# CLOSED-ITEMS — finished work, compressed

> **What this is.** Every register row that reached a terminal state, compressed to its title, the
> version it shipped in, its evidence paths, and any sentence that states a RULE rather than a
> narrative. **Nothing was deleted:** each entry names the commit that holds its full original text,
> and `git show <commit>:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` returns it verbatim.
>
> **Why it exists (operator ruling, 2026-08-22).** `OPEN-ITEMS.md` had grown to 672 KB across 286
> entries, over half of it finished work, with one single entry at 16 KB. A file that cannot be read
> is a file that cannot be checked — and this project has already paid for that twice: a record
> nobody could find because it sat inside an entry about something else, and a finding rediscovered
> because nobody could see it. The register now holds **open work only**, so its size tracks the work
> rather than the project's age.
>
> **A sibling rather than the bottom of the register**, deliberately: appending to the same file keeps
> the byte count and the scroll, which is the thing being fixed.
>
> **Load-bearing reasoning was NOT compressed away.** Where a closed row states a rule, a fence or a
> deliberate refusal, that sentence is carried here verbatim under **Reasoning kept**. Rules that
> outlive their work item also live in their proper homes — `workspace-CLAUDE.md` standing rules,
> `felhom.eu/CLAUDE.md`, `CONTEXT.md`, and the architecture folder — and this file is not their
> primary record.
>
> **This file is not the register.** Nothing here is open. `OPEN-ITEMS.md` remains the single source
> of truth for open work; `scripts/one_register_gate.py` enforces that against `ROADMAP.md`.

## 2026-10-05 (afternoon) — a box that is not always on: the catch-up, the banner, the alarms; the OS update repairs itself after a power cut (controller v0.295.0, agent v0.145.0, hub v0.134.0, golden 0.295.0; rulings 109–111, CC decisions 112–118)

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-871** | **No architecture covered a box that is not always on, and a missed night was never made up.** Decision 109 (option A) built: controller v0.295.0 `internal/nightchain` — a ledger of when each backup leg ran to its end; on a start or a host resume ONE catch-up 15 min later, backup legs only, never the update leg; a late daily timer after a suspend is skipped; the whole-guest backup and the catch-up wait for each other; decision 110's banner. Design `07` §6.1.1. Live: 9202 (dump made 15 min after the start; after a crash mid-wait, all three legs at the next start), demo-felhom (dump 15 min after the start; the household's timeline line reached the hub); banner served on 9202 and closed by its real route. 13 red-proofs. **Reasoning kept: the ledger records that a leg RAN, and is never read as evidence that a backup EXISTS.** Full text: `git show 1b0678fa:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/partA/`, `partB/` |
| **R-873** | **A household whose box is off every night was mailed "cannot be reached" every night.** hub v0.134.0: at most once per 7 days to the household (persisted), the operator every edge, the recovery mail stays paired (decision 116). Proven by test through the real dispatcher (red-proof); no live occurrence in the session (Tester 2 stayed off). | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/partC/r873-red-proof.txt` |
| **R-874** | **A restore-test never ran on a box with short power-on sessions.** agent v0.145.0: first due-check 30 min after start (decision 117). Live on demo-felhom: start 07:38:46 UTC → `restore-test first evaluation after start (R-874)` at 08:08:46 → a due tier restored and passed in 29 s. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/partC/r874-*` |
| **R-875** | **A kept report's reason said "the agent stopped mid-pass" for a hub-away pass.** agent v0.145.0: "sent late — kept on the box until the hub could take it". Test + red-proof. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/partC/r875-red-proof.txt` |
| **R-876** | **After a power cut mid-update every later pass failed until a person ran `dpkg --configure -a`.** agent v0.145.0: dpkg's state = `--audit` AND the update journal in one call; repair on either; belt: repair + retry once when apt says "interrupted" (decision 118). Live (operator's go): crash at 07:56:03 UTC mid-unpack → back by itself → next pass `REPAIR configured=0 journal=1` → `DONE rc=0 upgraded=12`, no person, no mail; package list identical. **Reasoning kept: a check that reads one of two places dpkg keeps its state is a check that misses the other.** | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/partD/` |
| **R-877** | **The Tester 1 VM on demo-hp had no start-on-boot: the morning's demo-hp crash (06:14 UTC) left it off for 1 h 17 min, unnoticed** (the night-fixes report called every box healthy). Found 07:31 UTC; `qm set 341 --onboot 1`, started; the afternoon crash then brought it back by itself. Filed and closed in the same commit. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/catchup-2026-10-05/tester1/vm341-was-stopped.txt` |

## 2026-10-05 (day) — the night's fixes: off-site clean-up guard, first-install image race, R8 download, a killed pass's report (controller v0.294.0, agent v0.144.0 + v0.144.1, golden 0.294.0; rulings 100–103, CC decisions 104–108)

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-867** | **The off-site clean-up guard refused honest 7-day retention and mailed an error every window.** Controller v0.294.0: the guard's "young" line is keep-daily CALENDAR days, built from the same constants as the policy (decision 104); every other refusal kept. Tests run restic 0.14.0's policy itself (proven identical to the binary over 92 snapshots), 5 red-proofs. Live by hand: demo-felhom window 5 16 → 14, demo-hp window 6 145 → 127 — exactly the predicted snapshots; hub rows `pruned`, no event, no mail, key files clean. **Reasoning kept: a line that can sit inside the keep window is a line that refuses the honest case — derive it from the policy, never pick an age.** Full text: `git show 7221ee5c:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partA/` |
| **R-95** | **The box could delete its own off-site history.** Append-only key since 2026-10-03 (decisions 68–69); the last open item — a clean-up window that actually removes snapshots — was observed 2026-10-05 on both demo boxes (R-867's live windows, opened by the operator's one-shot grant; the dated check's four conditions all hold). The unattended weekly window is the same code path and is due ~2026-10-11/12; it is not separately re-checked (the DUE-CHECKS entry is removed with this row). Residual: R-822 (an add-only attacker steering older keeps). Full text: `git show 7221ee5c:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partA/`; `audits/offsite-lock-build-2026-10-03/` |
| **R-863** | **A new box's first app install could fail: the one-time image clean-up deleted the image compose had just pulled.** Controller v0.294.0: every compose command that can pull holds a shared lock (`dockerexec.BeginImageWork`); a clean-up pass takes it exclusively without waiting and otherwise does not run; the one-time pass is retried every 2 min and writes its marker only after a pass that ran (decision 105). Live on 9202: the clean-up fired at minute 3 (05:31:36 UTC) inside BookStack's 35.5 s install, skipped itself, BookStack installed first time; the retry at 05:33:36 ran and kept everything; teardown through the product. The update path was already guarded (`Updating`); restore/undo were exposed in principle and now hold the same lock. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partB/` |
| **R-864** | **A failed compose logged the head of stderr (pull progress) and cut the reason.** Controller v0.294.0 `tailStr` (rune-safe), pinned with the night's real first line. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partB/red-proofs.txt` |
| **R-869** | **The move-aside log line printed an empty destination.** Controller v0.294.0: assigned before the log line; test + red-proof. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partD/r869-red-proof.txt` |
| **R-865** | **R8 measured every download as 0 B (`--print-uris` with `-s` prints no URIs).** Agent v0.144.0: no `-s`; the fake answers like real apt (verbatim 9202 output), 2 tests, red-proof. Live: the installed wrapper's `download_bytes` on demo-hp read **12 802 456 B** for 13 pending upgrades (0 before), nothing installed. A live R8 REFUSAL line was not produced: it needs < 500 MB free on demo-hp's guest, i.e. 28.5 GB written into a thin pool with 18.7 GB free — it would have stopped every guest. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partC/` |
| **R-866** | **The debug OS pass could not run with the hub away.** Agent v0.144.0: the daemon saves the hub's block; the selftest falls back to it and says `block=SAVED(<time>; hub unreachable: …)` in its header (decision 107). Live on demo-felhom with the hub blackholed: pass ran (`nothing` ×3); its reports, kept on disk, reached the hub at the next agent start. | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partD/r866-*` |
| **R-868** | **An OS pass whose agent was killed installed but never reported.** Agent v0.144.0: the wrapper keeps its report beside the plan; the agent sends kept copies and deletes them (decision 106). **Measured live NOT to work** (05:45 UTC, demo-hp): the wrapper died on a broken stderr pipe before saving. Agent v0.144.1 (decision 108): the wrapper survives a dead reader; the agent looks again every 5 min. Live again (06:04 UTC, demo-hp, the A5 shape): wrapper `DONE upgraded=13`, copy kept, the hub got ONE `applied` report (13 packages) at 06:09:05 by the 5-minute look. **Reasoning kept: a root helper whose reader can die must never write unguarded to that reader — the log is not the outcome.** | CLOSED 2026-10-05 — FIXED | `audits/night-fixes-2026-10-05/partD/` |

## 2026-10-04 (night) — the config bundle, test approvals, the Docker-socket self-heal (agent v0.143.0, hub v0.133.0, controller v0.293.0, installer 1.31.0; rulings 96–99)

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-840** | **A new root wrapper or sudoers line could not reach an installed box — no product route.** Built (decision 96): the config bundle — every root-owned file the installer writes, one reproducible file beside the binary; a signed `agent_config_update` the box's `felhom-os-apply` verifies itself (signature against the root-owned signers file, sha, the 22-path table, every content check before the first write, self-check, undo); the trust root is never a bundle path; the installer installs the same bundle. Live: both demo boxes (bootstrap, then 0 written of 22, probe 71/71), a deliberate change and its undo on demo-hp, a wrong sha and a replay refused, the installer path on demo-felhom. **Reasoning kept: the route cannot reach a root side that predates it — the first bundle on such a box is one by-hand step, and that must be said, not hidden.** Tester 2's step → R-862. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — BUILT | `audits/r840-config-bundle-2026-10-04/partB/` |
| **R-859** | **An OS approval made under a TEST wait stayed in force after the test, and a real ring-1 box installed it** (Tester 2, 2026-10-04: 49 guest + 106 host packages). Hub v0.133.0: every approval under an override is marked; a start without the override cancels every unsuperseded test approval (no ring-1 plan, ring-1 boxes bumped, one operator event each); amber on the System page; one-time backfill of the automatic early approvals. Live: 4 cancelled at the 18:20 UTC start; the operator's Docker approval stays (CC decision, operator may reverse). | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `audits/r840-config-bundle-2026-10-04/partD/`; `runbooks/os-updates-test-waits.md` |
| **R-860** | **A re-created Docker socket file left the controller and traefik blind until a person acted** (generalises R-858). Measured: only a `docker.socket` restart re-creates the file; a dockerd crash or `systemctl restart docker` does not. Controller v0.293.0 (`internal/sockheal`): 60 s of refusals → the controller exits and Docker restarts it on the current socket; then it restarts any other socket user on an older inode (traefik). Live: 9202 healed in 104 s, demo-hp 9201 in 120 s, every container id unchanged. **Reasoning kept: count only refusals, never timeouts, and only after Docker answered once — or a slow daemon restarts the controller, and a broken socket loops it.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `audits/r840-config-bundle-2026-10-04/partE/` |

## 2026-10-04 (~18:30) — R-858 incident (agent v0.142.1, ruling 95)

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-858** | **A Docker engine step left `felhom-controller` and `traefik` on the OLD docker socket** (found by the operator: demo-felhom DOWN 14:18–15:57 UTC). live-restore kept them running with the deleted, bind-mounted socket file; their own health stayed "healthy", so the step passed. Repaired by restarting the two; agent v0.142.1 restarts ONLY the socket-mounting containers after a step and fails the health rule when the controller cannot reach Docker. Proven live twice on demo-hp (signed undo and forward): both restarted, guest / controller / traefik on the same socket inode, `applied, healthy`. **Reasoning kept: a container that bind-mounts a socket FILE does not follow a restarted daemon — live-restore makes this worse, not better. Check the consequence (the controller reaches Docker), not the mechanism (the container still runs).** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `audits/os-docker-crash-2026-10-04/partE-incident/` |

## 2026-10-04 (evening) — System page, Docker slow lane, crash guard (agent v0.142.0, hub v0.132.0, installer 1.30.0)

> Evidence: `audits/os-docker-crash-2026-10-04/`.

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-852** | **The operator could see no box's Debian, Proxmox, kernel or Docker version anywhere.** The box reports them (`system` stanza: Proxmox + kernel from the API, the wrapper's read-only `facts`); hub v0.132.0 shows them on the new **System** page (with the ring / switch / approve buttons) and a Proxmox / kernel column on Hosts. **Reasoning kept: a value the box could not read says `unknown`, amber, with the reason — never empty, never guessed.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED (`09` decision 89) | `partA/` |
| **R-835** | **Turning Docker's live-restore OFF by a restart stops every container and starts none.** Resolved by design (decision 87): live-restore is ON everywhere — the golden bakes it, installed boxes get it once by a RELOAD (measured: same ids on 9202 6/6, demo-hp 24/24, demo-felhom 5/5), and the wrapper refuses a Docker step while it is off (R15). **Rule kept: never turned off by a plain restart.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — RESOLVED BY DESIGN | `partB/b1..b4` |
| **R-848** | **A held host package was invisible to the hub.** The facts report `held`; the System page shows it amber. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partA/` |
| **R-849** | **The guest's "restart needed since" never cleared.** The wrapper scans the guest on every pass too (agent v0.142.0). | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partB/agent-redproofs.txt` |
| **R-851** | **A host that panicked stayed stopped (`kernel.panic = 0`).** The crash guard (decision 88): `kernel.panic = 10`; the 3rd unclean stop within 60 minutes leaves the box off; re-arms after 24 h or by `felhom-crash-guard rearm`. MEASURED on demo-hp: crash 1 and 2 restarted by themselves (54 s, 53 s), the guard tripped, crash 3 stayed off until the operator switched it on; the hub mailed the trip. **Reasoning kept: a crash, a power cut and a hard reset cannot be told apart on these boxes (pstore saved nothing for a real panic) — the guard counts every unclean stop.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partC/` |
| **R-854** | **The first Docker steps were stored as GUEST reports** — they ran (agent rc) before hub v0.132.0 was live, and the older hub maps an unknown layer to `guest`; the guest candidate briefly read 0 packages. One-time; a pass with the released agent re-reported both layers. Nothing to fix. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — ONE-TIME, NO ACTION | `partB/b5-*` |

## 2026-10-04 (afternoon) — OS updates, host fast lane + fleet view + alarms (agent v0.141.0/v0.141.1, hub v0.131.0/v0.131.1, controller v0.292.0)

> Evidence: `audits/os-host-lane-2026-10-04/`.

