gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
- OPEN-ITEMS: R-196 CLOSED; R-204 items 1-3 CLOSED with item 4 named and
  its dependency stated. Header restates that R-202, the 1.2 GB ciphertext
  deletion and R-198's still-unit-proven retention all REMAIN OPEN.
- capability map: the recovery row keeps its 'with a person present'
  qualifier, names which crutch remains, and cites the three now gone.
- 07-backup-architecture: new 7.0 - what a customer can and cannot do
  ALONE, the four steps in a table with status. This is the section a
  future reader will use to answer that question.
- CONTEXT: standing ruling S-32, superseding S-31 steps 2-5.
- STATUS: rewritten to one screen per its own header; removes a corrupted
  half-overwritten section left from the drill session.
- ROADMAP: R-196 and R-204 collapsed.

admin 91cabdde1b hub v0.93.0: the retention keeps the key it was built to keep (R-198) + three honesty fixes (R-197, R-192, R-196)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
R-198 — host_escrow_superseded shipped with `blob` (the K-escrow / PBS datastore key) and
identity_blob was added to host_escrow LATER, never here. The offsite restic REPOSITORY
password lives in identity_blob. So demoteCurrentEscrowTx -- whose own comment calls it "THE
ONE escrow row-copy routine" -- retained the whole-guest key and silently dropped the off-site
data key, which is the secret the retention was built to preserve. And because the copy happens
as the new blob overwrites the old, the destroying act was the ESCROW CEREMONY: the exact thing
a rebuilt box tells its customer to run, on a card promising in Hungarian that the old backups
stay recoverable. Both demo boxes crossed that line on 2026-08-04.

  - identity_blob added to the table (CREATE + additive ALTER) and carried in the shared copy
    routine, so BOTH callers are fixed at once: re-escrow and host-delete demotion.
  - ListSupersededEscrow reads it back; store.HostEscrow gains IdentityBlob.
  - CountCurrentEscrowWithIdentity is the census of who the fix protects.
  - Nothing is backfillable: pre-v0.93.0 retained rows have no blob and their sources are gone.
  - Tests assert the CONSEQUENCE (a retained row can still yield a repo password), which is why
    the pre-existing retention test stayed green for two months asserting the mechanism.

R-197 — SaveHostEscrow returns the hash it replaced; the escrow PUT raises
offsite_repo_key_changed (warning, operator-only, edge-triggered) when both hashes are known and
differ. No hash value travels. Severity chosen for the world v0.93.0 creates: with the identity
blob retained, a changed key is "this history now depends on an older recovery code", not a loss.

R-192 (half) — the stuck alert now reports the two shapes it actually covers, burned and
regressed, each stating its own measurement; the regressed text withdraws the Re-issue
recommendation. Every self-heal refusal leaves a notification_log row with its reason. The
guard's logic is unchanged; its 500-oldest-reports scoping stays OPEN and the window is named in
the alert text so the limitation travels with the number. offsite_delivery_stuck and
offsite_credential_restaged are added to operatorOnlyEvents -- neither was registered and neither
has a customerMessages entry, which is not a block.

R-196 — five comments (not the three the spec expected) claimed ReissueCredentials rotates the
restic repo password. It resets the PROVIDER password and cannot touch the repo password, which
is generated on the box. All five corrected; the staleness mark documented as precautionary. The
BEHAVIOUR stays open.

Not in this release: R-199, R-200, R-201 remain open -- the chain that hands the key back is
still unassembled. Part 5 hit its gate; the orphan card is untouched (R-202).

admin 3f2b7bc023 RECON: trace the offsite DR chain link by link — it does not join up (R-198..R-201)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
Read-only recon of the escrow -> recovery chain, from a dead node to an open
repository. No production code, no build, no version bump.

Headline: the hub's superseded-escrow retention does NOT retain the offsite
repository password. host_escrow_superseded has no identity_blob column and
demoteCurrentEscrowTx copies only the K-escrow blob, so what survives a
supersession is the PBS datastore key, not the restic repo password. The next
escrow ceremony -- which the system tells a rebuilt box's customer to run --
destroys the last copy. Both demo boxes crossed that line on 2026-08-04.

Also established:
- the hub's blob-serving endpoints (re-enroll / restore-directive) have zero
  callers anywhere: agent, hub UI, scripts, runbooks (R-199)
- POST /backup/offbox/inject-password is routed and handled but no template
  contains the form (R-200)
- nothing in the recovery path has ever been exercised; the one live
  round-trip proof (2026-06-10) predates the ResticRepoPassword field (R-201)
- a fail-closed mint refusal IS implementable: the report ACK already carries
  escrow{identity_blob_present, restic_pw_sha256} and the controller discards
  it whenever no offbox target exists

Corrections: yesterday's spike annotated (candidate (b) overturned in part --
unattended recovery is impossible, customer-present is not); capability-map
retention claim struck through and replaced with what the code does.

Deliverable: documentation/audits/RECON-offsite-dr-chain-2026-08-04.md
Register: new R-198..R-201; R-193 and R-192 updated; STATUS.md refreshed.

admin 7fff45d688 R-195: a customer with no machine ever bound does not alarm (hub v0.92.0) + R-193/R-192 spike
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
Part 4 (ships): `david` — a prospective customer with hosts=0, host_deletions=0,
reports=0 — e-mailed an expected_dbdump_missed ERROR at 03:00 UTC three mornings
running. The existing down-skip could never cover it: it reads the staleness
checker's state, which is seeded from a query over the `reports` table, so a
customer that never reported has no state at all and GetState() returns "" rather
than "down". store.HasEverBoundHost (hosts row OR host_deletions tombstone) is
consulted once per customer at the top of the deadline loop. The discriminator is
"was a host EVER bound", never "has a report arrived" — a box installed and never
heard from is a real fault and keeps alarming. Fail-OPEN on a read error. Red-proof
observed: removing the guard fails with `got [expected_dbdump_missed]`, verbatim the
event david sent.

Parts 0-3 (spike, NO production code for R-193/R-192):
audits/SPIKE-offsite-credential-recovery-2026-08-04.md establishes that the one-shot
provider password is the RECOVERABLE secret and the restic repository password is the
irreplaceable one — and that a guest rebuild mints a fresh one, orphaning the previous
off-site history. Measured without touching a box, by comparing
host_escrow.restic_pw_sha256 against host_escrow_superseded: BOTH demo boxes changed
(demo-hp 15 snapshots / 40.9 MB, demo-felhom 36 snapshots / 1.14 GB). demo-felhom's
"lucky" 76-second recovery restored delivery and not the repository, silently, for 13h.
ReissueCredentials does NOT rotate the restic password (R-39's record and two hub
comments are wrong -> R-196); candidate (b) is not implementable against a
zero-knowledge escrow; candidate (a) already exists as F3 and is wired to the wrong
event. Ends in ranked options and an unanswered question for the operator.

R-195 SHIPPED; R-196 + R-197 filed; R-192 + R-193 updated, neither closed.

admin a684a81796 docs: R-191 closed, R-190 mitigation shipped (mechanism open), R-194 filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
R-191: the gate was run first and it mattered — ep0's prune jobs have run daily
since 2026-07-27 (18 tasks, all OK). THREE of my own queries said the opposite and
all three were broken instruments (worker-type vs worker_type, prune vs prunejob,
proxmox-backup vs proxmox-backup-proxy); acting on any would have disabled the only
pruning attempt while reporting that nothing prunes.

