Update night 2026-09-21: Phase 0 and Phase 1 evidence, the drill method, and two instrument fixes
INTERIM CHECKPOINT — evidence off the machine at the end of the phase that produced it (R-320),
not at the end of the session. Phases 2-5 follow in a later commit.

Phase 0, all three mechanisms proven with their controls:
- the fleet floor to 0.261.0 with its declared MinAgent — both demo boxes in 13 s, the hub
  logging `managed floor SERVED ... from declared (golden 0.258.0)`.
- a PRIVATE DRILL CATALOG (admin/app-catalog-drill), so that broken, dummy, cross-repo and
  engine-major edges can be measured without the live catalog ever carrying one. Positive
  control quoted, and two negative controls: the live catalog's main and both real boxes'
  caches unchanged.
- a throwaway image store on the scratch guest, which is what makes an UNATTENDED HOLD
  measurable at all: an edge that PASSES the within-a-major test and still fails.
  CompareImageRefs was proven to order host:port/ references by RUNNING it (4 positive cases
  + 1 negative control), not by reading it.

Phase 1: real within-a-major upstream edges walked on guest 9202 through the product's own
guarded Update, each app seeded and read back through its OWN front door (R-156), with a
per-edge verdict record in 09's shape. `inconclusive` is never collapsed into `failed`.

TWO INSTRUMENT FIXES, both in this repo's own evidence code:
- 00-api-recipe.md said the app page is /app/<n>; it is /apps/<n>, and every call it described
  404s. Corrected, with the session-expiry note that cost the same time.
- unattended-caller.py's follow() read update_phase/updating off the API ENVELOPE, so both were
  always None and EVERY followed update ran to its 900 s timeout and was then recorded
  `timeout` and never-press-again. Fixed before B1 relied on it. R-623.

No controller, agent or hub code was written. The live catalog carries no broken reference.

Gates: repo_gates.py --fast — all 15 OK, exit 0.

"""engine_edge.py — Phase 2: a DATABASE ENGINE across a major, through the real Update button.
engine_edge.py nextcloud mariadb:11.6 mariadb:12.3 --engine mariadb --container nextcloud-db
engine_edge.py docmost postgres:16-alpine postgres:17-alpine --engine postgres --container docmost-postgres
The app image does NOT move. Only the engine sidecar. `09` §3b Q3: the within-a-major test is per
SERVICE, so this edge is ACROSS whatever the app's own number says — and it carries exactly one
migration, which is the whole reason the arc's standing rule gives an engine change its own edge.
THE TWO ENGINES FAIL IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, so one check will not do (`09` §"Database engines"):
MariaDB starts anyway and can skip the conversion QUIETLY -> ASK THE ENGINE, not the log
PostgreSQL REFUSES to start on an older major's datadir -> the refusal line, verbatim
`engine_state_after` is reported BESIDE the verdict, never inside it: an unconverted datadir is not
*known* to be a failure and a verdict that said so would encode an unproven judgement.
