Diagnostic only — no code changed, no version bumped, nothing deployed.
The verdict is a mixture. The unit and the off-site snapshot HOLD the data, proven
by identity in both storage classes including two Hungarian accented filenames. The
loss is in the last leg: ReconstituteFromOffsite skips every isUnit placement and the
volume tars live inside the unit, so the off-site full restore has no named-volume
leg at all — while the local restore-from-unit does, and returned the same tar
byte-identical minutes later.
Twelve rows opened, ceiling R-353 -> R-365. Three HIGH:
R-354 off-site restore never replays volume dumps
R-355 paperless-ngx's Postgres is dumped under a non-existent stack, so its unit
has no DB dump, no safety dump is taken, and the customer is told it has none
R-356 the off-site restore refuses for all 40 no-drive apps saying the running app
"is not installed", with a remedy those apps make impossible
R-353's instruction (2) is satisfied and annotated: the 40-class DOES reach the
off-site tier. Its instruction (1) stands and is now larger. R-329 confirmed still
live and now the only bad-severity emit fleet-wide.

OPEN-ITEMS.md is the register of open work and the file to read first — it holds only what is
open, one row per item, every row with a state and an owner. ROADMAP.md is the full history and
reasoning behind the R-n IDs, including shipped and killed items; an ID is minted there, and a new
instance of an existing item attaches to that ID rather than getting its own.
The rest of this folder: verified-LIVE findings with implementable fix plans that are not yet
implemented. Preserved here
(instead of on git branches) per the trunk-based, no-branches rule — the fix itself is implemented later
directly on main, during a normal/supervised session.
-
FIX-M18-NOTES.md — dump re-validation runs every 5 min (perf). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @
f8afe5c(2026-06-14). (was on the deletedfelhom-controllerbranchfix/m18-dump-validation-cache.) -
FIX-M19-NOTES.md —
deriveStackNamemisattribution edge (low-incidence correctness). FIXED in controller v0.62.0 @6bab68b(2026-06-14). (was on the deleted branchfix/m19-stackname-crossref.) -
FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md — the golden bakes a stale controller (
:0.43.0when queued; had rotted again to:0.85.1by resolution). FIXED in felhom-agent @ceca355(2026-07-03):build-golden.shv2.0.0 makes the controller tag a MANDATORY argument (a required arg cannot rot) and golden 0.98.3 was baked + clean-room-validated (bake → first-boot-current → self-manage → app deploy, on the drill VM — no supervised touch of live guests needed) + published + vouched. Evidence:../audits/DRILL-golden-098-2026-07-03.md.
Related: the live-drive fixspec (../audits/live-drive-fixspec-2026-06-14.md) carries the deferred
supervised items F9 (HDD provisioning/guest-attach), F20-BUG2 (durable_id scheme), F20-BUG3 (async
mkfs) — to be implemented in the agent/golden supervised session.