R-190: the row now reflects the MITIGATION, not the cause, and says so. Includes
that v0.124.0's transition record failed in production while every unit test
passed, and Part 3's single pass — the token-rotation class is real and documented
in our own installer but does not fit this box (same token still authenticates, the
other three grants survived, no installer run evidenced); ruled out on this box, not
fleet-wide.

R-194: PVE caches permissions (~40s and ~16min measured), so a single permission
read is a lagging indicator and may explain when R-190's refusal surfaced.

07-backup-architecture: the offsite retention row was RIGHT and the configuration
disagreed with it — noted, since a doc that states a contract does not enforce it.
2026-08-04 10:04:25 +02:00
admin d692c46db0 RUNBOOK: the host tier is restore-PROVEN unattended on both demo boxes
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
Four SCHEDULED runs, none triggered by hand: demo-felhom host 83.8s / offsite
540.4s; demo-hp host 109.3s / offsite 300.1s. Each restored into a scratch guest,
booted, verified and destroyed itself; zero 990000 guests or volumes afterwards
and both local-lvm figures returned to their pre-run values.

Both boxes had BOTH tiers due at once, so R-86's ordering was observed live for
the first time: never-proven sorted first, each box took its HOST tier, deferred
the offsite one, and picked it up on the next evaluation six hours later. The
host-tier proofs reached the hub through R-189's merge — demo-felhom's report
carries two tiers, and the local one can only have come from disk.

The capability map's optimistic half is cashed, with its scope stated: these two
boxes, not the fleet.

Surfaced and filed rather than fixed:
- R-190: a storage ACL that demonstrably worked at 04:44 was gone by 09:24, with
  a reinstall, any logged pveum activity and any cluster-log entry ruled out.
- R-191: every weekly offsite backup uploads successfully and then fails the job
  on a prune the box is deliberately not allowed to do (R-89 moved it
  server-side; both boxes still arm keep_last=2).

Two corrections to yesterday's record: the R-185 drift DID surface as 403s on the
write path (six, with the hub raising whole_guest_backup_failed at the first), and
my earlier "no restore_test_* events" was produced by grepping a 404 page.

admin e3187c86d5 docs: R-185 closed — the silence as well as the grant
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
- OPEN-ITEMS: R-185 closed with the measurement, the corrected root cause (the
  installer's Scenario-F reuse arm, not PVE_STORAGES), and the live sequence.
  Records that demo-hp carried the same drift and was fixed too.
- capability map: the whole-guest row's HOST-tier half was OPTIMISTIC and now
  says so — that tier was not merely unproven, it was unprovable on both demo
  boxes, and every live proof cited was on the offsite tier.
- vzdump-target-move runbook: its item 5 predicted this; annotated (not
  rewritten) with what actually happened — the create arm did grant, the reuse
  arm did not, and it surfaced as a silent unreadable tier rather than the 403
  the item expected, because vzdump writes through a root path.
- CONTEXT: S-21 (an empty listing cannot distinguish forbidden from newborn; the
  measured trap that an ungranted path answers with INHERITED privileges) and
  S-22 (the Scenario-F arm must finish the job).
- STATUS: rewritten for the operator, back to one screen.

admin 81d4438630 docs: R-189, R-188 and R-186 closed (agent v0.122.0); R-185 stays open
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
- OPEN-ITEMS: all three rows closed with their measurements. R-189 records the
  migration consequence seen live (a pre-R-189 record has no tier and is not
  reportable, so upgrading does not retroactively make an old proof visible).
  R-188 records both directions demonstrated and the fixture cleaned up. R-186
  carries the before/after sha values including the CGO_ENABLED discrepancy.
  The priority list states explicitly that R-185 is the one left open from that
  group and that this session did not touch it.
- capability map: the restore-proof row now says the evidence path itself had a
  gap — the proof reached the hub only because no restart intervened — and what
  closed it.
- CONTEXT: S-19 (a proof is durable and reportable, a failure is neither, and
  why) and S-20 (the release ordering, what each step protects, and how a binary
  is verified).
- STATUS: rewritten for the operator, back to one screen.

admin c102832892 docs: R-86 closed and proven live; ep0 recorded as protected; R-185/186/187 filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
- OPEN-ITEMS: R-86 CLOSED with the trap in its own wording recorded (the literal
  reading is never true on a daily tier); R-87 re-ranked UP because R-86 built
  most of what it waited for; R-185 (the agent cannot list demo-felhom's host
  backup tier — a missing storage ACL, pre-existing), R-186 (a released binary's
  sha is not reproducible from its tag), R-187 (R-115's publish leg had never
  actually run) filed. R-184 was the highest ID in use.
- ROADMAP: R-86 collapsed, keeping the reasoning and correcting the shape the row
  itself proposed — which would have been the never-fires version.
- 07-backup-architecture: new contract section — restore-testing is per ARCHIVE
  GENERATION, with the trap and what did not change (S-1).
- 00-capability-map: the unattended restore-proof row upgraded to PROVEN-LIVE on
  the 635 s due-triggered offsite run, with the restart and teardown evidence.
- CONTEXT: S-17 (the rule, the trap, the config key, the hub's derivation) and
  S-18 (ep0 is Tier 2 — extends D-d's protected list to three machines).
  Numbered 17/18 because S-14 and S-15 were already duplicated in the file.
- STATUS: rewritten for the operator, trimmed back to one screen.

admin e34b614e5b docs: R-182 closed, R-90 closed on measurement, R-86 unblocked, ep0 record corrected
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
R-182 CLOSED (controller v0.194.0 + hub v0.90.0/.1), proven live on demo-hp. The
hub's notification_log for the run reads: two per-app failures RECORDED, one
digest SENT naming both, and the customer channel SKIPPED with operator_only.
Against the measured previous behaviour — two failures, one email naming one
app, one leaving no trace anywhere.

Scenario D proved itself on an event I had not planned: disk_critical alarmed on
two filesystems, the second was collapsed by the cooldown, and that collapse is
now visible WITH ITS KEY. Yesterday it would have left nothing at all.

A gap the spec did not anticipate is recorded with its fix: the per-app event
also fires from the periodic sweep, outside any run, so making it record-only
would have created a NEW silence. The sweep emits a digest too, with no run_id,
so it stays under the ordinary hourly cooldown.

ep0: MEASURED on the box — 7757 MB (8 GB), 4 vCPU, and the 4 GiB swapfile
SURVIVED the resize and is active (checked, because a resize is a stop/start).
The 40 GB local disk is UNCHANGED, so no disk figure was touched anywhere.

Five documents corrected — three of which the task's list did not name, found by
searching. Two audit/evidence documents ANNOTATED, body untouched: they record
what was true when written and that is their value.

R-90 CLOSED. R-86 unblocked and re-ranked, stated honestly: 8 GB is comfortable,
not unbounded — the original OOM was a 14.46 GB restore — so the restore-test
cadence should still be paced, just not by fear of the endpoint.

target-selection.md's "D-d did not name ep0 either way" is deliberately left
standing. It is the operator's question, not CC's.