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-841** | **Every box reported its tunnel `inactive`** (the agent asked a host unit that does not exist). Agent v0.141.0 reads the guest's `cloudflared` container and controller v0.292.0's Docker health check on cloudflared's own `/ready` (200 only with a connection); three states `running` / `not_running` / `unknown`; hub v0.131.0 alarms `tunnel_down` after two `not_running` reports and `tunnel_recovered` on the next `running`. LIVE on demo-hp: port 7844 blocked → `tunnel_down` mailed after the 2nd report; unblocked → `tunnel_recovered`. **Reasoning kept: `unknown` never alarms; a container state alone says "up" for a dead tunnel (wrong token: running, `/ready` 503). A plain `docker stop` is healed by the controller's protected-container check within 5 min — before the 15-min host report sees it.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partA/` |
| **R-845** | **The OS leg was slow.** One `pct exec` per package (~0.9 s each) replaced by one call per layer; restart scan only after an install (host: every pass, v0.141.1); repair only when `dpkg --audit` reports. MEASURED: nothing to install, both layers — 23.3 s (demo-felhom), 31.5 s (demo-hp); before, guest only, nothing to install — 14.0 s; the 174–245 s passes of R-845 were passes WITH an install. A 108-package host install pass: 70 s. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partD/`, `partB/live/` |
| **R-846** | **Host "reboot needed" was wrong in agent v0.141.0** (found live on demo-felhom): the restart scan skipped every cgroup containing `lxc`, hiding `lxc-start` (`0::/lxc.monitor/<vmid>`, 20 deleted maps after libc6); and it scanned only after an install, so a reboot never cleared it (the hub's 14-day alarm would fire on a rebooted host). Agent v0.141.1 (`:/lxc/`, host scans every pass, `reboot_scanned`) + hub v0.131.1. Red-proved. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED | `partB/live-defects-redproofs.txt` |
| **R-850** | **Hub v0.131.0 put the layer into the release fingerprint**, so the unchanged guest set (272 packages) counted as new and waited its 24 h again. One-time; ring 1 kept the previous release meanwhile; approved again under the TEST wait (`os-guest-20261004-123933`).

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-842** | **The guest OS update had no automatic undo (no snapshot of a guest with host binds is possible).** Ruled option A (`09` §3 decision 81): the whole-guest backup, minutes old, restored by hand, is the undo. Nothing new built; a home-made LVM-thin snapshot rejected (unmeasured, thin-pool risk). | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — RULED (decision 81) | `audits/os-guest-lane-2026-10-04/partA/README.md` |

## 2026-10-04 (day) — OS updates, guest fast lane (agent v0.140.0, hub v0.130.0, controller v0.291.0)

> Evidence: `audits/os-guest-lane-2026-10-04/`.

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-837** | **The guest snapshot undo was unmeasured.** MEASURED: impossible — PVE refuses any non-`vzdump` snapshot of a guest with host-path binds (mp8/mp9), as the agent's token (which has the rights) and as root (`PVE/AbstractConfig.pm:755-757`). The automatic undo was not built (the brief's stop rule); the decision is R-842. **Rule kept: a guest with host binds has no PVE snapshot; the night's backup is its undo.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — MEASURED | `partA/README.md` |
| **R-838** | **The infrastructure images never moved** (cloudflared four months behind). Controller v0.291.0: traefik v3.7.13, cloudflared 2026.9.3, filebrowser 1.5.6-stable (release notes read; nothing we use breaks). A controller release DOES move all three (bring-up + start-up mount sync; measured on 9202 and both demo boxes, public gap ≤ 19.6 s); `scripts/check-infra-pins.py` + the runbook's "Infrastructure pins" section put them on the monthly re-test. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED controller v0.291.0 | `partF/` |
| **R-726** | **A returning household's new box made no off-site copy on night one.** Decision 78 built (controller v0.291.0): a claimed box that has never made an off-site copy sets the orphaned old copy aside and starts a new one; nothing deleted; a box that has made copies still asks. Red-proved both ways. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED controller v0.291.0 | `partE/r726-redproof.txt` |
| **R-843** | **`--selftest=wgtunnel` (since S3) and `--selftest=os-update` were dispatched but refused by the flag's allow-list.** Found live (the OS debug action could not run); both accepted in agent v0.140.0; `TestSelftestFlag_AcceptsEveryDispatchedMode` pins every dispatched mode. **Rule kept: a dispatch case without a flag case is dead code — the test reads both.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED agent v0.140.0 (opened and closed the same day) | `partC/agent-leg-redproofs.txt` |

Lab proof on a real restic 0.14.0 repo: 98 snapshots, plan 85, default cap 49 refused, raised 90 → 98 → 13, next window passes the default cap. | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED hub v0.129.0 | `partB/` (4 red-proofs, lab proof, live refusals) |

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|

Live: window 2 on demo-hp ran without refusal (outcome `nothing`, 127→127, the only candidates were young same-day copies). Weekly windows ON. **Reasoning kept: a guard that refuses the honest case is switched off within a fortnight — exclude the benign shape, keep refusing the poisoning shape.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — FIXED controller v0.290.0, live window without refusal; a window that removes something not yet observed (R-95) | `partA-live-window.txt`, `red-proofs-controller.txt` RPC1–2 |

Live on tester-1: the live repo named → refused; a planted set-aside dir deleted after the (test-shortened, logged, reverted) delay, read back absent. **Reasoning kept: the only deletion a broken-into box can trigger now waits a week under operator mails.** | CLOSED 2026-10-04 — BUILT hub v0.128.0 + controller v0.290.0, proven live | `partE-live-tester1.txt`, `red-proofs-hub.txt` RPH1–2, `red-proofs-controller.txt` RPC3 |

## 2026-10-03 (evening) — the off-site lock built (hub v0.127.0, controller v0.289.0/0.289.1, decisions 68–70)

> Evidence: `audits/offsite-lock-build-2026-10-03/`.

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-820** | **A box could obtain its sub-account password at will (the hub's self-heal re-armed it; the box consumed it) — and that password removes any append-only pin.** Fixed: the box sends only its PUBLIC key; the hub (key registrar) writes it pinned; `consume-password` answers 410. Measured live: demo-hp's own API key gets `410 gone`, no password. **Reasoning kept: a pinned key protects nothing while any route can rewrite `authorized_keys` — the hub is now that file's only writer, and it reads every file daily.** | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — FIXED hub v0.127.0 + controller v0.289.0/0.289.1, proven live on both demo boxes | `partD/no-password-for-box.txt`, `partB/red-proofs-hub.txt`; hub `internal/offsitekeys` |
| **R-821** | **The hub DB held every sub-account password in the clear.** Fixed: AES-256-GCM at rest under `OFFSITE_SECRET_KEY` (Secret/offsite-secret-key, out of git); the 4 legacy rows sealed at start-up (raw rows read back `enc:v1:`); no key → the hub refuses to store or use one. **Reasoning kept: the running hub still holds the key and can open the passwords — a hub compromise remains an off-site compromise; this closes the database-copy route only.** | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — FIXED hub v0.127.0, verified on the live DB | `partB/hub-rollout.txt`; `TestOffsiteSecret_*` |
| **R-342** | **ep0's server snapshot never covered `/mnt/pbs-datastore`.** Built (decision 70): nightly PBS pull-sync to DooPlex (`ep0-copy`), `remove-vanished false`, weekly verify, failures mailed (test mail received). First pull 201 s / 12 GB / 4 of 4 snapshots, matching ep0. ep0 changed by one read-only token only; reached through an SSH forward from DooPlex (operator ruling). **Reasoning kept: Hetzner cannot snapshot a Volume — the copy is the only safeguard; never prune it tighter than ep0.** | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — BUILT; restore route unwalked (R-830), growth unbounded (R-828) | `partF/`; `runbooks/ep0-datastore-copy.md` |
| **R-825** | **Controller v0.289.0 reported 0 off-site snapshots as MEASURED over a store holding 12 (demo-felhom), and the hub mailed `offsite_snapshots_dropped` 11→0 — a false alarm.** Cause: the provider's rclone prints a NOTICE line that restic forwards into the combined output; every `--json` parse failed. Fixed in v0.289.1 within 15 minutes: the notice is stripped, and an unreadable count is never a measured zero (keeps the last value, `stats_known=false`). **Reasoning kept: a failed measurement must never be written as a measurement (R-331) — the detector that caught it is the one it would have blinded.** | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — FIXED controller v0.289.1 (red-proved), found and fixed in-session | operator mail 2026-10-03 17:17 CEST; `partC/red-proofs-controller.txt` RPC4 |

## 2026-10-03 — off-site append-only, measured on the provider (R-436, R-430)

> Spike, no product change. Evidence and design: `audits/offsite-append-only-2026-10-03/`.

| Row | What | Closed | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-436** | **Hetzner's `--append-only` forced command holds for the key it is pinned to.** On `u629488-sub4` (tester-1's, operator-ruled venue; scratch repo `spike-r436`, removed): pinned key `command="rclone serve restic --stdio --append-only spike-r436",restrict` — `init`, two `backup`s, `snapshots`, `restore` (bytes identical), `check` OK; `forget d807418c --prune`, `forget --keep-last 1`, `prune` → `blob not removed, server response: 403 Forbidden (403)`, rc=1, count unchanged; control with an unpinned key: `1 / 1 files deleted`. The client's path and flags are ignored; no shell, sftp, scp, rsync or port forward (`administratively prohibited`). **Reasoning kept: the pin protects a repository only if no other route can rewrite `authorized_keys` — and the password can (R-820).** | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — MEASURED; the due-check (2026-10-06) is cleared by this measurement | `live/E1-E3-init-backup.txt`, `live/E4-E6-deletes-and-C1.txt`, `live/B2-forced-key-misuse.txt`, `live/TEARDOWN.txt` (authorized_keys restored, sha256 identical) |
| **R-430** | **`restic unlock` prints `successfully removed locks` after removing nothing — by design; and `unlock --remove-all` DOES work through the append-only key.** Measured live and in the lab: a crash lock (not yet stale: under 30 min, new hostname) survives plain `unlock`, which still prints success; `--remove-all` removes it because the rclone append-only server allows lock deletion. A crash lock blocks `check`, not `backup`. So `resticStep`'s self-heal stays valid under R-436's transport; the earlier sticky-directory model does not describe it. | CLOSED 2026-10-03 — ANSWERED; not a precondition for the rclone transport | `live/C2-A5-locks.txt`, `lab/A5-locks.txt` |

## 2026-09-17 — nothing decides by reading a Hungarian word (controller v0.251.0)

| Row | What | Closed | Full text |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-553** | **Five places decided behaviour by matching their own Hungarian wording (P3).** Closed in controller **v0.251.0** (`c00fed6` + `f806baf`): each producer attaches a signal and each decision reads it — deploy sentinels (`stacks.ErrRequiredField` / `ErrPathMissing` / `ErrNotEnoughMemory` / `ErrAlreadyDeployed` → `api.deployStatusFor`, 400/409), `backup.ErrOffsiteQuota` in `ClassifyOffsiteFailure`, `monitor.HealthReport.WarningKinds` for alert placement, `settings.OffboxTarget.LastWarningKind` for the stale off-site note. `util.KindErrorf` produces the same message bytes `fmt.Errorf` did while carrying the sentinel, so **not one Hungarian byte moved** (pinned per producer). The hub wire is unchanged: `report.HealthReport` still carries exactly `status, issues, warnings` — proven live and by test. Each site red-proofed by restoring its pre-fix predicate. **Reasoning kept:** a text signature is replaced by a signal only where WE produce the text — restic's and ssh's English output stays matched by text, because we neither write nor translate it. `audits/r553-2026-09-17/` | **CLOSED 2026-09-17 — PROVEN-LIVE (the 409 refusal and the page bytes; the 400 / quota / stale-note paths are red-proofed tests, not provoked on a live box)** | full text: `git show b408b28:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-563** | **The remote-backup page started its progress poll by reading its own Hungarian word „Fut" (P3).** Closed in controller **v0.251.0** (`f806baf`): the status element carries `data-status="{{.Offbox.LastStatus}}"` and the poll reads `v.dataset.status === 'running'`. The word became `{{T "backups_remote.fut"}}` (en „Running…"), so **the English page can finally see a running backup** — slice 1 had to leave that one word Hungarian for this reason. 12 parity fixtures re-captured; each differs from its predecessor by exactly the attribute and that poll line, the other 94 byte-identical. Red-proofed twice (poll back on the word; word back inline). `audits/r553-2026-09-17/site5-fixture-diff.txt` | **CLOSED 2026-09-17 — PROVEN-LIVE (the rendered attribute and poll line on demo-hp)** | full text: `git show b408b28:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

