 **WHAT IS STILL NOT CLAIMED:** the FAILURE path is where this class is weak, not the success path — a corrupt dump leaves the customer with an emptied or partially-applied database and an undo copy **no product action can apply** (**R-379**), and on MariaDB it does so behind an app that reports `health=healthy` (**R-380**). The success story is proven; the recovery-from-a-bad-restore story is not.
 
 **NARROWED 2026-08-21 by the backup-truth drill — kept as history; both halves have since closed, see the entry immediately above.** Proven that night on `demo-hp` with planted, hash-recorded files: the **declared-userdata** leg of a **drive-declaring** app does come back byte-identical (`calibre-web`, 5/5 including two Hungarian accented filenames). **Two legs of the same story do NOT:** (a) the off-site restore has **no named-volume leg at all**, so an app's volume tar sits in the unit, in the snapshot and in the checking folder and is never replayed (**R-354**); (b) for the **40 of 53** apps that declare no data drive the off-site restore **refuses outright**, saying a running app „nincs telepítve" (**R-356**). Since the 40-class keeps ALL its data in named volumes, the end-to-end story is **unproven for that class and disproven for the volume leg generally**. The escrow/key half of this row is untouched by that and still stands. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-backup-truth-2026-08-21/evidence/` and `REPORT.md` (2026-08-21). |

Evidence: `audits/CAMPAIGN-11-recovery-journey-2026-08-05.md`, `tests/campaign11-evidence-2026-08-05/journal-phase24.md`  **2026-08-06 — THE FIVE PHASE-2 FINDINGS ARE FIXED AND THIS ROW STILL SAYS FAIL.** controller **v0.202.0** + agent **v0.126.0** close R-224, R-226, R-225, R-227, R-228. **What changed:** the unlock path now classifies WHY it failed, from the value and never the text, and the message that mentions typing is reachable from exactly one class — a real refusal — with **unknown defaulting to neutral**. Proven live on the venue with the same wrong code and only the hub's reachability changed: `400 → 502 → 400`. **What it does NOT change: this row.** Fixes are not a journey; nothing here walked a customer end to end, and three of the blockers that made Phase 1 fail are still open (**R-220** in particular is worked around BY HAND on the venue — without that unmount no app can be deployed on a rebuilt box). **What still needs proving:** a re-walk with no operator intervention, and specifically the customer-facing messages end-to-end — they were NOT re-driven, because `/recovery` correctly retires itself once the old data is set aside and restoring that state would be the reconfiguration the fix task forbade. Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md`  **⚠ THE RE-WALK RAN 2026-08-06 (R-201, attended) AND THIS ROW STAYS FAIL — but it is a nearer no.** A brand-new appliance was built from the published ISO, given three sentinels, escrowed, backed up off-site, destroyed (guest purged AND both drives wiped), reinstalled and walked. **THE DATA: PASS** — all three sentinels byte-identical, including a 12 MB binary and an accented Hungarian filename **whose NAME BYTES are also identical**, restored in **23 s** out of the pre-destruction snapshot through the customer's own flow. **THE JOURNEY: FAIL — TWO dead ends against Phase 1's four.** (1) **R-218's CONSUME half**: the hub re-staged the credential and said "the box re-consumes on its next cycle"; a full cycle ran (positive control) and it did not — no customer-reachable action fetches it, and the only lever is a command line INSIDE THE GUEST. (2) **R-220**: the drives are still unenrollable after a rebuild, needing a Proxmox-host unmount, without which no app can be redeployed and the restore page stays empty. **The unaided RTO is therefore STILL UNDEFINED**; the attended figure was 30 m 13 s and must not be quoted as the customer number. **What passed and is new:** the recovery screen appeared WITHOUT being sought, answered all three of its questions with a seal date matching the hub exactly, the emailed reset code worked first try, and the unlock was a real 1.528 s unseal that placed the key. **⚠ AND IT DOES NOT CLAIM DELIVERY:** the fresh install landed on controller 0.201.0 / agent 0.125.0 — the vouched versions, neither carrying the fixes — which were installed BY HAND. Fleet delivery needs a golden carrying the fixed controller and a vouched agent, and nothing was vouched. Evidence: `tests/rewalk-r201-2026-08-06/journal.md`   **⚠ 2026-08-06 (later the same day) — THE TWO DEAD ENDS ARE CLOSED AND VOUCHED, AND THIS ROW STILL SAYS FAIL.** controller **v0.203.0** + agent **v0.127.0** close **R-218's consume half** and **R-220**, and golden **0.203.0** / agent **0.127.0** / `min_agent` **0.127.0** are now VOUCHED — so the delivery gap the re-walk recorded (“the fresh install landed on versions neither carrying the fixes”) is gone. **Both were then proven live on a genuinely rebuilt box** (Part 4 venue, VM 323): the reinstall landed on agent 0.127.0 with **no downgrade and no hand upgrade** (the previous re-walk's reinstall downgraded 0.126.0→0.125.0), `/disks/candidates` returned **both drives** after the guest was purged with the raw mounts still on the surviving host — before the fix, two empty lists — and both **re-attached through the customer endpoint**; the off-site credential was re-staged by `offsiteheal` at 13:24:57Z and **collected by the box on a tick, unaided**. **Why the row is still FAIL:** the walk did not finish. It stopped at the restore surface — **R-237**, the list was keyed on apps that are currently INSTALLED and currently TOGGLED ON for future backups, so a rebuilt box was shown nothing to restore while the repository held its snapshots. Fixed in **controller v0.204.0** (the store is now the source of the list) and proven live on that same venue with the toggle switched OFF, but **no sentinel was restored in that walk**, so the data half is unproven in EITHER direction for this venue. **R-238 was RECLASSIFIED, not fixed as filed:** `mode=full` without `confirm=1` is step 1 of a deliberate two-step that starts no job by design; the endpoint driver did not carry `?full_prep=` forward. The operator drove the same restore to completion in a browser. Its real residue — that step logging nothing at all, including when the headroom gate refuses — is fixed. **R-236 was WITHDRAWN: not a defect.** **This row goes green only when a walk completes end to end with no operator intervention, restoring a byte-identical sentinel.** Evidence: `tests/part4-rewalk-2026-08-06/journal.md`, `tests/teardown-2026-08-06.md`, `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` **⚠ THE FINAL WALK RAN OVERNIGHT 2026-08-06/07 AND THIS ROW STAYS FAIL — the data half passed again, the journey half failed further from the line than before.