STATUS.md 127 -> 83 lines, items rather than sentences.

admin b0b269b28d docs: R-110 + R-115 closed, R-182 re-scoped by measurement, R-183/R-184 filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
R-182's direction REVERSED by Part 0's measurement. Filed yesterday as "the
reserve re-alerts on every status refresh" — too many alerts, seen at the
sending end. Measured at the receiving end: 9 events received today, 2 operator
emails sent. When two apps are refused in the same second the operator is told
about ONE; the other is dropped before LogNotification, so it leaves no row on
any channel and cannot be audited. The operator cooldown key is
customerID:eventType(+tier) and the capture-failed event carries `app` but no
`tier`, so the key has no app identifier. Same failure mode as R-97a, in a
second event type that never opted into the narrow fix. Nothing changed —
Part 0 was investigation only.

Correction owed: yesterday's report said "one recovery_unit_capture_failed per
app, HTTP 200". True of what the CONTROLLER pushed; a reader would take it as
"the operator was told about each app", which is false.

R-110 CLOSED (installer v1.23.0). Both channels moved. The spec's mechanism for
channel 2 rested on a factual error — the run-time fetches are sixteen, not
nine, and come from felhom-agent, not this repo — so no tag here could cover
them; pinned to the agent version being installed instead, on the operator's
ruling. Channel 3 needed no change: the URL never carried a ref, so no hub
change and no hub bump.

R-115 CLOSED. release-agent.sh builds, tags, publishes and verifies by an
independent download; check-published-versions.py refuses a tag with no package;
CI now runs the full gate set so it actually runs.

R-183 NEW+CLOSED: a fresh install fetched the vouched agent binary and its
sixteen config files from two different refs, and nothing compared them.

R-184 NEW: nothing stops the hub vouching a version that was never released.
The R-115 gate cannot see it — measured, the hub manifest and Gitea's package
listing are both 401 anonymously.

capability map: new PROVEN-LIVE row for the published installer channel.
STATUS.md 138 -> 127 lines.

admin fb652024ea docs: R-181 closed, R-156 closed, R-110 + R-115 rulings recorded, R-182 filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
R-181 CLOSED (controller v0.193.0 + v0.193.1) and proven live on demo-hp for
BOTH reserve terms. The reserve is now a per-app, per-run ADMISSION decision
taken before the app's first write and covering all three write legs, and it
gained a size term. The refusal's wording was not weakened; the behaviour moved
so it became true, verified by sha256 tree fingerprint.

R-156 CLOSED — papra's template mounts the app's own data root. Precondition
re-measured rather than inherited (both boxes were wiped today).

Part 4, documentation only, nothing built:
- R-110 WAITING-ON-OPERATOR -> READY. Ruling: option (b), the installer's
  publish channel moves to a TAG. Recorded with the condition that decides
  whether it works at all — it must cover BOTH the /scripts/ git-sync and the
  nine files the installer fetches from raw/branch/main.
- R-115 WAITING-ON-OPERATOR -> READY. Ruling: mechanism (b), a build-side gate
  refusing to deploy or vouch an unpublished version. The third instance (agent
  v0.120.0) would have silently downgraded both demo boxes while succeeding.

R-182 NEW: the periodic status refresh has no admission scope, so a refused app
re-alerts on every poll (measured: a second alert pair 13s after the run's).
Pre-existing in v0.192.0; deliberately not fixed in the R-181 task.

capability map: the local-backup row moves to PROVEN-LIVE in BOTH halves.
ROADMAP: R-165 collapses to CLOSED; R-181 collapsed into it.
07-backup-architecture.md: the reserve's contract stated as what the code
provides (S-1 — an architectural contract changed in the same session).
STATUS.md trimmed 150 -> 111 lines, "What's broken" no longer holds shipped
work, and the stale "After:" line (pointing at work that shipped on 2 August)
is fixed.

admin aa62449694 R-178 CLOSED: both demo boxes reinstalled from the merged golden and proven
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
Two boxes, two DIFFERENT supply paths, so the session proved the disk shape and
the delivery route rather than one of them twice.

demo-hp (layout proof, --golden <local volid>): mp0 at /var/lib/felhom,
backup=1, 70G, no mp1; /var/lib/docker and /mnt/sys_drive both real mounts of
its subdirectories via fstab; one df figure and one device id (64519) on all
three paths; reboots 3/3 with the binds surviving each.

demo-felhom (pipeline proof, --force-gitea-golden): fetch_verify succeeding
against the vouched manifest for BOTH artifacts -- 'verified sha256
54e2a4c431daf580... matches the hub manifest' for the golden, a7763d31... for
the agent. 250G single volume, grep -c '^mp1:' = 0, reboots 3/3.

Journey proven on both, endpoint-level: claim -> deploy -> back up -> restore,
with a planted marker returning byte-identical on each box. Ceiling measured
gone: 65 GiB and 233 GiB available to a recovery unit, against 19 and 45.

R-165 -> IMPLEMENTED, not PROVEN-LIVE, on the operator's ruling. B2, which that
row records as the bulkhead's replacement, fired live for the first time and
does refuse per app, delete nothing and alert -- but it is checked only in
captureAllRecoveryUnits while runVolumeDumps writes the bulk unguarded, and its
'the previous unit is untouched' claim was measured false (182,272 B dump
replaced by 2,147,666,432 B under a manifest still dated 06:34:26). -> R-181.

New: R-179 (uninstall leaves NAS network-storage units), R-180 (--archive-storage
not cross-checked against the ACL grant; 403 at step 8/8 after root@pam is
rotated), R-181. Third instance of R-115 recorded (agent 0.120.0 unpublished).

No code written, no version bumps -- this was a runbook.

gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
07-backup-architecture.md gains §7.5.1 (S-1: the contract changed in the same
session): the ceiling §7.5 describes no longer exists for a box built from
golden >= 0.192.0, the bulkhead's replacement is recorded, and R-175 is FIXED
here rather than left standing — the bound is restated as a function of mp1
and scoped to split-layout boxes, naming all three real shapes.

Capability map: new row as IMPLEMENTED, deliberately NOT proven-live, with
the missing leg named — no box has been reinstalled from the golden, and
"the golden baked" is not "a box built from it works".

R-163 CLOSED: the ceiling it recorded stops existing. R-176(a) answered by
P1; (b) WITHDRAWN, since every node is reinstalled rather than migrated.
R-178 filed for the reinstalls, which were not done this session.

CONTEXT S-13 (the variant chosen on measurement; pruning rejected with its
reason) and S-14 (prove first, then vouch — the golden is published but
deliberately unvouched, because vouching is what makes a fresh install pick
up a layout no box has been proven from).

STATUS: plain-language section; both operator questions now answered, so the
waiting-on-you item is cleared. Two older entries trimmed so the page did
not grow.

gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
R-167/R-158 shipped and proven live (controller v0.191.x, hub v0.89.0):
two new capability-map rows PROVEN-LIVE with live citations, and
07-backup-architecture.md §7.5's closing claim "nothing warns when an app
crosses the line" is now false and rewritten (S-1: an architectural
contract changed in the same session). §7.5 also gains the caveat that its
size bound is ONE BOX'S, not the fleet's.

