admin 5e3dfcb714 docs: SPIKE — A1 pool-membership read for the stale-lock reaper
Live-probed on felhom-pve under the PRODUCTION scoped token vs root:
enumeration IS pool-filtered (T1: token sees [9201] of 4 guests); pool read
403s naming Pool.Audit (T2); Pool.Audit@/pool/felhom alone suffices (T3,
throwaway identity, torn down); /cluster/resources withholds the pool field
without Pool.Audit (T7); local ownership records all partial (T5).

Recommendation for the A1 impl spec (now unblocked): Pool.Audit added to
FelhomAgentGuest + GET /pools/felhom cross-check in staleLockController,
fail-safe skip on read failure. Appendix: committed-secrets rotation
micro-runbook (operator follow-up).

## SPIKE — A1 pool-membership read for the stale-lock reaper (2026-07-03)
**Class:** SPIKE (docs-only; no production code, no felhom-agent commit, no live ACL/agent change).
**Deliverable:** `documentation/audits/SPIKE-a1-pool-membership-read-2026-07-03.md`.
Empirically answered the three open A1 mechanism questions on live felhom-pve, probing under the
**production** scoped token `felhom-agent@pve!agent` (secret read on-host, length-only recorded)
vs root as oracle:
- **T1 (crux):** `GET /nodes/demo-felhom/lxc` under the scoped token returns **[9201] only**; root
sees [9001, 9100, 9201, 9999]. LXC enumeration IS pool-filtered — the reaper's scan is already
ownership-scoped *as deployed*, so A1 is latent, re-armed only by a broad-token redeploy.
- **T2:** `GET /pools/felhom` under the token → **403 "Permission check failed (/pool/felhom,
Pool.Audit)"**. `GET /pools` → 200 `[]` (silently filtered, not an error).
- **T3:** throwaway `felhom-probe@pve!probe` with ONLY `Pool.Audit`@`/pool/felhom` → **200 with
members** — minimal priv delta proven. Bonus (T3b): a token with no VM.Audit gets **200 + empty
list** from the LXC index (mis-scope is silent, not an error). Full teardown verified (0 residue).
- **T4:** root `pvesh get /pools/felhom` works but would be a 4th `proxmox.Privileged` fence
exception — rejected.
- **T5:** local ownership records (guest-binds.json, reconcile journal, guests/ dir, installer
state.json) are all **partial** — journal's newest vmid (9310) no longer exists; adopted or
drive-less guests are absent — rejected as reaper gate.
- **T6:** live foreign-guest reap deliberately NOT run (needs broad-token redeploy); deferred to
the named unit test. **T7 (extra):** `/cluster/resources` withholds the `pool` field without
`Pool.Audit` — no zero-ACL-change API path exists.
**Recommendation (for the now-unblocked A1 impl spec):** add `Pool.Audit` to `PVE_PRIVS_GUEST`
(`scripts/felhom-host-install.sh` L183, granted at `/pool/felhom`) + intersect `ListLXC` with
`GET /pools/felhom` members inside `staleLockController.Guests()`; a pool-read failure propagates
to the existing "guest list unavailable — skipping recovery" fail-safe. Ship agent + `--rescope-acl`
together; optionally surface pool-read in the capability probe. Named tests:
`TestStaleLock_ForeignGuestNotReaped`, `TestStaleLock_PoolGuestStillReaped`,
`TestStaleLock_PoolReadFails_SkipsAll`.
**Appendix folded in:** committed-secrets rotation micro-runbook for the 3 live `stringData` blocks
in `manifests/felhom.secret.yaml` (healthchecks-config / umami-config / gitea-creds) — rotate
upstream first, out-of-band `kubectl create secret`, then de-git; operator follow-up, no execution.
**Cleanup:** probe user/token/role removed and verified absent; no throwaway guest needed (three
real non-pool guests existed); production roles/token/agent untouched; secrets never persisted.
