Part A evidence (migration spike, sftp-written repo through the pinned rclone key) and the hub
red-proofs under documentation/audits/offsite-lock-build-2026-10-03/. Manifest bump follows after
the image is built and Secret/offsite-secret-key exists.

Allowlisted, not operator-only, seeded for new households and added
once (add-only) to every existing enabled_events row. mail.event entries
in hu and en name the app from details.stack_name. Per-app cooldown on
both the operator and the household leg.

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/.
THE RECORD WAS TELLING A WORSE STORY THAN THE TRUTH FOR TWO MONTHS, and my own probe is why.
R-429 CORRECTED. Yesterday's spike searched for a directory called `.snapshots`. The vendor documents
the path as /.zfs/snapshot. The probe's CONTROLS were sound and its SUBJECT was wrong, so "not found"
was true and meant nothing. Re-probed at the documented path on both boxes, with controls:
- /.zfs lists (shares, snapshot) from inside the jail;
- a write into /.zfs/snapshot is REFUSED - dest open ...: Failure - while the identical write to
the account home SUCCEEDS and was cleaned up.
That is the append-only property PROVEN rather than cited, and it is the sentence the whole re-scope
rests on. Seven daily snapshots are confirmed in the panel. The mitigation works. What remains true,
and was always the actual finding: the row claiming it had no R-number, its "confirm tomorrow" went
36 days unanswered, and the DUE-CHECKS block built for that class was empty. THE FINDING WAS NEVER THE
SNAPSHOTS - IT WAS THAT NOBODY COULD TELL.
R-95 RE-SCOPED: the box can delete its LIVE repository but cannot write to the daily snapshots of it,
so a deletion costs at most one day plus a per-file recovery - not open-ended loss. The ranking is
Viktor's; it has been #1 since July on the old story.
R-432 FILED: a sub-account sees /.zfs/snapshot EMPTY while the same box holds seven snapshots, so
per-file recovery is operator-only today. One panel read settles whether a NAMED snapshot can still be
entered, which would make it product-reachable.
R-431 SHIPPED. Third signal in OffsiteChecker. On the hub deliberately: a detector on the box is one
the deletion can silence. Threshold REASONED, not invented - over 12 898 reports every decrease lands
on ZERO and predates stats_known, and in the stats_known window there are none, so observed churn gave
nothing to calibrate against. Retention cannot halve a total; a mass deletion goes to ~0. Hence: more
than half, and at least 5. Guarded by StatsKnown (R-331), the declared State (R-204) and run success
(R-100 - whose lesson lives in this very file).
ACCEPTANCE: 9 009 real report points replayed through the detector produced ZERO alarms.
Three red-proofs run. The escalation one only became real after the first version was found HOLLOW -
it re-swept the same report, so the baseline had already moved and the latch was never consulted.
07 row 10's status is NOT moved: the write-refusal is measured, but the recovery ROUTE has never been
walked, which is what PARTIAL means.
Controller v0.231.0 adds a nightly job that proves an app's newest off-site snapshot still
CONTAINS that app's data. When it finds one that does not, it emits offsite_proof_empty.
Two register lines, both load-bearing and both in this commit:
- allowedEventTypes - an unallowlisted type is answered 400 and VANISHES, so this entry is
what makes the alarm exist at all.
- operatorOnlyEvents - a missing customerMessages entry is NOT a routing block
(FormatCustomerEmail falls back to the raw message, the v0.78.0 defect that register was
built for). A customer can take no action on a hollow recovery unit.
DELIBERATELY NOT reusing backup_integrity_failed, which is the nearest existing type: it
means THE STORE IS DAMAGED and carries the Hungarian template saying so. Here the store is
sound and the CONTENT is absent - different cause, different action, and telling a customer
their backups are damaged when they are not is the more expensive mistake. Same asymmetry
looksLikeRepositoryDamage is shaped around.
DELIBERATELY no customerMessages entry (the controller's dynamic Hungarian names the app and
what is missing; a template would discard it) and DELIBERATELY not in perAppCooldownEvents
(a fenced act - this job proves ONE app per night, so the coarse hourly cooldown is already
the right grain).
