Destroyed 02:40:31Z (guarded on hostname — demo-hp also has a guest 9201), drives
wiped to 20K with the mounts deliberately left in place because the surviving raw
mount IS the R-220 condition. Reinstalled through the published day-0 path,
installer v1.25.0 fetched live; Day-0 provision SUCCESS in 2m32s.
R-239 measured a second time, from the other side: the rebuild landed on agent
0.127.0 (no downgrade, no hand upgrade — that half is right) and controller
0.203.0. The box a customer would recover on tonight also lacks R-234 and R-237.
The machine is AT THE CLAIM SCREEN awaiting the operator. A claim code has already
been requested through the customer-facing path and emailed, so the morning is
paste-a-code rather than request-then-paste. The reset-code hatch was NOT used and
will not be: it is a guest command line and would fail the rule the walk measures.
Stated plainly in the journal: journey steps from the destruction onward are driven
over HTTP from the appliance to the guest's island address, as a browser would;
some instrumentation reads are guest command lines and are counted as such, but
none changed state or was needed to progress the journey.
Window 2 (01:56-02:36Z) caught the off-site nightly at 02:15:03Z — snaps 1->2,
last_run advanced with no prompting. Window 1 had already caught the local legs
(db-dump 00:30:25Z, tier + fill-watch 01:30:19Z). My 04:15 prediction was wrong in
the other direction; recorded rather than quietly fixed.
What should have fired and did not: NOTHING. Six registered jobs were never seen
in the log and none is a finding — four are quiet by construction
(scheduler.go:267, quiet := job.Interval <= 30s) and two run every 6h, outside a
4h window. Checked the source rather than filing four phantom defects.
What fired and should not have: nothing. No alert, notification, email or digest.
The only WARN lines in five hours were three of mine.
Observation kept: offbox-backup ticked twice 62s apart and produced ONE new
snapshot — the second silently dropped by the single-flight, which is correct for
the nightly path and is the same mechanism that produced R-234 on the manual path.
Window 1 (22:44-01:54Z, untouched): every periodic job fired at its declared
cadence — agent-channel-health 185x/1m, stack-scan 108x/2m, the 5-minute trio 44x
each, hub-report 14x/15m. offsite-credential-retry ran 44 times and did no work
and said nothing, which is R-218's asserted healthy-box behaviour on a box that
never saw the defect. No alert, notification or digest fired; nothing on the
must-not list fired.
The off-site state never moved during that window — and that is NOT a finding.
The daily jobs run on the controller's clock and the guest is UTC while the
appliance is CEST, so the nightly local (~02:30) and off-site (~04:15) fall at
02:30Z and 04:15Z. I sized the window against CEST and it closed at 01:54Z, before
either. Reporting 'the nightly did not fire' would have been a false finding
produced by a badly-chosen window.
Window 2 (corrective, 01:56-02:35Z) covers the 02:30Z local backup. The 04:15Z
off-site nightly is deliberately NOT covered and is recorded as not run with the
reason: leaving the machine at the claim screen before 07:00 is the primary
deliverable, and waiting would have put the destruction at ~06:35 CEST with no
margin. The off-site tier was exercised four times manually instead, including a
full listing by name.
Phase A complete on a NEW venue (demo-hp VM 324, customer finalwalk). Installed
from the published ISO — verified byte-identical to iso.felhom.eu — claimed, app
deployed, three sentinels placed, escrow ceremony 6/6 with restic_pw_sealed=true,
R held in one 0600 file on DooPlex, off-site backup taken and the three sentinels
PROVEN IN THE SNAPSHOT BY NAME (snapshot 1da4f80d, 12.0 MB).
THE HEADLINE: a fresh install lands on agent 0.127.0 (vouched, no hand upgrade —
that half works) and controller 0.203.0, while the newest is 0.205.0. The vouched
golden still bakes 0.203.0, so tonight's box has neither R-237 nor R-234. Filed as
R-239: a delivery gap, not a regression. Every closure claimed for those two is
true of the code and false of the fleet until a golden is baked and vouched.
The five checks, on that box:
T1 ok + the old bare-count warning (no next step)
T2 FAILS — both runs say "elindult", the second as a success flash
T3 FAILS — toggle off hides an existing snapshot; wizard 302s away
T4 ok, and the wording is still "Sikeres" beside "nothing is selected" -> R-240
T5 PASSES — driven as a browser does, prepare -> full_prep -> confirm -> commit
completed; R-238 confirmed a harness artifact, not a product defect
HARNESS FAULT, caught by the §4 gate: the first off-site run reported ok with a
26.6 KB repo — impossible for a 12 MB sentinel. I had placed the files under
.../adatok/felhom-data/userdata/... while this box's namespace root is
/mnt/felhom-drives/adatok directly. The product was correct throughout; proving by
listing rather than by a green status is what caught it before any destruction.
Nothing destroyed. The venue stands.
