Spike (read-only probe, tools/physdisk_probe.py): the agent-side walk (partition -> disk, dm/LVM
slaves, loop -> backing file) names the right physical disk for one-disk boxes, two disks, two
partitions of one disk and a pass-through USB bridge; inside a VM (Tester 1) every disk is "unknown".
Today's agent lists whole disks only and calls an empty partition table "data-bearing"; the
controller's Tier-2 "different disk" is st_dev. sys_drive is a folder of mp0 (backup=1), so the
design gives one-disk boxes a separate internal data place outside the whole-guest copy instead.
Draft only; waits on the operator's rulings D1-D6 (16 section 12). 07 section 6.1's stale mp1 cell
corrected. Register 163 -> 169. Scratch loop disk and Tester 1 scratch disk removed.

Architecture: 08 records ruling A (45 m, the round-9 arithmetic, the cost) and
the two new event types with their audiences; 03 records the slow counter as
built; 07 records the restore-record persistence as a REVERSED design for the
restore record only; CONTEXT.md carries the day's rulings.
Guide: the recovery code moves after the first apps and waits for the yellow bar.
Register: R-549 and R-550 closed PROVEN-LIVE; R-546 closed on red-proofed tests
with its live walk owed by R-551 (no Tier-0 box is paused AND agent-connected).
R-552 filed: an interrupted-restore notice for a removed app never clears -
found in my own v0.246.0 after the release was built.
Evidence: Part A (hub prints 45m/1h30m), Part C delivery on HP and N100, B.4(a)
live proof and its teardown.

The tier-3 pause is the zero-knowledge escrow design and is untouched. What was
missing was the ASK, while the backup page promised the copy that had never run.
- VOLUNTEER-first-hour.md: a new step 6, right after the dashboard password and
before the first app - what the code is, where, write it on PAPER, and that
Felhom cannot get it back for them. Sections 6..12 renumbered to 7..13.
- day0-install.md A.2b: the operator step for a REBUILT box, which was missing.
Acknowledged delete -> the hub re-issues by itself; otherwise ONE press of
"Re-issue PBS credentials" (F-14 ruling 2026-07-13, hub/internal/web/pbsdr.go).
This is the correction to last night's "zero presses" note.
- 07-backup-architecture.md: 6.1 records tier-3's paused state as a DESIGN, and
2 records that the household is asked from first login.
- capability map: the first-hour row's last gap closed, with what it still does
not claim (no volunteer has walked the ask from the written guide).
- register: R-543 CLOSED with the live measurements; R-545 filed (nothing
un-configures an off-site target). R-511 was already closed yesterday.
- STATUS: the answered publish question removed (1.28.0 is live), readiness yes.
- evidence: red-proofs, the two-box live validation, teardown on three layers,
and both of my own mistakes in this session.

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.

