GOLDEN_SHA256 39aa886df77b21757aef3b298a389343dc0df5134bb0f14e8f92a451d7bdae87, 656 864 331 B.
The evidence is the ROUND TRIP, not the build log: the published bytes were downloaded back and
match the bake on both size and sha, and ./etc/felhom-controller-image read OUT of the downloaded
archive says felhom-controller:0.229.0 - the delivered artifact naming the controller it will start.
A THIRD independent reader agreed before anything was vouched: the hub's own Day-0 dropdown read the
same sha straight from Gitea, a different code path.
Both pre-gates were proven able to see something before their negative results were believed - the
404 pre-gate against a 200 from 0.228.0, and the token-leak grep against a seeded throwaway copy.
Acceptance markers counted on the COMMITTED log: 1/1/1/1 present, 0/0/0 absent.
The vouch is a three-field change, checked rather than assumed: MinAgent 0.129.0 read from the
golden's controller CHANGELOG header, agent_version 0.130.0 >= min_agent 0.129.0 (not the R-216
shape), agent_sha256 and wrapper_sha256 carried through explicitly because the handler clears a
field it is not sent. Verified by re-reading the manifest, never by trusting the flash. The R-120
gate PASSED rather than being bypassed - fleet newest 0.229.0, golden 0.229.0.
The floor is proven ACTING, not merely set: demo-felhom self-updated 0.228.0 -> 0.229.0 and logged
settle-gate GO at/above floor 0.229.0. Nobody deployed to that box. Both demo machines now carry the
Tier-2 unit restore.
golden_currency_gate.py went red -> green; the --no-verify bypass declared on c2de785 is now
historical. R-242's other half is untouched and still open: nothing gates the VOUCH itself.
Teardown: build guest 9100 destroyed --purge, token/runner/script/log shredded AFTER the log was
copied out, VM powered off, qemu confirmed gone from ps -eo comm, disk reverted to virgin.

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.
