R-88b closed (agent v0.105.0 + controller v0.178.0) — age_state gives 'unknown'
its own representation, with empty meaning legacy rather than unknown so the
first-backup valve keeps working on un-upgraded boxes.
R-97 note updated: hub v0.79.0 (R-97c) replaced a FALSE operator-only comment
with a real register — the comment claimed a guarantee the code did not provide.
Standing rule 4 (R-96): a recommendation that is not followed gets one line
saying why. Added to the live CLAUDE.md and this versioned copy — the live file
is not in a git repo, so committing to it alone would leave the rule as durable
as the chat it came from.
READY re-ranked: R-95 now leads.
The workspace root /mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/CLAUDE.md is NOT a git repo — this is
its only version-controlled copy, and it had drifted since 2026-07-19. Committing
the three standing rules to the live file alone would have left them exactly as
undurable as the chat log they came from, which is the whole point of R-96.
Supervised runbook execution. No code, no version bump.
The felhom-pbs tier had reported `job errors` on EVERY demo-hp backup
since the tier was created on 07-26, while the data landed correctly
every time: `DatastoreBackup` grants Datastore.Backup but not
Datastore.Prune, so the box's keep_last=2 prune was denied.
Operator ruling: retention is a COMMERCIAL attribute owned by the hub;
ep0 executes. Box tokens therefore stay write-only - a compromised box
must not be able to delete its own offsite backups. No grant was widened
and felhom-tenantsync.sh is unchanged (the ruling makes it correct).
Increment 1:
- boxes stop attempting prune. allowPBSPrune is DERIVED
(`!t.Primary && t.KeepLast > 0`), so keep_last: 0 on the PBS tier
disables both the --prune-backups value and the gate in one config
edit, and the tier stays armed. Verified prune_pbs_allowed=false on
both boxes with no tier REJECTED line.
- per-namespace prune jobs on ep0, keep-last 2, daily 03:30 UTC
(05:30 CEST), dry-run gated. demo-hp 3->2, demo-felhom untouched,
chunk count unchanged (prune removes indexes, not chunks).
Write proof CLOSED: 08:25:47 job errors -> 09:37:29 TASK OK, snapshot
2026-07-27T09:37:29Z, chunks 9787->9813, prune step absent entirely.
Driven through POST /api/guest-backup/trigger (the UI path), not
--selftest and not raw vzdump. Hub gauge evidence explicitly NOT
satisfied - the delta is below its 0.1 GB display granularity.
GC scheduled sun 04:30 UTC and deliberately NOT run: every chunk still
carries a fresh atime from the migration copy, so a run today would
reclaim nothing. verify-new enabled per operator ruling, turning an
inert hub alarm live.
Legacy demo-felhom-01 namespace deleted with its two ACL entries and its
token (operator ruling, confirmed twice) so nothing dangles.
R-89 records the target architecture and carries the unanswered parallel
question: does the restic key on storage-box-pool-1 have DELETE rights?
If so the daily app-data tier has the identical exposure and append-only
is the equivalent answer.
ep0 is Etc/UTC, not CEST - corrected in the record.
The last open item from the datastore relocation. Hub operator UI
(Offsite -> PBS DR) reports felhom-offsite (ep0) at 97.9 GB capacity,
12.6 GB used, 13% full - agreeing with the on-box df (98 G / 13 G / 13%).
The gauge follows the datastore's CONFIGURED PATH, so the relocation
required no hub-side change. RUNBOOK section 10.3 warned that a stale
37.2 GB reading would mean the gauge reads the wrong filesystem and
would be a real bug worth a roadmap item - it does not, and there is
no bug.

