docs: R-166 SHIPPED — the desired/in-flight/observed split (D-b)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s

Controller v0.189.0 implements operator decision D-b. Docs only here; no hub
change and no hub version bump.

- architecture/02-controller-module-map.md §0a — NEW, and it is the S-1 contract:
  desired (app.yaml) / in-flight (own marker file) / observed (not persisted),
  with the rule that ties them — never derive one from another. Absent desired
  state means UNKNOWN, never "running". One file, one writer. D-b's binding
  safety rule quoted verbatim.
- 00-capability-map.md — the boot-recovery row now rests on a recorded signal,
  with the three live flows from 9201. The interrupted-operation half is marked
  IMPLEMENTED, not PROVEN-LIVE: nobody killed the controller mid-backup on metal.
- OPEN-ITEMS/ROADMAP — R-166 SHIPPED with both blocking facts and their answers;
  R-157 mechanism B CLOSED and A restated as the whole item; R-170 NEW (the
  drive-backed boot gate still infers a Stop from a container count).
- STATUS.md — the "an app can stay switched off and nothing says so" line
  rewritten to what is actually left: timing.
- CLAUDE.md — end-of-session checklist gains: confirm your own last push's CI run
  went green, BY RUN ID. The failure email is a push signal; this is the pull check.
- CONTEXT.md S-12 — the rulings, and the two lessons worth carrying: a test that
  constructs the thing it should prove the caller constructs is hollow (its
  red-proof will say so), and a field-by-field struct rebuild in a save path is a
  defect on sight.

**S-12 — D-b is BUILT (controller v0.189.0, 2026-08-02, R-166).** The desired/in-flight/observed
split now exists; the S-1 contract lives in `architecture/02-controller-module-map.md` §0a.
**Both facts D-b said to establish first were established at source, and both changed the shape.**
(a) *Does the crash-safe journal in the backup code already cover the in-flight case?* The pattern
DID already exist — twice (`quiesce` marker+`Recover`, `migrate` journal+`RecoverMigration`) — and
covered **none** of the app-data path: `DumpAppVolumesSafe` stopped and restarted an app with no
marker, no journal and **not even a `defer`**. So the answer was neither "it exists, wire it" nor
"build it": copy the proven shape into its own file. It was the fifth time the question was worth
asking and the first time the answer was "the pattern, not the coverage". (b) *Is the SQLite store
reachable?* Reachable and **deliberately not used**`metrics.db` is optional by design (the
controller runs with it absent), and operational state must not live in a store built to be dropped.
**The ruling that carried the design: absent means UNKNOWN, never "running".** Every `app.yaml` on
every box predates the field, so absent is what the whole fleet reads on upgrade; reading it as
running would have started every deliberately-stopped app on the first boot after the upgrade —
fleet-wide, silently. Where intent is unknown the box keeps the OLD inference rather than inventing
an answer. That is also why the backfill is **running-only**: "zero containers ⇒ stopped" is the
defect itself, so an ambiguous app stays ambiguous until a customer presses a button.
**The other load-bearing ruling: `StartStack`/`StopStack` are NOT writers of intent.** A census found
14 callers, of which exactly 2 are the customer. Recording intent in the primitive would make a
nightly backup indistinguishable from the customer pressing Stop — the confusion being removed.
**Found on the way, and it would have silently eaten the feature: `SaveAppConfig` rebuilt `AppConfig`
field-by-field.** That is the R-100 shape, which v0.181.0 shipped two live instances of. The literal
named five fields, so the sixth would have been dropped on every save across nine call sites — a
customer's Stop erased by the next unrelated `app.yaml` write. Copy-and-overlay is safe by
construction; the failure mode is generic, so **treat any field-by-field struct rebuild in a save
path as a defect on sight.** Measured and documented rather than assumed: `app.yaml` does NOT
round-trip YAML keys the struct does not model.
**Closes R-157 mechanism B; mechanism A (the sweep observes ~5 s after start and never re-checks) is
untouched and is now the whole of R-157** — and B's fix makes A cost more, since the sweep now has
more it could legitimately recover. **New: R-170**`shouldRecreateOnBoot`
(`internal/web/intermediary.go:131`) still infers a Stop from `hasContainers`, i.e. the same defect
one gate over for drive-backed apps. Left deliberately: the task scoped `bootrecon`, and two boot
behaviour changes under one live validation is one too many.

