ReissueCredentials marked the escrow stale on every re-issue, on precautionary
grounds — the box's re-apply MIGHT mint a fresh repository password. It usually
does not. A stale flag withholds restic_pw_sha256 from the ACK, which stops the
controller's auto-confirm, which leaves EscrowState pending, which makes
OffboxRunnable false: every off-site backup refused on a box whose key was never
in doubt — and the customer told to re-run the one ceremony that would have
superseded the key just recovered.
The case it guessed at is measured elsewhere: the controller's Scenario-F
re-check compares the sealed hash against the live repo password on every ACK
(and the mark was BLINDING it by emptying that hash), and R-197's
offsite_repo_key_changed fires on a proven difference across a supersession.
offsite_reissued is unchanged. MarkEscrowStale is kept without a caller so a
future EVIDENTIAL writer has the mechanism, with a test pinning it live.
TestReissue_InvalidatesEscrow is replaced by its exact inverse.
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).
The operator sees the shared pool box's real state on the hub: total box fill vs
capacity, Σ(shared soft quotas) vs capacity (the oversubscription ratio), per-customer
usage/quota bars, and a box-level operator alert (fill % + oversub ratio) on the existing
dispatcher's operator channel. Per-customer fill alerts already existed; the box-level
aggregate was the gap. READ-ONLY against Hetzner (GET only).
Phase-0 probe (gate PASSED): the live pool box 611714 returns capacity via
storage_box_type.size (1 TiB / bx11) and usage via a stats object (size/size_data/
size_snapshots), all bytes; our token reads it (200).
- hetznerapi: additive StorageBoxType + StorageBoxStats on StorageBox (no existing field/
method changed); fake carries them + a GetBoxCalls counter; golden decode test.
- monitor.OffsiteBoxChecker: OffsiteChecker-sibling for the box; fetch-throttled (1 GET/
15min), cached BoxSnapshot, escalation-only + recovery re-arm. FILL (used/capacity 80/90)
+ OVERSUB (Σ shared+enabled quotas / capacity, 2.0x) — independent. Σ from the ConfigJSON
Descriptor (offsite.ReadDescriptor, new), never the report echo; dedicated+disabled
excluded. Scope "pool-box" -> operator channel only, no SaveEvent. Failed fetch keeps the
last snapshot degraded; missing data never becomes 0% and never transitions a band.
- config: Alerting.OffsiteBoxFill{Warn,Crit}Percent + OffsiteOversubWarnRatio (80/90/2.0
defaults; thresholds pending Viktor's ruling). Constructed in the HETZNER_TOKEN branch,
60s sweep, snapshot handed to the web server.
- web: Offsite-tab panel (fill bar, Σ+ratio, per-customer usage/quota rows) + a compact
dashboard tile; reads the cached snapshot only, never fetches; nil -> "not configured".
Tests: 10 new + 4 red-proofs (throttle, Σ filter, escalation-only, failed-fetch honesty),
all confirmed red then restored. go build/vet/test all pass; hub confirm gate OK.
F2 claim re-issue on clean-slate re-enroll (ReissueForReenroll, host-enroll mint path,
single-bump, reset code; hub never stores the password so fork B). F3 offsite re-issue on
re-enroll (ReissueOffsiteForCustomer, same machinery as the manual button). 2.3 escrow honesty
(red-proofed): re-issuing offsite marks the escrow stale (MarkEscrowStale), withholds the
mismatched restic hash from auto-confirm, DR checklist shows stale not done. Events:
claim_reissued_reenroll / offsite_reissued / escrow_stale.
Controller + scripts unchanged (source contradicted both premises): the controller reads escrow
prereqs live from the agent; the installer can't know the descriptor-provisioned storage id. F4
root fix is agent-side -> ROADMAP R-22; demo unblocked live (Part 0 ACL grant). VALIDATION doc
F2 erratum + F3/F4 dispositions. Green gate + Scenario-C red-proof pass.
Sibling checker over the controller report's offsite object: quota-fill
warn/crit + the silently-stuck staleness detector (escrowed-only,
red-proofed; nil-safe on pre-v0.109 reports; same-second tie-guard).
SetOffsiteFrozen flips ONLY readonly on the exactly-1 labelled sub-account
(SSH preserved); Freeze/Unfreeze buttons — manual only, never automatic.

F4: ReissueCredentials — explicit operator recovery for consumed-password
dead-ends; resets the labelled resource's password (exactly-1 guard,
red-proofed), stores a fresh one-time secret, bumps ConfigVersion.
New hetznerapi.ResetBoxPassword for the dedicated path.
F2: host-key scan retry-with-backoff (~60s ladder, red-proofed) — first
save survives fresh-subaccount DNS lag.
F5: config form disables submits + shows an in-flight notice (the re-click
bait that caused live F1).

Descriptor.HostFingerprint (SHA256, non-secret), captured at provision via an
x/crypto/ssh keyscan (SSHHostKeyScanner — dials :23, grabs the host key from the
handshake, no ssh binary). Fail-closed: nil scanner or scan failure → error (don't
serve a descriptor the controller can't verify). Pairs with controller v0.106.0
which re-scans + refuses on mismatch (no blind TOFU).