## 2026-09-17 — localisation slice 1: the whole dashboard in English (controller v0.248.0–v0.250.0)

| Row | What | Closed | Full text |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-556** | **Localisation slice 1 — the other 31 dashboard templates in English, Hungarian byte-identical (P3).** Closed in controller **v0.248.0** (`ff68b0b`, apps and settings), **v0.249.0** (`11b790e`, backups) and **v0.250.0** (`ac149c2` + `be2efe5`, storage, sharing, sign-in, claim, guest share, catch-all, debug, and the switch for everyone). Every page's parity fixtures were captured from its UNCONVERTED template before conversion (`6be55a0`, `f8ebc47`, `0555091`); 106 states. `TestI18nParityCoversEveryMarker` (every marker rendered by a case); English page mask narrowed to ≥ 2 words / ≥ 12 chars; retrieval-promise gate scans English; `executeTemplateLang` for the six pages outside the dashboard chrome (no session CSRF, no escrow reminder — `TestI18nDirectRenderPagesHaveNoAdminChrome`); `TestHandlerTitleKeysMatchHungarianTitle`. Decision 6 (switch hidden) superseded: the switch is on every dashboard page; the 89 layout fixtures re-captured and each equals its predecessor plus exactly one switch form. **Proven live on demo-hp 9201** for each release: Hungarian pages equal their previous-version fetch apart from live numbers (and, in C, the switch form); `POST /settings/language` made them English and back; the hub stored `hu`, `en`, `hu`. Startup parse: hu ~24–27 ms, en ~20–28 ms. **Reasoning kept:** a word a page COMPARES stays unconverted until the comparison is language-neutral (R-563); a fixture is never regenerated to make a conversion pass — the two re-captures in this slice (C's case titles, the switch) were captured from the tree that defines the truth and their diffs were proven to be exactly the intended change. Found: R-563, R-564, R-565, R-566, R-567, R-568; R-516 extended. `audits/i18n-slice1-2026-09-17/{A,B,C}/` | **CLOSED 2026-09-17 — PROVEN-LIVE** | full text: `git show bc15153:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

|---|---|---|---|
| **R-493** | [P1-HIGH] There are NO customer-facing install instructions, so a volunteer cannot begin — this blocks inviting anyone. | ISO 1.27.1 published + `felhom.eu/letoltes` live | 2026-09-15: round trip over `https://iso.felhom.eu` sha256 `25637007…c053`, 1 705 322 496 B; `felhom.eu/letoltes` 200 naming 1.27.1 (`documentation/tests/iso-release-1.27.1-2026-09-14/README.md`) |
| **R-495** | [P2-MEDIUM] The public installer asks a stranger four questions nothing answers, and REFUSES its own default on one of them. | answered by the guide; ISO 1.27.1 published 2026-09-15 | same as R-493 |
| **R-496** | [P2-MEDIUM] The box's console tells a stranger, in English and FIRST, to open the Proxmox admin page — and calls the owner passphrase „a jelszavadat”. | ISO 1.27.1 (console Felhom-only) published 2026-09-15 | same as R-493; G15 live proof on VM 332 |
| **R-512** | [P2-MEDIUM] Vaultwarden is installed with open registration, and the one control the page tells the customer to use to close it is read-only. | catalog template (no version change), 2026-09-15 | spike: stranger 400 / invite 200 / invited 200 (E1-vaultwarden-spike.txt); live on 9202 from the catalog: `SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false`, stranger 400 „Registration not allowed" (E1-vaultwarden-9202-live.txt) |
| **R-513** | [P1-HIGH — SECURITY] Every box's file manager (FileBrowser, `files.<domain>`, a launcher tile) accepts the login `admin` / `admin`, and on demo-hp that login page is on the public internet. | controller v0.243.0 | 9202 (default login): generated, stored encrypted, reveal 200 (16 chars), revealed=200 admin=401 wrong=401; 9201 (hand-set): recorded `operator` 08:52:10Z, untouched; public `files.enkisfelhom.hu` admin → 401 (B1/B4 files) |
| **R-514** | [P2-MEDIUM] Paperless-ngx dies silently when a family uploads 20 documents at once: its worker is OOM-killed inside the catalog's 768 MB cap, 11 uploads fail, 8 wait forever, and the app still reads „Fut". | catalog template: 1 worker × 1 thread, 1280M | live on 9202: 20 PDFs at once → 20/20 SUCCESS, memory.peak 772 370 432 B, no OOM (E2-paperless-9202-live.txt). The OOM-visibility half is NOT proven live → R-528 |
| **R-515** | [P3-LOW] The Paperless-ngx app page tells the customer to log in with `admin / admin`, and that login does not exist: the deploy form generates the admin password. | catalog template, 2026-09-15 | `default_creds` removed; first steps point at „Automatikusan generált értékek" (app-catalog commit e6aa443) |
| **R-517** | [P1-HIGH] After a failed off-site whole-system backup, „Biztonsági mentés" tells the customer the full backup is current and that a remote copy on separate hardware exists — neither is true. | controller v0.243.0 + agent v0.131.0 | live on 9201: per-tier rows „Helyi tároló (local) ✓ … Naprakész", „PBS ✓ … Naprakész", remote tick on a real PBS success (C4-backup-page-9201.txt). Found live and fixed after the release: an unknown size printed „0 B" → „–" (controller main d3eacbb, unreleased) |
| **R-523** | [P1-HIGH] If the controller container is killed, nothing restarts it: the household's dashboard is gone and no screen can bring it back — the big night's stop rule. | agent v0.131.0 + hub v0.114.0 (+ golden script `--restart always`, no bake) | measured first: kill leaves both `unless-stopped` and `always` exited (A1). Live on 9201: idle kill → dashboard 200 in 59 s; parked → stayed dead 100 s with the PARKED line, unpark → 200 in 25 s; kill during a swap → supervisor deferred ×3, swap rolled back itself; the crash-loop guard tripped for real after 3 test restarts and the hub mailed `controller_crashloop` (A4-* files). NOT measured: restart timing during a deploy (the budget was spent) → R-531 |

| **R-442** | **`remove_hdd_data: true` was INERT — the customer's data stayed on the drive while the API reported success (HTTP 200, `hdd_paths_removed: null`, 128 MB of Nextcloud left; demo-hp 2026-09-01).** Shipped in controller **v0.236.0** (2026-09-13). Removal resolved the drive from the GLOBAL `cfg.Paths.HDDPath` (no default, set on NO box — demo-hp AND demo-felhom both measured 0 `hdd_path` / 0 `FELHOM_PATHS_*`, so the fleet shares the shape); it now reads the app's OWN `app.yaml` `HDD_PATH` — the `07-backup-architecture.md` ~L437 rule that deploy, the start gate and the backup destination already implemented — and a data removal it cannot resolve, or whose drive is absent, is REFUSED (409, exact Hungarian sentence, typed `stacks.RemoveRefusedError`) BEFORE `compose down`, app kept. SSD app → `hdd_paths_removed: []`, never `null`, plus `hdd_note`. Missing folders stated in `hdd_paths_missing`. The backup-half refusal reaches the response (`backup_paths_refused`) and its base follows the same rule. **Reasoning kept:** *"declares no drive" ≠ "could not resolve the drive" — the first is a fact, the second a refusal*; *an app gone with its data left behind is unrecoverable from the UI — the customer cannot even re-run the removal*; *no fallback to the global — that silent fallback is the exact path this closes*. **Observation carried:** 8 of the 13 `needs_hdd` catalog apps bind ONLY `${USERDATA_PATH}` (the shared library) and no `${HDD_PATH}` folder, so for them "delete my data" correctly removes nothing on the drive and the modal shows no checkbox. | **CLOSED 2026-09-13 — shipped controller v0.236.0, proven live on demo-hp** | `audits/R442-2026-09-13/` — A: 63 MB written by Nextcloud ITSELF, gone after removal and listed with its size; C: 409 + sentence, all 69 files untouched, app still deployed, `[ERROR] … refused` logged; D: gokapi `[]` + note; ASCII controls (`llap`: C=2 A=0 D=0). 15 tests + two red-proofs in `felhom-controller/REPORT.md`.

| **R-449** | **UPDATE ARC SLICE 5 — an upgrade test that runs again. BUILT AND RUN 2026-09-06:** `app-catalog-felhom.eu/scripts/upgrade-test.py` + `upgrade_fixtures.py`, 7 edges across 3 apps, evidence in `audits/upgrade-spike-2026-09-06/`. **Reasoning kept — success is an APPLICATION-LEVEL READBACK, never file identity:** `survive2.py`'s sha256+inode rule is right for a redeploy and WRONG for an upgrade, because a migration is supposed to rewrite files and that rule would fail every correct upgrade. **Reasoning kept — nothing is ever seeded into a volume by hand (R-156);** an app with no non-browser route is recorded `inconclusive`, which is a result and not a licence to plant a file. **Reasoning kept — run the negative control FIRST:** C3's TO image exits immediately and came back `failed`; a harness that cannot fail a known-broken upgrade proves nothing with its greens. **WHAT IT MEASURED:** all five real catalog upgrades kept the customer's data; and **whether an upgrade can be undone is a property of the individual APP, not of upgrades** — docmost REFUSES (*"corrupted migrations: previously executed migration 20260213T085259-notifications is missing"*), privatebin does not, which independently reproduces the Nextcloud finding on a second app by a DIFFERENT mechanism and puts two measurements behind §4's ruling that "rollback" is the wrong word. **It also found a defect in our own catalog (R-459).** **What stays open, as its own rows rather than inside this one:** R-459 (the skipped MariaDB datadir upgrade), R-460 (bookstack's file half is unprovable headlessly), R-462 (the widening, costed).

| **R-438** | **The catalog sync rewrote a DEPLOYED app's `docker-compose.yml` and no architecture document recorded that it did. BOTH HALVES NOW DISCHARGED — the document was written 2026-09-02, the behaviour was changed in controller v0.235.0 (2026-09-06).** `Syncer.copyTemplates` copied into every stack folder on a 15-minute cycle with **no deployed check**, so a deployed app's file and its running containers disagreed from that moment, and the next `compose up -d` from any of thirteen call sites resolved the disagreement by upgrading — measured live: the sync rewrote the file at 17:45:17Z while the container went on running the old image, a restart then upgraded it in 18.3 s **with a pull**, and a boot reconciliation upgraded it **with nobody pressing anything**. **Reasoning kept — the distinction this row existed to protect:** `RestartStack`'s use of `up -d` to pick up template changes was **CHOSEN and written down in its own comment**, so reversing it was an operator DECISION, not a bug fix; that is why the row stayed open through v0.233.0 and v0.234.0 while only the documentation half was done. **Reasoning kept — one fear was measured SMALLER than stated:** a plain power cut does NOT upgrade anything, because Docker's `restart: unless-stopped` restores the containers on the old image and the reconciler logs `no boot-orphaned apps`; the unattended upgrade needs the narrower precondition *"and the app did not come back"*. Full original text: `git show bc47dd4ef997:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. | **CLOSED 2026-09-06 — documented 2026-09-02, behaviour changed in controller v0.235.0** | `audits/SPIKE-app-update-2026-09-01.md` §2, §3, §8; `architecture/09-update-architecture.md`; `tests/VALIDATION-update-slice3-2026-09-06.md` |
| **R-447** | **UPDATE ARC SLICE 3 — the live compose file is now DERIVED; the syncer renders instead of copying. SHIPPED controller v0.235.0 (2026-09-06).** The pin lives in `app.yaml` (`pinned_images`), the definition it came from is stored beside the app as `applied-compose.yml`, and `Syncer.renderSource` writes the catalog template verbatim while the catalog still offers the pinned version and the stored definition once it moves past it. **Reasoning kept — the ruling, in the operator's own words:** *while the catalog is offering the same version you are running, its fixes flow to you; the moment it moves to a newer version, you are frozen at what you have until you choose to update.* **Reasoning kept — why nothing was added to the thirteen `compose up -d` call sites:** most of them are REPAIRS (the boot reconciler, the drive-return gate, the app-stop guard), and **a repair path that refuses to repair leaves a customer's app down, which is worse than the problem**; they were made safe by removing the reason, not by gating them. **Reasoning kept — why the frozen branch writes a WHOLE file and never a substitution:** `wger 2.6` needs a full DB configuration the older template cannot supply, so an old image under a new template is a third state nobody chose. **Reasoning kept — why this is not "skip deployed apps" (option B, rejected):** that also stops health-check fixes, memory limits and new deploy fields, and destroys the self-healing measured live in the spike §3. **Reasoning kept — `pinned_images` is INTENT and `installed_images` is an OBSERVATION; never feed one from the other** (the R-166 category error, one field over).

| **R-441** | **The restore path and the catalog sync disagreed about the image, and the SYNC WON within 15 minutes. CLOSED controller v0.235.0 (2026-09-06).** `stackAdapter.RecreateStackDefinitionFromUnit` wrote the recovery unit's captured `docker-compose.yml` — carrying the OLD pin — into the live stack dir, and `Syncer.copyIfChanged` overwrote it from the catalog on the next tick, so a restore's image-level recovery had a **<=15-minute half-life**. The restore now PINS to what the unit captured and stores it as the applied definition, so the render obeys the restored file instead. **Reasoning kept:** the overwrite half was MEASURED live 2026-09-01 (`[INFO] [sync] Updated bentopdf/docker-compose.yml` at 18:10:29Z over a locally-modified file); the "the restore writes to that same path" half was READ, and this closure rests on the render behaviour being measured live rather than on the reading.