** A brand-new appliance was built from the published ISO, fixtured, soaked through a real scheduled cycle, destroyed and rebuilt. **THE DATA: PASS** — all three sentinels byte-identical out of snapshot `f5c53b03`, including a 12 MB binary and an accented Hungarian filename **whose name BYTES are identical too**. **THE JOURNEY: FAIL, and this time the customer has NO route at all** — `/` lands on the launcher with no recovery pointer, `/recovery` **302s away**, and the remote-backup page offers to **CREATE a new recovery code**, which would orphan the very history the customer's code protects. **There is no field anywhere to enter the code they hold**, and the operator's documented remedy refuses too. Cause (**R-241**): the credential self-heal — proven working unaided in the same walk, six hours earlier, as its best result — writes a FRESH repository password, which moves the box out of `OffsiteRecoveryOffer()`'s (a) pristine case while (b) orphan-detected is unreachable because runs are blocked by `escrow_state: pending`. **R-218's shape one level up.** **What DID pass, and is new:** the whole credential chain ran end to end with zero human action on an unclaimed box — declare, `offsiteheal` re-stages after two reports, the box's 5-minute retry collects it, tier applied — the **first live sighting** of that success line, settling R-218's consume half and R-236's withdrawal. Also new: **R-239** — a fresh install lands on controller **0.203.0** while 0.205.0 is released, so R-234 and R-237 are written but **not delivered**, proven from the customer's side (T2, T3). **This row goes green only when a walk completes with no operator intervention AND a byte-identical sentinel.** Evidence: `tests/finalwalk-r201-2026-08-07/journal.md` **⚠ 2026-08-07 — R-241 WAS DIAGNOSED BY A READ-ONLY SPIKE ON THE STANDING VENUE, AND THE DIAGNOSIS REVERSES THE FIX. This row is unchanged: still FAIL, and no code was written.** The question was whether R-241 is a screen-predicate defect or a minting defect. **It is a MINTING defect.** The screen was telling the truth — there genuinely was nothing recoverable under the key the box held, because the box minted that key itself over the top of a sealed package it already knew the hub was holding. **Three measurements, from the venue rather than from the earlier report:** (1) `WriteOffboxSecrets` (`offbox.go:411`) mints on ONE input — does the file exist — while `OffsiteRecoveryOffer()` and `needsOffsiteCredential()`, both in the same file, consult `GetHubEscrowIdentityPresent()`; the same fact is available on three paths and used on two. (2) That flag was the **precondition of the chain that reached the minting**: the retry job logs only when the declaration is live, and the venue logged `credential retry: … (the box still declares a need; retrying)` at **02:48:03Z** — thirty minutes and six ticks before the mint at 03:18:06Z. (3) **The box computed the answer and discarded it**: at **03:28:03Z**, thirty-five minutes before the customer looked, `EscrowAutoConfirmer.Reconcile` (`escrow_confirm.go:154`) logged `the hub's escrow blob does not cover the CURRENT repo password (hub hash 30ef574fe492… != local 9b4a9a9dcec7…)`. It is recomputed every report cycle and never persisted. **And the hub explicitly disclaims doing this** — `offsiteheal`'s package doc: *"credential automatic, key customer-present — the ruling this session implements and must not quietly widen."* **Shape (b) is structurally unreachable on this box** (the escrow gate at `offbox.go:743` sits upstream of `ensureOffboxRepo`, the only producer of `RepoState="orphaned"`; positive control: the scheduler was alive, 241 `agent-channel-health` ticks, and `offbox-backup` is a `sched.Daily` leg whose slot fell before the destruction). **Two by-products:** **R-243** — a box in this state silently stops backing up off-site and **no alarm fires** (`isStale` requires `escrowed`, `offsite_delivery_stuck` skips the `applied` shape, `backup_failed` needs a run that never happens); and the trap in the obvious fix — `ResetOrphanedRepo` clears the orphan flag without a ceremony, so a hash-mismatch discriminator alone would re-offer the screen forever to a customer who declined the old data. **Q7:** the „Helyreállítási kód létrehozása" button does NOT destroy the data — R-198's retention copies the `identity_blob` — but it converts a self-service recovery into one needing an unbuilt read path (R-199), and it re-enables the screen while invalidating the code that screen accepts. Evidence: `audits/SPIKE-r241-recovery-offer-2026-08-07.md` **⚠ 2026-08-07 (later) — R-241 IS FIXED (controller v0.206.0 + hub v0.98.0) AND THIS ROW STILL SAYS FAIL.** Three changes, following the spike's ruling rather than the obvious reading: the box **no longer mints a repository key while the hub holds a sealed package** (a conjunction, so a first-time box is untouched; the refusal is a HOLDING state that still writes the transport, declared as `offsite.state=awaiting_recovery_key` and shown inert to every existing hub reader); the **hub-vs-local key comparison that was computed every cycle and discarded is now persisted** and drives the offer as **shape (c)**; and **abandoning starts a 14-day countdown** whose terminal step removes the set-aside store and the sealed package **together**, so the offer ends because the state is right rather than because a flag suppresses it. Surface: the full page appears **once per ENTRY into the offered state**, three dismissal levers with three scopes, and **none removes the entry point**. Q7's trap is closed — „Helyreállítási kód létrehozása" is **unavailable** while a recovery is outstanding. **WHY THE ROW STAYS FAIL: these are fixes, not a walk.** Nothing here walked a customer end to end, and this row goes green only when one completes with **no operator intervention AND a byte-identical sentinel**. Two of Phase 1's blockers are also still open (**R-214**, **R-202**), and **R-240** is untouched. Evidence: `felhom-controller/CHANGELOG.md` v0.206.0, `hub/CHANGELOG.md` v0.98.0. **DELIVERY, separately: R-239 is CLOSED 2026-08-07** — golden **0.205.0** baked, published, round-trip verified (`./etc/felhom-controller-image` read OUT of the downloaded archive) and **VOUCHED**, so a fresh install now lands on 0.205.0 carrying R-234 and R-237. In the event it was a ONE-field change: `agent_version` and `min_agent` both stayed 0.127.0. Evidence: `tests/golden-0.205.0-2026-08-07/`. **The row still says FAIL** — delivery is not a journey, and R-241 is diagnosed, not fixed. **✅ 2026-08-07 — THE FIFTH WALK PASSED, BOTH HALVES, AND THIS ROW TURNS.