gates / gates (push) Successful in 6m46s
docs: the app page's layout, the asset tag, and a version number pushed once (controller v0.316.0)
02-controller-module-map.md "The app page" gains the layout rules [DESIGN] — one column of one
width, a section is a hairline not a card, a box means something (blue = the app is waiting for
you, amber = something is risky, nothing else), the hero is not a box, and a success is not a
banner. Plus the asset-tag rule: every shell's stylesheet address is derived from the BUILD, not
the version, because the origin sends no validator and a cached copy can therefore only expire or
be addressed differently.

09-update-architecture.md gains §0 [DESIGN]: a version number is pushed once. It belongs at the TOP
of that document because everything below it compares versions — the floor moves a box by comparing
a number, the button offers the highest tag, and a box re-pulls a tag only when the tag changes.
Two images under one number is therefore not untidiness; it is a box running the wrong code that
can never be told.

R-1080 filed and closed: 0.315.0 was pushed three times from three different commits. Closed rather
than left open because no box is stranded — exactly one guest ran it and it ran the registry's
current digest, and the floor was 0.314.0 so nothing else could have taken it.

audits/app-page-2026-10-15b/P0/ carries the measurement and its honest caveat: the stale Cloudflare
object is no longer reproducible, because the first probe of the session forced its revalidation.
What is shown is every precondition, the proof an aged entry existed (cf-cache-status EXPIRED), and
the elimination of the only other candidate. The six stylesheet bodies are reduced to their sizes,
sha256s and rule counts — one 99 KB file does not need six copies in git to make the point.

.claude/rules/unprompted-work.md item 6, all four versioned copies: a version number is pushed once,
stated as a FACT about what the build now enforces rather than as a new rule.

STATUS: the operator's one look, through the public address.

