The operator pressed Re-issue PBS credentials and the chain closed in 13 seconds. The
identical click on 2026-07-18 did nothing at all.
hub 08:39:31Z fresh mint, generation 0 -> 1; descriptor gains secret_generation: 1
(token_id + fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL — the invisible re-key shape)
agent 10:39:34 felhom-pbs-apply read felhom-pbs (leg b: the impossible read)
agent 10:39:38 ERROR REJECTED ... applied and DEAD, previous_state=applied
(leg c: the R-39 state, loud)
hub 08:39:45Z consumed_at stamped
agent 10:39:45 one-time token secret consumed (leg a: NO short-circuit)
agent 10:39:45 reconcile (set-only, no --server)
agent 10:39:47 pbsdr: converged state=applied
Corroboration: marker hash moved to afbb3b41… (it was byte-identical to the pre-reissue
marker in the failure); secret mtime 2026-07-18 -> 2026-07-21 10:39:45; new credential
probes 200; three consecutive reports trace applied -> auth_failed -> applied; ZERO
self-heal escalations, one mint, one consume, no consumed-failed.json — the box healed
through the descriptor path before the damper was ever needed.
Recorded for future runbooks: the operator first pressed the OFFSITE re-issue (two
distinct Re-issue actions exist). Harmless to PBS-DR, but it rotated the restic password
and correctly marked the escrow STALE, so the ceremony had to be re-run. Name the surface
explicitly next time.

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.
