 | **R-982** | Box system & updates | P3 | **The Proxmox host accepts root password login over SSH from the LAN (measured on demo-hp), so anyone on the household network can try the root password.** Design-shaped: the break-glass password exists for the console.

 | **R-979** | Box system & updates | P3 | **Controller updates are trusted by registry tag alone (no digest, no signature), and the Update button offers any newer tag, even an unvouched one; the built-in traefik, cloudflared and FileBrowser images are also pinned by tag only.** Whoever can push to the registry decides what runs. Fix: pin by digest from the hub's vouched list; offer only vouched versions.

 | **R-974** | Box system & updates | P3 | **A compromised host agent can likely become root on the host through the root wrapper that applies PBS settings: the wrapper accepts a folder path inside the agent's own writable tree and then acts on it as root.** Static (the symlink behaviour was reasoned, not run). Same class as R-861. Fix: a fixed root-owned folder, and refuse symlinks before any root action.

 | **R-862** | Box system & updates | P3 | **Tester 2 cannot take the config bundle until one by-hand bootstrap is done: its `felhom-os-apply` (agent 0.142.0) predates the bundle mode, and no signed job can write a root file on it.** FOUND 2026-10-04 (R-840 build, Part C): the route reaches every box installed from installer 1.31.0 on, and the demo boxes (bootstrapped by CC); Tester 2 has every root file of agent 0.142.0 (installer 1.30.0) and lacks only the R-858 wrapper fix, which matters only for a Docker step it gets solely from a signed job. CC has no route to Tester 2 (its door admits only the operator's WireGuard peer; `felhom-op` cannot become root). The steps: `runbooks/config-bundle.md` "Tester 2". Then CC signs the bundle and reads it back. | **WAITING-ON-OPERATOR** — the operator said (2026-10-04 ~19:05) he will try through his tunnel **2026-10-07 07:58 (`09` §3 decision 170): the operator believes Tester 2 never set up the off-site backup (no escrow); the laptop may stay off for days; the tester plans to add an HDD.** **2026-10-07 (Part H, read only):** in Tester 2's last 10 notifications (2026-10-05 09:16 → 2026-10-07 06:58) the household got 0 mails, the operator 10 (host_down ×9, expected_dbdump_missed ×1); control: the household channel shows on the other three customers.

 | **R-78** | Box system & updates | P3 | **`local_api` authority ruling — auto-reconcile vs detect-only** **MIGRATED FROM `ROADMAP.md` 2026-08-22 (R-369) — originally filed 2026-07-25, size M, roadmap state `idea (deferred OUT of R-77 on purpose)`.** Moved verbatim; nothing added or reinterpreted. The roadmap keeps its copy as history, marked moved. **An OWED OPERATOR DECISION, not a defect — moved because an owed ruling hidden among feature ideas is the shape this session exists to remove.** | **OPEN — migrated from ROADMAP 2026-08-22, rank unchanged** | — | R-77 ships detection because the fix is genuinely undecided, and **both directions can lose customer-visible function**. **Direction 1 (today):** `controller.yaml` wins and drift is silent → the 2026-07-25 island migration blinded the whole fleet's control plane for 17.5 h (drive gate, guest-reboot recovery, quiesce/backup all degrade). R-77 makes that loud but does not stop it recurring. **Direction 2 (`bootstrap.json` wins, auto-reconcile on boot):** a guest whose `controller.yaml` is CORRECT and whose `bootstrap.json` is stale — a half-completed re-provision, a hand-repaired guest, a setup-wizard box — gets a **working channel clobbered on the next restart**, fleet-wide and silently, during a routine deploy. That is not obviously better than the bug. Needs a spike: which writer is authoritative per field (endpoint vs fingerprint vs token — `mergeLocalAPI` replaces the whole block, so they cannot be reconciled independently today), whether the agent side should stamp a generation/mtime so 'newer wins' is even expressible, and whether reconcile should require an operator ack. Until then the drift alert plus a manual edit is the supported path. | CC |
 | **R-468** | Box system & updates | P3 | **[P3-LOW] THE GOLDEN WAIVER — goldens on a cadence, not per release (operator ruling 2026-09-13).** 25 goldens in 26 days in August, almost one per release, because `golden_currency_gate.py` trips on every release by design and the only honest ways past it were a bake or a declared `--no-verify` (thirteen by 2026-09-01, R-404/R-417). **The ruling: bake WEEKLY, and always before any drill or fresh install.** Every release still raises the FLOOR, so both demo boxes keep getting each release in ~20 s; only the golden — which protects a fresh install and nothing else — moves to a cadence. **The mechanism (built 2026-09-13):** `documentation/tests/golden-waiver. **⚠ CORRECTED THE SAME DAY (R-472): between bakes the floor does NOT carry a release — the hub holds any floor above the vouched golden (publish-train rule 1), so releases between bakes reach the demo boxes only by hand-deploy.**yml`, four lines (`issued`, `expires`, `reason`, `register_row: R-468`), read by the gate. While valid, a golden BEHIND the record makes the gate print a loud ADVISORY and exit 0; when it expires the gate is red again until someone bakes or renews. **The 14-day cap is enforced by the gate, not the runbook** — a longer, undated, unparseable, reason-less or row-less waiver is INCONCLUSIVE (exit 2), never 0 and never silently ignored. **It never covers a golden that is UNRECORDED (R-385)** — that is not a cadence choice. **A dated waiver cannot be forgotten; it just expires** — the difference from R-242's original rule, which recurred the day after it was written. Tests: `scripts/test_golden_currency_gate.py` cases 5–15 (E/F/G/H, a 15-day, absent, unparseable, bad-row and empty-reason waiver each 2; the R-421 decoy — a file saying only `expires` — 2). **This is a PRE-CUSTOMER arrangement: the first external install retires it** (delete the file in that commit). Cadence written into `RUNBOOK-manual-build.md` §4.2 and the `felhom.eu` end-of-session checklist. **Does NOT touch R-242's open half (nothing gates the VOUCH).** **2026-10-15 (`09` §3 decision 250, operator):** the cadence is now the RULE, not a waiver — a controller release needs no golden (the floor carries it), the golden is baked every Sunday night when the floor is above it (`runbooks/nightly-rotation.md`), and `golden_currency_gate.py` convicts only a golden MORE THAN 7 DAYS old while a release is ahead (CASE 18–21, red-proved). The waiver file stays as a dated exception for a missed Sunday. | **WATCHING** — the weekly bake is a night-routine step; the first external install still retires the waiver arrangement | — | — | CC |
