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.
Closes N100 F1 (HIGH): cheap AMI (AN3PLUS 0.01-class) UEFI firmware can't
relocate the ISO's stock signed GRUB from USB (relocation 0x0). The run's live
grub-mkimage workaround is now a first-class pipeline mode.
- build-felhom-iso.sh: --loader shim|mkimage (default shim, byte-for-byte
unchanged; profile-settable FELHOM_LOADER; --loader wins). Loud banner +
manifest loader:/grub-mkimage: fields + -mkimage filename suffix.
- mkimage-surgery.sh (new): post-prepare-iso, in the assistant container. Builds
a monolithic grub-mkimage loader from the ISO's own GRUB (module set from its
grub.cfg; embedded search --fs-uuid -> configfile the real menu). Swaps it into
the ISO9660 tree (real lowercase path) + the efi.img ESP; xorriso re-master
preserves BIOS-hybrid + UEFI + GPT-ESP, drops only Apple HFS+/APM. Recipe from
the N100 run evidence, not re-derived.
- Dockerfile.assistant: grub-common + grub-efi-amd64-bin + mtools + dosfstools.
profiles/n100.profile (new, mkimage + SB-off note).
- Validated on nested VM 311 (RUNBOOK-B legs): leg1 shim boots+installs under
OVMF SB-enforcing + SeaBIOS; leg2 mkimage boots+installs under SB-off; leg3
(red-proof) mkimage under SB-enforcing FAILS Access Denied (unsigned -> SB must
be OFF); leg4 surgery byte-identical payload. bash -n + shellcheck clean.
Physical N100 closure folds into the rehearsal (n100-safety match-nothing ISO
built + sha-recorded, unbooted). PXE stays a deferred R-21 note.
- DeleteHost(deleteEscrow) demotes current host_escrow into host_escrow_superseded (copy-before-delete, same tx), spares existing; one shared demoteCurrentEscrowTx (reused by SaveHostEscrow). F-14 provenance/gate unchanged.
- DeleteCustomerConfig now purges both escrow tables for all the customer's hosts incl. already-deleted (F-14 provenance UNION) — the one true purge point.
- Wording: checkbox/refusal/Danger-zone → demotion. S6b OBSOLETE. Red-proofs TestDeleteHost_Demotes + TestDeleteCustomer_Purges + wording guard.
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.
Empirical spike (demo arc, docs-only, no product code). Measures the two hub->box
'sync now' transports. Verdict: (b) long-poll = primary for user config (hub-only,
reaches controller, no ep0/WG/agent coupling; binding ceiling = twin 60s nginx
proxy_read_timeout + hub WriteTimeout, both config lifts); (a) ep0-relayed poke
= agent-plane nudge (~0.42s, zero ep0/box infra change, EKEYREJECTED-confined).
Viktor Q2 answered: hub.felhom.eu is DNS-only, no Cloudflare. All live mutations
reverted; arc re-verified green.
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.
Supervised clean-slate reinstall of the demo N100 from a pipeline-built Felhom ISO +
onboarding rehearsal. Core objectives GREEN: first-boot chain reached rc-0 on the first
attempt on real hardware (closes slice A's operator-gated boundary), serial-filter safety
proven on metal, PBS-DR reconciler self-healed on the reused peer, DMI verdict -> key on
MAC+UUID. Hard obstacle was firmware not the pipeline: this cheap AMI AN3PLUS 0.01 board
won't UEFI-boot the ISO's GRUB from USB (relocation 0x0; SB-off + shim-bypass don't help),
worked around live with a grub-mkimage loader from the box's own GRUB (slice-B input).
7 findings logged (F1 firmware loader HIGH; F2/F3/F4 reused-customer edges -> R-1/Peti;
F5 guest-RAM, F6 drive-init mount, F7 back-route). Full doc in documentation/tests/;
ROADMAP R-21 + REPORT + CONTEXT updated. No production code changed.
scripts/iso/: a DooPlex pipeline (build-felhom-iso.sh + Dockerfile.assistant) that
turns the official PVE ISO into a Felhom auto-install ISO whose first-boot stub
installs a retry-forever felhom-bootstrap unit which unattended-fetches
felhom-host-install.sh from the public felhom.eu/scripts channel and runs it until the
host is enrolled + a guest provisioned. host-install is UNMODIFIED (invoked only).
- build gates the answer on validate-answer OUTPUT text, never $? (spike S1 exit-0 trap)
- stub is from-iso, fully-up, exactly-once; retry unit owns all network work (S8a)
- retry-vs-resume encoded once: plain first, --resume when install state exists (v1.11.3)
- secret-bearing (embeds the retrieval passphrase): supervised/single-use; env shredded on success
Validated on VM 310: build gate + red-proof, disk-filter fail-safe, chain + retry,
resume-decision, exactly-once, no-net retry+recovery. Terminal host-install rc-0 success
operator-gated (drill customer needs the password-gated create-UI). scripts v1.16.0;
ROADMAP R-21 -> in-progress. Detail in REPORT.md.
Opened every citation in 00-capability-map.md and judged each of the 55 rows
against the specific scenario (not topic adjacency). 23 confirmed (incl. 5
MISSING proven-absent by code sweep), 26 citation-corrected, 6 demoted; no
upgrades. Status: 32 PROVEN-LIVE / 15 IMPLEMENTED / 3 PARTIAL / 5 MISSING
(was 38 PROVEN-LIVE).
Demotions PROVEN-LIVE->IMPLEMENTED: B6 (post-deploy config — T-PAGE-ALL is
render-only), E7 (FileBrowser access — no browse/download proof), F1 (health
email — cited P3-DELIVERY is the enlarge-block trigger), F4 (metrics — cited
legs are H1/H2 harness artifacts), F6 (operator alerting — no corpus doc),
G6 (offsite fill/staleness/freeze — no live-fired leg, freeze inconclusive).
Key corrections: D6 cited CAMPAIGN-3 F10/F11/F12 which are the CRITICAL
failures — fixes shipped agent v0.85 and were re-validated live in CAMPAIGN-4
/6A; C6 cited offbox-restic doc for a PBS-restore claim -> CAMPAIGN-2 T-P9;
C1/C5/B5 cited defect-discovery docs instead of the fix-validation legs.
Closed ROADMAP R-20: operator-key pinning is fully automatic in day-0
(felhom-host-install.sh step_agent_config, L2044/2146-2156/2332-2337).
Header draft caveat swapped for the verified stamp. Full per-row verdict
table in REPORT.md.
The ~215 lines flagged as "unknown uncommitted code" (hub/internal/notify/,
claim/engine.go, store.go) were in-flight files from a parallel CC session on
the customer-claim arc, snapshotted before it committed. All landed cleanly
(6b40eb8 v0.50.0, a1d0450 v0.54.0, e205a2d); v0.55.0 shipped. Tree is clean.

