Third instance of one class (hub v0.12.0, v0.73.0, this), fixed as a class.
On 2026-07-26 03:00 UTC expected_backup_missed fired on demo-felhom, demo-hp
and drill-r50 at once; the demo-felhom one reached the CUSTOMER channel
claiming "newest backup is 176h0m0s old". Nothing was wrong — three vzdump
archives were on disk. Cause: the agent backup store is in-memory, so the
R-50 fleet restart emptied `backups` until the next run, and the hub read
empty as "no backup exists".
- assessBackupFreshness returns OK/UNKNOWN/MISSED instead of `missed bool`;
absence is UNKNOWN until it outlives an anchored window. Still pure.
- store.GetHostReportsSince + monitor.newestBackupEvidence read the hubs own
retained history (bounded 7-day lookback, early-exit on fresh evidence) —
"when did I last SEE evidence of a backup?" The anchor was free: the hub
already retains 90 days. No agent change, no new persisted state.
- store.GetFirstHostReportAt anchors absence at first contact, reusing the
existing 26h threshold as the grace (no new knob, the v0.73.0 shape).
- Deferrals logged + counted; reason strings kept distinct.
- backupStaleAfter untouched; landmine recorded (a weekly PBS snapshot would
alarm six days in seven) and owned by R-82.
Tests 493->508. Red-proofs A/B/C observed and restored; A reproduces the live
message verbatim. Replayed the real 03:00 reports (600/417/77 rows): all
three now silent.

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.
New documentation/controller/import-and-data-paths.md: the canonical import root
(and why it is NOT a registered StoragePath), the three data_paths roles, the
Fork-3 validation asymmetry, the class-driven copy rule, and the seven
invariants a future change must not break.
Capability map "File access via browser" — status DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED. The
drop-zone now has its own FileBrowser source and the app page carries a deep
link, both verified live, but nothing drove the FileBrowser HTTP UI (no browser
on DooPlex), so the row's standing "browse is exercised in no doc" caveat still
holds and PROVEN-LIVE remains unearned.
R-75 collapsed to its shipped one-liner. R-76 left open — this task does not fix
it, and nothing built here assumes an import/* directory stays 2775.
R-75 (spiked, GO) names the capability-map row it would flip: "File access via
browser" (00-capability-map.md line 96), currently IMPLEMENTED with the caveat
that browse/download through FileBrowser is exercised in no doc. Carries the
mandatory determinism constraint from P6 (sort + red-proof, or FileBrowser
force-recreates on every sync pass), the zero-removals invariant for
`documents`, the url.PathEscape-not-QueryEscape trap, and the four design forks
with evidence + recommendation, all awaiting operator ruling.
R-76 is minted for the two PRE-EXISTING defects the spike surfaced and
deliberately did not fix: FileBrowser Quantum creating 0644/0755 without
propagating setgid (breaking the shared-group chain one level below any
customer-created folder -- latent only because every userdata-touching app runs
uid 1000), and import/calibre living at 755 on demo-felhom where its same-app
sibling media/books is 2775.

- B2 demo-hp + B3 demo-felhom migrated to the island (agent 0.96.0), apps

New capability-map row (IMPLEMENTED; §13 endpoint-level live on 9201). Records the
ruling: member accounts are superseded by the capability-URL guest share for
launcher sharing; per-member tile visibility parked under the SSO/members arc (R-15).
Updated the launcher row's member-coupling note and R-15 accordingly.
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.