Supervised runbook execution. No code change, no version bump.
felhom-offsite moved from ep0's 40 GB root disk (/srv/pbs-felhom) to a
dedicated 100 GB Hetzner Cloud Volume (/mnt/pbs-datastore, ext4 -m 0,
by-id fstab, relatime). Datastore NAME unchanged, so the PBS-DR
descriptors, per-box storage ids, ACLs and namespaces are untouched.
Capacity: 37.2 GB -> 98 GB total, 28.9% -> 13% used, headroom to the 80%
warn 19 GB -> ~65 GB. This CLEARS the R-82 Phase 0 P0.3 STOP. Per-tenant
encryption still precludes cross-customer dedup, so the slope is
unchanged - the volume buys runway, not a better cost model.
Verified: byte totals and chunk counts identical (9748), 7/7 snapshots
across all three namespaces, backup:backup ownership, clean itemised
dry-run, full verify job TASK OK with 0 errors, and a restore round-trip
(source_tier pbs, pass true, mount_parity ok, clean teardown).
Nothing deleted - the original 13 GB stays at /srv/pbs-felhom as the
rollback until a new weekly backup lands. GC deliberately not run.
Three findings recorded:
- the `scratch` datastore points at a non-existent path (pre-existing;
now logs ENOENT every start) - operator decision
- the runbook's S6 guard test proves the wrong proposition:
RequiresMountsFor re-mounts rather than refusing, so the test only
bites when the device is genuinely unavailable (re-run that way, and
the refusal was observed) - amendment recommended
- S11: storage box u629193 has no live backup path, BUT ep0 carries an
enabled sshfs mount unit against it that must be removed before the
box is deleted
Deviations: the volume arrived pre-formatted and mounted; S8 ran on
demo-felhom rather than demo-hp (no SSH key for demo-hp); the window was
contended by a stale in-memory 10-minute restore-test cadence whose
config had already been reverted on disk.

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.
Idempotent LAN->island migration procedure with rollback table + abort criteria
(firewall LAST). Validated verbatim on drill VM 300: rolled to r50pre, migrated,
island /storage 200, LAN DNS held on the LAN IP (Finding-1 pin), apps healthy,
hub reports 0.96.0. No rollback fired.
Virgin-ISO nested drill closed the train: dead-NIC install baked the
fallback (incl. the dead default gateway), the R-59 screen painted
(capture committed beside the spike doc), the cable move healed +
registered at the hub in 23s unaided, and the build's rootpw file
matched the installed box's shadow hash. R-59 SHIPPED with the recorded
deviation (first-boot gate; installer-initrd abort out of scope by
operator ack). R-60 SHIPPED (spike + drill cited; F-P9 route-flush fix
included). R-61 slice 1 SHIPPED. New R-62 row (hub delete-dialog
cosmetics, XS). Capability map: new PROVEN-LIVE row (nested != metal,
said so). Cleanup verified: felhom-pve interfaces byte-identical,
bridge/VMs/ISO removed.

Found validating v0.69.0 against the live hub. demo-vm-felhom was deleted
on 07-18 and was still on the Customers list AND still raising offsite_stale
(10 events, latest 07-21 17:34, operator email at 19:34) — because
GetCustomers() is report-derived and no lifecycle tier ever deleted a report.
New leg 3 (residue), before the record purge: reports, app_telemetry,
app_log_tails, log_tail_requests, customer_notifications, plus the
credential-bearing appliance_registrations and selfbind_tokens. Audit
(events, notification_log) and F-14 provenance still survive.
Ghost customers are now deletable: 404 means "nothing here", not "no config
row". With no config row the offsite descriptor is unknowable, so the Hetzner
and descriptor legs record skipped_no_config rather than a bare "skipped".
Two more red-proofs.

POST /configs/{id}/delete now runs hosts -> RESET -> purge behind three
acknowledgements, a typed customer-id, a stale-preview check and the
ONLINE-host refusal (every gate before any write, so a refusal has zero
side effects). The shallow handleConfigDelete is gone.
Two invariants are asserted, not just commented: ruling 3 is preserved by
construction (leg 2 never sees a host row) and retained escrow custody is
purged exactly once, in leg 3 (leg 2 runs with purgeEscrow=false).
handleCustomerReset's committed half was extracted as commitCustomerReset;
the standalone RESET path is byte-identical to v0.68.1 and its suite is
untouched. Five red-proofs run.