| **R-455** | **DooPlex had no Docker Hub login, and the unauthenticated ceiling blocked a BUILD rather than only a gate. CLOSED 2026-09-06 — a Docker Hub PAT was added to the credentials file (operator).** Measured 2026-09-02: `build.sh 0.233.0 --push` failed at `429 Too Many Requests` resolving `debian:bookworm-slim`, with neither base image in the local store. **Reasoning kept — the workaround and its verification, because the answer outlives the incident:** both bases were pulled from Google's official Docker Hub mirror (`mirror.gcr.io/library/...`) and retagged, and the identity claim was later MEASURED rather than assumed — `docker pull docker.io/library/<img>` answered `Status: Image is up to date` for both, i.e. Hub's own manifest resolved to the images already local, and the `docker manifest inspect` bodies were identical between the registries. **So the mirror is a verified-sound fallback if the PAT is ever unavailable.** Full original text: `git show bc47dd4ef997:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`. | **CLOSED 2026-09-06 — credential added by the operator** | `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` (2026-09-03) §5 |
| **R-429** | **CORRECTED 2026-09-01 — the snapshots ARE being taken; what was broken was that nobody could tell, and my own probe looked for the wrong name.** Viktor read the control panel on 2026-09-01: **seven automatic daily snapshots** on `storage-box-pool-1` (plan BX11), six days old to ~9 h old, filesystem ~2.5 GB, per-snapshot 0–14 MB, *Display snapshot directory* ON. **The mitigation works.** **MY ERROR, NAMED:** the 2026-09-01 spike probed for a directory called `.snapshots`; the vendor documents the path as **`/.zfs/snapshot`**. The probe's controls were sound and its subject was wrong, so `not found` was true and meant nothing. **The task that set the spike asserted the mechanism without citing the vendor documentation, and I did not check it** — that is how a correct instrument produced a wrong headline. **WHAT REMAINS TRUE, and is the actual finding:** the row claiming it had no R-number so nothing could cite it; its "confirm tomorrow" went **36 days** unanswered; and the `DUE-CHECKS` block built for that exact class (R-341) was **empty**. **The finding was never the snapshots. It was that nobody could tell.** Re-probed at the documented path — see R-432 for what a sub-account can actually reach. Evidence: `audits/SPIKE-r95-offsite-delete-2026-09-01.md` §Q1 and this row. | **CLOSED 2026-09-01 — mitigation CONFIRMED WORKING; the visibility gap is R-432** | panel read 2026-09-01 (Viktor); re-probe at `/.zfs/snapshot` in `audits/SPIKE-r95-offsite-delete-2026-09-01.md` |
| **R-431** | **An unexplained fall in a customer's off-site snapshot count is now noticed within a day — SHIPPED hub v0.111.0.** Third signal in `OffsiteChecker`, beside FILL and STALENESS. **It lives on the HUB deliberately:** the event being detected is a box deleting its own backups, so a detector on that box is one the same event can silence; the hub already receives the count and keeps the history. **Threshold: a fall of more than HALF the previous count and at least 5** — reasoned, not invented, because the measurement gave nothing to calibrate against: over 12 898 reports (2026-06-05 → 2026-09-01) every one of the nine decreases lands exactly on ZERO and every one predates `stats_known` (the R-331 shape), and in the 380-report window where `stats_known` is true there are **zero** decreases. Retention keeps 7 daily + 4 weekly + 6 monthly per group, so it **cannot halve a total**; a mass deletion goes to ~0. **Three pre-conditions, each with its scar:** `StatsKnown` (R-331 — a zero is not a zero when unmeasured), the declared `State` (R-204 — the box names its own situation), and run success (R-100 — presence is not success; `incomplete` excluded too). An untrustworthy report neither alarms nor moves the baseline. **ACCEPTANCE: 9 009 real report points replayed through the detector produced ZERO alarms**, fixture committed. Severity `error`, operator-only, no customer template. | **CLOSED 2026-09-01 — SHIPPED hub v0.111.0** | `hub/internal/monitor/offsite.go`; `offsite_r431_test.go` incl. 9 009-point real-history replay; hub v0.111.0 |
| **R-419** | **`observations_gate.py` accepted an observation whose body merely CONTAINED the string `NOT-A-FINDING`, even in prose disclaiming it.** Found by accident on 2026-09-01 when a planted test observation reading *"it carries no `FILED:` and no `NOT-A-FINDING:` marker"* was reported `OK  1. NOT-A-FINDING` and a real push went green over an unfiled finding. The gate's whole job is to force an explicit choice, and a sentence disclaiming the choice counted as making it. **FIXED 2026-09-01:** a marker must now start a line or follow a sentence boundary, and inline code spans are stripped before matching — a marker inside backticks is being talked about, never used. | **CLOSED — FIXED + PINNED** (2026-09-01, R-421 sweep) | verified in BOTH directions: the decoy and a backticked mention are convicted; a real `**FILED: R-419**` and a real `**NOT-A-FINDING: ...**` still pass. Decoy kept in `felhom.eu/scripts/test_gate_decoys.py` |
| **R-404** | **DECISION — should a documents-only push be subject to the golden-currency gate? RULED 2026-09-01: NEITHER option as framed. Block the push that can create the debt; notify the push that cannot.** The two options on the table were *narrow the gate* and *leave it and build a waiver*, and both were wrong for the same reason: they argued about the GATE, and the gate was never the problem. **The DIAGNOSIS, measured from live source, is that the check was aimed at the wrong repository.** `golden_currency_gate.py` never looks at the push at all — it compares the controller's newest CHANGELOG heading against this repo's bake evidence and returns the same verdict whatever you are pushing, which is correct for a standing invariant and wrong as a push gate. Meanwhile `controller_gates.py` had NO golden-currency entry, so **the repo where a release happens never checked, and the repo that cannot create the debt enforced it on every push.** 18 of the last 24 pushes here touched no code — MEASURED, and the classifier agrees exactly — most of them for a structural reason: the controller's code is in one repo and its register, architecture and status live in this one, so **every controller change produces a documents-only push here by construction.** Six of those 18 were bake records — **the push that PAYS the debt is itself documents-only, so the gate was blocking its own cure.** **WHY NOT THE WAIVER** the gate's own docstring prescribes: that clause was written for *a release nobody wants a golden for*. The case that actually occurred (R-417) was *a release we did want a golden for, on a night the runbook forbade baking*. A waiver would have recorded a lie. **SHIPPED:** `scripts/push_scope.py` (allow-list; every uncertainty answers `code`), a fifth `exemptible` field in `repo_gates.py` + `--scope`, a new **ADVISORY** verdict printed in its own block, the pre-push hook reading git's stdin, the same rule in CI from the push event payload, and `felhom-controller/controller/scripts/golden_notice.py` — a NON-BLOCKING notice at the moment a release is committed. **The gate's own logic, exit codes and wording are byte-identical**; only the consequence changed. The exemption is ONE gate wide and `TestR3`/Scenario C pins it, red-proved by widening it. Proven live on the real hook: docs+debt → ADVISORY, pushed; code+debt → refused; docs+debt+a second gate → refused for that gate alone | **CLOSED 2026-09-01** — ruled and shipped | full text and the ruling: `git show 1e6c387:documentation/backlog/CLOSED-ITEMS.md`; the diagnosis is in `CONTEXT.md` and `scripts/CHANGELOG.md`; `scripts/push_scope.py` + `test_repo_gates_scope.py` |
| **R-417** | **A drill night that forbids baking a golden made `golden_currency_gate.py` red, so pushing the drill's own evidence needed `--no-verify` — the very signal CI e-mails about.** Measured 2026-09-01: five consecutive felhom.eu CI runs red (jobs 469/470/471/473/476), all mine, all on step 3 `Run the gate entry point`; job 478 green the moment the golden-0.232.0 evidence was committed. Cause confirmed by isolation — moving that directory aside reproduces exit=1, restoring it gives exit=0. **The gate was right every time**: 0.231.0 and 0.232.0 were released with no golden carrying them. **CAUSE REMOVED, not worked around** (R-404): a drill's pushes are documents-only, so the conviction now prints as a loud ADVISORY and the push proceeds — in the hook AND in CI, so a drill night no longer produces red runs indistinguishable from real ones. The expectation is now written where the next drill author reads it (`documentation/runbooks/target-selection.md`), which is the half I had left out. | **CLOSED 2026-09-01** — by R-404 | five red CI jobs 469/470/471/473/476, green at 478; reproduced by isolation (`documentation/audits/AUDIT-gate-decoys-2026-09-01.md` records the technique) |
| **R-361** | **The pre-restore safety dump overwrote the app's own DB dump, and the comment beside it said it could not.** Shipped in controller v0.221.0 (+v0.221.1). Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r361-2026-08-22/evidence/`. **Reasoning kept:** *`DumpOne` writes `<stack>-<dbtype>.sql` — the app's canonical dump, the name the replay loop matches EXACTLY — so nothing else may ever be written to it.* The fix is a DESTINATION, not a rename: `DumpOneTo` takes the final path and derives its own `.tmp` from it, so neither the destination nor the scratch file can collide with a nightly dump running beside it. **`DumpOne`'s signature did not move** — it has callers outside this concern. **The manifest no longer lists the undo copies:** every consumer of `Manifest.DBDumps` was grepped and named — three, all inside `recovery_unit.go`, none reading it for recovery. **AND THAT CHANGE MADE ANOTHER UNREACHABLE:** a stable `db_dumps` let `CaptureRecoveryUnit`'s already-current early return fire, and the undo-copy prune sat after it — four copies on disk against a cap of three, counted live. The prune now runs ABOVE the check; it is housekeeping on the dump directory and is independent of whether the manifest needs rewriting. **PROVEN LIVE the only way it can be:** the canonical dump's sha256, unchanged across a restore — `docmost` `5d35678349bb…`, `bookstack` `7837aa5de295…`, both byte-identical before and after. A test asserting merely that the undo copy exists passes just as well when the app's backup was destroyed. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.221.1, 2026-08-23) | full text: `git show a8caa0fdde7c:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-379** | **The pre-restore undo copy was valid, was named to the customer, and no product action could apply it.** Shipped in controller v0.220.0 (+v0.220.1, v0.220.2). Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r379-rollback-2026-08-22/evidence/`. **Reasoning kept:** *R-379 and R-380 were ONE failure with ONE fix — both ended with a half-restored database and the only difference was whether it looked broken.* **The undo set is matched on THE RUN'S OWN STAMP, never on the `pre-restore-` prefix** (four copies coexisted on one app in one afternoon; a prefix match replays an arbitrary older state) **and never just the first file** (a two-database app would have had one restored and the other left half-written). **The rollback RE-DISCOVERS the container** — the undo file is stable, the container is not: the DB-only start re-creates it, and v0.220.0's own first live run held an app for 30 s of `waitDBReady` against a dead id while its data was recoverable. **No unit test saw that: they all inject the import seam and never look at container identity.** | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.220.1, 2026-08-22; docmost and bookstack both rolled back to byte-identical prior state) | full text: `git show 4e488321bfd1:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r379-rollback-2026-08-22/evidence/13-step2-verify.txt`. **Reasoning kept:** **no engine flag closes this** — `--single-transaction` was added to the Postgres import and does make it all-or-nothing, but **MariaDB's DDL is not transactional**, so a partial apply there is unavoidable at the engine. The flag is a belt; the rollback is the fix, and this row must not be read as saying otherwise.

| **R-381** | **The restore-failure message pasted raw engine stderr — including rows out of the customer's own database — into the Hungarian customer surface.** Shipped in controller v0.220.0. **Reasoning kept:** the full engine text now goes to the operator log, **which never had it before — the diagnostic was ADDED, not removed**. Measured: 407 bytes (Postgres) and 615 (MariaDB, whose middle was an `INSERT INTO migrations VALUES (…)` listing); now 257 bytes with no engine tokens. **A red-proof for this PASSED and the test was hollow**: it injected below `ImportDump`, so a leak reintroduced inside `ImportDump` could not fail it.

| **R-356** | **The off-site restore refused every app that has no data drive — it asked "does this app have an HDD path?" to answer "is this app installed?", and for 40 of 53 catalogue apps the honest answer to the first is permanently no.** Shipped in controller v0.219.0. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r356-hot-only-restore-2026-08-22/evidence/`. **Reasoning kept:** *the restore destination is resolved by the SAME rule as the capture destination — the drive if the app has one, the system data path otherwise (`Manager.GetAppDrivePath`, one expression). The refusal that protects a drive app from being restored onto the wrong disk applies to apps that HAVE a drive to get wrong.* **An app with no drive is not misconfigured** — `01-topology-and-trust.md` §8 carries the `[DESIGN]` marker; between 19 and 22 August that design was called a defect four times. **Deployment is asked of `ListDeployedStacks()` and FAILS CLOSED on a nil provider:** "cannot tell" must not become "go ahead" when the caller's next act is a write. **Two different failures get two different sentences** — installed-but-no-resolvable-data-root has its own refusal and its own route; widening `nincs telepítve` to cover it would send a customer to reinstall a running app and hide the real fault. **Measured, and load-bearing: 53 templates, 13 `needs_hdd: true`, 40 `false`** (catalogue @ `459766cb1639`). **The capture side's raw `GetStackHDDPath` is FENCED and was not changed** — capture resolves an app's declared `userdata`/`import` file legs against that value, and a system-data fallback there would write a snapshot claiming to hold files it does not. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.219.0, 2026-08-22; `privatebin` on `demo-hp`: planted, backed up, deleted, restored, 15/15 files byte-identical including two Hungarian accented names) | full text: `git show e18668f9e19f:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

