07-backup-architecture: rewrite as the recovery model (D1-D6); D5 BLOCKED by R-108

Replaces the 2026-07-14 DRAFT entirely - it was verified against controller v0.132.0,
51 versions stale, while being cited as authoritative. Now verified against controller
0.183.0 / agent 0.110.0 / hub 0.80.0 / catalog 4252121. NOT ratified.

Every statement is labelled [DESIGN] (a decision from the architecture discussion) or
[FACT] (file:line, live output, or a citation to _recovery-inventory-2026-07-28.md).

Phase 0 verified D5's premise and it FAILED. Ten read surfaces were checked; nine are
clean (SMB under both namespace shapes, FileBrowser for local drives, .fab import and
download, /api/debug/*, all three ServeFile sites, registering the backup dir as a
drive). One is not: FileBrowser binds a NETWORK share at its ROOT while local drives
are userdata-scoped, and no IsNetwork() filter guards the deploy dropdown, the per-app
migrate targets, or handleStorageMigrateApp. So an app namespace - and under D5 its
plaintext secrets - can land somewhere a browsing surface serves with download:true.
Not a leak today (the unit's app.yaml is secret-stripped); it becomes one under D5.
D5 is therefore written as a BLOCKED target, not as settled. -> R-108

Core artifact is the failure -> recovery matrix (15 rows). RTO cells carry only
measured durations; 12 are blank and each blank is listed explicitly as a finding.
RPO cells carry the configured cadence that bounds RPO, labelled as such - no RPO has
ever been measured from an incident and none is invented.

The 7/53 vs 9/43/1 Tier-2 coverage counts are both recorded, unresolved; neither adopted.

Coupling (S-1): capability map section C now cites the matrix instead of restating
routes; ROADMAP gains R-102..R-108; OPEN-ITEMS gains only the in-flight R-108 plus
C9-F1b/F3/F4 -> R-n cross-references; CONTEXT records D1-D6 as standing ruling S-3.

No code, no version bump, no deploy, no box touched.

| Box survives an **unattended app or guest-network failure** (a dead app member, a boot-orphaned app, a dead DHCP client) — it is noticed, and where safe it is repaired | controller v0.156.0, agent v0.92.1 | **PROVEN-LIVE** (2026-07-21) | All three legs exercised on the live demo box, operator-present, in one session — `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` + `felhom-agent/REPORT.md` (2026-07-21). **Dead primary:** `docker stop immich-server` 12:50:40 CEST → `degraded` 13 s later → **exactly one** `app_start_failed` + dashboard banner → restart → banner self-cleared (the 2026-07-20 shape that was silent for 18 h). **Boot orphan:** `pct reboot 9201``[bootrecon] 1 boot-orphaned app(s) found: [bookstack]` → started in 1 attempt of 2, **zero alerts** (success inside the boot grace is silent); `StartedAt` proves Docker's `unless-stopped` did NOT resurrect it — only the sweep did, which also answers P1 and confirms the F5 hypothesis. **Dead DHCP client:** deliberate replay of the incident — `kill -9` 12:43:18 → detected on process liveness 57 s later while the lease was still live → healed 12:45:18 with the incident's verbatim invocation; **the tunnel never dropped (`cloudflared Up 29 hours`)**, i.e. the outage was prevented rather than merely observed | **The gap this validation surfaced → R-55, now FIXED (controller v0.157.0, 2026-07-21).** For a *drive-backed* app a customer's deliberate Stop did NOT survive a reboot — the boot bind gate recreated and started every deployed drive-backed app unconditionally. Pre-existing, not introduced by R-52 (whose own gate was observed correct). The gate now also requires the app to still HAVE containers, which is R-52's own `existing-Exited vs absent` predicate: a UI Stop is `compose down` and removes them. So **"a stopped app stays stopped" now holds for drive-backed apps too — PROVEN LIVE 2026-07-21** (TASK-F Part 3, operator-present). immich was stopped through the real UI endpoint (`compose down` → 0 containers), calibre-web and bookstack left running, then `pct reboot 9201`: the gate recreated calibre-web and logged `1 drive-backed app(s) left stopped — zero containers means the customer stopped them on purpose`; immich came back **stopped**, where the identical fixture had brought it back running hours earlier. Zero alerts, ~15 s to steady state. The **static-guest** half of the network leg stays deliberately out of scope → **R-50** |
| Crash/power-loss mid-backup/mid-migration → self-heal on next run | controller, agent | **PROVEN-LIVE** | `CAMPAIGN-6D` P5-REST (SIGKILL mid-offbox → auto-restart ~15s, run marked failed not false-success, no stale lock); `CAMPAIGN-6E` B1-B3 | (Cited `CAMPAIGN-2` T-RBT-* legs were empty / auth-hollow — corrected.) Live mid-**migration** crash→self-heal is the weakest sub-claim (P5-REST is mid-backup) |
| An app can be **withdrawn from the catalog without orphaning the customers running it** (available / hidden / abandoned) | controller v0.158.1, catalog metadata | **PROVEN-LIVE** (2026-07-21) | TASK-F Part 1. Verified on 9201 through the real endpoints: `lifecycle: abandoned` arrived via the normal catalog sync; plant-it renders 0 times on the Alkalmazások page (control app renders 10); a direct `POST /api/stacks/plant-it/deploy`**HTTP 409 "Ez az alkalmazás jelenleg nem telepíthető."**; the app page carries the permanent notice and offers no Telepítés button. `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` (2026-07-21) | Deployed instances keep FULL function in every state — lifecycle governs what is offered, never what runs. Orphan detection deliberately never sees the field (red-proofed): a withdrawn template stays in the catalog tree, or every deployed instance would read `Elavult` and be offered deletion. Unknown values fail OPEN; the deploy gate fails CLOSED. R-57 |
| Box survives a **site/network change** (relocation, different subnet, DHCP re-lease) with the control plane intact | agent v0.96.0 (island NIC), host-install v1.19.0, controller (unchanged), bootstrap | **PROVEN-LIVE (2026-07-25)** | **R-50 SHIPPED and deployed to the whole fleet.** The control plane now rides a host-internal, portless island bridge (`vmbr9`, `169.254.253.1/30``.2/30`) with a fixed private address that no LAN/DHCP/site move can invalidate. Proven end-to-end: the spike's F1 replay (renumber the LAN → agent stays bound on the island, control plane HTTP 200; the LAN-literal contrast reproduces the original `bind: cannot assign requested address` daemon-death) + cold-reboot survival (`SPIKE-island-bridge-2026-07-25.md`), the migration runbook run verbatim (`RUNBOOK-island-migration.md`), a fresh provision auto-attaching the island `net1` (A4), and the live migration of **both demo boxes** (demo-hp + demo-felhom, 2026-07-25) — island `/storage` HTTP 200, LAN DNS pinned to the LAN IP (Finding-1), **apps served throughout (0 container restarts)**, hub reporting 0.96.0. **Origin:** `audits/AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20.md` — the real relocation where the agent's LAN-literal bind took storage/PBS/quiesce/restore-test/DR down silently; that is now structurally impossible on a migrated box | **Fleet: DONE.** Remaining: **R-74** — bring the island to Peti's 2-node cluster (SDN vnet / bridge parity), its own supervised runbook. Related historical: R-51 (dead-primary alerting), R-52 (boot desired-state reconciliation), both shipped |

