DRILL closeout: the scheduled cycle agrees, the abandonment sweep watched firing, R-366
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
The box's own 02:30 / 03:30 / 04:15 cycle ran unattended and agrees with the manual one on every measure. The one that matters: R-355 is not an artefact of manual triggering — the scheduled run again wrote paperless-ngx's PostgreSQL dump into a directory for a stack that does not exist, and again left the app's own unit recording db_dumps: null. Part 4.2's terminal deletion has now been observed. At 05:10 the sweep removed exactly the recorded set-aside store and left the live repository untouched; at 05:13 the hub dropped the sealed package that protected it and said so (event 3025). Both halves went together, three minutes apart, and the controller cleared its own state. demo-felhom's two preserved fixtures were verified untouched throughout. R-366 (HIGH) filed, found incidentally: the 21 August reinstall orphaned demo-hp's PBS whole-guest archives as well as its restic repo, so a rebuilt box loses BOTH off-premises tiers at once. The restore-test caught it and named the key mismatch precisely; it is merely called "a failed restore test" rather than "your older backups are unreadable". demo-hp is left HEALTHY, not broken. Ceiling R-353 -> R-366.

| **R-363** | **The fill watcher runs once a day, so a filesystem that fills at 03:31 goes unannounced for ~24 h while the backup is already refusing apps.** `sched.Daily("fill-watch", "03:30", …)` (`cmd/controller/main.go:1092`) plus one startup check. Proven 2026-08-21 23:17: the 69 GB filesystem carrying the Docker data-root, the system namespace and ALL 40-class app data was filled to 99% / 1.2 GiB free; the backup reserve refused `kimai` per app and the hub received `recovery_unit_capture_failed` (error) naming the filesystem, **and the fill watcher said nothing at all**. The package comment says it "warns the CUSTOMER that a filesystem is filling, BEFORE anything fails"; at a daily cadence it frequently cannot. | **OPEN — MEDIUM** | — | The reserve already computes the same numbers every run. Let the watcher share that reading rather than owning a separate daily one. | CC |

| **R-364** | **Accented-text search is an instrument that silently transforms its input, and discipline alone has failed at least three times.** (1) 2026-07-20, `ssh → pct exec → bash -c`, nearly a wrong "banner cleared" claim (`felhom-controller/.claude/rules/ui-hungarian.md:19-22`). (2) 2026-08-13, `kubectl exec … sh -c grep` returned **0 for three strings that were present**, one step from a wrongly-reported failed hub deploy. (3) 2026-08-21, `tar -tf` rendered `őszibarack.md` as `\305\221szibarack.md`; recording the fixture's name bytes from that listing would have been wrong. **NOTE: that is two inside two weeks plus the founding case a month earlier — a third inside the two-week window is not on record.** | **OPEN — LOW** | — | **PROPOSED, NOT BUILT:** a helper that refuses to report a zero for any pattern containing a byte ≥ 0x80 unless a negative control also returns zero AND an ASCII anchor known to be present returns non-zero. Three probes, one helper, no judgement at the call site — because judgement is what failed. | CC |

| **R-365** | **An overdue abandonment countdown renders its past due-date in the future tense.** With the terminal step due and the daily sweep not yet run, the card reads „A kérésed szerint a korábbi távoli mentéseidet **2026-08-20** napján véglegesen töröljük" — on 2026-08-21. The window is up to ~29 h in production (due moment → next 05:10 sweep). | **OPEN — LOW** | — | Say "due, will run at the next daily sweep" once the date has passed. | CC |

| **R-366** | **The 21 August reinstall orphaned `demo-hp`'s PBS whole-guest archives as well as its off-site repo — the box can no longer read its own pre-reinstall backups, and this surfaces only as a restore-test failure.** Hub event 3016, 2026-08-21 21:59:28Z, unprompted: `Restore-test FAILED on the pbs tier: archive felhom-pbs:backup/ct/9201/2026-08-18T03:58:43Z could not be restored+booted … proxmox-backup-client failed: Error: wrong key - unable to verify signature since manifest's key 3f:4f:65:c0:d8:f3:9f:3c does not match provided key dd:d1:d8:53:44:62:5e:0b`. The archive predates the reinstall by three days. **This is the PBS-tier analogue of R-193** (a guest rebuild mints a fresh secret and orphans the history), and the two together mean a rebuilt box loses BOTH off-premises tiers at once: the restic repo needed a self-heal + re-toggle (see the drill report), and the PBS archives are simply unreadable to it. **Credit: the restore-test caught it and said so precisely** — the mechanism works. **The gap is what it is called:** it is reported as *a restore test that failed*, which reads as a flaky verification, not as *every whole-guest backup you took before the reinstall is unreadable on this machine*. **Found incidentally by the 2026-08-21 backup-truth drill; nobody was looking for it.** | **OPEN — HIGH** | related: R-193 | Establish whether the pre-reinstall PBS archives are recoverable at all (the old key's whereabouts), and separate the two verdicts: a tier whose ARCHIVES ARE ORPHANED is a different alarm from a tier whose restore test failed. Do not close on the strength of the restore-test wording alone. | CC |

