 | R-24 | **Guest resources as hub desired-state (live resize).** F5 (host-install v1.17.0) auto-sizes RAM/cores at INSTALL only. Make guest cores/RAM a per-host `pbs_dr`-sibling descriptor field the agent reconciles (`pct set -memory/-cores`), so the operator can right-size a running box from the hub — and land it in seconds via the agent-plane poke (R-13). | M | idea (F5 follow-on) | Follows F5 (`VALIDATION-n100` — appliance auto-size shipped); the live-resize path reuses the desired-state + poke machinery (agent v0.89 / hub v0.59). Would flip a new map row "operator right-sizes a running guest from the hub" |
 | R-12 | Cluster mode: agent-follows-guest, bind-mount reconciliation on HA migration | XL | idea | Scoped 07-15; interim = HA-group pin to one node. Driven by Peti's two-node cluster |
 | R-13 | OOB management arc: dual-use existing WireGuard + hub desired-state channel as mutual-repair | L | **first slice PROVEN-LIVE (poke channel)** | **FIRST SLICE PROVEN-LIVE — the agent-plane poke channel (Direction-2a), agent v0.89.0 + hub v0.59.0 (2026-07-17):** the ep0-relayed contentless poke (hub→ep0 `felhom-poke` forced-cmd→UDP→box WG /32:51822, peer-confined, zero ep0/box infra change) reaches the **agent** and fires an immediate desired-state cycle. Full path live: real operator manifest save → `sync-poke delivered to 10.77.0.2`; box → `poke received → immediate desired-state cycle` (~31 ms ep0→box, save→tick ≈ ~0.45 s). This is ONLY the listener+sender; the rest of the mutual-repair arc (self-heal actions over the channel) stays open. Per `SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16` P4. The controller-plane Direction-2 wait channel (hub v0.58 / controller v0.140) shipped the config-puller leg separately |
+| R-28 | **Agent fast-tick-until-first-convergence (immediacy SECONDARY).** The hub v0.63.0 system-initiated pokes cannot reach a box on the ONE leg that matters most at onboarding: the WG-**registration** auto-provision (the box's tunnel does not exist until it fetches the WG block, so a poke is undeliverable by construction — the register bump is deliberately poke-free). Close it from the agent side: while ANY desired-state item is still unapplied (e.g. a `pbs_dr` descriptor freshly minted, guests not yet at desired run-state), the agent ticks on a fast **30 s** state-based cadence instead of the 15-min backbone, and **self-disarms** the instant it converges. State-based, not a fixed burst — no timer to leak, no fleet-wide load once converged. | M | idea | Rides the **agent v0.90.0** train (agent-repo task; hub already mints the state). Names the coupling: flips the capability-map immediacy row's remaining "WG-registration leg unfired live" caveat → PROVEN once a real onboarding converges in seconds without a poke. Candidate train-passenger: the **Guests-0/0** onboarding observation (a box reporting 0/0 guests briefly at first boot) — the same fast-tick shortens that window. Pairs with R-13 (poke channel) + R-23 (UI leg) as the third immediacy leg |
 | R-14 | Headscale/WireGuard spike: Minecraft/gaming port connectivity (CGNAT-proof, sovereign DERP fallback) | M | idea | |
 | R-15 | Multi-user dashboard accounts (household members, roles) | L | idea | Single password is a stated alpha limitation (R-11) |
 | R-21 | **Bare-metal Felhom ISO** — per-PVE-release auto-install ISO for blank customer hardware → first-boot wrapper (invokes `felhom-host-install.sh`) → universal secret-free / operator-bind (option C) | XL | **SHIPPED (slices A+B+C, 2026-07-17)** — physical N100 boot + the live boot→bind→day-0 composition fold into the supervised rehearsal (R-1) | **PHYSICAL RUN 2026-07-16 (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-baremetal-2026-07-16.md`):** demo N100 reinstalled clean-slate from a pipeline ISO → chain reached **rc-0 first try on real hardware** (closes slice A's operator-gated boundary), serial-filter safety proven on metal, PBS-DR reconciler self-healed on