Photos back ≠ clean acceptance. **2026-07-20: H4 closed in controller v0.153.0 (R-47) on BOTH paths, AND THE EVIDENCE RUN HAPPENED.** *(The "closing in v0.149" wording above was wrong — v0.149.0 was the F3 dashboard fix; R-47 shipped in v0.153.0.)* The C6 drill ran end-to-end **through the UI**: photos deleted, **trash emptied**, the full files+database restore pressed on `/backups/restore`, 40 files placed + 1 DB dump replayed rc-0, 11 assets back, no drift, timeline visually confirmed. The method note below is now DEMONSTRATED, not merely written down. Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` 4e. **Residual: the run was performed by the OPERATOR, not by a customer** — for this row literal wording the alpha still owes one genuinely customer-driven pass, but no product gap blocks it. Method note for R-3's script: deleting in an app's own UI usually means *trash*, not deletion, so a drill written that way merges 0 files, flashes success and proves nothing — a real drill must empty the trash **and** verify the app's *content*, not the file count |

Photos back ≠ clean acceptance. **2026-07-20: H4 closed in controller v0.153.0 (R-47) on BOTH paths, AND THE EVIDENCE RUN HAPPENED.** *(The "closing in v0.149" wording above was wrong — v0.149.0 was the F3 dashboard fix; R-47 shipped in v0.153.0.)* The C6 drill ran end-to-end **through the UI**: photos deleted, **trash emptied**, the full files+database restore pressed on `/backups/restore`, 40 files placed + 1 DB dump replayed rc-0, 11 assets back, no drift, timeline visually confirmed. The method note below is now DEMONSTRATED, not merely written down. Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` 4e. **Residual: the run was performed by the OPERATOR, not by a customer** — for this row literal wording the alpha still owes one genuinely customer-driven pass, but no product gap blocks it. Method note for R-3's script: deleting in an app's own UI usually means *trash*, not deletion, so a drill written that way merges 0 files, flashes success and proves nothing — a real drill must empty the trash **and** verify the app's *content*, not the file count **Lane split → `07-backup-architecture.md` §3**: this row is Lane 1 (customer, unassisted). §8 rows 15 are the routes it would exercise |