**After a power cut, an app can stay switched off — and the machine may look too early to notice.**
It now knows the difference between an app the customer switched off and one that simply didn't come
back: the customer's choice is written down, so an app meant to be running is started again however
it went missing. What is left is timing — it looks about five seconds after starting, while the
system is still coming up, and never looks again. *(R-157; the "decided the customer switched it off"
half is fixed — R-166, 2026-08-02. The same guess still lives in one other place, for apps kept on a

## 0a. App state: desired / in-flight / observed — S-1 CONTRACT (2026-08-02, decision D-b, R-166)
> **This section is a live contract, not migration history** — the rest of this document is the
> v0.33 keep/port/delete inventory. Read this before touching `stacks/`, `backup/` or `bootrecon/`.
> Shipped in controller **v0.189.0**.
An app's state is **three different kinds of information**, and conflating them is what produced
R-157 mechanism B and F-CRIT-1. They are stored differently on purpose.
| Kind | Question it answers | Where it lives | Persisted? |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Desired** | *What did the customer ask for?* | `app.yaml``desired_state` | Yes, beside the app's other settings |
| **In-flight** | *Is an operation part-way through, and did it finish?* | its **own** marker file under `<data_dir>` | Yes, written before the operation and cleared after |
| **Observed** | *Is it running, unhealthy, restarting, is its drive gone?* | nowhere | **No — rebuilt by looking** |
**The rule that ties them together: never derive one from another.** The defect this replaced did
exactly that — it derived *desired* from *observed* (zero containers ⇒ "the customer stopped it"),
and zero containers is equally what a power cut mid-compose, an interrupted deploy and an interrupted
backup leave behind. Two real faults were therefore read as deliberate stops and stranded silently.
### Desired — `app.yaml`, `desired_state`
Tri-state: `""` (unknown) · `"running"` · `"stopped"`.
- **ONE OWNER: the customer's own action.** Writers are the `/api/stacks/{name}/{action}` switch,
`DeployStack`, `UpdateOptionalConfig`'s redeploy branch, and the `.fab` import. **`StartStack` and
`StopStack` are NOT writers** — a census found 14 callers of which only 2 are the customer; the
rest are quiesce, the backup volume dump, offbox reconstitution, app export/restore, the storage
gate, migration and the boot reconciler. Intent recorded in the primitive would make a nightly
backup indistinguishable from the customer pressing Stop.
- **Written BEFORE the act; a failed write REFUSES the act.**
- **Absent means UNKNOWN — never "running".** Every `app.yaml` predating v0.189.0 lacks the field,
so consumers must fall back to the pre-v0.189.0 behaviour rather than assume. A running-only
backfill converges the unambiguous cases; **`stopped` is never inferred, from any signal.**
### In-flight — a marker file, one per owner
Two exist and they are deliberately **separate files**: `quiesce-state.json` (the whole-guest backup
window, `internal/quiesce`) and `appstop-state.json` (app-data operations that stop an app —
`backup.AppStopGuard`, covering the volume dump, offbox reconstitution and `.fab` export). **One
file, one writer**: sharing would give one record two lifetimes, and one owner clearing the other's
note is a stranded app by a different route.
- Written **before** the stop; cleared **only** after a restart that succeeded; a **failed** restart
keeps the marker so the next startup retries.
- **A `defer` is not the mechanism.** A SIGKILL runs no deferred function — established on live
hardware by Campaign 8 fault 10, where what brought the stacks back was the marker read at startup.
- Recovery runs at startup and **completes before** the boot reconciler is launched, so an app the
marker explains is not also reported as an unexplained boot orphan.
### Observed — not persisted, by design
`aggregateState` walks **every container** of a stack and any unhealthy or mixed result wins, so a
partly-dead app cannot read as healthy (F-CRIT-1's shape). This requirement is met here and must not
be re-implemented downstream. Nothing about observed state is written to disk: a controller restart
re-observes it within one refresh, whereas persisting it risks carrying a stale verdict across the
very restart that fixed it (the same argument as `RestartingSince`).
### The binding safety rule (verbatim, from decision D-b)
> *Losing the state store must never cause an app to be deleted, restarted wrongly, or reported
> healthy when it is not — the worst acceptable outcome is re-running a backup that already ran.*
Applied: a lost or corrupt marker means the app is not auto-restarted **by that mechanism**, which is
the pre-v0.189.0 position, not a new hazard. A lost `app.yaml` already means the app is not deployed.
**Nothing here may make an absent file more dangerous than a present one.**
### Not migrated
`shouldRecreateOnBoot` (`internal/web/intermediary.go`) — the drive-backed boot gate — still derives
desired from observed via `hasContainers`. Tracked as **R-170**.

