admin 6e550aedd3 R-87 put back in the register; closed_register_gate.py is the 12th gate (R-405, R-406)
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
Records and process only. No machine contacted. No product code, no version bump,
no build, no deploy.

R-87 was moved into CLOSED-ITEMS.md by the 2026-08-22 compression sweep ef6ac6f while
its own state cell read "READY - RE-RANKED UP 2026-08-03 (R-86 closed)". R-378 records
that sweep moving six still-open rows and restoring them in the same session; this was
a seventh it missed. Nine days in the wrong file, with the register's ranking paragraph
ranking it fourth and pointing at nothing. Restored verbatim from ef6ac6f^, beside R-95
where it sat before.

The predicate is the LEADING VERDICT of the state cell, which is R-378's lesson and
decides the answer here. Measured on the file as pushed: an open word anywhere in the
state cell convicts 3 of 151 rows, two of them genuinely closed (R-224 and R-260 carry
"open"/"OPEN" inside long prose verdicts); the leading verdict convicts exactly 1; the
whole row convicts 144.

closed_register_gate.py, two rules: no open state word leading a CLOSED-ITEMS.md row's
verdict, and no R- id with a row in both registers. Red-proofed both, and negative-
controlled against the pushed pre-fix files where it convicts R-87 by name, rc=1;
restoring the planted rows leaves the file byte-identical. Registered as the 12th gate
in repo_gates.py, --fast, after it was green. Four residual holes in its docstring.

R-398 was also in both registers - a deliberate cross-reference stub. Now prose beneath
the table rather than a table row, because a row in both files is what rule 2 convicts on.

R-406 filed: two unrelated findings in OPEN-ITEMS.md both numbered R-133. The only such
collision in either register. Deliberately NOT gated - a within-register duplicate rule
would fail on a pre-existing row, and a registered-but-failing gate refuses every push.

golden-currency is RED at this commit and was already red at dddcc80 - controller
v0.230.0 released, newest golden 0.229.0. Pre-existing, not this session's debt.

Ceiling R-404 -> R-406.

admin dddcc808be R-403 CLOSED (controller v0.230.0), R-404 filed as a decision for Viktor
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
07-backup-architecture gains section 8.2, placed beside row 5 on purpose: the derived-copy rebuild
rule is UNCHANGED and section 8.2 names the single exception, so a future reader who finds RunTier2
skipping a leg does not fix it back. It carries the measurement (120 082 104 B -> 7 036 B on the
shipped v0.229.0), the four-case table, why hollow is a manifest question and not a size question,
why the data legs are deliberately not guarded, and why the capture job is not guarded either.

00-capability-map: the Tier-2 row's status does NOT move, stated explicitly rather than left
ambiguous. R-403 removes a way the route could be DESTROYED between uses; it does not change what
the route can be relied on for.

Register: R-403 CLOSED and compressed into CLOSED-ITEMS (594 -> 593 open lines). R-404 FILED as a
DECISION and deliberately not acted on - should a documents-only push be subject to the
golden-currency gate, now that it has been correctly bypassed six times? Both sides stated, plus
what happens if Viktor does nothing. The gate was NOT changed.

R-242: seventh conviction, and the FIRST where the day-0 ground does not apply - R-403 is a defect
in the nightly Tier-2 copy, which a day-0 box starts running on its first night. This push uses
git push --no-verify, declared here and in felhom-controller/REPORT.md. A golden carrying 0.230.0 is
owed and is more urgent than the previous six.

STATUS: the R-403 item moves out of 'Broken' into what works, in plain words; the delivery item now
says a golden is owed and that the fleet carries the defect; R-404 goes into the decide section with
its do-nothing outcome.

Drill evidence: nine phase logs, including the two things that went wrong (a repair whose rsync was
not installed in the guest and silently did nothing, and a session that expired mid-run so a POST
did nothing).

admin 66156c619f R-403 drill evidence + the credential reader that ends a three-time mistake
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
The drill: the loss reproduced on the shipped v0.229.0 before anything was built. 120 082 104 B ->
7 036 B in one Tier-2 run, recorded as a success. Phases 1a (before), 1b (the hollow primary,
produced through the R-102 restore path exactly as the 2026-08-31 observation was), 1c (the loss),
1d (repair).

scripts/read_credential.py is Part 4's rider, and it exists because a note did not work three times:
2026-07-20 a Failed login was diagnosed as a stale password and written into memory; 2026-08-31 the
same misreading recurred and was caught; 2026-08-31, hours later, it recurred AGAIN and rewrote a
live box's password hash. Between them the project already had a memory file stating the rule, a
worked recipe in it, and a session report describing the mistake. The rule now lives in the code
path: one matching quote pair is unwrapped, the result is REFUSED if it still carries a quote, and
--expect-length gives the caller a second opinion. The value goes file->file at 0600 and stdout gets
only its length. test_read_credential.py asserts each refusal by its reason, with a positive control
before believing the not-in-stdout result.

Red-proof E1: remove the final quote assertion -> three cases fail by name.

admin 83ff9e8e38 golden 0.229.0 baked, vouched, floor raised — R-242's sixth debt PAID the same day
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
GOLDEN_SHA256 39aa886df77b21757aef3b298a389343dc0df5134bb0f14e8f92a451d7bdae87, 656 864 331 B.

The evidence is the ROUND TRIP, not the build log: the published bytes were downloaded back and
match the bake on both size and sha, and ./etc/felhom-controller-image read OUT of the downloaded
archive says felhom-controller:0.229.0 - the delivered artifact naming the controller it will start.
A THIRD independent reader agreed before anything was vouched: the hub's own Day-0 dropdown read the
same sha straight from Gitea, a different code path.

Both pre-gates were proven able to see something before their negative results were believed - the
404 pre-gate against a 200 from 0.228.0, and the token-leak grep against a seeded throwaway copy.
Acceptance markers counted on the COMMITTED log: 1/1/1/1 present, 0/0/0 absent.

The vouch is a three-field change, checked rather than assumed: MinAgent 0.129.0 read from the
golden's controller CHANGELOG header, agent_version 0.130.0 >= min_agent 0.129.0 (not the R-216
shape), agent_sha256 and wrapper_sha256 carried through explicitly because the handler clears a
field it is not sent. Verified by re-reading the manifest, never by trusting the flash. The R-120
gate PASSED rather than being bypassed - fleet newest 0.229.0, golden 0.229.0.

The floor is proven ACTING, not merely set: demo-felhom self-updated 0.228.0 -> 0.229.0 and logged
settle-gate GO at/above floor 0.229.0. Nobody deployed to that box. Both demo machines now carry the
Tier-2 unit restore.

golden_currency_gate.py went red -> green; the --no-verify bypass declared on c2de785 is now
historical. R-242's other half is untouched and still open: nothing gates the VOUCH itself.

Teardown: build guest 9100 destroyed --purge, token/runner/script/log shredded AFTER the log was
copied out, VM powered off, qemu confirmed gone from ps -eo comm, disk reverted to virgin.

admin c2de785bf2 R-102 + R-103 CLOSED (controller v0.229.0) — architecture, register, STATUS, drill evidence
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
07-backup-architecture: 6.3's Tier-2 row moves to CLOSED with the old sentence kept in the past
tense, as the section's own practice requires; 7.2's first bullet says plainly that Tier-2 can now
meet its prerequisite in the failure it exists for; 8 row 3b NONE -> PROVEN (28.65 s, cited);
row 4 stays PARTIAL with a changed reason - the ROUTE is proven, the drive-loss JOURNEY is not, and
no drive has ever died or been replaced under this recovery. 8.1's blanks updated per row.

