Nested VM 9310 on felhom-pve (throwaway vmbr9 rig): re-point bridge-ports -> ifreload (0.36s, raises the port itself) -> dhclient lease 3.3s -> hub HTTPS 302 in 160ms; a dead candidate costs exactly its timeout bound (rc=124 at 20s). Bonus finding: the auto-installer picks the NIC that leases and bakes the lease as STATIC — so wrong-NIC boxes come in two variants (192.168.100.2 fallback bake vs truth-changed-after-install), and the gate must trigger on hub-unreachable, never on the fallback signature. Eight design inputs (F-P1..F-P8) recorded for the Part-3 gate. STOP-0 discharged.
