Let a customer bind their own freshly-installed appliance without the
operator: operator "Send self-bind link" mints a 7-day tokenized
capability link, emailed (Hungarian, sibling sender) to the customer, who
opens a public /bind/<token> page and proves two factors — the console
pairing code shown on the box screen + their retrieval passphrase — and
the hub stages the bind via the same BindAppliance (provenance
customer_selfbind). The box's ~30s appliance poll delivers.
Viktor's three rulings verbatim: console pairing code (no appliance list
ever rendered), operator-sent tokenized link, 5-attempt lockout ->
"call support". Wrong code == wrong passphrase (one generic failure, no
oracle, both factors compared unconditionally); expiry falls back to
operator-bind unchanged.
THE TRAP: one public prefix /bind/, exempt from auth+CSRF at both /login
gate sites via a single isPublicBindPath predicate (tight trailing-slash
match; ServeMux ..-cleans; handler rejects '/' in token). 9 tests
(Scenarios A-F + F1/F2); 4 red-proofs verified red-then-green (lockout,
oracle, widened-prefix, single-active). GC verdict: no appliance GC ->
the 7-day TTL stands alone. Controller/agent untouched; R-27b deferred.
Green: full hub build/vet/test (17 ok) + bash -n + hub confirm gate.

A generic ISO carries NO customer secret. The box registers itself at the hub
as an unclaimed appliance; the operator binds it to a customer; the hub delivers
the customer-id + retrieval passphrase ONCE; day-0 completes via the slice-A path.
Hub (v0.62.0):
- store/appliance.go: appliance_registrations keyed by (uuid, mac_set) — MAC set
is the tiebreaker (duplicate SMBIOS UUIDs); token stored as sha256 only.
Idempotent register (sticky-discard), atomic one-shot delivery, bind/discard.
- api/appliance.go: POST /appliance/register (the one unauth endpoint, per-IP
rate-limited, 256-bit token); GET /appliance/poll (404 no-oracle / 204 unbound
/ 200 deliver-once / 410 delivered). Passphrase read live, never logged.
- web/appliances.go: Hosts-page "Unclaimed appliances" section + BIND (customer
picker, host count display-only) + DISCARD; SSH host-key fingerprints; events.
- Red-proofs: one-shot delivery + register idempotency (both proven red);
404-no-oracle, sticky-discard, bind staging, render. Green + confirm gate.
Scripts (v1.19.0):
- felhom-bootstrap.sh: ONE unit, TWO modes. Direct (env has customer/passphrase)
= slice-A path, byte-identical, only branched around. Pairing (generic) =
register + poll (RestartSec=30 is the poll timer); on delivery write the env
0600 and fall through to direct. Secrets + token shredded on success.
- build-felhom-iso.sh --pairing: generic secret-free ISO, -generic filename,
manifest mode=pairing. profiles/generic.profile (new).
- test/bootstrap-modes.sh: Scenario D (direct = zero appliance calls) + pairing
register/poll + delivery handoff — all green in a debian container.
Closes N100 F1 (HIGH): cheap AMI (AN3PLUS 0.01-class) UEFI firmware can't
relocate the ISO's stock signed GRUB from USB (relocation 0x0). The run's live
grub-mkimage workaround is now a first-class pipeline mode.
- build-felhom-iso.sh: --loader shim|mkimage (default shim, byte-for-byte
unchanged; profile-settable FELHOM_LOADER; --loader wins). Loud banner +
manifest loader:/grub-mkimage: fields + -mkimage filename suffix.
- mkimage-surgery.sh (new): post-prepare-iso, in the assistant container. Builds
a monolithic grub-mkimage loader from the ISO's own GRUB (module set from its
grub.cfg; embedded search --fs-uuid -> configfile the real menu). Swaps it into
the ISO9660 tree (real lowercase path) + the efi.img ESP; xorriso re-master
preserves BIOS-hybrid + UEFI + GPT-ESP, drops only Apple HFS+/APM. Recipe from
the N100 run evidence, not re-derived.
- Dockerfile.assistant: grub-common + grub-efi-amd64-bin + mtools + dosfstools.
profiles/n100.profile (new, mkimage + SB-off note).
- Validated on nested VM 311 (RUNBOOK-B legs): leg1 shim boots+installs under
OVMF SB-enforcing + SeaBIOS; leg2 mkimage boots+installs under SB-off; leg3
(red-proof) mkimage under SB-enforcing FAILS Access Denied (unsigned -> SB must
be OFF); leg4 surgery byte-identical payload. bash -n + shellcheck clean.
Physical N100 closure folds into the rehearsal (n100-safety match-nothing ISO
built + sha-recorded, unbooted). PXE stays a deferred R-21 note.
scripts/iso/: a DooPlex pipeline (build-felhom-iso.sh + Dockerfile.assistant) that
turns the official PVE ISO into a Felhom auto-install ISO whose first-boot stub
installs a retry-forever felhom-bootstrap unit which unattended-fetches
felhom-host-install.sh from the public felhom.eu/scripts channel and runs it until the
host is enrolled + a guest provisioned. host-install is UNMODIFIED (invoked only).
- build gates the answer on validate-answer OUTPUT text, never $? (spike S1 exit-0 trap)
- stub is from-iso, fully-up, exactly-once; retry unit owns all network work (S8a)
- retry-vs-resume encoded once: plain first, --resume when install state exists (v1.11.3)
- secret-bearing (embeds the retrieval passphrase): supervised/single-use; env shredded on success
Validated on VM 310: build gate + red-proof, disk-filter fail-safe, chain + retry,
resume-decision, exactly-once, no-net retry+recovery. Terminal host-install rc-0 success
operator-gated (drill customer needs the password-gated create-UI). scripts v1.16.0;
ROADMAP R-21 -> in-progress. Detail in REPORT.md.
The NAS verify pipeline (agent v0.81.0) reads mount-unit journals unprivileged
— group membership, NO sudoers grant. Fixes the v1.11.0/1.12.0 header drift.
New authoritative feature doc documentation/controller/network-storage-nas.md
(verify pipeline, §8 truth table, Q4 error taxonomy, retry=0, Route A recipes
incl. the chmod-persists nuance).