** A brand-new appliance (VM **325**, customer `walk5`) was installed from the published ISO on `demo-hp`, claimed, given three sentinels, escrowed, backed up off-site, then **destroyed on purpose** — guest purged, both data drives wiped — and rebuilt through the documented day-0 path. **THE DATA: PASS** — all three sentinels byte-identical out of snapshot `5b0f20f7` (`11eb7fb2…`, `6b504d1e…`, `0baaf402…`), including a 12 MB binary and `WALK5-őrszem-ékezetes-árvíztűrő.txt` **whose name BYTES are identical too**, read back with `os.listdir` on a bytes path so no decode round trip could launder a `U+FFFD`. **THE JOURNEY: PASS — ZERO guest command lines were needed to progress**, against three on the previous walk. **RTO 71.7 s** from login to an open store (12.44 s of it the unseal; ~22 s a harness retry). The recovery screen **appeared without being sought** (`/` → `/launcher` → `/recovery`), answered all three of its questions, and its sealed-at timestamp matched `host_escrow.created_at` exactly. **WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE — R-241's mint guard, exercised live for the first time:** at **14:58:52Z**, unaided and before anyone logged in, the rebuilt box collected its re-staged credential, configured the transport and **refused to mint a repository password** over the sealed package — `NOT minting a repository password: the hub holds a sealed recovery package for this box`. Sampled every 20 s from T0: **no key at any moment**, with the scheduler proven alive throughout. At the equivalent moment the previous walk minted one and lost the journey silently. **AND DELIVERY IS PART OF THE PASS:** the fresh install landed on **controller 0.206.0 + agent 0.127.0 — the vouched set, no hand upgrade**, both times, so the box under test is the box a customer receives. **WHAT THIS ROW STILL DOES NOT CLAIM.** (1) **Putting files back in place is built and worked here** — `reconstitute` placed 6 files — but **only after two obstacles the customer must guess past**: **R-252** (the restore refuses with „nincs elérhető adatmeghajtó" because a rebuild loses the drive *registration*, and nothing on the recovery path says to re-attach) and **R-253** (the restore refuses because the app is not installed, on a page that says three lines above that the restore reinstalls it). Both were cleared **from the dashboard with no shell** — which is why the journey passes — but neither is signposted, so *unaided* here means *possible without a shell*, not *obvious*. (2) **Shape (c) did NOT fire positively.** With the mint guard holding there is no local key, so the offer comes from **shape (a)**; shape (c) was measured in Phase A in its **negative** half (hub hash == local hash, correctly silent). The mint guard is proven positively; the discriminator only negatively. (3) **R-214, R-202 and R-240 are untouched.** (4) The venue is **torn down** (2026-08-08) — full-schema census 168 rows → 67, of which 37 are audit-by-design and **30 are R-244**, predicted before the run rather than found after; every layer verified absent against a surviving positive control, and **16.64 GiB** returned. `tests/walk5-r201-2026-08-07/teardown-walk5-2026-08-08.md`. Evidence: `tests/walk5-r201-2026-08-07/journal.md` **SCOPE NOTE 2026-09-14 — not re-walked.** The first-hour drill on 0.242.0 (`audits/DRILL-fresh-install-0242-2026-09-14.md`) walked install → first use → restore of a deleted page on a fresh box, NOT a rebuild with off-site recovery (DR tier and off-site were off). This row is therefore neither re-proven nor contradicted on 0.242.0; its PROVEN-LIVE stands on 0.206.0 only. The first hour has its own row below. |

(2) **R-220**: the drives are still unenrollable after a rebuild, needing a Proxmox-host unmount, without which no app can be redeployed and the restore page stays empty. **The unaided RTO is therefore STILL UNDEFINED**; the attended figure was 30 m 13 s and must not be quoted as the customer number. **What passed and is new:** the recovery screen appeared WITHOUT being sought, answered all three of its questions with a seal date matching the hub exactly, the emailed reset code worked first try, and the unlock was a real 1.528 s unseal that placed the key. **⚠ AND IT DOES NOT CLAIM DELIVERY:** the fresh install landed on controller 0.201.0 / agent 0.125.0 — the vouched versions, neither carrying the fixes — which were installed BY HAND. Fleet delivery needs a golden carrying the fixed controller and a vouched agent, and nothing was vouched. Evidence: `tests/rewalk-r201-2026-08-06/journal.md`   **⚠ 2026-08-06 (later the same day) — THE TWO DEAD ENDS ARE CLOSED AND VOUCHED, AND THIS ROW STILL SAYS FAIL.** controller **v0.203.0** + agent **v0.127.0** close **R-218's consume half** and **R-220**, and golden **0.203.0** / agent **0.127.0** / `min_agent` **0.127.0** are now VOUCHED — so the delivery gap the re-walk recorded (“the fresh install landed on versions neither carrying the fixes”) is gone. **Both were then proven live on a genuinely rebuilt box** (Part 4 venue, VM 323): the reinstall landed on agent 0.127.0 with **no downgrade and no hand upgrade** (the previous re-walk's reinstall downgraded 0.126.0→0.125.0), `/disks/candidates` returned **both drives** after the guest was purged with the raw mounts still on the surviving host — before the fix, two empty lists — and both **re-attached through the customer endpoint**; the off-site credential was re-staged by `offsiteheal` at 13:24:57Z and **collected by the box on a tick, unaided**. **Why the row is still FAIL:** the walk did not finish. It stopped at the restore surface — **R-237**, the list was keyed on apps that are currently INSTALLED and currently TOGGLED ON for future backups, so a rebuilt box was shown nothing to restore while the repository held its snapshots. Fixed in **controller v0.204.0** (the store is now the source of the list) and proven live on that same venue with the toggle switched OFF, but **no sentinel was restored in that walk**, so the data half is unproven in EITHER direction for this venue. **R-238 was RECLASSIFIED, not fixed as filed:** `mode=full` without `confirm=1` is step 1 of a deliberate two-step that starts no job by design; the endpoint driver did not carry `?full_prep=` forward. The operator drove the same restore to completion in a browser. Its real residue — that step logging nothing at all, including when the headroom gate refuses — is fixed. **R-236 was WITHDRAWN: not a defect.** **This row goes green only when a walk completes end to end with no operator intervention, restoring a byte-identical sentinel.** Evidence: `tests/part4-rewalk-2026-08-06/journal.md`, `tests/teardown-2026-08-06.md`, `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` **⚠ THE FINAL WALK RAN OVERNIGHT 2026-08-06/07 AND THIS ROW STAYS FAIL — the data half passed again, the journey half failed further from the line than before.