Found during v0.118.0's own live proof, which is the only reason it was found:
I went to press "send test notification" for the English demo box and read
sendTestEmail first.
It had its own hardcoded Hungarian subject and body and never went through
FormatCustomerEmail, so it was the one customer mail v0.118.0 did not localise
— and it is the only customer mail an operator can trigger on demand, which
makes it the one most likely to be used to check whether the localisation
works. Pressing the button for an English household would have answered that
question wrongly, and convincingly.
The two sentences are extracted byte-for-byte into the bundle, so the Hungarian
test mail is unchanged. Red-proofed against the hardcoded version.
The general form worth keeping: the surface you would use to CHECK a feature is
the one most worth checking first. A broken instrument that reports success is
worse than a broken feature.

The hub has written every customer e-mail in Hungarian whatever the box was set
to. The box has published its language since controller v0.247.0; nothing read
it. Now it does.
Nothing an operator reads changes. The Hungarian mails are byte-identical, and
that is a diff rather than a reading: 56 goldens per language captured from
v0.117.0 BEFORE any string moved, and all 56 Hungarian ones pass unchanged after
every sentence was routed through the new bundle.
- internal/i18n: flat bundle, 79 keys, hu authoritative + hu fallback, ceiling 0.
- customerMessages/severityLabels are DERIVED from the bundle, so a sentence is
written in one place and all 40+ tests that read those maps still work.
- Language order: last reported -> created-with -> hu. reports.language defaults
to EMPTY, never hu: "never told us" is not "chose Hungarian".
- message_customer on POST /api/v1/event, additive and optional forever, for the
sentences the box composes and the hub cannot translate.
- The bind page is per-language, and its `expired` state stays Hungarian: it is
the state an unknown token lands in, so rendering a real English customer's
token in English would make the LANGUAGE answer what the TEXT refuses to.
Two defects found inside the release:
- R-581: the newest report was picked by received_at, which has SECOND
granularity, so same-second reports tied and the winner was arbitrary. Ordered
by the autoincrement id now. GetCustomers() still has the shape - row open.
- R-582: the English copy-guard stems, ported word for word from Hungarian,
convicted 141 honest sentences. The English claim is a phrase with a modal.
R-555 closed: the language allowlist entry is out of wire_contract_gate.py.
hub_copy_gate.py follows the sentences into the bundle - without that it would
have scanned four files that no longer hold any customer text and reported
success. Three new decoys incl. an innocent control.

Three report cycles instead of two. The chaos-night round-9 measurement: cadence
15m, a failed push retried for ~100 s, a 29m59s gap against a 30m threshold -
one second from paging the operator about a healthy, self-repaired box.
node_down and host_down move to 90m with it (2x). The same release makes the
dashboard's customer status read this value instead of a hardcoded 30m.

Controller v0.231.0 adds a nightly job that proves an app's newest off-site snapshot still
CONTAINS that app's data. When it finds one that does not, it emits offsite_proof_empty.
Two register lines, both load-bearing and both in this commit:
- allowedEventTypes - an unallowlisted type is answered 400 and VANISHES, so this entry is
what makes the alarm exist at all.
- operatorOnlyEvents - a missing customerMessages entry is NOT a routing block
(FormatCustomerEmail falls back to the raw message, the v0.78.0 defect that register was
built for). A customer can take no action on a hollow recovery unit.
DELIBERATELY NOT reusing backup_integrity_failed, which is the nearest existing type: it
means THE STORE IS DAMAGED and carries the Hungarian template saying so. Here the store is
sound and the CONTENT is absent - different cause, different action, and telling a customer
their backups are damaged when they are not is the more expensive mistake. Same asymmetry
looksLikeRepositoryDamage is shaped around.
DELIBERATELY no customerMessages entry (the controller's dynamic Hungarian names the app and
what is missing; a template would discard it) and DELIBERATELY not in perAppCooldownEvents
(a fenced act - this job proves ONE app per night, so the coarse hourly cooldown is already
the right grain).
This widens the R-87 task's stated repo scope to felhom.eu/hub/. The reason is recorded in
felhom-controller/CONTEXT.md ruling 4 rather than left as an unexplained diff.
Hub green gate: go build/vet/test all pass, 18 packages.
