where-felhom-stands: bring the picture up to 2026-08-22, and stop the page disagreeing with its source
Eight claims re-checked against the drill and the v0.218.0 fixes; three moved, all downward.

  backup.offsite            walked -> partial. "18 snapshots, daily, unbroken" was true on
                            2026-08-09 and false by 2026-08-21: the next snapshot after that date
                            was put there by hand, twelve days later. The rebuild lost the target
                            and the per-app switches came back off, so a run reported "backup OK:
                            0 app(s) backed up".
  fail.wiped-reinstalled.data  walked -> partial. A real reinstall orphans BOTH off-premises tiers:
                            restic silently for 12 days (R-193), and the PBS archives from before
                            the reinstall cannot be opened by the rebuilt box at all (R-366).
  backup.fill-warning       walked -> partial. The warning fires correctly, but the watcher runs
                            once a day, so a filesystem that fills at 03:31 goes unannounced for
                            ~24 h. Watched silent while a volume sat at 99%.

Five re-checked and held: backup.tier1 and recover.byte-identical carry the R-355/R-354 story and
their fixes; backup.restore-proof stays grey for a sharper reason (orphaned archives, not an
untested tier); backup.sikeres gains two fresh instances; fail.customer-self-restore records that
R-356 now blocks 40 of 53 apps regardless of who is driving.

render_stands.py: the header's commit shas were hardcoded, so the page cited the August 9th commits
while the YAML said otherwise - the stale-build-product failure the renderer exists to prevent. They
are parsed now. The count beside them said "15 status(es) moved in that pass" when 15 was every
recorded move ever; it now separates the two numbers.

check_stands passes, and was itself proven able to convict first: a claim marked `missing` flipped to
`walked` in a scratch copy fired rule 5 by name (use.dlna), and the real file still passes.

# THIS IS A VIEW, NEVER A SOURCE. Every entry cites the capability-map row, register row or

# Regenerate the page after any status move: python3 scripts/render_stands.py

The archives that predate the 2026-08-21 reinstall are UNREADABLE to the machine that made them (R-366). Credit where due: the mechanism caught it and named the key mismatch precisely.

What the next real reinstall showed (2026-08-21, demo-hp) is that the rebuild ORPHANS BOTH OFF-PREMISES TIERS at once, quietly: the restic target was lost and needed a self-heal plus a per-app re-enable before any copy resumed (R-193), and the PBS archives from before the reinstall cannot be opened by the rebuilt box at all, because it now presents a different key (R-366).
