The first draft (5121536f, unpushed) re-issued the claim code and the off-site login on a
reuse whose old box was stale or switched off. A security review flagged it: the caller
holds only the household's retrieval passphrase, and both re-issues are operator
session-only actions (05 section 17.5, 09 decision 252, R-1055/R-1059). Now the reuse
path classifies the old box and re-issues nothing: gone -> host_reinstall_over_old_host
(warning, mailed to the operator: delete the old host and re-run, or re-issue by hand);
live -> host_reenroll_while_live (info). The mint path after the operator's delete is
unchanged and still re-issues. The once-per-silence record and the claim engine comment
edit are reverted. 05 section 8, README and CHANGELOG updated; tests red-proved.
R-1150: the agent's localapi:backup-cadence-cap is a separate per-host state in
HostCapabilityChecker: alone it raises whole_guest_backup_refused (warning, plain text,
agent reason in details) and whole_guest_backup_refusal_cleared (info); other critical
caps keep agent_capability_degraded/_recovered unchanged. New types operator-only and
hub-origin only (not in allowedEventTypes: the suspected controller must not post them).
agent_capability_degraded/_recovered join operatorOnlyEvents (the checker's "never the
customer" claim was configuration only).
R-1154: handleHostEnroll's reuse path re-issues (claim code + off-site login) when no
controller wait is open and either deliberate_off_at is held or both the host report and
the controller report are older than alerting.stale_threshold (wired from main); once per
silence (host_reenroll_reissued record, also written at mint); a live box gets nothing
re-issued and the skip is recorded (host_reenroll_not_reissued). 05 section 8 [DESIGN].
Tests red-proved; go build/vet/test green.
Hub: the R-120 golden guard judges only a CHANGED golden selection; offsite_snapshots_vanished /
_unexplained (operator-only, hub-origin) on the 07:10 listing; internal/accesslog writes path-only
lines to /data/access-log, 90 days. Installer: --rotate-recovery-only runs step 4b alone (rides
the next installer tag). 03: the orphan check runs after a failed backup (agent 6545ccc). 02: the
allow-list is empty, appdata_folders (controller v0.329.0). All red-proofed.
- hub: `app_definition_refused` in allowedEventTypes + operatorOnlyEvents (controller v0.328.0's catalog
allow-list refusal); SaveHostRecoveryCredential moves set_at on a re-vault (found live: both rotated hosts
kept their first vault's time); the daily key audit also lists the box's restic snapshots/ read-only over the
login the hub already holds and logs count/newest/oldest (no alarm yet).
- installer (main only, rides the next tag): --uninstall removes /usr/local/sbin/felhom-thin-check (agent
v0.159.0's bundle file); test_hostinstall.py knows it.
- runbook whole-guest-backup-orphan-thin.md: the human repair the agent's new orphan finding points to.

- Configuration → Access tokens: named, scoped (group read/write), expiring (≤365 d), shown once,
stored SHA-256 only, every use logged by name. Bearer fhp_… on the web surface only; /api/v1 refuses it.
- Route table = the code's single source (web/routes.go), pinned to ServeHTTP's switch; session-only:
secrets shown/minted, deletes/resets, password, tokens.
- R-952 closed: /api/v1 route table names each caller, pinned to the switch; no-credential refusal test.
- Fail-open fixed: an empty operator password served the UI open (main skipped RequireAuth). Live hub never open.
- 05 §17, 04 §6.2, 13, 09 §3 251; register 155→157 (+R-1054, R-1055, R-1056, −R-952); STATUS.
- website: prowlarr-logo.svg (byte copy from felhom.eu-media) — the site gate refused every push.
Not deployed — waits for the operator's yes.

The operator's half of the repair after an unclean boot (controller 0.311.0): counts only, never a
file name; warning mails, info is recorded. Registered in allowedEventTypes and operatorOnlyEvents in
the same commit, plus the per-app cooldown list; tests pin the pair, a household that enabled the type
gets nothing, and the counts line (red-proofed). Decision 236 (operator, 2026-10-14): the box asks
Immich through Immich's own job queue. R-1007 updated; the scripts' run on 9202 added as evidence.

Security review of 50e47e29: requested_at is the box's clock — a future value is cut to the hub's
now; CustomerDeliberatelyOff now needs every host of the customer held (one machine of two no
longer silences the other), and fails closed on a read error or no host. Both red-proofed.
hosts.deliberate_off_at follows the agent's deliberate_off field (set, then cleared by the first
report of a new boot; one info event each way). While held, every silence alarm is held: host and
node staleness, the 05:00 backup deadlines, off-site and restore-test freshness, the OS alarms and
the kernel notice. After 14 days the usual alarms fire once, naming the power-off. Pages show
KIKAPCSOLVA and the time. Consequence tests with controls; each guard red-proofed.
Host page "Operator Actions" card: run off-site backup now, run a check now
(fixed job list), stop / extend (1-30 days) a deletion countdown. POST
/hosts/{id}/operator-action validates against the CLOSED list before
storing (unknown -> 400, no row), stores operator_actions(id, customer_id,
action, arg, requested_at, requested_by, done_at, outcome, message), logs
who pressed (channel + address) and bumps the box's intent. The report ACK
lists pending rows as operator_actions until the box's
operator_action_results closes them (matched on id AND reporting
customer); each closed row becomes a hub-minted operator_action event
(stored, never dispatched). Unanswered after 24 h: expired. A customer
RESET cancels pending rows. Wire gate: new root + field-by-field mirror
(controller report.OperatorAction) — needs the controller commit first.