** A brand-new appliance was built from the published ISO, fixtured, soaked through a real scheduled cycle, destroyed and rebuilt. **THE DATA: PASS** — all three sentinels byte-identical out of snapshot `f5c53b03`, including a 12 MB binary and an accented Hungarian filename **whose name BYTES are identical too**. **THE JOURNEY: FAIL, and this time the customer has NO route at all** — `/` lands on the launcher with no recovery pointer, `/recovery` **302s away**, and the remote-backup page offers to **CREATE a new recovery code**, which would orphan the very history the customer's code protects. **There is no field anywhere to enter the code they hold**, and the operator's documented remedy refuses too. Cause (**R-241**): the credential self-heal — proven working unaided in the same walk, six hours earlier, as its best result — writes a FRESH repository password, which moves the box out of `OffsiteRecoveryOffer()`'s (a) pristine case while (b) orphan-detected is unreachable because runs are blocked by `escrow_state: pending`. **R-218's shape one level up.** **What DID pass, and is new:** the whole credential chain ran end to end with zero human action on an unclaimed box — declare, `offsiteheal` re-stages after two reports, the box's 5-minute retry collects it, tier applied — the **first live sighting** of that success line, settling R-218's consume half and R-236's withdrawal. Also new: **R-239** — a fresh install lands on controller **0.203.0** while 0.205.0 is released, so R-234 and R-237 are written but **not delivered**, proven from the customer's side (T2, T3). **This row goes green only when a walk completes with no operator intervention AND a byte-identical sentinel.** Evidence: `tests/finalwalk-r201-2026-08-07/journal.md` **⚠ 2026-08-07 — R-241 WAS DIAGNOSED BY A READ-ONLY SPIKE ON THE STANDING VENUE, AND THE DIAGNOSIS REVERSES THE FIX. This row is unchanged: still FAIL, and no code was written.** The question was whether R-241 is a screen-predicate defect or a minting defect. **It is a MINTING defect.** The screen was telling the truth — there genuinely was nothing recoverable under the key the box held, because the box minted that key itself over the top of a sealed package it already knew the hub was holding. **Three measurements, from the venue rather than from the earlier report:** (1) `WriteOffboxSecrets` (`offbox.go:411`) mints on ONE input — does the file exist — while `OffsiteRecoveryOffer()` and `needsOffsiteCredential()`, both in the same file, consult `GetHubEscrowIdentityPresent()`; the same fact is available on three paths and used on two. (2) That flag was the **precondition of the chain that reached the minting**: the retry job logs only when the declaration is live, and the venue logged `credential retry: … (the box still declares a need; retrying)` at **02:48:03Z** — thirty minutes and six ticks before the mint at 03:18:06Z. (3) **The box computed the answer and discarded it**: at **03:28:03Z**, thirty-five minutes before the customer looked, `EscrowAutoConfirmer.Reconcile` (`escrow_confirm.go:154`) logged `the hub's escrow blob does not cover the CURRENT repo password (hub hash 30ef574fe492… != local 9b4a9a9dcec7…)`. It is recomputed every report cycle and never persisted. **And the hub explicitly disclaims doing this** — `offsiteheal`'s package doc: *"credential automatic, key customer-present — the ruling this session implements and must not quietly widen."* **Shape (b) is structurally unreachable on this box** (the escrow gate at `offbox.go:743` sits upstream of `ensureOffboxRepo`, the only producer of `RepoState="orphaned"`; positive control: the scheduler was alive, 241 `agent-channel-health` ticks, and `offbox-backup` is a `sched.Daily` leg whose slot fell before the destruction). **Two by-products:** **R-243** — a box in this state silently stops backing up off-site and **no alarm fires** (`isStale` requires `escrowed`, `offsite_delivery_stuck` skips the `applied` shape, `backup_failed` needs a run that never happens); and the trap in the obvious fix — `ResetOrphanedRepo` clears the orphan flag without a ceremony, so a hash-mismatch discriminator alone would re-offer the screen forever to a customer who declined the old data. **Q7:** the „Helyreállítási kód létrehozása" button does NOT destroy the data — R-198's retention copies the `identity_blob` — but it converts a self-service recovery into one needing an unbuilt read path (R-199), and it re-enables the screen while invalidating the code that screen accepts. Evidence: `audits/SPIKE-r241-recovery-offer-2026-08-07.md` **⚠ 2026-08-07 (later) — R-241 IS FIXED (controller v0.206.0 + hub v0.98.0) AND THIS ROW STILL SAYS FAIL.** Three changes, following the spike's ruling rather than the obvious reading: the box **no longer mints a repository key while the hub holds a sealed package** (a conjunction, so a first-time box is untouched; the refusal is a HOLDING state that still writes the transport, declared as `offsite.state=awaiting_recovery_key` and shown inert to every existing hub reader); the **hub-vs-local key comparison that was computed every cycle and discarded is now persisted** and drives the offer as **shape (c)**; and **abandoning starts a 14-day countdown** whose terminal step removes the set-aside store and the sealed package **together**, so the offer ends because the state is right rather than because a flag suppresses it. Surface: the full page appears **once per ENTRY into the offered state**, three dismissal levers with three scopes, and **none removes the entry point**. Q7's trap is closed — „Helyreállítási kód létrehozása" is **unavailable** while a recovery is outstanding. **WHY THE ROW STAYS FAIL: these are fixes, not a walk.** Nothing here walked a customer end to end, and this row goes green only when one completes with **no operator intervention AND a byte-identical sentinel**. Two of Phase 1's blockers are also still open (**R-214**, **R-202**), and **R-240** is untouched. Evidence: `felhom-controller/CHANGELOG.md` v0.206.0, `hub/CHANGELOG.md` v0.98.0. **DELIVERY, separately: R-239 is CLOSED 2026-08-07** — golden **0.205.0** baked, published, round-trip verified (`./etc/felhom-controller-image` read OUT of the downloaded archive) and **VOUCHED**, so a fresh install now lands on 0.205.0 carrying R-234 and R-237. In the event it was a ONE-field change: `agent_version` and `min_agent` both stayed 0.127.0. Evidence: `tests/golden-0.205.0-2026-08-07/`. **The row still says FAIL** — delivery is not a journey, and R-241 is diagnosed, not fixed. **✅ 2026-08-07 — THE FIFTH WALK PASSED, BOTH HALVES, AND THIS ROW TURNS.