# ROADMAP — future features & open work

> **What this is:** the prioritized decision log of planned/open work. Items are *intentions*, not
> claims about live behavior — the capability map (`architecture/00-capability-map.md`) is the only
> place that states what the platform does today.
>
> **Lifecycle:** idea → spiked → spec'd → in-progress → **shipped** (item collapses to a one-liner
> with the version, and the corresponding capability-map row changes status with evidence). Items
> can also be **killed** (keep the one-liner + why — decisions are worth remembering).
>
> **Coupling rule:** every item names the capability-map row(s) it flips. Every map gap row points
> back here by ID. Neither file duplicates the other's content.
>
> **Priorities:** P1 = closed-alpha blocker · P2 = close during alpha · P3 = post-alpha.
> Existing loose notes in this folder (`FOLLOWUP-*`, `FIX-M*`) are absorbed as references below.

## P1 — closed-alpha blockers

| ID | Item | Size | Status | Notes / map rows flipped |
|----|------|------|--------|--------------------------|
| R-1 | **Peti convergence** — *the appliance half is DONE; this item is now Peti-only.* **Rehearsal EXECUTED 2026-07-18** (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`): the full final-product flow ran on real metal in one pass (RESET → generic ISO → **customer self-bind** → day-0 → floor lift → escrow ceremony → offsite snapshots), which retires the "supervised rehearsal" dependency that R-13/R-21/R-23/R-24/R-27/R-28 were all parked behind. **Surviving half: Peti's clean-slate proxmox2 reinstall + the parked publish trains on a REAL REMOTE customer** — the one thing a demo box on the operator's own LAN can never prove. | L | **rehearsal DONE; Peti half open** | Flips: publish train PARTIAL→PROVEN-LIVE; appliance/BYO/day-0 "real customer" notes; escrow ceremony. The single biggest unproven surface — an alpha where fixes can't ship remotely is dead. **Reinstall arc SHIPPED hub v0.57.0 (2026-07-16):** the clean-slate reinstall-of-existing-customer path is now first-class — claim re-issue (F2), offsite re-issue (F3), escrow-honesty-on-re-issue (2.3) all auto-fire on re-enrollment. Peti's proxmox2 clean-slate now walks a supported path |
| R-2 | ~~Resolve ~215 lines of foreign WIP in felhom.eu clone (`hub/internal/notify/`, `store.go`, `hub/internal/claim/`)~~ | S | **killed** (2026-07-16) | Not a real issue: the "foreign WIP" was in-flight code from a concurrent CC session on the customer-claim arc, snapshotted before it committed. All of it landed cleanly — `notify/`+`claim/engine.go` in `6b40eb8` (v0.50.0), `store.go` in `a1d0450` (v0.54.0), plus follow-up `e205a2d`; v0.55.0 shipped. Working tree is clean, no stashes. Lesson already codified: never run two writing sessions on one felhom.eu clone (CLAUDE.md §git add -A) |
| R-3 | Friend-alpha onboarding runbook (generalized from `pilot/RUNBOOK-peti-return-2026-07-13`): hardware prep → golden → install → claim → ceremony → "first restore by the customer" scripted step | M | idea | Flips: "customer performs a restore" MISSING row; produces the tester-agreement sibling of `PETI-tester-agreement.md`. **Next from-scratch rehearsal to include customer DELETE + re-create** — the ESCROW cascade is now DEFINED (hub v0.60.1): host delete DEMOTES escrow to retained custody (never destroys), customer Danger-zone delete PURGES it (the one true purge point). **S6b (manual stale-host delete before re-enroll) is OBSOLETE** — re-enrollment upserts the existing host row cleanly (`store.UpsertHost` ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE; `handleAdminCreateHost` no duplicate refusal) + the v0.57.0 arc auto-fires the re-issues; the rehearsal live-confirms it. **NON-escrow offboarding NOW ANSWERED by the middle-tier Customer RESET (hub v0.61.0, LIVE):** one operator action deprovisions the Hetzner sub-account/box (repo data destroyed), destroys the PBS namespace + backup groups + token, clears the DR recipe / one-time secret / claim state / retained escrow custody (separate ack) — identity + basic config survive. WG peer release rides host delete (peers are host-scoped, gone before RESET runs — RESET refuses while any host row exists). **Remaining consistency gap:** the customer Danger-zone DELETE still leaves host rows and does NOT run the offsite/PBS teardown (RESET is the teardown path; DELETE is escrow-purge + config-drop). Decide whether DELETE should require a prior RESET (or subsume it) — new item R-25b |
| R-4 | Claim-code deliverability: test-send to gmail.com / freemail.hu / citromail.hu / t-online.hu; tighten DMARC `p=none` → `p=quarantine` (pending since email.md 02-04) | S | **DNS half DONE + gmail half DONE (2026-07-18); freemail.hu open** | A claim code in spam bricks onboarding at step 1. **DMARC now `p=quarantine`** (`RUNBOOK-publish-0.90-0.143-2026-07-18` Phase 4): `_dmarc.felhom.eu` TXT `v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:admin@felhom.eu` set by Viktor (CF, Path B); `dig` gate green (1.1.1.1 + 8.8.8.8). Alignment safe (SES/Resend DKIM `d=felhom.eu` + relaxed `send.` SPF). **gmail half CLOSED by the rehearsal (2026-07-18):** the run's claim email was the first sent under `p=quarantine` and **landed in the gmail Inbox, not spam** (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`). **Remaining: the freemail.hu test-send** (Viktor, remote-doable, `dmarc=pass` check) |

## P2 — during alpha

> **Sub-rank `P2-HIGH` = close before the first REMOTE tester.** These are the 2026-07-18 N100
> rehearsal's findings (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`). They are not P1 — the
> rehearsal proved the product flow works — but each one either misleads the operator, misleads the
> customer, or hides a failure, and all of that gets materially worse the moment the box is somewhere
> you cannot walk over to.

| ID | Item | Size | Status | Notes |
|----|------|------|--------|-------|
| R-39 | **[P2-HIGH] The PBS DR tier can be `applied` and dead at the same time — and nothing notices.** On the reborn N100 the descriptor auto-provisioned and the agent converged `state=applied`, yet `pvesm status` reports `felhom-pbs: error fetching datastores - 401 Unauthorized` / `inactive` and a direct probe with the stored credential 401s on **every** endpoint including `/version` (WG transport healthy: handshake 9 s, 27.9 ms RTT — so authentication, not ACL scope). Three compounding defects: **(a)** a **mint/consume race** — the hub minted a SECOND token secret at 16:47:52, two minutes *after* the agent applied the first, and `consumed_at` is still NULL; **(b)** the converged state machine will not re-apply, so the box is pinned to a stale secret; **(c)** the agent's 15-minute PBS verify loop **cannot read the credential to detect any of it** (`open /etc/pve/priv/storage/felhom-pbs.pw: permission denied` — the non-root agent writes that file through a root sudo wrapper, then reads it directly). | M | **diagnosed + box healed 2026-07-18; FLEET FIX PENDING SPEC** | **DIAGNOSIS (2026-07-18, live on the N100 — supersedes the initial hypothesis).** The brief guessed "the re-mint fails to bump the generation". **That is FALSE and no hub fix was shipped:** `store.SetHostDesired` bumps `desired_generation` unconditionally (it went 2→3 on the re-issue), and `web/configs.go`'s `applyPBSDR` is likewise exonerated — its "no re-key, no second secret, no spurious generation bump" comment is accurate, guarded by the `cur != nil && cur.Namespace != ""` early return, and the hub log shows mint #2 came from the **re-issue** path, not from an Edit-tab Save. **The real mechanism is a signal mismatch between the two tiers.