-# REPORT — Slice 8C docs: controller de-privileging + disk classifier (slice 8 CLOSED) (2026-06-10)
+# REPORT — Slice 8B.2 docs: quiesce downtime optimization (resume at `snapshotted`) (2026-06-10)
 
 ## Type
 
-Documentation update for **slice 8C** (the implementation is in `felhom-agent` v0.12.0 +
-`felhom-controller` v0.37.0; no hub change). Slice 8 is now **CLOSED**.
+Documentation update for **slice 8B.2** (implementation: `felhom-agent` v0.13.0 + `felhom-controller`
+v0.38.0; no hub change).
 
 ## What changed (doc 03 — host-agent)
 
-- **§6** — added the disk-management endpoints (`GET /disks`, `POST /disks/{assign,eject,format}`)
-  and **reframed the principle**: a controller may do *non-data-destructive* storage setup self-serve
-  (list / assign / eject / format-blank); **anything that can lose customer data stays
-  operator-signed (§4)**, with the **classifier (agent-internal device inspection)** as the enforcer.
-  The 8C invariant: the agent decides data-bearing-ness by inspecting the device itself, never the
-  caller's claim; a data-bearing format → `ClassStorageWipe` → gate → `pending_signature` (signed
-  completion is slice 10). Marked **implemented**.
-- **§4** — added: data-bearing-ness is **agent-internal evidence, never the caller's claim**
-  (mirrors the agent-internal scratch-provenance rule); destructive completion → slice 10.
-- **§9 slice table** — **8C implemented → slice 8 CLOSED**: agent v0.12.0 (`/disks` + classifier
-  gate + `mkfs`); controller v0.37.0 (~12.3k LOC disk-execution retired, `backup.Manager` split to
-  app-data, disk mgmt rewired to the agent, container de-privileged). §13 + doc changelog updated.
-
-## What changed (doc 02 — controller module map)
-
-- Added an **EXECUTED** banner: the map's target state is realized — the disk subsystem is deleted,
-  `backup.Manager` split, disk mgmt rewired to the agent, the container de-privileged. The in-guest
-  controller is now Docker-only with no disk/Proxmox privileges.
+- **§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.
 
 ## Live validation (cross-repo, on the demo)
 
-A provisioned **de-privileged** controller v0.37.0 (`Privileged=false`; mounts only bootstrap + data
-+ docker.sock) drove the agent disk API: `GET /disks` returned data-bearing flags, and a
-**data-bearing format was refused** (`pending_signature`, nothing formatted) — the security
-centerpiece, proven live. See the agent + controller REPORTs.
+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.
 
 ## Deferred
 
-The operator-signed completion of a data-bearing wipe/format → **slice 10**. No hub change → no
-deploy. No secrets committed.
+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.