6.2's unresolved count is SETTLED by measurement at catalogue 459766cb1639: A=7 B=45 C=1. The INV
enumeration was right; C9-F1 Phase 0 missed radarr and sonarr, whose USERDATA_PATH binds are
WRITABLE so the :ro default rule Phase 0 applied does not reach them - they carry an explicit
class: excluded entry instead. Class C is bentopdf. No catalogue file was changed.

00-capability-map: the Tier-2 row records R-102 closed with the route; the D5 row's 'not exercised
live' clause is struck for Tier-2's own cross-drive copy of a secret-bearing unit, with the evidence
path; the header note points at the settled count instead of warning it is unresolved.

Register: R-102, R-103 and their C9-F4 / C9-F1b aliases closed and compressed into CLOSED-ITEMS
(596 -> 593 lines, each naming git show 1623a4d5b5 for the original). R-403 filed - after a
restore that runs while the primary unit is absent, the next status refresh writes a HOLLOW primary
unit; the dangerous half is recorded as UNMEASURED with the experiment that would settle it.

R-242: sixth conviction of golden_currency_gate. THIS PUSH USES git push --no-verify, declared here
and in felhom-controller/REPORT.md - a BYPASS, not a waiver. The day-0 ground was re-checked, not
reused: R-102/R-103 are restore-surface changes and a day-0 box has taken no Tier-2 copy; MinAgent
unchanged at 0.129.0. OWED: bake a golden carrying 0.229.0, vouch it, raise the floor.

Drill evidence: documentation/audits/DRILL-r102-tier2-unit-2026-08-31/ - README plus nine phase logs
and the hollow manifest, including the two things that went wrong (a destruction that destroyed
nothing, and a password misdiagnosis that changed the box and was repaired).

admin 1623a4d5b5 golden 0.228.0 — baked, published, round-trip verified, vouched, floor raised
gates / gates (push) Successful in 19s
Bake: build-golden.sh v3.0.0 in the drill VM, reverted to virgin and cold-booted.
GOLDEN_SHA256 76a3a98b9e7cc23bf8ae51b38a6272f576df285cb34cd22235ac3f06a31e53ec,
658 079 744 B. All four acceptance markers counted 1; excluding/FATAL/mp1 counted 0.

The 404 pre-gate was proven to work before its 404 was believed — the target URL
404'd while the existing 0.227.1 package 200'd on the same command.

The evidence is the ROUND TRIP: the downloaded bytes match the bake's size and
sha, and ./etc/felhom-controller-image read OUT of the downloaded archive says
gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.228.0.

Vouch: three fields together — golden_version 0.228.0, agent_version 0.130.0,
min_agent 0.129.0 (read from the controller CHANGELOG header, not assumed);
wrapper_sha256 carried through explicitly. agent >= min_agent, so not the R-216
shape. Verified by RE-READING the manifest, never the flash. R-120 gate passed.

Floor raised 0.227.1 -> 0.228.0 (impact preview {"below":3,"valid":true}).
The floor is ACTING: demo-felhom self-updated 0.227.1 -> 0.228.0 in under a
minute and re-registered offsite-integrity by itself. Both demo boxes now
re-read their whole off-site store on the weekly check.

Token hygiene: file->file scp, runner script inside the VM, unit properties
grepped 0. The leak grep on the committed log was proven with a planted copy
(1) before its 0 was believed. Teardown: guest 9100 purged, secrets shredded
after the log was copied out, VM off, disk reverted to virgin.

golden_currency_gate.py red -> green. All 12 felhom.eu gates OK.

admin 77a5a1154b docs: controller v0.228.0 — R-399/R-400 closed, R-401/R-402 filed
gates / gates (push) Failing after 19s
STATUS.md: header said 2026-08-23 over a 2026-08-30 body, and two "Waiting on
you" items were both numbered 4 — both fixed. R-399 leaves that section (decided
and shipped); the depth change is stated in plain words and the remaining items
each say what happens if Viktor does nothing.

00-capability-map.md: the off-site verification row now carries its DEPTH, and
its live citation is the 2026-08-31 run at 100%. The weekly firing at the new
depth stays IMPLEMENTED, not PROVEN-LIVE.

07-backup-architecture.md §10.2: R-399 recorded closed, with the one sentence
that stops it being turned back down — the structure check PASSED a
size-preserving pack corruption. R-87 untouched and still OPEN.

Register: R-399 and R-400 compressed into CLOSED-ITEMS.md with their reasoning
kept and 300d7e8 named as the commit holding the originals. R-401 filed with a
TRIGGER (the slow-check WARN firing) rather than a date. R-402 filed: the
integrity verdict and its depth are on the wire and no hub surface reads either.
OPEN 166 -> 165, CLOSED 148 -> 150.

wire_contract_gate.py: offsite.last_integrity_depth allowlisted WITH ITS REASON
beside its sibling last_integrity_ok, both to be deleted together when a hub
surface is built (R-402).

admin db0812b6f2 Golden 0.227.1 baked, vouched, floor raised — and the floor delivered the new job by itself
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Second full delivery of the day. golden_currency_gate.py went red -> green on
the same command, so the --no-verify bypass declared on the previous push is now
historical rather than standing.

  GOLDEN_VERSION  0.227.1
  GOLDEN_SHA256   66754491dc9bd0130ef8ded9562f63c53a5ffdcfd91baa551141e55fa083ea32
  size            657 403 203 B
  baked           gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.227.1
  MinAgent        0.129.0  (read from the controller CHANGELOG header, not assumed)

THE EVIDENCE IS THE ROUND TRIP. The published bytes were downloaded back -- size
and sha256 identical to what the bake reported -- and ./etc/felhom-controller-
image was read OUT of the downloaded archive: felhom-controller:0.227.1. That is
the delivered artifact naming the controller it will start, from the bytes a
customer's box would actually fetch.

Markers counted: docker OK (overlay2 = 1, mount point rootfs = 1, mp0 = 1,
upload OK (HTTP 201) = 1; excluding = 0, FATAL = 0, mp1 = 0. 404 pre-gate passed
before the run and the script's own pre-delete agreed, so nothing was
overwritten.

Three-field vouch, all three checked: agent_version 0.130.0 >= min_agent 0.129.0
(NOT the R-216 shape), wrapper_sha256 carried through explicitly because the
handler clears it when omitted. Verified by RE-READING the manifest rather than
trusting the flash. The R-120 gate on that POST passed on its own terms rather
than being worked around.

AND THE LINE WORTH KEEPING. demo-felhom self-updated 0.226.1 -> 0.227.1 in under
30 seconds and then logged:

  [INFO] [scheduler] Daily job offsite-integrity scheduled for 2026-08-31 06:00 CEST

A box nobody deployed to now runs today's off-site integrity check on its own
schedule. That is a floor DELIVERING rather than merely recording, observed
instead of assumed -- and it is the strongest evidence R-242 has carried.

Token hygiene: file->file, read inside the VM by a runner script, never on a
command line (systemctl show ... grep -c -F token = 0). The leak grep on the
committed log was PROVEN TO WORK before its 0 was believed.

Teardown: guest 9100 destroyed --purge, secrets shredded AFTER the log was
copied out, VM powered off, disk reverted to virgin.

R-242 now records the cadence as MEASURED: five convictions and two full bakes
in one day. Every bypass declared, every debt paid -- and the pattern the row
exists to name is exactly that a release and its delivery are separate acts. Its
other half stays open: nothing gates the VOUCH itself.

admin 99af997ab9 R-359/R-397 closed, R-398 corrected, R-399/R-400 filed with measured numbers
gates / gates (push) Failing after 18s
THE MEASUREMENT IS THE STORY, and it re-frames the row it was filed under. A
pack was corrupted WITHOUT changing its size; plain `restic check` -- the depth
that ships ON -- returned `no errors were found`, exit 0. Only --read-data
caught it. So the check that shipped verifies the index, the pack inventory and
the snapshot graph, and does NOT re-hash pack contents. R-399 was filed as a
bandwidth-and-cadence question; it is more than that, and its row now says so.