R-59 no-DHCP install must hard-abort (it baked 192.168.100.2 static and
completed - a box that can never call home). R-60 first-boot NIC sweep
self-heal. R-61 the baked root password must be knowable; a fixed well-known
password is explicitly rejected.
Positive evidence same-session: R-21 slice C PROVEN on a SECOND, virgin board
(HP t740) - and the shim loader booted with Secure Boot ENABLED, retiring the
assumption that Felhom installs need SB off. Fresh-box floor lift
0.153.0 -> 0.156.0 during day-0 cited on the publish-train row.
ISO README gains the t740 five-NIC trap: the 4-port igb card gets no lease,
the onboard r8169 port does.
R-58 records the operator ruling (2026-07-21) with the argument verbatim: the
installer should list available storage devices, excluding the install media,
and let one be selected. Third ISO mode alongside unattended-serial and
match-nothing-safety; unattended stays the appliance/factory mode. Slice 1 is
the abort-screen candidate table, same enumeration code, and it collapses the
two-boot dance on its own. Matters most for BYO/reinstall, where the serial is
unknown and a wrong guess is destructive.
ISO README gains the HP section: shim proven on this board by the safety boot,
the uncommitted-armed-profile pattern, verify-from-inside-the-ISO, and a
pointer to the prior-LVM abort that is the one likely failure on a
second-hand disk.
R-55's reboot leg ran operator-present on 9201: immich UI-stopped -> stayed
stopped across pct reboot, calibre-web recreated, zero alerts, ~15s.
R-57 records the lifecycle mechanism with the operator's abandoned-app
requirements verbatim and plant-it as the motivating case, including why the
retired/ directory move was wrong and the v0.158.1 pointer-receiver defect.
PROMPT-TEMPLATE: standard 'For the operator' plain-language section, mandatory
for M+ tasks and anything with a STOP.
ROADMAP rulings (operator, 2026-07-21): R-25b full-teardown cascade with three
acks + typed name (M-sized, spec to follow, no longer blocks R-3); R-11 channel
= direct Messenger, doc is the architect's; R-42 option (a), sidecars follow the
app; R-17 delete the archive - spike-lite found NO tooling verb targets it, so
it is an operator console action; R-4 complete (freemail.hu verified).
R-55 + R-41 slice 1 marked shipped; new R-56 (app difficulty classification -
the constructive half of the glance ruling).
scripts/build-hub.sh v1.23.0: the hub build script was outside any repo. Adopted
verbatim + versioned; the build-dir path is now a symlink to it.
felhom-testing skill: the ~1/5 recovery-code 'known flake' is retired - it was a
real defect the test was correctly detecting.
Dead primary: degraded in 13 s, exactly one app_start_failed, banner rendered and
self-cleared. Boot orphan: recovered in one attempt with zero alerts. Dead dhclient:
detected in 57 s on process liveness while the lease was still live, healed 120 s after the
kill — the tunnel never dropped, so the outage was prevented rather than observed.
P1 answered as a by-product: bookstack StartedAt == the moment bootrecon StartStack
returned, so unless-stopped did NOT resurrect it. F5 hypothesis confirmed.
New R-55, surfaced by the leg designed to prove the opposite: the boot bind gate recreates
and STARTS every deployed drive-backed app unconditionally, so a customer Stop does not
survive a reboot for those apps. Predates R-52 and does not implicate it, but it narrows
R-52's practical scope and needs a ruling.
R-51's roadmap diagnosis is corrected at the source: aggregation returned StateRunning
("partial") for a running/stopped mix, so the stack read RUNNING and IsDownState was never
consulted about at all — the constraint that row protects was never in tension
with the fix.
New R-54 row closes the INCIDENT-guest-dhclient-killed-2026-07-20 §5 OPEN RISK, and records
the design fact that makes it work: liveness of the DHCP client is itself a probe, because
the damage is timed and the address outlives its cause by 1-2 hours. The static-guest leg is
deliberately deferred to R-50.
New capability-map row is IMPLEMENTED, not PROVEN-LIVE: one leg is live (the watchdog's
healthy cycle on felhom-pve), the three that matter are destructive and operator-present and
have not run.
PROMPT-TEMPLATE §10 gains the seam-discipline row, including that a strings.Contains source
assertion is NOT sufficient — a commented-out call still contains the string.
The operator pressed Re-issue PBS credentials and the chain closed in 13 seconds. The
identical click on 2026-07-18 did nothing at all.
hub 08:39:31Z fresh mint, generation 0 -> 1; descriptor gains secret_generation: 1
(token_id + fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL — the invisible re-key shape)
agent 10:39:34 felhom-pbs-apply read felhom-pbs (leg b: the impossible read)
agent 10:39:38 ERROR REJECTED ... applied and DEAD, previous_state=applied
(leg c: the R-39 state, loud)
hub 08:39:45Z consumed_at stamped
agent 10:39:45 one-time token secret consumed (leg a: NO short-circuit)
agent 10:39:45 reconcile (set-only, no --server)
agent 10:39:47 pbsdr: converged state=applied
Corroboration: marker hash moved to afbb3b41… (it was byte-identical to the pre-reissue
marker in the failure); secret mtime 2026-07-18 -> 2026-07-21 10:39:45; new credential
probes 200; three consecutive reports trace applied -> auth_failed -> applied; ZERO
self-heal escalations, one mint, one consume, no consumed-failed.json — the box healed
through the descriptor path before the damper was ever needed.
Recorded for future runbooks: the operator first pressed the OFFSITE re-issue (two
distinct Re-issue actions exist). Harmless to PBS-DR, but it rotated the restic password
and correctly marked the escrow STALE, so the ceremony had to be re-run. Name the surface
explicitly next time.
R-39's three legs are closed and deployed: the hub stamps a monotonic secret_generation
so a re-key finally moves the descriptor hash; the wrapper gains a narrow read verb so
the non-root agent can read the credential it writes; and ProbeAuth turns a 401 into a
loud auth_failed the existing damper escalates to a fresh mint. Plus a consumed_at
honesty gauge for the applied-but-never-consumed disagreement.
Recorded in the R-39 row, because both are the kind of thing a future reader needs:
- A load-bearing fact the spec did not flag, checked rather than trusted: Apply bails out
if the storage status probe ERRORS and adopt converges without consuming when the
storage reads active, so the fix depended on PVE's 401 behaviour. PVE's storage_info
wraps activation in eval{} and leaves active=0, so a 401 returns HTTP 200 with
active:0 — never an API error. The chain is sound by proof, not inference.
- A defect I shipped and caught: v0.91.0 built the probe seam and main.go never wired it,
so the leg was inert while every test passed. Same class as controller v0.154.0 the day
before. Fixed in v0.91.1 (artifact superseded, not overwritten); v0.91.2 made a healthy
probe observable so "no auth_failed" can never again be confused with "never probed".
The DR-tier capability row is deliberately NOT upgraded to PROVEN-LIVE: the decisive