# Unprompted work — rules for any session without a task file
> Goal sessions, nightly sessions, "work the register" sessions. **A session that starts from
> `/goal` or a standing brief inherits these rules exactly as it inherits the gates.** They are the
> part of `PROMPT-TEMPLATE.md` that a task file used to carry and a goal does not. Same wording lives
> in `felhom.eu`, `felhom-controller`, `felhom-agent` and `app-catalog-felhom.eu` `.claude/rules/`, and in the workspace
> root's unversioned `.claude/rules/`; change all five or none.
## 1. What you may pick up on your own
- A register row **you or another CC session filed**, with owner CC, at P3 or a bounded P2, that
needs **no operator decision**, touches **no customer data by design**, and introduces **no
mechanism nobody has measured**. Smallest first.
- A defect you find while exercising the product, filed as a row **before** you fix it — **unless it is small**:
a small finding is fixed in the session and never filed (the size rule, `OPEN-ITEMS.md` „How a row is filed").
- Hygiene: register compression, stale citations, rows with no owner, documents that contradict
live source.
**Not yours, ever, without a task file or an operator word:** money; anything that changes risk to
customer data; anything that changes a promise the product makes to a customer; anything that
reverses a documented design decision (`documentation/architecture/` — a design decision is not a
defect, R-370); anything on DooPlex or ep0; baking or vouching a golden; promoting a
catalog version; a new external dependency; **a hub image build or hub deploy in a session the operator does not
attend** (operator ruling 2026-10-07, `09` §3 decision 162).
## 2. When you may decide instead of ask (operator grant, 2026-09-14)
You may take a decision yourself when **all** of these hold: the architecture folder and the register
give a clear direction; your choice follows that direction; it is reversible without customer-data
risk; and you can write it in the `09-update-architecture.md` §3 shape — one answerable sentence, the
options, what each costs, why this one. **Then record it** as a dated decision in `CONTEXT.md` and
the owning architecture document, tagged *decided by CC unattended — operator may reverse*, and put
it **first** in the morning note. A decision you cannot write in that shape is one you do not take.
## 3. The discipline a task file used to carry
1. **Baselines first.** Read each repo's `main` hash and version from live source before touching it.
2. **Read the architecture document for the area, and name it** in the report, before any claim.
3. **Red-proof every correctness fix.** A test never seen failing has not been shown to test anything.
4. **Live-validate on a Tier-0 box** through the endpoints the UI invokes. `demo-hp` is `ssh hp`.
Throwaway apps only; the standing apps and `bentopdf` stay.
5. **Evidence off the machine at the end of each phase**, before any revert (R-320).
6. **One release per repo per session**, with a CHANGELOG entry (controller: with its `MinAgent`
line) and REPORT overwritten. **A controller release needs no golden** (operator ruling 2026-10-15
11:26, `09` §3 decision 250; decision 7 stands): push the image only when it is ready for EVERY box (the
household's update button offers the highest tag); raise the floor, MinAgent declared, only after it ran
on Tester 1, demo-hp and demo-felhom through the normal update path and the box walk's checks are green
on all three — not at night unless the night brief says so. **Agent releases still stop for the
operator's vouch.** The golden is baked weekly and vouched by the operator; CC never vouches. **No `--no-verify`.**
**A version number is pushed once** — `felhom-controller/controller/build.sh` now refuses a second
push of a tag that exists, and a registry it cannot reach is a refusal too. This is a FACT about
what the build does, not a new rule: a fix for something already pushed is the next patch version,
and a box on a bad image is moved by the normal update path, never by re-tagging. Earned on
2026-10-15, when 0.315.0 was pushed three times from three different commits and a cache kept
serving the first one (`09-update-architecture.md` §0).
7. **An enumerated gap becomes a row in the same session — or, if it is small, is fixed in it** (the size rule).
Prose is not a record.
8. **Hungarian text is searched with ASCII fragments**, with a positive and a negative control.
9. **Never leave a half-state.** If time runs out, revert to clean and say what was reverted.
10. **Teardown, three layers, stated** — machine, host, hub — or "provisioned nothing".
11. **Every helper prompt carries the brief's fences in full** (operator ruling 2026-10-07). A helper session (a
subagent, a fork, a workflow agent) gets the brief's fence list word for word — every protected machine, every
„no", every delivery and Docker limit — not a summary and not „the usual fences". Earned on 2026-10-06 night: two
helpers whose prompts carried only part of the fences ran `docker volume prune` on the bench and a Docker-using
gate on DooPlex.
## 4. The morning note
One screen, plain language, in this order: **decisions you took** (§2) first; what you exercised;
what broke and whether you fixed it; rows opened and closed with the register size before and after;
what needs the operator, each with what happens if they do nothing. No file paths, no function
names, no row numbers as the subject of a sentence.
## 5. Instruction files
**Instruction files (`CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/rules/*`) are kept true by the session that finds them wrong**
(operator ruling 2026-10-06, `09` §3 decision 150). A session MAY, without asking: correct a stale fact (a command, a
count, a version, a path, a description of what a gate does), add a fact it proved, and remove a reference to something
that no longer exists. Each edit is named in the report (file, line, before, after, why). A session MAY NOT, without the
operator's word: loosen a safety rule, a fence, a „never", a protected machine, a secret rule, or a review step; or
remove a rule. When in doubt, it is a rule change, and it goes to the operator. If Claude Code's own permission check
asks before such an edit, wait for the operator's click; if it refuses, record that and file the exact line.
## 6. The system poster stays true
**A session that changes a fact listed in `architecture/felhom-system-poster.facts.md` (a machine, a
role, a traffic path, a backup tier, a time, a retention, a key, a known gap) updates that file in
the same commit.** If the change is text only, it also edits the matching text in
`felhom-system-poster.html`. If it needs a new drawing, it adds the line
**"System poster needs a refresh: <what changed>"** to `STATUS.md`'s "waiting on the operator" list.
**The session report names which of the three it did.**
Why the three-way split: the poster is a drawing made in Claude Design, and **nothing in this
repository renders it** — unlike `where-felhom-stands.html`, which has `render_stands.py`. So the
facts file is the source of truth and the drawing trails it. `scripts/poster_facts_gate.py` warns
when the facts file has a newer commit than the poster; it **never fails a push**, because a refresh
needs the operator and another tool, and a gate nobody can clear is a gate people learn to route
around.
