THE DATA: PASS. All three sentinels byte-identical out of snapshot f5c53b03, including the 12 MB binary and the accented Hungarian filename whose NAME BYTES are identical too. Disk -> restic -> SFTP -> Storage Box -> rebuilt machine -> disk, intact. THE JOURNEY: FAIL, and further from the line than the previous walk. The claim worked first try (302 in 0.164s). Then: / lands on the launcher with no recovery pointer, /recovery 302s away, and the remote page offers to CREATE a new recovery code — which would orphan the history the customer's code protects. There is no field anywhere to enter the code they hold. The operator's documented remedy also refuses, correctly and fail-closed. Recovery needed three guest command lines. R-241 — and the cause is a success this same walk proved six hours earlier. OffsiteRecoveryOffer() shows the screen only when (a) there is NO repository password (pristine rebuild) or (b) one exists but the history will not open under it. Overnight the credential self-heal collected the staged credential and applied the tier, writing a FRESH key at 03:18Z — so (a) is false; and (b) is unreachable because orphan detection needs a run, and runs are blocked by escrow_state=pending. The gap is self-locking. Measured keys: on-disk 9b4a9a9d... vs recovered-from-R 30ef574f... This is R-218's shape one level up: succeeding at the self-heal stopped the box OFFERING the recovery it still needed. Registers: R-201 moved to its outcome; R-241 filed; capability map's recovery row stays FAIL with both halves and the cause named; STATUS rewritten for the operator. Highest ID R-238 -> R-241. The venue is left with the recovered key in place and the self-heal key moved aside, never deleted. Teardown still owed.

OPEN-ITEMS.md is the register of open work and the file to read first — it holds only what is
open, one row per item, every row with a state and an owner. ROADMAP.md is the full history and
reasoning behind the R-n IDs, including shipped and killed items; an ID is minted there, and a new
instance of an existing item attaches to that ID rather than getting its own.
The rest of this folder: verified-LIVE findings with implementable fix plans that are not yet
implemented. Preserved here
(instead of on git branches) per the trunk-based, no-branches rule — the fix itself is implemented later
directly on main, during a normal/supervised session.
-
FIX-M18-NOTES.md — dump re-validation runs every 5 min (perf). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @
f8afe5c(2026-06-14). (was on the deletedfelhom-controllerbranchfix/m18-dump-validation-cache.) -
FIX-M19-NOTES.md —
deriveStackNamemisattribution edge (low-incidence correctness). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @6bab68b(2026-06-14). (was on the deleted branchfix/m19-stackname-crossref.) -
FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md — the golden bakes a stale controller (
:0.43.0when queued; had rotted again to:0.85.1by resolution). FIXED in felhom-agent @ceca355(2026-07-03):build-golden.shv2.0.0 makes the controller tag a MANDATORY argument (a required arg cannot rot) and golden 0.98.3 was baked + clean-room-validated (bake → first-boot-current → self-manage → app deploy, on the drill VM — no supervised touch of live guests needed) + published + vouched. Evidence:../audits/DRILL-golden-098-2026-07-03.md.
Related: the live-drive fixspec (../audits/live-drive-fixspec-2026-06-14.md) carries the deferred
supervised items F9 (HDD provisioning/guest-attach), F20-BUG2 (durable_id scheme), F20-BUG3 (async
mkfs) — to be implemented in the agent/golden supervised session.