** A brand-new appliance (VM **325**, customer `walk5`) was installed from the published ISO on `demo-hp`, claimed, given three sentinels, escrowed, backed up off-site, then **destroyed on purpose** — guest purged, both data drives wiped — and rebuilt through the documented day-0 path. **THE DATA: PASS** — all three sentinels byte-identical out of snapshot `5b0f20f7` (`11eb7fb2…`, `6b504d1e…`, `0baaf402…`), including a 12 MB binary and `WALK5-őrszem-ékezetes-árvíztűrő.txt` **whose name BYTES are identical too**, read back with `os.listdir` on a bytes path so no decode round trip could launder a `U+FFFD`. **THE JOURNEY: PASS — ZERO guest command lines were needed to progress**, against three on the previous walk. **RTO 71.7 s** from login to an open store (12.44 s of it the unseal; ~22 s a harness retry). The recovery screen **appeared without being sought** (`/` → `/launcher` → `/recovery`), answered all three of its questions, and its sealed-at timestamp matched `host_escrow.created_at` exactly. **WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE — R-241's mint guard, exercised live for the first time:** at **14:58:52Z**, unaided and before anyone logged in, the rebuilt box collected its re-staged credential, configured the transport and **refused to mint a repository password** over the sealed package — `NOT minting a repository password: the hub holds a sealed recovery package for this box`. Sampled every 20 s from T0: **no key at any moment**, with the scheduler proven alive throughout. At the equivalent moment the previous walk minted one and lost the journey silently. **AND DELIVERY IS PART OF THE PASS:** the fresh install landed on **controller 0.206.0 + agent 0.127.0 — the vouched set, no hand upgrade**, both times, so the box under test is the box a customer receives. **WHAT THIS ROW STILL DOES NOT CLAIM.** (1) **Putting files back in place is built and worked here** — `reconstitute` placed 6 files — but **only after two obstacles the customer must guess past**: **R-252** (the restore refuses with „nincs elérhető adatmeghajtó" because a rebuild loses the drive *registration*, and nothing on the recovery path says to re-attach) and **R-253** (the restore refuses because the app is not installed, on a page that says three lines above that the restore reinstalls it). Both were cleared **from the dashboard with no shell** — which is why the journey passes — but neither is signposted, so *unaided* here means *possible without a shell*, not *obvious*. (2) **Shape (c) did NOT fire positively.** With the mint guard holding there is no local key, so the offer comes from **shape (a)**; shape (c) was measured in Phase A in its **negative** half (hub hash == local hash, correctly silent). The mint guard is proven positively; the discriminator only negatively. (3) **R-214, R-202 and R-240 are untouched.** (4) The venue is **torn down** (2026-08-08) — full-schema census 168 rows → 67, of which 37 are audit-by-design and **30 are R-244**, predicted before the run rather than found after; every layer verified absent against a surviving positive control, and **16.64 GiB** returned. `tests/walk5-r201-2026-08-07/teardown-walk5-2026-08-08.md`. Evidence: `tests/walk5-r201-2026-08-07/journal.md` **SCOPE NOTE 2026-09-14 — not re-walked.** The first-hour drill on 0.242.0 (`audits/DRILL-fresh-install-0242-2026-09-14.md`) walked install → first use → restore of a deleted page on a fresh box, NOT a rebuild with off-site recovery (DR tier and off-site were off). This row is therefore neither re-proven nor contradicted on 0.242.0; its PROVEN-LIVE stands on 0.206.0 only. The first hour has its own row below. **SCOPE NOTE 2026-09-17 — not re-walked, and this time it could not be.** Chaos night (`audits/DRILL-chaos-night-2026-09-17.md`) ran twelve rounds of household actions under injected accidents on a fresh 0.245.0 box and **did not walk the recovery journey at all**. It could not have: the box was a REBUILD for an existing customer, so its restic repository was orphaned by design — zero readable snapshots, confirmed independently by `restic` (`Fatal: wrong password or no key found`, exit 1) and by the product's own status (`orphaned:true, snapshots:0, status:"error"`). The product surfaced that honestly as a true alarm within seconds of the first off-site run. This row is therefore **neither re-proven nor contradicted on 0.245.0**; its PROVEN-LIVE still stands on 0.206.0 only. |
+| **A random night of household actions while random things go wrong — twelve rounds, unattended** | controller v0.245.0, agent v0.131.0, hub v0.116.0, golden 0.245.0, ISO 1.28.0 | **PROVEN-LIVE (2026-09-17, chaos night)** | A fresh nested box installed itself from the **published** 1.28.0 ISO and bound with **zero operator presses** (the automatic self-bind mail was already waiting; the acknowledged-delete path re-issued PBS credentials by itself — the F-14 path, measured live for the first time). Twelve rounds were drawn **once** from seed `20260917` by a committed script and written into the findings document **before round 1 began**. Across a power cut mid-restore, a hard reset four seconds into another, a system disk at 96 %, a killed tunnel, a restarted Docker, three severed networks and **the data drive pulled out of a running machine for twenty minutes**: the box healed itself **every time** with no human action — 148 s after the power cut, 97 s tunnel repair by the controller, 150 s after the hard reset, 67 s after the drive returned. **17 alarms fired, all 17 TRUE, none missing**, and the mailbox proves each was **delivered** to the operator, not merely stored. **One intervention** all night (a local backup leg that could never have fit; its off-site leg then succeeded unaided). Evidence: `audits/DRILL-chaos-night-2026-09-17.md` + `audits/evidence-chaos-night-2026-09-17/` | **WHAT IT DOES NOT CLAIM.** (1) **Per-app off-site RESTORE was not tested** — see the scope note on the recovery-journey row above; the repository was orphaned by design and held zero readable snapshots. The WHOLE-GUEST off-site copy did work and is present on ep0 (two intact snapshots, the later one written tonight), but that is a **listing, not a verification** — restorability was not tested. (2) **The dropped-event path was never exercised.** Events pushed while the hub is unreachable are retried 3× then dropped permanently with no queue; three ten-minute hub outages happened and **no event was raised during any of them**, so that behaviour remains unmeasured. What WAS measured is the REPORT path: built, three attempts over 1 m 40.8 s, given up, and the next scheduled report succeeded — a snapshot, so nothing was lost. (3) **Twelve rounds is a sample, not coverage.** (4) The household loop samples each app every two minutes, so ten of the twelve rounds left no mark in it — that silence is the instrument's sampling rate, not proof the household saw nothing. Three findings filed: **R-547**, **R-549**, **R-550**. |
