admin 4691aa1a35 Campaign 10: Phase A complete + gated; Phase B not run; R-156 filed
Phase A passed every gate on a fresh box built from the PUBLISHED ISO 1.26.1:
install, claim, two drives enrolled through the real endpoints with the backup
target healthy, four apps spanning both sides of D5's secret split, and a
working discriminator across all four.

Isolation gate: both denials captured, each with a positive control. The PBS
control FAILED first — four clean-looking 403s were worthless because the token
was denied on its own datastore too (PBS token privilege separation). Fixed and
re-run; the denials stand.

R-156 (new, register grepped): papra's data is neither persisted nor backed up,
and it reports healthy. The template mounts papra_data:/app/data; the app writes
/app/app-data/db/db.sqlite. Volume empty and root-owned against a -rootless
image, real DB in the container writable layer, healthcheck only probes the HTTP
port. Its Tier-1/2 backup is real, verifiable and contains nothing. Not fixed.

Tier 3 could not be isolated so it was not run: offsite hard-requires the DR
tier (configs.go:1300) and the DR tier only provisions on ep0 (per-endpoint
allocation deferred, hub/README.md:260). Both are recorded deliberate positions,
so no R-n minted. The campaign touched neither ep0 nor the Storage Box.

Phase B did not start. Phase A was budgeted at ~1h and took ~5.5h (1.26.1 is a
public release image with no auto-install path, so the install was a blind
screendump+sendkey walk). That left the runner — which judges eleven invariants
and fires destructive atoms unattended — to be written at 04:00 with ~3h of
night left. Stopped on the brief's own fence: a rig producing false negatives is
worse than no rig. The rig is built and idle; teardown is OWED and itemised,
including hub customer c10-soak (disposition: DELETE).

Campaign 10 — Phase A journal (2026-07-31)

All times CEST unless marked Z.

Venue

Host demo-hp (HP t740), Tier 0, the designated drill/build host
VM 311 c10-appliance — q35 / OVMF (pre-enrolled-keys=0), 4 cores, 8 GB, cpu=host
Disks scsi0 200 G (system) · scsi1 50 G · scsi2 50 G — all qcow2 on c10-scratch
Storage c10-scratch, dir at /mnt/nvme-1tb — the mount ROOT, content=images. Root chosen deliberately: a storage at a subdirectory sets exactMount=falsereachable=falseStorageStateDisconnected (felhom-agent/internal/storage/observe.go:336), which would emit storage_disconnected for demo-hp for the whole run — the exact signal I1/I2 test. Coexists with felhom-backup on the same path; that storage was not modified.
Guest network demo-hp's vmbr0 is 192.168.0.87/24, a different physical LAN from DooPlex's own 192.168.0.0/24. Reached via ssh -J demo-hp.
Console no browser on DooPlex → qm monitor screendump → PPM → PNG, read visually; keystrokes via sendkey
Untouched drill-r50 (VM 300), guest 9201 on both demo boxes, local-lvm, both backup targets

Golden vs main: NOT behind — both 0.188.0. The deliberate decision the brief asks for is therefore vacuous this run: the campaign tests what is shipping and what is current, with no divergence.

Two brief assumptions were stale and were corrected by reading fresh:

  1. The brief was written against ISO v1.25.0; iso.felhom.eu began serving 1.26.1 at 18:37 Z the same day — ~90 minutes before this run started.
  2. The brief (and CLAUDE.md, target-selection.md:41-42) say demo-hp has no baked SSH key. ssh -o BatchMode=yes demo-hp authenticated by key, first try. Already filed as R-129 by the 2026-07-31 tester-gate run — not re-filed (register grep per the fences).

A1 — build the appliance from the published ISO

1.26.1 is a PUBLIC RELEASE image and cannot auto-install. Verified against the ISO bytes on demo-hp, not inferred from the manifest:

Probe Hits
auto-installer-mode.toml 0
answer.toml 0
proxmox-auto-install 0
felhom-bootstrap_1.26.1_all.deb 1
Felhom grub menuentries exactly 2, both interactive

Manifest agrees: mode: release … NO answer.toml, NO baked credential, interactive disk selection, root-password: NONE — the installer prompts, loader: shim (stock MS-signed chain).

Driven blind through the Terminal UI entry (the graphical entry is not drivable — the QEMU monitor's mouse events do not move the guest cursor, per REPORT-iso-release.md). Screendump before every keystroke.