This widens the R-87 task's stated repo scope to felhom.eu/hub/. The reason is recorded in
felhom-controller/CONTEXT.md ruling 4 rather than left as an unexplained diff.
Hub green gate: go build/vet/test all pass, 18 packages.
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".
Golden 0.223.0 baked and published (sha 9eaf39ac3921...), round-trip HTTP 206.
Vouching is the operator's act and was not done here.
ListSupersededEscrow had zero production callers for nineteen days. It is the only
reader of a retained identity_blob, so the retention shipped in v0.93.0 was
material the product could not reach - proven on the fixture 2026-08-12, where a
code that opens a retained package was answered as a code that opened nothing.
New GET /api/v1/hosts/<id>/escrow/retained: self-scoped exactly as the current-row
GET, same recovery-mode gate, same audit event written BEFORE the bytes leave,
capped at 16.
Rows with a NULL identity_blob are WITHHELD and returned as unopenable_count.
They retain the PBS key, not the repository password, so they can never open what
the caller is asking about; serving them would have the agent try packages that
cannot succeed and would let the screen claim an earlier package is openable on
exactly the boxes the original defect hurt. The count is returned because their
existence is load-bearing and underivable.
The trade, stated rather than waved through: the hub still cannot read any of it -
sealed bytes in, sealed bytes out, no decrypt path, no recovery code ever held.
What widens is volume, bounded by self-scope, the recovery-mode gate and the cap.
The response is a NAMED TYPE, not a map, so the wire-contract gate can resolve it;
the wire is declared as a fourth ROOT and the gate now checks 182 tags rather than
174. A positive control shows that check is name-presence, not decodability -
filed as R-315 rather than reported as coverage.
Six tests through the real endpoint; four red-proofs asserted applied.
The hub half of the controller's abandonment countdown, and the ONLY reason
felhom.eu was touched for R-241 at all.
A customer who abandons their old off-site history gets a 14-day countdown. At
the end of it the controller deletes the set-aside restic store and then
DECLARES offsite.abandon_purge_requested in its report until the retained
sealed package that protected that store is gone too. Removing only one half
leaves a state that asks a question nobody can answer: a package that opens
nothing, or ciphertext nobody can ever decrypt.
store.PurgeSupersededEscrowForCustomer is the one place R-198's retention is
ever undone, and its doc comment says why that is legitimate here. It NEVER
touches host_escrow - the current package covers the key the box is using now
and is what makes its live backups recoverable. Only host_escrow_superseded
rows go.
The handler acts on the box's DECLARATION, never an inference, on the same
principle as offsite.state: the hub cannot see that a remote store was deleted
and the box can.
It is placed immediately BEFORE the ACK is built, deliberately.
GetEscrowStatusForCustomer is read after it runs, so the SAME response that
carries the request's effect is what closes the box's two-phase commit - no
second round-trip, and no window in which the box believes it is still owed.
The declaration repeats on every report until that ACK stops reporting a
superseded package, so a lost request retries by itself.
A purge failure is logged at ERROR and never swallowed: the box keeps
declaring, so it retries, but an operator must be able to see that the two
halves are apart right now. An idempotent re-declaration (already purged, the
box has not yet seen the confirming ACK) logs at DEBUG and is not an error.
Audit event offsite_abandon_purged is hub-internal, like the pbsdr_* and
offsite_selfheal_* events - allowedEventTypes governs the box-pushed
POST /event surface, not this.
No agent change. No deletion has been performed against any real store.
Green: go build, go vet, go test ./... all clean in hub/; repo gates OK.
v0.97.0 introduced a second hold reason and left both surfaces printing the first. The
freshly deployed hub logged, for the campaign box:
managed floor HELD for c11: agent "0.125.0" < MinAgent 0.113.0
which is FALSE — 0.125.0 is ABOVE 0.113.0. That box is held because its floor sits above
the vouched golden, not because of its agent. CLAUDE.md's corollary exactly: when a verdict
changes which field it counts from, the alarm text has to change with it, or a true alarm
reads as one to dismiss.