Part 3 SPIKE (audits/SPIKE-r165-mp1-merge-2026-08-02.md): M1-M5 measured,
NO layout touched. Three findings the merge session must not re-derive:
"the layout" is not one thing (200G/50G vs 50G/20G vs 16G/8G); mp1 is a
BULKHEAD and not only a ceiling, so after the merge an overflow reaches
/var/lib/docker; the golden fails closed on the split in four places.
D-a's condition (1) is currently SATISFIED — no external box is in the
hub's register, and both demo boxes are Tier 0 and reinstallable.
Recommendation given, choice NOT made — it ends at the operator's ruling.

CONTEXT.md S-11 (D-c's routing, and why R-158's own backup_failed proposal
was overruled) and S-12 (the monitoring landed BEFORE the merge).

admin 0fc54e0122 hub v0.88.0 — the WAL that never was (R-172)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
store.New opened the DB with `?_journal_mode=WAL&_busy_timeout=5000`, which is
mattn/go-sqlite3 syntax. The driver is modernc.org/sqlite, whose applyQueryParams
reads only _pragma/_time_format/_time_integer_format/_txlock/_inttotime and
IGNORES anything else WITHOUT AN ERROR. So the hub ran in rollback-journal mode
with busy_timeout=0 for its entire life while its own source said otherwise.

Surfaced as a false HOST STALE banner: in rollback-journal mode a reader excludes
a writer, so rendering an operator page blocks a host report; the hub 500s, the
agent waits its full 15-minute interval without retrying, and staleness fires at
30 minutes — two collisions is a false alarm plus an operator email. 13 collisions
in one pod lifetime; the alarm fired twice on 2026-08-02 for a host that was up
two days and reconciling throughout.

The observable that proved it: a 128 MB /data/hub.db with no -wal/-shm beside it
while the DB was open.

Fix: ?_pragma=journal_mode(WAL)&_pragma=busy_timeout(5000)&_txlock=immediate.
_txlock=immediate is not optional — database/sql's Begin() is DEFERRED, so a
read-then-write tx must upgrade its lock and a failed upgrade is
SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT, which busy_timeout does NOT retry; this store has 10+
db.Begin() sites and they are all write paths.

Every test asserts what the DATABASE reports, never the DSN string — a string
test would have passed for the whole life of the bug. Red-proof: restoring the
shipped DSN reproduces journal_mode="delete", the missing -wal, and the live
"database is locked (5) (SQLITE_BUSY)".

Operational consequence handled: a WAL DB cannot be copied by taking hub.db
alone — a bare `cat` opens cleanly and silently omits the newest writes. The
break-glass retrieval in operations/nodes.md used exactly that; it and the
recovery-inventory note are now WAL-aware.

admin ad28699761 docs: R-157 A / R-170 / R-171 closed — boot recovery finished
gates / gates (push) Successful in 7s
Controller v0.190.0. Docs only here; no hub change, no hub version bump.

- audits/DIAG-bootrecon-drive-absent-2026-08-02.md — NEW. The Part 0 diagnosis,
  including the run that produced a FALSE NEGATIVE and the mechanism behind it
  (the agent re-binds an unmounted drive within ~60s, so the drive gate's startup
  reconcile restarted the apps one second before the sweep looked). Records that
  the write hazard was blocked only by an ACCIDENTAL filesystem permission that no
  code owns and no test pins.
- architecture/02 §0a — the boot-recovery contract (S-1): both gates read desired
  state; the sweep observes a SETTLED fleet and each sample must refresh first;
  nothing is started without asking, fail-safe. Plus the durable warning:
  Manager.StartStack has no gate of its own.
- 00-capability-map — the boot-recovery row, with the repeat count cited per N.5
  (6 of 6 hard resets) rather than a bare PROVEN-LIVE.
- OPEN-ITEMS / ROADMAP — R-157 CLOSED (both mechanisms), R-170 CLOSED, R-171 NEW
  and closed the same session, marked a regression from v0.189.0.
- STATUS.md — the power-cut line moved from "What's broken" to "What works right
  now" with its repeat count; one dated bullet in the change log.
- CONTEXT.md S-13 — the lessons worth carrying: "it didn't happen this time" is
  not a disproof; widening a window makes previously-unreachable overlaps
  reachable; and a settle detector is only as good as the freshness of what it
  samples — the fix's own defect, found live rather than by review.

admin 5c97fbc397 docs: R-166 SHIPPED — the desired/in-flight/observed split (D-b)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s
Controller v0.189.0 implements operator decision D-b. Docs only here; no hub
change and no hub version bump.

- architecture/02-controller-module-map.md §0a — NEW, and it is the S-1 contract:
  desired (app.yaml) / in-flight (own marker file) / observed (not persisted),
  with the rule that ties them — never derive one from another. Absent desired
  state means UNKNOWN, never "running". One file, one writer. D-b's binding
  safety rule quoted verbatim.
- 00-capability-map.md — the boot-recovery row now rests on a recorded signal,
  with the three live flows from 9201. The interrupted-operation half is marked
  IMPLEMENTED, not PROVEN-LIVE: nobody killed the controller mid-backup on metal.
- OPEN-ITEMS/ROADMAP — R-166 SHIPPED with both blocking facts and their answers;
  R-157 mechanism B CLOSED and A restated as the whole item; R-170 NEW (the
  drive-backed boot gate still infers a Stop from a container count).
- STATUS.md — the "an app can stay switched off and nothing says so" line
  rewritten to what is actually left: timing.
- CLAUDE.md — end-of-session checklist gains: confirm your own last push's CI run
  went green, BY RUN ID. The failure email is a push signal; this is the pull check.
- CONTEXT.md S-12 — the rulings, and the two lessons worth carrying: a test that
  constructs the thing it should prove the caller constructs is hollow (its
  red-proof will say so), and a field-by-field struct rebuild in a save path is a
  defect on sight.

admin b06ea9c877 register: file R-156..R-164 in one pass, ranked; and record what mp1 is actually for
Nine rows into OPEN-ITEMS.md and ROADMAP.md, matching each file's column shape.
R-156 and R-157 had lived only in audit documents - the identical "minted in a
spike doc and never carried across" failure the register already records for
R-153/R-154/R-155, caught by the catalog sweep's own section 8.0 while it was
happening. R-158 was minted by a second session the same day for an unrelated
finding, which is why the sweep's proposals were renumbered R-159..R-162 at filing
time. All nine IDs verified free in BOTH backlog files before use.

Part 0 settled the question the sizing item depended on, by reading:

mp1 is RETENTION, not staging, and neither of the two framings was right. A unit
is the KEPT copy on the app's OWN drive (backup.go:245-255); for an app with no
HDD_PATH the namespace falls back to the system SSD - "the SSD-only system-data
fallback" (appbackup/paths.go:26-27). There is no post-copy deletion: the only
prune is F5 residue-on-old-drives when an app MOVES (backup.go:1053-1112). So mp1
retains the units of driveless apps only - not every app, but not transient
either. Confirmed against the spike: sys_drive held exactly the four driveless
apps and not calibre-web, which had a drive and was still backed up.

