final walk Phase A + the five checks; R-239 (delivery gap) and R-240 filed
gates / gates (push) Failing after 13m22s

Phase A complete on a NEW venue (demo-hp VM 324, customer finalwalk). Installed
from the published ISO — verified byte-identical to iso.felhom.eu — claimed, app
deployed, three sentinels placed, escrow ceremony 6/6 with restic_pw_sealed=true,
R held in one 0600 file on DooPlex, off-site backup taken and the three sentinels
PROVEN IN THE SNAPSHOT BY NAME (snapshot 1da4f80d, 12.0 MB).

THE HEADLINE: a fresh install lands on agent 0.127.0 (vouched, no hand upgrade —
that half works) and controller 0.203.0, while the newest is 0.205.0. The vouched
golden still bakes 0.203.0, so tonight's box has neither R-237 nor R-234. Filed as
R-239: a delivery gap, not a regression. Every closure claimed for those two is
true of the code and false of the fleet until a golden is baked and vouched.

The five checks, on that box:
  T1 ok + the old bare-count warning (no next step)
  T2 FAILS — both runs say "elindult", the second as a success flash
  T3 FAILS — toggle off hides an existing snapshot; wizard 302s away
  T4 ok, and the wording is still "Sikeres" beside "nothing is selected" -> R-240
  T5 PASSES — driven as a browser does, prepare -> full_prep -> confirm -> commit
     completed; R-238 confirmed a harness artifact, not a product defect

HARNESS FAULT, caught by the §4 gate: the first off-site run reported ok with a
26.6 KB repo — impossible for a 12 MB sentinel. I had placed the files under
.../adatok/felhom-data/userdata/... while this box's namespace root is
/mnt/felhom-drives/adatok directly. The product was correct throughout; proving by
listing rather than by a green status is what caught it before any destruction.

Nothing destroyed. The venue stands.

