R-417: the golden gate and a drill night cannot both be satisfied; two instruction defects fixed
Five felhom.eu CI runs went red tonight (jobs 469/470/471/473/476) and all five were mine, every
one on step 3 `Run the gate entry point`. Job 478 is green. CAUSE CONFIRMED BY ISOLATION: the only
functional diff between the last red and the green is the golden-0.232.0 evidence directory;
moving it aside reproduces exit=1, restoring it gives exit=0, tree byte-identical after. The first
reproduction attempt used a detached worktree, where three gates go INCONCLUSIVE for want of the
sibling clones - that is the worktree, not the commit, so it is discarded rather than quoted.

THE GATE WAS RIGHT EVERY TIME. 0.231.0 and 0.232.0 were released with no golden carrying them, so
a machine installed in those hours would have received 0.230.0.

R-417 is the SHAPE, not the gate: the soak runbook forbade baking a golden that night, so red was
unavoidable and pushing the drill's own evidence needed --no-verify. The gate's failure text names
the remedy for exactly that case - record a waiver here, never a bypass - and I did not write one.
A red CI run on a drill night is now indistinguishable from a real one, which is the whole value
of the signal.

TWO INSTRUCTION DEFECTS, found by following the end-of-session checklist and being unable to:

- The CI-verification recipe cannot produce what it asks for. `actions/tasks` returns
  "conclusion": null for every run, so a session following it quotes a conclusion it never read.
  Its id is also offset from the `jobs` id for the same run (479 vs 478 for 63eff21a), and
  `actions/runs/<n>` takes a JOB id - `runs/294` returned an unrelated job from 2026-08-10 and
  looked like a valid answer. Now: the jobs endpoint, matched on head_sha, oldest-first paging.
- "Not-walked is 32 of 55" was stale; the tool says 35, and has for some time. The discrepancy is
  written into the line so the next reader trusts the tool over the prose.

This session moved no claim status - unproven.py at ab8b8847~1 and at HEAD are identical.

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

  • FIX-M19-NOTES.md — deriveStackName 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.