R-399 gets three MEASURED numbers instead of estimates: store 140 829 678 B /
2651 blobs / 67 snapshots; structure check 35.0 s; curve 10% 35.9 s, 50% 37.3 s,
100% 39.2 s. At this size re-reading everything costs four seconds more than
reading none, because the wall clock is SFTP round-trips not transfer. The row
states the limit too: these do NOT extrapolate.

R-400: the sweep the task asked for found EIGHT dead debug buttons, not one. 24
endpoints referenced in debug.html, 17 dispatched. Single dispatcher, exact
match, default NotFound -- so they 404. A third of a debug page does nothing, on
the surface an operator reaches for when something is already wrong.

R-398 is CORRECTED AND LEFT OPEN, not closed. I filed it yesterday saying
resticStep is not a seam so no test can drive a restic path. The layer below it
has been injectable since the off-site tier shipped. The row survives as the
record that the seam EXISTS so nobody re-files it.

07 gap register: R-359 and R-397 closed; R-87 restated IN PLACE as "AND IT IS
NOT R-359" because the two rows are adjacent and a check is not a restore-test.
08 alarm ladder: both event types recorded, including that `ok` is `info` and
therefore mails nobody BY DESIGN, and that all three registers were checked and
deliberately left alone. 00 capability map: PROVEN-LIVE for the check, the
notifier and the hazard control; the scheduled firing is IMPLEMENTED only,
because a week has not passed.

wire_contract_gate: `offsite.last_integrity_ok` allowlisted WITH A REASON. The
gate was right -- the controller emits a field no hub struct can decode.
Building the display is a hub change and R-331 ruled that class the operator's
decision; the entry says to delete it when a surface exists.

This push used `git push --no-verify`. golden-currency is CONVICTED and right:
0.227.1 is released and the golden carries 0.226.1. A BYPASS, not a waiver, and
the task spec directs it -- golden and fleet delivery are Viktor's (R-242). It
is item 3 under "Waiting on you".

Register 163 -> 165 -> 163.

admin 4f875174fe Golden 0.226.1 baked, vouched, and the fleet floor raised — the debt is paid
gates / gates (push) Successful in 17s
golden_currency_gate.py had been CONVICTED four times today across three
controller releases. One bake covers all three, and the gate went red -> green
on the same command, which is its proof that it measures something real. THE
THREE DECLARED BYPASSES ARE NOW HISTORICAL RATHER THAN STANDING.

  GOLDEN_VERSION  0.226.1
  GOLDEN_SHA256   70ed8e9377dec22a9b493e55f222b0e25a49d7f3caec8c506e0412fd6baefe69
  size            657 197 592 B
  baked           gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.226.1
  MinAgent        0.129.0  (read from the controller CHANGELOG header, not assumed)

THE EVIDENCE IS THE ROUND TRIP, NOT THE BUILD LOG. The published bytes were
downloaded back -- size and sha256 both identical to what the bake reported --
and ./etc/felhom-controller-image was read OUT of the downloaded archive:
`felhom-controller:0.226.1`. That is the delivered artifact naming the
controller it will start, from the bytes a customer's box would actually fetch.

Acceptance markers counted, not eyeballed, each string captured from this run's
own log rather than paraphrased from the runbook (two of the three the runbook
named until R-233 could not match anything the script prints): docker OK
(overlay2 = 1, including mount point rootfs = 1, mp0 = 1, upload OK (HTTP 201) =
1; excluding = 0, FATAL = 0, mp1 = 0. The 404 pre-gate passed before the run, so
nothing was overwritten.

THE VOUCH IS A THREE-FIELD CHANGE AND ALL THREE WERE CHECKED: agent_version
0.130.0 >= min_agent 0.129.0, so NOT the R-216 shape; wrapper_sha256 carried
through explicitly because the handler clears it when omitted. Verified by
RE-READING the manifest rather than trusting the flash -- golden option 0.226.1
SELECTED, all four shas matching.

THE FLOOR IS PROVEN ACTING, NOT MERELY SET. demo-felhom self-updated within 30
seconds: "[selfupdate] Post-update startup: update successful (0.225.0 ->
0.226.1)". Both demo machines now run 0.226.1 and only one of them was deployed
to by hand.

Token hygiene: copied file->file, read inside the VM by a runner script, never
on a command line (systemctl show ... | grep -c -F token = 0). THE LEAK GREP ON
THE COMMITTED LOG WAS PROVEN TO WORK BEFORE ITS 0 WAS BELIEVED -- a throwaway
copy with the token appended grepped 1, was shredded, and only then was the real
log's 0 taken as evidence.

Teardown: build guest 9100 destroyed --purge, secrets shredded AFTER the log was
copied out (standing rule 5), VM powered off, disk reverted to virgin.

R-242's OTHER half is untouched and still open: nothing gates the VOUCH itself.

admin c8100aad6b Housekeeping + R-397/R-398 filed
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
Compresses the six rows closed today into CLOSED-ITEMS, keeping title, shipping
version, evidence paths and every sentence that states a RULE. Full original:
`git show e027b5d9 -- documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. No open row touched.
Register 165 -> 167 -> 161.

Files two rows that would otherwise have died in an overwritten REPORT.md, which
is what the controller's observations gate exists to prevent:

R-397 -- NotifyIntegrityOK/NotifyIntegrityFailed have no caller anywhere and the
controller runs no integrity check at all. The part that actively misleads is not
the dead code: config.Monitoring.PingUUIDs carries a backup_integrity field and
the monitoring page renders "Mentes integritas -- Hetente (vasarnap)", so the
operator is told a weekly check runs. Decide WHETHER one is wanted, then delete
or build -- do not leave the third state.

R-398 -- resticStep is not a seam, so no test can drive any restic-backed path.
Felt directly in v0.226.0: R-358's safety property is an ORDER (clear the marker
before restic, write it after) and with no seam it could only be pinned by an AST
walk. The contrast is the argument -- offboxLatestSnapshot got a seam in the same
release, in four lines, because a correctness gate could not otherwise be proven.

This push used `git push --no-verify`. golden-currency remains CONVICTED and
remains right: three controller releases today, golden still 0.223.0. Bypass, not
waiver, on the operator's standing ruling, re-checked for this release rather
than reused blindly. Tracked on R-242; one bake carrying 0.226.0 covers all three.

admin e027b5d999 Register + architecture for controller v0.226.0 (R-353/357/358/360/396), and R-395 fixed
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
Closes R-353, R-357, R-358 and R-360 with their shipping version and evidence
path, and files two new rows.

R-396 (NEW, closed by the same release) is what answering R-358's open question
turned up, and it is worse than the question assumed. The spec asked whether a
unit-only scratch is reachable through the real UI flow. It is, by the SAFEST
action on the page: "Ellenorzo visszaallitas" (mode=unit, advertised
non-destructive) calls RestoreOffboxScratch(full=false);
offboxRestoreScratchDir IGNORES `full`, so both modes write the same directory,
and --include limits what restic extracts, never where; the wizard derives BOTH
PlaceEnabled and RestoreEnabled from one ScratchReady flag. So a customer who
ran the safe restore was then offered the destructive one over a unit-only copy.
One boolean drove three different intents and the weakest set the answer.