** The hub's re-consume signal is *a generation bump + a poke*; the agent's re-apply trigger is *a change in the DESCRIPTOR CONTENT HASH* (`felhom-agent internal/pbsdr/manager.go` ~L235: `if mk := m.loadMarker(); mk != nil && mk.Hash == h && (cf == nil || cf.Hash != h) { return }`). An ep0 credential re-issue re-keys the **secret of an existing token**, so `token_id` and `fingerprint` are unchanged and the descriptor is **byte-identical** — only the side-table `host_pbs_secrets` row rotates. Same hash → the converged agent short-circuits → the fresh secret is never consumed → the box keeps presenting a revoked credential → **401 forever**. Proof in one line: the agent's `consumed-failed.json` carries hash `a4e5424…`, **identical** to the `marker.json` written 2 min before the re-issue. The comment at `hub/internal/web/pbsdr.go:320` asserts the reissue refreshes the descriptor "with the NEW token_id/fingerprint" — that assumption is simply false for this op. **A SECOND, independent defect was found while healing** and is fixed: `configs/felhom-pbs-apply`'s `reconcile` passed `--server` to `pvesm set`, which PVE rejects wholesale as a create-only parameter, so *every* re-apply exited 255 — and because the agent consumes the one-time secret BEFORE calling the wrapper, each re-issue **burned a credential**. Fixed in **agent v0.90.1** (one argv line + red-proof `TestReconcileNeverPassesServerToPvesmSet`); proven live (`pvesm set --server <same>` rejected, without it rc 0). **BOX HEALED 2026-07-18:** after the wrapper hotfix, Viktor's Re-issue click converged in 9 s and the tier went `401/inactive` → **`active`** (token probe 401 → 200) with a real backup landing PBS-side — `felhom-pbs:backup/ct/9201/2026-07-18T18:31:06Z`, 9 744 319 312 B, encrypted under the escrowed key. **REMAINING (fleet, needs its own spec — deliberately NOT improvised):** (a) make a fresh unconsumed secret actually un-converge the agent — either `consumed_at` becomes authoritative or the descriptor carries a secret generation/nonce so the hash moves; (b) fix the verify loop's read path — it reads `/etc/pve/priv/storage/<id>.pw` **directly as non-root**, a file it can only ever *write* through the root wrapper (`/etc/pve/priv` is `0700 root:www-data`; sudoers exposes `create|reconcile|grant` and **no read verb**), so the one loop that could catch this is permanently blind; (c) an auth probe in the reconciler/gauge/ceremony-precheck so `applied` can never mean `401`. — **Original finding note:** discovered by CC while collecting Phase-A evidence; not on the brief's finding list, so its P2-HIGH rank is provisional pending Viktor. The severity case: this is the DR tier, the failure is silent, and it would surface first at a real restore. Suggested shape: make `consumed_at` authoritative (a fresh unconsumed secret must un-converge the reconciler), fix the verify loop's read path (read via the same root wrapper that writes it), and make a failing `pvesm status` a LOUD state rather than a skipped datastore. **Blocks the DR-tier map row's candidate upgrade to PROVEN-LIVE — that upgrade is now explicitly WITHDRAWN.** Evidence `pbs-dr-state.txt`, `hub-state.txt` |
| R-30 | **[P2-HIGH] Liveness presence should come from the wait channel, not the report clock.** The box was powered off at the start of the rehearsal, yet the hub carried it as healthy until the staleness threshold expired ~30 min later (`host_stale` 16:05:24 "no report for 30m"; cleared 16:33:24 "was stale for 27m"). The host-delete guard compounds it: RESET refuses while any host row exists, so a stale-but-"Online" host stalls a forced teardown. | M | idea | Direction: derive presence from **Dir-2 long-poll connectedness (~90 s grace)**, decoupled from notification hysteresis (the hysteresis is right for *alerting*, wrong for *presence*); an agent/ep0 analog can follow. Pairs with R-13/R-23 — the transport already exists, this is about believing it. *(Discussed in-session as "R-29"; that number was already taken by the gate-rot item earlier the same day, so it is R-30.)* |
| R-31 | **[P2-HIGH] Offsite provisioning is synchronous with no status affordance.** Save runs the Hetzner sync in-request, so the request can hit the nginx 504 **while succeeding server-side**: the operator cannot tell failed from slow, and a retry races the first attempt. | M | idea | Direction: make it async + a status card, reusing the proven **awaiting-card/poll idiom** (v0.138.0 escrow card). **Interim mitigation belongs in R-3 as an operator note: click once, wait, verify — do not re-click.** |
| R-32 | **[P2-HIGH] RESET must purge the customer base dir; the orphan card must stay honest; unattributed bytes must be visible.** The rehearsal's S7 said in advance that an orphan card would BE a finding — and one appeared (16:58:14). Cause: RESET's `"hetzner":"ok"` leg destroys the sub-account, but **a Hetzner sub-account is an access-control object, not a data object** — its directory survives, so re-enabling offsite recreated an account over the previous lifecycle's ciphertext, encrypted under a key that same RESET had destroyed. | M | idea | **Ruling from the run (three parts, deliberately separate):** (1) because RESET destroys custody, the ciphertext it leaves behind is unrecoverable **BY DESIGN** → RESET gains a **main-account purge of the customer base dir** (the existing operator ack already covers it); (2) the **move-aside guard STAYS** for reinstall-*without*-RESET — there custody survives and the card's "history recoverable" promise is true (R-26 depends on exactly that); (3) the operator **Restic tab shows per-customer directory bytes vs attributed snapshot bytes**, so dead data cannot hide. Measured on the pool box that night: **49 M attributed** (2 snapshots, 48.717 MiB) against **1.4 G + 3.0 M unattributed** across TWO `.orphaned-*` dirs. Evidence `restic-and-pool.txt` |
| R-33 | **[P2-HIGH] Bootstrap pairing-poll spams the customer-visible console.** Each 30 s pairing poll is a separate `felhom-bootstrap.service` run that exits 1, so systemd prints `Failed to start …` on the screen the customer is watching — **52 FAILED lines in ~11 minutes** while nothing was wrong (the box was correctly waiting to be bound). | S | **SHIPPED (scripts v1.21.0, 2026-07-18)** | `run_pairing()` is now a `while true` loop sleeping `POLL_INTERVAL` (30s — the hub-side rate is unchanged) instead of exiting non-zero per poll, so the unit sits in `activating` and systemd prints nothing. Registration split into `register_appliance()`, whose transient failures the loop retries rather than taking the unit down. The journal is quiet without going dark: the wait is logged once on entry (worded so nobody reads it as an error), then on a 10-min heartbeat with elapsed minutes; `410` still exits non-zero on purpose (delivery consumed but no local env is a real crash window). Console banner every 5 min instead of every cycle, single accented spelling, plus the reassurance the rehearsal showed was missing („Ez a képernyő magától frissül"). **The load-bearing half is `TimeoutStartSec=infinity` in the unit** — a `Type=oneshot` ExecStart is killed at `DefaultTimeoutStartSec` (90s), so without it systemd would kill the new wait and `Restart=on-failure` would silently reinstate the exact spam this removes, *after appearing to work for the first three polls*. Verified behaviourally in a container against a stub hub answering 204 five times then delivering: **one log line plus one heartbeat, zero exits between polls**, then a clean fall-through to the direct install and `exit 0` — where the old design produced 5 unit invocations and 5 `Failed to start` console lines. ISOs rebuilt at v1.21.0 and the shipped payload verified byte-identical to the committed source. Evidence `bootstrap-journal.txt`; ship commit `bcdb042` |
| R-5 | Hub: offsite storage visibility — RESTIC box aggregate (v0.64.0) + PBS DR datastore (v0.65.0), each with fill + operator alert; Offsite tabs + dual dashboard gauges | M | **SHIPPED (hub v0.64.0 + v0.65.0 + tenantsync v1.2.0, 2026-07-17)** | Restic: `monitor.OffsiteBoxChecker` (throttled Hetzner GET; fill 80/90% + oversub 2.0×; scope `"pool-box"`). PBS DR (v0.65.0, Option A): read-only `usage` op on the ep0 `felhom-tenantsync` forced command (`df`, no mutation) → `monitor.PBSDRBoxChecker` (fill 80/90%, states ok/unavailable/degraded, scope `"pbsdr-box"`); `/offsite` Restic/PBS-DR tabs + two gauges; hub deploy ⟂ ep0 update (graceful "n/a"). **Both data pipelines PROVEN-LIVE** (restic `0.2% full`; PBS `19.1% full, 7.1 GB of 37.2 GB` after ep0 → v1.2.0). Thresholds pending Viktor (named keys; separate restic/PBS pairs). OPEN: UI render unit-only (password-gated), alert emails unit + red-proof only (both nominal). See hub v0.64.0 + v0.65.0 REPORTs |
