B7 — „the box died": destroy, reinstall, re-link, restore from off-site (2026-10-21 08:44–09:40 UTC)
Plan written before: 00-plan.md. Before-record: the 05:36Z household snapshot (01-before/; identical to the evening
one; only backups ran after it). Method: the household's front doors — the public ISO, the bind page in Chromium, the
claim page and the dashboard's own requests; the mailbox for links (one-time link and code read once, stored in sec,
used within minutes).
| UTC | step | observed |
|---|---|---|
| 08:44:37 | the box dies | hard stop + qm destroy 9320 --purge (02-kill.txt) |
| 08:44:55–08:53 | reinstall from the same ISO | pairing screen after ~5 min (screens/b7-install/, code blacked out) |
| ~08:54 | the forgotten press | spent link → „Új linket kérek" → „Kész … néhány percen belül új e-mailt kapsz" — no mail came (control: older mails found). Nothing tells the household to ask Felhom to delete the old box → R-1203 (P2) |
| 08:59 → ~09:11 | ask the operator | asked in the terminal; „Host deleted" ~09:11 (intervention 3, ~12 min) |
| 09:11:21 | new link mail | sent by the hub by itself when the old host was deleted |
| 09:12:10 | bind | „Sikeres összekötés" (05-bind.txt) |
| 09:13:02 | setup-code mail | „Új beállító kód — újratelepült a szervered" |
| 09:33 | guest created | host Tester4-648b80 ONLINE, guest 1/1 (~21 min after the bind) |
| 09:35 | claim | 302 → dashboard (06-claim.txt) |
| 09:36–09:40 | restore from off-site | NOT POSSIBLE for the household (07-dashboard-after-claim.txt) |
What the rebuilt box shows (live proof of R-1176): the same bar as a brand-new box — „A távoli mentés szünetel, amíg nem hozod létre a helyreállítási kódot. Helyreállítási kód létrehozása" — it offers to CREATE a new code, never to ENTER the existing one; the product's own sentence for this case („A korábbi házon kívüli mentéseid visszaszerezhetők…") is not shown; the restore page says „Nem tudjuk elolvasni a távoli tárolót, ezért nem tudjuk, mi van benne … jelezd az üzemeltetőnek". The new code was NOT created: by R-1176 that sets the old history aside on the first night. The box is torn down before any night, so the Storage Box repository keeps the household's history untouched.
Also seen: the rebuilt box's backups page shows the DEAD box's PBS whole-box copy (2026-10-20 14:17) as its own „Utolsó sikeres mentés … Naprakész" — the operator's DR copy, not a household path.
Verdict: the household cannot bring its data back after a box death, even with the operator's press. The data is not gone (off-site repository and the PBS copy remain), but no front door reaches it. The sha256 compare against the manifest could not run. → R-1176 (P1) confirmed live; R-1203 (P2) new.
