redirect URL and is rendered by a
DIFFERENT request, so it now carries a bundle key plus its parameters. A link minted by
an older controller carries prose and is shown verbatim — never a raw key, never dropped.
Also converted: page data and view-model text, the internal/api JSON answers, the alert
banners (Alert.MessageKey, rendered on the way out of GetAlerts), 237 country names at
display, and the four page titles built around an app name (R-566 closed).
Hungarian is byte-identical, and that is measured rather than read:
scripts/i18n_go_parity.py freezes every Go literal at the base commit (7 467) and refuses
a key whose Hungarian is not that text, byte for byte. Three decoys, each seen to convict.
Its own first version filtered the capture through an ASCII-Hungarian word list and missed
seven real literals — the R-565 class. The filter is gone.
Nothing on the wire moved, and wire goldens now hold it there: the report's health
warnings and every notify event message stay Hungarian, because the hub MAILS the
controller's sentence when it has no entry of its own. Slice 3 (R-558) owns those.

MinAgent: 0.131.0 (unchanged). Requires hub v0.117.0 for restore_interrupted.
R-550 (operator ruling: fix). A design reversed and recorded: the restore
op-status was in memory by choice. Now restore-status.json in DataDir, written
atomically at both ends of an op. At startup a record still marked running
becomes a failed, interrupted result kept per app until that app's next
restore, shown on /backups/restore and the off-site wizard, and raised once as
restore_interrupted. Cooldowns stay in memory.
R-546. The R-543 reminder bar consults the agent's own preflight ok (every
blocking item, not a copy of pbs_storage_id), cached 60 s, probed only while
paused. /backup/escrow shows a waiting card that polls and reloads instead of
red crosses and English diagnostics. POST /api/escrow/start refuses 409 before
staging or starting - the direct path chaos night used. Unknown readiness keeps
the bar.

Off-site backup is ON by default and does not RUN until the household creates its
recovery code. The pause is the zero-knowledge escrow design and is untouched here;
what was missing is that nothing ASKED, while the app-backup page promised the very
copy that had never run.
- a reminder bar on every authenticated page while the off-site tier is configured
and its escrow is not complete, linking /backup/escrow. It is the R-241 bar, second
instance: same session-cookie dismissal, back next visit, gone for good when
escrowed. No second banner system. It hangs off executeTemplate, the single render
choke point, so it cannot reach only the pages someone remembered.
- the tier-1 file sentence renders by tier3State's own vocabulary instead of the
app's shape: active -> "vedi", escrow_pending -> "vedene ... szunetel" + the route,
no copy at all -> says so and names both ways out.
- both fixes red-proofed: the bar test fails on BOTH pages with the hook removed; the
sentence test quotes the exact v0.244.0 promise when the state is ignored.

R-537 — the contents label is now PER TIER. One string computed from the app's
shape was rendered on all three tier rows; a Tier-1 unit has no file-copy step, so
for the four class-A apps it was claiming „Adatok" for files it does not hold.
R-538 — a unit restore REFUSES before anything is touched when the unit cannot
return the app's drive-side files, and names the route that can. It runs before the
stack is stopped because the measured harm included the app's own wastebasket going
unreachable, which still held every byte.
R-536 — „Alkalmazás telepítve" moved from the deploy's acceptance to its completion,
with app_deploy_started and app_deploy_failed as the honest pair.

R-487: the local backup lists are keyed on the drives, not on what is
deployed — a removed app whose unit was kept is listed with the restore
that reinstalls it, the picker answers for it, and the restore opens the
unit where it sits. R-491: a removal clears the app's update hold.
R-490: /api/system/info reaches the API router and reads the default
storage path. R-489: volumes_removed is the real before/after difference,
[] when none. R-476: a Tier-2 copy is dated by its data, not its manifest.
R-456: the boot-orphan rule is pinned. Every fix red-proofed.
Operator ruling 2026-09-13. An app with classified binds walks second
drive -> off-site -> own unit (its unit holds no files); volume apps keep
2 -> 1 -> 3. RestoreHold.CopyHolds records what the chosen copy holds and
the sentence ends with it; older holds keep their tier-only sentence.
Tests on both halves; red-proof: a layout-blind order fails the bind case.