 | **A stranger's FIRST HOUR on a fresh install — download → install → claim → two apps → use → backup → remove → restore, plus a power cut and a mistyped code** | controller **v0.242.0**, agent **v0.130.0**, hub **v0.112.0**, golden **0.242.0**, installer ISO **1.26.1** | **PARTIAL (2026-09-14) — every mechanism PASSED on a fresh box; the UNAIDED journey FAILS before the first app** | `audits/DRILL-fresh-install-0242-2026-09-14.md`, evidence `audits/evidence-drill-fresh-install-0242-2026-09-14/journal.md`. A nested VM on demo-hp installed from the public ISO landed on the vouched set (controller 0.242.0, agent 0.130.0) with no hand upgrade; BookStack and PrivateBin deployed in 68 s / 21 s and were used through their front doors; backup-now moved both dates to the true time; removal with every delete box ticked left no volume, no backup and a 404; a page deleted in BookStack came back **byte-identical with its attachment** 32 s after restore; a hard power cut returned every app on the **same version** with data intact and no alarm; a typo in the code was refused and the right code then accepted, five failures locking for 15 min with an honest Hungarian message. **ONE intervention a volunteer could not make:** the setup-code mail's dashboard link does not resolve for a new customer (no tunnel/DNS is created — **R-494**), so the dashboard was reached by LAN address. **And no instruction exists to begin with (R-493).** **WHAT IT DOES NOT CLAIM:** the self-bind page and the mailed setup code were not exercised (no mailbox in the harness — the operator bind and a box-printed code stood in); DR tier and off-site were off (ep0 fence), so escrow and off-site screens were not walked; no browser, so script-rendered state was not observed. Goes green when a volunteer, from written instructions alone, reaches a working dashboard and a first app with zero interventions. **2026-09-14 (evening) — WALKED AGAIN on ISO 1.27.0/1.27.1 + hub v0.113.0, STILL PARTIAL.** `audits/DOORSTEP-walk-1270-2026-09-14.md`. Held again on a new customer (`tester-1`, real domain + tunnel token): install on three disks and on one, the vouched set, deploy, use, backup-now, removal, byte-identical restore, power cut (same versions), typo + lockout. New and proven: the console is Felhom-only from the FIRST boot on 1.27.1 (VM 332, reboot proven, `pvebanner` masked); the hub tells the operator to hand the passphrase over (live). Still ONE intervention: the tunnel connected but received no routes (R-505), and the record has no e-mail (R-508). The graphical installer was proven only to its password screen (R-507). Goes green on a walk with zero interventions on a published installer. **BIGNIGHT 2026-09-14/15 (ISO 1.27.1):** the first hour re-walked with the real mailbox — self-bind link and mailed setup code both worked; 2 interventions (no auto bind mail R-509; tunnel 502 R-510); then twelve apps, a month of routines and nine faults: `audits/BIGNIGHT-household-month-2026-09-14.md`.  **DRILL 2026-09-16 on controller 0.243.0 / agent 0.131.0 / hub 0.115.0 / golden 0.243.0 / ISO 1.27.1 — the WALK half is now PROVEN-LIVE with ZERO interventions, and the BACKUP half is narrowed, not proven.** `audits/DRILL-prove-fixes-0243-2026-09-16.md`. A fresh nested box was installed from the published ISO, landed on this drill's own golden **by checksum** (`e2d1843c…c10a`, no self-update), and was walked as a volunteer: the connect e-mail and self-bind page, the claim, **the tunnel from outside (302→200, R-510 CLOSED)**, the data drive, the file manager with its own generated password (`admin`/`admin` refused 401 before any dashboard action), four apps deployed and used, and „Mentés most” with **26 s** of app downtime. **Interventions: 0** — the two operator presses (self-bind send, PBS re-issue) were pre-declared and counted apart, and the four moments that look like help were my own API-driving errors or my own damage, each named in the drill's interventions table. **The automatic connect e-mail is PROVEN with a real mailbox:** a host delete at 12:22:59Z produced the „Kösd össze a Felhom dobozodat” mail at **12:23:00Z**, with `selfbind_link_sent (host delete)` on the timeline (R-509). **WHAT THIS DOES NOT CLAIM, and it is the backup half of this row's own sentence:** on a one-drive box with no off-site tier — what every fresh install is — the household's files are in **no backup at all** (the whole-guest tiers exclude `mp8` by design; the file leg lives at tier 2/3, both unset), the app-backup page nevertheless reads „DB + Konfig + Adatok” (**R-537**), and a restore reports success while leaving Nextcloud listing five photos that return `Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound` — after making the app's own trash, which still held every byte, unreachable (**R-538**). **Also still open from this walk:** the off-site tier cannot be provisioned at all (**R-534**, P1, an ep0 grant), the console keeps its pairing banner after bind and claim (**R-535**), and „app installed” is emitted at accept time (**R-536**). Faults re-measured: controller killed during a deploy → back in **37 s**; three more kills 20 min apart → **61/41/61 s**, none accumulating (**R-531**); two reboots 60 s apart → everything back in **124 s** with the boots NOT counted against the brake; the claim page locks after the **second** wrong code and mails the operator truthfully.  **2026-09-16 (evening) — THE BACKUP HALF IS NOW WALKED TOO, on controller 0.244.0 / hub 0.116.0 / golden 0.244.0 / ISO 1.28.0 (built, unpublished).** `audits/evidence-backup-promise-2026-09-16/`. A second fresh box (VM 335) was installed from the BUILT image and walked to the end of the sentence this row could not previously finish: **five photos in → deleted the way a child would → the old route REFUSED and touched nothing → the off-site restore returned them → they OPEN, byte-identical (sha256 5/5, negative control)**. The refusal reads „Ez a mentés nem tartalmazza az alkalmazás fájljait… a fájlok így a helyükön maradnak" and names the route that can help; the app was `running` before and after; the wastebasket was untouched. The off-site restore ran in two steps — a verification copy that states „A meglévő adatok változatlanok", then a reconstitution counting „5 fájl és 3 adatkötet és az adatbázis". **Delivery is part of it:** the box landed on agent 0.131.0 + controller 0.244.0 (the golden baked and vouched the same day) with no hand upgrade, and `app_deploy_started` (19:15:34) / `app_deployed` (19:16:23) finally mean different things. **The self-bind half needed NO operator press** — the box registered itself and the bind used the mail the hub sent itself after the morning's host delete (R-509, proven twice today: 12:23:00Z and 18:17:46Z, each one second after a host delete). **WHAT IT STILL DOES NOT CLAIM — one operator press and one day-one gap.** The PBS-DR cascade stopped at the refusal R-511 documents („the endpoint already holds a PBS token … use the explicit Re-issue PBS credentials action") and needed the operator to press it; that press then SUCCEEDED because of the ep0 grant given this morning (R-534 CLOSED, R-511 CLOSED). And off-site ON by default is not off-site WORKING: a fresh box sits at „Kulcsletétre vár" until the household performs the escrow ceremony, which nothing asks them to do, while the tier-1 row already promises that copy (**R-543**, P1). **2026-09-16 (late evening) — that last gap is CLOSED, controller v0.245.0 (R-543).