Slice 1: intent.Hub records one start/end per GET /api/v1/wait request and answers
Presence(customer, now): connected (hold open, or one started < 333 s = 243 s cadence + 90 s
grace ago), not connected since T, or unknown (hub up < 333 s; in memory only). The host page
shows "Box connection". One DEBUG line per presence change.
Slice 2 (operator ruling D2, 2026-10-08, 09 §3 decision 186): a host that is online by its report
clock but whose box has had no wait-channel connection for >= 360 s may be deleted at once after
the tick "I checked: the box is off". Presence is re-read at POST time; the tick alone, unknown
presence, a connected box or a shorter gap keep today's 409. The delete logs the operator channel
and saves one host_deleted_box_off event. RESET and the customer-delete cascade are unchanged.

A reinstall mints a new PBS key K while R-241 keeps the restic password, so
the supersession rule (restic sha only) overwrote the only copy of the old K
and every pre-reinstall whole-guest archive became unopenable for good. The
current row is now also retained when the key fingerprint changes (case and
space ignored; an empty fingerprint is unknown, not a change).

hosts.api_key, customer_configs.api_key / retrieval_password and host_pbs_secrets.value now hold the
R-821/R-133 seal (enc:v1:, OFFSITE_SECRET_KEY). The two API keys get an api_key_hash lookup twin
(SHA-256, backfilled keyless in migrate()), so box authentication never needs the sealing key; a row
with no hash is matched on its plaintext only while it is plaintext. SealLegacyBoxSecrets seals legacy
rows at start-up (idempotent, non-fatal). A sealed value that does not open sets SecretsUnreadable:
serve/compare paths answer 500, saves refuse the record, the PBS token is not burned.

The hub has written every customer e-mail in Hungarian whatever the box was set
to. The box has published its language since controller v0.247.0; nothing read
it. Now it does.
Nothing an operator reads changes. The Hungarian mails are byte-identical, and
that is a diff rather than a reading: 56 goldens per language captured from
v0.117.0 BEFORE any string moved, and all 56 Hungarian ones pass unchanged after
every sentence was routed through the new bundle.
- internal/i18n: flat bundle, 79 keys, hu authoritative + hu fallback, ceiling 0.
- customerMessages/severityLabels are DERIVED from the bundle, so a sentence is
written in one place and all 40+ tests that read those maps still work.
- Language order: last reported -> created-with -> hu. reports.language defaults
to EMPTY, never hu: "never told us" is not "chose Hungarian".
- message_customer on POST /api/v1/event, additive and optional forever, for the
sentences the box composes and the hub cannot translate.
- The bind page is per-language, and its `expired` state stays Hungarian: it is
the state an unknown token lands in, so rendering a real English customer's
token in English would make the LANGUAGE answer what the TEXT refuses to.
Two defects found inside the release:
- R-581: the newest report was picked by received_at, which has SECOND
granularity, so same-second reports tied and the winner was arbitrary. Ordered
by the autoincrement id now. GetCustomers() still has the shape - row open.
- R-582: the English copy-guard stems, ported word for word from Hungarian,
convicted 141 honest sentences. The English claim is a phrase with a modal.
R-555 closed: the language allowlist entry is out of wire_contract_gate.py.
hub_copy_gate.py follows the sentences into the bundle - without that it would
have scanned four files that no longer hold any customer text and reported
success. Three new decoys incl. an innocent control.

R-549 (operator ruling A): controllerStatus hardcoded 30m/1h while both
staleness checkers and hostStatus read alerting.stale_threshold. Moving the
threshold to 45m would have painted a customer amber 15 minutes before the
alarm could fire - the second definition rollup.go's header forbids. It now
reads the same value, down at 2x. Both 'checker initialized' log lines print
the threshold, which no line did before.
R-539 (ruling 3 of 2026-09-16): controller_slow_crashloop (warning,
operator-only), minted when the agent's slow_crashloop_since moves, with the
fast sibling's first-sight rule.
R-550: restore_interrupted (warning, for the household) allowlisted with a
Hungarian customer message.
Red-proofs, each seen failing then passing: the status test with the old
hardcoded numbers; the checker test with the movement branch removed; the
operator-only test with the registration removed; the household-message test
with the Hungarian entry removed (asserted on the SUBJECT - the body
legitimately repeats the raw message, which my first version of the test
mistook for a fallback).
go build/vet/test ./... green, 18 packages.

Off-site is ON by default for a new customer — shared, 100 GB soft quota prefilled,
the checkbox kept so an operator can opt a customer out. The reason is this repo's
own [FACT]: the whole-guest tiers do not carry the data drive and a Tier-1 unit has
no file leg, so with this unticked a one-drive box keeps NO copy of the household's
own files. Measured on a fresh box the same day.
The quota is prefilled because the fill warning only fires when quota_gb > 0.
Also registers controller v0.244.0's app_deploy_started / app_deploy_failed in both
allowedEventTypes and customerMessages, per the rule that the two move together.
Red-proofed: dropping the default fails the new render test.

Operator ruling 2026-09-13. Above the vouched golden, a floor saved with a
declared MinAgent is served under the same agent comparison; an undeclared
one is still held beyond the golden. The declaration is stored beside each
floor as FLOOR=MINAGENT so it never carries to a later floor. Both floor
forms require min_agent above the golden (flash floor_needs_min_agent,
nothing stored). The Hosts page and the API log name the source.
Vouch path and R-120 gate untouched. Scenarios A-E tested; red-proofs A
and C in documentation/audits/rulings-r472-r475-2026-09-13/.