| R-6 | **Spike: LAN service discovery from the guest** — SSDP multicast (UDP 1900, DLNA), WSD (Windows discovery), mDNS; host-network vs macvlan; is the customer LXC LAN-bridged in appliance deployments? | M | **spiked (2026-07-18)** | **VERDICT: appliance guest IS LAN-bridged (own DHCP lease on the household /24); multicast discovery works ONLY in the guest netns — guest-direct or Docker `--network host` (SSDP/mDNS/WSD all PASS both ways); the default docker bridge is categorically DEAF to LAN multicast (WSD/mDNS RX FAIL, unicast-publish PASS). Real samba+wsdd on host-net → Windows 11 ProbeMatch + FELHOM-SPIKE renders in Explorer + 445 + authenticated SMB round-trip all PASS; real SSDP `MediaServer:1` advert reaches both LAN clients. → R-7 SMB stack MUST be host-network LAN-bound; R-8 Jellyfin-DLNA plausible if host-network. Caveat: `vmbr0 multicast_snooping=1` worked only because the household router is a live querier — customer LANs w/ snooping+no-querier, and Peti's BYO bridge, are UNTESTED gaps.** **S4b (human leg, the sharpest finding): wsdd makes the box VISIBLE but the Explorer double-click FAILS `0x80070035` — WSD gives no name resolution; the flat `\\FELHOM-SPIKE` resolved by no path. Adding `nmbd` (NetBIOS) fixed it live (flat name resolves + mounts). → R-7 needs smbd+wsdd+nmbd (+avahi/.local for modern clients), not wsdd alone.** Doc: `audits/SPIKE-lan-discovery-2026-07-18.md`. |
| R-7 | SMB **server** share — LAN file sharing as an embedded controller feature („Megosztás") | L | **SHIPPED slice 1 (controller v0.144.0 + `felhom-samba:1.0.0`, 2026-07-18)** | Flips map row *Files from Windows Explorer / Mac Finder (SMB server)* MISSING → **IMPLEMENTED**. Delivered as the FOURTH protected infra stack (host-net, smbd+**nmbd**+wsdd, `bind interfaces only = lo eth0`), NOT a catalog app. „Megosztás" → „Hálózati megosztás": enable + ONE household password (STDIN→smbpasswd, never persisted — only `user_set`), shares table, create flow (new folder under `<storage>/shares/` or an existing folder via a guarded picker). Picker guard = absolute → EvalSymlinks → containment in a registered LIVE root → deny-listed system subtree (derived from `ProtectedHDDPaths`, provably a subset) → is-a-dir, with UNIFORM refusals (no filesystem oracle). Per-share read-only enforced in smb.conf AND as a `:ro` bind. `force user = felhom` → SMB writes land as uid 1000. Live-validated on demo through the real endpoints + a Win11 workstation (445 True, NetBIOS `FELHOM` resolves, write/read byte-compare PASS, **write to a read-only share REFUSED**, WSD ProbeMatch). **Explorer leg PASSED 2026-07-18 (Viktor):** both shares open from the Network view; an Explorer save into the writable share landed as uid 1000 and a write into the read-only share was refused, folder untouched. Slice 1 is fully PROVEN-LIVE. Docs: `controller/sharing.md`; ship report `felhom-controller/REPORT.md`. **Slice 2 remainder:** avahi/`.local` for modern+Apple clients, curated app-folder presets (one-click paperless `consume/`), per-share users + guest access, recycle bin. **Backup gap split out → R-7b.** |
| R-7b | **Share backup EXECUTION** — put share data into the live tier-2 + offsite runs (the design fork reported by R-7 slice 1) | M | **SHIPPED (controller v0.145.0, 2026-07-18)** | **Viktor's ruling: Model B′ — a SIBLING shares source.** New, additive job/leg code reusing the proven primitives (tier-2 mirror seam, restic wrappers, soft-quota/enlargement gate, status recorders) while leaving **every per-app engine path byte-identical** — NOT a synthetic recovery unit (breaks on multi-drive shares, wraps 1 KB of JSON in dump machinery) and NOT engine-loop surgery. The B′ invariant is enforced by test in both tiers, red-proofed. Tier 2 → `RunSharesTier2` (legs grouped by SOURCE drive → `backups/secondary/_shares/<driveKey>/<share>`, payload at `_payload/`, layout marker LAST). Tier 3 → `runOffboxSharesLeg`: ONE extra `restic backup --tag felhom-offbox --tag _shares` placed after the app loop and BEFORE retention, so `forget --group-by host,tags` covers the new group with no flag change; a quota-blocked push degrades to the **manifest only, never to nothing**. Restore → „Megosztások" on `/backups/restore`: scratch, then a missing-only merge whose every destination is PREFIX-ASSERTED against live storage roots, definitions merged existing-wins, then `ReconcileSamba`, then the credential. The **payload** (`_shares-manifest.json` + a best-effort secret-bearing `passdb.tar`) is what makes DR return files + configuration + password rather than loose bytes. **Fold-in: samba joins the liveness set** — `EffectiveProtected` adds the CONTAINER `felhom-samba` exactly while sharing is on. **FULLY PROVEN-LIVE on demo (2026-07-18), all four legs.** (1) tier-2: real `/api/backup/tier2` trigger → `_shares` tree + marker + payload on the cross-drive target, mirrored file md5-identical, payload 0600 preserved. (2) offsite: Viktor's manual run 12:18:16Z → snapshot **`e0b9d723`** (tags `felhom-offbox,_shares`) with the payload dir + both share folders; a second run via the „Távoli mentés" button → **`4e2b15ec`**, containing `_shares-manifest.json` (418 B) AND `passdb.tar` (855 040 B), both 0600, share files with uid 1000 preserved. (3) restore round-trip: probe file + the `dokumentumok` DEFINITION deleted via the real endpoints, then „Megosztások" restore + place → `1 file(s), 1 definition(s) re-added, 1 kept, 0 refused, credential=true`; probe back md5-identical, the two pre-existing files NOT overwritten (missing-only proven on live data), definition back with its ORIGINAL flags and created_at, `smb.conf` re-rendered, `filmek` untouched. (4) liveness: samba stopped → `health_critical` pushed and hub-accepted (200) → self-healed. Remaining human leg: SMB positive auth with the real household password (never persisted by design). **Correction:** an earlier revision of this row and of the ship REPORT wrongly claimed the demo box had no offsite target — the verification read a guessed settings key (`offbox_target`) instead of the real one (`offbox`); root cause dissected in REPORT §7b. Findings: the reserved-name assumption was FALSE (`nbNameRe` accepted „_shares" as a share name — now refused); the alert/e-mail pipeline needed NO change and adds no new event type. Docs: `controller/sharing.md`; ship report `felhom-controller/REPORT.md`. |
| R-8 | DLNA (**gate input now exists — R-6 spiked 2026-07-18: SSDP reaches LAN clients from host-net**): validate Jellyfin's built-in DLNA server first; only add minidlna to the catalog if Jellyfin-DLNA fails | S | idea (unblocked) | Don't add catalog weight before proving the cheap path. **R-6 confirmed the cheap path is physically viable — Jellyfin DLNA must run host-network (same multicast constraint as R-7)** |
| R-9 | Uninstaller trio (from 07-15 Peti session): cluster-aware `felhom_guests` guard (node-local `pct list` deletes cluster-wide pveum objects); saferemove detection + time estimate + opt-in `--quick-remove` (never mutate `storage.cfg`); smarter `restore_storage` default for BYO clusters (shared storage, not local-lvm) | M | idea | Second item's rejected alternative (temp-disable-and-restore) stays rejected — crash window silently downgrades cluster wipe policy |

No interactive prompt or post-install hand-edit — fully automatic. Doc-drift note: the L193–197 "EMPTY by default" comment is stale vs the now-populated constants (→ R-16 hygiene) |
| R-23 | **Immediate-sync Direction-2 follow-ups** (hub v0.58 / controller v0.140, 2026-07-16): **(a) — MOSTLY BANKED 2026-07-20.** The operator-UI save->apply round trip is PROVEN: the STOP-2 global-floor save (hub `18:56:27 CEST`) released the controller's held wait in the **same second** (`16:56:27Z wait woke: generation=1 - firing out-of-cycle report`), with the report built 2 s later; the ring also shows `wait baseline generation=0` at startup (baseline recorded WITHOUT firing, as designed) then `generation=1`, so the generation advanced past 0. **STILL OPEN: the self-restart single-fire leg** - the floor was set to a version the box ALREADY ran, so there was no work and no restart. Finish by bumping the floor to a version the box does NOT run, debug ring open, asserting EXACTLY ONE restart. **Trap found while banking this: the wake is `logx.Debugf`, so it is INVISIBLE in `docker logs` at INFO** and lives only in the debug ring (`GET /api/debug/logs?level=DEBUG`) - a hunter looking at stdout wrongly concludes the box never woke; arguably (b) generalised. (b) cosmetic: the Waiter's "recovered" INFO logs on the next hold completion (`pollOnce` blocks ~240 s), not at reconnect | S | **(a) mostly banked; restart leg + (b) open** | Flips the map row "config/state change round-trips in seconds" PARTIAL->PROVEN-LIVE once the restart leg lands.