So the pattern existed and the coverage did not; `backup.AppStopGuard` copies the proven shape into its **own** file (one file, one writer). **(b) Is the SQLite store reachable?** Irrelevant, and deliberately unused: `metrics.db` is optional by design (the controller runs with it absent), and operational state must not live in a store designed to be droppable. **Shipped:** tri-state `desired_state` in `app.yaml` written ONLY by the customer's action (API action switch, `DeployStack`, `UpdateOptionalConfig`'s redeploy branch, `.fab` import — a 14-caller census established that `StartStack`/`StopStack` must NOT be writers); `isBootOrphan` reads intent instead of `len(Containers) > 0`; **absent means UNKNOWN, never running**, so a legacy `app.yaml` keeps byte-identical pre-v0.189.0 behaviour; running-only backfill. D-b's every-container requirement was already met by `aggregateState` and was NOT re-implemented. **Live on 9201:** all three flows (stop survives a restart; a zero-container `running` app is recovered by name; a legacy app.yaml is skipped and never inferred as stopped). **Also fixed en route:** `SaveAppConfig` rebuilt `AppConfig` field-by-field (the R-100 shape) and would have dropped the new field on every save across nine call sites | — |

The two that changed the design: **P2** (stock image has git but NO python3 → custom image `felhom-act-runner:0.1.0`, base pinned, python3 and nothing else) and **P6** (a runner that loses `/data/.runner` re-registers and leaves a dead record behind → the PVC is load-bearing, measured both ways). **P5 is the one that mattered**: a failed run produced NO mail, NO notification row and NO log line from Gitea, so the run now sends its own alarm via Resend and prints the provider's accepted id. **Proven end to end, not asserted**: a deliberately broken commit pushed with `--no-verify` → run #6 `failure``RESEND-ACCEPTED id=5ff34766-c5f8-4588-8104-08296aeb45ab`. Posture shown from the live pod spec: `privileged: false`, all caps dropped, no docker socket, no hostPath, `automountServiceAccountToken: false`, sized at half Gitea's limits so it cannot crowd out the service holding every repository on the same node. **The standing limit stays true and is written into the manifest and every workflow: it DETECTS, it does not BLOCK** — making it block is → R-169 | — |
| **R-169** | **CI can only report, because there is no gate in the road.** Every felhom repo pushes straight to `main` with no pull request, so there is no merge for a status check to stand at.

The cost is real — every change would need a PR, which for a single-operator project may be worse than the disease. **The current arrangement is two nets, and it is not nothing**: `.githooks/pre-push` REFUSES locally, and R-168's runner NOTICES when that hook was skipped or was never armed in a clone, and emails. The honest gap is the window between a `--no-verify` push landing and the operator reading the alarm. Decide only if that window ever actually costs something | operator |

| R-159 | **wishlist's data landed in an ANONYMOUS volume — never backed up, orphaned by a redeploy** | XS | **SHIPPED** (`templates/wishlist/`, 2026-08-02) — filed for the CLASS | Image declares `VOLUME /usr/src/app/data`; template mounted `wishlist_data:/data`, a path the app never writes. `ResolveDockerVolumeNames` returns names only for compose-declared volumes, so `DumpAppVolumes` never sees an anonymous one. **The class is open:** any image `VOLUME` at an unmounted path is silent unbacked-up storage — **`immich-server` has one today** at `/data`, empty when measured. Proposed `REUSE.md` rule: a template mounts every path in `Config.Volumes`, or says why not |
| R-160 | **gramps-web persisted three paths and wrote to none of them** | XS | **SHIPPED** (`templates/gramps-web/`, 2026-08-02) | `/app/data` appears nowhere in the image's env; the accounts DB and **the family tree** (`GRAMPS_DATABASE_PATH=/root/.gramps/grampsdb`) both landed in the writable layer. Upstream persists **eight** paths, the template three, one a phantom. **Severity above papra's:** papra loses documents the customer may hold elsewhere; gramps-web loses the artefact built inside the app, of which no other copy exists by construction |
