The drill is complete. Teardown done in three layers plus Gitea; the live catalog's every `image:`
line is proven identical to before.
WHAT WAS MEASURED. 21 edges across 19 apps, on scratch guest 9202 through the product's own
guarded Update, against a PRIVATE DRILL CATALOG so the live catalog carried no test reference at
any point: 14 proven, 3 failed, 4 inconclusive. Each app seeded and read back through its OWN
front door, with a negative control on every readback. Ten of the fourteen printed a verbatim
migration line. Up from the three apps this project had ever measured.
THE RESULT THAT MATTERS. R-618, P1: three of the 53 templates name a health probe the app does not
answer, and because the guarded update WAITS on that same probe, a SUCCESSFUL update ends by
STOPPING a working app. tandoor was measured serving HTTP 200 on the new version at four samples
across five minutes, docker's own healthcheck green, and was then stopped and the household sent
to a restore they did not need. zipline and wger are the same defect, both confirmed live. The
gate that catches all three is static and cheap: both health checks already sit in the same file.
WHAT THE NIGHT ANSWERED that was open. The UNATTENDED HOLD (312.9 s, pressed once, never again) —
which needed a purpose-built image store, because the rule that makes automatic updates safe is
the same rule that refuses the obvious way to break one. MariaDB across a major through the real
button, all four observables, first time. PostgreSQL across a major, refusing exactly as predicted,
with the conversion costed at ~9 s of engine work. There is NO single-flight: five updates ran at
once and all ended honest. And the two EARLY power-cut phases nobody had cut in.
TWELVE NEW ROWS (R-615..R-626), register 303 -> 315, and eight existing rows updated with what was
measured — including two CORRECTIONS: R-606 records the pre-flight refusals as reaching an English
household in English and they do not, and R-446/R-458 are both narrower than their rows state.
Two instrument fixes were needed before anything could be trusted: the unattended caller turned
every success into a timeout (R-623), and one of my own reproductions was wrong and is kept
labelled with what it actually measured.
Interventions: zero. No controller, agent or hub code written. The hub was never touched beyond
the floor the operator asked for.
Gates: repo_gates.py --fast, all 15 OK.

INTERIM CHECKPOINT — evidence off the machine at the end of the phase that produced it (R-320),
not at the end of the session. Phases 2-5 follow in a later commit.
Phase 0, all three mechanisms proven with their controls:
- the fleet floor to 0.261.0 with its declared MinAgent — both demo boxes in 13 s, the hub
logging `managed floor SERVED ... from declared (golden 0.258.0)`.
- a PRIVATE DRILL CATALOG (admin/app-catalog-drill), so that broken, dummy, cross-repo and
engine-major edges can be measured without the live catalog ever carrying one. Positive
control quoted, and two negative controls: the live catalog's main and both real boxes'
caches unchanged.
- a throwaway image store on the scratch guest, which is what makes an UNATTENDED HOLD
measurable at all: an edge that PASSES the within-a-major test and still fails.
CompareImageRefs was proven to order host:port/ references by RUNNING it (4 positive cases
+ 1 negative control), not by reading it.
Phase 1: real within-a-major upstream edges walked on guest 9202 through the product's own
guarded Update, each app seeded and read back through its OWN front door (R-156), with a
per-edge verdict record in 09's shape. `inconclusive` is never collapsed into `failed`.
TWO INSTRUMENT FIXES, both in this repo's own evidence code:
- 00-api-recipe.md said the app page is /app/<n>; it is /apps/<n>, and every call it described
404s. Corrected, with the session-expiry note that cost the same time.
- unattended-caller.py's follow() read update_phase/updating off the API ENVELOPE, so both were
always None and EVERY followed update ran to its 900 s timeout and was then recorded
`timeout` and never-press-again. Fixed before B1 relied on it. R-623.
No controller, agent or hub code was written. The live catalog carries no broken reference.
Gates: repo_gates.py --fast — all 15 OK, exit 0.