** The pause is the zero-knowledge escrow design and was not touched; what was missing was the ASK. Every authenticated page now carries „A távoli mentés szünetel, amíg nem hozod létre a helyreállítási kódot." linking the ceremony (the R-241 bar, second instance, hung on the single render choke point), the tier-1 sentence renders by tier-3 STATE („védené … szünetel" while paused, „védi" when running), and the first-hour guide asks for the code right after the dashboard password and before the first app. **Measured on two boxes running 0.245.0:** paused box — bar on four pages, `POST /backup/offbox/run` refused by the fork-4 gate with no snapshot written, app row „védené" and „védi"=0; escrowed box — no bar anywhere, row „védi". `audits/evidence-recovery-code-2026-09-16/`. **WHAT IT STILL DOES NOT CLAIM:** the ask has not been walked by an actual volunteer from the written guide — the sentence is proven, the human following it is not. So the journey now reads: **files protected from day one, once the household writes down the recovery code the box asks them for on every page.** | Rows **R-493 … R-500**, R-534 … R-545 |
 | **Off-site app-data capture covers the paths an app declares MANDATORY — on BOTH drive layouts** | controller v0.197.0 | **PROVEN-LIVE (2026-08-04) — and this row was OPTIMISTIC before it** | On demo-hp, an app on the **system-data fallback** bound `/mnt/sys_drive/userdata/media/books` while the capture set looked in `/mnt/sys_drive/felhom-data/userdata/media/books`: the declared-mandatory directory was in **no** snapshot and the run reported `ok` (R-203). After v0.197.0 the capture log reads `1 mandatory path(s)` and the file is **listed inside the snapshot** — `restic ls -l latest --tag calibre-web` → `-rw-r--r-- 1000 1000 181 … /DRILL-SENTINEL.txt`. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r201-offsite-recovery-2026-08-04.md` §2 and the v0.197.0 CHANGELOG | **WHAT IT DOES NOT CLAIM.** It covers CAPTURE, not RESTORE: **no file has ever been restored from an off-site backup after a wipe** (R-201, ready to resume). It also does not claim the enrolled-drive layout was ever wrong — it was not, which is precisely why this survived. And a run that still misses a mandatory directory now reports **`incomplete`** rather than `ok`, so this row's guarantee is one the status can express. **Widened 2026-08-06 (controller v0.205.0, R-234):** the same verdict now also covers an app skipped ENTIRELY — until then a missing declared FOLDER made the run incomplete while an app with no recovery unit at all still reported `ok`, so the smaller gap moved the verdict and the bigger one did not. **This row still claims CAPTURE, not that a newly-selected app is protected by the next run** — for a DEPLOYED app it is (the run's own pre-dump phase writes the unit, measured 2026-08-06), and for an undeployed one it is not and the card now says so || **Recurring offsite (PBS) whole-guest backups actually LAND, and RESTORE** — local daily + offsite weekly as scheduled work | agent v0.97–0.103, controller v0.174/0.175, hub v0.76.0, host-install 1.20.0 | **PROVEN-LIVE (2026-07-26)** | `audits/SPIKE-r82-phase0-2026-07-26.md`; per-repo CHANGELOGs/REPORTs. **Restore round-trip on demo-hp:** `--selftest=restore-test` against `felhom-pbs:backup/ct/9201/2026-07-26T15:42:42Z` → `pass:true`, `verified:"boot+running"`, **`mount_parity:"ok"`** (`mp0=/var/lib/docker 50G`, `mp1=/mnt/sys_drive 20G`, mp8/mp9 throwaway stand-ins for the archived binds), `source_tier:"pbs"`, 4m5s restore+boot+verify+teardown, scratch band clean afterwards and the live guest untouched. | **This row is distinct from the DR-tier row above, which proves ACTIVATION, not ARRIVAL.** That tier was PROVEN-LIVE as `applied` since 2026-07-21 while demo-felhom held ONE snapshot (a healing artifact) and demo-hp held **zero, ever** — "applied and empty", the R-39 shape one level quieter. **What earns PROVEN-LIVE here:** (a) demo-hp's FIRST EVER offsite backup landed (4.25 GB into a verifiably empty namespace); (b) it **restores into a bootable, mount-complete guest** — `mount_parity` is the non-hollow half, since a boot-only verify cannot see a missing data volume; (c) **the multi-tier quiesce ran through the real UI endpoint** (`POST /api/guest-backup/trigger`, authed+CSRF) and produced **exactly ONE stop/start pair with BOTH backups inside it** — `quiescing 1 stack(s)` 17:01:39 → local done 17:02:56 *"next tier may start (app still quiesced)"* → felhom-pbs snapshotted 17:03:06 → `unquiescing` 17:03:06. **App downtime 1m27s for both tiers**, and the app came back healthy. **Known gaps, recorded not hidden:** the SCHEDULED restore-test still only selects the PRIMARY tier, so the offsite tier is never AUTOMATICALLY restore-tested (the manual/selftest path is proven, the unattended one is not); the hub infers "PBS ⇒ weekly" from storage TYPE rather than a reported cadence; the installer-default fleet flip awaits a full weekly cycle. → **R-82** |
 | **Restore-proof is UNATTENDED — the scheduler covers EVERY tier, follows the BACKUP rather than the clock, and a failure is heard** | agent v0.104.0 → **v0.121.0**, hub v0.77.0 → **v0.91.0** | **PROVEN-LIVE (2026-08-03)** | per-repo CHANGELOGs; `backlog/SPEC-r85-phase4-5-2026-07-26.md`. Unit red-proofs for tier rotation, restart-survival, the one-heavy-op gate, failure-emits-an-event, and newborn silence. | **The row above is earned by a MANUAL `--selftest=restore-test`; this one is about the SCHEDULED path, and the distinction is the whole point.** Before R-85 the scheduler could only ever see `cfg.Backup.BackupTarget()`, so the offsite tier was never a candidate — and a failed restore-test was a `[WARN]` line with no event at all, which was true for the LOCAL tier that WAS being tested. Now: oldest-first rotation across every configured tier (operator ruling 2026-07-26), persisted so it survives a restart; a restore-test joins the host-wide one-heavy-operation gate so it never contends with a backup over the same tunnel; and the hub raises two DISTINCT operator-tier signals — `restore_test_failed` (broken now) and `restore_test_stale` (unverified, not known-broken), anchored on R-81 so a newborn box never alarms. **Why this was NOT PROVEN-LIVE until now:** rotation had not been observed selecting both tiers across consecutive UNATTENDED cadences — at a 24h cadence a multi-day window — and a single passing run proves the code path, not the schedule. → **R-85**. **R-86 (agent v0.121.0 + hub v0.91.0, 2026-08-03) replaced the schedule and the observation became possible in one afternoon**, because what has to be observed is no longer a multi-day rotation but a RULE: a tier is due when its newest archive that has settled ~24 h has not been proven. **UPGRADE EVIDENCE — a real unattended run on demo-felhom (2026-08-03), triggered by DUE-NESS, not by a timer.