CENSUS (read-only, hub store, tester's machine not contacted): no machine that is
not ours can be in the state that cost demo-felhom its history. The hub holds
escrow for three hosts; both demo boxes lost their pre-fix key in the same four
hours on 2026-08-04; peti-felhom and david have no host row and no escrow at all.
A control ran FIRST and had to pass -- the query returned "present (572 bytes)"
for a host known to have material and "absent (NULL)" for one known not to.
Corrected my own instrument on the way: a date-only comparison mislabelled both
losses as after the fix, so the in-force moment is now pinned from the hub's first
post-fix escrow row (11:11:37Z), which independently agrees with the register.
PART 1 ESTABLISHED. The prune is recorded inside R-267 -- the row about the
Configuration page being slow -- because pruning artifacts is what made that page
fast. Arithmetic checks (23+7=30, plus three versions that only surfaced after the
first thirty moved them onto page one = 33) and the PAGINATED listing shows both
generics at exactly ten. R-291's blocking condition is released: the operator was
being asked to establish something already written down. And my counter-argument
yesterday was wrong in exactly the way R-267 warns about -- "containers hold 19"
came from an unpaginated query; paginated they hold 270 and 169.
RECEIPTS: three restored (drives.enrol, backup.tier1, fail.lost-recovery-code),
each citing the document that walked it; the map already read PROVEN-LIVE for all
three, so this follows the map rather than raising a status in the view. NINE
HONEST GREYS. fault.selfheal's best hit argues against it -- an incident recording
self-heal's absence through a 1h15m outage.
THE DECAY RULE FIRED FOR THE FIRST TIME. backup.restore-proof has a receipt from
28 July and is superseded anyway: demo-hp's restore-test failed 5 August and the
box has since been rebuilt. A claim about a continuing behaviour cannot rest on an
old observation. The capability map still reads PROVEN-LIVE and is now the thing
out of step -- recorded, not silently rewritten.
PART 4 specified, not implemented. The orphan card promises restorability the box
rendering it cannot evaluate: the discriminator is on the hub and no wire field
carries it. A conditional promise the system cannot evaluate is the same defect as
an unconditional false one, so the copy stops promising, says what happens, and
names a route. Ships with the next controller change so one bake covers both.
55 claims verified. Twelve moved, all downwards: walked 32 -> 20, built 5 -> 17.
Register ceiling R-284 -> R-290.
THE RULE DID NOT FIRE THE WAY IT WAS EXPECTED TO. Not one downgrade came from
code moving under an old proof. All twelve came from step 1 of the same rule --
the cited evidence does not exist. Measured: of the 28 capability-map rows
behind the page's claims, 8 carry a tests/ or audits/ path and 20 carry prose
only. The green dots were drawn from rows that cite an argument, not a walk
(R-290). The map, not the dataset, is what needs fixing -- it still says
PROVEN-LIVE for all twelve.
And once it ran backwards: fault.operator-email looked contradicted by R-182,
but live source shows the backup_run_failures digest allowlisted, operator-only
and templated, with recovery_unit_capture_failed now record-only. The claim is
right and the REGISTER ROW is stale (R-289). The session went looking for stale
proofs and found a stale defect.
R-281 WITHDRAWN -- wrong in both directions, settled by the operator's mailbox.
The tripwire DID fire (escrow_blob_served 10:19:41Z = 12:19 CEST) and false
error-severity alarms fired too, for deliberate attended work (R-285). The
measurement's cause is ESTABLISHED: the P7 query copied hub.db without hub.db-wal,
and the signature is exact -- it reported "2 events all day, newest 00:30:07",
and the rows at or before 00:30:07 number exactly 2. Timezone and wrong-key were
tested and refuted. The control had been drawn from the same stale snapshot as
the measurement, which is why it agreed (R-286).
Part 4: NO WORKFLOW CHANGED, deliberately. The gate is not ref-sensitive -- it
enumerates from the Gitea tags API, and both previous tag pushes passed. The red
is TRUE: run 267 saw v0.120.0 downloadable, run 284 on the same commit saw 404.
Who deleted the package is NOT established and is not guessed (R-287).
The page is now generated from where-felhom-stands.yaml by scripts/render_stands.py:
static, zero script tags, every moved status carrying a visible "changed, was X"
chip. The React bundle -- whose content was gzip+base64 inside a JS module map --
is kept as a dated snapshot. scripts/check_stands.py gates the data and convicted
51 problems in my own first draft before the staged positive control ever ran.