Closes the two deferred deep campaigns from 6D on live infra: tier-2 v2 layout
engine (A1-A4) and F7 atomic-write + restic C2 self-heal (B1-B4). No production
code shipped. Two LOW findings (F-6E-1 demo drive drift; T-6E-1 DB-dump dir-fsync
parity). Drill repo torn down; fixtures reverted; box healthy.

Reconciler observed waiting_secret across two reports (16:52+17:07 UTC), re-staged
the stored secret at 17:10:00 (no ep0 token, no gen bump); agent re-consumed
17:10:26 and converged (applied) 17:10:28 — no operator click. Demo host untouched
(scoped). Fleet widening remains a deliberate follow-up.

Deploy the PBS-DR self-heal reconciler scoped to the drill guest only for the
first supervised run; widen to the fleet (remove the env) in a follow-up sync
once the converged-host no-op is confirmed live.

Implements SPIKE-pbsdr-selfheal-2026-07-15 (e8f8c44). A box re-installed/rolled
back onto its stable host_id loses its agent-side converged marker; the hub
keeps the enabled descriptor + a CONSUMED one-time secret, the WG peer persists
(changed==false, cascade can't re-fire), so the agent sits in waiting_secret
forever. The missing piece is a consumable secret, not the descriptor.
New internal/pbsdrheal reconciler (5m, wgsync shape): for enabled+provisioned
hosts whose latest report pbs_dr.state is a stuck state past a >=2-distinct-report
debounce, re-stage the stored secret (store.RestageHostPBSSecret: clear
consumed_at, no ep0 call, NO generation bump); escalate to Re-issue (web
ReissuePBSDR) only when no secret is stored or the agent reports consumed_failed.
Converged/disabled/verify_failed/DR-OFF = no-op. PBSDRHEAL_ONLY_HOST scopes a
supervised rollout. Scenarios A-F + all six red-proofs verified. No agent change.

Refutes the surviving theory: on the drill host the pbs_dr descriptor is present
and enabled, the WG peer exists, verify passes — the block is a one-time secret
consumed 07-12 that no path re-mints after the agent loses its converged marker
(re-install/rollback; same WG pubkey -> changed==false -> cascade can't re-fire).
Live-proven: staging any consumable secret converges in one tick (existing token,
zero ep0 churn); re-asserting a converged descriptor is a clean idempotent no-op.
Safe re-trigger = re-serve a secret gated on agent waiting_secret/consumed_failed,
never blind-timer Reissue. Design-inputs table handed to the self-heal TASK spec.
Drill left CONVERGED (P-DAY0-DEEP PBS-DR leg now GREEN).

Fresh-appliance PBS-DR consume races the WG handshake at install (fingerprint probe timeout),
consumes nothing, and does not re-request the descriptor once the tunnel is up; reused-peer
re-provision never re-issues it. No operational re-trigger. Escrow ceremony + offsite round-trip
blocked on this fresh guest → friend-alpha alpha #1 escrow must be supervised live (customer-holds-R).
Drill deviation (CC-held R) never exercised. Recorded, not fixed inline.