The 2026-07-18 N100 rehearsal ran the complete final-product flow on real metal
in one pass: RESET -> generic pairing ISO v1.20.0 -> customer self-bind -> day-0
-> managed-floor lift -> escrow ceremony -> offsite snapshots. No code changed;
every finding is recorded and ranked, none fixed.
VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md — run context, a UTC-normalised timeline
built from the hub events stream / hub DB / controller log / bootstrap + agent
journals, per-ledger verdicts for S1-S8 + ledgers 8 and 9, 12 findings, the
not-exercised list, and 7 discrepancies against the brief.
Headline wall-clocks: bind -> credential 26 s; bind -> controller running the
current version 2 min 44 s; managed floor 0.143.0 -> 0.145.0 in 5 s unattended
(initiated_by: auto-floor); escrow ceremony -> offsite enabled 12 s; drive enrol
30.3 s. No post-bind leg stalled, which is the immediacy row's real-onboarding
proof.
Capability map (10 citations added):
- Bare-metal Felhom ISO PARTIAL -> PROVEN-LIVE (F1 closed on metal)
- Customer self-bind (slice 1) IMPLEMENTED -> PROVEN-LIVE (customer_selfbind)
- Guest RAM resize (R-24) IMPLEMENTED -> PROVEN-LIVE (shrink AND grow)
- Customer RESET two real firings + verified external teardown
- Escrow ceremony first live wizard firing
- Immediacy row "real-onboarding proof pending" cleared
- Publish train box-side floor lift proven on a fresh install
- Customer claim R-4 gmail half (Inbox under p=quarantine)
- Offsite orphan guard staged live leg fired on its own
- DR tier by default candidate PROVEN-LIVE upgrade WITHDRAWN (R-39)
Not flipped, as instructed: customer-performs-restore, BYO, DLNA, multi-user.
ROADMAP — collapsed R-1 (appliance half done, Peti half survives), R-21
(physically closed), R-24, R-27 slice 1, R-4. New ranked items:
P2-HIGH R-39 PBS DR applied-but-dead R-30 liveness from the wait channel
R-31 async offsite + status R-32 RESET base-dir purge
R-33 bootstrap quiet-poll
P2 R-34 backup lifecycle R-35 config-apply session survival
R-36 post-RESET offsite prompt R-27c console-passphrase bind
P3 R-37 post-RESET health card R-38 installer GRUB slice
Plus a pre-invite checklist (golden 0.145.x rebuild, freemail.hu, C6, R-11).
R-39 is NEW and was not on the brief: the PBS DR descriptor auto-provisions and
the agent converges state=applied, but pvesm reports 401 Unauthorized/inactive
and a direct probe 401s on every endpoint including /version while WG is healthy.
The hub minted a second token secret two minutes after the agent applied the
first and consumed_at is still NULL; the converged state machine will not
re-apply, and the agent's verify loop cannot read the credential to notice it
(non-root read of a file it writes through a root wrapper). Rank is provisional
pending Viktor.
R-3 draft: all four [REFINE] slots filled, self-bind made the default path with
"send the link BEFORE the customer sees the console", the measured wall-clock
table added, and interim operator workarounds for R-31/R-36/R-39. C6 (renumbered
C7) is marked as the single unexecuted step and keeps the doc a DRAFT.
Evidence bundle: 180:~/n100-rehearsal/ (10 files + MANIFEST.md), collected before
the box was unplugged for travel. Secrets read only to run probes; recorded as
lengths and metadata, never values.

