+# Fleet floor raised to 0.254.0 (2026-09-18, operator asked)
+
+**Before:** `min_controller_version` 0.253.0, `min_agent` 0.131.0.
+**After:** **0.254.0**, `min_agent` **0.131.0** — the value the v0.254.0 CHANGELOG header declares.
+
+The floor is above the vouched golden (0.246.0), so the declaration is what carries it; an undeclared
+floor above the golden is HELD by design (R-472). Agent versions were checked FIRST, because the floor
+is held for a box whose agent is below the requirement: demo-felhom **0.132.0**, demo-hp **0.132.0**.
+
+## What it reached
+
+| customer | before | status | after |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Demo Ügyfél (demo-felhom, N100) | 0.253.0 | ONLINE | **0.254.0**, in ~40 s |
+| Demo HP | 0.254.0 (hand-deployed for the live proof) | ONLINE | unchanged |
+| Peti Proxmox | 0.115.0 | **DOWN, 65 days** | nothing — it takes the floor when it returns |
+| Tester 1 | 0.245.0 | **DOWN, 1 day** | nothing — same |
+
+## Positive observables, both ends
+
+Hub:
+```
+[INFO] Global controller-version floor set to "0.254.0" (declared MinAgent "0.131.0")
+[INFO] managed floor SERVED for demo-felhom: floor 0.254.0, agent requirement "0.131.0"
+       from declared (golden 0.246.0)
+```
+
+The box — which is the half that matters, because the hub SAYS and the box DOES:
+```
+/etc/felhom-controller-image = gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.254.0
+docker ps                    = …:0.254.0  Up 29 seconds (healthy)
+[INFO] [offsite-apply] settle-gate: GO — at/above floor 0.254.0 (we are 0.254.0)
+```
+Its four other containers (traefik, cloudflared, filebrowser, opengist) stayed up across the update.
+
+And the release's own visible change is there on the second box: the sign-in page carries **one**
+language globe and **zero** of the old text links.
+
+## What a reader should NOT conclude
+
+The two DOWN customers have not been tested on 0.254.0 and will take it unattended when they next
+report, from 0.115.0 and 0.245.0. Nobody has carried a box forward from 0.115.0 in one step. That is
+the ordinary consequence of a floor and is not new today — but it is the honest reading of the table.
