The gate failed only on `released > baked`, so it could catch a forgotten bake and nothing else. A golden AHEAD of the record passed silently - and that is how controller 0.221.1 was built, baked AND vouched while the newest CHANGELOG heading still read v0.221.0, with every gate green. Reproduced on the real history: newest released 0.221.0 / newest golden baked 0.221.1 -> exit 0. The gate now asks whether the version being shipped is WRITTEN DOWN: the baked version must have its own `## vX.Y.Z` heading anywhere in the CHANGELOG. Membership rather than `baked > released` deliberately - a comparison against the newest heading alone goes green the moment any later entry is written, leaving the unrecorded version permanently unrecorded. INCONCLUSIVE (exit 2) preserved; every refusal names a reason and a route. Red-proofed both directions: old gate/old record exit 0, new gate/old record exit 1, new gate/fixed record exit 0, absent clone exit 2, post-bake exit 0. 08-alarm-ladder.md is new, and its absence was itself the finding: no document owned "when does a broken app raise an alarm?". The rules lived as comments in four packages, each locally correct, with the ordering between them legible only by reading one function top to bottom - which is how R-384 survived review. R-383 and R-384 closed into CLOSED-ITEMS with their rules kept. R-385 filed closed. R-386 filed OPEN: a single-container app stopped out of band raises no alarm, and a comment claims the opposite - measured live, 9 scans, 0 events, against a positive control from the same box 17 minutes earlier. Not fixed here. Golden 0.222.0 baked and published; vouching is the operator's act.
documentation/backlog/
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.