A unit is volume tars + DB dumps only, never mp8 userdata
(recovery_unit.go:20-25), so a 1 TB photo library can never overflow one. And mp1
gates the WHOLE chain, not just Tier 1: Tier-2 mirrors the unit "(always)" from
RecoveryUnitPath (tier2.go:302,368) and Tier-3 carries it, so a unit that cannot
be written leaves both with nothing to copy.

Part 2 fired on both triggers - retention, and the fallback undocumented - so
07-backup-architecture.md gains section 7.5. Section 6.1 said a unit lives "on the
app's own drive", which is true and was the whole story only for drive-resident
apps; the no-drive case was undocumented, as was the sizing constraint. 7.5
records the mp0-50G-vs-mp1-20G mismatch, the measured ratios (DB app up to ~2x,
21.1GB -> 40.2GB; file-only 1.00x), and the bound this puts on D5's Lane-1
independence: restorable from the drive alone only while the unit still fits -
about 19 GB file-only, about 10 GB DB-backed. No number proposed; the ratio is the
operator's ruling (R-163).

R-159/R-160 marked SHIPPED only after verifying the template changes are in
app-catalog origin/main, and R-156's gate likewise (check-volume-persistence.py
present). papra is NOT fixed - referred - so R-156 stays open on that one app.

Ranked, with one line of reasoning each: R-157 first (an app can stay down
indefinitely with mechanism B silent on every channel), then R-161 (the gate
exists and nothing runs it, which is why R-156's class recurs - R-29's record is
three orphaned gates and one enforced), R-156, R-163, R-158, R-164, R-162.

admin eb5d05f496 docs: host-addresses audit + capability-map row + REPORT (agent 0.119.0 / hub 0.85.0) 2026-07-31 08:55:53 +02:00
admin 1956e5d390 hub v0.84.0 — break-glass console credential on the host page
The credential existed and was not reachable when it was wanted. Every box has
had a strong random root@pam password since TASK G1, vaulted in the hub at day 0
and used for real during the sshd incident — but the only way to read it back was
a hand-written curl carrying the global operator key, a secret kept out-of-band.
In practice the PVE web console on a demo box felt locked.

The host page grows a Console access card: presence + username + set_at by
default, Reveal fetches the plaintext on demand for 60 s with a Copy button.
Masking clears the JS variable, and also fires on a second click and on
visibilitychange. A host with nothing vaulted says so, and says why.

The secret is NEVER rendered into the page, and that constraint shapes the
change. The render path uses a new store.GetHostRecoveryMeta whose struct and
SELECT both omit the secret column, so it is structurally incapable of carrying
one. The plaintext crosses the wire only in the response to POST
/hosts/{id}/reveal-recovery-credential (Cache-Control: no-store, CSRF-gated at
the ServeHTTP level; POST precisely so that gate applies and so no secret is
retrievable by URL alone). Deliberately NOT the customer page's data-secret
widget, which embeds the plaintext on every load.

A delivered reveal writes one recovery_credential_revealed event on the host's
customer timeline (info, source hub, Hungarian) via SaveEvent alone — no
dispatcher, nobody emailed, the log_tail_requested shape. Two reveals write two
events: the register records accesses, not states. A 404 is not an access. An
unbound host reveals fine and writes no event; the [INFO] hub line, carrying the
username and a length only, is then the record.

The global-key API path is untouched by design — it is the route for when the
hub UI itself is broken, and coupling it to the session layer would delete the
independence that makes it a fallback.

Recorded as a real trade: the hub session password alone now unlocks console root
fleet-wide, where retrieval previously also needed the global key. Accepted for a
single-operator, HU-geo-fenced hub that already stores these passwords in
plaintext at rest (CONTEXT.md ruling S-4). The plaintext-at-rest half is filed as
R-133 — every hub DB backup is a fleet-wide console-credential dump.

Tests 550 -> 559; four red-proofs (page leak, audit event, CSRF gate, route
order) each run, observed failing, and reverted. The route-order proof is a seam
test driving ServeHTTP: a handler-level test cannot see that defect, because the
handler is correct and simply never runs.

admin 0a9bd3829d D5 SHIPPED: Tier-1/2 restore no longer depends on the whole-guest tier
Records controller v0.188.0 across the four coupled artifacts.

07-backup-architecture.md is the owning doc:
- new 7.4 = the recovery chain AFTER D5 (7.1 leg 1 superseded; leg 2,
  the living-app dependency, explicitly unchanged so this is not read
  as more than it is)
- 7.3 collapsed to history, with the correction that the target as
  written (data_key-only) was tested in Part 0 and rejected
- 3 records that the two-lane split is now real, not just intended
- matrix rows 3 / 3c (new) / 13; 10.1 D5 itself shipped

Also: new capability-map row, D5 collapsed in ROADMAP + OPEN-ITEMS,
and R-127 filed in both (data_key flag unreliable; O4 can regenerate a
DB password that no longer matches the restored data directory).

The audit is named D5-drive-alone-restore rather than "...secrets..."
because .gitignore blocks *secret* -- a guard worth respecting, not
forcing past.
2026-07-30 16:58:06 +02:00
admin d42d90fed7 R-108 CLOSED — D5's precondition is met (controller v0.187.0)
Four-artifact update per the coupling rule, plus the audit.

07-backup-architecture.md: §10.1 retitled CLOSED with the ruling and the D5
sentence; the FileBrowser network-share row flipped YES->NO, closed at the
PLACEMENT rather than at the bind; the exposure chain annotated with the fifth
surface (decommission-with-migrate guarded only its source) and the correction
that the boundary is the deploy POST, not the dropdown; §7.3 retitled UNBLOCKED;
register row collapsed; open question F answered.

00-capability-map.md: new §D row PROVEN-LIVE, with the un-exercised legs named —
the deploy-POST and decommission refusals are unit-tested, not live-fired.

OPEN-ITEMS.md: R-108 dispositioned; D5 given its OWN row as READY/UNBLOCKED (it
had existed only inside other rows' prose — the R-123 thread-loss pattern);
R-126 registered.

ROADMAP.md: R-108 collapsed to a shipped one-liner; R-126 added.

R-126 filed not fixed: a .fab bundle (plaintext secrets, optional password) can
be exported ONTO a NAS. Split out of R-108 rather than folded in — it is an
explicit customer-chosen export destination, not a browsing surface reaching a
backup tree, so it was never part of D5's precondition.

Live evidence: same-box before/after on demo-felhom through the real authenticated
endpoint, the network-specific refusal on demo-hp, non-effect verified in the
registry, and R-67's share-root bind diffed byte-identical across the deploy.

admin 772956d214 docs(R-116): CLOSED — proven live; capability row F to PROVEN-LIVE; R-120 filed
The events leg the previous commit reported as not-reached is now done. The operator
relayed the claim code (the only route: bcrypt-hashed hub-side, emailed only), the
two storage paths were registered through the real POST /api/storage/register, and
the cycle ran on the fresh box:

  07:20:04  backup_target_absent   (error)  Cel meghajto   <- TARGET, specific
  07:22:34  backup_target_restored (info)   Cel meghajto   <- its matching pair
  07:24:04  storage_disconnected   (error)  Adat meghajto  <- NON-target, generic
  07:25:34  storage_reconnected    (info)   Adat meghajto

All four at the hub; gate fired in 3 s. Two matched pairs, correctly discriminated
-- and discrimination is proven NON-trivially for the first time, since both prior
runs had the target itself emit the generic event. Over-correction passes on a
positive observable, with two RETURNED lines proving the gate was ticking.