evidence is STOP-2, the operator pressing Re-issue and the box converging where the
identical click did nothing on 2026-07-18.
R-50b(a) shipped — wrapper sha256 in the manifest + agent reporting + host drift surface,
with unknown-on-either-side reading as quiet rather than drift. (b)/(c) remain open: the
wrapper is still fetched unversioned from raw/branch/main.
The operator moved the global floor to a version the box did NOT run (0.153.0 ->
v0.154.0) and the managed self-update fired exactly once:
06:57:13Z UpdateState pending, initiated_by=auto-floor
06:57:17Z agent: controller swap requested 0.153.0 -> 0.154.0
06:57:21Z container restarted
06:57:29Z agent: new controller healthy (16 s save -> healthy)
Over a 39-minute window: swap requests 1, agent-driven bootstrap restarts 1,
rollbacks 0, container RestartCount 0. VerifyStartup confirmed on the next boot;
the following periodic check logged "Current version 0.154.0 is up to date" —
the at/above-floor branch correctly doing nothing.
The 2026-07-20 attempt proved nothing because it targeted an already-running
version; that was the whole reason this leg stayed open.
Disclosed in both rows: a hand-deploy of v0.155.0 at 07:17:10 falls inside the
observation window and is what StartedAt shows afterwards. It never goes through
SwapController, so the swap-count assertions hold across the full window — and it
incidentally re-confirmed the at/above-floor branch (0.155.0 running against a
0.154.0 floor -> updater did nothing).
R-23(b) (cosmetic Waiter "recovered" log timing) remains open.
R-48 — the offsite restore controls collapse to one „Visszaállítás…" entry per app plus
a per-app wizard with three described intent cards. Shipped in controller v0.154.0
(3a9d744). Live click-through still pending the operator's floor save.
R-39 — the planned v0.90.1 artifact publish was CANCELLED as a false signal (operator
ruling 2026-07-21). 9596d5a changes zero non-test Go files; its own message says "the Go
binary is unchanged". The fix is the felhom-pbs-apply wrapper, which felhom-pve has
carried since 2026-07-18 and which every new install fetches from raw/branch/main
regardless of binary version. Publishing would have delivered no behaviour change and
advertised a versioned fix the artifact channel never carried.
R-50b (new) — that stop surfaced the real defect: a root-owned privileged host artifact
is delivered unversioned from main, absent from the Day-0 manifest, so the fleet has no
way to answer which wrapper a given host is running.
Capability map — the destroy-then-recover drill ran through the customer UI:
photos deleted, TRASH EMPTIED, full files+database restore. 40 files placed
against 6 in the earlier non-destructive run, 1 DB dump replayed rc-0, 11
assets active, no drift, timeline confirmed. That is the proof the 6D
downgrade asked for, so the offsite-restore row earns PROVEN-LIVE. The
customer-restore row records the honest residual: an operator ran it, so the
row's literal 'a customer, not the operator' wording still owes one pass.
ROADMAP R-23(a) — the STOP-2 floor save released the held wait in the SAME
SECOND (hub 18:56:27 CEST = controller 16:56:27Z), out-of-cycle report 2s
later, generation advanced 0 -> 1. Still open: the self-restart single-fire
leg, since the floor was set to a version the box already ran.
Trap recorded: the wake is logx.Debugf, so it is invisible in docker logs at
INFO and lives only in the debug ring.
ROADMAP R-47 and the capability map's offsite-restore row now carry the live
evidence: a supervised reconstitute of immich from snapshot 49e7cb46 — the
same snapshot that aborted in round 2 — ran stop -> DB-service-only start ->
replay rc-0 -> full start, with no 'already exists', a SUCCESS outcome, and
immich's own 'No schema drift detected' twice where round 2 left it
reporting drift.
The offsite-restore row's residual for a PROVEN-LIVE flip is now only the
immich timeline screenshot (no browser on DooPlex).
Golden 0.153.0 baked and published the same day, sha256 15fdd191f3c660a6...,
first golden carrying all four infra images.
ROADMAP: R-47 collapsed to a shipped one-liner naming both paths (offsite
ReconstituteFromOffsite and local RestoreFromRecoveryUnit), the DB-only
window mechanism, the fail-closed rule, and the no-agent-coupling
declaration (MinAgent stays 0.90.0).
Capability map: the offsite-restore PARTIAL row and the customer-restore
MISSING row both note that H4 is closed in controller v0.153.0 and that they
now await only one clean acceptance run.
Also corrects the stale "closes in v0.149" wording in BOTH rows — v0.149.0
was the F3 dashboard BackupStatus fix; R-47 shipped in v0.153.0.
Also records against R-45 the lesson the loop taught: a phase a client answers
with a one-shot action must be an EDGE the registry serves once, never a level
synthesised into the phase channel.
VERDICT. H1 confirmed: the reconstitution never ran. /backup/offbox/reconstitute
was never hit (reconstituted/safety-dump/replay line counts all 0); the operator
clicked the old missing-only button, which merged 34 files and left the DB
untouched. H2 rejected (the full path never executed; staging used the correct
snapshot 49e7cb46). H3 rejected (no replay happened; DB was genuinely asset:0).
R-44 is exonerated and working: 49e7cb46 carries offsite_run_id 20260719T102851Z
and its dump probes to asset:11 / user:1 — a properly coherent pair, against
round 1's asset:0 / user:0.
H4 (NEW, the more important result). Phase-3 recovery ran the real sequence and
the v0.148.0 path executed correctly — safety dump, stop, start, replay — then
the replay ABORTED: relation "clip_index" already exists. Proven to the second:
10:58:25 controller begins replay
10:58:33 immich-server "Reindexing clip_index" -> "Reindexed clip_index"
10:58:35 dump's CREATE INDEX clip_index fails, exit 3
The replay races the app's own schema repair, because reconstitution starts the
stack before replaying (ImportDump needs a live container). The photos survived
only because pg_dump emits COPY data before CREATE INDEX — luck, not design. The
same start-then-replay shape is on the LOCAL path, so it is a class defect.
Recovery: PARTIAL and STOPPED as instructed. All 11 assets are back and visible
by every DB criterion (status=active, deletedAt null, all files resolve), but the
operation reported failure and immich reports schema drift. Not clean acceptance
evidence; no second attempt made; safety dump read only.
Findings -> R-47 (the replay race), R-48 (restore controls separable only by
layout — the proven cause of this incident), R-49 (1.1 GB of a 1.2 GB immich
backup is ML model cache + a postgres data-dir tar duplicating the .sql dump +
immich's own nightly dump; recorded, not changed).
RULINGS LANDED.
- 00-capability-map.md:61 -> PARTIAL, scope-corrected: 6D's destruction hit the
FILE TREE only; the DB survived in its named volume, so "end-to-end from
offsite alone" overclaimed scope.
- The 704.6 MiB "discrepancy" -> CLOSED, not a defect: it was immich's own
Tarhely widget, never a controller page. Same for round 2's 650MiB->1.4GiB.
- customer-restore row: partial evidence recorded, NOT flipped.
Diagnosis only — no code, label or layout changes; no forget/prune.

