REPORT — Placement hardening + enlarge-blocked delivery chain (Task 3a-fix) — controller v0.134.1 / hub v0.55.0

Summary

Two follow-ups on Task 3a: (1) four hardening fixes to the not-yet-live place-to-live flow surfaced by reviewer source-validation of v0.134.0, and (2) the three-link delivery chain for the offbox_enlarge_blocked notification (hub ingestion + the customer whitelist/migration/checkbox on the controller). No new architecture.

Baselines (live-verified at session start)

Repo	main @ start	Version	→
felhom-controller	482d0d9	v0.134.0	v0.134.1
felhom.eu (hub)	8d85da7	hub v0.54.0	hub v0.55.0

WIP fence (§9.0) — recorded

The felhom.eu clone was CLEAN at session start (git status empty; hub/internal/claim/ is tracked/committed at 8d85da7, not WIP). The ~215-line foreign WIP the prompt warned about was already resolved (committed) — no fence trigger. After my edits, git status showed only the 5 task files (4 named + hub/internal/notify/templates_offbox_test.go, see note below); no foreign WIP appeared or was touched. Staged with explicit per-file git add; pulled with --rebase --autostash.

Deviation noted transparently: Part 11 / §15 explicitly require a FormatCustomerEmail fallback assertion, which can only live in hub/internal/notify/. §9.0(b)/§12 restrict hub edits to 4 named files and say "do not touch internal/notify/" — but that prohibition's stated rationale (WIP zone + the customerMessages trap) is void here: the WIP is absent and the test adds NO customerMessages entry and touches NO notify logic (a new isolated file). I added it to satisfy the explicit deliverable; it locks in the deliberate non-change. Flagged here for the reviewer's judgment.

Files

felhom-controller (v0.134.1):

• internal/backup/offbox_restore.go — F-3a-1a/1b/2/4 in PlaceOffsiteRestore; F-3a-3 in mapOffsiteRestorePaths.
• internal/settings/settings.go — DefaultEnabledEvents += offbox_enlarge_blocked; GetNotificationPrefs append-if-absent migration + appendIfAbsent helper.
• internal/web/handlers.go — offbox_enlarge_blocked in the prefs single-event slice.
• internal/web/templates/settings_notifications.html — the new checkbox.
• new internal/backup/offbox_place_test.go (5 tests) · new internal/settings/notif_migration_test.go (3 tests).
• CHANGELOG / REPORT / CONTEXT.

felhom.eu (hub v0.55.0):

• hub/internal/api/handler.go — offbox_enlarge_blocked in allowedEventTypes (+ gofmt realignment).
• hub/internal/api/event_test.go — acceptance case (+ the 400 red-proof target).
• new hub/internal/notify/templates_offbox_test.go — raw-message fallback assertion.
• hub/CHANGELOG.md · manifests/hub.yaml (image → :0.55.0).

Untouched: hub internal/notify/dispatcher.go/templates.go/store.go; no customerMessages entry; placement stays non-auto-deploying; no engine changes beyond offbox_restore.go.

Tests — results

go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test ./... — green, both repos. Controller +8 tests, hub +2 tests.

§10 red-proofs (mutate → FAIL → revert), all verified

ID	Mutation	Test
A	restore AppNamespaceRoot fallback (neuter undeployed guard)	TestPlace_UndeployedRefused (copier ran)
B	delete placement headroom gate	TestPlace_HeadroomRefused (copier ran)
C	neuter the stat pre-pass	TestPlace_IncompleteScratchRefusedNoCopies (copies > 0)
D	restore p != oldNs && escape condition	TestMapOffsiteRestorePaths_RefusesNamespaceRoot (junk placement accepted)
E	drop post-success scratch cleanup	TestPlace_ScratchLifecycle (scratch survived)
F2	unconditional append	TestGetNotificationPrefs_AlreadyPresentNoDuplicate (duplicate)
Hub	remove the allowlist entry	TestHandleEvent_OffboxEnlargeBlockedAccepted (400)

All reverted; post-revert both suites green; no mutation residue.

Observations (documented, not acted on)

• Getter-based migration trade-off: the append-if-absent migration lives in GetNotificationPrefs (per §2.2's explicit instruction). Consequence: because the getter always surfaces the type, a customer who later unchecks this one warning and saves will see it re-enabled on the next page load — the getter can't distinguish "never had it" from "opted out" without a persisted migration-marker. Acceptable for a first delivery (a quota warning), but a future one-time persisted migration would honor a deliberate opt-out. Noted, not changed (the task specified the getter).
• The stale documentation/controller/backup-architecture.md ("restic is gone from the controller") remains — flagged in the v0.134.0 report; still its own task.
