Operator rulings 2026-09-13, both shipped the same day: - MariaDB finishes its own conversion (catalog eec1228/bd32830/3525e35). Harness E3/E3b `proven` with engine_state_after "already upgraded to 12.3.3-MariaDB [exit=1]", the skip line gone, C3 still `failed`; landed on demo-hp through the real 15-min cycle, nothing recreated, one deliberate restart logged "MariaDB upgrade not required" with the app serving. Evidence: documentation/audits/r459-close-2026-09-13/. The engine-major rule + gate keep every engine inside its major until Slice 4 (R-448) — removal tracked as R-469. - Goldens on a cadence, not per release. golden_currency_gate.py reads a dated waiver (documentation/tests/golden-waiver.yml, <= 14 days, row-bound): valid + BEHIND -> loud advisory, exit 0; expired -> red again naming the date; UNRECORDED (R-385) never covered; malformed -> 2, never 0. Tests cases 5-15 incl. the R-421 decoy; red-proof old-vs-new on the real behind tree. R-242's vouch half stays open. Cadence in RUNBOOK-manual-build.md §4.2 + the checklist. - Golden 0.236.0 baked, round-tripped, vouched, floor raised 0.232.0 -> 0.236.0 (documentation/tests/golden-0.236.0-2026-09-13/) — the last per-release bake; the waiver was issued AFTER it landed. No --no-verify anywhere in this session. Rows: R-459 CLOSED, R-467 CLOSED, R-242 narrowed; R-468/R-469/R-470/R-471 opened. 09 §3 gains decisions 5 and 6; STATUS items 11 and 12 closed; CONTEXT records the cadence ruling.

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.