| R-34 | **Backup data lifecycle management.** An "inactive backups" section on „Távoli mentés": apps that have snapshots but no active backup — **disabled OR uninstalled** — listed with name / size / last snapshot / restorable, plus an explicit **double-confirmed per-app delete** via `restic forget --tag` + nightly prune. | M | idea | **RULING: the offsite toggle NEVER offers deletion — policy and destruction stay decoupled.** Turning backups off must never be a data-destroying act, and deletion must never hide behind a toggle. Origin: 2026-07-18 rehearsal. Pairs with R-32 (that one is the operator's view of dead bytes; this one is the customer's) |
| R-35 | **Config-apply should not end the customer's session.** The offsite config push bumped `config_version` 10→11 at 16:54:58 and the controller self-restarted (container `StartedAt` 16:54:59Z, back up 16:55:02); in-memory sessions died with it and **customer zero was force-logged-out mid-flow**. | S | idea | Direction: **hot-apply the offbox target** (no restart for a config the running process can adopt), or **persist sessions** across restart. The restart itself is by design — the collateral is not. Evidence `controller-log-full.txt` |
| R-36 | **Post-RESET re-enroll leaves offsite "enabled but unprovisioned" — silently.** The hub knows the state and says nothing on the customer page. | S | **SHIPPED (hub v0.67.0, 2026-07-18)** | Both halves delivered. **(1) The warning:** the customer page now names the state and the fix — enabled-but-unprovisioned raises an amber banner saying provisioning is *Save*-triggered (press Save once, then verify), reusing the exact `enabled && type == ""` predicate the offsite re-issue handler already refuses on. **(2) The related sub-item, also done:** the self-bind link is now **auto-minted at customer creation AND at RESET completion**, so the console banner's „e-mailben kapott link" is already true instead of true-once-the-operator-remembers. Extracting the shared `mintAndSendSelfBindLink` core keeps the button and the auto-mint callers on the same F1/F2 honesty rules, and the auto-mint never fails the operation it rides on. **Gap found and closed while wiring it:** `PurgeCustomerResetDBState` does NOT clear `selfbind_tokens`, so a link minted BEFORE a reset would have stayed live across it — the skip paths now clear stale tokens, giving the invariant "after auto-mint, the only live link is one we just issued, or none". Tests assert the banner is ABSENT in all three nominal cases too; red-proofed. — Original analysis: Source-cited behaviour, confirmed live in the rehearsal: **provisioning is Save-triggered** (`configs.go` `applyOffsite`) — which also answers S6's open question — and the re-enroll auto-re-issue **correctly** skips unprovisioned targets (`handler.go`). So nothing is broken; the gap is that nobody is told. Direction: flash it on the customer page. **Interim: an R-3 step.** **Related sub-item:** auto-mint the **self-bind link on customer create/RESET**, so the console banner's „e-mailben kapott link" is always already true instead of true-once-the-operator-remembers |
| R-27c | **Customer self-bind, slice 2 — console-passphrase bind.** Viktor's direction: bind using a passphrase shown on the box console, alongside (not instead of) the emailed capability link. | M | idea | **Security constraints from the session ruling, all load-bearing:** passphrase **issued at customer creation**; the global-lookup endpoint must be **spray-hardened** — per-appliance **and** per-IP caps, constant-time comparison, a **single generic failure** (no oracle), alerting on abuse; an **accent-free wordlist** (console keymaps are not Hungarian); the **web capability-link path is RETAINED**; **claim-by-email is RETAINED** as the delivery-channel proof. **Also under this item:** the self-bind email gains the **public universal-ISO download link + two-line instructions** (the DIY case). **Secret-bearing per-customer ISOs are ruled OUT.** Sibling of R-27b (second-box flow) — different axis, both build on the same `/bind/` page |
| R-50 | **[P2-HIGH] Island-bridge control plane — make controller↔agent independent of the LAN.** The agent's `localapi` binds a **LAN literal** (`listen_addr`) and the guest dials that same literal from `bootstrap.json`. Move both onto a **host-internal bridge with a fixed, private address** that no router, DHCP lease, or site move can invalidate, so the control plane is location-independent and golden-image-stable. | M | **idea — SPIKE-FIRST** | Origin: `audits/AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20.md` (F1), where this failed for real. The demo box moved to a remote site, DHCP handed it `.147` instead of `.162`, and the agent then **could not start at all** — `bind: cannot assign requested address`, systemd gave up after 4 retries — taking storage, PBS backup, quiesce, restore-test and DR down for as long as nobody noticed. Mitigated for that window by pinning `vmbr0` static back to `.162`; that is a **window mitigation, not the fix** — it still depends on the site's subnet being `192.168.0.0/24` and free at that address. **Spike-first is mandatory:** validate end-to-end on the drill environment (agent bind + guest dial + TLS SAN/pin + reinstall/golden survival + the bootstrap-config migration for already-deployed boxes) BEFORE any production spec. **Pin fact (verified 2026-07-20, `agentapi/client.go` L105-129 — supersedes the earlier "the SAN set must cover the new address" note in this entry, which was wrong):** the controller-to-agent leg sets `InsecureSkipVerify: true` and replaces chain verification with a custom `VerifyPeerCertificate` that does a raw **SHA-256 match on the leaf DER** against the bootstrap fingerprint. Hostname/SAN therefore never enters verification on this leg, so moving the agent listen address most likely needs **no cert re-issuance** - only the endpoint the guest dials. The spike must still confirm this empirically rather than trust the read. Flips a future "box survives a site/network change" map row |
| R-51 | **Dead-primary alerting — a multi-container app whose MAIN container is dead must alert.** Aggregation currently classifies such a stack `unhealthy`, and `IsDownState` deliberately excludes `unhealthy`, so nothing fires. | S | idea | Origin: `AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20.md` (F4). Observed live: `immich-server` was `Exited` for **18 h** with the app 100 % unreachable, and the box produced **no** dead-app banner and **no** `app_start_failed` hub event — while single-container Calibre-Web, down for the same reason, alerted correctly within 90 s. **Constraint (load-bearing): do NOT simply fold `unhealthy` into down.** That exclusion is deliberate (`stacks/manager.go` fix-3, `downstate_test.go`) and reverting it reintroduces the flapping it was added to stop. Direction: distinguish *member-container-exited* from *healthcheck-failing* in the aggregation, and treat a dead primary as down |
| R-52 | **Boot desired-state reconciliation — a `deployed: true` app should be running after boot.** The controller *reports* deployed-but-stopped apps (30 s `deadapp-check`) but never starts them, so an app that misses its boot start stays down until a human notices. | M | idea | Origin: `AUDIT-vacation-remote-ops-2026-07-20.md` (F5). Observed live: the pre-transport shutdown left `immich-server` and `calibre-web` `Exited`; **10 sibling containers came back and those two did not**, and they were still down ~18 h later. **Includes root-causing why `restart: unless-stopped` did not resurrect them** — both were stopped ~25 s before power-off, so Docker most likely recorded them as user-stopped; that hypothesis is untested because the guest journal is volatile and the controller's own logs were rotated by the container recreate. Direction: a bounded start-once reconciliation (N attempts, reusing the existing boot grace), never a restart loop. Pairs with R-51 — that one is the *alarm*, this one is the *recovery* |
| R-53 | **`app_export.html` substituted the CSRF token where the customer domain belongs** - the open-in-browser link was wrong for every app with a subdomain, and a session CSRF token landed in a URL. | XS | **SHIPPED (controller v0.150.0, 2026-07-20)** | One template token (`{{$.CSRFToken}}` -> `{{$.Domain}}`) plus the `Domain` key in `exportPageHandler`'s data map - that handler does not go through `baseData`, which is where every other page gets it, so the template had no domain to read. Render tests assert the joined `<sub>.<domain>` and that the token appears nowhere in that line; red-proofed against the pre-fix template.