Hub v0.112.0 serves a floor above the golden with a declared MinAgent;
controller v0.239.0 reached both demo boxes by that floor in 14 s and 15 s
and updates on any backup tier. 09 §3 decisions 7 and 8, §6/§6.1; 07 §6
line; capability map row; STATUS items 15/16 done and the cadence line
corrected; CONTEXT; register: R-470/R-472/R-475 compressed to CLOSED-ITEMS
(full text at 2f5d3af), R-477..R-480 opened, R-474 reproduced a third
time. OPEN-ITEMS 431689 -> 432156 bytes, CLOSED-ITEMS 118051 -> 120598.
Evidence: documentation/audits/rulings-r472-r475-2026-09-13/.
R-434 CLOSED — and the row's own "blocked on R-433" verdict was wrong, which is the point.
The fix is a DELETION, not a replacement: withdraw the promise instead of swapping it for a
new one, and the sentence is true under every possible answer to the provider questions, so
it never needs a second rewrite. A replacement would have been blocked; a withdrawal is not.
was: "...still hold the older copy, so this is recoverable file-by-file; it is NOT
confirmed data loss. Check whether a deletion ran on the box before restoring."
now: "...still hold the older copy. The route back out of them is not yet established,
so treat this as neither confirmed data loss nor confirmed recovery. Get in touch
before restoring anything, and check whether a deletion ran on the box."
It must not swing the other way either: "your backups are gone" is still usually false.
Clause (a) — the box cannot WRITE into the snapshot area — stands and is re-confirmed.
Tests: offsite_r434_test.go, three, all driving the production path so they assert the
sentence an operator RECEIVES. ASCII-only fragments, positive and negative controls.
RED-PROOF: restoring the v0.111.0 sentence failed all three, on every fragment, with the
offending sentence printed. TestR431_FiresOnAMassDeletion asserted "NOT confirmed data
loss" and caught this fix correctly; its wording fragment is REMOVED rather than updated,
so the wording keeps ONE home.
R-435 written into the detector's own documentation, no threshold changed: it sees a mass
deletion, not one app being wiped (69 across 9 apps -> ~35 needed, one tag is ~9, and
forget --prune groups by host,tags). Says explicitly not to lower the numbers.
THE STOPPING LINE, in all three places — register, 07 section 8 head, STATUS.md.
Deferred set ENUMERATED, not described: 07 section 8 rows 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 (+11b), 12,
each tagged [BETA-DEFERRED]. A number in the brief was wrong and is corrected in place:
six rows are DEFERRED, ELEVEN carry a blank RTO (4,5,8,9,10,11,11b,12,13,14,15); the other
five are blank for reasons that are not deferred work, and row 15 is an open DEFECT (R-104)
that the stopping line does NOT cover. NO STATUS MOVED — nothing was proven today.
Two provider questions drafted, not sent, no API called (11-D stands):
documentation/runbooks/provider-questions-2026-09-01.md, linked from R-95 and R-433, and
tracked by a dated DUE-CHECKS row (2026-09-15) — the 2026-07-27 check that sat unconfirmed
for 36 days is the scar that block exists for.
R-95, R-433 BLOCKED-ON-PROVIDER. R-95's one-day demotion on a clause that did not hold is
recorded; the proposal to rank it back near the top is stated and NOT acted on. R-430 marked
LATENT with its trigger: it becomes live the moment delete is withdrawn, so it is a
precondition on the R-95 build, not a follow-up. The stale ranking paragraph ("armed",
"zero snapshots") is corrected in place, order unchanged.
Register 621 -> 688 lines; 181 rows throughout; open-state 170 -> 169.
No controller or agent change. No golden owed, no floor change.

The drill was to delete demo-hp's off-site history and get it back out of a Storage
Box snapshot, filling row 10's blank RTO. Phase 1 found there is nothing to get it
back from: no snapshot is reachable from a sub-account BY ANY NAME.
Measured, read-only, no delete verb issued against any live store:
- 777,600 exact names in the vendor form YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS, nine full days at
second granularity, plus 126 alternative shapes -> ZERO hits.
- The control is what makes that mean anything: the identical 600-name batch shape
with one real path appended returned it, 6 of 6.
- Structural cause: /home (u629488-sub3) is st_dev 0,82; /.zfs/snapshot is st_dev
0,276; /home/.zfs does not exist. A snapshot under /.zfs/snapshot belongs to a
different dataset than the one holding felhom-repo.
- Three tools agree with controls in the same run: SFTP, the port-23 shell,
rsync --list-only.
So yesterday's re-scope splits: clause (a) "the box cannot write into the snapshot
area" STANDS and is re-confirmed; clause (b) "the rest is recoverable file by file"
is NOT SUPPORTED. STOPPED before Phase 2 on the operator's ruling — with no recovery
leg the deletion would have destroyed real history to buy only an alarm test that
could not fire at the specified size. Store verified untouched at 69 snapshots.
R-432 ANSWERED (negatively; its panel-read next step withdrawn as unnecessary).
R-433 no snapshot reachable by any name — decides R-95's remedy and its rank.
R-434 the drop alarm's text promises a file-by-file recovery that cannot be performed.
R-435 the drop detector is blind to a single-app deletion (>50% of 69 needed, ~9 given).
R-436 LEAD: the provider offers `rclone serve restic --stdio` and restic 0.14.0 speaks
`rclone:` (measured, controlled) — real prevention may need no new machine, IF
the vendor pins --append-only. Ask before building.
07 §8 row 10: text corrected, status NOT moved, RTO still blank.
No code, no version bump, no image, no golden. REPORT.md's only copy of the R-331
report preserved as REPORT-r331-backup-card.md before overwrite.