Traps hit and handled, each verified rather than assumed:

  • GRUB default is the graphical entry. The first attempt auto-booted it because the down keystroke landed after the 15 s countdown expired. Reset, and sent down inside the window in one round trip.
  • Guest keymap was Hungarian, but sendkey emits US scancodes — every symbol afterwards (notably @, which is AltGr+V on a Hungarian layout) would have been silently mangled, including the root password, locking the box out. Switched to U.S. English before typing anything. Confirmed positively: c10@felhom.eu rendered with a correct @ and ..
  • Disk-selection safety: only scsi0 was attached during the install, so the installer offered exactly one target (/dev/sda, 200 GiB) and could not reach a data drive. The two 50 G data drives were attached afterwards.
  • Boot-order trap (REPORT-iso-release.md, recorded twice there): --boot was set in its own qm set after the disks existed, and verified from qm config (boot: order=ide2;scsi0). After the install, the order was flipped to order=scsi0 — again verified from qm config, not from the screen.

Real completion signal (not "an artifact changed"): 4.2 GB actually written to vm-311-disk-1.qcow2, the installed system booted on its own, and the console showed the PVE banner at https://192.168.0.105:8006/.

Positive observables — all three present:

A1 — PASS.

A2 — claim

Customer created: c10-soak — "Campaign 10 two-storage soak (SCRATCH - delete at teardown)", domain c10.felhom.eu, email nagyfenyvesi.viktor@gmail.com. Deliberately not drill-r50, sess-*, or any existing record.

Appliance 19 bound to it. Hub log, verbatim:

22:50:03 appliance 19 BOUND to customer c10-soak (mode=appliance) — delivery staged for its next poll
22:50:12 appliance credentials DELIVERED once to appliance 19 (passphrase withheld)

The installer's root password stops working at 22:50:49 — day-0 replaces it with a hub-vaulted managed credential (G1 host_recovery). Retrieved via POST /hosts/c10-soak-8a405e/reveal-recovery-credentialroot@pam, 32 chars, stored file→file at ~/.config/campaign10/host-recovery.json (0600), never printed.

Box state after day-0:

felhom-agent 0.119.0                                     (== published+vouched)
/etc/felhom-controller-image : …/felhom-controller:0.188.0 (== golden == main)
guest 9201 c10-soak running
docker: controller 0.188.0 (healthy), traefik v3.6.7, filebrowser 1.3.3-stable (healthy)
block devices: sda 200G, sdb 50G, sdc 50G

Claim gate, the positive discriminator, read over the path the UI uses (traefik on 443, Host: header mandatory — the controller does not listen on 8080; 80 is a 301 to HTTPS):

GET https://127.0.0.1/api/apps  Host: felhom.c10.felhom.eu
→ {"ok":false,"error":"dashboard not yet claimed"}

A2 — BLOCKED on the emailed claim code (R-119, confirmed live again). The code exists only in the customer's mailbox; there is no operator-side route.

Scope constraint found in Phase A — Tier 3 cannot be isolated, so it will not run

The brief's §2 requires the campaign's PBS to be a dedicated datastore and namespace on DooPlex. That is not reachable, for two reasons that are each already-recorded deliberate positions, not new defects:

  1. Offsite hard-requires the DR tier. hub/internal/web/configs.go:1300 refuses offsite without it: "Offsite backup requires the DR tier — enable it first (the escrow ceremony depends on the PBS key)". Closed by policy 2026-07-12 (drill F-6, DR-tier-by-default decisions 3/4).
  2. The DR tier only ever provisions on ep0. Peer allocation and endpoint sync use the lowest endpoint_id only; per-endpoint allocation is an explicitly deferred arc (hub/README.md:260).

So the only two configurations are: DR tier on → the campaign's PBS traffic lands on ep0, which is Tier 2, the offsite of last resort, RAM-constrained (3.8 GB, R-90) and fenced by §3 — or DR tier off → no Tier 3 at all. Chosen: DR tier OFF, offsite OFF, which is the only option §3 permits.

Consequence, stated plainly rather than discovered later: the campaign touches neither ep0 nor the Storage Box at any point — a stronger isolation than the brief asked for, obtained by not running the tier. What is lost: all Tier-3 operations in B1, I8 entirely, and the Tier-3 rows of the RTO/RPO table. Everything else — the two-drive core (R-112/R-113/R-114/R-116/R-117), D5, I1I7 and I9I11 — is unaffected, because those live on the drives and the local/whole-guest tiers.

No R-n minted: per the fences, the register was grepped first and both halves are already recorded (F-6 policy close; the hub/README.md:260 deferral). This is a campaign constraint, not a finding.