The history of the over-claim is kept deliberately — it is why the row is worded as it is.)* **The over-claim, as it stood: the fix covered the DECLARATION half only.** Measured on the R-201 re-walk: the box declared, and **`offsiteheal` re-staged the secret at 11:44:57** saying *"the box re-consumes on its next cycle"* — **the next cycle came and went** (`host-report` 11:55:46, `Received report` 11:55:54, a full cycle **with a positive control that it ran**) **and the credential was still not consumed.** 23 minutes after the re-stage the box's last off-site-apply attempt was still the pre-re-stage one. A census of the customer-reachable actions on `/backups/remote` (`config`, `reset`, `run`, `toggle`) found **none that fetches a staged credential**, and the only lever is `systemctl restart felhom-controller-bootstrap.service` **inside the guest** — which worked in **18 s** (Campaign 11 measured 17), confirming nothing was wrong with the credential, the target or the key: **the only thing missing is anything at all to trigger a retry.** **This is the FIRST of the two dead ends that keep the recovery journey failing** | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

| **R-220** | **After a rebuild the customer's drives cannot be re-enrolled, and the refusal names an impossible action.** | **CLOSED 2026-08-06 — shipped in agent v0.127.0 and PROVEN LIVE on a genuinely rebuilt box.** The fix is **corroborated, not a widened prefix**: a mountpoint outside `/mnt/felhom-drives` is forgiven only when the SAME device is also mounted under the managed path — a pairing only Felhom's own enrolment produces, so a disk another system is using at `/srv/data` or even `/mnt/someone-elses-disk` is still refused (own test + red-proof). Read from `/proc/mounts` deliberately: the lsblk invocation is pinned verbatim in the sudoers file, so switching to plural `MOUNTPOINTS` would have shipped a sudoers change with the binary. Fail-safe: an unreadable mount table corroborates nothing. **Measured on the Part 4 venue after a real guest purge, with both raw mounts still present on the surviving host:** `/disks/candidates` returned both drives in `attach` and `initialize` (before the fix: two empty lists), and both **re-attached through the customer endpoint** (`registered: true`). The customer-facing refusal was corrected in controller v0.203.0. | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-221** | **A rebuilt box cannot run the escrow ceremony at all.** | **CLOSED 2026-08-08 — agent v0.128.0.** `Apply` re-asserts the seed BEFORE the idempotent early return; the return itself is kept and pinned by a zero-Proxmox-calls assertion. **The writer was established at `file:line` rather than assumed** — see the follow-through section below | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-223** | **The Day-0 manifest vouched agent 0.120.0 while the recovery feature needs 0.125.0 — and a reinstall DOWNGRADES a box that was fixed by hand.** Shipped in 0.120.0, 0.125.0, 0.192.0. | **CLOSED 2026-08-05.** Golden **0.201.0** baked in the drill VM (658 165 766 B, sha `e730d7cab343eb35…f007654`, **round-trip verified from Gitea**), then manifest set in one save: `agent=0.125.0 golden=0.201.0 min_agent=0.125.0`.

| **R-224** | **Every non-code failure on the unlock path is reported to the customer as a statement about their code.** **Reasoning kept:** **And R-216's gate cannot catch it**: the box's own ring reads `recovery capability gate: offsite_key_recovery=yes (source=version)` — the gate discriminates the agent's **age**, not its **reachability**, so a dead agent of the right version sails through the guard whose own comment says *"An attemp | **CLOSED 2026-08-06 — controller v0.202.0 + agent v0.126.0.** The discriminator is now a VALUE: `escrow.ErrBundleFetch` → **HTTP 502** at the agent, `agentapi.RecoveryRefusal` carrying the status at the controller, and `ClassifyRecoveryFailure` mapping it to one of five classes **from the value, never the text**. **PROVEN LIVE on the venue**, same wrong code, only the hub's reachability changed: `hub up → 400 "…did not open the sealed bundle"` · `hub REJECTed → 502 "…could not be fetched — the recovery code was NOT used"` · `hub restored → 400`. Red-proof: deleting the agent case reproduces `got 400, want 502` with the wrong-code sentence. **Coupled `MinAgent 0.126.0`** — an older agent answers 400 for both causes, so the reading is withheld and the 400 degrades to NEUTRAL; the gate blocks nothing. **The customer-facing messages were NOT re-driven end-to-end**: `/recovery` correctly redirects since F7 set the old data aside, and restoring that state is the reconfiguration §11 forbids — they are covered by handler tests + red-proofs | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

The fill bar renders only when the fill is known — a 0 %-wide bar is a picture of emptiness. **PROVEN LIVE both ways**: before a run the venue read „a pillanatképek száma még ismeretlen"; after one, „2 pillanatkép … / 50 GB". A measured zero still says zero | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-226** | **M1 — the only message that tells a customer to check their typing — is unreachable on any box that has re-escrowed.** | **CLOSED 2026-08-06 — controller v0.202.0.** The retained-package message now names **both** possibilities and restores the ten-words prompt, because the two are indistinguishable at the engine and saying so is the honest thing.

Installed-ness became a property OF a row, never a filter; an unreadable store renders as UNKNOWN **and keeps the action offered**; `felhom-offbox` and `_shares` are excluded. 7 new tests incl. a rendered-page test for the rebuilt shape, and a red-proof that keys the list back on installed-and-toggled apps. | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Measured after: trimming to 10+10 took the COLD load from 13.4 s to 5.4 s — a 2.5× improvement on the path the memo cannot help, because the fan-out is per-version.

Established with a test before any change: both the reconstitute and place handlers answered „…elindult" and **overwrote the first restore's op/stack**. The wizard had read the correct flag since v0.154.0 and said so in a comment; the handlers were never moved over. **(c)** The banner gated its terminal result on a page-local `sawRunning`, so a restore that finished before the page opened — the 8.666 s OpenGist restore — was shown to nobody. | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

| **R-355** | **`paperless-ngx`'s PostgreSQL is dumped into a directory for a stack that does not exist, so its unit has never contained a database dump — and the destructive restore therefore takes no safety dump and tells the customer the app has no database.** Shipped in 0.217.0, 0.218.0. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE 2026-08-22** (controller **v0.218.0**) | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-339** | **The hub was SILENT when it lost sight of the off-site stores — and a 9 h 37 m outage proved it.** **Reasoning kept:** That is **correct for a fill signal** — a missing reading must never be mistaken for 0%, which is why degraded data drives no band transition — but the consequence was that a completely dead off-site endpoint and a healthy one were **indistinguishable on the operator channel**. | **SHIPPED — hub v0.106.0, 2026-08-18.** Reachability is now a second, independent signal: consecutive failed fetch windows counted per checker, `pbsdr_box_unreachable` / `offsite_box_unreachable` (severity `warning`) past a default **3 windows (≈30–45 min)**, with paired `*_recovered` all-clears wired into `recoveredPairedDownTypes` — necessary because both recoveries are severity `info` and `severityNotifies` drops `info`. Threshold tunable via `alerting.box_unreachable_windows`. **The fill logic is untouched**: no threshold, throttle, band or escalate-once behaviour changed. Evidence: `internal/monitor/box_reachability_test.go` (Scenarios A–F) + `internal/notify/dispatcher_box_reachability_test.go` (the cross-package wiring, asserting an actual operator mail), plus three companion red-proofs each seen failing with a message naming the right cause | full text: `git show fddfe00ce268:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

| **R-383** | **The double-failure message told the customer their previous state was saved, and named a file that was not there.** Shipped in controller v0.222.0. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r384-dead-db-alarm-2026-08-23/`. **Reasoning kept:** *One of the two ways a rollback fails is that the undo copy is missing — so the sentence was most likely to be false in exactly the case it was printed.* **Do NOT simply drop the filename:** an operator needs it, and R-351's lesson is that a refusal naming nothing forces someone to remember what the product already knows — so the absent case still names WHERE the file should have been. **A zero-length dump counts as MISSING**, because a 0-byte file restores nothing and calling it present is the same false reassurance one step smaller. The check is `os.Stat` and deliberately not an integrity test: this runs at the end of a failed restore on a machine that may be unwell, and presence is the honest claim available there. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED** (controller v0.222.0, 2026-08-23; `undoCopyPhrase`, four cases, plus an AST seam test that the message is still wired to the builder) | full text: `git show 1eb64bec5183:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-384** | **An app whose DATABASE had died raised no dead-app alarm — the wrong question answered first.** Shipped in controller v0.222.0. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r384-dead-db-alarm-2026-08-23/`. **Reasoning kept:** *The defect was the ORDER of two questions, not the `unhealthy` exclusion.* "Is a SUPERVISED member dead?" and "is a RUNNING member failing its healthcheck?" are different questions, and the second was answering the first — a dying database drags its own front end `unhealthy`, so the symptom the fault causes was what suppressed the alarm for it. **`IsDownState` is byte-identical and `unhealthy` stays excluded** — an unhealthy container is RUNNING, and folding it in reintroduces the flapping that exclusion exists to stop; **no new state was minted**, `StateDegraded` already means this. **Two things had to move and either alone leaves the defect standing:** the hoist, AND widening "some members are up" from `running > 0` to *any member not in the down bucket* — the old guard made the R-51 block unreachable in precisely the case it was written for. **The register's own suggested fix was WRONG and is recorded as such:** it proposed a sustained-`unhealthy` threshold on the `crashLoopAfter` model; the actual defect needed no threshold at all. **PROVEN LIVE the only way it can be** — the same fixture that printed `0 currently down` on 2026-08-22 printed **`1 currently down`** on 2026-08-23, with `app_start_failed` 7 s after the stop and the banner reading *„…nem fut: BookStack (degraded)"*. Scenario D measured **0 alarms across 9 scans** through a full stop→start cycle. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.222.0, 2026-08-23) | full text: `git show 1eb64bec5183:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-329** | **`app_start_failed` was emitted with severity `"warn"`, so every one of them was delivered to nobody.** Shipped in controller v0.223.0 (+ hub v0.107.0). Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r329-r386-2026-08-23/`. **Reasoning kept:** *The vocabulary is EXACT and it is the HUB's, not ours* — `{info, warning, error, critical}`; anything else is coerced to `info` at ingest and dropped by `severityNotifies` before BOTH legs. **This was the SECOND occurrence** (`DiskAlertKind.Severity` until v0.215.0), and its comment had recorded the lesson — **a comment is not a guard**, so the guard is now an AST walk over the whole controller, with the six variable-passing call sites registered by name because a walk cannot follow a variable and *an unlisted limit is not a limit, it is a hole*. **The register's own framing was that the DECISION was the work** — should a stopped app mail the customer at all? Answered: **operator always, customer OFF by default**, because `processOperator` never consults customer preferences, so one word fixed the operator leg and left the customer leg exactly where the ruling wanted it. **Deliberately NOT added to `operatorOnlyEvents`** — that would make the new toggle visible, flickable and structurally incapable of delivering. **Measured on the live hub DB: 91 events stored all-time, ZERO notification rows before the fix; one operator row, `warning`/`sent`, after it.** | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.223.0 + hub v0.107.0, 2026-08-23) | full text: `git show 68a9f5475cd2:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-386** | **A single-container app stopped out of band raised no alarm, and a comment stated the opposite as settled fact.** Shipped in controller v0.223.0. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r329-r386-2026-08-23/`. **Reasoning kept:** *the state test was guessing at something the product already knows.* `DesiredState` records the customer's intent, has **exactly one writer**, and is tri-state; `StateExited` never survives aggregation, so no state test can separate an out-of-band stop from a customer stop. The ruling: `Stopped` → no alarm, `Running` → **alarm**, **absent → UNKNOWN, keep today's behaviour AND announce it**. *Reading unknown as "nobody asked" would, on the first cycle after upgrade, e-mail about every app any owner ever deliberately stopped — fleet-wide, from a field that predates the intent it is being asked about.* **A rule without a mechanism is a wish:** every such suppression sets `IntentUnknown` and the names are logged at INFO, so an operator can answer *"how many apps am I blind to?"*. **`failedRestart` must still lift a `Stopped` intent or F-CRIT-1 re-opens.** **Fenced act: adding a `DesiredState` WRITER** — twelve of `StopStack`'s fourteen callers are machines. Proven live: alarm 24 s after an out-of-band `docker compose stop`, heartbeat `1 currently down` against the previous day's `0`; and with intent removed, suppressed *plus* the log line naming the app. **0 of 8 deployed apps on `demo-hp` carry an absent intent.** | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.223.0, 2026-08-23) | full text: `git show 68a9f5475cd2:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-389** | **Only the FIRST broken app per hour reached the operator — the cooldown key named the event type, not the app.** Shipped in hub v0.108.0. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-cooldown-grain-2026-08-23/`. **Reasoning kept:** the fix is a THIRD SIBLING of `cooldownTierSuffix`/`cooldownRunSuffix`, separate for the reason the second one's docstring already gives — *the existing two keep byte-identical semantics for every type that uses them.* **`cooldownStackSuffix` takes the EVENT TYPE as well as the details, unlike its siblings, and that asymmetry is the whole safety property:** `tier` and `run_id` appear only on types that want that grain, `stack_name` does not. **`perAppCooldownEvents` is a named allow-list with `app_start_failed` and nothing else** — *the backup family's cooldown is coarse ON PURPOSE (R-97a, R-182) so one full disk sends one digest rather than one mail per app*, and this is not hypothetical: **`crossdrive_failed` is severity `error`, reaches the operator leg, and carries `stack_name` through a different struct**, so a payload-shape rule would have split it silently. **The fenced act is adding an entry for a type whose family has a digest or a coarse-by-design cooldown.** `app_start_failed` qualifies precisely because it has NO digest — there is no `apps_down_run` the way `backup_run_failures` summarises a run. **The hour is unchanged; the grain was the complaint.** Fail-soft: absent or malformed details degrade to the old key and the mail still goes. **PROVEN LIVE 2026-08-23:** two apps four minutes apart gave **2 sent / 0 suppressed** where the same shape gave 1 and 1 the day before, each repeat suppressed under its OWN key (`…:opengist`, `…:calibre-web`) against the previous day's shared `key=demo-hp:app_start_failed`; and `crossdrive_failed` for two different apps stayed **coarse** under `key=demo-hp:crossdrive_failed`, byte-identical to the derived v0.107.0 value. **AND IT WAS NEVER FILED UNTIL THE DAY IT WAS FIXED** — it lived in a REPORT.md observations paragraph, which is why gate 11 now exists. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (hub v0.108.0, 2026-08-23) | full text: `git show 45659bdc5a2f:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

| **R-359** | The off-site restic store was never verified by anything, ever | controller v0.227.0/v0.227.1 | `documentation/tests/r359-integrity-2026-08-30/` |
| **R-397** | `NotifyIntegrityOK`/`NotifyIntegrityFailed` had no caller, and the product advertised a weekly check that did not exist | controller v0.227.0 | `documentation/tests/r359-integrity-2026-08-30/` |

**R-398 is deliberately NOT a row here.** It was proposed for closure in the same pass and was **CORRECTED instead** — the premise was wrong, the seam already existed — so it stays in `OPEN-ITEMS.md` as the record. It is written as prose rather than a table row because a register row in both files is exactly what `closed_register_gate.py` convicts on.