|----|------|------|--------|-------|
| R-26 | **Guided old-history recovery via a retained superseded escrow + the recovery code.** Enabled by hub v0.60.0 (Part B) which now RETAINS superseded escrow blobs (`host_escrow_superseded`, `ListSupersededEscrow`). Build the flow that, given the customer's recovery code, unwraps a retained old blob → recovers the old repo passphrase → mounts/reads the moved-aside `.orphaned-<date>` repo for restore. | M | idea (enabled by v0.60.0) | Turns "history recoverable in principle" into a real customer-drivable path; pairs with the controller v0.142.0 orphaned-repo move-aside. Origin `DIAGNOSE-offbox-repo-orphaned-2026-07-17` |
| R-27 | **Customer-facing self-bind page (R-21 slice C follow-on).** Today an unclaimed appliance is bound by the OPERATOR on the Hosts page (hub v0.62.0). Build the customer-facing flow so a customer can claim/bind their own freshly-installed box. | M | **SHIPPED (slice 1, hub v0.66.0, 2026-07-17)** | **Slice 1 = the FIRST-box flow, DONE:** operator "Send self-bind link" → 7-day tokenized capability link over Hungarian email → public two-factor `/bind/<token>` (console pairing code shown on the box screen + retrieval passphrase) → hub stages the bind via the same `BindAppliance`, no operator. Viktor's 3 rulings verbatim (console code not a list; operator-sent link; 5-attempt lockout→call support). No oracle; expiry falls back to operator-bind; THE TRAP `/bind/` exemption tight (single predicate, 4 red-proofs). GC verdict §3 (no appliance GC → the 7-day TTL stands alone). **Slice 1 PROVEN-LIVE 2026-07-18:** in the rehearsal the operator minted + emailed the link at 16:28:55 and **the customer bound their own box at 16:29:55 with zero failed attempts**, `appliance_bound` carrying source `customer_selfbind`, credential delivered 26 s later with no operator action (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`). The new-ISO console banner rendered on the real box. **Slice 2 = console-passphrase bind → R-27c** (below). Reused the appliance_registrations + one-shot delivery machinery; the capability link is the whole customer-auth surface (no login system built). Controller/agent untouched. See hub v0.66.0 REPORT. **Multi-box per link is out of scope by design** (single-active, one-shot → binding several boxes = repeated operator sends) |
| R-27b | **Customer self-bind, second-box flow (controller side).** For a customer who ALREADY has a bound box and installs another, the controller shows a dismissable "bind another box" prompt (and a bind-later entry under settings) that walks to the hub `/bind/` page — so a returning customer isn't emailed a fresh operator-sent link for every box. Mechanism sketched in the hub v0.66.0 REPORT; NOT built (R-27 slice 1 deliberately did not touch the controller). | M | idea (minted by hub v0.66.0) | Origin: hub v0.66.0 slice-1 ship (first-box only). Reuses the same `/bind/` public page + tokenized-link machinery; adds a controller-side entry point + the operator "mint a link for an existing customer" affordance |
| R-25b | **Customer DELETE ↔ RESET consistency.** The middle-tier Customer RESET (hub v0.61.0) runs the full external teardown (Hetzner sub-account/box + PBS namespace/groups/token) and refuses while any host row exists. The Danger-zone DELETE still (a) leaves host rows and (b) does NOT run that teardown — it purges escrow custody + drops the config only. Decide the model: DELETE requires a prior RESET, or DELETE subsumes RESET's teardown, or they stay orthogonal (RESET = recycle-in-place, DELETE = escrow-purge). | S | idea | Origin: hub v0.61.0 RESET ship. Flips a future "customer fully offboarded (external resources released)" map row. Cheap once the model is chosen |
| R-25 | **Device-node TOCTOU hardening (drive init).** Graduate the controller v0.141.0 Observation: the `format → resolveEnrollUUID(path) → AssignDisk(uuid)` sequence has a narrow /dev-re-enumeration window (agent-guarded on the destructive format via anti-retarget durable-id; benign fs-UUID mount). Bind resolve+assign to the format's durable-id so the mount can't target a moved node. | S | idea | From the v0.141.0 F6 commit's security-review finding (`felhom-controller` REPORT). Low real risk (single-operator, agent-guarded), but cheap to close |
| R-24 | **Guest RAM resize (live) — SHIPPED (agent v0.90.0 + controller v0.143.0, 2026-07-17).** The customer right-sizes the guest's memory from the controller's Rendszer page; the agent enforces every bound fresh + applies via PVE `SetConfig` (live cgroup, no reboot, Phase-0 proven). **Framing note:** the original hub-desired-state framing is SUPERSEDED by Viktor's controller-direct ruling (2026-07-17) — the resize is controller→agent local-API, never through the hub. Memory only (cores stay observation). **COMPLETE — the apply is proven in BOTH directions on metal (2026-07-18):** customer zero shrank the guest **11675 → 8192 MB (16:50:22)** and grew it **8192 → 12288 MB (17:02:17)**, each a live cgroup apply with no reboot, the new total rippling into the deploy page's memory math. The nested demo had proven the refusals; the N100 proved the applies. `tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md` ledger 9. **Cores/live-resize as hub desired-state is NOT built** (deferred, low demand). | M | **SHIPPED + PROVEN-LIVE** | See felhom-agent + felhom-controller REPORTs; capability-map row "customer right-sizes guest RAM". |
| R-12 | Cluster mode: agent-follows-guest, bind-mount reconciliation on HA migration | XL | idea | Scoped 07-15; interim = HA-group pin to one node. Driven by Peti's two-node cluster |
| R-13 | OOB management arc: dual-use existing WireGuard + hub desired-state channel as mutual-repair | L | **first slice PROVEN-LIVE (poke channel)** | **FIRST SLICE PROVEN-LIVE — the agent-plane poke channel (Direction-2a), agent v0.89.0 + hub v0.59.0 (2026-07-17):** the ep0-relayed contentless poke (hub→ep0 `felhom-poke` forced-cmd→UDP→box WG /32:51822, peer-confined, zero ep0/box infra change) reaches the **agent** and fires an immediate desired-state cycle. Full path live: real operator manifest save → `sync-poke delivered to 10.77.0.2`; box → `poke received → immediate desired-state cycle` (~31 ms ep0→box, save→tick ≈ ~0.45 s). This is ONLY the listener+sender; the rest of the mutual-repair arc (self-heal actions over the channel) stays open. Per `SPIKE-immediate-sync-transport-2026-07-16` P4. The controller-plane Direction-2 wait channel (hub v0.58 / controller v0.140) shipped the config-puller leg separately |
| R-28 | **Agent fast-tick-until-first-convergence — SHIPPED (agent v0.90.0, 2026-07-17).** Closes the immediacy leg a hub poke can't reach (the pre-tunnel WG-registration window): while ANY desired-state item is unapplied the agent pulses the out-of-band trigger every 30 s and **self-disarms** on convergence (state-based; four cached sources — desired-gen==0, reconcile Planned−Pending>0, pbsdr waiting_secret ONLY, wgtunnel desired-not-operational; LOUD states + pending_signature excluded). LIVE on both demo agents (startup line verified). **Guests-0/0 passenger:** diagnosed live and REFUTED as a bug — the 0/0 was the legitimate pre-provision reporting window; the fast-tick is exactly its mitigation (≤15 min → ~30 s). **Unfired live:** the real-onboarding proof (a fresh box converging in seconds without a poke) → the rehearsal S5. | M | **SHIPPED** | See felhom-agent REPORT (v0.90.0). Third immediacy leg alongside R-13 (poke) + R-23 (UI). |

| R-21 | **Bare-metal Felhom ISO** — per-PVE-release auto-install ISO for blank customer hardware → first-boot wrapper (invokes `felhom-host-install.sh`) → universal secret-free / operator-bind (option C) | XL | **SHIPPED + PHYSICALLY CLOSED (slices A+B+C; rehearsal executed 2026-07-18)** | **PHYSICAL CLOSURE 2026-07-18** (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-rehearsal-2026-07-18.md`): the generic pairing ISO v1.20.0 (`--loader mkimage`, SB off) **booted the very AMI board that F1 blocked**, installed unattended, and the box self-registered as an unclaimed appliance the same second it first booted (16:17:14) → self-bind → credential → day-0 SUCCESS 16:32:32 → floor-lifted to current. **F1 is closed on physical hardware and the rehearsal dependency on this item is discharged.