Four small items, each a case where the hub already knew something and said
nothing. Green: build, vet, tests all pass.
(a) Self-bind link is minted automatically at customer creation AND at RESET
completion (R-36 sub-item). The console banner tells the customer to open
"az e-mailben kapott link"; until now that email existed only once the
operator remembered the button, so the banner could point at something that
did not exist — during the 2026-07-18 rehearsal the box waited ~11.7 min on
exactly that. handleSelfBindLinkSend's body was extracted into a shared
mintAndSendSelfBindLink core so the button and the auto-mint callers cannot
drift apart on the honesty rules: F1 (no address -> mint nothing) and F2
(send failed -> delete the token, never leave it live). The wrapper NEVER
fails the operation it rides on — a create that provisioned Cloudflare,
offsite and PBS must not 500 over a courtesy email.
Gap found and closed while wiring it: PurgeCustomerResetDBState does NOT
clear selfbind_tokens, so a link minted BEFORE a reset would have stayed
live across it. A successful mint already replaces it (delete-then-insert,
single-active); the skip paths would not have, so they now clear stale
tokens too. Invariant: after auto-mint runs the only live link is one it
just issued, or none.
(b) Post-RESET staleness banner (R-37). When a RESET COMPLETED after the newest
report, every health figure on the page describes a lifecycle that no longer
exists, and the page kept showing pre-RESET warnings as current. Narrow on
purpose: an in-flight reset does not trigger it, and it clears itself when a
report arrives. Ties resolve to STALE — SQLite timestamps are second-
resolution and a same-second report almost certainly predates the reset;
erring the other way would hide the banner exactly when it matters.
(c) Unprovisioned-offsite warning (R-36 interim). enabled==true with type=="" is
a real, stable, silent state: provisioning is Save-triggered and the
re-enroll auto-re-issue deliberately skips an unprovisioned target, so
nothing self-heals it. Reuses the exact predicate the offsite re-issue
handler already refuses on.
(d) pbsdr_reissued rendered an EMPTY flash box — the key had no template branch,
so re-issuing PBS credentials showed a success box with no words (observed
live 2026-07-18). Now describes what was staged plus the R-39 caveat:
confirm `pvesm status` shows the entry active, because a converged agent can
report `applied` while the storage still 401s.
New .flash-warn (amber, --warn tokens) for the deviation tier between success
and error — exception-color principle: only on deviation, never on a healthy
page.
Tests assert each banner is ABSENT in the nominal cases as well as present in
the deviating one — a banner that always renders is worse than none. Both
red-proofed: deleting the pbsdr_reissued branch reproduces the original empty
box; neutering the staleness predicate fails the banner assertion. New
read-only store accessor CountSelfBindTokens makes the single-active invariant
assertable.
NOT in this train: the R-39 hub-side generation-bump fix the pre-travel task
made conditional. Its condition was REFUTED (SetHostDesired bumps
unconditionally; applyPBSDR is idempotent as documented) — the real mechanism is
the agent's descriptor-hash convergence and needs its own spec.

Let a customer bind their own freshly-installed appliance without the
operator: operator "Send self-bind link" mints a 7-day tokenized
capability link, emailed (Hungarian, sibling sender) to the customer, who
opens a public /bind/<token> page and proves two factors — the console
pairing code shown on the box screen + their retrieval passphrase — and
the hub stages the bind via the same BindAppliance (provenance
customer_selfbind). The box's ~30s appliance poll delivers.
Viktor's three rulings verbatim: console pairing code (no appliance list
ever rendered), operator-sent tokenized link, 5-attempt lockout ->
"call support". Wrong code == wrong passphrase (one generic failure, no
oracle, both factors compared unconditionally); expiry falls back to
operator-bind unchanged.
THE TRAP: one public prefix /bind/, exempt from auth+CSRF at both /login
gate sites via a single isPublicBindPath predicate (tight trailing-slash
match; ServeMux ..-cleans; handler rejects '/' in token). 9 tests
(Scenarios A-F + F1/F2); 4 red-proofs verified red-then-green (lockout,
oracle, widened-prefix, single-active). GC verdict: no appliance GC ->
the 7-day TTL stands alone. Controller/agent untouched; R-27b deferred.
Green: full hub build/vet/test (17 ok) + bash -n + hub confirm gate.