ROADMAP R-43/R-44 → SHIPPED with what actually landed:
- R-43: ReconstituteFromOffsite — safety dump → stop → files overwritten to
the snapshot version → start → the snapshot's own dump replayed from the
SCRATCH unit (the live unit is still never overwritten). Invariants:
nothing is ever deleted, and the undo is verified on disk before the act.
- R-44: every run, manual AND nightly, refreshes dumps + units BEFORE the
capture, so each snapshot is a coherent {DB@T, files@T} pair stamped with
offsite_run_id + dumps_at. Nightly ordering is now structural rather than a
coincidence of two scheduler entries at 02:30 and 04:15.
DIAG doc gains a "fixed in v0.148.0" header pointing at both.
Capability map deliberately NOT flipped: the DB half now exists but is PARTIAL,
not PROVEN-LIVE — shipped and deployed with no live acceptance behind it. The
customer-restore row stays MISSING, now blocked only on the evidence run rather
than on missing capability, and R-3 stays DRAFT.
Still open: the 00-capability-map.md:61 ruling — did CAMPAIGN-6D's "immich
end-to-end from offsite alone" exercise the DB half, or only the file half?

R-38 flips to SHIPPED with the live-canary evidence. Two new items registered
from tonight's work: R-45 (unified async-job feedback — five one-off progress
surfaces now exist and agree on nothing; the two lessons any framework must
encode are "probe the terminal state, never infer it" and "a source reporting
nothing is normal, not broken") and R-46 (verification copies are now visible
but still cannot be browsed and never expire — the invisible-result gap and the
disk-lifecycle gap, designed together because they are the same object).
Pre-invite checklist gains the golden note: build-golden v2.1.0 makes goldens
>= 0.147.x carry all four infra images; no rebuild for this alone.
REPORT-<topic>.md per the parallel-session rule — another session is writing in