** Two residual notes stay open, neither blocking: PXE/network-boot is still unbuilt (the third F1 option, for boards where even USB-mkimage fails), and mkimage remains unsigned → **SB must be OFF**. The installer's GRUB menu still offers interactive installers → new item **R-38**. — Prior: **PHYSICAL RUN 2026-07-16 (`tests/VALIDATION-n100-baremetal-2026-07-16.md`):** demo N100 reinstalled clean-slate from a pipeline ISO → chain reached **rc-0 first try on real hardware** (closes slice A's operator-gated boundary), serial-filter safety proven on metal, PBS-DR reconciler self-healed on the reused peer, DMI verdict = key on MAC+UUID. **F1 (HIGH, slice-B input):** this cheap AMI `AN3PLUS 0.01` firmware won't UEFI-boot the ISO's GRUB from USB (`relocation 0x0`) — SB-off/shim-bypass don't help; worked around live with a `grub-mkimage` loader built from the box's own GRUB. Pipeline must ship a firmware-compatible loader / PXE path. Reused-customer edges (F2 claim re-issue, F3 offsite re-issue, F4 non-default-storage-id ACL 403) feed R-1/Peti. UX: F6 drive-init doesn't mount+attach, F5 guest-RAM not configurable, F7 back-route. — **Slice A (build pipeline + first-boot bootstrap) DONE + validated on VM 310:** build gate/red-proof, disk-filter fail-safe, stub→retry-unit→real public-channel host-install fetch+invoke→retry, resume-decision, exactly-once, no-net retry+recovery all GREEN. Operator-gated remainder: host-install rc-0 terminal success (drill customer needs the password-gated create-UI). **Slice B — SHIPPED (scripts v1.18.0, 2026-07-17):** the F1 firmware fix is now a first-class pipeline mode `build-felhom-iso.sh --loader shim|mkimage` (default shim; `mkimage` = monolithic grub-mkimage loader from the ISO's own GRUB, recipe from the run evidence). RUNBOOK-B legs on nested VM 311 proved it: shim boots+installs under OVMF SB-enforcing + SeaBIOS; mkimage boots+installs under OVMF SB-off; mkimage under SB-enforcing FAILS `Access Denied` (unsigned → **SB must be OFF**, documented); surgery byte-identical payload. **Physical N100 boot on the real board still pending** → folds into the supervised rehearsal (R-1; an `n100-safety` match-nothing ISO is built + sha-recorded for a zero-risk pre-flight). **PXE/network-boot** (the third F1 option, for boards where even USB-mkimage fails) stays a deferred note under this item — not built. **Slice C — SHIPPED (hub v0.62.0 + scripts v1.19.0, 2026-07-17):** the GENERIC secret-free universal ISO (`build-felhom-iso.sh --pairing`). The box self-registers as an unclaimed appliance (keyed by SMBIOS-uuid + MAC set — the DMI-verdict tiebreaker), the operator BINDS it to a customer on the Hosts page, and the hub delivers customer-id + retrieval passphrase ONCE (`/api/v1/appliance/register` + one-shot poll, 404-no-oracle — all live-verified through the public ingress); the bootstrap then falls through to the slice-A direct path. **One unit, two modes** (direct = byte-identical, regression-proven zero-appliance-calls). Artifact proven secret-free (baked env = hub URL only; manifest `secret-bearing: no`). The **bind is operator-password-gated** → the live boot→register→bind→day-0 composition (with a Viktor-created drill customer) + the physical N100 boot fold into the supervised rehearsal — **which now runs the COMPLETE final product flow in one pass: RESET the demo → boot the generic ISO → bind → day-0**. SSH-host-key pinning: stored + fingerprints displayed (attaching to the host on bind = future, no clean hand-off surface today). **Customer-facing self-bind page = R-27 (future).** Origin spike `audits/SPIKE-baremetal-iso-2026-07-16.md`: every mechanism GREEN on nested virt (VM 310 on felhom-pve). Zero-touch install BIOS **and** UEFI incl. **Secure Boot enforcing** (no MOK/keypress); first-boot hook `fully-up` = root + working pvesh/pct, exactly-once via `pending-first-boot-setup` flag; post-install **webhook** carries SMBIOS-UUID + management-MAC + host SSH keys → the unclaimed-appliance record; disk-filter installs only the target (canary byte-identical) and **fails-safe** on match-nothing / bad disk; `from-url` + `cert-fingerprint` **fails CLOSED**. OPEN (needs ONE real bare-metal run): vendor DMI serials (empty on virt), real firmware/NIC quirks, a pre-existing-LVM wipe step. Pipeline notes: assistant pairs to the ISO by Debian codename, ~11.5 s/ISO on DooPlex, **gate on `validate-answer` output not `$?`** (exit 0 on failure). Would flip a new capability-map MISSING row "customer self-installs on bare hardware" once spec'd. *(brief called this R-22)* |
| R-29 | **The design-v2 green gates are not enforced anywhere — one has been RED for 16 releases.** `controller/scripts/docker_run_volume_path_gate.py` has failed continuously since **2026-07-14 (v0.129.0)** and nobody noticed until R-7b's close-out ran it by hand at v0.145.0. Two separable parts. **(a) The finding itself is benign and the fix is 3 lines.** The flagged call is `internal/appexport/estimate.go:179` `docker run --rm -v <volumeName>:/vol:ro alpine du` — a **NAMED-VOLUME** mount, i.e. daemon-side with no host path, which is the *safe* shape and byte-for-byte the same pattern as three entries already on the gate's ALLOWLIST (`export.go` `volName+":/vol"`, `backup.go` `volName+":/vol:ro"`, `restore.go` `volName+":/vol"`). It is NOT the v0.124.0 path-strand class the gate exists to catch — the author of the v0.129.0 F-A fix explicitly avoided that class (see the function's own comment) and simply never added the allowlist entry. So the fix is an ALLOWLIST addition WITH ITS WHY, **not** a docker-cp rewrite; anyone who 'fixes' this by rewriting the call has misread the gate. **(b) The systemic half is the real item:** the gates run only when a human remembers to run them, so a gate can sit red across 16 releases while every REPORT says 'green'. This is the SECOND instance of the class — cf. the v0.123.0 note *'Windows green gate silently red (read-only fsync)'*. Decide where they run (pre-push hook, `build.sh` step, or a CI job) and make a red gate block the train the way the Go green gate does. | S (a) / M (b) | idea | Origin: R-7b close-out, `felhom-controller` REPORT §4(f) — CC correctly left it alone as out-of-scope and pre-existing, and verified by stashing that it fails identically on the unmodified tree. Flips no capability-map row (engineering hygiene, no customer-visible behaviour). Affected gates to audit for the same rot: controller `template_id_gate` / `emoji_gate` / `native_confirm_gate` / `offbox_rename_gate` / `mojibake_gate` / `app_row_dedup_gate` / `docker_run_volume_path_gate`, hub `hub_confirm_gate`, manifests `manifest_bearer_gate`, website `site_gates`. **Do not bundle (a) into an unrelated feature commit** — it is a one-line behavioural claim about a mount's safety and deserves its own reviewed diff. **2026-07-18 rehearsal note:** the run's finding list independently re-raised "assign the pre-existing `docker_run_volume_path_gate` failure its ID so red stops normalizing" — **that is this item; no second ID was minted.** |

| R-37 | **Post-RESET health card shows stale pre-RESET warnings.** After a RESET the card should read **„RESET óta nincs adat"** instead of carrying warnings about a lifecycle that no longer exists. | XS | **SHIPPED (hub v0.67.0, 2026-07-18)** | The customer page raises a banner when a RESET **completed** after the newest report, quoting „RESET óta nincs adat" and the reset timestamp, because until the box reports again every health figure describes a lifecycle that no longer exists. Deliberately narrow: an **in-flight** reset does not trigger it (only a completed one), and it **clears itself** on the first post-RESET report. Ties resolve to STALE — SQLite timestamps are second-resolution and a same-second report almost certainly arrived just before the reset destroyed what it describes; erring the other way would hide the banner exactly when it matters most. Red-proofed (neutering the predicate fails the assertion). — Origin: 2026-07-18 rehearsal. Same family as R-36 — the hub knows the state changed and the UI has not caught up |
| R-38 | **Installer GRUB slice.** A single default „Felhom telepítés" entry; the **interactive installers REMOVED** (safety: an interactive entry is how a wrong-disk manual install happens); felhom background. | S | **SHIPPED (scripts v1.22.0, 2026-07-19)** | Origin: 2026-07-18 rehearsal, alongside R-21's physical closure. Every ISO is repacked after `prepare-iso`: exactly **one** entry („Felhom telepítés", default, 5 s), with Graphical / Terminal UI / serial and the whole **Advanced Options** submenu (nomodeset ×2, three debug variants, Rescue Boot, memtest, UEFI settings) **not emitted** — not hidden, not password-gated. Boot behavior unchanged: the `linux`/`initrd` lines are lifted **verbatim at repack time** from the ISO's own automated entry, so a PVE bump tracks automatically; the build fails if they are missing, if the append line has lost `proxmox-start-auto-installer`, or if `auto-installer-mode.toml` is absent. Gated for 1 entry / 0 submenus / no live banned references, then **re-verified by reading the menu back out of the finished ISO**. Background generated at repack time from `website/assets/og-image_2.png` (one source, no second copy to drift), with the card's own grid phase-locked across the letterbox fill. Live-validated on the nested canary (UEFI/OVMF): renders, auto-fires, reaches the same match-nothing abort as v1.21.0. **Squashfs/theme rebranding still DEFERRED** — post-GRUB screens remain Proxmox-branded. GRUB's `e`/`c` keys also remain reachable (suppressing them needs a superuser password — a separate decision); the menu no longer advertises them |
| R-40 | **[P2-HIGH] The update path cannot express a MULTI-HOP major upgrade.** A template pin is a single value; the customer's update button pulls whatever the catalog now says. For apps whose upstream forbids version skipping this produces a broken upgrade. Nextcloud is explicit: *"You cannot skip major releases. Please re-run the upgrade until you have reached the highest available release."* Campaign 7 moved its template **31 → 34** (a fresh deploy validates fine — 302, 3/3 healthy), so an existing 31 customer pressing update would attempt a jump Nextcloud refuses. | M | idea | Origin: CAMPAIGN 7 (`audits/CAMPAIGN-7-catalog-sweep-2026-07-19.md` §7 F7). Not nextcloud-only — any app with sequential-major rules (gitea, tandoor, outline…) has the same shape. Directions: a per-app `upgrade_path:`/`max_hop:` in `.felhom.yml` that the update button walks in stages; or refuse-and-explain when the installed major is >1 behind; or pin an intermediate "stepping-stone" tag. **Until this exists, a >1-major catalog bump is safe for NEW deploys and unsafe for the update button** — which is exactly the asymmetry the campaign's MAJOR flag was meant to record but cannot enforce |