Both the ACK log line and the Hosts-dashboard HeldReason now come from one
ManagedFloorDecision.HoldReason(), and TestResolveManagedFloor_HoldReasonMatchesTheCause
pins each reason to its cause.
Link 6 of the recovery chain had no client. The hub has served the identity blob since
slice 10D from handleReEnroll / handleGetRestoreDirective, gated on operator-armed recovery
mode and the global key -- and nothing in the agent, the hub UI, any script or any runbook
ever called either. The only documented retrieval was sqlite3 writefile() by hand on a
kubectl cp-ed database.
GET /api/v1/hosts/{host_id}/escrow is the box-authenticated mirror of the PUT that put the
blob there. Self-scoped (a per-host key reads only its own; global may read any). A host with
no bundle gets 200 {present:false} -- a 404 is indistinguishable from an unknown host and a
bare empty 200 from a zero-length blob.
THE TRADE IS RECORDED IN THE HANDLER, not inferred: obtaining the blob used to require the
operator to arm recovery mode; now whoever controls a rebuilt box can obtain it with that
box's own credential. They still cannot open it -- the hub has never held R and a wrong code
fails closed at age's scrypt KDF. The mitigation is that every retrieval raises
escrow_blob_served (warning, operator-only), recorded before the bytes leave.
escrowSelfServiceRetrieval is the single decision point: flip it to false and the endpoint
additionally requires recovery mode, changing nothing else.
The operator-driven DR path is untouched, pinned by a test. Red-proofs observed: removing the
ownership check serves host B's blob to host A; removing the record makes it silent.
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).
processOperator's cooldown no longer returns bare. It dropped the event BEFORE
LogNotification, so a suppressed operator alert and an event that never happened
were indistinguishable — from the operator's side and from the hub's own records.
Measured 2026-08-03: nine recovery_unit_capture_failed events arrived, two were
mailed, seven left no row anywhere. That is why the defect took a day to get the
right way round: there was nothing to read.
A suppressed operator event now writes a `suppressed` row carrying the message
and the key that suppressed it. This applies to EVERY operator event, not only
the one that exposed it. It does NOT change the cooldown's duration or semantics.
backup_run_failures: the per-run digest. In allowedEventTypes AND in
operatorOnlyEvents — allowlisting alone does not make an event operator-only,
and FormatCustomerEmail falls back to the raw English message rather than
blocking. A test demonstrates a customer with the type enabled receiving nothing.
recordOnlyEvents: a third routing class — stored and recorded, never mailed.
recovery_unit_capture_failed moves here: it is the record, the digest is the
notification. A register rather than downgrading severity to info, which would
relabel a genuine failure as informational everywhere it is queried.
cooldownRunSuffix: a sibling of cooldownTierSuffix, not a branch inside it, so
tier keeps byte-identical semantics and R-97a's tests are untouched. It makes
the cooldown effectively inert for the digest, which is the intent — a digest is
already rate-limited by construction; the refresh sweep sends no run_id and so
stays under the ordinary hourly cooldown.
The email renders as a list, not a JSON blob. An absent space reading renders as
unavailable, never as zeros.
New OPERATOR-ONLY event type recovery_unit_capture_failed (controller
v0.191.0, R-158): in allowedEventTypes AND notify.operatorOnlyEvents.
Deliberately not a reuse of backup_failed, which carries customer copy and
sits in the controller's DefaultEnabledEvents — reusing it would email the
customer in Hungarian about a failure they cannot act on. R-158's own
proposal said backup_failed; D-c overrides it.
disk_warning/disk_critical lose their generic customerMessages entries.
Both were allowlisted, copy'd, default-enabled and checkbox'd with NO
producer anywhere; controller v0.191.0 becomes that producer and sends a
DYNAMIC Hungarian message naming the drive and its free space.
FormatCustomerEmail prefers the entry over the message, so keeping a static
entry would discard the label and the byte figures — the same reason
offbox_enlarge_blocked and disk_health_degraded have none. The deletion is
pinned by a test.
