-# REPORT — Slice 8B.2 docs: quiesce downtime optimization (resume at `snapshotted`) (2026-06-10)
+# REPORT — Slice 9 (hub + docs): host metrics to the controller — `cpu_temp_c` wire field + docs (2026-06-10)
 
 ## Type
 
-Documentation update for **slice 8B.2** (implementation: `felhom-agent` v0.13.0 + `felhom-controller`
-v0.38.0; no hub change).
+Cross-repo wire-contract + documentation update for **slice 9** (implementation: `felhom-agent`
+v0.14.0 + `felhom-controller` v0.39.0). **No hub code change, no hub version bump.**
+
+## What changed (hub)
+
+- **Cross-repo host-report golden** (`hub/internal/api/testdata/host-report.golden.json`) gained
+  **`host.cpu_temp_c: 47`**, kept **byte-identical** with
+  `felhom-agent/internal/hub/testdata/host-report.golden.json` (the duplicated-contract discipline;
+  manual diff confirmed identical). No code change: the full `report_json` already persists the field
+  verbatim, and the hub's host parse-struct ignores the extra key — the golden-contract test
+  (`host_test.go`) still passes. CPU temp on the operator dashboard is an optional later freebie.
+- `hub/CHANGELOG.md` records the contract update (no version bump).
 
 ## What changed (doc 03 — host-agent)
 
-- **§8** — the **8B.2 downtime optimization is now implemented** (was a fast-follow note): in snapshot
-  mode the agent watches the vzdump task log for the snapshot marker (`create storage snapshot`,
-  validated PVE 9.2.2) and emits a **`snapshotted`** phase on `/backup/status`; the controller
-  **resumes its app at `snapshotted`** (not `done`), cutting app downtime from *whole-backup* to
-  *until-snapshot* with **no loss of app-consistency** (the snapshot froze the app-stopped state).
-  Noted the snapshot-capable-storage dependency + the stop-mode **fallback to resume-at-`done`**, and
-  that the controller keeps tracking to `done`/`failed` after early resume.
-- **§9 slice table** — the 8B row notes 8B.2 implemented.
+- **§6** — added **`GET /host/metrics`** to the local-API surface: host-wide health
+  (cpu%/mem/load/uptime/`cpu_temp_c`) + per-storage capacity for the customer's monitoring view.
+  Reuses the slice-4 collector (no duplicate collection); **host-wide, token-authed, fresh** (not the
+  15-min hub snapshot); noted the **one-customer-per-host** assumption.
+- **§9 slice table** — **defined + marked slice 9** (the roadmap previously jumped 8→10; this fills
+  it), incl. the assumption + out-of-scope items (multi-tenant filtering, time-series history). Added
+  a slice-9 entry to the doc changelog.
 
-## Live validation (cross-repo, on the demo)
+## Why (the slice 9 thesis)
 
-A provisioned controller + postgres stack: `quiescing` → `snapshotted — resuming app early` →
-`backup done`. **App downtime ≈ 3s** (resume at snapshot) vs **≈ 23s** if it had waited for `done`
-(~87% cut). The snapshot backup restored **clean** (`database system was shut down`, no WAL replay) —
-the early resume preserved app-consistency. See the agent + controller REPORTs.
+The de-privileged controller (slice 8C) sees only its own cgroup — it can't read the host. Slice 9
+re-serves the agent's existing host + storage observation to the customer, plus the one new collector
+(CPU/chassis temp, graceful-null). On-ethos for a data-sovereignty product: the customer sees their
+own box's health.
 
-## Deferred
+## Deferred / not built
 
-Snapshot-capable storage required for the win; stop/downgraded storage falls back to resume-at-`done`
-(8B). No hub change → no deploy. No secrets committed.
+Multi-tenant host-metric filtering (one-customer-per-host assumed); historical/time-series metric
+storage (this is a live snapshot view). No secrets committed.

 # Felhom Hub — Changelog
 
+## (no version bump) — slice 9 cross-repo wire-contract: `host.cpu_temp_c` (2026-06-10)
+
+Slice 9 adds a nullable **`cpu_temp_c`** field to the shared `HostMetrics` wire struct (the agent's
+new CPU/chassis-temperature collector). The agent's host-report carries it too, so the hub's
+**cross-repo host-report golden** (`internal/api/testdata/host-report.golden.json`) was updated to
+stay **byte-identical** with `felhom-agent/internal/hub/testdata/host-report.golden.json` (the
+duplicated-contract discipline; manual diff confirmed identical). **No hub code change** — the full
+report_json already persists the field verbatim, and the hub does not surface CPU temp on the
+operator dashboard yet (an optional later freebie). The golden-contract test (`host_test.go`) still
+passes (the host parse-struct ignores the extra key).