| **R-237** | **After a successful recovery the customer is shown no backups at all, because the restore surface is keyed on apps that are currently installed and currently marked for future remote backup.** Measured 2026-08-06. Post-rebuild, with the key recovered, the tier configured and the escrow re-sealed, `/backups/restore` said „**Nincs telepített alkalmazás**" and „Nincs távoli mentésre jelölt alkalmazás — a kijelölés a Távoli mentés oldalon történik" — pointing at a page which itself said there were no installed applications. A **circular dead end**: to restore an app you must select it; to select it, it must be installed; to know what to install, you must see the backup you cannot see. Reaching the restore actually required three undocumented steps in order — re-attach the drives, redeploy the app, and toggle it on for **future** remote backups (`/backups/restore/app` refuses with „Ez az alkalmazás nincs távoli mentésre kijelölve", i.e. a *forward-looking* setting gates a *backward-looking* action). None of this is hinted at by the recovery screen, which says „Nincs teendőd". A household that has just lost its box does not know which apps it used to run. | **CLOSED 2026-08-06** — controller v0.204.0: the list is now built from `OffsiteInventoryList` (the repository's own snapshot tags). Installed-ness became a property OF a row, never a filter; an unreadable store renders as UNKNOWN **and keeps the action offered**; `felhom-offbox` and `_shares` are excluded. 7 new tests incl. a rendered-page test for the rebuilt shape, and a red-proof that keys the list back on installed-and-toggled apps. |
| **R-238** | ~~**„Teljes visszaállítás előkészítése" accepts the click and does nothing.**~~ **RECLASSIFIED 2026-08-06 — a HARNESS ARTIFACT, with a real residue that IS fixed.** Measured 2026-08-06, repeatedly. `POST /backup/offbox/restore` with `mode=full` (the exact form the page renders) returns **302**, and then: no job is ever recorded (`/api/backup/restore-status` `last` stays `null` across ~9 minutes of polling), the wizard stays on step 1 „Előkészítés" with the same two forms, no error is shown to the customer, and **the controller's own debug ring contains no line for it at all** — zero `offbox`, `prepare` or `snapshot` entries. `mode=unit` on the identical form works and reports properly, so the plumbing and the session are fine. This is the terminal dead end of the recovery journey: everything upstream succeeded — code accepted, key recovered, tier configured, escrow re-sealed, drives re-attached, app redeployed — and the customer still cannot get their files back. **PASS for the R-201 re-walk was defined as a sentinel's sha256 byte-identical after recovery; this is why that criterion was NOT met.** **The diagnosis** (`restore_wizard.go`, `offbox_handlers.go:314`): `mode=full` without `confirm=1` is **step 1 of a deliberate two-step** — it computes size + headroom, **starts no job by design**, and redirects carrying `&full_prep=<app>&full_size=<size>`. `deriveWizardStep` reveals the commit **only** when `FullPrepApp == App`. The endpoint driver posted step 1 and re-fetched the wizard **without** that parameter, so the pure function correctly returned the intent step, and `restore-status.last == null` was correct too. **The operator drove the same restore to completion in a browser.** The wizard was NOT re-keyed. **The residue was real and is fixed in controller v0.204.0:** neither branch of step 1 wrote anything to the log — `offboxRedirectTo` only flashes to the page — so a refusal, **including by the headroom gate**, left no trace on the box. Both branches now log, as does the concurrent-op refusal; pinned by a handler-level test with a red-proof. | **CLOSED 2026-08-06** — controller v0.204.0 |
| **R-239** | **The fixes are written, tested, pushed — and a machine installed tonight gets none of them.** Measured on the final walk (2026-08-07, `tests/finalwalk-r201-2026-08-07/journal.md`): a fresh install from the published ISO landed on agent **0.127.0** (vouched, **no hand upgrade** — that half works) and controller **0.203.0**, while the newest released controller is **0.205.0**. The vouched golden still bakes 0.203.0, so a new box has neither **R-237** (v0.204.0 — the restore list driven by the store) nor **R-234** (v0.205.0 — the skipped-app verdict and the single-flight message). **Proven from the customer's side on that box, not inferred:** T3 — with the future-backup toggle switched off, the restore page showed **0** entries for an app whose snapshot demonstrably exists, and the wizard redirected away; T2 — two off-site runs back to back both answered „A távoli mentés elindult", the second as a SUCCESS flash, which is exactly the sequence that made a customer read a stale green tick as covering an app they had just selected. **Not a regression and not a code defect — a delivery gap.** The remedy is already documented: bake a golden carrying the current controller and vouch it as a three-field change (`golden_version` + `agent_version` + `min_agent`), per `runbooks/RUNBOOK-manual-build.md` §4.1. **Until that happens, every closure claimed for R-234 and R-237 is true of the code and false of the fleet** — which is the distinction this register exists to keep. | **READY** — owner Viktor |
| **R-240** | **A backup that covered nothing calls itself „Sikeres".** On a configured box with no app selected for off-site backup, a run reports status `ok` with the warning „Sikeres — nincs mentésre jelölt alkalmazás" — *successful* immediately beside *nothing is selected*. Measured as T4 on the final walk, 2026-08-07; flagged once before (2026-08-06) and deliberately not touched then, because the task that noticed it forbade changing that path. **It is the same rhetorical shape the project has spent a fortnight removing** — R-203's *a warning beside a success is read as a success*, R-234's *„✓ Rendben" over an app that was skipped*, R-225's *unknown rendered as zero* — one notch weaker each time, and this is the weakest and last of them. The state itself is honest and must stay `ok`: an unconfigured box reporting `incomplete` forever is its own defect, pinned by a test. **The defect is the word „Sikeres", not the verdict.** Wording such as „Nincs mentésre jelölt alkalmazás — ez a futás semmit nem mentett" says the same thing without congratulating the customer on it. | **READY** — owner Viktor |
