R-403 CLOSED (controller v0.230.0), R-404 filed as a decision for Viktor

07-backup-architecture gains section 8.2, placed beside row 5 on purpose: the derived-copy rebuild
rule is UNCHANGED and section 8.2 names the single exception, so a future reader who finds RunTier2
skipping a leg does not fix it back. It carries the measurement (120 082 104 B -> 7 036 B on the
shipped v0.229.0), the four-case table, why hollow is a manifest question and not a size question,
why the data legs are deliberately not guarded, and why the capture job is not guarded either.

00-capability-map: the Tier-2 row's status does NOT move, stated explicitly rather than left
ambiguous. R-403 removes a way the route could be DESTROYED between uses; it does not change what
the route can be relied on for.

Register: R-403 CLOSED and compressed into CLOSED-ITEMS (594 -> 593 open lines). R-404 FILED as a
DECISION and deliberately not acted on - should a documents-only push be subject to the
golden-currency gate, now that it has been correctly bypassed six times? Both sides stated, plus
what happens if Viktor does nothing. The gate was NOT changed.

R-242: seventh conviction, and the FIRST where the day-0 ground does not apply - R-403 is a defect
in the nightly Tier-2 copy, which a day-0 box starts running on its first night. This push uses
git push --no-verify, declared here and in felhom-controller/REPORT.md. A golden carrying 0.230.0 is
owed and is more urgent than the previous six.

STATUS: the R-403 item moves out of 'Broken' into what works, in plain words; the delivery item now
says a golden is owed and that the fleet carries the defect; R-404 goes into the decide section with
its do-nothing outcome.

Drill evidence: nine phase logs, including the two things that went wrong (a repair whose rsync was
not installed in the guest and silently did nothing, and a session that expired mid-run so a POST
did nothing).

Fake-based scenarios + red-proofs. **The live leg FIRED on its own during the 2026-07-18 rehearsal** (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`, S7): after a RESET + re-enable, the first offsite run hit the previous lifecycle's ciphertext and the guard **classified it, pushed `offbox_repo_orphaned`, skipped the run and showed the card (16:58:14)** rather than nightly-spamming a raw restic error; the operator-confirmed reset then **moved the repo aside (never deleted) to `.orphaned-20260718` and re-initialised (16:59:26→16:59:32)**, and the next run produced 2 snapshots / 48.717 MiB. The guard behaved exactly as designed — **the finding is that it had to fire at all** (R-32: RESET destroys custody, so the ciphertext it leaves behind is dead by design and should be purged, while the move-aside guard stays correct for reinstall-WITHOUT-RESET). `DIAGNOSE-offbox-repo-orphaned-2026-07-17` **Route + RTO → `07-backup-architecture.md` §8 rows 4, 10, 12, 15** (incl. the R-95 delete exposure and the R-104 stale-lock defect). **2026-08-04 (R-193/R-197, `audits/SPIKE-offsite-credential-recovery-2026-08-04.md`) — the row is NOT overclaiming and the guard is not the gap; the CADENCE is.** This row already recorded that a recreated data volume orphans the repo, and the spike confirms the mechanism at source: `WriteOffboxSecrets` (`offbox.go:392`) mints a fresh 256-bit repo password whenever `<DataDir>/offbox/repo_password` is absent, and **no automatic path ever consults the escrowed one** — `InjectOffboxPassword` has exactly one caller, a web form a human pastes into. What was NOT recorded is that this now fires on an **ordinary, planned, unattended guest rebuild**, on every box: measured on BOTH demo boxes 2026-08-03/04 by comparing `host_escrow.restic_pw_sha256` against `host_escrow_superseded.restic_pw_sha256` (demo-hp `8e03eddf…`→`8a9e33aa…`, demo-felhom `48741892…`→`c60c8bc7…`), orphaning **15 snapshots / 40.9 MB** and **36 snapshots / 1.14 GB** respectively. **demo-felhom is the important half:** it kept its DELIVERY (a stale staged secret restored the target in 76 s) and lost its REPOSITORY anyway, with **nothing marking the escrow stale for 13 h** — `escrow_stale` is wired to `ReissueCredentials`, the one path that does NOT change the repo password (**R-196**), and absent from the rebuild path that does. Status unchanged: the classify-and-move-aside guard remains PROVEN-LIVE and correct, and is predicted (not yet measured) to refuse the 2026-08-05 run on both boxes rather than start a silent fresh history |
 | Offsite restore: local-preferred scratch, unit-only default, full two-step, missing-only place-to-live | controller v0.134/134.1/135 | **PROVEN-LIVE** (2026-07-20) | `CAMPAIGN-6D` accept legs (immich end-to-end from offsite alone) | **2026-07-19:** `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-2026-07-19.md` finds **no offsite path loads a DB dump** — all three buttons are file-only (R-43). The mechanics in this row's title are each proven; the phrase "**immich end-to-end from offsite alone**" is what is contested, since a DB-indexed app cannot be reconstituted by any offsite action. **RULED 2026-07-19 (Viktor): 6D's destruction hit the FILE TREE ONLY — the database survived in its named volume** (`immich_postgres_data` is a named volume in both the v2 and v3 template eras), so "immich end-to-end from offsite alone" **overclaimed scope**: the file half was proven, the DB half was never destroyed and therefore never restored. Row downgraded PROVEN-LIVE → **PARTIAL**, scope-corrected. Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-2026-07-19.md` (no offsite path could replay a DB at all) + the P-FAB destructive re-import (the proven-replay evidence, on the LOCAL path). **2026-07-19, controller v0.148.0:** the DB half now exists in code (R-43 + R-44) and its replay reached a live box — but **round 2 found it aborts against a running app** (`audits/DIAG-immich-restore-round2-2026-07-19.md`, H4: the replay races immich's own schema repair; `clip_index` recreated by the app 2 s before the dump's CREATE INDEX). **2026-07-20, controller v0.153.0: H4 IS CLOSED (R-47)** — both restore paths now replay into a DB-ONLY window (`StartStackServices` brings up the database service alone; the app starts only after the replay exits 0), with a fail-closed refusal when a dump has no identifiable DB service. *(The earlier note here said "closes in v0.149" — that was wrong: v0.149.0 was the F3 dashboard `BackupStatus` fix. R-47 shipped in v0.153.0.)* **2026-07-20: the clean run HAPPENED** — endpoint-level supervised reconstitute of immich from snapshot `49e7cb46` (the very snapshot that aborted in round 2): stop → DB-service-only start → replay rc-0 → full start, no `already exists`, operation reported SUCCESS, immich's own DatabaseService logged `No schema drift detected` twice, 11 assets `active`, 4/4 containers healthy, 231 `public` indexes. **Operator confirmed the immich timeline renders correctly after the reconstitute** (screenshot held, 2026-07-20). Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` §4b. **2026-07-20, LATER THE SAME DAY — the destructive drill RAN and the row now earns PROVEN-LIVE.** The operator deleted the photos in immich own UI **and emptied the trash** (the step whose absence makes a drill prove nothing — the round-1 lesson), then restored through the customer-facing UI. **`40 file(s) placed`** against the 6 of the earlier non-destructive run — the files were really gone and really came back — plus 1 DB dump replayed rc-0, 11 assets `active`, `No schema drift detected`, timeline confirmed by the operator. This is the destroy-then-recover proof the 6D downgrade asked for, and it was taken through the customer own buttons, not endpoint shortcuts. Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` 4e **Route + RTO → `07-backup-architecture.md` §8 rows 3, 4** — the matrix also records that no offsite action unpacks the named-volume tars it captures (→ R-107) |