00-capability-map row F: PARTIAL -> PROVEN-LIVE with the evidence and the caveat.

R-120 filed: the golden bakes controller 0.185.1, which PREDATES R-114 + R-112, so
a freshly installed box shows the customer the WRONG absent-target message --
observed live on the drill box: the generic "the backup is on the same disk as the
system" copy (false; the target is a drive that vanished) plus an offer of the other
drive as the remedy. That is E2D 5.3's exact payload, still reachable on any new
install. R-115's class one layer up -- R-111 closed by re-baking the golden, 0.186.0
then shipped, the golden did not move, and the gap reopened silently; this time the
stale artifact carries a customer-facing falsehood in exactly the state R-116 now
alarms about correctly.

Teardown recorded for all three layers, hub layer gate-blocked with the command.
2026-07-30 09:34:08 +02:00
admin c3ce4c7b20 R-116 Part 5 FAILED: the fix shipped, C5 still fails, mechanism NOT isolated
A fresh box running the fully shipped stack -- agent 0.115.0 from the Day-0
manifest plus controller 0.185.1 from the vouched golden, no hand-deploy -- still
fired the GENERIC storage_disconnected on detach and the SPECIFIC
backup_target_restored on return. backup_target_absent count 0. Identical to
Session C. The v0.115.0 fix changed nothing observable.

Part 4's three positive observables were all obtained before the run (registry
newest 0.115.0, hub vouches 0.115.0, felhom-pve running 0.115.0 clean), so the
publish step forgotten twice was not forgotten a third time, and the box
demonstrably installed the fix under test.

Discrimination FAILS: the target itself produced the generic event, so the two
cannot be told apart regardless of the non-target leg -- which was therefore not
staged. Reported as a fail, not as Session C's trivial pass.

Over-correction guard PASSES: 0 ABSENT lines with the drive present, target
degraded:false.

THE HONEST PART. The fix targets a shape that does not occur live, and which
shape does occur is NOT ISOLATED. With the drive detached PVE reports the
storage inactive with zeroed fields -- a shape the unit fixture did not model.
Three attempts to read the real /disks payload failed on token extraction across
the ssh -> guest -> container layers, and a present-drive CONTROL query also
returned 0 rows, proving the query was broken rather than the payload. Without
that control this run would have recorded a third false mechanism, after "the
union row writes false" (wrong, corrected yesterday) and "no row carries the
guest path" (unverified). The leading hypothesis -- an inactive storage reaching
Observe with an empty MountPath, so StablePathForRaw returns "" -- is consistent
with the pvesm output but is NOT evidence and is recorded as such.

Next session's first job is a working /disks read, with a present-drive control
run FIRST, before any further code.

agent v0.115.0 is published, vouched and INERT. Not reverted: reverting is
itself a change, the runbook forbids fixing mid-run, and the code is tested and
harmless.

Capability-map row F stays PARTIAL, now citing the re-test.
Teardown clean: pvesm status after == before (local-lvm 38.83%), guest 9201 and
drill-r50 untouched. Customer sess-d pending the usual ONLINE-ages-to-DOWN gate.

admin 952ebf4862 Record work, banked first: shrink the E-2d row, create the missing capability-map rows
Unconditional and three sessions overdue, so it commits before any code is
touched — E-2d itself stopped at Phase 0 and banked nothing.

E-2d row: 822 words -> 121, and the contradiction resolved. Its State read
CLOSED — PARTIALLY PROVEN while the cell's final sentence read "This row stays
OPEN only for the residue"; a reader could not tell which. It is CLOSED, with
R-116 the single named open leg.

Nothing unique was binned. Three facts existed ONLY in that cell and are moved
into audits/E2D-fresh-vm-2026-07-29.md as a new §1a: the local-lvm fence figures
with the 888 GB nvme alternative, the exactMount subdirectory caveat and why the
subdirectory is nonetheless the safe placement (no durable_id collision), and
the ISO/PAIRING -> DIRECT fall-through derived at source with its line
citations. drill-r50's blocked status was already in both audits.

Capability map: it had ZERO rows for the backup-target work — grep gives 0 hits
for backup_target and one for "E-2" that is a campaign date string. Three
scenario rows added, at today's honest status, not the value hoped for later:

  C. Protection & recovery — installer Case A/B, DEGRADED recorded not hidden
     PROVEN-LIVE, cites E2D-fresh-vm C1+C2
  D. Storage & devices — the offer, and that registration confers no role
     PROVEN-LIVE, cites SESSION-C C4 + the decline path
  F. Notifications & monitoring — the absent-target alarm and its pairing
     PARTIAL, cites SESSION-C C5, leg named, -> R-116

Row F is PARTIAL today per the doc's own strict enum (a leg not exercised live
is PARTIAL with the leg named, never PROVEN-LIVE). A later session may flip it;
this commit must not.

admin 070b0ce2dc 07-backup-architecture: rewrite as the recovery model (D1-D6); D5 BLOCKED by R-108
Replaces the 2026-07-14 DRAFT entirely - it was verified against controller v0.132.0,
51 versions stale, while being cited as authoritative. Now verified against controller
0.183.0 / agent 0.110.0 / hub 0.80.0 / catalog 4252121. NOT ratified.

Every statement is labelled [DESIGN] (a decision from the architecture discussion) or
[FACT] (file:line, live output, or a citation to _recovery-inventory-2026-07-28.md).

Phase 0 verified D5's premise and it FAILED. Ten read surfaces were checked; nine are
clean (SMB under both namespace shapes, FileBrowser for local drives, .fab import and
download, /api/debug/*, all three ServeFile sites, registering the backup dir as a
drive). One is not: FileBrowser binds a NETWORK share at its ROOT while local drives
are userdata-scoped, and no IsNetwork() filter guards the deploy dropdown, the per-app
migrate targets, or handleStorageMigrateApp. So an app namespace - and under D5 its
plaintext secrets - can land somewhere a browsing surface serves with download:true.
Not a leak today (the unit's app.yaml is secret-stripped); it becomes one under D5.
D5 is therefore written as a BLOCKED target, not as settled. -> R-108

Core artifact is the failure -> recovery matrix (15 rows). RTO cells carry only
measured durations; 12 are blank and each blank is listed explicitly as a finding.
RPO cells carry the configured cadence that bounds RPO, labelled as such - no RPO has
ever been measured from an incident and none is invented.

The 7/53 vs 9/43/1 Tier-2 coverage counts are both recorded, unresolved; neither adopted.

Coupling (S-1): capability map section C now cites the matrix instead of restating
routes; ROADMAP gains R-102..R-108; OPEN-ITEMS gains only the in-flight R-108 plus
C9-F1b/F3/F4 -> R-n cross-references; CONTEXT records D1-D6 as standing ruling S-3.