New notify.IsOperatorOnly so the api package can pin BOTH registers of a new
event type in ONE test; allowlisted-but-not-operator-only is invisible when
they are checked separately, and it is the defect v0.78.0 shipped. The
register itself stays unexported.
REUSE.md's "new event type" extension point rewritten: it told readers to
always add a customerMessages entry, which is wrong for operator-only types
and harmful for dynamic-message ones.
Tests 574 -> 579. Red-proof: removing the operatorOnlyEvents entry shows the
customer being emailed; the skipped/operator_only row is asserted as a
positive observable.
An event type the hub does not allowlist makes POST /event return 400 and the
event vanishes (R-97a). The controller cannot emit backup_target_absent until
this is live, so the hub half ships first.
E-2 Phase 0 established that an absent backup target has NO prompt signal today.
The controller's drive-gate path stops apps and logs a WARN but emits nothing:
NotifyStorageDisconnected is defined and never called anywhere (verified against
the gitignored-cmd/ trap with a positive control). A drive that is ONLY a backup
target has no apps to stop, so it is entirely silent. The sole signal is the
tier's own failure at its next due cycle -- up to ~24h on the daily local tier,
which is the R-100 shape: a real fault visible only after a deadline elapses.
Added to BOTH registers, because each half fails differently:
allowedEventTypes -- without it the event is lost at the door;
customerMessages -- without it the event IS delivered but in the controller's
raw operator English, and nothing looks broken.
backup_target_absent is deliberately NOT folded into storage_disconnected: that
says "a drive went away and some apps may have stopped"; this says "the thing
that makes your backup survive a disk failure is gone".
Hungarian copy names the consequence, not just the fact. backup_target_restored
is the paired recovery at info severity -- severityNotifies NOT widened.
Three tests pin the pair and the copy's substance. All red-proofed with the
mutation VERIFIED to have landed first: the initial attempt silently no-op'd
(gofmt had realigned the map) and the test "passed" -- a false proof that would
have been reported as evidence.
Green gate: build + vet + test rc=0, run separately from this commit.
v0.78.0 asserted in a comment that a type with no customerMessages entry cannot
reach a customer. It can: templates.go falls back to the raw message when the
entry is missing, and the only customer gate is prefs.EnabledEvents — pure
configuration. A customer with whole_guest_backup_failed enabled would have been
emailed raw English operator text about a backup they cannot act on. The new test
proves it against the v0.78.0 shape.
operatorOnlyEvents is now an explicit register checked before prefs, logging a
skipped/operator_only row so the skip is visible. NOT implemented as 'missing
customerMessages blocks delivery' — several types rely on that fallback on
purpose. The handler comment now names the real mechanism.
internal/quiesce had no route to the hub at all: three failed whole-guest backups
on 2026-07-27 produced zero events. Hub half of the fix.
whole_guest_backup_failed / _recovered are allowlisted with NO customerMessages
entry. Deliberately not backup_failed/backup_completed — those have customer
Hungarian templates AND sit in demo-felhom's live enabled_events, so reusing them
would email the customer that their backup failed while it is still retrying
behind the R-88 breaker.
The recovery joins recoveredPairedDownTypes because it is severity info and
severityNotifies drops info — otherwise the operator hears it break and never
hears it heal. Its customer leg is pairing-gated and can never fire.
Operator cooldown gains a per-tier dimension from the event details, so one tier
cannot mask another for an hour. Narrow: empty suffix unless a tier is sent, so
no existing event type changes.
A failed restore-test was a [WARN] line in the ingest handler and nothing else —
no event, no notification, no gauge. True for the LOCAL tier that was already
being tested, so the loudest DR signal this system produces was inaudible.
Rotating tiers without this would only mean two tiers can fail silently
instead of one.
Two signals, deliberately NOT merged:
restore_test_failed (error) — a run completed and did NOT pass
restore_test_stale (warning) — a tier not PROVEN within its interval
Merging them collapses 'your DR is broken' into 'your DR is unverified', and
the second is the one that quietly becomes the first. The staleness wording
says 'unverified, not known-broken' and a test asserts that phrasing.