R-486 (P1): removing an app with its backups KEPT keeps its Tier-2 record,
so the second-drive restore is no longer refused over an intact mirror.
R-484: postgis/pgvector/timescaledb images are Postgres (logical dumps).
R-485: the backup card sizes the recovery unit and the mirror(s).
R-480: a held update's sentence leaves the card once the hold is lifted.
R-477: the update's off-site lookup is one snapshots call, no stats.
R-478: a copy older than this install's deploy does not count.
R-474: "delete backups" deletes the unit, the mirror(s) and the prefs.
Tests and red-proofs per row; evidence in felhom.eu
documentation/audits/v0240-2026-09-13/ and nightly-2026-09-13-adventurelog/.
Operator ruling 2026-09-13. The update precondition walks Tier 2, Tier 1
(own recovery unit, "helyi") and Tier 3 (off-site, 15 s bound; unreachable
counts as absent with a WARN) and leans on the first FRESH copy; the
backup_max_age rule applies to whichever tier is chosen. No copy anywhere:
back up first. Refused only when nothing exists and no backup can be taken.
RunAppBackupNow tolerates a Tier-2 failure (WARN) and marks the captured
unit proven current. The hold names the tier (második meghajtó / saját
meghajtó / távoli mentés) and the date; pre-v0.239.0 holds keep their text.
A successful off-site restore now lifts an update hold. The backups page
still uses Tier2UnitRestorePoint unchanged.
Scenarios G-M tested; red-proofs M, L, the tail and the off-site clear in
felhom.eu documentation/audits/rulings-r472-r475-2026-09-13/.
Found live in v0.238.0 Scenario F on demo-hp: during an update's 5-minute health wait the app is not
yet held, and the periodic recovery-unit capture at 10:17:09 wrote the never-started definition
(alpine:3.20) into its PRIMARY unit, 53 s before the hold landed. The Tier-2 mirror the hold names
survived only because Tier 2 runs daily; a nightly Tier 2 inside a verify window would have mirrored
the broken definition over the copy the customer is told to restore from.
backup.Manager.isHeld — consulted by the capture sweep, the Tier-2 run and the volume dump — is now
also true while a guarded update is moving the app, via SetUpdatingCheck wired in main.go to
stacks.Manager.IsUpdating. Test with positive control + red-proof; wiring pinned.

No behaviour change on the box — the surface only.
- Frissítés follows the job: the button shows the phase label (polling GET /api/stacks/{name}
every 3 s) and the page reloads when updating goes false.
- An updating card offers no lifecycle button; a held card (failed update OR failed restore) shows
the hold sentence with a Mentések link and nothing that would start it; a failed update that held
nothing shows its sentence above the buttons. app_info shows the same three notices.
- The updating/held checks run BEFORE isOperational, which counts `restarting` as operational — how
the 2026-09-01 spike saw a green Frissítés beside a crash loop. Pinned with StateRestarting
fixtures; red-proofed by moving the checks after it (both tests fail).

Tier-2 copy) → backup-first when the proven copy is older than
update.backup_max_age (24h) → safety dump BEFORE the pin moves → pin →
pull (failure puts the pin back) → up → health (.felhom.yml check or 60 s
settle, update.health_timeout 5m). Not healthy → the app is stopped and
HELD (RestoreHold reason update_failed, same store and gate as R-379) and
the page names the backup to restore from; the pin stays. Success is only
ever update_phase=done after health (R-443). UpdateStack is deleted.
The restorable-unit predicate is EXTRACTED to backup.Tier2UnitRestorePoint
and shared with the backups page (row pinned unchanged). The copy is aged
by the last successful Tier-2 copy, not the manifest created_at — measured
on demo-hp that created_at moves only on definition changes.
Crash safety: update-journal.json before each phase; RecoverUpdates before
the boot sweep, ResumeInterruptedUpdates after the guards are wired.
Three unattended start paths ignored a hold and now honour it: the
drive-return gate (restart + boot recreate) and the nightly volume dump.
The nightly capture and Tier-2 run skip held apps so the restore point
survives. No automatic rollback — measured per-app; route back = restore.
Tests A–H across stacks/backup/api/web/cmd; six red-proofs seen to fail.