No code, no version bump, no deploy, no box touched.

admin 0d1cf0f732 Recovery baseline inventory (read-only): every restore path, tier coverage, key custody, host/hub state, failure domains, measured RTOs
Data document, no design. Parts A-G plus Unknowns/Contradictions/Observations.

Headlines:
- A: 12 restore paths. 7 are customer-unassisted (all app-level); every whole-guest
  and host-level path is operator-SSH-only.
- B: independent catalog enumeration gives Tier-2 file-leg coverage 7/53 and Tier-3
  mandatory coverage 4/53; does not reproduce the shipped C9-F1 figure of 9/53.
  Tier-3 captures named-volume tars on every run and no offsite action unpacks them.
- C: three circular dependencies, incl. app-tier restore being conditioned on the
  whole-guest tier (encryption.key), and break-glass credentials reachable only
  through the hub that DooPlex hosts.
- D1: host state is in no backup of any kind; no host has ever been rebuilt as itself.
- D2: hosts.dr_record_json, host_escrow.directive_json and dr_recipe drives[] are all
  empty on the live fleet, and dr_recipe records the PBS namespace as 'root'.
- E: local vzdump shares its physical disk with the guest it backs up (both hosts);
  hub.felhom.eu resolves straight to DooPlex's own public IP, not a CF tunnel.
- F: every measured RTO extracted; the unmeasured ones listed, none estimated.

Nothing was changed, deployed or restarted; peti-felhom untouched.

admin 2b24c70536 docs(ep0): hub PBS-DR capacity gauge verified correct after the volume move
The last open item from the datastore relocation. Hub operator UI
(Offsite -> PBS DR) reports felhom-offsite (ep0) at 97.9 GB capacity,
12.6 GB used, 13% full - agreeing with the on-box df (98 G / 13 G / 13%).

The gauge follows the datastore's CONFIGURED PATH, so the relocation
required no hub-side change. RUNBOOK section 10.3 warned that a stale
37.2 GB reading would mean the gauge reads the wrong filesystem and
would be a real bug worth a roadmap item - it does not, and there is
no bug.

admin ad8057c4e3 docs(ep0): relocate the felhom-offsite PBS datastore onto the 100 GB volume
Supervised runbook execution. No code change, no version bump.

felhom-offsite moved from ep0's 40 GB root disk (/srv/pbs-felhom) to a
dedicated 100 GB Hetzner Cloud Volume (/mnt/pbs-datastore, ext4 -m 0,
by-id fstab, relatime). Datastore NAME unchanged, so the PBS-DR
descriptors, per-box storage ids, ACLs and namespaces are untouched.

Capacity: 37.2 GB -> 98 GB total, 28.9% -> 13% used, headroom to the 80%
warn 19 GB -> ~65 GB. This CLEARS the R-82 Phase 0 P0.3 STOP. Per-tenant
encryption still precludes cross-customer dedup, so the slope is
unchanged - the volume buys runway, not a better cost model.

Verified: byte totals and chunk counts identical (9748), 7/7 snapshots
across all three namespaces, backup:backup ownership, clean itemised
dry-run, full verify job TASK OK with 0 errors, and a restore round-trip
(source_tier pbs, pass true, mount_parity ok, clean teardown).

Nothing deleted - the original 13 GB stays at /srv/pbs-felhom as the
rollback until a new weekly backup lands. GC deliberately not run.

Three findings recorded:
- the `scratch` datastore points at a non-existent path (pre-existing;
  now logs ENOENT every start) - operator decision
- the runbook's S6 guard test proves the wrong proposition:
  RequiresMountsFor re-mounts rather than refusing, so the test only
  bites when the device is genuinely unavailable (re-run that way, and
  the refusal was observed) - amendment recommended
- S11: storage box u629193 has no live backup path, BUT ep0 carries an
  enabled sshfs mount unit against it that must be removed before the
  box is deleted

Deviations: the volume arrived pre-formatted and mounted; S8 ran on
demo-felhom rather than demo-hp (no SSH key for demo-hp); the window was
contended by a stale in-memory 10-minute restore-test cadence whose
config had already been reverted on disk.

Claude Code 57ba3c7c8c R-85 Phase 4: docs — the UNATTENDED path is documented as unproven
- ROADMAP: R-85 row. Code SHIPPED; rotation NOT YET OBSERVED LIVE, stated as
  such rather than written as done.
- Capability map: a new row for UNATTENDED restore-proof, IMPLEMENTED not
  PROVEN-LIVE, kept distinct from the R-82 row that a MANUAL selftest earned.
  That distinction is the same one the activation-vs-arrival split made.
- 03-host-agent §8: the scheduler covers every tier, oldest-proven first; the
  spec is per-run; a restore-test joins the one-heavy-op gate. The safety
  properties that must not be re-derived are listed.
- 07: restore-proof recorded as a per-tier property. Doc still NOT ratified.
- 06: corrects S4.1's 'the offsite restore-test now runs unattended' — it
  silently stopped being true when local_backup_target was retargeted to 'local',
  the SECOND time in that doc that a correct mechanism was broken by its input
  changing underneath it.
- CONTEXT + REUSE.

Hub gate green (17 packages, rc=0).

Claude Code c74d752a9a R-82: restore round-trip PASSED + multi-tier quiesce proven live -> PROVEN-LIVE
Restore round-trip on demo-hp: pass=true, verified=boot+running,
mount_parity=ok, source_tier=pbs (the v0.100.0 fix — the earlier attempt said
'local' and died at 600s), 4m5s restore+boot+verify+teardown, clean teardown
with no 403 and no leak. That last point confirms 06's reading that the
teardown 403 was a phantom, and corrects my earlier framing of it as a standing
privilege gap.

Multi-tier quiesce driven through the REAL UI endpoint (authed+CSRF):
exactly ONE stop/start pair with BOTH backups inside it, local-first/PBS-last,
app quiesced through the non-last tier, early resume on the last tier's
snapshot. Total downtime 1m27s for both tiers; app healthy after.

Capability map row upgraded IMPLEMENTED -> PROVEN-LIVE, kept distinct from the
DR-tier row above which proves ACTIVATION not ARRIVAL. Remaining gaps recorded:
the SCHEDULED restore-test still only selects the primary tier (manual path
proven, unattended not), and the hub infers cadence from storage type.

Claude Code adf1d1e619 R-82 Slice D/E: installer default 1.20.0 + architecture docs brought current
Slice D.1 — host-install 1.20.0: a FRESH box defaults to local-daily +
offsite-weekly (felhom-pbs, 604800s, keep_last=2). setdefault semantics proven
both ways: fresh gets the tier, an UPGRADE preserves the existing backup block
verbatim — so an in-place upgrade can never silently start writing to an
offsite datastore. Existing boxes are migrated explicitly.