Anchored per R-81, not re-derived: a never-proven tier on a newborn box is
UNKNOWN, not FAILED, until the window elapses. This family has made the
opposite mistake three times; this monitor was written straight after the third,
so it copies R-81's structure rather than inventing a fourth shape.
restoreProvenStaleAfter = 7d is derived: oldest-first over two tiers at a 24h
cadence proves each ~every 2 days, so 7d tolerates ~3 missed opportunities and
sits inside the 2-week offsite retention.
Per-tier proof comes from the hub's retained host-report window — the agent
reports only its latest run, so the latest report alone cannot answer 'when was
the OTHER tier last proven?'. Reused R-81's mechanism instead of a wire change.
Both types registered in allowedEventTypes (R-77's inert-seam lesson) and
operator-tier only — no customerMessages entry.
FIXED a time bomb I introduced in Slice C: the restart-blind-window test
hard-coded 2026-07-18T18:31:06Z while comparing against the real clock. Harmless
under one 26h threshold; once the offsite tier got an 8-day limit it passed all
day and began failing at 18:31 UTC, exactly 8 days later. Now relative.
Red-proofs B and D observed. Full suite green (17 packages, rc=0).
The allowlist entry is REQUIRED, not cosmetic: handleEvent 400s an unknown
event_type, so controller v0.173.0's new drift alert would be silently inert
without it. Shipped with the controller that emits it.
Docs:
- RUNBOOK-local-api-endpoint-drift.md — how to repair a drift, including the
step everyone will want to skip (establish which value is CORRECT from what
the agent is actually bound to, rather than assuming bootstrap.json wins) and
what success looks like (SILENCE, not a "recovered" line, because a fresh
controller's healthy first observation is not logged). Records both
2026-07-26 repairs.
- ROADMAP: R-77 shipped; R-78 the local_api authority ruling, with the
clobber-a-working-channel risk spelled out in BOTH directions so it is not
resolved opportunistically; R-79 the whole-surface English-strings sweep;
R-80 expected_backup_missed, flagged as likely outranking R-77 because 7.3
days of stale backup materially exceeds the ~1.5-day channel outage, so the
causal link the DIAG hedged on cannot be the whole story.
- Capability map: note against the drive-wizard row (every agent-backed
capability rides this channel) that a silent drift class is now detected.
NO row status flips — detection is not prevention.
Adds disk_health_degraded to allowedEventTypes so the controller's per-disk SMART
degradation notification is ingested, not 400-rejected. Deliberately no customerMessages
entry (like offbox_enlarge_blocked) — the controller's dynamic Hungarian message (disk
label + attributes) is preserved by the templates.go fallback. Test + red-proof.
The immediate-sync arc covered only operator-initiated desired-state changes;
system-initiated mutations bumped the generation silently, so a freshly onboarded
box waited a full agent tick for state the hub had already minted (observed live at
slice-C onboarding). Wire the existing, live-proven notifiers into every system site
on the correct plane — call-site wiring only, no new mechanism.
Agent plane (poke.Notifier):
- web/pbsdr.go: PBSDRAutoProvision (the observed lag), ReissuePBSDR (also lifts the
pbsdrheal reconciler escalation, zero reconciler changes), handlePBSDRReissue —
each pokes AFTER the successful SetHostDesired, never on a blocked/error path.
- api: new nil-safe Poker seam (PokeHost/PokeAllHosts + SetPoker); handleAdminSetDesiredState
pokes the target host; handleAdminSetOperatorPeer fires PokeAllHosts only when the
fleet generation bump succeeded (fire-after-commit).
- main.go: one poke.Notifier now feeds both planes (SetPoke + SetPoker).
Controller plane (intent.Hub.Bump):
- api/reissueOnReenroll: one nil-guarded bump so a long-polling controller wakes in
seconds instead of on the 15-min cycle.
Deliberate non-sites (unchanged): WG register (undeliverable pre-tunnel — the agent
fast-tick SECONDARY owns it), WG delete (transport removed), pbsdrheal Restage (no
generation bump → the 60s ticker is the pickup path). internal/pbsdrheal byte-unchanged.
