hub v0.117.0: the status follows the configured threshold; slow crash loop and interrupted restore events
R-549 (operator ruling A): controllerStatus hardcoded 30m/1h while both
staleness checkers and hostStatus read alerting.stale_threshold. Moving the
threshold to 45m would have painted a customer amber 15 minutes before the
alarm could fire - the second definition rollup.go's header forbids. It now
reads the same value, down at 2x. Both 'checker initialized' log lines print
the threshold, which no line did before.

R-539 (ruling 3 of 2026-09-16): controller_slow_crashloop (warning,
operator-only), minted when the agent's slow_crashloop_since moves, with the
fast sibling's first-sight rule.

R-550: restore_interrupted (warning, for the household) allowlisted with a
Hungarian customer message.

Red-proofs, each seen failing then passing: the status test with the old
hardcoded numbers; the checker test with the movement branch removed; the
operator-only test with the registration removed; the household-message test
with the Hungarian entry removed (asserted on the SUBJECT - the body
legitimately repeats the raw message, which my first version of the test
mistook for a fallback).

go build/vet/test ./... green, 18 packages.

Hub — architecture, constraints, deploy

What the hub is

Operator backend. Authors operator intent, mirrors box reality, holds no data-plane role, and never connects inbound to a box. If it dies, apps keep serving; only management degrades.

Three inbound contracts, and one is frozen: the agent's host-domain report (POST /api/v1/host-report, the heartbeat/dead-man's-switch), the legacy controller report (POST /api/v1/report, frozen until the slice-10 cutover — do not modify), and structured controller events (POST /api/v1/event, gated by allowedEventTypes).

Everything else — checkers, the two-tier notification dispatcher, the app-mail relay, customer-config and Day-0 artifact-manifest management, the operator UI — is mapped in REUSE.md. Full design: documentation/architecture/05-hub-architecture.md.

The two stack constraints

The dependency list is hub/go.mod's business and the deploy shape is manifests/. Only these two cannot be read off the code:

  • No web frameworks. Go stdlib net/http + html/template, and it stays that way.
  • Secrets via out-of-band secretKeyRef — never inline stringData (REUSE.md §3).

Deploy — GitOps, and the manifest is the truth

Full runbook: the felhom-build-deploy skill. The load-bearing rules:

  • A code change + CHANGELOG bump deploys NOTHING. The running image changes only when manifests/hub.yaml's image: tag changes in git and the app is synced.
  • Pin explicit versions, never :latest. Never bare kubectl set image / kubectl apply — reverted on the next sync.
  • The live image can lag the CHANGELOG when a bump was committed but the manifest/sync step never happened — reconcile via the manifest, not the changelog.
  • Green gate before any hub commit: go build ./... && go vet ./... && go test ./... in hub/.

Rules that bite here

  • Seam-wiring — it covers TEMPLATE GATES: a feature is not shipped until its entry point is reachable. Any conditional affordance ({{if .Flag}} around a button, form or script) ships with a render test per branch of the gate. Handler tests that POST directly prove nothing about reachability.
  • A health check issues no block I/O. A probe that touches a wedged device enters uninterruptible sleep, survives SIGKILL, and cannot be recovered until the device returns or the host reboots — so systemctl restart hangs too. A timeout protects the caller's control flow and nothing else: the blocked thread remains. Liveness is decided from /proc and kernel state, never by reading or writing the filesystem.
  • New event types must enter allowedEventTypes and customerMessages together, or POST /event 400s.
  • Status logic: OK (report younger than alerting.stale_threshold), WARN (past the threshold or health=warn), DOWN (past 2× the threshold or health=fail). The threshold is configuration (manifests/hub.yaml; 45 m by operator ruling 2026-09-17, R-549), and the display (controllerStatus, hostStatus) and both checkers read the same value — never hardcode it. Host-liveness thresholds are shared between UI and checker — never invent a second definition.
  • SQLite timestamps vary in format — always parseSQLiteTime().
  • Logging: DEBUG = flow detail, INFO = state change + duration; operator English; keys never values (documentation/runbooks/logging-conventions.md). The bundle secret-gate fails closed.
