gates / gates (push) Successful in 16s
Golden 0.227.1 baked, vouched, floor raised — and the floor delivered the new job by itself
Second full delivery of the day. golden_currency_gate.py went red -> green on
the same command, so the --no-verify bypass declared on the previous push is now
historical rather than standing.

  GOLDEN_VERSION  0.227.1
  GOLDEN_SHA256   66754491dc9bd0130ef8ded9562f63c53a5ffdcfd91baa551141e55fa083ea32
  size            657 403 203 B
  baked           gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.227.1
  MinAgent        0.129.0  (read from the controller CHANGELOG header, not assumed)

THE EVIDENCE IS THE ROUND TRIP. The published bytes were downloaded back -- size
and sha256 identical to what the bake reported -- and ./etc/felhom-controller-
image was read OUT of the downloaded archive: felhom-controller:0.227.1. That is
the delivered artifact naming the controller it will start, from the bytes a
customer's box would actually fetch.

Markers counted: docker OK (overlay2 = 1, mount point rootfs = 1, mp0 = 1,
upload OK (HTTP 201) = 1; excluding = 0, FATAL = 0, mp1 = 0. 404 pre-gate passed
before the run and the script's own pre-delete agreed, so nothing was
overwritten.

Three-field vouch, all three checked: agent_version 0.130.0 >= min_agent 0.129.0
(NOT the R-216 shape), wrapper_sha256 carried through explicitly because the
handler clears it when omitted. Verified by RE-READING the manifest rather than
trusting the flash. The R-120 gate on that POST passed on its own terms rather
than being worked around.

AND THE LINE WORTH KEEPING. demo-felhom self-updated 0.226.1 -> 0.227.1 in under
30 seconds and then logged:

  [INFO] [scheduler] Daily job offsite-integrity scheduled for 2026-08-31 06:00 CEST

A box nobody deployed to now runs today's off-site integrity check on its own
schedule. That is a floor DELIVERING rather than merely recording, observed
instead of assumed -- and it is the strongest evidence R-242 has carried.

Token hygiene: file->file, read inside the VM by a runner script, never on a
command line (systemctl show ... grep -c -F token = 0). The leak grep on the
committed log was PROVEN TO WORK before its 0 was believed.

Teardown: guest 9100 destroyed --purge, secrets shredded AFTER the log was
copied out, VM powered off, disk reverted to virgin.

R-242 now records the cadence as MEASURED: five convictions and two full bakes
in one day. Every bypass declared, every debt paid -- and the pattern the row
exists to name is exactly that a release and its delivery are separate acts. Its
other half stays open: nothing gates the VOUCH itself.

# Golden bake 0.227.1 — 2026-08-30
Baked, published, round-trip verified, **vouched**, and the fleet floor raised — the second full
delivery of the day, and the first one where a box picked up the new controller **and its new job**
entirely by itself.
## What was produced
| | |
|---|---|
| `GOLDEN_VERSION` | **0.227.1** |
| `GOLDEN_SHA256` | `66754491dc9bd0130ef8ded9562f63c53a5ffdcfd91baa551141e55fa083ea32` |
| size | **657 403 203 B** |
| package URL | `…/api/packages/admin/generic/felhom-golden/0.227.1/golden.tar.zst` |
| baked controller | `gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.227.1` |
| `MinAgent` | **0.129.0** — read from the controller `CHANGELOG.md` header, not assumed |
| script | `build-golden.sh v3.0.0` |
| venue | the drill VM on DooPlex, reverted to `virgin` and **cold-booted** first |
| template | `debian-13-standard_13.6-1_amd64.tar.zst`, after `pveam update` (the virgin snapshot's INDEX is stale too, and the failure reads as a bogus `400 no such template`) |
## Acceptance markers — counted, not eyeballed
```
docker OK (overlay2 : 1 ← " docker OK (overlay2; data-root /var/lib/docker)"
including mount point rootfs : 1
including mount point mp0 : 1
upload OK (HTTP 201) : 1
--- must be ZERO ---
excluding : 0
FATAL : 0
mount point mp1 : 0 ← mp1 stopped existing in build-golden.sh v3.0.0 (R-165)
```
`felhom-controller:0.227.1` appears **4** times in the bake log. **404 pre-gate before the run**, and
the script's own pre-delete reported `HTTP 404 (404/204 expected)` — nothing was overwritten.
## The evidence is the ROUND TRIP, not the build log
```
downloaded size : 657403203 bake reported : 657403203
downloaded sha : 66754491…083ea32 bake reported : 66754491…083ea32
```
**And the delivered artifact was asked what it will start** — `./etc/felhom-controller-image` read
*out of the downloaded archive*:
```
gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:0.227.1
```
That is the golden naming the controller it will run, read from the bytes a customer's box would
actually fetch — not from the build host, and not from the local file.
## The vouch — three fields, all checked
| field | value | why it is right |
|---|---|---|
| `golden_version` | 0.227.1 | baked and round-trip verified above |
| `agent_version` | 0.130.0 | published, and **≥ `min_agent`** |
| `min_agent` | 0.129.0 | read from the golden's controller CHANGELOG header |
`agent_version (0.130.0) ≥ min_agent (0.129.0)` — **not the R-216 shape**, where a floor points above
the agent it is served with. `wrapper_sha256` was carried through explicitly, because the handler
clears it when omitted. **Verified by RE-READING the manifest, not by trusting the flash**: golden
option `0.227.1 SELECTED`, all four shas matching.
The **R-120 gate** on this POST refuses a golden below the newest controller the fleet reports; fleet
newest was 0.227.1 and the golden is 0.227.1, so it passed rather than being bypassed.
## The floor is ACTING, not merely set
Impact preview before the change: `{"below":3,"valid":true,"version":"0.227.1"}`.
**`demo-felhom` self-updated in under 30 seconds and registered the new job by itself:**
```
[INFO] [selfupdate] Post-update startup: update successful (0.226.1 → 0.227.1)
[INFO] [scheduler] Daily job offsite-integrity scheduled for 2026-08-31 06:00 CEST
```
**That second line is the one worth keeping.** A box nobody deployed to now runs the off-site
integrity check on its own schedule — which is the whole point of a floor, observed rather than
assumed. Both demo machines are on 0.227.1; only `demo-hp` was ever touched by hand.
`golden_currency_gate.py` went **red → green** on the same command.
## Token hygiene
Copied **file → file** (`scp`), never crossing a shell on either side; the bake ran through a runner
script inside the VM that reads the token itself, so it never reached a command line or a transient
unit's properties:
```
systemctl show golden-bake -p Environment -p ExecStart | grep -c -F "$(cat /root/.gitea-token)" → 0
```
**The leak grep on the committed log was PROVEN TO WORK before its `0` was believed** — a throwaway
copy with the token appended grepped **1**, was `shred -u`'d, and only then was the real log's **0**
taken as evidence. A `0` from an untested grep is not a measurement.
## Teardown
Build guest `9100` destroyed `--purge`; token, runner, script and log `shred -u`'d **after** the log
was copied out (standing rule 5); VM powered off; disk reverted to `virgin`. Nothing else provisioned:
no hub record, no host record, no storage entry.