Uninstall: NEW 4b4 removes the self-update artifacts (guarded wrapper,
.prev/.new.* A/B slots, rollback unit, limits drop-in — derived from
configs/felhom-selfupdate-guarded); enrolled drives under /mnt/felhom-drives
unmounted plain-umount-only (busy = warn+guidance, never -l/-f; root bind
guarded); both modes end with a KEPT-vs-WIPED statement (drives/PBS/hub
record/escrow/vaulted recovery credential live on); guest-only mode prints
the vmid's bind-store drives.
Key-pin: OPERATOR_KEY_* constants (empty until the operator ceremony) +
--operator-pubkey-file (argv-validated; comment=key_id required; file
overrides constants) -> authz.signers per the agent SignerKey schema;
no-keys-resolved KEEPS preserved signers; verify reports armed/dormant WARN.
Harness: +13 static cases + GL4-D parity + GL4-INV + PVE-tier GL4 H-U
(full-uninstall dry transcript vs live 9201). 28/28 on felhom-pve;
red-proofs RP-1..3 run->fail->revert. GO-LIVE-PACKAGE.md ABSENT AGAIN ->
status in CONTEXT.md. Live teardown/armed-pin = GL-6.

Records the settled transport decisions (plain WG, host-side agent-managed pilot,
one hub-driven endpoint VM running WG+PBS, hub source-of-truth over WireDesiredState,
one datastore + per-customer namespaces, relay-through-DooPlex rejected). Grounded
at file:line vs felhom.eu@bf099f6 + felhom-agent@4ba1b14. Backlog line resolved to
cite spike + design doc. Docs-only; slices are separate future tasks.

P0-P7 probe ladder on real ends (demo-felhom PVE host <-> throwaway Hetzner).
Verdict: GO at H1 — plain host-side WG, box-dials-out to a small public endpoint;
Headscale is a separable fleet layer, not a traversal necessity. Line is plain-NAT
(not CGNAT) with zero IPv6 — recorded honestly; CGNAT vantage deferred to Peti VM 110.
Real 2 GiB worst-case PBS backup over the tunnel at the full home uplink, pin intact.

Companion to felhom-agent v0.62.0: the stale-lock reaper reads GET /pools/felhom
as its ownership registry. Pool.Allocate does NOT satisfy the read (spike T2).
Idempotent upgrade via --rescope-acl (_ensure_role modifies to the exact set).
Rescope FIRST, agent second. + REUSE §2 errata: gitea-creds is NOT out-of-band
(committed in felhom.secret.yaml, live-consumed — rotation pending).