| R-41 | **[P2-HIGH] The catalog has no standing "does every template still deploy?" check.** Campaign 7 was the first thing that ever tried to deploy all 53 apps, and found **5 that had NEVER been deployable**: papra (missing required `AUTH_SECRET`), zipline (v4 renamed `CORE_DATABASE_URL` → `DATABASE_URL`), wishlist (Docker Hub image gone; upstream moved to ghcr.io), homebox (upstream dropped the `v` tag prefix + new required env), glance (needs a seeded `glance.yml` the template never provides — PROVEN pre-existing: the pre-campaign v0.7.4 pin fails identically). Plus **7 broken healthchecks** and 2 apps whose images no longer resolve at all (plant-it, wanderer). | M | idea | Origin: CAMPAIGN 7 (§7 F5/F6). The repo already has the right pattern in `scripts/check-image-pins.py` — a mechanical gate run on every change. Cheap first slice: a **resolvability gate** (`docker manifest inspect` every pin) would alone have caught plant-it, wanderer, wishlist and homebox, and needs no box. Full slice: a periodic deploy-all sweep on the demo box reusing the campaign's engine. **Silent rot is the real risk** — an app can die upstream and nobody learns until a customer clicks Telepítés |
| R-42 | **Ruling needed: do DB/cache sidecar majors follow the app, or the newest tag?** Campaign 7 deliberately did NOT bump sidecar majors (postgres 16→18, redis 7→8, mariadb 11.6→12.3, postgis 16→17) while bumping ~40 app images to current. | S | **decision pending (Viktor)** | Origin: CAMPAIGN 7 §4. The case for not bumping: a DB major is a **data-plane decision the application owns** — immich proves it, upstream pins one specific tested `postgres:14-vectorchord…` build — and `postgres:16-alpine`/`redis:7-alpine` already track the newest patch inside their major, so they are not stale. The case for bumping: EOL majors eventually stop getting security patches, and "we never bump" silently becomes "we ship EOL databases". Suggested shape: per-app sidecar pin follows **upstream's own compose** where upstream publishes one, else stay within the current major and revisit at that major's EOL date |
| R-43 | **[P2-HIGH] No offsite restore path can restore a database — offsite restore cannot reconstitute a DB-indexed app.** All three offsite buttons are file-only. „Ellenőrző visszaállítás" and „Teljes visszaállítás" restore into a **scratch/verify folder** and never load a dump into postgres (`controller/internal/backup/offbox_restore.go:171-232`, `:130-164`); „Helyreállítás az élő adatok közé (csak a hiányzó fájlok)" is `rsync -a --ignore-existing` over **mandatory userdata paths only** — it never touches a DB and never stops/starts the stack (`offbox_restore.go:346-421`). The DB dump is faithfully carried *into* the snapshot and can never be replayed *out of* it by any offsite action; the only code that replays into a live DB is `RestoreFromRecoveryUnit` (`backup/restore_unit.go:74`), reachable solely from the **local** restore panel (`web/handlers.go:1108`). Compounding: the `live recovery unit present — not overwriting` guard (`offbox_restore.go:400-405`) skips the **entire** unit — compose, manifest **and db-dumps** — whenever a local `backups/primary/<app>` exists, which is true on any box whose local backup has run, so on a normal box the offsite dump is never even staged to disk. | M | **SHIPPED controller v0.148.0 (2026-07-19) — live acceptance PENDING** | **SHIPPED:** new „Teljes visszaállítás (fájlok + adatbázis)" (`ReconstituteFromOffsite`, `/backup/offbox/reconstitute`): safety dump → stop → files overwritten to the snapshot version → start → the snapshot's own dump replayed (`reimportDBDumpsFrom`, reading the SCRATCH unit — the live unit is still never overwritten) → health wait. Two invariants, both red-proofed: **nothing is ever deleted** (`rsync -a`, no `--ignore-existing`, no `--delete`; post-snapshot files survive as extras) and **the undo exists before the act** (the `pre-restore-` dump is verified ON DISK before anything is stopped/overwritten/replayed; if it cannot be taken the operation refuses with zero changes). Outcome-shaped flash; the old missing-only button now states what it does NOT do. Deployed to demo guest 9201, healthy; page renders, button correctly gated behind a prepared full scratch. **STILL OPEN — the §9 live acceptance has NOT run** (upload → push → empty the trash for real → one button → photos back in the timeline). Until it does, no capability-map flip, the customer-restore row stays MISSING and R-3 stays DRAFT. — **Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-2026-07-19.md` (live on demo-felhom).** Viktor deleted 11 immich photos to test offsite restore; both place runs merged **0 files** and flashed success. Root cause is two-layered — the UI delete only *trashed* the assets so nothing was missing to restore, **but a valid test would also have failed**: files return, the library stays empty, because immich's truth lives in postgres. **The customer-visible failure mode: correct bytes on disk and an app that cannot see them.** Severity case: this is the offsite tier — the one that survives losing the box — and most of the catalog is DB-indexed. Direction (needs a spec, do not improvise): either offsite gains a real DB-replay leg reusing `RestoreFromRecoveryUnit` behind a stop→restore→start sequence, or the offsite UI states plainly that it restores files only and routes the customer to the local recovery-unit flow for the DB. Pairs with R-44 (a replay leg is worthless while the dump is stale). Flips: the **customer-restore map row stays MISSING** and gains this as a note — the C6 evidence attempt found a product gap, which is the rehearsal system working |
| R-44 | **[P2-HIGH] A manual offsite push ships an unrefreshed DB dump — "backed up now" is false for the DB half.** `offboxRunHandler` → `RunOffboxBackup` goes straight to the restic push and never calls `RunDBDumps` / `captureAllRecoveryUnits` (`controller/internal/web/offbox_handlers.go:203-227`, `backup/offbox.go:574-759`); the recovery unit merely **enumerates** existing dump filenames via `listFileNames`, never creates them (`backup/recovery_unit.go:105-106`). Dumps come only from the separate local `db-dump` daily at **02:30** (`cmd/controller/main.go:542`), with the scheduled offsite at 04:15 — so a *manual* run at any other hour ships a dump up to ~24 h old. **There is no freshness check and no RPO surface anywhere:** zero `RPO` hits across `controller/`; `offboxUnitTime` is only a two-drive tiebreak (`offbox.go:827-837`); the `DBValidationCache` exists (`backup.go:364-370`) but no offsite or restore path reads it. | S–M | **SHIPPED controller v0.148.0 (2026-07-19)** | **SHIPPED:** every offsite run — **manual AND nightly** — now refreshes the DB/volume dumps and recovery units (`offsitePreDump` → `runDBDumpsInternal`) BEFORE the restic capture, so each snapshot is an internally coherent `{DB@T, files@T}` bundle and retention becomes a history of restorable points. Order is the mechanism and is red-proofed (moving the capture first yields `[capture dump]`): the gap can only ADD files the DB does not reference yet, never remove one it does. This also makes the nightly ordering **structural** rather than a coincidence of two scheduler entries at 02:30 and 04:15. Each unit manifest carries `offsite_run_id` + `dumps_at`, so a pair's coherence is verifiable at restore time instead of assumed; the periodic refresh carries a prior stamp forward and never invents one. A dump-leg failure is a loud WARN that does NOT abort the push (data-first: a degraded backup beats none). Honesty surfaces, all warn-level and none a gate: an unstamped pre-v0.148 pair reports its skew in the confirm, and `ValidateDump` gained an **exact-match** accounts-table sniff for customer-empty dumps (a substring match on "user" would flag `user_metadata`/`album_user`/`user_audit` on every healthy single-user box — red-proofed). — **Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-2026-07-19.md`.** Today's unit dump `immich-postgres.sql` (51 954 452 B, mtime **02:30 CEST**) probed to **`asset: 0 rows`, `user: 0 rows`, `album: 0 rows`** — the 52 MB is entirely immich's shipped `geodata_places`/`naturalearth_countries` reference data. It predates both the admin user (created 07:56:25) and the photos (07:57). Same for the unit's `immich_immich_postgres_data.tar` (323 MB, also 02:30). **A dump that looks substantial by size can contain zero customer content** — size is not a health signal, and nothing in the product says otherwise. **Latent hazard:** had a full restore actually loaded that dump it would have written an empty DB over the live one, destroying the trashed rows that were the only surviving recovery path. Direction: dump-before-push on manual runs (the honest fix), **or** an explicit RPO line in the UI („adatbázis-állapot: <dump time>") so the operator/customer can see what they are actually shipping. Cheap interim: surface dump mtime + row-count sanity from the existing `DBValidationCache` on `/backups/restore` |
