R-341's first dated check, taken at +46.2 h: fd 17 -> 405 over 166,251 s
= 201.6/day. Pre-registered range was 370-450; observed 388. UNCHANGED,
as predicted. CLOSE-WAIT is 0 -- absent entirely, not merely flat.
Q1: exactly two peers, 194 each, no third party.
Q2: outcome (a). ep0 388 = 194 + 194 on the boxes, twice, and the four
new sockets carry the same source ports on both sides. 0 closed in 31 min.
The finding: all 388 are held by felhom-agent. pvestatd and
proxmox-backup-client made 162,404 requests and leaked zero. Mechanism is
a per-cycle http.Transport with a zero-value IdleConnTimeout that nothing
ever closes (internal/pbs/client.go:56, main.go:1486). R-336's premise
does not survive this -- cutting the poll rate would have fixed nothing.
Q3 NOT measured: Phase C held at STOP 1, prediction pre-registered first.
Part 0 captures the due-checks gate's first conviction on a real overdue
date (rc=1, names R-341, sole failure among 10 gates). Row cleared at
Part 4, after the result was recorded in R-341, not to make a push work.
New: R-344 (the transport leak), R-345 (hub/Makefile pushes :latest),
R-346 (ActiveEnterTimestamp reads 5h56m early -- NRestarts is still 0).
