 - Found live on 0.176.0 (Tester 1's host page): no button — the agent's host report carries no controller version, so the
   version-gated button never rendered. Every guest of a customer host has it now; the agent refuses a guest it did not
   provision. Test `TestHostPage_RestartRendersForAGuestWithNoReportedVersion` (red on 0.176.0's template).
+- A press through an access token is recorded as `access token "<name>" from <address>` (was „operator CLI (basic auth)"
+  — seen on the live presses). Test `TestOperatorActor_NamesTheAccessToken` (red first).
 
 ## v0.176.0 (2026-10-29) — „Restart controller" and „Clear hold" on the host page (D64 = B); controller_unresponsive (R-1344) — DEPLOYED on the operator's yes (image sha256:53372198…, from `3d0c907b`, CI 2503)
