# DIAGNOSE — offsite restic repo orphaned by a controller-data volume recreate (2026-07-17)
**Status: FIXED** — controller **v0.142.0** (Parts A + C) + hub **v0.60.0** (Part B), 2026-07-17.
Original diagnosis: session `236a92d4`; this note is the incident→fix pointer.
## Incident
Demo 9201 offbox backup failed nightly: `[offbox] backup <app> failed: exit status 1: Fatal: wrong
password or no key found`.
**Root cause.** The `felhom-controller-data` Docker volume was recreated 2026-07-16 (fresh
`encryption.key`, re-provisioned `settings.json`). The offsite repo password is **generate-once**
(`offbox.go` writes it only on `os.IsNotExist`), so with the file gone the offsite re-apply minted a
NEW random passphrase `P_new`. Two destructive facts then compounded:
1. **Controller:** `ensureOffboxRepo` swallowed the wrong-password `cat config` failure (its `init`
fallback saw "config file already exists" → treated as success), so the failure surfaced only as a
raw nightly restic error at the backup step — no state, no operator-actionable signal.
2. **Hub:** `SaveHostEscrow`'s `ON CONFLICT(host_id) DO UPDATE` OVERWROTE the `P_old` escrow blob with
the `P_new` one (`host_escrow.host_id` is the PRIMARY KEY, one row per host). `P_old` was then gone
from the box, the controller, AND escrow → 18 snapshots (Jul 916) cryptographically unrecoverable.
**Manual fix (Viktor GO, 2026-07-17):** `mv felhom-repo felhom-repo.orphaned-20260717` on the box +
`restic init` fresh under `P_new`. Local + Tier-2 backups were never affected (offsite = DR tier only).
## The fix (this incident class is now closed)
- **A (controller v0.142.0):** `ensureOffboxRepo` CLASSIFIES the `cat config` failure
(`wrong password or no key found` → ORPHANED). An orphaned repo → explicit ORPHANED state + a calm
Hungarian card + `offbox_repo_orphaned` event (once, not nightly spam); scheduled runs skip. Reset =
move-aside (`.orphaned-<date>`, never delete) + init: UNCLAIMED auto, CLAIMED reveal-then-confirm.
- **B (hub v0.60.0):** `SaveHostEscrow` RETAINS a superseded (different-sha) blob into
`host_escrow_superseded` before overwriting — so `P_old` stays recoverable with its recovery code.
This turns the incident class from "history destroyed" into "history recoverable with the recovery
code" (the guided recovery flow itself is R-26).
- **C (controller v0.142.0):** the remote-backup page auto-refreshes the run status.
## Still open
- **R-26** — guided old-history recovery via a retained superseded blob + the recovery code (Part B
makes it possible; the flow is not built).
- Product note: fresh-volume provisioning against a pre-existing offsite repo still does not *recover*
the old password unattended (needs R) — it now cleanly SURFACES/RESETS instead of erroring nightly.

| R-26 | **Guided old-history recovery via a retained superseded escrow + the recovery code.** Enabled by hub v0.60.0 (Part B) which now RETAINS superseded escrow blobs (`host_escrow_superseded`, `ListSupersededEscrow`). Build the flow that, given the customer's recovery code, unwraps a retained old blob → recovers the old repo passphrase → mounts/reads the moved-aside `.orphaned-<date>` repo for restore. | M | idea (enabled by v0.60.0) | Turns "history recoverable in principle" into a real customer-drivable path; pairs with the controller v0.142.0 orphaned-repo move-aside. Origin `DIAGNOSE-offbox-repo-orphaned-2026-07-17` |
| R-25 | **Device-node TOCTOU hardening (drive init).** Graduate the controller v0.141.0 Observation: the `format → resolveEnrollUUID(path) → AssignDisk(uuid)` sequence has a narrow /dev-re-enumeration window (agent-guarded on the destructive format via anti-retarget durable-id; benign fs-UUID mount). Bind resolve+assign to the format's durable-id so the mount can't target a moved node. | S | idea | From the v0.141.0 F6 commit's security-review finding (`felhom-controller` REPORT). Low real risk (single-operator, agent-guarded), but cheap to close |
| R-24 | **Guest resources as hub desired-state (live resize).** F5 (host-install v1.17.0) auto-sizes RAM/cores at INSTALL only. Make guest cores/RAM a per-host `pbs_dr`-sibling descriptor field the agent reconciles (`pct set -memory/-cores`), so the operator can right-size a running box from the hub — and land it in seconds via the agent-plane poke (R-13). | M | idea (F5 follow-on) | Follows F5 (`VALIDATION-n100` — appliance auto-size shipped); the live-resize path reuses the desired-state + poke machinery (agent v0.89 / hub v0.59). Would flip a new map row "operator right-sizes a running guest from the hub" |
| R-12 | Cluster mode: agent-follows-guest, bind-mount reconciliation on HA migration | XL | idea | Scoped 07-15; interim = HA-group pin to one node. Driven by Peti's two-node cluster |
| R-13 | OOB management arc: dual-use existing WireGuard + hub desired-state channel as mutual-repair | L | **first slice PROVEN-LIVE (poke channel)** | **FIRST SLICE PROVEN-LIVE — the agent-plane poke channel (Direction-2a), agent v0.89.0 + hub v0.59.0 (2026-07-17):** the ep0-relayed contentless poke (hub→ep0 `felhom-poke` forced-cmd→UDP→box WG /32:51822, peer-confined, zero ep0/box infra change) reaches the **agent** and fires an immediate desired-state cycle. Full path live: real operator manifest save → `sync-poke delivered to 10.77.0.2`; box → `poke received → immediate desired-state cycle` (~31 ms ep0→box, save→tick ≈ ~0.45 s). This is ONLY the listener+sender; the rest of the mutual-repair arc (self-heal actions over the channel) stays open. Per `SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16` P4. The controller-plane Direction-2 wait channel (hub v0.58 / controller v0.140) shipped the config-puller leg separately |
