fix-3: deadapp-check job -> self-clearing WARN banner + one app_start_failed hub
event per running->down transition. fix-6: ring 1000->5000, periodic spam->TRACE
(ring-dropped), atomic SSD spill/load across restart. Live-validated on 9201+hub 0.48.

# REPORT — v0.120.0: dead-app alerting (fix-3) + debug-ring revision (fix-6) — CLOSES CAMPAIGN-3
**Date:** 2026-07-12 · **Version:** controller v0.120.0 (from v0.119.0) · **MinAgent:** 0.81.0 (UNCHANGED)
· **Pairs with:** hub v0.48.0 (accepts `app_start_failed`) · **Deployed:** guest 9201 (`0.120.0` healthy).
**Source:** `felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-3-2026-07-11.md`.
## What shipped
- **fix-3 (MED) — a dead deployed app is loud.** A `deadapp-check` job (every 30 s, after a 90 s boot
grace) scans the deployed apps: `stopped`/`exited` ones (`stacks.IsDownState`) raise a self-clearing
WARN dashboard banner (grouped above 3) and fire an `app_start_failed` hub event ONCE per running→down
transition (`Notifier.NotifyAppStartFailures`; the hub owns cooldown — no controller timer).
- **fix-6 (MED) — the post-incident window survives.** Ring cap 1000→5000 (display cap raised to
match); periodic scheduler/refresh success lines demoted to a `[TRACE]` level the ring drops at
write-time (failures never TRACE); atomic JSON-lines spill to `<DataDir>/debug-ring.log` (SSD only)
every 30 s + on shutdown, loaded back on boot. Corruption-safe.
- **hub v0.48.0:** `app_start_failed` added to `allowedEventTypes` + `customerMessages` (else the event
400s at ingest — the known allowlist gotcha).
## Tests + red-proofs (all green)
- fix-3: dead-app banner present + self-clears (companion: skip SetDeadAppAlerts → silent → fail);
grouped above threshold; `IsDownState` table (stopped/exited down; starting/unhealthy/restarting/
deploying/paused/unknown NOT); notifier one-event-per-transition (companion: drop tracking → fires
each cycle → fail); first-seen-down (dead-at-boot) fires; healthy never fires.
- fix-6: TRACE dropped from ring while a WARN failure is kept (companion: demote too broadly → failure
lost → fail); spill→load round-trip; load keeps newest N; corrupt/truncated spill loads valid + never
panics; missing file no-op.
## Live validation (demo 9201 + hub)
- **fix-3:** `docker stop seerr` → within a cycle the dashboard banner "Telepített alkalmazás nem fut:
Jellyseerr (stopped)" appeared AND the hub logged exactly ONE `app_start_failed` event
(`Event from demo-felhom: app_start_failed`); across 3 down-cycles still ONE event (anti-spam);
`docker start seerr` → the banner self-cleared (0 banners). This makes the campaign's 4-hour silent
death impossible.
- **fix-6:** the ring held 0 periodic-spam lines (TRACE demotion); a controller restart PRESERVED the
pre-restart window — oldest entry unchanged across `systemctl restart` (total 390→464, oldest
08:11:28 both sides), with a 63 KB spill on the persistent SSD data volume (survives container
recreation, never a NAS path).
## CAMPAIGN-3 finding ledger — RESOLVED
| Finding | Fix | Ships in |
|---|---|---|
| F12 (CRIT) boot ordering cycle; F11/F10/F9 (HIGH) automount re-arm; F2/F1 residue | agent boot/recovery plane + appliance self-heal | **agent v0.85.0** |
| F7 (HIGH) in-place volume-dump truncation; F6/F5 (LOW) single-copy + stale dirs | atomic dumps + tier-2 for volume-only + stale sweep | **controller v0.118.0** |
| F8 (MED) storage-health contradiction; F4 (LOW) mapped_uid | share-row classifier fusion + range check | **controller v0.119.0** |
| fix-3 (MED) silent dead app; fix-6 (MED) ring window loss | dead-app alerting + ring cap/spill/spam | **controller v0.120.0** (+ hub v0.48.0) |
CAMPAIGN-3 is closed.
## Standing follow-ups (explicit)
- **Agent-ring persistence** — the agent's own in-memory ring has the same restart-wipe gap; deferred
(this task fixed the CONTROLLER ring only, to avoid an agent train).
- **F13 (HIGH, from Task A)** — an active nfs4 under the mp8 bind can fail PVE's rbind with rc255;
deferred (needs a pre-start idle-unmount design or an idmapped nfs mount).
- **Backup-locality option B** — retarget NAS tier-1 to a local drive (operator chose A/keep locality).
- **The agentless-on-proxmox2 cluster gap** on Peti's box (roadmap).
- **The publish train** — agent 0.85 + controller 0.118/0.119/0.120 + hub 0.48 + MinAgent 0.81 + the
journal-group one-liner + temp-creds deletion delivers this whole wave to Peti (on 0.113 / agent 0.81
today; reaches it at his next train).
## Box state at wrap
controller 0.120.0 healthy on 9201; hub 0.48.0 live (Synced/Healthy); 8 apps healthy; seerr recovered;
debug-ring spill on the SSD data volume; no test residue.