Removal resolves the drive from the app's own app.yaml HDD_PATH (the 07 ~L437
rule), never the global cfg.Paths.HDDPath which no box sets. A data removal
that cannot be resolved, or whose drive is absent, is refused with a typed
RemoveRefusedError -> 409 + exact Hungarian sentence, before compose down, and
the app is kept. SSD app -> hdd_paths_removed: [] never null; missing folders
stated; backup-path refusals reach the response.
15 tests, two red-proofs run (pre-fix fallback -> C fails with err=nil and the
handler 200s; "no drive refuses" -> D fails).

Slice 3. R-447 was BLOCKED because R-438 established that RestartStack's use of
up -d to pick up template changes was CHOSEN and written down in its own comment.
The operator ruled Option 1, and this implements it.
The rule: while the catalog offers the same version you run, its fixes flow to
you; the moment it moves to a newer version you are frozen until you update.
NOTHING was added to any of the thirteen compose up -d call sites. Most of them
are repairs - the boot reconciler, the drive-return gate, the app-stop guard -
and a repair path that refuses to repair leaves a customer's app down, which is
worse than the problem. They are made safe by removing the reason.
app.yaml gains pinned_images: what the app is SUPPOSED to run. It is NOT
installed_images, which is an observation; letting a reading become a deployment
is the R-166 category error one field over. Four writers, each also storing the
exact definition as applied-compose.yml. UpdateStack advances the pin and
re-renders BEFORE the pull, because pull and up -d act on the file on disk, and a
pin set afterwards would pull the frozen version and report success.
The syncer renders instead of copying, through one nil-safe seam. Catalog images
equal the pin -> verbatim, so fixes and self-healing both survive; they differ ->
the WHOLE stored definition, never a substitution of refs into a newer template
(wger 2.6 needs a DB config the older template cannot supply). This is
deliberately not 'skip deployed apps', which was option B and was rejected.
AdoptPins runs once at boot after the backfill, files only, and skips loudly
rather than inventing a pin. syncer.Start() moved to after it: the initial sync
would otherwise run while every app was unpinned and overwrite a deployed app's
version once per boot.
THE BADGE HAD TO CHANGE OR SLICE 2 WOULD HAVE INVERTED SILENTLY. TemplateImages
reads the LIVE compose file, which is now the frozen one, so the comparison would
have answered Naprakesz on exactly the apps that are behind - with every test
green, because the new field has the same type. It now reads CatalogImages.
+16 tests (1729 -> 1745), 28 packages green. Three red-proofs run and reverted.
A test also caught the syncer writing an empty compose file over a live app.
The operator looked at demo-felhom the morning after v0.233.0 and found OpenGist
- up 15 hours, running exactly the catalog pin - showing no badge at all.
v0.233.0 wrote the record only from the four bring-up paths, so an app nobody
restarts carried no record indefinitely. On a quiet box that is every app, which
is the box we most want to see. The known limitation WAS the feature not working.
BackfillInstalledImages runs once at startup, beside BackfillDesiredState and
before the boot reconciler. It READS containers: starts nothing, restarts
nothing, writes no compose file. It never overwrites an existing record.
And it REFUSES to seed a partial observation, which is why this is not a
three-line loop: the badge reads a service-count mismatch as BEHIND, so seeding a
degraded app from what is visible would render 'Frissites elerheto' over an app
that is perfectly current. The bring-up paths may write a partial because they
follow a successful up -d where a gap is real news; a backfill meets any state.
Same data, two writers, two admission rules - deliberately.
Also fixes a calendar bomb of mine: the render test hardcoded catalog_since and
the string '46 napja', but the render path reads time.Now(), so it was green on
the day it was written and red the next morning. Now derived. Filed as R-457
with six other candidate files named as unchecked, not accused.
+5 tests (1724 -> 1729), 28 packages green. Red-proof of the partial guard run
and reverted; the wiring and its ORDER pinned by an AST walk.
Update arc slices 1 and 2. NEITHER CHANGES ANY BEHAVIOUR — no new endpoint, no
auto-update, the three lifecycle buttons byte-identical.
