No VM created, no install run, no box touched. The run stopped at the Phase 0 gate per runbook §3, before provisioning. felhom-host-install.sh does not install what is on main. resolve_artifacts() (:423-436) reads the hub-vouched manifest and fetches Gitea GENERIC PACKAGES (agent :1945, golden :2573). Gitea's newest are agent 0.96.0 and golden 0.161.0; the hub manifest selects exactly those; the global floor v0.156.0 is below the golden's 0.161.0 so nothing self-updates. A fresh box therefore lands on agent 0.96.0 + controller 0.161.0 against main's 0.113.0 / 0.185.1. Agent 0.113.0 reached both demo boxes by direct deploy and is not in the channel at all. Claim impact, each pinned to its introducing commit: - C1 (real rc=0 1.22.0 install) and C2 (Case B natural) — ACHIEVABLE, not run; both are installer-side and host-install is served at 1.22.0. - C3 — BLOCKED: banner + GET /api/storage/backup-target are controller v0.185.1 (cdaeb36), copy v0.185.0 (3f7cf2a). Unblocks cheaply by raising the hub floor to >=0.185.0; measured fleet impact nil (both demo boxes already 0.185.1). - C4 — BLOCKED: needs controller v0.185.1 + agent v0.113.0 (58b598b). - C5 — BLOCKED: needs controller v0.184.0 (c1a63de) + agent v0.112.0. Filed R-111 (P1): 17 unpublished agent releases (v0.97.0-v0.113.0) strand the entire R-82 tiered-backup arc plus F-CRIT-2 and F-REBOOT, so a new customer's box installs without them. Mirror of R-110, not a duplicate. - audits/E2D-fresh-vm-2026-07-29.md — all four Phase 0 answers recorded so a resumed run does not re-derive them (cadence 30s; hot-detach available; ISO present; local-lvm fence re-measured at 38.77%, unchanged). - OPEN-ITEMS.md — R-111 opened; E-2d re-stated, NOT closed. - ROADMAP.md — R-111 under P1. - capability map NOT touched: nothing was proven live. The §5.1a operator STOP is retired — HUB_PW is in ~/.config/credentials and hub auth was verified, so CC can bind on a resumed run.
