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).
Found validating v0.69.0 against the live hub. demo-vm-felhom was deleted
on 07-18 and was still on the Customers list AND still raising offsite_stale
(10 events, latest 07-21 17:34, operator email at 19:34) — because
GetCustomers() is report-derived and no lifecycle tier ever deleted a report.
New leg 3 (residue), before the record purge: reports, app_telemetry,
app_log_tails, log_tail_requests, customer_notifications, plus the
credential-bearing appliance_registrations and selfbind_tokens. Audit
(events, notification_log) and F-14 provenance still survive.
Ghost customers are now deletable: 404 means "nothing here", not "no config
row". With no config row the offsite descriptor is unknowable, so the Hetzner
and descriptor legs record skipped_no_config rather than a bare "skipped".
Two more red-proofs.

POST /configs/{id}/delete now runs hosts -> RESET -> purge behind three
acknowledgements, a typed customer-id, a stale-preview check and the
ONLINE-host refusal (every gate before any write, so a refusal has zero
side effects). The shallow handleConfigDelete is gone.
Two invariants are asserted, not just commented: ruling 3 is preserved by
construction (leg 2 never sees a host row) and retained escrow custody is
purged exactly once, in leg 3 (leg 2 runs with purgeEscrow=false).
handleCustomerReset's committed half was extracted as commitCustomerReset;
the standalone RESET path is byte-identical to v0.68.1 and its suite is
untouched. Five red-proofs run.