Slice 1 — app.yaml gains installed_images, keyed by compose SERVICE name, each
entry carrying ref + repo digest + first-seen timestamp. Written by
Manager.recordInstalledImages after a successful compose up from StartStack,
RestartStack, UpdateStack and runComposeDeploy. Read from the CONTAINER, never
from docker-compose.yml: the syncer overwrites a deployed app's compose on a
15-minute cycle and the two disagreed for 25 minutes in the spike's own
measurement. A failed write NEVER refuses the action - the deliberate opposite
of SetDesiredState, because this is an observation and that is an intent. Not
called from StartStackServices (the R-47 DB-only window). Its own docker seam
with a context and a 30s timeout, which neither existing exec helper has.
Slice 2 — .felhom.yml gains optional catalog_since; web.updateBadge compares the
recorded ref per service against what the current template pins and returns a
*MetaBadge through the EXISTING meta_badge partial. No new markup, no new CSS.
NO RECORD RENDERS NOTHING: absent means unknown and never means current. No
version number reaches the customer and no registry is queried.
Known limitation, filed not hidden: 23 catalog pins float, so those apps can read
Naprakesz when the image behind the tag has moved.
+17 tests (1707 -> 1724), 28 packages green. Wiring proven through a real
RestartStack plus an AST walk of the four call sites. Three companion red-proofs
run and reverted.
R-87 re-scoped by its own spike and built as Option C. MinAgent 0.129.0 unchanged.
THE QUESTION NOTHING ASKED. The weekly check proves the stored bytes are the bytes we
stored; it cannot tell us we stored the WRONG thing. A hollow recovery unit backs up
cleanly, checks cleanly at 100 percent depth, restores cleanly and gives the customer
nothing back - measured on demo-hp 2026-08-31, 120082104 B to 7036 B in one nightly run
recorded as a success (R-403). No tier and no cadence asked it. Now offsite-proof does,
nightly, on one app.
IT DOES NOT prove a restore puts data back into a running app. That stays drill work and
07 section 8 matrix row 4 is NOT moved.
THE ACCEPTANCE RULE HAS TWO PARTS AND THE OBVIOUS ONE IS A TRAP. "Check the unit against
its own packing list" PASSES a hollow unit, because a hollow unit declares nothing. So:
(1) everything declared is present, AND (2) the manifest declares what the app is supposed
to have. Part 2 is the whole value. RED-PROOFED: the naive rule makes the hollow-unit test
read verdict "pass".
THE EXPECTATION COMES FROM INSIDE THE UNIT, never the live box - the snapshot may predate
the app's shape, and GetDockerVolumes describes the running app. Database half is
DBServiceNames, the same discriminator RestoreFromRecoveryUnit uses. Volume half is
ParseComposeNamedVolumes as an EXISTENCE check, not a name match: tars are
<project>_<volume>.tar and ResolveDockerVolumeNames derives the project from the compose
file's parent dir, which inside a unit is the literal string "compose". Measured on all
eight real units on demo-hp the counts match exactly and the naming held every time - but
"held on eight" is not "derivable" (R-355). Half a rule that is true beats a whole rule
that is invented.
THREE OUTCOMES: pass, fail (readable and empty), cannot judge. An app that legitimately
has neither a database nor volumes PASSES. RED-PROOFED: alarming on any empty unit makes
that test read verdict "fail".
IT NEVER WRITES TO THE REPOSITORY and that is asserted on the ARGV as a non-effect:
--no-lock, no unlockStale, and m.runner() rather than resticStep so the unlock --remove-all
escalation is unreachable. RED-PROOFED: routing it the customer path's way makes the test
fail on "unlock" appearing in the argv.
IT TAKES acquireRunning ITSELF and skips rather than waits, because RestoreOffboxScratch
does not take it (R-408) while offbox_integrity.go states that invariant as universal.
DUE-NESS IS PER SNAPSHOT (R-86's model), never per clock. RED-PROOFED: recording a
timestamp fails the stored-value test AND breaks the rotation - night 2 re-picks night 1's
app.
ITS SCRATCH IS A SEPARATE ROOT (backups/offsite-proof) and that is a safety decision, not
tidiness: the job deletes its copy on every path, and sharing backups/offsite-restore/<app>
would mean a nightly background job deleting the verification copy a CUSTOMER is looking
at. It is also invisible to placement, so a proof copy can never be pushed into a live app.
SHARED RATHER THAN FORKED: offboxScratchDirIn parameterises the scratch resolver on its
ROOT builder, and unitOnlyHeadroom extracts the free-space gate, so the customer path and
the proof refuse at the same floor with the same Hungarian sentence. RestoreOffboxScratch's
behaviour is unchanged.