R-395 (filed by the spec) is fixed in this commit, not just recorded. STATUS.md
said golden 0.223.0 / floor 0.222.0 in one block and demo-hp 0.219.0 / floor
0.218.0 fourteen lines below, cross-referencing an item that said "Nothing
else". The fix REMOVES the duplicate rather than correcting it -- the same fact
was written twice with no link, and only one copy had a reason to be touched
during a release. "What works" now points at the item above instead of restating
a version.

07-backup-architecture: four rows added to the 10.2 gap register plus R-396.
Section 8 matrix row 3 KEEPS its PROVEN status, with the reason stated: R-353
was a defect in the MESSAGE, not the mechanism. The restore always returned what
the unit held; what it could not do was say so. A status that measures whether
data comes back must not move because a status line was wrong.

00-capability-map: one new row, and it splits what is claimed. R-353's sentence,
R-358's marker and R-360's refusal are PROVEN-LIVE with a live citation. R-357
is IMPLEMENTED ONLY -- filling a real filesystem is a drill step, not a build
step. R-353's Scenario B was ALSO not reproduced live and says so: no app on
demo-hp still has a data-less unit, and falsifying a manifest to make one is the
hand-set-state shortcut this project forbids.

This push used `git push --no-verify`. golden-currency was CONVICTED and it is
RIGHT: three controller releases (0.224.0, 0.225.0, 0.226.0) and the golden
still carries 0.223.0. A BYPASS, not a waiver, on the operator's standing ruling
from earlier today, re-checked rather than assumed -- all three are invisible to
a day-0 box, and a restore-surface fix in particular has nothing to act on there.
The ground expires the moment a release changes first-boot behaviour. Tracked on
R-242; ONE bake carrying 0.226.0 covers all three.

admin ac6ac037bc R-331 live: the Backup card now reads 67 snapshots, not 0
gates / gates (push) Failing after 17s
Hub 0.109.0 + controller 0.225.0 deployed and verified from the live objects,
not from a rollout message (an ArgoCD "rolled out" can name the old image):
argocd sync=Synced rev==HEAD, deploy and pod both on felhom-hub:0.109.0, both
boxes on felhom-controller:0.225.0 (healthy).

Fetched from the live hub at the exact URL the operator's browser requests:
  demo-hp      67 snapshots / 134.3 MB / last success 15h ago / 50 GB quota
  demo-felhom  10 snapshots / 132.5 KB / last success 15h ago / 50 GB quota
Both read "Snapshots 0 / Repo Size 0 MB / Integrity Unknown" before this change.
Integrity row grep count is 0 on both pages.

Cross-checked against the SOURCE rather than against the card itself: the boxes'
own settings.json hold snapshot_count 67 / 10 and repo_size_bytes 140829678 /
135635, and 135635/1024 = 132.5 KB, matching the rendered value.

Stated rather than implied: the "never measured" branch was NOT verified live.
Both boxes report stats_known:true, so exercising it would have meant falsifying
a box's state. It is covered at render level by TestBackupCard_ThreeWayRuling and
TestBackupCard_OldControllerDegradesToUnknownNotEmpty.

admin 36f8630020 R-341 check taken, and the golden-currency bypass declared
gates / gates (push) Failing after 16s
Two gates blocked the R-331 hub push. One is FIXED, one is BYPASSED, and the
difference is stated rather than blurred.

FIXED -- due-checks (R-341, 5 days overdue). The +7d measurement was TAKEN on
ep0 rather than deferred again. Precondition passed: proxy still MainPID 551655,
ps -o lstart= still 2026-08-18 09:51:04, NRestarts=0, so this is the same proxy
generation as t0 (anchor is ps, not ActiveEnterTimestamp, which reads 03:54:54Z
here -- R-346's trap).

Result: fd = 17. Not 17 more -- seventeen TOTAL, exactly the documented
baseline, against 405 at the first check. Socket histogram: one LISTEN, ESTAB 0,
CLOSE-WAIT 0.

The verdict is UNANSWERABLE, not "the upgrade fixed it". R-341 asks whether the
PBS 4.2.5-1 upgrade changed the fd slope; inside this interval we removed the
leak OURSELVES (R-344, agent 0.130.0, now live on both boxes). A slope of ~0
measures our fix, not the upgrade, and reading it the other way would credit a
changelog that was read in advance and found to contain no such mechanism. The
perturbation pre-registered for this window was Phase C at ~3%; the actual
perturbation was the removal of the entire phenomenon. Row closed as moot.

What it DOES establish is worth more than the original question: twelve days
after the R-344 fix, same proxy generation, no restart to hide behind, ep0 sits
at baseline with zero established connections. R-336's ~323-day runway concern
retires with it.

BYPASSED -- golden-currency. Controller v0.224.0 and v0.225.0 are released and
the newest golden bake carries 0.223.0, so a machine installed right now gets
neither. The gate is RIGHT. This push therefore uses `git push --no-verify`,
declared here, in hub/CHANGELOG.md, in REPORT.md and on R-242.

A BYPASS, not a waiver: the gate offers a waiver only for a release that
DELIBERATELY needs no golden, and these need one. The operator was asked and
ruled bypass-now-bake-later, on the ground that neither fix bites a day-0 box --
R-330 is a nightly false alarm about apps a new box has not installed yet, R-331
is a hub display over backups a new box has not taken yet -- and both arrive by
self-update. That ground is recorded because it is what to re-check: it does NOT
extend to a release changing first-boot behaviour.

OWED: bake a golden carrying 0.225.0 and vouch it (RUNBOOK-manual-build.md 4.1,
three-field change, MinAgent 0.129.0). Fourth bypass of this gate, and the gap
is now two releases wide rather than one.

admin f5c9411e5e R-331 (hub half): the Backup card reads offsite, not the dead backup fields (v0.109.0)
The customer page's Backup card read `Snapshots 0 / Repo Size 0 MB / Integrity
Unknown` for EVERY customer, indefinitely. Measured on demo-hp 2026-08-30 while
that night's controller log said `[offbox] backup OK: 8 app(s) backed up, 67
snapshot(s), 2m14s` and the box held snapshot_count:67, repo_size_bytes:
140829678, stats_known:true.

A card reading "no backups" over a working backup is worse than no card -- the
R-88 direction of failure (degrade to NO BACKUP rather than to UNKNOWN) on the
one screen that answers "is this customer protected?".

The data was never missing. The card rendered the report's `backup` object,
whose snapshot/size/integrity fields have had no producer since slice 8C. The
live numbers are in the `offsite` object, which THIS PACKAGE already reads for
the Offsite page and which monitor.OffsiteChecker already alarms from. Proof the
bytes were arriving: the Offsite page rendered demo-hp's usage as 0.1 GB from
that very object while the Backup card said 0 MB. So this is a render fix over
an existing feed, not a new pipeline.

Not a one-line swap, because snapshot_count:0 means two opposite things --
"holds nothing" and "never measured". R-225 measured that confusion one layer
down. backup_card.go resolves a three-way ruling in Go (a {{if}} chain over
map[string]interface{} float64s cannot keep the absent/zero distinction the card
is entirely about):
  no offsite object   -> "No off-site data reported", and says explicitly that
                         this is NOT the same as "no backups"
  disabled + state    -> names the blocker (needs_credential)
  stats_known:false   -> em-dash + "never been measured". NEVER 0
  stats_known:true    -> the real numbers, INCLUDING a real 0

A pre-v0.225.0 controller sends no stats_known -> false -> "unknown". That
direction is pinned: upgrading the hub ahead of the fleet must not report every
un-upgraded customer as having zero backups.

The Integrity row is DELETED, not re-sourced: nothing produces it, the
controller runs no integrity check, and NotifyIntegrityOK/Failed are called from
nowhere.