Viktor deleted 11 immich photos to test offsite restore; both place runs
merged 0 files and flashed success. Two-layered root cause:
- A UI delete means TRASH, not deletion — no file left the disk, so there
was genuinely nothing missing to restore. The test proved nothing.
- A valid test would also have failed: no offsite path loads a database.
All three buttons are file-only (offbox_restore.go:171-232, :346-421).
Files return; the library stays empty. The only DB replay is
RestoreFromRecoveryUnit, reachable solely from the LOCAL restore panel.
Compounding: the manual push never refreshes dumps (offbox_handlers.go:
203-227) — today's unit dump is from 02:30 and probes to asset:0 / user:0 /
album:0, predating both the admin user and the photos. Had a full restore
loaded it, it would have written an empty DB over the live one, destroying
the trashed rows that were the only surviving recovery path.
Answer to "can a customer trust same-day offsite?" for a DB-indexed app:
no — files come back, content does not.
No product code changed. Photos left in trash (recovery not wanted).
Capability map: customer-restore row stays MISSING by finding, not by
absence of attempt; offsite-restore row flagged scope-contested pending
a ruling on whether CAMPAIGN-6D exercised the DB half.

Adds the CAMPAIGN 7 audit doc (53/53 apps deployed and validated on the demo box
through the real controller endpoints; 45 pass, 13 template fixes, ranked
findings) and the uninstall-semantics map row it proves out: remove requires stop
first, named docker volumes are ALWAYS destroyed including the DB, HDD data and
backups survive unless explicitly ticked, and the per-app offsite toggle outlives
the app while tier-2 config is cleared.
ROADMAP +3:
R-40 the update path cannot express a multi-hop major upgrade (nextcloud
forbids skipping majors; the template moved 31 -> 34)
R-41 no standing 'does every template still deploy?' check -- the sweep was
the first thing to try, and found 5 apps that had NEVER been deployable
R-42 ruling needed on DB/cache sidecar majors (deliberately not bumped)
CLAUDE.md: REPORT.md is overwritten, so a second concurrent session in this repo
writes REPORT-<topic>.md instead -- applied to this run's own report.
Campaign 7 catalog sweep.