NEW EVENT offsite_proof_empty, severity error, operator-only - deliberately NOT
backup_integrity_failed, whose hub template says the store is DAMAGED. Here the store is
sound and the content is absent: different cause, different action. The hub half shipped
FIRST, in felhom.eu 1aeaa30 (hub v0.110.0, live and verified), because an unallowlisted
type is 400'd and vanishes.
33 new tests, all groups green; full suite 1689 tests, 28 packages, rc=0. All 13 controller
gates OK. Five red-proofs run and recorded in REPORT.md.
A golden carrying 0.231.0 is OWED - the fleet is on 0.230.0. Viktor's call (R-242).
CHANGELOG v0.230.0, leading with the measurement rather than the fix: 120 082 104 B -> 7 036 B on
the shipped v0.229.0, reproduced before anything was built.
CONTEXT records three rulings: hollowness is a MANIFEST question and never a size question; the
guard fences one shape and NOT shrinking, because the derived-copy rebuild is a design decision; and
the rehydrate happens inside the restore because a follow-up job races the 5-minute capture. Plus
the shape the live run taught: a warning that fires on everything costs the same as the comforting
lie it replaces.
README documents the refusal, what each surface says, and why the capture job is deliberately not
guarded. REPORT leads with Part 1's result, carries the six red-proofs, the per-row Scenario D table
with its seven-app control, and eight observations including R-404 filed-not-acted-on and three
mistakes of mine recorded rather than tidied away.
CHANGELOG v0.229.0. CONTEXT records three rulings: the source moves and the destination does not;
two predicates and not one wider one (R-356's cost restated); and a destructive operation reached
from a non-destructive surface carries the difference in the CONFIRM, not the label. README documents
the new action and route and corrects the coverage note to the measured count. REUSE maps the four
unit-directory-relative primitives and the new manager methods, with the traps.
REPORT covers the live drill on demo-hp (docmost, class B, primary unit moved aside — 3 volumes of 3
and 1 database of 1 in 28.65 s, accented filename byte-identical verified as hex, the app reading its
own row over TCP; Scenario D with the guest app.yaml also aside, secrets recovered=2/2), the settled
count (A=7 B=45 C=1, and why the earlier 9/43/1 was wrong), the five named red-proofs, and seven
observations including R-403 and a process error of mine that changed the box and is now in memory.
R-399: monitoring.integrity.read_data_subset defaults to 100%. A pack damaged
without changing its size made plain `restic check` report "no errors were found"
on demo-hp 2026-08-30; every read-data form caught it. Cost on that 134 MB store:
35.0s structure vs 39.2s at 100%. "off" (any case) is the off token; empty means
not-configured, therefore the default; a malformed value falls back to the DEFAULT,
never to structure. A completed check over 5 minutes logs a WARN naming the
duration, the depth and R-401 — operator log only, no hub event, no depth change.
The depth is now recorded with the verdict (LastIntegrityDepth; empty = NOT
RECORDED, never "structure").
R-400: 24 debug-page references, 17 dispatched, 7 dead — three of which fetched on
page LOAD, so those panels were permanently blank. backup/crossdrive implemented;
backup/infra, hub/infra-push, dr/infra-status, storage/watchdog-status and both
storage/simulate-* deleted with their panels and JavaScript.
scripts/debug_route_gate.py fails in both directions and is registered after the
seven were resolved. 18 referenced, 18 dispatched, none orphaned.
Corrections: the dead-field warning in report/types.go said the controller runs no
integrity check and the notifiers are called from nowhere — both false since
v0.227.0. controller.yaml.example gains its missing integrity: block.
integrityCheckTimeout's "ships OFF" comment rewritten.
A patch and not a rebuilt 0.227.0: that tag was already running on demo-hp, and
re-pushing changed bytes under a live tag is the :latest hazard with extra steps.
looksLikeRepositoryDamage matched bare "pack ", "tree ", "snapshot ", "blob ". A
HEALTHY restic check prints "check all packs" and "check snapshots, trees and
blobs" -- so any check that failed for a NON-damage reason, a connection dropped
mid-run for instance, would have been classified as a corrupted repository and
told the customer their backups may be damaged. That is the false alarm that
teaches an operator to ignore the true one.
