R-201 re-walk: the data PASSES again, the journey still FAILS — two dead ends, down from four
gates / gates (push) Successful in 9s

Asked Campaign 11 Phase 1's question a second time, on the fixed build, on a
NEW appliance (VM 322, customer rewalk). The Campaign 11 venue was untouched.

THE DATA: PASS. All three sentinels byte-identical out of the pre-destruction
snapshot a7bc23bd in 23s through the customer's own restore flow — including a
12 MB binary and an accented Hungarian filename whose NAME BYTES are identical
too (verified as hex, not as rendered text).

THE JOURNEY: FAIL, two dead ends against Phase 1's four.
 1. R-218's CONSUME half. The hub re-staged the credential at 11:44:57 saying
    'the box re-consumes on its next cycle'; a full cycle ran at 11:55:46/54
    (with a positive control that it ran) and it did not. A census of the
    customer-reachable actions found none that fetches it. Only a command line
    INSIDE THE GUEST moved it — 18s, confirming nothing was wrong with the
    credential, target or key: only the trigger. R-218's row said SHIPPED and
    over-claimed; it is corrected to REOPENED for the consume half.
 2. R-220. Drives still unenrollable after a rebuild, needing a Proxmox-host
    unmount; without it no app redeploys and the restore page stays empty.

Unaided RTO STILL UNDEFINED. Attended: +45s key placed, +24m12s tier up,
+30m13s data verified. The 30m must not be quoted as the customer number.

What passed and is new: the recovery screen appeared WITHOUT being sought,
answered all three questions with a seal date matching the hub exactly, the
emailed reset code worked first try, the unlock was a real 1.528s unseal, and
R-225's fix was seen working in the wild (unknown, not a false zero).

R-216 part 4 reproduced live: the reinstall downgraded the hand-installed agent
0.126.0 -> 0.125.0.

DELIVERY GAP recorded as owed and NOT conflated with the journey: a fresh
install landed on controller 0.201.0 / agent 0.125.0 — the vouched versions,
neither carrying the fixes — installed by hand. Nothing was vouched.

Capability map row STAYS FAIL. Campaign 11 doc gets a dated ADDENDUM, not a
rewrite.