the reused peer, DMI verdict = key on MAC+UUID. **F1 (HIGH, slice-B input):** this cheap AMI `AN3PLUS 0.01` firmware won't UEFI-boot the ISO's GRUB from USB (`relocation 0x0`) — SB-off/shim-bypass don't help; worked around live with a `grub-mkimage` loader built from the box's own GRUB. Pipeline must ship a firmware-compatible loader / PXE path. Reused-customer edges (F2 claim re-issue, F3 offsite re-issue, F4 non-default-storage-id ACL 403) feed R-1/Peti. UX: F6 drive-init doesn't mount+attach, F5 guest-RAM not configurable, F7 back-route. — **Slice A (build pipeline + first-boot bootstrap) DONE + validated on VM 310:** build gate/red-proof, disk-filter fail-safe, stub→retry-unit→real public-channel host-install fetch+invoke→retry, resume-decision, exactly-once, no-net retry+recovery all GREEN. Operator-gated remainder: host-install rc-0 terminal success (drill customer needs the password-gated create-UI). **Slice B — SHIPPED (scripts v1.18.0, 2026-07-17):** the F1 firmware fix is now a first-class pipeline mode `build-felhom-iso.sh --loader shim|mkimage` (default shim; `mkimage` = monolithic grub-mkimage loader from the ISO's own GRUB, recipe from the run evidence). RUNBOOK-B legs on nested VM 311 proved it: shim boots+installs under OVMF SB-enforcing + SeaBIOS; mkimage boots+installs under OVMF SB-off; mkimage under SB-enforcing FAILS `Access Denied` (unsigned → **SB must be OFF**, documented); surgery byte-identical payload. **Physical N100 boot on the real board still pending** → folds into the supervised rehearsal (R-1; an `n100-safety` match-nothing ISO is built + sha-recorded for a zero-risk pre-flight). **PXE/network-boot** (the third F1 option, for boards where even USB-mkimage fails) stays a deferred note under this item — not built. **Slice C — SHIPPED (hub v0.62.0 + scripts v1.19.0, 2026-07-17):** the GENERIC secret-free universal ISO (`build-felhom-iso.sh --pairing`). The box self-registers as an unclaimed appliance (keyed by SMBIOS-uuid + MAC set — the DMI-verdict tiebreaker), the operator BINDS it to a customer on the Hosts page, and the hub delivers customer-id + retrieval passphrase ONCE (`/api/v1/appliance/register` + one-shot poll, 404-no-oracle — all live-verified through the public ingress); the bootstrap then falls through to the slice-A direct path. **One unit, two modes** (direct = byte-identical, regression-proven zero-appliance-calls). Artifact proven secret-free (baked env = hub URL only; manifest `secret-bearing: no`). The **bind is operator-password-gated** → the live boot→register→bind→day-0 composition (with a Viktor-created drill customer) + the physical N100 boot fold into the supervised rehearsal — **which now runs the COMPLETE final product flow in one pass: RESET the demo → boot the generic ISO → bind → day-0**. SSH-host-key pinning: stored + fingerprints displayed (attaching to the host on bind = future, no clean hand-off surface today). **Customer-facing self-bind page = R-27 (future).** Origin spike `audits/SPIKE-baremetal-iso-2026-07-16.md`: every mechanism GREEN on nested virt (VM 310 on felhom-pve). Zero-touch install BIOS **and** UEFI incl. **Secure Boot enforcing** (no MOK/keypress); first-boot hook `fully-up` = root + working pvesh/pct, exactly-once via `pending-first-boot-setup` flag; post-install **webhook** carries SMBIOS-UUID + management-MAC + host SSH keys → the unclaimed-appliance record; disk-filter installs only the target (canary byte-identical) and **fails-safe** on match-nothing / bad disk; `from-url` + `cert-fingerprint` **fails CLOSED**. OPEN (needs ONE real bare-metal run): vendor DMI serials (empty on virt), real firmware/NIC quirks, a pre-existing-LVM wipe step. Pipeline notes: assistant pairs to the ISO by Debian codename, ~11.5 s/ISO on DooPlex, **gate on `validate-answer` output not `$?`** (exit 0 on failure). Would flip a new capability-map MISSING row "customer self-installs on bare hardware" once spec'd. *(brief called this R-22)* |
