STATUS — what works, what's broken, what's next

Ready for Tester 2? Yes — tell the friend go (hand-over list: documentation/pilot/TESTER2-handover.md).

Updated 2026-10-24 (night, unattended fix run). Four restore and backup holes are fixed on main (three proven on test boxes); BYO hosts keep their SSH settings (D43 = A). Nothing is released — see Monday's list.

What works

The Plex attack (10-17 → 10-23) did not reach Felhom's secrets (R-1241).
A box installs from nothing with the public installer, links to the hub, and moves to the floor by itself (map A1, A3, A4).
65 catalog apps install, update one tested step at a time, and a failed update undoes itself (map B1, B3, B4, B6).
Backups: database dumps, a second-drive copy, an off-site copy and whole-box copies; restore tests run by themselves (map C1–C4, A17, A18).
A restore brings an app back with its data and its database password; a failed or cut restore puts the app back as it was — off-site live, local on the test image (map C5, D6, D16).
After a power cut the box starts by itself, cleans up a half-written backup, and Immich repairs broken photos (map C10, F12).
A second drive is offered as the backup target; media apps see every drive; a one-disk box gets its own data area (map D1, D13, D15).
The three test boxes answer only over https; the hub's key opens nothing on a box; password guesses are counted (map E12, E13, E17).
A hacked app that uploads or computes more than it explains alarms only you; each box tests its upload weekly; qBittorrent gets half (map F13).
An urgent security fix reaches the boxes at night after one test on the test box; the box backs up first and undoes a failed update (map B23).
The hub mails alarms and recoveries and keeps a weekly whole-box copy on ep0; CC uses its own limited token (map F1, F11, G15).

What is broken

P1 (fixed on main, NOT released): a power cut while an app on a drive is restored can later pour old data over new data (R-1251); one wrong line in an app's backup settings deletes its second-drive copy (R-1252, P2).
P1: any hacked app on DooPlex can read the hub's nightly backups, and maybe the signing keys (R-1241, homelab session); about 12 homelab logins still use a password that was public, and the public Gitea repo is not decided (R-925, yours).
Tester 2 is off since 2026-10-04: old emergency password, no off-site check, no bootstrap (R-1139, R-1104, R-862). The scratch box cannot use agent features (R-1083).
DooPlex: something sets the shared checkout to „bare" (R-935).

What we work on

Dated checks, run by CC. 2026-10-25: tonight's database copy reaches the restic sweep (R-232). 2026-10-26: each hub daily job ran once on the clock-change day (R-1183). 2026-10-27: the weekly clean-up window (R-435; the logs of the last one were lost to restarts). 2026-10-30: D35, website and installer to Cloudflare, starts (R-1228, ruled yes).

Waiting on you — decide

Newest first. CC's pick is in the „Pick" column. Each row also has its full text in the register.

#	Row	Question	Pick (why)	The other option costs	If you do nothing	Blocked
D45	R-1266	Seven places where a design document says one thing and the code does another. One line each, with a pick: `documentation/audits/review-round-2-2026-10-24/D44-D45-picks.md`. Answer „all picks" or name the ones you disagree with.	Yes — the text follows the code (each is how the system works today; you read every changed sentence)	the code follows the text: six code changes, one of them to the box's door for you	the documents keep saying what is not true	—
D44	R-1265	25 behaviours the code has but no document named. One line each, with a pick (21 confirm, 4 small changes): the same file. Answer „all picks" or name the ones you disagree with.	All picks (each was read in the code)	name the ones to change; each becomes a row	the notes stay marked „undocumented"	—
D38	R-1235	Put the newest golden (637 MB) into the nightly release copy on ep0 too?	Yes (a new install after a DooPlex loss needs it; it fits under the 3 GB cap)	leave it out: after a loss, no new install until a golden is rebuilt and vouched	the same	—
D37	R-1236	Raise Gitea's memory limit from 1 GiB to 2 GiB? It was killed for memory 4 times in 17 days, once during today's release.	Yes (DooPlex has the RAM; a DooPlex change, so yours)	keep 1 GiB: a restart in release hours fails box updates and CI for a minute	the same	—
D9	R-1062	Split the N100's USB drive in two, for multi-drive tests?	No — keep one drive (the lived-in box keeps its nightly whole-box backup)	Split: the box loses its local whole-box backup, or you buy a second drive first	it stays one drive; multi-drive tests stay on Tester 1	—
D7	R-990, R-989	Rule on the forum ideas and the selfh.st ideas now, or park them?	Park them (P4; nothing waits on them)	Rule now: about one hour of reading	nothing changes; the research gets old	—

Waiting on you — do

Still needed? (yes/no) — CC could not check these. Answer yes or no per line.

The N100 sheet, about 30 minutes: Plex, the admins in Prowlarr, Sonarr and Radarr, your download sources (documentation/audits/n100-lived-in-2026-10-15/SHEET.md). Since 2026-10-15.
Look at these demo-hp pages when you have time: Calibre-Web, the file manager, AdventureLog, Plex, the app page, the Plex and Sonarr guides. Since 2026-10-16.

Pin the first Facebook post (R-917), and look at the new cover in the Facebook phone app (R-919). Since 2026-10-12.

Monday 2026-10-26, release list (attended). 1. Controller v0.343.0: the restore and backup fixes (R-1251–R-1253), R-1250. If not: the P1 stays open. 2. Agent v0.165.0 + your vouch: BYO keeps its SSH (R-1257). 3. Hub v0.170.0: the recovery package in one step (R-1254). Day, 2026-10-23 — your do list.

Print the break-glass sheet (documentation/runbooks/break-glass-sheet.md, the part from „The sheet”, one A4), fill it by hand, keep it outside the home (D32; R-923, R-924). If not: after a DooPlex loss no off-site copy opens.
On the hub's Hosts page: Discard appliance 49, and delete host Tester4-16fdef. If not: two dead entries alarm.
Give the homelab session R-1241, R-1242, the lists at the end of documentation/audits/plex2shell-felhom-impact-2026-10-23/README.md and documentation/audits/dooplex-alarms-2026-10-24/README.md, and an upload alarm on DooPlex's eno1 (~100 Mbit/s line; the flood peaked at 905). If not: the next hacked app on DooPlex can read the hub's backups. The rest

System poster needs a refresh: the new 01:40 „release copy” arrow from DooPlex to ep0 (D33); the hub-database label already says every 6 hours. If not: the drawing misses one copy.
Rotate the reused homelab logins and decide the Gitea repo's visibility (R-925, P1). Since 2026-10-09.
Two DooPlex leftovers: leftovers/2026-10-14/first-post/ (keep or delete); the deny-list edit in homelab-manifests' .claude/settings.json (commit or drop). Since 2026-10-14.
Before the first paying customer: Tandoor's permission (R-789); a lawyer for the licence list and the terms (R-802, R-813); SparkyFitness by e-mail (R-784).
Later (yours, not urgent): R-1250 (a seeding qBittorrent is never tested), R-1248 (a hard upload cap per app), R-1229 (ArgoCD's sync settings into git), R-862 (Tester 2's bootstrap, when it is back), R-504, R-1071, R-1073, R-1077, R-1042, R-132, R-908, R-779, R-904, R-232, R-433, R-933, R-213, R-832, R-388, R-882, R-883, R-814, R-1056, R-1164, R-930, R-920, R-902.
