# REPORT — every app checked again with the fixed persistence check; the remove dialog tells the truth; licence rulings; v0.288.0 + golden (2026-10-02, afternoon)

Architecture read: `07-backup-architecture.md` §6 (tiers) and §6.5 (kept data — now with decision 67), `09` §3 decisions
36, 65, 66, 67. Evidence root: `documentation/audits/persistence-sweep-2026-10-02/`.

| Part | State | One line |
|---|---|---|
| **A** — the re-sweep (R-801) | **DONE** | R-788 rule + the app's own fixture seed in the gate; all 58 on the bench; **0 BROKEN**; papra's start-up defect found and fixed (R-803). |
| **B** — the remove dialog (R-800) | **DONE** | v0.288.0: `userdata_kept` in the dialog data and both results; the sentence in both languages; red-proofed; live on 9202. |
| **C** — release, floor, golden | **DONE** | Floor 0.288.0 (min_agent 0.131.0), both demo boxes in 20 s; golden 0.288.0 baked, round-tripped, vouched; currency gate OK. |
| Rulings | **RECORDED** | `09` §3 66 (licences) and 67 (userdata stays); `07` §6.5; STATUS "Before the first paying customer". |

**Sweep headline (58 templates):** before (2026-08-02, 53 apps, + the new apps' records) CLEAN 38 · UNDETERMINED 11 ·
BROKEN 4 — **every one of those decided by start-time writes alone** → now **CLEAN 40 · UNDETERMINED 18 · BROKEN 0 ·
INCONCLUSIVE 0** (39 · 19 in the sweep; papra CLEAN after its fix). The August BROKEN four (gramps-web, papra, privatebin,
wishlist) were fixed in Campaign 10; none is BROKEN now. **No data-loss finding: no app writes outside a preserved folder.**

## Claims in the brief, checked

- **"Every stored verdict came only from start-time writes"** — RIGHT for the August sweep: 0 of 53 probes had sent a
  request (`ports: []`, `exercise: []` in every `probe.json`). Not quite for today's morning runs of MeTube and
  Grimmory, which ran after the R-801 fix.
- **"The upgrade fixtures can serve as exercisers"** — PARTLY. 51 of 58 apps have one; the gate called it for 16 apps;
  it decided 2 (metube, privatebin). 13 seeded fine and stayed UNDETERMINED, because the seeds write only to the
  database — upload / media / cache / redis volumes stay empty (R-807). plex's seed cannot run (a plex.tv claim token).
- **"Userdata is never touched by a remove"** — RIGHT, and it was already true before this session: the remove reads
  `${HDD_PATH}` binds only, pinned since R-442 (`TestRemoveStack_R442_UserdataConventionFromPerAppPath`). What was
  wrong was only that nothing SAID so. Measured again on 9202 (the video stayed).
- **The R-788 decoy as written ("an app that writes nothing → exit 2, red on the old rule")** — the old rule already gave
  exit 2 for an app that writes nothing. The real gap was an app that writes SOMEWHERE while a declared volume stays
  empty (old: CLEAN). The decoy was built for that shape and seen red (`A/RP-R788-empty-volume.txt`).

## Part A — the sweep

Gate changes (catalog): an empty declared volume after the exercise is UNDETERMINED (R-788, red-proofed; three old tests
pinned the old rule and changed with it); when a volume stays empty the gate calls the app's own upgrade-fixture seed
(one call through `upgrade_fixtures` / `upgrade_boxport`, as `upgrade-test.py` does — it replaces the morning's
MeTube-only exerciser). Bench 9401 on demo-hp, 200G, swap 0, Docker Hub logged in, 8 batches; full table with reasons:
`A/sweep/TABLE.md`; verdict lines in the catalog: `audits/persistence-sweep-2026-10-02/verdicts.txt`.

**REFUSED (BROKEN): none** — so no P1 data-loss row, no stop, no box to name.

**UNDETERMINED, why:** 13 apps — a second volume (uploads / media / cache / redis / backup) stays empty after a
successful seed that writes only the database (claper, crafty-controller, dawarich, docmost, gramps-web, immich, outline,
sparkyfitness, tandoor, vikunja, wger, wishlist, zipline — R-807). plex — no seed route (a plex.tv claim token).
bentopdf — stateless by design (no volume; a browser-side PDF tool). recipe-importer — stateless converter (its /data is
never written). wanderer — unhealthy under the gate, no fixture. plant-it — its image is gone from Docker Hub (R-804).

**Found and fixed on the way: papra (R-803, P1).** At its 256M limit every fresh install was OOM-killed in its
migration and crash-looped (its 26.6.2 step was proven by harness v1, without a memory watch). Measured from birth: peak
anon 405 MiB, cgroup peak 483 MiB, ~255 MiB idle. Now 768M (`mem_request` 256M): healthy in 31 s, 0 kills, the seed
read back, persistence CLEAN (`A/papra/`). No box ran papra.

`EXISTING-APPS-GAPS.md` regenerated from the new verdicts (storage 38 → 36 of 53); records 2.1 updated (radicale,
karakeep, grimmory, metube CLEAN; dawarich done with the redis volume named; sparkyfitness and wger open).

## Part B — the remove dialog (controller v0.288.0)

`GET /api/stacks/{name}/hdd-data`, `POST …/remove`, `DELETE /api/stacks/{name}` carry `userdata_kept` (always a
list). Both dialogs and both results: „A fájljaid ezekben a mappákban megmaradnak — a fájlböngészőben látod őket:" /
"Your files in these folders stay — you see them in the file browser:" + the folders. The false "no data on a drive" note
is gone when userdata exists. Tests + red-proof (two mutants, `B/RP-R800-mutants.txt`); parity fixtures regenerated —
additions only, 0 deletions, 109 pages. **Live on 9202** (`B/r800-9202.txt`, endpoint-level, no browser): MeTube from the
live catalog, one download; the dialog's data names the folder; the page carries the line in hu and en (with a negative
control); remove with data → 409 on 9202 (no host agent, R-442 — the with-data result is pinned by the unit test);
remove keeping data → the result names the folder; the video still there.

## Part C — release

Controller v0.288.0 (`580b656`), image built from the pushed tree. Floor 0.288.0 + min_agent 0.131.0 → demo-hp and
demo-felhom on 0.288.0 in 20 s (`C/floor.txt`). Golden 0.288.0: sha `436fdfa1…`, round trip equal, vouched (golden 0.288.0
/ agent 0.138.0 / min_agent 0.131.0), R-120 refused 0.287.0 after; `golden_currency_gate.py`: "OK — the newest released
controller has a golden" (`documentation/tests/golden-0.288.0-2026-10-02/`).

## Rows

Register **436 → 442**. Closed: R-788, R-790, R-791, R-792, R-795, R-801, R-803. Updated: R-789 (Tandoor — trigger),
R-800 (ruled A, built). Opened: R-802 (lawyer review), R-804 (plant-it image gone), R-805 (empty binds not judged),
R-806 (https backends / gramps-web first GET), R-807 (seeds that write only the database).

## Teardown

- **Bench 9401:** built and destroyed twice; `pct list` 9201 + 9202 only; nvme-scratch back to its baseline (+120 KiB).
  Docker Hub credentials shredded on DooPlex, demo-hp and the bench; `docker logout` before the destroy.
- **9202:** MeTube removed (keeping data — with data refused by R-442), the harness's own test folder removed by hand;
  controller 0.288.0; live catalog.
- **Hub:** the floor and the artifact manifest changed on purpose; nothing else. Tester-2: not touched.
