drill: a stranger's first hour on 0.242.0 — 1 intervention, not ready for a volunteer
gates / gates (push) Successful in 21s

Golden 0.242.0 baked, round-trip verified and vouched (cadence rule, R-468).
Fresh box from the public ISO on demo-hp: landed on the vouched set, two apps
deployed and used, backup, remove, byte-identical restore, power cut and code
typo all PASS. Stopped for a volunteer by R-493 (no instructions) and R-494
(the setup mail's dashboard link has no DNS; intervention I1). R-493..R-500
filed. Capability map: first-hour row added (PARTIAL), journey row scoped.
Stopgap Hungarian volunteer guide written. Hub teardown layer pending.

# STATUS — what works, what's broken, what's next
**Updated 2026-09-14 (afternoon) — the first-hour drill on a fresh box.**
> **Ready for a volunteer: not yet.** Two things would stop a stranger before their first app: **there
> are no instructions anywhere telling them where the installer is or what to type**, and **the link
> in the "your server started" e-mail does not open for a new customer**, because nobody creates its
> web address automatically. Everything after that point worked.
**What I exercised.** A brand-new machine on the HP, installed from the public installer, connected
to a new test customer, claimed, two apps installed and used (a family wiki with a Hungarian page and
an attachment, and an encrypted note), a manual backup, one app removed with its data, the other
restored after I deleted its page, a power cut, and a mistyped code. The new golden image was built
first, as the weekly rule says, and the fresh box landed on today's release by itself.
**What broke.** Nothing lost data: the restore brought the deleted page back byte for byte, and the
power cut brought every app back on the same version with no false alarm. What a stranger would trip
on: no instructions (I wrote a Hungarian draft for you to approve); the dashboard address; the
installer refusing its own default machine name; the box's screen first telling people, in English, to
open the admin page they must never use; the five-word passphrase that no e-mail ever delivers; one
backup page wrongly saying "already covered, nothing to do"; app pages saying "open wiki.DOMAIN"
literally; and the dashboard showing the backup two hours off from the backup page. I reached the
dashboard once in a way a volunteer could not — that is the single intervention. I fixed nothing; this
run only records.
**Rows.** Opened 8, closed 0. Register table rows: 200 before, 208 after.
**Needs you.** (1) **Decide how a new customer reaches their dashboard**: the hub creates the web
address automatically, or the box offers a home-network address that works with no setup. **If you do
nothing:** every volunteer needs you to create their address by hand before they can log in.
(2) **Read and approve the Hungarian volunteer instructions**, and choose how they are sent. **If you
do nothing:** there is nothing to send a volunteer. (3) **Hand the five-word passphrase to each
volunteer yourself** until an e-mail does it. **If you do nothing:** they cannot connect their box.

**Updated 2026-09-14 (morning note, the second night) — the scratch guest is built, one controller release, the rotation restarted.**
**Decisions I took.** (1) The scratch guest on the HP was built as you ruled: a second guest under
