Phase A is the headline and it passed on live hardware, through the real endpoints the UI
posts to: a customer who deletes files — or their entire app data directory — gets everything
back byte-identical, and the app works afterwards (paperless served the restored bytes over
its own API at the exact pre-deletion sha256). A1's two non-destruction promises both hold.
Three defects, recorded not fixed:
C9-F1 (HIGH) the Tier-2 restore button is offered for apps it can never restore, takes a
real outage, and reports "nothing was missing" — indistinguishable from a
genuine result, while 156 MB of that app's data sits unread in the same copy.
C9-F2 (HIGH) an app in a crash loop never alarms on any channel; StateRestarting is in no
down-set, so F-OBS's own heartbeat printed "0 currently down" for 9 minutes.
C9-F3 (MEDIUM) an interrupted offsite run leaves a lock the self-heal cannot reach; the tier
is dead until a human unlocks and the operator is told "unknown reason".
This answers Phase C item 8.
Two candidates were deliberately NOT filed: a recovery-unit poisoning the catalog sync healed
in ~3 min, and a snapshot_id that is documented as logging-only. Reporting either would have
been reporting an artifact.
Stopped at the end of Phase B (plus D10), then full recovery — both boxes healthy, real
cadences, offsite tier proven working again, no leaked scratch guests, peti untouched.
D11's approved staleAfter compression turned out not to be a knob; reported, not worked around.

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.