** The scheduler's own log: `15:14:38 restore-test tier is DUE … target=felhom-pbs archive=felhom-pbs:backup/ct/9201/2026-07-28T04:49:43Z … reason="newest settled archive … has not been proven"` → `proxmox-backup-client restore --crypt-mode=encrypt` under the agent's own token → `15:25:08 gate decision class=guest_destroy guest=990000 allowed=true` → `15:25:14 scratch guest torn down` → **`15:25:14 backup: scheduled restore-test passed archive=felhom-pbs:… duration_s=635.1`**. A **14.5 GB encrypted offsite archive pulled from ep0 over the WAN**, restored, booted, verified and destroyed in 635 s, unattended. **The three things a timer could not show**, all verified after it: the state names THAT archive (`{"felhom-pbs":{"archive":"…2026-07-28T04:49:43Z","proven_at":"2026-08-03T13:25:14Z"}}`); a second evaluation reports `due=false … is already proven` and runs nothing; and **an agent restart runs nothing**, which is the defect a person actually noticed — every deploy used to restart the timer. Teardown verified at all three layers: guest absent from `pct list`, **zero** `990000` volumes in `lvs`, and the hub-side `restore_tests[]` entry deliberately RETAINED (it IS the proof the staleness check reads). **R-189 (agent v0.122.0, 2026-08-03) closed the reporting half of this row, and it was a REAL gap in the evidence path:** the proof above reached the hub only because no restart intervened — `restore_tests[]` came solely from an in-memory store, so the 15:25:14 PASS was in fact LOST when the agent restarted 2 m 43 s later for a deploy (`0 restore-tests` on the next two host-reports). Under per-archive due-ness the box would not have repeated the work for a week. The persisted per-tier proof (with the archive, and now the tier) is merged into the report, so a proof survives a restart — one entry per tier, newest wins, and a record that cannot be described honestly is not emitted. **THE HOST TIER'S HALF OF THIS ROW WAS OPTIMISTIC UNTIL 2026-08-03, and it is worth saying plainly.** Every live restore-test cited here is on the OFFSITE tier. The HOST tier was not merely unproven on demo-felhom — it was **unprovable**, and on demo-hp equally: the agent's token had no ACL on `/storage/felhom-backup`, the storage both boxes configure as `local_backup_target`, so the content API answered `{"data":[]}` through the token while root listed three archives. The scheduler skipped it as *"no settled archive yet"* — which is exactly what a brand-new tier reports — so nothing ever said so (**R-185**). **CLOSED 2026-08-03 — agent v0.123.0 + installer 1.24.0.** The grant is applied on both demo boxes (the token now lists 3 and 4 archives), the installer's reuse arm grants on a pre-existing target, and the agent now **asks whether it may read each tier it depends on** instead of inferring it from an empty list: a critical degraded capability naming the storage and the missing role, which the hub alerted and emailed on **while the box was still blind**. **THE HOST TIER IS NOW PROVEN-LIVE, UNATTENDED, ON BOTH DEMO BOXES (2026-08-04) — this row's optimistic half is cashed.** Four SCHEDULED runs, nothing triggered by hand: **demo-felhom** host tier `…2026_08_02-04_42_14.tar.zst` **passed in 83.8 s** at 00:55, offsite `…2026-07-28T04:49:43Z` **passed in 540.4 s** at 06:55; **demo-hp** host tier `…2026_08_02-04_49_29.tar.zst` **passed in 109.3 s** at 02:05, offsite `…2026-07-28T19:19:45Z` **passed in 300.1 s** at 08:05. Each restored into a scratch guest, booted, verified and destroyed itself; `pct list` and `lvs` show zero `990000` afterwards on both, and both boxes' `local-lvm` returned to their pre-run figures (1.95 % and 30.83 %). **Both boxes had BOTH tiers due at once and the ordering was observed live for the first time under R-86's rule:** never-proven sorted first, so each box took its HOST tier, deferred the offsite one, and picked it up on the following evaluation six hours later — one heavy operation at a time, per box, without anyone sequencing it. **The proofs reached the hub**, which is R-189 carrying a host-tier entry for the first time: demo-felhom's report holds **two** entries, one per tier, and the `local` one can only have come from the persisted state because the in-memory store held only that morning's offsite run. **SCOPE, stated because one box proving something does not make it a fleet property:** this covers `demo-felhom` and `demo-hp`. The tester's box is untested and untouched. Evidence: `felhom-agent/REPORT.md`, `felhom.eu/REPORT.md` |

 # DRILL — CHAOS NIGHT: random actions on random apps while random things go wrong (2026-09-16/17)
 
-**Interventions: PENDING — the run is in progress.**
-**Ready for a volunteer: PENDING.**
-**The accident-plus-action pair that hurt most: PENDING.**
+**Interventions: 1.** One, at 21:59:45Z in round 6: I killed the **local leg** of a whole-guest
+backup that could never have fit (a ~29 GB source into a 14 GB root filesystem, falling at ~16 MB/s).
+The **off-site leg then ran by itself from the same snapshot and succeeded**, so the data still left
+the house. Both pre-declared presses went **unused**: the automatic self-bind mail was already
+waiting, and the acknowledged-delete path re-issued the PBS credentials on its own. Phase 0's
+seeding repairs are listed separately in `evidence-chaos-night-2026-09-17/interventions.txt` — that
+damage was mine, not the product's, and every repair went through the product's own endpoints.
+
+**Ready for a volunteer: still yes.** Across twelve rounds — a power cut mid-restore, a hard reset
+four seconds into another, a full disk, a killed tunnel, a restarted Docker, three severed networks
+and the data drive pulled out of a running machine for twenty minutes — **nothing cost a byte of
+customer data, and the box healed itself every single time with no human involved.** Seventeen
+alarms fired, **all seventeen were true, none were missing**, and the mailbox proves every one was
+**delivered** rather than merely stored. The honest qualifications: two P2 legibility gaps are filed
+(an interrupted restore leaves no record; one failed report spends the whole 30-minute staleness
+budget, measured at 29 m 59 s), and one thing this night could **not** test — per-app off-site
+restore, because this box is a rebuild whose restic repository is orphaned **by design**, which the
+product surfaced honestly within seconds.
+
+**The accident-plus-action pair that hurt most: `restore` + hard reset (round 10).** Not because the
+box suffered — it was back with 26 of 26 containers in **150 s**, boot reconciliation naming the app
+it recovered, every front door serving. It hurt most because it is the **only** pair of the night
+where the household is left not knowing what happened: they pressed restore, were told it had
+started, the machine went dark four seconds later, and afterwards **nothing anywhere tells them
+whether it finished.** The status surface exists and answers with the zero value; the record is
+in-memory only and does not survive the machine stopping.