Makes PBS DR storage visible like the restic pool box (v0.64.0), differentiated. Scoping
correction: restic = subaccounts on the shared Hetzner Storage Box (Hetzner API); PBS DR =
the felhom-offsite PBS datastore on the ep0 endpoint VM (NO Hetzner API). Option A
(Viktor-ruled): a read-only `usage` op on the felhom-tenantsync ep0 forced command (twin of
fingerprint), polled by a new hub checker on the 15-min throttle. READ-ONLY throughout.
Phase-0 (gate PASSED): on ep0 (PBS 4.2.3), df -B1 --output=size,used,avail <datastore path>
yields bytes (39990112256/7627939840/... ~19%), read-only, existing sudo context, no admin token.
- scripts/felhom-tenantsync.sh -> v1.2.0: read-only `usage` short-circuit (df on the datastore
path), no customer_id, no admin token, NO mutation. + a bash harness proving zero mutation.
- tenantsync.Client.Usage() + BoxUsage; unknown-op -> typed ErrUsageUnsupported (graceful).
- monitor.PBSDRBoxChecker: OffsiteBoxChecker clone over a usageReader seam; 15-min throttle,
cached PBSBoxSnapshot, escalation-only pbsdr_box_fill on the "pbsdr-box" scope (operator only,
no SaveEvent), recovery re-arm. Fill only. THREE states: ok / unavailable (ep0 <=v1.1.0,
neutral no-alert) / degraded (exec failed, keep last).
- config: Alerting.PBSDRBoxFill{Warn,Crit}Percent (80/90); built with the tenantsync client,
60s sweep, SetPBSDRBox. Hub deploy INDEPENDENT of the ep0 update (graceful degradation).
- web: /offsite splits into Restic + PBS DR hash tabs (endpoint cards under PBS DR); PBS panel;
the single dashboard tile becomes two gauges (RESTIC pct.ratio, PBS DR pct / n/a).
- runbook offsite-endpoint.md 10: v1.2.0 update steps (no sudoers/authorized_keys change).
Tests: 10 Go + the harness; 3 red-proofs (usage mutation, escalation-only, unavailable-drives-band)
confirmed red then restored. go build/vet/test + bash -n + hub confirm gate all pass.
The global bearer (api.report_api_key) leaves manifests/hub.yaml: the
ConfigMap field is an empty placeholder; the Deployment injects
REPORT_API_KEY from out-of-band Secret/report-api (deliberately NOT
optional - a missing Secret fails Ready rather than booting a hub with an
empty bearer). main.go gains the REPORT_API_KEY env override (the
RESEND_API_KEY twin). scripts/manifest_secret_gate.py blocks bearer-shaped
(64-hex) literals across manifests/ (felhom.secret.yaml's pre-existing
umami APP_SECRET is a visible non-fatal KNOWN-BACKLOG line - secrets.md
backlog, out of scope here).
Ordering (load-bearing): create Secret/report-api with the CURRENT value
BEFORE syncing; this manifest change rides the same sync as the 0.53.0
image (older images ignore the env override). The exposed git-history copy
dies only with the supervised ROTATION - procedure + consumer list in
documentation/runbooks/secrets.md ("Operator/global bearer key"); both
publish runbooks' ROTATION notes now point at that disposition. The
controller repo's example-config copy of the literal is scrubbed
(felhom-controller 51c871a).
Red-proof E: reintroducing a 64-hex literal into manifests/hub.yaml ->
gate exit 1 (recorded); restored clean.
Audit doc for the Day-0 VM drill: appliance install, floor-at-first-report,
escrow ceremony + auto-confirm FIRST LIVE FIRING (~7.5 min, zero clicks),
offsite backup + restore round-trip, PBS-DR/WG fork (Peti-sequence rehearsal).
Corrects day0-install.md A.2 (git creds optional since v1.11.2, anonymous
fetch is the normal shape) and RUNBOOK-escrow-ceremony.md (identity-only mode
does NOT exist — F-6; age prereq — F-10). REPORT.md overwritten; CONTEXT.md
one-liner added.

§5: add the standing note that a host's root@pam may be pinned to a known
operator-chosen password instead of the random day-0 one — set via chpasswd +
re-vault (PUT /hosts/<id>/recovery-credential, host api_key), guarded by the
break_glass state marker so plain installer re-runs skip it. Caveats: never
--rotate-recovery such a host; a full from-scratch reinstall wipes state.json
and re-randomizes (re-run the set-and-vault). Captures why demo-felhom-01's