Caught by the NEGATIVE control, built from the real bytes of a real passing
check on demo-hp. The spec made the negative control mandatory and this is what
it was for: a control that has only ever seen the failing case proves nothing.
Signatures are now phrases from restic's own error wording.
Also in this commit: CONTEXT.md records the three rulings (take the flag and
skip, due-ness not a weekday, publish on OffboxReportStatus not the R-331 dead
fields) plus the measurement a future session would otherwise assume wrongly --
THE STRUCTURE CHECK DOES NOT CATCH SILENT CORRUPTION. README documents the job,
the route and the config, and corrects a line that listed four debug backup
routes when only two exist. REUSE gains three rows, including one that records
R-398 was my own mistake so nobody re-files it.
Four defects on the restore surface, all proven on demo-hp during the 2026-08-21
backup-truth drill, all still in shipped code. They share one acceptance idea: a
restore surface must state what it actually did, and must refuse what it cannot
do.
VERSION NOTE. The task specifying this targeted v0.224.0 against baseline
f8c9390. Both were consumed earlier the same day by R-330 (0.224.0) and R-331
(0.225.0). Drift re-confirmed against live Gitea before the first edit, operator
authorised proceeding, every symbol the spec named re-verified present at the
real baseline e5eee50.
R-353 -- a restore that gave back nothing still said it worked.
RestoreFromRecoveryUnit returned only error, so the surface printed
"<app> visszaallitva (<snapshot>)." -- equally true of a run that returned an
entire dataset and one that returned nothing. The count already existed and was
discarded one line deep: restoreDockerVolumesFrom always returned it, the
wrapper threw it away. Now (UnitRestoreResult, error), carrying replayed counts
AND what the manifest LISTED, because zero-replayed has two causes that are
opposite news. Three cases, three sentences, and EVERY one is a claim about the
BACKUP, never about the app -- this path has no SafetyDump discriminator, and
07-backup-architecture 6.3 records that an absent dump says nothing about the
app (R-361 destroyed canonical .sql files for four months).
R-357 -- the destructive restore had no free-space gate. offbox_reconstitute.go
contained ZERO references to offboxFree; all three existing gates guard
non-destructive paths. The gate now sits before mapOffsiteRestorePaths,
writeSafetyDump and StopStack, so a refusal costs nothing. Position IS the fix,
which is why the test asserts StopStack was never called. No headroom multiplier
(matches PlaceOffsiteRestore; the x1.1 elsewhere predicts a download). Fail
closed on either probe <= 0 -- otherwise `free < need` with need==0 is FALSE and
an unmeasurable scratch sails through: a gate present and inert.
R-358 -- a failed download was offered as a good one. The gate answered "the
directory exists and is non-empty", which is exactly what a part-way restic run
leaves. Now a completion marker written 0600 atomically AFTER restic returns
nil, with any stale one cleared BEFORE it starts; both orders pinned by an AST
test because resticStep is not a seam. Both handlers refuse server-side: the
wizard flags control a button, and a hidden button is not a guard.
SCENARIO F ANSWERED, and worse than the question assumed: a unit-only scratch IS
reachable through the real flow, by the most ordinary route. "Ellenorzo
visszaallitas" (mode=unit, advertised non-destructive) writes the SAME directory
-- offboxRestoreScratchDir ignores `full` and --include limits what restic
extracts, never where -- so a customer who ran the SAFE restore was then offered
the destructive one over a unit-only copy. Filed R-396; the marker closes it.
R-360 -- the delete refused only while a BACKUP ran. IsRunning() is FALSE for the
whole of a verification restore; the five sibling handlers all use
restoreOpBlocked(). Its doc comment claimed it already did this, which is why
nobody looked -- corrected in place.
Red-proofs, each printing the pre-fix behaviour, in CHANGELOG and REPORT. The
first R-357 red-proof exposed a hollow test OF MY OWN and it is recorded rather
than quietly fixed: the fixture refused earlier at the placement stat pre-pass,
so `stops == 0` passed against the pre-fix code. Fixture corrected, assertions
reordered so a removed gate reports the outage rather than "no error returned".
Green gate clean: 28 packages, rc 0. All 12 controller gates OK.