**The rules these leave behind:**

- **The integrity check TAKES the single-writer flag and SKIPS rather than waits.** `resticStep`
  escalates to `unlock --remove-all` on a lock error and is only safe while every caller holds that
  mutex; a check without it can strip a LIVE prune's lock. Never remove that guard.
- **Due-ness, not a weekday.** R-341 is the other shape: a dated check quietly missed and never caught
  up. No `Weekly` primitive was added; a daily job that asks "is it due?" catches up after downtime.
- **"I could not look" is not "I looked and it is broken".** Skipped / unreachable / failed are three
  facts. A timeout is unreachable, never damage. A failure advances due-ness; a skip does not.
- **A success that mails nobody is a design choice, not a gap.** `backup_integrity_ok` is severity
  `info` and is dropped before both delivery legs. A weekly success e-mail is how alerts stop being read.
- **⚠ THE STRUCTURE CHECK DOES NOT CATCH SILENT CORRUPTION.** Measured: a pack corrupted without a size
  change returned `no errors were found`, exit 0. Only `--read-data*` caught it. An `ok` at the shipped
  depth means the index and the snapshot graph are sound — narrower than the word suggests. That is
  **R-399**, open.
- **A damage classifier must match PHRASES, not words.** `"pack "`, `"tree "` and `"snapshot "` all
  appear in restic's ORDINARY progress output; the first draft would have called a healthy run corrupt.
  The negative control caught it — which is why a control that has only seen the failing case is worth
  nothing.
- **The restic exec seam has always existed** (`SetOffboxRunner`). R-398 said otherwise and was wrong.

## 2026-08-30 — the restore tells the truth (controller v0.226.0) + R-395

Six rows closed. **Full original text: `git show e027b5d9 -- documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`.**
Compressed here to title, shipping version, evidence, and the sentences that state a RULE.

| ID | Title | Shipped | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-353** | A local unit restore reported a bare completion whether it returned an entire dataset or nothing | controller v0.226.0 | `documentation/audits/evidence-r353-r360-live-2026-08-30/live-validation.txt` — live sentence `A(z) opengist: 1 adatkötet visszaállítva — az alkalmazás újraindult.` |
| **R-357** | The destructive reconstitute had no free-space gate; all three that existed guarded non-destructive paths | controller v0.226.0 | seam tests only — **NOT live-validated**, by design |
| **R-358** | `OffboxFullScratchReady` asked "non-empty directory", which is what a failed restic run leaves | controller v0.226.0 | `documentation/audits/evidence-r353-r360-live-2026-08-30/live-validation.txt` — marker `{"schema":1,…,"full":false}`, gate logged place-to-live closed |
| **R-360** | The verification-copy delete gated on the concurrency flag, which a verification restore never holds | controller v0.226.0 | `documentation/audits/evidence-r353-r360-live-2026-08-30/live-validation.txt` — refused in the live flag state; planted canary survived |
| **R-396** | A unit-only verification restore unlocked the DESTRUCTIVE full restore | controller v0.226.0 | same evidence; found while answering R-358's open question |
| **R-395** | `STATUS.md` contradicted itself about the controller version | doc fix, same session | `STATUS.md` at `e027b5d9` |

**The rules these leave behind — the reason the rows are kept rather than deleted:**

- **A restore outcome is a claim about THE BACKUP, never about the app.** R-355 extended to the Tier-1
  path. The off-site twin has `SafetyDump` as an honest discriminator; the local path has none, so no
  claim about the app is available to it at all. Not merely unproven — unprovable from a manifest:
  §6.3 records that an absent dump has causes that say nothing about the app.
- **Zero-replayed has two causes and they are opposite news.** "The backup held no data" and "the
  backup listed data that did not come back" must never share a sentence.
- **The destructive reconstitute uses NO headroom margin**, matching `PlaceOffsiteRestore`. The ×1.1
  elsewhere exists because that gate PREDICTS a download; this one measures a tree that already exists.
- **Fail closed when a probe reads ≤ 0.** `free < need` with `need == 0` is FALSE, so an unmeasurable
  input sails through — a gate present and inert, which is worse than no gate because it reads as
  protection.
- **A hidden button is not a guard.** Template enable-flags control a button; the handler must refuse.
- **One boolean must not drive three intents** (R-396): `ScratchReady` answered "is there a scratch"
  while being consumed as "may we place" and "may we destructively restore".
- **Never restate a version in a second place on the same page** (R-395). Live versions belong in the
  hub, never in a doc.
- **A doc comment claiming a guard exists is why nobody looks for the missing guard** (R-360). Correct
  such a sentence in place; do not delete it.
| **R-399** | **How deep should the off-site integrity check go — Viktor ruled full depth.** Shipped in controller **v0.228.0**, 2026-08-31. Evidence: `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` (v0.228.0) — restic argv observed from the guest at both depths on `demo-hp`. **Reasoning kept:** *the structure check does not detect a size-preserving pack corruption — measured 2026-08-30, plain `restic check` reported `no errors were found` and exited 0 over a damaged pack that every read-data form caught. That is the reason for the default and it is what should stop anyone turning it back down to save four seconds.* *An empty value means "not configured", therefore the default; `off` is the off token, because a setting with no off switch is not a setting.* *A malformed value falls back to the DEFAULT, never to structure — falling back to structure would silently remove the protection on a typo, which is R-357's shape.* **Superseded by R-401** for anything about a large store.

| **R-400** | **A third of the debug page posted to endpoints that did not exist — and three of the seven fetched on page LOAD.** Shipped in controller **v0.228.0**, 2026-08-31. 24 referenced / 17 dispatched became 18 / 18. `backup/crossdrive` implemented (proven live: real Tier-2 copies for three apps); `backup/infra`, `hub/infra-push`, `dr/infra-status`, `storage/watchdog-status` and both `storage/simulate-*` deleted with their panels and JavaScript. **Reasoning kept:** *implement or delete FIRST, register the gate SECOND — a registered-but-failing gate refuses every push.* *Keep `handleDebugAPI`'s exact-match switch with its `NotFound` default; a prefix match would have made the defect invisible instead of merely silent.* *A panel left behind renders nothing forever, which is how this class hides.* *A debug control that simulates or mutates storage state is deleted unless a live need can be shown — that is where drives get unenrolled and data gets stranded.* Enforced by `controller/scripts/debug_route_gate.py`, both directions, red-proofed. Original text: `git show 300d7e8:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` | **CLOSED — SHIPPED** (controller v0.228.0, 2026-08-30) | controller v0.228.0; `controller/scripts/debug_route_gate.py` + its decoy in `test_gate_decoys.py` |
| **R-102** (was **C9-F4**) | **Tier-2 wrote a full `recovery-unit/` mirror on every run and no code path read it** - `RecoveryUnitPath` joined a hard-coded `backups/primary/`, so in the one failure Tier-2 exists for the surviving copy was unopenable. Shipped in controller **v0.229.0**: four unit-directory-relative path primitives in `appbackup`, `RestoreFromRecoveryUnitAt(stack, unitDir)`, `RestoreTier2Unit`. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r102-tier2-unit-2026-08-31/`. **Reasoning kept:** *THE SOURCE MOVES; THE DESTINATION DOES NOT* - `unitDir` changes only where a unit is READ from; data still lands in the live volumes and the live database container, resolved by `GetAppDrivePath` exactly as the capture is, because a restore that also relocated an app's data would be a migration wearing a restore's label. And: *a directory that exists is not a package* - the Tier-2 route refuses fail-closed unless the mirror carries a parseable manifest. | **CLOSED 2026-08-31 - controller v0.229.0, PROVEN-LIVE with the primary unit moved aside** (`07` §8 row 3b -> PROVEN, 28.65 s; row 4 stays PARTIAL - the drive-loss JOURNEY is still unexercised) | full text: `git show 1623a4d5b5d5:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-103** (was **C9-F1b**) | **The Tier-2 no-coverage refusal named the working action but did not route to it** - it sent the customer to a button on another page for data that R-102 made restorable on the page they were already looking at. Shipped in controller **v0.229.0**: `POST /backup/tier2/unit-restore` and „Teljes visszaállítás a másolatból” on the Tier-2 row. Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r102-tier2-unit-2026-08-31/`. **Reasoning kept:** *a destructive operation reached from a non-destructive surface must carry the difference in the CONFIRM, not in the label* - the two actions stay two buttons because they are two promises, and the confirm names the copy's date, differently when that date is only an attempt clock (R-101). And: *two questions, two predicates* - `CanRestore()` was NOT widened to cover the unit; one predicate answering two questions is R-356, which refused 40 running apps for months. And: `tier2UnitNotCoveredMsg` was NOT deleted, because it is appended where the FILE restore ran and is still exactly true of it. | **CLOSED 2026-08-31 - controller v0.229.0, PROVEN-LIVE** (the refusal now carries `tier2UnitAvailableMsg`, verified at the endpoint) | full text: `git show 1623a4d5b5d5:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Evidence: `tests/r87-offsite-proof-2026-08-31/`; reasoning: `audits/SPIKE-restic-restore-test-2026-08-31.md`. **Reasoning kept:** *The weekly check proves the stored bytes are the bytes we stored; it cannot tell us we stored the WRONG thing.* *The acceptance rule has TWO parts and the obvious one is a trap — "everything declared is present" passes a hollow unit, which is the shape it exists to catch.* *The expectation comes from INSIDE the unit, never the live box: the snapshot may predate the app's shape.* *The volume half is an EXISTENCE check and not a name match — the naming held on all eight real units, but "held on eight" is not "derivable" (R-355), and half a rule that is true beats a whole rule that is invented.* *THREE outcomes: pass, fail, and cannot-judge — collapsing the third hides a gap in one direction and alarms on our own blind spot in the other.* *It proves the snapshot CONTAINS a recoverable unit; it does NOT prove a restore puts data back into a running app — §8 matrix row 4 was deliberately NOT moved.* *The proof's scratch is a SEPARATE root because the job deletes on every path, and sharing the customer's root would mean a nightly job deleting a copy the customer is looking at.* | **CLOSED 2026-08-31 — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.231.0, hub v0.110.0) | full text: `git show 303129e:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-406** | **Two unrelated findings shared the identifier R-133.** Resolved 2026-09-01 by renumbering the hub-uniqueness finding to **R-415**. **Reasoning kept:** *citations were MEASURED before choosing — 3 for hub-uniqueness, 5 for the plaintext break-glass credential — and the FEWER-cited one moved*; *this is the opposite of the task's literal instruction, whose stated ground ("the older number has the longer reference trail") the measurement contradicts; the principle was followed and the letter was not*; *the within-register duplicate rule was deliberately NOT added in the commit that removed its only subject — a guard whose red-proof can only be a planted fixture is not this project's standard (R-416)*. | **CLOSED — RENUMBERED** (2026-09-01) | full text: `git show 22e1c95:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-410** | **`golden_currency_gate.py` was satisfied by a DIRECTORY NAME — `mkdir` turned it green with no bake behind it.** Shipped in `felhom.eu`, 2026-09-01. **Reasoning kept:** *a directory name is a label; `GOLDEN_SHA256=<64 hex>` is a fact only a completed publish produces*; *the self-test ships a POSITIVE CONTROL, without which "it fails on an empty directory" would be satisfied by a gate that fails on everything*; *directories that look right and hold nothing are printed by name rather than silently ignored, so a half-finished bake is visible*. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED** (`felhom.eu`, 2026-09-01) | full text: `git show 22e1c95:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Evidence: `audits/R411-R414-2026-09-01/`, determination in `00-part2.1-determination.md`. **Reasoning kept:** *the scratch resolver was consciously OUT OF SCOPE for R-356, not excluded — its own tests say "the scratch still resolves … only the DESTINATION moves"*; *the fallback is SCOPED because the two callers ask different questions, and one predicate answering both is the R-356 defect itself* — unit-only may fall back (§7: a driveless app's unit already lives on the system data path, *"intended, not a defect"*), a full restore may not (§2.2: state-only tier); *absence on `last_proof_result` already means "controller too old", so a second meaning on one field is the `StatsKnown` trap one level up*; *a `cannot_run` is recorded but does NOT advance per-snapshot due-ness, or the app would never be retried once a drive is registered*. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** (controller v0.232.0, 2026-09-01) | full text: `git show 22e1c95:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-407** | **`restic check` DOES write a lock file, and the comment above it said it never writes.** Corrected in controller **v0.232.0**. **Reasoning kept:** *corrected in place, not deleted — R-360's rule is that a comment claiming a guard is why nobody looks for the missing one*; *the same paragraph now carries the fact that `restic stats` also takes a lock*. | **CLOSED — CORRECTED IN PLACE** (controller v0.232.0, 2026-09-01) | full text: `git show 22e1c95:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-408** | **`RestoreOffboxScratch` took no single-writer flag while a comment asserted every off-site operation did.** Shipped in controller **v0.232.0**. **Reasoning kept:** *the real deliverable is the WALK, not the acquire* — the sentence was false for months and nothing checked it, the ninth instance of this project's most-repeated class; *it is an AST pass and not `strings.Contains`, because a commented-out call still contains the string*; *adding a line to `offsiteExempt` is a deliberate act and belongs in the commit that adds it*; *the R-87 proof's exemption is kept HONEST by a second test that fails if that path ever gains `unlockStale`, routes through `resticStep`, or loses `--no-lock`*. | **CLOSED — SHIPPED** (controller v0.232.0, 2026-09-01) | full text: `git show 22e1c95:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Evidence: `audits/DRILL-r403-tier2-delete-2026-08-31/`. **Reasoning kept:** *hollowness is a MANIFEST question, never a size question* - a unit with a fat compose capture and no dumps is the dangerous shape and a 360-byte unit for a tiny app is healthy; absent or unparseable manifest counts as hollow, fail closed. *The guard fences ONE shape and not shrinking* - `07` §8 row 5's derived-copy rebuild is a DESIGN DECISION, `--delete` stays, the data legs are untouched, and only source-hollow-over-destination-complete is refused (§8.2 records the exception beside the rule so nobody 'fixes' it back). *The rehydrate happens INSIDE the restore* - the hollow manifest was written two seconds later by the 5-minute capture job, so any follow-up job races it; and *the capture is deliberately NOT guarded*, because a capture describing an empty drive as empty is correct and guarding it would make the manifest lie. *A warning that fires on everything costs the same as the comforting lie it replaces* - the first draft flagged 'package older than the run', which is true of every healthy app, and four healthy apps on the box would have been warned. | **CLOSED 2026-08-31 - controller v0.230.0, PROVEN-LIVE both ways** (the loss reproduced on v0.229.0, then the same state preserved on v0.230.0 with all 7 files sha256-identical) | full text: `git show 66156c619fd2:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |

