The golden's version IS the controller it bakes (build-golden.sh:345 defaults GOLDEN_VERSION to the controller tag), so a golden behind the newest deployed controller means every FRESH install lands on stale application code. On the R-120 occurrence that stale code shipped a customer-facing falsehood: a box from the 0.185.1 golden told a customer whose backup drive had fallen out that the backup was on the same disk as the system -- false, the drive was gone -- and offered a different drive as the remedy. WHY A GATE, NOT A REMINDER. The gap has opened three times: R-111 (golden's agent 17 releases behind), R-115 (agent built and deployed, never published), R-120 (this). The first two were closed by re-baking and remembering; remembering then failed again. R-29 is the standing proof that a check nobody runs is worse than none because it reads as coverage -- hostinstall_gates.py sat RED and uninvoked across three version bumps and hub_confirm_gate.py has never run at all. So the property that matters is not whether a check exists but whether it BLOCKS. - Wired into handleSetArtifacts (internal/web/configs.go), immediately before the only write, on the sole UI path to SetArtifactManifest -- it runs on every vouch without anyone choosing to. A script in scripts/ would have been a fourth orphan. - It REFUSES (operator ruling, 2026-07-30), with a flash naming the remedy. - Signal: store.NewestReportedControllerVersion() over reports.controller_version, SEMVER-compared in Go -- MAX() in SQL ranks 0.99.0 above 0.186.0, a pair this fleet has shipped. No outbound call, no new credential. - Fail-open in exactly two deliberate cases: an empty golden field (clearing the manifest is legitimate) and an unknown fleet version (a new hub must vouch its first golden). NEAR-MISS RECORDED: the first draft read guests.controller_version, a column that exists in the schema and that NOTHING writes -- it would always have seen "" and failed open, i.e. inert, this gate's own failure shape. Caught by grepping for a writer before trusting the column. Blind spot stated rather than papered over: a controller no box has ever run is invisible to this signal. Not the failure that has bitten -- all three instances were deployed-newer-than-baked. 4 tests through the PRODUCTION handler over httptest, never an injected seam. The refusal asserts both the flash and that the manifest was NOT written, because a gate that redirects and saves anyway reads as enforcement while providing none. Red-proof: deleting the block makes the stale golden vouchable and both assertions fail. ROADMAP R-29's audit list now records this as the FIRST enforced gate, so the contrast with its three orphans is kept rather than lost. The orphans are unchanged. Suite rc=0 read separately from this commit.
Felhom — Documentation
Felhom is a managed home-server service for Hungarian households, built on a three-component model over Proxmox:
- Hub — operator backend on k3s (
hub.felhom.eu). Repo:felhom.eu/hub/. - Host agent — one per Proxmox host; operator-tier; owns all Proxmox interaction. Repo:
felhom-agent/. - In-guest controller — one per customer LXC; Docker-only; manages the customer's apps. Repo:
felhom-controller/.
This directory is the central, code-verified documentation home for all three components plus the platform and the security-audit record.

Conventions
- Code-verified, not memory-derived. Architectural claims here are checked against the actual current source; if a claim can't be verified it is omitted and flagged, not guessed.
- Per-repo operational working files (
CLAUDE.md,CONTEXT.md,CHANGELOG.md,BUGHUNT.md,REPORT.md,TASK.md) live in their own repos — they are operational, not published docs. - Authoritative versions at last refresh: controller v0.59.0, agent v0.29.1, hub v0.11.0.