| **R-339** | **The hub was SILENT when it lost sight of the off-site stores — and a 9 h 37 m outage proved it.** Both box checkers (`OffsiteBoxChecker` over the Hetzner API, `PBSDRBoxChecker` over ep0's `usage` op) held their last snapshot and returned quietly on a failed fetch. That is **correct for a fill signal** — a missing reading must never be mistaken for 0%, which is why degraded data drives no band transition — but the consequence was that a completely dead off-site endpoint and a healthy one were **indistinguishable on the operator channel**. During the 2026-08-18 ep0 incident the hub said nothing for the entire outage; the only mails came from the boxes' own backup failures, and **only because the WEEKLY offsite run happened to fall inside the window**. Two days earlier, nothing would have fired at all | **SHIPPED — hub v0.106.0, 2026-08-18.** Reachability is now a second, independent signal: consecutive failed fetch windows counted per checker, `pbsdr_box_unreachable` / `offsite_box_unreachable` (severity `warning`) past a default **3 windows (≈30–45 min)**, with paired `*_recovered` all-clears wired into `recoveredPairedDownTypes` — necessary because both recoveries are severity `info` and `severityNotifies` drops `info`. Threshold tunable via `alerting.box_unreachable_windows`. **The fill logic is untouched**: no threshold, throttle, band or escalate-once behaviour changed. Evidence: `internal/monitor/box_reachability_test.go` (Scenarios A–F) + `internal/notify/dispatcher_box_reachability_test.go` (the cross-package wiring, asserting an actual operator mail), plus three companion red-proofs each seen failing with a message naming the right cause | — | **PROVEN-LIVE still owed.** No real or constructed outage has exercised the emit path end to end, and one cannot be manufactured without making ep0 or the Hetzner API unreachable — ep0 is Tier 2 protected, so that is forbidden. The honest route is a constructed outage against a scratch hub instance with the tenantsync client pointed at a blackholed address. **Do not close this row on the unit tests** | CC |

| **R-340** | **The new reachability check does not touch the surface that actually failed.** R-339 reports when the hub cannot READ ep0 — but the read it performs is the `usage` op, which is `proxmox-backup-manager` plus `df` over SSH, and therefore rides the **local API daemon**. The 2026-08-18 incident explicitly CLEARED that daemon: `proxmox-backup.service` was healthy throughout, and it was the **HTTPS proxy on 8007** that was wedged with a full accept queue. **So R-339's check would have returned green for all 9 h 37 m of that outage.** It closes the case where ep0 is unreachable *as a host*; it does not close the case that actually happened. This is not a defect in R-339 — it is the honest boundary of what it watches, recorded so a future reader does not mistake a green box gauge for a working off-site tier | **READY (M) — NEW 2026-08-18** | a tenantsync endpoint-script version bump (the op is added on ep0, so it needs the same version-gated rollout `ErrUsageUnsupported` already models) | Add a **health op** to `scripts/felhom-tenantsync.sh` that probes `https://127.0.0.1:8007/` on ep0 and reports the proxy's fd count and listen-queue depth, then surface it as a third signal. **Overlaps the connections spike (R-336's remaining half): both want the same observations from ep0, so whichever runs SECOND must reuse the first's evidence rather than re-measuring a protected machine twice** **REUSE, per this row's own instruction — the connections spike ran FIRST (2026-08-20) and already produced most of what the health op wants; do not re-measure a protected machine a third time.** Available in `audits/evidence-ep0-established-connections-2026-08-20/`: the proxy **fd count** and its type breakdown (`lsof` + `/proc/<pid>/fd`), the **listen-queue depth** (`ss -lnt` — `Recv-Q 0`, `Send-Q 1024`), the **ESTAB/CLOSE-WAIT split**, the **per-peer** connection histogram, a **31-minute persistence diff** of full 4-tuples, and a **46.18 h** slope with Poisson bounds. What the health op would still add beyond these: a loopback `GET https://127.0.0.1:8007/` probe — the observation that distinguished "process problem" from "network problem" on 2026-08-18 and the one thing this spike did NOT take, because it is the surface R-339 cannot see. **And this spike sharpens what the op should report:** a rising **ESTAB** count is the live signal (CLOSE-WAIT was **0**, not merely flat), and per **R-344** the fd ceiling that matters may be the **agent's**, not only ep0's. | CC |
