+# Golden 0.285.0 — baked, published and vouched 2026-10-01
+
+Baked because a new controller release (v0.285.0 — two controller versions per box, decision 56; R-751) came out, and the
+waiver ends 4 October. RUNBOOK-manual-build.md §4.0/§4.1 verbatim.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `GOLDEN_VERSION` | 0.285.0 (controller image `gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.285.0`) |
+| `GOLDEN_SHA256` | `df5ec1f297cfa8b6739d6d78101a4e6b8e2c25837b47a41b4cdb6e085741b3b3` |
+| archive | 652 743 732 B; downloaded again from Gitea and hashed: identical (`02-round-trip.txt`) |
+| template | `debian-13-standard_13.6-1_amd64.tar.zst` — after `pveam update`, `_amd64` filtered (`01-launch.txt`) |
+| bake script | felhom-agent `configs/build-golden.sh` at `main` `d766666` (clean tree) |
+| markers | `docker OK (overlay2` 1 · `including mount point` rootfs + mp0 · `upload OK (HTTP 201)` 1 · `excluding` 0 · `FATAL` 0 (`00-markers.txt`, `bake.log`) |
+| token leak | **0** in the committed `bake.log` and in every file here; the planted control read **1**; 0 in the unit's properties (`04-leak-check-and-teardown.txt`, `01-launch.txt`) |
+| teardown | CT 9100 destroyed `--purge`; token, runner and log shredded inside the VM; qemu exited; `drill.qcow2` reverted to `virgin` |
+| vouched | `Artifact manifest set: agent=0.138.0 golden=0.285.0 min_agent="0.131.0"` — three fields: agent 0.138.0 kept (≥ MinAgent), min_agent 0.131.0 from the controller CHANGELOG v0.285.0 header (`05-vouch.txt`) |
+
+No agent release: the controller's MinAgent is unchanged (0.131.0) and the vouched agent 0.138.0 satisfies it.