Five of six fall back before the value matters: `report/builder.go:69` and `monitor/healthcheck.go:35` take `storagePaths[0]`; `web/server.go:740` (`primaryHDDPath`) takes the default storage path; `main.go:511` (metrics) takes the default storage path; `main.go:347` passes it only as the auto-discovery FALLBACK, and discovery seeds from the apps. **One is inert AND unreachable:** `api/router.go:981` (`systemInfo`, `GET /api/system/info`) reads the empty value with no fallback (`hdd_configured:false` forever) — and the endpoint itself is shadowed: the web layer's `ServeSystemAPI` claims `/api/system/*` and answers **404 „ismeretlen végpont"** for everything but the two memory routes (measured live). Its only consumer is the monitoring page's memory-distribution card, which therefore never renders — split out as **R-490**.

## 2026-09-23 — the household is told when an update is undone or held (controller v0.264.0, hub v0.120.0)

| Row | What | Closed | Full text |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-606** | **Every sentence the update path shows a household was Hungarian-only (P2).** Closed in controller **v0.264.0** (`bc27894`): `UpdateError` is stored as a key + args; phase labels, refusals, failure lines, the undone line, the hold sentence and its prefix and `UpdateCopyHolds` render in the reader's language on both pages and in `GET /api/stacks/<n>`; the stored Hungarian is byte-identical (parity gate green).

## 2026-09-23 (evening) — clean-up: R-634's cause, held apps, the OOM storm (controller v0.265.0, hub v0.121.0)

| Row | What | Closed | Full text |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-634** | **An app could RUN while the controller recorded it as not deployed (P1).** The unremovable half closed in v0.262.0; **the mechanism** is now diagnosed and fixed in **v0.265.0** (`0054d4b`): the whole-box backup's app list read the in-memory `Deployed` flag, true from the moment a deploy is accepted, so the volume leg stopped a DEPLOYING app (`compose down`), dumped half-made volumes and ran a second `compose up -d` beside the deploy's own — both failed and the deploy recorded „not deployed" (reproduced on demand on 9202, `audits/cleanup-2026-09-23/12-*`, `13-*`). Fix: deploying apps leave every backup list; the volume leg re-asks before the stop; `StopStack`/`StartStack` refuse a deploying stack for every caller. `sparkyfitness` did not reproduce alone. The deploy's own-failure question → **R-649**. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE (`32-*`, `33-*`: backup across a live deploy stopped three other apps and never outline; deploy `deployed`)** | `git show HEAD~1:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-625** | **A held app invited an update its button refused (P2).** v0.265.0: badge „Megállítva — visszaállítás szükséges" / "Stopped — restore needed" (`tag-error`, title = the hold's first sentence per reader), no Update button, 409 `held` unchanged. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE (`44-*`, all four box/reader language pairs)** | as above |
| **R-636** | **Six hours of OOM kills sent the same single warning as one hiccup (P2).** v0.265.0 + hub v0.121.0: the kernel `oom_kill` counter (the `OOMKilled` flag is sticky and cannot count); ≥ 20 kills in 30 min of one container run → ONE `app_oom_storm` (error, operator-only, per-app cooldown). | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE on the controller (`45-*`, `46-*`: RomM at 320M, storm at 21 kills, still one at 49); hub side by unit tests** | as above |
| **R-647** | **Three leftovers of the update mail (P3).** v0.265.0: a held update's error is the key `update.error.held`, rendered per reader on both pages and the API; `copy_holds` travels as its key; the two log wordings fixed. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE for (1) (`43-*`, `44-*`); (2)(3) by red-proofed tests** | as above |
| **R-648** | **The drill's „Mentés most" was whole-box (P3).** No per-app backup endpoint exists; the harness (`audits/cleanup-2026-09-23/walk.py` `backup_now`) now presses nothing and the guarded update's own `backing-up` phase backs up the throwaway app alone. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE (`43-*`: phase `backing-up` for vikunja only)** | as above |
| **R-649** | **A failed install could leave containers under „not deployed" (P2).** Operator ruling 2026-09-23 (option a): the controller cleans up. Closed in **v0.266.0** (`964ae75`): `runComposeDeploy`'s failure branch runs `compose down` (volumes kept) before the record reads not-deployed. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — PROVEN-LIVE (`audits/r649-2026-09-23/`: outline with a never-healthy redis — 0 containers left, 3 volumes kept)** | `git show HEAD~1:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-650** | **A controller unit test could act on DooPlex's production Docker (P3 → raised to P2 by the night brief).** Closed in **v0.267.0** (`80e6ad8c4772`): `internal/dockerexec` — every docker exec goes through it; under `go test` a real docker is refused with an error naming the command (opt-in `FELHOM_TEST_REAL_DOCKER=1`; a stub under the temp dir allowed). The sweep found 8 `api` tests and the `web`/`stacks`/`backup`/`appexport`/`system` fixtures reaching the real daemon (one `docker-compose down`); `api`/`stacks`/`web` now run under a silent stub. `TestR650_NoBareDockerExec` pins the invariant. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — red-proofed twice (guard off → the decoy runs; a bare call → the sweep names it)** | `audits/night-2026-09-23/A1-*` |
| **R-640** | **A truncated PostgreSQL copy loaded with rc 0 into an empty database (P2, narrowed to the restore paths).** Closed in **v0.267.0**: `appbackup.CheckDumpComplete` (the engine's end marker); the unit restore and the off-site restore refuse before the first mutation, every replay checks again before any load. **Rule:** a dump is judged by its END — the header and a `CREATE TABLE` say nothing about whether it finished. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — three red-proofs + PROVEN-LIVE on 9202 (the household's restore button refused a half-length docmost copy; containers untouched; the whole copy then restored)** | `audits/night-2026-09-23/A2-*`, `E1-r640-live.*` |
| **R-499** | **Every driveless app was told its data was „already in the full system backup (PBS)" (P2).** Closed in **v0.267.0**: the Tier-2 page's sentence has four branches from the box's own whole-system backup target (own drive / same disk / drive gone / cannot ask); „(PBS)" and „nincs külön teendő" only where true. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — two red-proofs; live on 9202 (the `unknown` branch, hu + en, matching `/api/storage/backup-target`)** | `audits/night-2026-09-23/A4-*`, `A7-*` |
| **R-626** | **A removed app came back (P2).** Measured on v0.266.0, NOT reproduced: navidrome removed through the product, 390 s of `docker events` (the remove's destroy seen, no create), a controller restart at +150 s, a guest reboot after → no container, no volume. The two known creators (the restore/remove race R-633, the backup/deploy race R-634) are fixed. **Rule kept from the row:** a check that runs once, immediately, cannot see a thing created just after it — watch a window. Leftover found and filed: R-651. | **CLOSED 2026-09-23 — by measurement (a positive observable: the destroy events)** | `audits/night-2026-09-23/A3-*` |

## 2026-09-24 — the undo after a restore, the held app's page, the ladder (controller v0.268.0, hub v0.122.0, catalog `5ed599c`)