RED-PROOF: restore the pre-fix card markup -> all four tests fail, reporting 67
and 134.3 MB absent from the rendered page and the Integrity row present. The
tests drive handleCustomerUnified and grep the HTML on purpose: the defect was
the template's choice of source object, so a test one layer below it would have
been green against the shipped bug.

Green gate clean: 18 packages, rc 0.

gates / gates (push) Failing after 15s
The four existing skills cover the product; nothing covered how work is
reported. Two rules this project has paid for — check the artifact rather
than the report, and do not state a claim more firmly than the evidence
allows — lived only in the operator's head and in chat, where Claude Code
never read them.

- felhom-evidence      five confidence tiers, artifact-over-report
- felhom-diagnosis     no hypothesis until a command has been seen red
- felhom-plain-language ASD-STE100, two options, the re-pitch
- felhom-handoff       the note goes to a FILE, not the conversation
- felhom-doc-authoring the pointer decides whether material is reached

scripts/check_skills.py asserts what decides whether a skill is EVER
reached: frontmatter parses, name == directory, description and body
non-empty, under 150 lines, installed copy still samefile()s into the
repo. install_skills.py globs and never reads the file, so a missing
description installs perfectly and then silently never loads.

It convicted on its first run: felhom-build-deploy is 179 lines. NOT
trimmed here (pre-existing skills are out of scope, and trimming a
deploy skill without exercising its commands is how a wrong command
reaches a live host) — a named single-entry GRANDFATHERED exception,
WARNed every run, R-394. A new skill over the limit is convicted.

Red-proof run and seen failing: description removed from
felhom-evidence -> exit 1, "frontmatter field 'description' is missing
or empty". Restored, tree clean.

skills/SOURCES.md records both MIT upstreams, that these are adaptations
not copies, and the six pieces deliberately EXCLUDED with reasons.

admin ebdc04601d docs(hub v0.108.0): the delivery grain, the cooldown ruling, and gate 11's first subject
gates / gates (push) Successful in 15s
The alarm ladder gains §6.2 - which events are per-app, per-run, per-tier or
coarse, and why the default is coarse. CONTEXT records two rulings: the grain is
allow-listed rather than inferred from the payload, with crossdrive_failed as
the proof that a payload rule would have been wrong; and a finding recorded only
in REPORT.md has a lifetime of one session.

R-389 closed and compressed, keeping its rules and naming the commit whose
git show returns the full text. R-390 and R-391 left open.

REPORT.md is gate 11's first real subject and passes: six observations, two
FILED, four NOT-A-FINDING with their reasons. Three of those declarations are
things a tidier report would have omitted - the gate's own spec would have
passed the item it was built to catch, the burst has no ceiling, and ArgoCD
said "successfully rolled out" while still running the old image.

STATUS carries forward the one thing outstanding: the controller floor still
reads 0.222.0 while the golden reads 0.223.0.

admin 2fc4a15fa3 R-389: key the operator cooldown per app for app_start_failed; gate 11 makes an unfiled observation refuse the push
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
The cooldown key was customerID:eventType plus the tier and run suffixes, and
none of them names an app, so every app going down inside the same hour
collapsed onto one key and only the first was mailed. Measured on demo-hp:
bookstack sent 09:27:51, privatebin suppressed 09:31:51 under
key=demo-hp:app_start_failed.

cooldownStackSuffix is the third sibling of cooldownTierSuffix and
cooldownRunSuffix, and separate for the reason the second one's docstring
already gives: the existing two keep byte-identical semantics for every type
that uses them.

It is ALLOW-LISTED to app_start_failed and takes the event type as well as the
details, unlike its siblings, and that asymmetry is the safety property. The
backup family's cooldown is coarse ON PURPOSE (R-97a, R-182) so one full disk
sends one digest rather than one mail per app - and crossdrive_failed is
severity error, reaches the operator leg, and carries stack_name through a
DIFFERENT struct, so a payload-shape rule would have split it silently. The
hour itself does not change.

Gate 11 refuses a push whose REPORT.md carries an observation with neither
`FILED: R-NNN` nor `NOT-A-FINDING: <reason>`. It deliberately does NOT accept a
passing mention of some other R-number: the lost item cited R-182 as an analogy,
so "cites a register row" would have passed the very item the gate exists to
catch. That discrepancy with the spec is recorded in the gate's docstring.

Registered here and in the controller and agent runners. NOT in the catalog
runner - it has no shared-gate mechanism and appends --all to every gate;
filed as R-391 rather than left as a sentence, which is this session's lesson.

PROMPT-TEMPLATE.md §15.9 corrected: "documented, NOT acted on" was the wording
that invited the gap, and it now names the markers and points at the gate.

R-390 filed for the golden-bake runbook's missing `pveam update`.

admin f751aea4e3 R-389: file the cooldown-grain finding that was never filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Only the first broken app per hour reaches the operator. The cooldown key is
customerID:eventType plus the tier and run suffixes, and neither reads an app
name, so every app that goes down inside the same hour collapses onto one key.

Measured on demo-hp 2026-08-23: bookstack sent at 09:27:51, privatebin four
minutes later logged `suppressed - operator cooldown 1h,
key=demo-hp:app_start_failed`.

Filed FIRST, before any code, for two reasons. It should have existed since
yesterday and did not - it lived in a REPORT.md observations paragraph and
nowhere else, which is R-341's shape one surface over. And the gate this session
adds refuses a push whose report carries an observation with no row behind it,
so the row has to precede the gate or the gate refuses its own commit.

admin 2f7c9a6ce5 docs(R-329/R-386/R-387): the severity contract, the intent ruling, and Part 5 recorded
gates / gates (push) Successful in 17s
The alarm ladder gains the severity contract (the hub's vocabulary is exact, it
coerces silently, and three things now hold it) and the intent test with its
three-way ruling on unknown. Both marked [DESIGN] with the live measurements.

Part 5 is RECORDED AND NOT IMPLEMENTED: the operator's notification philosophy,
verbatim, marked plainly as direction rather than current behaviour, with the
12 -> 15 toggle growth as the argument. Filed as R-388, a product decision.

R-329 and R-386 compressed into CLOSED-ITEMS with their rules kept and the
full-text commit named. R-387 filed closed - including WHY the dispatcher branch
was kept rather than deleted, which is evidence (three monitor checkers call
ProcessEvent directly) and not caution.

The drill record names three things that had to be re-run: an inert red-proof
mutation, Scenario G refused twice behind an HTTP 200, and the live Scenario A
NOT proving the customer gate because demo-hp has no prefs row at all.

admin 68a9f5475c hub v0.107.0: the hub rewrote a severity and said nothing (R-387); golden 0.223.0
gates / gates (push) Successful in 17s
One handler, two fields, opposite discipline. An unknown event_type is rejected
with a loud 400. An unknown severity was rewritten to "info" without a word -
and severityNotifies drops "info" before BOTH legs, so the event was stored,
answered 200, and mailed to nobody.

Two shipped features went out that way: DiskAlertKind.Severity emitted "warn"
until controller v0.215.0, app_start_failed until v0.223.0. Measured on the live
hub DB today: 91 app_start_failed events stored all-time, ZERO notification_log
rows before this session - not one, on any channel.

The mechanism built to catch this class was structurally blind to it: the
dispatcher's `unrecognized severity` line cannot execute for anything arriving
over the API, because the coercion one line earlier guarantees the value it
looks for cannot arrive.

The coercion STAYS - a rejected event is a lost event, and losing an alarm is
worse than mis-routing one. Only the silence is fixed: a WARN naming the
customer, the event type and the rejected value.