R-36: both halves delivered — the enabled-but-unprovisioned warning on the
customer page (reusing the same predicate the offsite re-issue handler refuses
on), and the related sub-item, auto-minting the self-bind link at customer
creation AND RESET completion so the console banner's promised email is already
true. Records the gap found while wiring it: PurgeCustomerResetDBState does not
clear selfbind_tokens, so a pre-RESET link would have survived the reset; the
skip paths now clear stale tokens.
R-37: the post-RESET staleness banner, narrow by design — an in-flight reset
does not trigger it, it clears itself on the first post-RESET report, and ties
resolve to STALE because SQLite timestamps are second-resolution and a
same-second report almost certainly predates the reset.
Both red-proofed.

Golden 0.146.0 baked on the drill VM and published to gitea:
felhom-golden/0.146.0/golden.tar.zst
sha256 4834c703162c5437467a329144b1a523019bf5693ab9d439558be7323587e955
612696588 B (584 MB archive), controller 0.146.0 confirmed baked in
All pass markers green: Result=success/ExecMainStatus=0, 0 FATAL/exclusions,
docker OK (overlay2), ALL THREE mounts included (rootfs + mp0 /var/lib/docker +
mp1 /mnt/sys_drive), pre-delete HTTP 404 (the pre-gate — version did not exist),
upload HTTP 201.
Integrity verified independently of the build host: anonymous GET | sha256sum
matches byte-for-byte, ranged GET 206, content-length matches the bake's bytes.
The version now appears in the hub dropdown (0.136.0, 0.143.0, 0.146.0).
Teardown per GL-1: log copied out as evidence first
(180:/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/drill/bake-0.146.0.log), guest 9100 purged, token +
script + log shredded in-VM, VM off, qemu confirmed gone via `ps -eo comm` (not
the self-matching pgrep -f), drill disk reverted to the virgin snapshot exactly
as found. Token-leak grep = 0 against the LITERAL token value, on the bake log
and both ISO build logs from this session.
REMAINING is operator-only and password-gated: Day-0 manifest Golden -> 0.146.0
(Agent stays 0.90.0, MinAgent stays 0.90.0 — v0.146.0 declares no new agent
coupling), then the floor -> v0.146.0 saved LAST.

ROADMAP:
- R-39 gains the full live diagnosis and REFUTES the brief's hypothesis. The
generation IS bumped (SetHostDesired bumps unconditionally, 2->3) and
applyPBSDR is exonerated, so no hub fix was shipped. The real mechanism is a
signal mismatch: the hub's re-consume signal is a generation bump + poke,
while the agent re-applies on a change of the DESCRIPTOR CONTENT HASH
(manager.go ~L235). An ep0 re-issue re-keys the secret of an EXISTING token,
so token_id/fingerprint are unchanged, the descriptor is byte-identical, the
hash never moves, and the fresh secret is never consumed -> 401 forever.
Proof: consumed-failed.json carries the same hash a4e5424... as the marker
written two minutes before the re-issue.
Records the second defect found while healing (wrapper reconcile passing
--server, fixed in agent v0.90.1), marks the box HEALED with evidence
(pvesm active, token 200, a real 9.7 GB encrypted backup listed PBS-side),
and leaves the fleet fix explicitly pending its own spec.
- R-33 collapses to SHIPPED (scripts v1.21.0), incl. why
TimeoutStartSec=infinity is the load-bearing half.
- Pre-invite checklist: golden target moves 0.145.x -> 0.146.0 and notes it is
now MORE stale, since v0.146.0 is live on the demo box while the golden still
bakes 0.143.0.
REPORT overwritten with the train: R-39 diagnosis verbatim + heal evidence, the
two ISO shas with the byte-identical-payload verification, the nav polish and
why the screenshot leg could not be done (the demo controller password is
customer-owned since the claim flow, so the build-server credentials are stale),
Phase 4 skipped cleanly, and Phase 5 deferred rather than half-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.