Live-probed on felhom-pve under the PRODUCTION scoped token vs root:
enumeration IS pool-filtered (T1: token sees [9201] of 4 guests); pool read
403s naming Pool.Audit (T2); Pool.Audit@/pool/felhom alone suffices (T3,
throwaway identity, torn down); /cluster/resources withholds the pool field
without Pool.Audit (T7); local ownership records all partial (T5).
Recommendation for the A1 impl spec (now unblocked): Pool.Audit added to
FelhomAgentGuest + GET /pools/felhom cross-check in staleLockController,
fail-safe skip on read failure. Appendix: committed-secrets rotation
micro-runbook (operator follow-up).

step_agent_install now fetches configs/felhom-mkfs-guarded.sh (bash -n validated)
and installs it 0755 root to /usr/local/sbin/felhom-mkfs-guarded BEFORE the
sudoers (which — from agent v0.54.0 — allowlists only the wrapper, not raw mkfs,
plus read-only pvs/zpool). Live-validated on felhom-pve. bash -n + shellcheck clean.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
step_token now grants 3 scoped roles (Guest@/pool/felhom incl. Pool.Allocate,
Store@each PVE_STORAGES incl. felhom-pbs, Base=Sys.Audit+SDN.Use@/) to both user
and token, pool-before-token, and removes any pre-3b broad / grant. New
--rescope-acl migrates existing installs (add-before-remove; supervised).
--uninstall removes both scoped + old shapes. Post-provision pool_add_guest
dropped (agent restore --pool owns membership, v0.53.0). Validated dry-run on
felhom-pve; bash -n + shellcheck clean. LIVE rescope+swap is the supervised STOP.

Every managed guest joins a dedicated `felhom` pool (fleet uniformity; foundation
for the later pool-scoped ACL). All pool ops run as root@pam from the installer —
NO agent/token/ACL change (PVE_PRIVS untouched). step_provision creates the pool
+ adds the guest; new --adopt-pool retrofits existing guests non-destructively
(ours-checked, membership-only); --uninstall deletes the pool only if empty.
Confirmed pveum pool / /pools syntax live; validated dry-run + SAFE live adopt of
9201 on felhom-pve. bash -n + shellcheck clean.

Optional --cores N / --memory M (MiB) passed through to the agent's
--selftest=provision as -cores/-memory ONLY when set (0/unset = golden default;
avoids unknown-flag death on an agent < v0.52.0). Pre-flight soft WARN when a cap
exceeds host nproc/MemTotal. Validated dry-run on felhom-pve. bash -n + shellcheck
clean. Deploy dependency: hub artifact manifest must serve agent >= v0.52.0.

Colleague-safety batch #1+#2 (script-only). Adds a guarded, dry-run-aware
--uninstall local host teardown (guest -> agent -> pveum(ACL,token,user,role)
-> golden(opt-in) -> state file), with ours-check on the /etc/felhom-bootstrap
mount, typed vmid confirm, other-Felhom-guests safe-skip, and idempotent
tolerate-absent. Records customer_id + provisioned_vmid into the install state
(_state_put/_state_get) so uninstall resolves its target automatically. Adds
three provision pre-flight guards: multi-node (--node required), archive-storage
exists, and a RAM-floor WARN. Validated dry-run-only on felhom-pve.

Part A (hub): move the global-floor + Day-0-artifacts cards from the Customers
page to the Configuration tab; routes → /configuration/{global-floor,artifacts};
redirects + flashes to /configuration. Customers page back to list + Add.
Part B: online setup command on the customer page (download-then-run, passphrase
at prompt, not templated); serve /scripts/ from the website (sparse-checkout +
nginx location) so felhom.eu/scripts/felhom-host-install.sh resolves; script
passphrase prompt reads < /dev/tty (works for pipe-to-bash too).
Part C (script): --vmid auto-detect — default 9201 in use + no --force → pick the
next free id from pct+qm and confirm; explicit --vmid stays die-unless-force.

Install + configure + verify the agent (incl. golden fetch+verify) without
provisioning a guest — for re-installing/upgrading the agent on a host with live
guests, and the agent-only live test. Adds step_verify_agent (binary + non-root
service active + --selftest=hub).

Operator-run Day-0 automation for a fresh PVE host: pveum token -> hub
POST /host-enroll (single secret, option C) -> agent config -> felhom-agent
--selftest=provision -> verify. Idempotent/resumable (state.json), --dry-run,
--resume, --force, --preserve-from; --mode dr is a documented 10D stub.
Live-validated on felhom-pve: authorized wipe of demo guest 9201 + full
re-provision from the golden -> controller config-pull + public tunnel HTTP 200
+ host-report of 9201; idempotent --resume no-op. Found+fixed one ordering bug
during the run (token ACL must be applied AFTER token rotation — token-remove
purges the ACL).
Adds scripts/README.md (operator runbook) + scripts/CHANGELOG.md; REPORT
overwritten; spike doc pointer added. No service code changed.