The dispatcher branch is KEPT, not deleted as dead, and the reason is evidence
rather than caution: cmd/hub/main.go wires dispatcher.ProcessEvent DIRECTLY as
the monitor.EventNotifyFunc for the staleness, host-staleness and offsite-box
checkers, which never pass through the handler. For those it is the only
severity guard there is. All 90 severity literals in internal/monitor are
already valid, so the guard is silent because the producers are correct.

Test count 702 -> 709. Red-proof seen failing: delete the WARN line and the
coercion test fails with "the hub rewrote a severity and said nothing".

admin 55274d5ef3 R-385: make an UNRECORDED golden fail the currency gate; file R-386; own the alarm ladder
gates / gates (push) Successful in 17s
The gate failed only on `released > baked`, so it could catch a forgotten bake
and nothing else. A golden AHEAD of the record passed silently - and that is
how controller 0.221.1 was built, baked AND vouched while the newest CHANGELOG
heading still read v0.221.0, with every gate green. Reproduced on the real
history: newest released 0.221.0 / newest golden baked 0.221.1 -> exit 0.

The gate now asks whether the version being shipped is WRITTEN DOWN: the baked
version must have its own `## vX.Y.Z` heading anywhere in the CHANGELOG.
Membership rather than `baked > released` deliberately - a comparison against
the newest heading alone goes green the moment any later entry is written,
leaving the unrecorded version permanently unrecorded. INCONCLUSIVE (exit 2)
preserved; every refusal names a reason and a route.

Red-proofed both directions: old gate/old record exit 0, new gate/old record
exit 1, new gate/fixed record exit 0, absent clone exit 2, post-bake exit 0.

08-alarm-ladder.md is new, and its absence was itself the finding: no document
owned "when does a broken app raise an alarm?". The rules lived as comments in
four packages, each locally correct, with the ordering between them legible only
by reading one function top to bottom - which is how R-384 survived review.

R-383 and R-384 closed into CLOSED-ITEMS with their rules kept. R-385 filed
closed. R-386 filed OPEN: a single-container app stopped out of band raises no
alarm, and a comment claims the opposite - measured live, 9 scans, 0 events,
against a positive control from the same box 17 minutes earlier. Not fixed here.

held app does NOT raise the dead-app alarm. It aggregates to unhealthy, which
IsDownState excludes. Measured on the shipped build with the scans demonstrably
running over it. No suppression was built and no row opened.

R-383: the double-failure message names an undo copy that is not there - R-361's

admin 4e488321bf DRILL R-356b: the off-site restore for a driveless app that HAS a database
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
A drill, not an implementation. No code, no version bump, no CHANGELOG entry.

Ten of the forty driveless apps carry a database; I re-measured that count and
got 10. For those ten the restore is a five-leg operation that never ran at all
until this week, because R-356 refused before any of it started.

Walked end to end on demo-hp for both engines - docmost (Postgres 16) and
bookstack (MariaDB 12.3) - each deployed for the drill, planted through the
app's own interface, destroyed for real, restored through the endpoint the UI
posts to.

Q1 does it complete: YES. All five legs ran and succeeded, 32s / 25s. Accented
names byte-identical both directions.

Q2 which leg won: the SQL DUMP. Three-way discriminator returned the altered
dump's value. This confirms R-164's F17 ordering on the OFF-SITE path; R-164
only ever cited the local one. Scratch-only mutation; store proved unmutated.

Q3 does a failure tell the truth: partly, and two defects.

Filed R-379 (HIGH, the undo copy is valid, named, and unappliable by any product
action - proven by applying it by hand on both engines), R-380 (HIGH, a failed
MariaDB replay leaves a partial database behind an app reporting healthy, where
Postgres crash-loops visibly), R-381 (MEDIUM, the failure message pastes engine
stderr including customer table rows into the Hungarian surface), R-382 (LOW,
the summary log omits the volume count it already has).

H1, H2 and H4 did NOT fire and that is recorded. H3 fired in a shape nobody
predicted: not a quiet success, but a loud error over a silent inconsistency.

R-361 reproduced independently on a second app. restic check: no errors, 29
snapshots. A flaw in the drill's own planting - a double-escaped accented title -
was caught by reading stored bytes as hex, recorded, and re-measured in Phase 1b.

Register 325236 -> 330683 bytes. Nothing dropped. Teardown: two apps retained
with reason, no pvesm before-snapshot taken (said plainly), no hub-side record
created.

Compressing a finished row out of OPEN-ITEMS.md into CLOSED-ITEMS.md is the
documented housekeeping act. The gate read only OPEN-ITEMS.md and ROADMAP.md, so
the first compression (ef6ac6f) turned every citation of a compressed item into
'a reference to nothing' and failed CI on the next push, in felhom-controller,
for a rule file nobody had touched.

CLOSED-ITEMS.md now answers 'does this ID exist', and answers 'closed' for the
rows it owns. OPEN-ITEMS.md stays the sole authority on OPENNESS: a row it
already claims as open is not overridden.

Both controls still convict: an ID present nowhere fails, and a citation claiming
a closed item is still open fails.

admin ef6ac6fe74 One register, enforced by a gate; closed work compressed into siblings (R-376..R-378)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Records and process only. No machine contacted.

ONE REGISTER (operator ruling). 17 roadmap rows moved into OPEN-ITEMS.md keeping their
identifiers, evidence and original filing dates - the oldest R-10, filed 2026-07-15, 38 days.
15 ideas stay in ROADMAP.md, which is their home; the gate exempts them by their own state
word. 59 already-closed rows stay as history. Sorting rule recorded in the roadmap header:
does the item assert something about the shipped product a reader could check and find false?

scripts/one_register_gate.py, wired as the 11th gate. Control run: baseline passes, a planted
open roadmap-only row is convicted by name, removing it passes with the file byte-identical,
and a planted `idea` row is correctly exempt. Its four residual holes are in its docstring.

The gate earned its keep immediately: it caught R-103, a READY finding my hand-sort mis-read as
done because my regex matched the whole row where the body contains "shipped" - the gate matches
the state cell. It also caught R-203 and R-163, recorded closed in the register and still open in
the roadmap; the roadmap copies are marked SUPERSEDED with the register's verdict.

HOUSEKEEPING. OPEN-ITEMS 672,376 -> 327,109 bytes (-51%); ROADMAP 239,306 -> 78,110 (-67%).
Closed work compressed to 17% into CLOSED-ITEMS.md and ROADMAP-HISTORY.md; every entry names the
commit whose git show returns the full original text. Rule-sentences are kept verbatim under
"Reasoning kept" rather than judged entry by entry - 25 carry one.

CONTEXT.md deliberately NOT compressed and the disagreement is argued in the report: 86% of it is
standing rulings still in force, this prompt's own 3.4 says the log is never edited, and it has no
per-ruling delimiter. Filed as R-377 - the problem is navigational, not volumetric.

The hot/bulk placement decision was NEVER recorded as a decision anywhere - established, not
assumed. Now marked [DESIGN] with a pointer honest about having no original date, given a
decision-log entry that records what was rejected, and the [DESIGN]/[FACT] legend carried from 1
of 8 architecture documents to 8 of 8. Existing statements deliberately left unmarked (R-376).

PROMPT-TEMPLATE gains N.7: compress what you closed, rehome live reasoning before it goes, state
the register's size before and after.

Ceiling R-375 -> R-378.

admin 091a4b7444 Correct the placement mis-framing, and file what we wrote down and never filed (R-368..R-375)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Documentation and survey only. No code, no machine contacted.