Slice E:
- 07-backup-architecture.md: honest status header per CONTEXT ruling S-2, with
  an explicit STALE-outside-the-PBS-tier verdict (the controller tiers were last
  verified 41 controller versions ago). The PBS row claimed 'PBS on DooPlex'
  (the retired spike store) with no cadence; it now names felhom-pbs ->
  felhom-offsite on ep0 over wg-felhom, weekly, keep_last=2. NOT marked
  ratified — that is Viktor's review of the section 10 list. Discharges R-83.
- 06-offsite-connectivity.md: the target-split remaining-work note collapsed
  (shipped), and records HOW S4.1's tier-aware timeout silently regressed — the
  mechanism was never removed, its INPUT changed when local_backup_target was
  retargeted to 'local'. Also notes S4.1 already diagnosed the teardown 403 as a
  phantom (a timeout consequence, not an ACL gap).
- capability map: new row for recurring offsite backups actually LANDING, as
  distinct from the existing row proving ACTIVATION. IMPLEMENTED, not
  PROVEN-LIVE — the restore round-trip has not completed under the fixed code.
- ROADMAP: R-82 SHIPPED with its remaining gate named, R-83 DISCHARGED, R-84
  left open.
- CONTEXT + REPORT: the arc, including the mid-arc correction I had to make.

Claude Code 945b7818b5 docs(arch): 07 §9.1 — record measured PBS whole-guest capacity state (R-82 Phase 0)
Per the operator's 2026-07-26 ruling: datastore growth deferred, R-82 proceeds.
Records the measurements so the constraint is written down rather than carried
in a session: 37.2 GB total / 10.8 GB used, no cross-customer dedup (per-tenant
encryption keys), 80% warn reached at roughly the second additional customer,
and the pvesm 0/0/0 reporting artifact that means operators must read fill from
the hub gauge. Also records what the tier does and does not carry, and the
conditional on the P0.1 weekly verdict (Tier-3 offsite must be healthy).

Doc NOT marked ratified — that stays Viktor's review (R-83).

Claude Code f5a5e2b911 hub v0.75.0: R-81 — "no signal" is not "bad signal" (anchor the backup deadline check)
Third instance of one class (hub v0.12.0, v0.73.0, this), fixed as a class.
On 2026-07-26 03:00 UTC expected_backup_missed fired on demo-felhom, demo-hp
and drill-r50 at once; the demo-felhom one reached the CUSTOMER channel
claiming "newest backup is 176h0m0s old". Nothing was wrong — three vzdump
archives were on disk. Cause: the agent backup store is in-memory, so the
R-50 fleet restart emptied `backups` until the next run, and the hub read
empty as "no backup exists".

- assessBackupFreshness returns OK/UNKNOWN/MISSED instead of `missed bool`;
  absence is UNKNOWN until it outlives an anchored window. Still pure.
- store.GetHostReportsSince + monitor.newestBackupEvidence read the hubs own
  retained history (bounded 7-day lookback, early-exit on fresh evidence) —
  "when did I last SEE evidence of a backup?" The anchor was free: the hub
  already retains 90 days. No agent change, no new persisted state.
- store.GetFirstHostReportAt anchors absence at first contact, reusing the
  existing 26h threshold as the grace (no new knob, the v0.73.0 shape).
- Deferrals logged + counted; reason strings kept distinct.
- backupStaleAfter untouched; landmine recorded (a weekly PBS snapshot would
  alarm six days in seven) and owned by R-82.

Tests 493->508. Red-proofs A/B/C observed and restored; A reproduces the live
message verbatim. Replayed the real 03:00 reports (600/417/77 rows): all
three now silent.

admin 9cfa619ec3 hub v0.74.0: allow local_api_endpoint_drift; R-77 docs + R-78/79/80
The allowlist entry is REQUIRED, not cosmetic: handleEvent 400s an unknown
event_type, so controller v0.173.0's new drift alert would be silently inert
without it. Shipped with the controller that emits it.

Docs:
- RUNBOOK-local-api-endpoint-drift.md — how to repair a drift, including the
  step everyone will want to skip (establish which value is CORRECT from what
  the agent is actually bound to, rather than assuming bootstrap.json wins) and
  what success looks like (SILENCE, not a "recovered" line, because a fresh
  controller's healthy first observation is not logged). Records both
  2026-07-26 repairs.
- ROADMAP: R-77 shipped; R-78 the local_api authority ruling, with the
  clobber-a-working-channel risk spelled out in BOTH directions so it is not
  resolved opportunistically; R-79 the whole-surface English-strings sweep;
  R-80 expected_backup_missed, flagged as likely outranking R-77 because 7.3
  days of stale backup materially exceeds the ~1.5-day channel outage, so the
  causal link the DIAG hedged on cannot be the whole story.
- Capability map: note against the drive-wizard row (every agent-backed
  capability rides this channel) that a silent drift class is now detected.
  NO row status flips — detection is not prevention.

admin 89d64f64b3 R-75 SHIPPED (controller v0.172.0): docs, capability-map note, ROADMAP collapse
New documentation/controller/import-and-data-paths.md: the canonical import root
(and why it is NOT a registered StoragePath), the three data_paths roles, the
Fork-3 validation asymmetry, the class-driven copy rule, and the seven
invariants a future change must not break.

Capability map "File access via browser" — status DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED. The
drop-zone now has its own FileBrowser source and the app page carries a deep
link, both verified live, but nothing drove the FileBrowser HTTP UI (no browser
on DooPlex), so the row's standing "browse is exercised in no doc" caveat still
holds and PROVEN-LIVE remains unearned.

R-75 collapsed to its shipped one-liner. R-76 left open — this task does not fix
it, and nothing built here assumes an import/* directory stays 2775.

admin 2d78c283c6 R-50 SHIPPED: fleet migrated to the island; Phase 5 docs
- B2 demo-hp + B3 demo-felhom migrated to the island (agent 0.96.0), apps
  served throughout (0 container restarts), island /storage 200, LAN DNS pinned
  to the LAN IP, hub reports 0.96.0. No rollback.
- capability-map 'site/network change' row PARTIAL -> PROVEN-LIVE
- ROADMAP R-50 -> SHIPPED (fleet-migrated); add R-74 (island on Peti's cluster)
- nodes.md: both boxes island-bound, agent 0.96.0

admin f379ba0b34 docs: capability map + ROADMAP — Indítópult megosztás (guest capability link, controller v0.165.0)
New capability-map row (IMPLEMENTED; §13 endpoint-level live on 9201). Records the
ruling: member accounts are superseded by the capability-URL guest share for
launcher sharing; per-member tile visibility parked under the SSO/members arc (R-15).
Updated the launcher row's member-coupling note and R-15 accordingly.

admin a12c6f9730 docs(v1.24.0): R-59/R-60/R-61 SHIPPED — CHANGELOG, README, ROADMAP (+R-62), runbook, capability map, drill evidence, REPORT
Virgin-ISO nested drill closed the train: dead-NIC install baked the
fallback (incl. the dead default gateway), the R-59 screen painted
(capture committed beside the spike doc), the cable move healed +
registered at the hub in 23s unaided, and the build's rootpw file
matched the installed box's shadow hash. R-59 SHIPPED with the recorded
deviation (first-boot gate; installer-initrd abort out of scope by
operator ack). R-60 SHIPPED (spike + drill cited; F-P9 route-flush fix
included). R-61 slice 1 SHIPPED. New R-62 row (hub delete-dialog
cosmetics, XS). Capability map: new PROVEN-LIVE row (nested != metal,
said so). Cleanup verified: felhom-pve interfaces byte-identical,
bridge/VMs/ISO removed.
