admin f3d1ba3062 docs: DIAGNOSE immich offsite restore — findings + ROADMAP R-43/R-44
Viktor deleted 11 immich photos to test offsite restore; both place runs
merged 0 files and flashed success. Two-layered root cause:

- A UI delete means TRASH, not deletion — no file left the disk, so there
  was genuinely nothing missing to restore. The test proved nothing.
- A valid test would also have failed: no offsite path loads a database.
  All three buttons are file-only (offbox_restore.go:171-232, :346-421).
  Files return; the library stays empty. The only DB replay is
  RestoreFromRecoveryUnit, reachable solely from the LOCAL restore panel.

Compounding: the manual push never refreshes dumps (offbox_handlers.go:
203-227) — today's unit dump is from 02:30 and probes to asset:0 / user:0 /
album:0, predating both the admin user and the photos. Had a full restore
loaded it, it would have written an empty DB over the live one, destroying
the trashed rows that were the only surviving recovery path.

Answer to "can a customer trust same-day offsite?" for a DB-indexed app:
no — files come back, content does not.

No product code changed. Photos left in trash (recovery not wanted).
Capability map: customer-restore row stays MISSING by finding, not by
absence of attempt; offsite-restore row flagged scope-contested pending
a ruling on whether CAMPAIGN-6D exercised the DB half.

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 deleted felhom-controller branch fix/m18-dump-validation-cache.)

  • FIX-M19-NOTES.mdderiveStackName misattribution edge (low-incidence correctness). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @ 6bab68b (2026-06-14). (was on the deleted branch fix/m19-stackname-crossref.)

  • FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md — the golden bakes a stale controller (:0.43.0 when queued; had rotted again to :0.85.1 by resolution). FIXED in felhom-agent @ ceca355 (2026-07-03): build-golden.sh v2.0.0 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.