THE CORRECTION. The 40 catalogue templates without a configurable path are not missing a
choice: 01-topology-and-trust.md:150-152 classes each volume hot (DB/config/cache -> fast
storage, ENFORCED) or bulk (media/files), and the 40 are all-hot apps. The deploy page has
been saying so to the customer all along (deploy.html:624-625). SPEC-app-data-placement and
R-352 are corrected in place with the framing MARKED, not deleted; every measurement stands.
R-356 was re-checked and survives, strengthened - an absent HDD_PATH is the normal state, so
reading it as "not installed" misreads a correct configuration.

The disk claim, precisely: since R-165 there is ONE guest data volume with two binds, not two
volumes (build-golden.sh:29-40, 99). A physical-disk failure losing data and first-tier copy
together is REAL and is what the other tiers exist for. A full data volume stopping the OS is
NOT real and was the overstated one.

THE SWEEP. 113 survey-class documents examined, 14 statements of "not filed", 2 already filed.
Its positive control convicted the sweep itself twice before it convicted the corpus - markdown
bold broke the strongest pattern, and the reporter re-searched a truncated line - both false
zeros of the exact class being hunted, and together worth 2 of the 14.

THE HEADLINE. The gap the 2026-08-21 drill rediscovered WAS filed - as R-107, ROADMAP.md:122,
M/READY, 2026-07-28 - and is absent from OPEN-ITEMS.md, which calls itself the single source of
truth. OPEN-ITEMS and that rule both landed 2026-07-27; R-107 went to ROADMAP alone the day
after. 72 ids live only in ROADMAP, 29 not done, some of them findings. Filed as R-369 (HIGH).

Five more still-open gaps filed with their ages: R-371 (17d), R-372 (38d, the oldest), R-373
(20d), R-374 (14d), R-375 (4d). R-368 corrects Part 4: the storage default IS applied at deploy
time via deploy.html:612 - the earlier "the deploy route never reads it" came from grepping Go
and never the templates. R-370 records the process failure and is closed by the template change.

PROMPT-TEMPLATE gains the two rules it lacked: name the architecture document for the area and
say what it says (with a file->area map and the test "is this something we chose?"), and an
enumerated gap becomes a register row in the same session - a ROADMAP row alone does not count.

Ceiling R-367 -> R-375.

admin ca543b8f69 where-felhom-stands: bring the picture up to 2026-08-22, and stop the page disagreeing with its source
gates / gates (push) Successful in 15s
Eight claims re-checked against the drill and the v0.218.0 fixes; three moved, all downward.

  backup.offsite            walked -> partial. "18 snapshots, daily, unbroken" was true on
                            2026-08-09 and false by 2026-08-21: the next snapshot after that date
                            was put there by hand, twelve days later. The rebuild lost the target
                            and the per-app switches came back off, so a run reported "backup OK:
                            0 app(s) backed up".
  fail.wiped-reinstalled.data  walked -> partial. A real reinstall orphans BOTH off-premises tiers:
                            restic silently for 12 days (R-193), and the PBS archives from before
                            the reinstall cannot be opened by the rebuilt box at all (R-366).
  backup.fill-warning       walked -> partial. The warning fires correctly, but the watcher runs
                            once a day, so a filesystem that fills at 03:31 goes unannounced for
                            ~24 h. Watched silent while a volume sat at 99%.

Five re-checked and held: backup.tier1 and recover.byte-identical carry the R-355/R-354 story and
their fixes; backup.restore-proof stays grey for a sharper reason (orphaned archives, not an
untested tier); backup.sikeres gains two fresh instances; fail.customer-self-restore records that
R-356 now blocks 40 of 53 apps regardless of who is driving.

render_stands.py: the header's commit shas were hardcoded, so the page cited the August 9th commits
while the YAML said otherwise - the stale-build-product failure the renderer exists to prevent. They
are parsed now. The count beside them said "15 status(es) moved in that pass" when 15 was every
recorded move ever; it now separates the two numbers.

check_stands passes, and was itself proven able to convict first: a claim marked `missing` flipped to
`walked` in a scratch copy fired rule 5 by name (use.dlna), and the real file still passes.

admin 877fcd2a38 R-354 + R-355 CLOSED, proven live; golden 0.218.0 baked; R-367 filed
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Both of the drill's HIGH findings are fixed in controller v0.218.0 and confirmed on demo-hp with
a negative control first — the same planted, hash-recorded fixture run through the same steps on
both builds.

R-355: paperless-ngx's PostgreSQL was dumped into a directory for a stack that does not exist, so
it never entered the recovery unit, the off-site copy or the restore; and because the same wrong
name reached writeSafetyDump, a destructive restore took no undo copy and the fail-closed refusal
was never reached. Fixed by reading the compose project label. Sweep proven able to convict
before its count was trusted: one affected app of 53.

R-354: the off-site restore had no named-volume leg. Now it replays them from the scratch unit,
before the database and inside the stopped window, and VolumesReplayed reaches the sentence.
The half-false comment beside the skip is corrected and the half that still holds is named.

Golden 0.218.0 baked and published, sha 8e427869d13eafb71562b77d1535eef6c7f32b4db24f659b988ec6d7db8f478b,
verified by round trip on the downloaded bytes. NOT vouched and the floor NOT raised — both are
the operator's decision, and raising the floor is what puts this on demo-felhom, which is still
on 0.217.0 and still has both defects.

R-367 filed: the dumps already written under the wrong name are stranded. Nothing deletes them
(an existing guard), they are adoptable by hand, and doing it automatically would be a migration.

Ceiling R-366 -> R-367.

admin 7064596c2e DRILL closeout: the scheduled cycle agrees, the abandonment sweep watched firing, R-366
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
The box's own 02:30 / 03:30 / 04:15 cycle ran unattended and agrees with the manual one
on every measure. The one that matters: R-355 is not an artefact of manual triggering —
the scheduled run again wrote paperless-ngx's PostgreSQL dump into a directory for a
stack that does not exist, and again left the app's own unit recording db_dumps: null.

Part 4.2's terminal deletion has now been observed. At 05:10 the sweep removed exactly
the recorded set-aside store and left the live repository untouched; at 05:13 the hub
dropped the sealed package that protected it and said so (event 3025). Both halves went
together, three minutes apart, and the controller cleared its own state. demo-felhom's
two preserved fixtures were verified untouched throughout.

R-366 (HIGH) filed, found incidentally: the 21 August reinstall orphaned demo-hp's PBS
whole-guest archives as well as its restic repo, so a rebuilt box loses BOTH off-premises
tiers at once. The restore-test caught it and named the key mismatch precisely; it is
merely called "a failed restore test" rather than "your older backups are unreadable".

demo-hp is left HEALTHY, not broken. Ceiling R-353 -> R-366.

admin d895d9f7dd STATUS + capability map: narrow the end-to-end off-site claim to the leg it was proven on
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
The 2026-08-04 row claimed "a customer's file survives a machine rebuild and comes back
— the whole off-site story, end to end". Tonight's drill shows that holds for the
declared-userdata leg of a drive-declaring app and for nothing else: the off-site restore
has no named-volume leg (R-354), and refuses outright for the 40 apps that declare no data
drive (R-356). Since that class keeps ALL its data in named volumes, the end-to-end story
is unproven there and disproven for the volume leg generally. The escrow/key half of the
row is untouched and still stands.

STATUS.md also corrects the fleet pair it still named (0.214.0/0.129.0 -> 0.217.0/0.130.0)
and records that demo-hp's off-site had been silent since 9 August.

admin f5a4fceeeb DRILL 2026-08-21: the off-site restore never replays named volumes (R-354..R-365)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Diagnostic only — no code changed, no version bumped, nothing deployed.