| Row | What | Closed | Full text |
|---|---|---|---|
| **R-658** | **After a restore, the undo copied NOTHING (P1).** v0.268.0 (`206b035`): the undo selects volumes from the rendered compose file (`DeclaredVolumeNames`: `name:` else `<project>_<key>`, each checked to exist); the label is a logged cross-check. The unit restore creates volumes WITH compose's project/volume/version labels (never a guessed config-hash); the remove counts unlabelled declared volumes. Live on 9202: restored under v0.267.0 → labels `null`; on v0.268.0 a failing update copied both by name and seeds A and B (B written after the restore) read back; a v0.268.0 restore → labels present, no compose warning. **Rule:** never select an app's volumes by the compose label. | v0.268.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-659** | **A held app's page named a way back the restore refused (P1).** Operator ruling 2026-09-24 (`09` §3 decision 25, option A). v0.268.0 + hub v0.122.0: the hold names the newest WHOLE copy (`WholeOnTier` asks the refusal's own predicate); with none, `hold.update.no_whole_copy` in the household's language, no Mentések button, and `app_hold_no_whole_copy` (critical, operator-only). Live on 9202: round 11 reproduced (nextcloud, cut-off undo copy) — both languages, no button on either page, the event's R-620 line. **Rule:** a sentence may name a copy as a way back only when the restore for that copy would accept it. Left open beside it: R-661, R-666. | v0.268.0 / hub v0.122.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-660** | **A held app also raised `app_start_failed` (P3).** v0.268.0: a fourth suppression set at `classifyRunStates` — the update-held apps (`backup.UpdateHeldStacks`; a RESTORE hold is not in it). Live: after the hold no `app_start_failed` in ~12 min of scans, while a throwaway stopped out of band raised exactly one. | v0.268.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-651** | **A removed app left `applied-compose.yml` and `applied-meta/` (P3).** v0.268.0: remove deletes both (the catalog mirror and `hold-logs/` stay — the latter is evidence). Live: present before, gone after, on nextcloud and vikunja. | v0.268.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-653** | **The memory watch wrote `proven` over a watch whose load never reached the app (P3).** Catalog `5ed599c`: `load_verdict` — `reached` only when at least half the requests got an HTTP answer, else the edge is `inconclusive`. Unit-tested and red-proofed; no bench run this session. | catalog, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-656** | **The bench re-used an app's scratch drive folder (P3).** Catalog `5ed599c`: `clear_scratch_folders` removes the app's own `${HDD_PATH}`/`${USERDATA_PATH}`/`${IMPORT_PATH}` bind folders before FROM and says so; never a bare root, never outside. Unit-tested and red-proofed; no bench run this session. | catalog, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-40** | **The update path could not express a multi-hop upgrade (P2).** Superseded by `09` §3 decisions 13–14 and shipped as §6.4 part 5 (v0.268.0): the catalog records every tested step with its own definition, and one press climbs one. **Rule kept:** a hop exists for a box only when the catalog holds it as a TESTED step — a >1-major catalog move without its intermediate steps is still a jump for a box below it. | v0.268.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 500488cad673:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-663** | **Two catalog test suites had been red since the night of 2026-09-23 (P3).** Filed and fixed the same session: `test_gate_decoys.py` (kimai-db 11.6 → 11.8) and `test_ladder_writer.py` (navidrome 0.64.0 → 0.64.1) typed the live pins as literals; they now READ them. 84 decoy cases OK. **Rule:** a fixture that names a live pin reads it; the catalog moves under it every night. | catalog `5ed599c`, 2026-09-24 | this entry |
| **R-661** | **A file app could not come back WHOLE from the second drive (decision 26).** v0.269.0 `backup.RestoreTier2Whole`: the mirror's files by four rules (never delete; never write an older file over a newer one; bring back every missing one; an older, different live file is replaced and KEPT beside as `<name>.felhom-<UTC>`), then the unit from the mirror; refuses before anything moves without a proven, openable mirror with file legs or 2 GB free. Live on 9202: restored 1, kept-newer 1, unchanged 137, 3/3 volumes + 1/1 db in 38 s; again from a hold naming the second drive; again after a power cut mid-update (chaos round 3) and with the disk 1 GB above the floor (round 11). **Rule:** a restore never deletes a user file and never writes an older file over a newer one; `rsyncMirror` (`--delete`) is never reused for a restore. | v0.269.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/A1/`, `E/round-03.json`, `E/round-11.json` |
| **R-662** | **A dead „database and settings only" second step lingered in the second drive's restore (P3).** Removed in v0.269.0 (decision 25 ruled that restore out); `accept_missing_files` is read by no handler now — only `RestoreTier2Whole` passes it internally. | v0.269.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md` |
| **R-664** | **A ladder step had no `.felhom.yml` of its own (P3).** Catalog `cf7cf84`: `steps/<StepKey>.felhom.yml` beside each step's compose, written by `--write-ladder`, refused absent by `check-test-record.py` rule 4b, 8 backfilled; controller v0.269.0 reads the step's own file for the probe, the memory request and the applied record. | v0.269.0 + catalog cf7cf84, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/redproofs/A4-*` |
| **R-665** | **The update judged the new version with the stack dir's `.felhom.yml`, which a restore rewrites (P3).** v0.269.0 journals the new version's own file (`entry.NewMeta`) and `verifyAndConclude` loads exactly it. Live (Part C): wishlist, navidrome and romm steps judged by their own files. | v0.269.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/redproofs/A4-r665-r664.txt` |
| **R-666** | **While support is informed, Remove offered to delete the data (decision 27).** v0.269.0: the dialog reads `keep_data_only` and offers only „remove the app, keep my data"; the API refuses data or backup deletion with 409 (hu + en); the no-whole-copy sentence is informal. Live on 9202 (a one-drive hold). | v0.269.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/A2/10-held-no-copy-keep-data.*` |
| **R-667** | **A crash loop never reached the alarm, and nothing stopped it (decision 28).** v0.269.0 + hub v0.123.0: ≥ 6 restarts in 10 min (`RestartCount`, not the resettable `restarting_since`) or an OOM storm → the box stops the app, holds it (`unhealthy_stop`), tells household + operator (`app_stopped_unhealthy`); Start = one more try; a repeat in 24 h says support is informed. Live: gokapi trip 1 and 2; chaos rounds 1, 7, 8, 12. **Rule:** Docker's back-off caps a steady loop at ~1 restart/min, so a threshold must be below 10 per 10 min. | v0.269.0 / hub v0.123.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/A3/`, `08` §6.2 |
| **R-668** | **The Tier-2 copy chose a registered path that no longer existed, on the app's own disk (P2).** v0.269.0: the same-disk check fails CLOSED. Live: the next copy went to the SSD. Residual: an older same-disk record counts until the next Tier-2 run replaces it. | v0.269.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 4502af6bb109:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-24/A1/01-find-mirror.txt` |
| **R-669** | **After a failed update ended in a restore, the box kept the FAILED step's health check as the pinned version's, and the next undo held the app for nothing (P2).** v0.270.0: the recovery unit captures the pinned version's `.felhom.yml` (`applied-meta`), not the stack dir's file the sync may already have replaced; a restore makes the restored file the applied record. Live on 9202: the sync wrote the bad probe at 14:57:46, the unit captured at 14:57:55 kept the good one; a second-drive restore turned stack 8999 / applied 3000 into 3000 / 3000, the applied record rewritten at the restore. **Rule:** a copy of an app's definition carries the PINNED version's health check, never the catalog's newest. | v0.270.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 54bff69f88ab:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/r672-2026-09-24/D/30-33*` |
| **R-674** | **The ladder log called a pin at the head "older than the ladder" (P3).** v0.270.0: it says "AT THE HEAD". Unit test + red-proof only — no product path reaches it since R-679 refuses a current app first. | v0.270.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 54bff69f88ab:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/r672-2026-09-24/redproofs/D-r674.txt` |
| **R-679** | **An Update on an app already at the head ran the whole guarded update — dump, pull, restart (P2).** v0.270.0: `409 already_current` before anything moves, hu + en; a re-tested digest of a floating tag still updates. Live on 9202 (privatebin): both languages refused, no backup, no pull. A test comment had called a same-version Update "the repair path" — Restart is. | v0.270.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 54bff69f88ab:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/r672-2026-09-24/D/10-r679-live.txt` |
| **R-681** | **An install cut off by a controller restart was lost silently (P2).** v0.270.0: an install marker before the compose-up, removed when the install ends; a marker at start → `compose down` (volumes kept), stale pin records cleared, `app_deploy_failed` with the reason, and the apps page says the install was interrupted (hu + en) until the next install; a finished install only loses the marker. Live on 9202: mealie killed 0 s into its pull → reported, page sentence, nothing left running; reinstall cleared the sentence; actualbudget (killed after it finished) left alone. **Rule:** a long-running act the customer started is journaled so a restart finishes or reports it. | v0.270.0, 2026-09-24 | `git show 54bff69f88ab:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/r672-2026-09-24/D/20-26*` |
| **R-672** | **The scheduled restore-test filled the production thin pool and turned a customer guest's disks read-only (P1).** Agent v0.133.0: space preflight on the UNCOMPRESSED size, off the tested guest's pool, unknown refuses. **Delivered 2026-09-24 night** to both demo boxes by CC-signed `agent_update` jobs (ruling 1, 2026-09-16); restore test back ON; live: demo-felhom PASS 85 s (pool 3.13 → 5.68 → 3.13 %), demo-hp REFUSED for space (needs 30.3 GiB, has 22.1).

| **R-673** | **9201's whole-box backups failed on a stale `snapshot-delete` lock (P2).** Agent v0.133.0: the stale-lock sweep every 10 min under the one-heavy-operation gate. Delivered to both demo boxes 2026-09-24 night; demo-hp 9201's next whole-box backup ran clean (no lock, 8.18 GB). | agent v0.133.0, delivered 2026-09-24 | `git show 75ff264:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-25/A/A4-*` |
| **R-684** | **demo-hp's whole-box backups could not fit on its root-disk target (P2).** Operator ruling 2026-09-24 evening, option A: retention 3 → 1 (`local_backup_retention`), the two oldest archives pruned by PVE's own prune, and one backup by the product's trigger fitted (8.18 GB; root 89 % → 60 %). The product lesson — warn BEFORE the night — is R-685 (agent v0.134.0 skips with a reason). | ruling 2026-09-24; applied 2026-09-24 night | `git show 75ff264:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-25/A/A4-hp-backup-space.txt`, `A4-hp-backup-run.txt` |
| **R-680** | **The box did not remember a failed update step (P2).** Controller v0.271.0: an undone or held step is recorded in app.yaml (`failed_update_step`, tied to the ladder's print); the automatic leg skips it until the catalog's ladder changes; a person can still press. Live on 9202: vikunja undone night 1, skipped `failed_before` night 2, re-tried after the catalog re-tested it. | v0.271.0, 2026-09-25 | `git show 75ff264:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-25/C/`; `B/redproofs/R680-*` |
| **R-678** | **After a step ended `done`, steps-left and the badge stayed stale (P3).** Controller v0.271.0: the update re-reads the app's catalog fields BEFORE it says done (and after an undo).

| **PETI** | **`peti-felhom` deliberately not migrated; parked until the tester reinstalls.** **RETIRED 2026-09-25 (operator ruling):** the tester wiped his server and the box will not return. Removed through the hub's customer delete (journal #20): the customer record and 1,519 residue rows, Storage Box sub-account `u629488-sub2` (id 269130) — which held only one 81-byte `authorized_keys`, never a repository (all 482 reports: 0 off-site snapshots, 0 bytes); ep0 held nothing of it (no PBS namespace, no WireGuard peer).

| **R-685** | **A whole-box backup that cannot fit must say so before it fails (P2).** Agent v0.134.0: a named skip before any vzdump (free space from `GET /nodes/<n>/storage`), proven live with safe builds on demo-hp. Controller v0.272.0: the backup page's tier row says „A teljes rendszermentés nem fér el: %s kell, %s szabad…” / "The full system backup does not fit…" (render test through the real template, both languages). **The page line has no live proof:** 9202 has no agent and no demo box is short of space now; the operator event rides the existing `whole_guest_backup_failed`. | agent v0.134.0 + controller v0.272.0, 2026-09-25 | `git show eb1c56a:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/night-2026-09-25/F/`; `audits/retire-peti-2026-09-25/B/` |
| **R-671** | **The undo copies kept by a hold survived the hold's clearing by a restore (P3).** v0.272.0: the restore that lifts an update hold removes that hold's undo copies (never a restore hold, never mid-update). Live on 9202: navidrome held with 1 copy kept → the backup page's restore → hold CLEARED, "removed 1 undo cop(y/ies)", 0 copies left, data read back. | v0.272.0, 2026-09-25 | `git show eb1c56a:documentation/backlog/OPEN-ITEMS.md`; `audits/retire-peti-2026-09-25/B/live/` |

## 2026-09-25 (evening) — the box converts a PostgreSQL major; kept data (controller v0.273.0 + v0.274.0, hub v0.125.0)

|---|---|---|---|
| **R-657** | **A reinstall over kept data ran silently into the old files (nextcloud never installed) (P2).** Operator ruling 2026-09-25 (`09` §3 decision 36), built in v0.274.0: the install asks „use my kept data" / „start fresh" (409 `kept_data_choice` until chosen); start fresh renames into `<drive>/kept/<app>/<date>/`; the „Megőrzött adatok" page lists, loads, deletes (typed).

| **R-690** | **The removed-app restore (R-487) never found a unit kept on a DATA drive (P1).** v0.274.0: `isStackDeployed` instead of `GetStackComposePath` (true for every catalog app); the R-487 test's fake had answered it for deployed apps only. Proven live: „use my kept data" loaded from `scratch_hdd/backups/primary/nextcloud`. | CLOSED 2026-09-25 — controller v0.274.0 | filed and closed this session; `audits/night-2026-09-26/E/E1-README.md` |

No live folder was at risk. Fixed before release in v0.274.0: an owner binds the folder through `${HDD_PATH}` (the folder or one inside it), never a protected stack. `TestKept_OwnerIsNeverTheFileBrowser`, red-proofed. `audits/night-2026-09-26/E/` | CLOSED 2026-09-25 — fixed in v0.274.0 before it shipped | filed and closed this session; `audits/night-2026-09-26/E/E5-redproof-owner.txt` |

## 2026-09-26/27 — a backup's data and its version travel together (controller v0.275.0, agent v0.135.0, catalog f1a7d6c)

| **R-696** | **Tier 1's "proven at" was the manifest's refresh time; the kept pre-conversion copy was released on a pre-conversion backup (P2). Widened by A1: the refresh re-captured the unit's DEFINITION over the old data, and a restore in that window left a PostgreSQL app down.** v0.275.0: every data file stamped with the versions that wrote it; the unit keeps the definition its data belongs to; a restore never mixes versions (unit restores refuse a mismatch, the off-site restore writes the snapshot's definition); every tier's time is its data's; the release needs a dump on the new major. Rule: `07` §6.6. Proven live on 9202 in the box's own night (00:30 data, 02:15 conversion, 02:16 refresh kept the 16 definition; restore back whole at 16; climb again). | CLOSED 2026-09-27 — controller v0.275.0 | `audits/version-travel-2026-09-26/A1/`, `A5-redproofs/`, `A5-live/` |
| **R-699** | **The update's precondition accepted a unit holding no data (a just-installed app's) as a fresh copy (P2).** Found live on 9202 this session (tandoor). v0.275.0: such a unit stays listed, never a precondition copy on Tier 1/2; the update backs up first (seen live: adventurelog's fresh install got `backing-up`). | CLOSED 2026-09-27 — controller v0.275.0 | filed and closed this session; `A5-redproofs/RP6-*` |
| **R-695** | **Two kept-data Deletes in one second could leave a self-perpetuating empty kept folder (P3).** v0.275.0: the file-browser sync is single-flight; an empty dated kept folder is never listed or bound. Red-proofed. | CLOSED 2026-09-27 — controller v0.275.0 | `audits/version-travel-2026-09-26/D2/` |
| **R-694** | **A load/restore regenerated a withheld login and the page showed it as the password (P3).** Measured per app from each entrypoint: 6 of 7 keep the login in their data (code-server is the exception). v0.275.0: `restored_logins`; the page shows no value and says to use the password valid at the backup. | CLOSED 2026-09-27 — controller v0.275.0 | `audits/version-travel-2026-09-26/D4/` |
| **R-689** | **demo-hp's restore test picked the golden template in `local:backup/` and failed every 6 h (P3).** Agent v0.135.0 + v0.136.0 + v0.137.0: only `vzdump-<type>-<vmid>` files or PBS `ct/…` or `vm/…` snapshots with a reported vmid, of a guest that still EXISTS on the node (v0.136.0 — the first half, read live with `-selftest=restore-test-due`, fell to a leftover archive of a guest deleted in August; v0.137.0 — PVE answers 403, not "does not exist", for a guest outside the agent's pool, which 0.136.0 read as a lookup failure).

| **R-655** | **adventurelog v0.13.0 could not become healthy in the catalog's template (P2).** Operator ruling decision 41 (keep the download). Catalog `06ea7da`: the frontend override dropped; a cut-off world-data file set aside before start (a pending import crash-looped 10× without it).

| **R-697** | **A restore dropped the `conversion_copy` record but not the kept pre-conversion volume — the copy was never released (P3).** Seen 2026-09-26 on 9202 (A1). v0.276.0: the restore's write carries the app's life records from the `app.yaml` it replaces (`carryLifeRecords`: conversion copies, `desired_state`, update history; not the pin, not `installed_images`); a second conversion after a restore to the old major keeps the first copy in `earlier_conversion_copies`, released by the same rule. Rule: a write that is not a new install is load-then-save, or it names every field it drops. Red-proofed RP1, RP2. | CLOSED 2026-09-27 — controller v0.276.0 | `audits/records-carried-2026-09-27/` |