| R-45 | **[P2] Unified async-job feedback.** Every long operation invents its own progress surface, or none. Tonight produced three more one-off cards (v0.147.x: samba bring-up, offsite progress, restore result) on top of two existing patterns (deploy 3-step panel; storage-init/netstorage status poll). They agree on nothing: some use `{ok,data}` envelopes and some raw JSON, some poll 1 s / 1.5 s / 3 s, some are in-memory-only and lie after a restart, and each re-implements single-flight + snapshot + phase→Hungarian mapping. | M | idea | Origin: 2026-07-19 feedback slice 1 (controller v0.147.0). The cases to generalise from are all in-tree: `web/storage_init_job.go` (the best shape — acquire/release/set/snapshot), `web/netstorage_job.go`, `web/samba_ensure_job.go`, `backup/opstatus.go`, `backup/offbox_progress.go`. Shape: one job registry + one poll endpoint + one client-side renderer, phases declared per job. **Two lessons tonight that any framework must encode:** (1) a terminal state must be **probed, not inferred** — `compose up -d` exits 0 on a crash-loop; (2) a progress source that reports nothing is normal, not broken — restic reports 0 bytes for a whole incremental run, and a bar that sits at 0% is worse than no bar. Also fixes the restart hole: in-memory job state currently vanishes and the card silently disagrees with reality  **2026-07-20 — the first bill for NOT having this arrived, and it was customer-facing.** The samba card's poll (`web/samba_ensure_job.go` + `sharing.html`) mixed a job EDGE and a service LEVEL on one JSON field, and `/sharing` reload-looped at ~1.2 s for every customer with sharing enabled until controller v0.151.0 (`audits/DIAG-sharing-2026-07-20.md`, S-1/S-4). v0.151.0 fixed THAT card's contract only — the framework is still this item. **Third lesson for it to encode, beside the two already listed:** a phase a client answers with a one-shot action must be an EDGE the registry SERVES ONCE, and must never be synthesised from a level; if it can be re-read, it will be re-acted on. |
| R-46 | **[P2] Verification copies need a customer-visible browse surface and an expiry.** v0.147.0 made them *visible* (listed with path/size/date, individually deletable) — but the customer still cannot LOOK INSIDE a verification restore to confirm the file they wanted is really there, which is the entire point of a verification restore, and nothing ever removes them. | S–M | idea | Origin: 2026-07-19 feedback slice 4a, registered as the explicit follow-up to it. Two gaps, deliberately designed together because they are the same object: (a) **the invisible-result gap** — a read-only browse of `backups/offsite-restore/<app>` (the FileBrowser infra stack already exists and already serves scoped roots, so this may be a mount rather than new code); (b) **the disk-lifecycle gap** — auto-expiry after N days with the count/size surfaced before it fires, so a drive is never quietly filled by verification restores nobody remembers taking. Pairs with R-43: a browse surface is also how a customer would discover that a DB-indexed app's files came back but the app still cannot see them |
| R-47 | **[P2-HIGH] The DB replay races the application's own schema repair.** | M | **SHIPPED — controller v0.153.0, 2026-07-20** | Fixed on **BOTH** paths (it was a class defect, not an offsite-only one): offsite `ReconstituteFromOffsite` AND local `RestoreFromRecoveryUnit` now open a **DB-only window** — `appbackup.DBServiceNames` names the database SERVICE from the compose `services:` map, `stacks.Manager.StartStackServices` brings up only that service, the dump is replayed with the application still stopped, and the full start runs only after the replay exits 0. **Fail-closed:** a `.sql` dump with no identifiable DB service refuses BEFORE the first mutation. Every exit from the window (replay failure, DB-only start failure) still does a best-effort full start, so a failed restore never leaves a box with a database and no application. `--clean --if-exists` + `ON_ERROR_STOP=1` untouched — the bug was the window, not the flags. Enablers: `RedeployFromEnv` split into `PersistUnitRedeployConfig` + its unchanged tail; `StackDataProvider.RecreateStackFromUnit` → `RecreateStackDefinitionFromUnit` (the hidden `up -d` inside the old name is what carried the defect locally). **No agent coupling — MinAgent stays 0.90.0.** 19 tests + 3 red-proofs, 23/23 green. Unblocks the capability-map **offsite-restore (PARTIAL)** and **customer-restore (MISSING)** rows, both of which now await only one clean acceptance run. **LIVE-VALIDATED 2026-07-20** against the SAME snapshot that aborted in round 2 (`49e7cb46`): log shows `Starting stack immich services only: [immich-postgres]` → replay rc-0 in 20 s → full start; no `already exists`; immich's own DatabaseService logged **`No schema drift detected`** twice (round 2 left it reporting drift); 11 assets `active`, 4/4 containers healthy. **Golden 0.153.0 baked + published the same day** (sha256 `15fdd191f3c660a6…`) — the first golden carrying all FOUR infra images. Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-round2-2026-07-19.md` (H4) + `felhom-controller/REPORT.md` §4b/§4c |
| R-48 | **[P2-HIGH] Restore controls are separable only by layout — and the difference between them is whether the data comes back.** The offsite restore row renders four buttons plus hint text into an overlapping, unreadable line, and the decisive second step („Teljes visszaállítás indítása") appears ONLY after „…előkészítése" was pressed, with no signposting that a second step exists or that the first one did nothing to live data. | M | idea | **Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-round2-2026-07-19.md` (finding 1) — this is not theoretical: it is the CAUSE of the round-2 incident.** An operator who had read the code pressed the missing-only button instead of the full restore; the controller log shows `/backup/offbox/reconstitute` was never hit at all. The rule this establishes, worth stating once and applying beyond this page: **two adjacent controls whose difference is "your data comes back" vs "your data cannot come back" must not be distinguishable only by layout.** Direction (ruled in principle, spec rides v0.149): collapse to a single „Visszaállítás…" guided dialog — one intent, visible phases, the escrow-wizard precedent. Pairs with R-45 (the phases are exactly the async-feedback surface) and R-46 |
| R-49 | **[P2] The offsite capture set is ~90% cache and duplication — 1.1 GB of a 1.2 GB immich "photo backup".** Measured 2026-07-19: `immich_ml_cache.tar` **823 660 032 B (~60%)** — re-downloadable ML model weights; `immich_postgres_data.tar` **308 251 136 B (~23%)** — a raw tar of the postgres data dir that DUPLICATES the logical `.sql` dump captured beside it; `upload/backups/` **18 MB** — immich's own nightly dump, a backup inside the backup, growing daily; plus the stranded pre-v3 `dccc13fe…` tree (~36 MB) no DB has ever referenced. Actual irreplaceable content: **72 MB of originals**. | S–M | idea | **Evidence: `audits/DIAG-immich-restore-round2-2026-07-19.md` §4 (full byte breakdown).** This is the customer's offsite quota and transfer cost, and it lands on the Hetzner sub-account they are billed for. **Recorded, deliberately not changed** — a capture-set exclusion is a data-loss-shaped decision and gets its own ruling, not a drive-by edit. Candidates in priority order: (a) `immich_ml_cache` — pure cache, strongest case; (b) the `postgres_data` volume tar where a logical dump of the same DB is already captured (the dump is what the restore path actually replays); (c) `upload/backups/`. Likely generalises past immich into a template-classification rule about cache volumes and self-backup directories, so it should be specified against the catalog, not one app |

## Pre-invite checklist — what stands between here and the first remote tester

Not roadmap items in their own right; the short list the 2026-07-18 rehearsal leaves behind.
Everything here is **remote-doable** — the N100 is packed, and none of it needs hands on the box.

| Action | Owner | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ~~Rebuild the golden → 0.146.0~~ **BAKED + PUBLISHED 2026-07-18; awaiting the operator's two saves** | Viktor (saves) | Golden **0.146.0** baked on the drill VM and published to gitea — `felhom-golden/0.146.0/golden.tar.zst`, **sha256 `4834c703162c5437467a329144b1a523019bf5693ab9d439558be7323587e955`**, 612 696 588 B (584 MB archive). All pass markers green: `Result=success`/`ExecMainStatus=0`, **0** FATAL/exclusions, `docker OK (overlay2)`, **all three mounts included** (rootfs + mp0 `/var/lib/docker` + mp1 `/mnt/sys_drive`), pre-delete **404**, upload **HTTP 201**; controller **0.146.0** confirmed baked in. Integrity round-trip independent of the build host: anonymous `GET | sha256sum` **matches byte-for-byte**, ranged GET **206**, `content-length` matches. Teardown per GL-1: guest 9100 purged, token/script/log shredded in-VM, VM powered off, drill disk reverted to `virgin` exactly-as-found, **token-leak grep = 0**. Log retained `180:/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/drill/bake-0.146.0.log`. Now selectable in the hub dropdown (versions: 0.136.0, 0.143.0, **0.146.0**). **REMAINING = operator, password-gated:** Day-0 manifest Golden → 0.146.0 (Agent stays 0.90.0, MinAgent stays 0.90.0 — the v0.146.0 CHANGELOG declares no new agent coupling) → save; **then** floor → v0.146.0 saved **LAST** |
| **Golden ≥ 0.147.x carries ALL FOUR infra images** | — (next bake) | `build-golden.sh` v2.1.0 (2026-07-19) now derives the pre-pull list from the controller binary it is about to bake (`--print-infra-images`) instead of a hand-maintained copy that had already drifted: `felhom-samba` was never added to it, so every golden so far baked **3 of 4** — which is why enabling Megosztás on a fresh box pulled from the registry with zero feedback. **No golden rebuild for this alone**; it takes effect at the next bake. Until then a fresh box still pulls felhom-samba at enable time, which controller v0.147.0's progress card now at least explains |
| **freemail.hu test-send** | Viktor | The open half of R-4; the gmail half closed on 2026-07-18 under `p=quarantine` |
| **C6 — customer performs a restore, unassisted** | Viktor as customer zero | The one open script step in R-3 and still MISSING as capability evidence. Remote-doable on the reborn box — the dashboard is remote |
| **R-11 rulings** | Viktor | Contact channel, tester agreement, alert thresholds (the R-5 gauge thresholds are still pending a ruling) |