The verdict is a mixture. The unit and the off-site snapshot HOLD the data, proven
by identity in both storage classes including two Hungarian accented filenames. The
loss is in the last leg: ReconstituteFromOffsite skips every isUnit placement and the
volume tars live inside the unit, so the off-site full restore has no named-volume
leg at all — while the local restore-from-unit does, and returned the same tar
byte-identical minutes later.

Twelve rows opened, ceiling R-353 -> R-365. Three HIGH:
  R-354 off-site restore never replays volume dumps
  R-355 paperless-ngx's Postgres is dumped under a non-existent stack, so its unit
        has no DB dump, no safety dump is taken, and the customer is told it has none
  R-356 the off-site restore refuses for all 40 no-drive apps saying the running app
        "is not installed", with a remedy those apps make impossible

R-353's instruction (2) is satisfied and annotated: the 40-class DOES reach the
off-site tier. Its instruction (1) stands and is now larger. R-329 confirmed still
live and now the only bad-severity emit fleet-wide.

Published package fetched back over HTTPS: HTTP 200.

Token handling: copied file->file, read by a runner script inside the VM, never on a command
line. systemctl show of the live unit contained it 0 times. The committed bake.log greps 0 for
the literal token AND the grep was first PROVEN to work on that same file by appending the token
to a throwaway copy (grep = 1) then shredding it — a 0 from an untested grep is not evidence.

Evidence copied off the VM BEFORE teardown. Then destroy 9100 --purge, shred token+runner+script
+log inside the VM (0 left), poweroff, waited for qemu using `ps -eo comm` (never `pgrep -f`,
which self-matches), and reverted the drill VM to `virgin`.

This unblocks the golden-currency gate, which correctly refused the previous push of the register
rows: "controller v0.217.0 is released and NO golden carries it". No --no-verify was used.

NOT DONE: the vouch. It is operator-gated and is a THREE-field change; vouching golden_version
alone would ship this controller onto an agent older than it declares it needs.

admin 67356c9e5c register: R-351 CLOSED, R-352 partly, R-353 OPEN (next session's first item) + placement spec
R-351 - the restore never read back where the backup said the data lived, and a second press
started a second restore. Both shipped in controller v0.217.0.

R-352 - four measured untruths about where an app's data goes:
  1. 40 of 53 catalogue templates declare no data path (13 declare env_var: HDD_PATH)
  2. GetDefaultStoragePath() has three non-test callers and NONE of them places data; its
     field comment "new apps use this by default" has never been true
  3. the first-tier backup follows the data onto the same disk (GetAppDrivePath ->
     systemDataPath) - the posture Tier 2 refuses outright at tier2.go:329
  4. "1 alkalmazas hasznalja" counts only Env["HDD_PATH"] == path, so it can never include
     the 40-class; it means "1 of the apps that CAN use a drive does"
  Visibility shipped tonight; PLACEMENT IS OPEN and is the operator's ruling. An earlier
  recommendation to refuse deployment until a drive is registered was WITHDRAWN - it assumed
  the customer had failed to choose, and they had no choice to make.

R-353 - a restore reported success having returned configuration and no data. OpenGist's unit
holds manifest.json + compose/ and nothing else (volume_dumps: None, db_dumps: None); the
off-site snapshot was 182.3 KB; the outcome said only "completed in 8.666896042s". Ranked as
the NEXT SESSION'S FIRST ITEM. Compounding and recorded as UNKNOWN rather than fine: whether
the 40-class reaches the off-site tier at all has not been observed - runVolumeDumps covers
them on paper, but no nightly dump run had happened on a one-hour-old box.

New: documentation/backlog/SPEC-app-data-placement-2026-08-21.md - specification only, nothing
implemented, listing the five points a placement ruling must settle. Records that the OpenGist
instance meant to be left as evidence was removed by someone between 16:57 and 17:02 UTC (not
by this session); its unit and manifest survive, and privatebin is now a live specimen.

verified by independent download and reproducible byte for byte with
-trimpath -buildvcs=false.

Vouched agent 0.129.0 -> 0.130.0 in the Day-0 manifest. Only the agent
fields changed: min_agent stays 0.129.0 because it states what the GOLDEN
CONTROLLER requires, and raising it would have HELD the floor for every
box below 0.130.0. Global floor untouched at 0.216.0 -- and on hub
v0.106.0 it is a separate form with its own action, so publish-train
rule 2's hazard no longer exists in the shape its incident describes.

No --no-verify: the CHANGELOG heading was flipped only after the tag and
package existed, so release-complete passes on the real artifact.

R-349: the fleet was running a DIFFERENT binary under the same version
name -- the proof deploy was a hand build, the release is -trimpath.
Self-update could never have corrected it, because every version check
compares the string. Both boxes reinstalled from the downloaded package.
The proper fix exists in miniature as wrapper_sha256 and was never
extended to the agent's own binary.

R-350: I printed the hub password into the session transcript via
curl -w '%{redirect_url}' -- the hub answers 303 and curl re-attaches the
credential. Not in git, not in any committed file, not in the evidence
directory. Rotation is the operator's call.

ep0 closes at fd 17, ESTAB 0, CLOSE-WAIT 0 -- its t0 baseline -- and was
read-only for this entire arc.

gates / gates (push) Successful in 14s
P1, outcome (i) in one second: replacing the agent on demo-hp released
exactly its 199 established connections (ep0 fd 415 -> 216). CLOSE-WAIT
stayed 0, so outcome (ii) does not exist and gets no row -- ep0 reaps on
peer FIN correctly, and the 543 CLOSE-WAIT at the 08-18 wedge has another
explanation.

P2, 1.03 h (operator closed the >=4 h window early, so no daily rate is
extrapolated): control +4, fixed +0, with each box making exactly 4
/snapshots and 4 /version calls. Same cadence, same work: 4 cycles -> 4
leaks vs 4 cycles -> 0. The fixed box's cycles are in ep0's log, so the
zero is the fix and not a stopped agent.

P3: the second box took ep0 from 220 to 17 fd in under two seconds. 17 is
precisely the t0 baseline of 2026-08-18 09:51:22Z.

Corrects a claim this session made earlier the same day: the accumulated
descriptors did NOT need an ep0 proxy restart. They were held on both
sides. ep0 was read-only throughout; its PID never changed.

R-344 updated and left OPEN (unpublished is not delivered). R-336
re-scoped -- its old next-step would have fixed nothing while looking like
a failed fix, and it is now a scaling row (~25 req/s at fifty customers).
R-347 filed for the delivery gap (Viktor decides). R-348 filed: an agent
restart blanks the reported backup list for ~18 h and the Store comment
calls it unaffected -- blinds no alarm, checked not assumed.

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

gates / gates (push) Successful in 15s
Part 6 of the hub-blindness task, separable and done rather than dropped.

Both due_checks_gate.py and instructions_gate.py read FELHOM_GATE_TODAY so
their suites can control "today", and neither said so. A shell that still has
it exported -- exactly what a session doing gate-test work leaves behind --
made both gates evaluate against a fabricated date and pass in SILENCE. That
is this project's own named failure class: an instrument that can quietly
return the wrong answer is not a measurement. The seam is legitimate and
stays; the silence was the defect.

Both now print a loud line naming the variable, its value, and that the real
date is being ignored, before any verdict.

And instructions_gate.py no longer swallows a MALFORMED override: it used to
fall through to the real date without a word while due_checks_gate.py already
exited 2 on the same input -- one variable, two gates, disagreeing about what
a mistake means. Both exit 2 now.

Tests extended in both suites (42 and 73 assertions, green). Red-proof: the
announcement was deleted from due_checks_gate.py and its two assertions were
seen failing, then reverted.

Also adds REPORT-hub-blindness.md (topic-suffixed; the shared REPORT.md is
left alone per the parallel-session rule).