Tests: 10 non-hollow tests (web async channel-synchronized fake sender; api synchronous
fake Poker) with explicit zero-count negatives; representative red-proofs per group
(A/B/C/D) run-fail-restored. Green: go build/vet/test all pass.
A generic ISO carries NO customer secret. The box registers itself at the hub
as an unclaimed appliance; the operator binds it to a customer; the hub delivers
the customer-id + retrieval passphrase ONCE; day-0 completes via the slice-A path.
Hub (v0.62.0):
- store/appliance.go: appliance_registrations keyed by (uuid, mac_set) — MAC set
is the tiebreaker (duplicate SMBIOS UUIDs); token stored as sha256 only.
Idempotent register (sticky-discard), atomic one-shot delivery, bind/discard.
- api/appliance.go: POST /appliance/register (the one unauth endpoint, per-IP
rate-limited, 256-bit token); GET /appliance/poll (404 no-oracle / 204 unbound
/ 200 deliver-once / 410 delivered). Passphrase read live, never logged.
- web/appliances.go: Hosts-page "Unclaimed appliances" section + BIND (customer
picker, host count display-only) + DISCARD; SSH host-key fingerprints; events.
- Red-proofs: one-shot delivery + register idempotency (both proven red);
404-no-oracle, sticky-discard, bind staging, render. Green + confirm gate.
Scripts (v1.19.0):
- felhom-bootstrap.sh: ONE unit, TWO modes. Direct (env has customer/passphrase)
= slice-A path, byte-identical, only branched around. Pairing (generic) =
register + poll (RestartSec=30 is the poll timer); on delivery write the env
0600 and fall through to direct. Secrets + token shredded on success.
- build-felhom-iso.sh --pairing: generic secret-free ISO, -generic filename,
manifest mode=pairing. profiles/generic.profile (new).
- test/bootstrap-modes.sh: Scenario D (direct = zero appliance calls) + pairing
register/poll + delivery handoff — all green in a debian container.
GET /api/v1/wait long-poll: the box holds an authed hanging GET; the hub
completes it the instant any operator intent bumps that customer's in-memory
generation, then the box fires its ordinary report and the ACK delivers
everything through the unchanged machinery. 240s hold with a 25s heartbeat
newline defeats the nginx 60s proxy_read_timeout with no ingress annotation;
WriteTimeout lifted per-connection via ResponseController.
- internal/intent: per-customer generation counter + waiter registry
(Bump/Wait/Close), coalescing to latest, race-closer, in-memory by design.
Red-proofs: counter-vs-queue + race-closer (run-fail-reverted).
- api/wait.go: the endpoint (per-customer only; global key 400; A cannot see B).
- web bumps after every intent write (fire-after-commit): config CRUD, claim
resend, offsite re-issue/freeze, password regen, block/unblock, floors
(global bumps all config-managed), controller log-tail + log-bundle.
- main.go: one intent hub shared by web+api; Close() before server.Shutdown.
Pairs with controller v0.140.0 (the long-poll client). Grounding:
documentation/audits/SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16.md.
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.
Additive host_escrow migration; SaveHostEscrow/HostEscrow gain the hash
(NULL-safe for legacy rows); GetEscrowStatusForCustomer joins hosts;
the report ACK gains escrow:{identity_blob_present,restic_pw_sha256,
created_at} (omitted without a row). Contract test mirrors the agent's
v0.79.0 emit struct.

POST /hosts/{id}/wg (per-host self-scoped; global = operator/DR path): bind /
re-key-in-place / adopt; generation bump + endpoint push ONLY on real change.
mergeWireguard injects the hub-owned block into served desired-state at READ
time (stored operator blob never touched; fail-safe unmerged on any error;
no-peer = byte-identical pass-through — existing golden test untouched+green).
handleAdminSetDesiredState rejects top-level wireguard (400). Admin DELETE of a
BOUND peer bumps the owning host. NEW golden desired-state-wireguard.golden.json
= the S3 cross-repo contract. Red-proofs a/b/c/d run + reverted.
