dc0-edge-egress-outage-20260802.txt
====================================
The vr1-dc0 OPNsense edge has been down since the 2026-08-01 05:48 containment-VM
reboot. Found 2026-08-02 while running Step 3.5, by `dc-mirror.sh check dc0`.
Read-only throughout. Nothing was restarted by this capture.

HOW IT SURFACED -- a gate doing exactly what it was fixed to do
  dc-mirror.sh check dc0 -> FAIL
    "MISS last-sync FAILED: FAIL 2026-08-02T00:42:36Z ubuntu=2 uca=2
     -- the mirror content is NOT attested current"
  This is the 2026-07-27 fix earning its keep: before it, `check` asserted that
  last-sync.status EXISTED and printed it behind an unconditional OK, so a FAIL
  status passed. Content-assertion caught a 19-hour outage.

SO: the edge VM is running with its NICs attached and is not answering at L2 on
its LAN leg, while two neighbours on the same segment answer normally.

WHY IT BLOCKS STAGE 5 STEP 4
  apt would be fine -- the mirror still serves jammy, jammy-updates,
  jammy-backports and jammy-security at 200 from its Aug-1 content.
  The deploy ALSO needs streams.canonical.com for juju agent binaries and the
  snap proxy's upstream for snaps. Both are dead. That is exactly the failure
  class the 2026-07-31 deploy hit (four artifact defects, each masked by the one
  before it).

>>> TWO GAPS THIS EXPOSES, both worth more than the incident <<<
  1. NO GATE ANYWHERE TESTS DC EGRESS. `dc-rack-net.sh check dc0` PASSES with
     egress dead -- it asserts bridge legs and unit states, not reachability.
     preflight has no egress gate either. A 19-hour outage on the deploy's
     critical path surfaced only because a nightly timer happened to fail.
  2. A POST-REBOOT VERIFICATION THAT LOOKED THOROUGH AND WAS NOT. This session
     reported after the 05:48 reboot that "everything reboot-persistent recovered
     unaided", citing the rack units, the region API 200, the mirror answering
     200, the snap proxy LISTENING and the juju controller connected. Every one
     of those was true. None of them tested egress, which was the thing broken.
     A listener is not a path; an HTTP 200 from a LOCAL service says nothing
     about upstream. The check set was incomplete and the summary was more
     confident than its evidence.

================================================================================
ROOT CAUSE FOUND -- AND IT IS NOT THE REBOOT (appended after the console read)
================================================================================
The dc0 edge is sitting at a SINGLE-USER PROMPT with missing shared libraries:

  ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.17" not found, required by "php"
  ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpython3.13.so.1.0" not found, required by "python3"
  >>> Error in early script '10-configd'
  >>> Error in early script '15-templates'
  >>> Error in early script '90-carp'
  Launching the init system...ld-elf.so.1: ... libcrypto.so.17 not found
  Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

That is a PARTIALLY-APPLIED OPNsense UPDATE. The reboot did not break the edge --
it EXPOSED it. The running system had survived on already-mapped libraries; the
2026-08-01 05:49 boot is where it fell over. Serial log mtime 05:49:39 confirms.
This symptom appears NOWHERE in appendix-A or the docs -- it is a new class.

SCOPE, MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED -- IT IS dc0-ONLY
  dc1 edge serial log: ZERO matches for libcrypto.so.17 / libpython3.13; it booted
  clean to a login prompt with "WAN (vtnet1) -> v4: 172.30.3.2/24".
  dc1 rack -> its edge 10.12.64.1 : 0% loss.  vcloud -> 172.30.3.2 : 0% loss.
  vcloud -> 172.30.2.2 (dc0 edge WAN) : 100% loss -- consistent with no config loaded.

THE UPSTREAM CHAIN IS HEALTHY -- the break is at the dc0 edge, nowhere else
  vcloud   -> 1.1.1.1 0% loss, archive.ubuntu.com 200
  voffice1 -> 1.1.1.1 0% loss, archive.ubuntu.com 200, office1 edge 10.10.0.1 0% loss
  both uplink nets ACTIVE, forward mode='nat', gateways 172.30.2.1 / 172.30.3.1
  both pingable from vcloud
  both racks hold a default route via their own edge

RECOVERY MATERIAL AVAILABLE
  The pristine base EXISTS in the same pool as the broken disk:
    vr1-dc0-inner-pool -> opnsense-26.7-nano.qcow2
                          vr1-dc0-opnsense-disk.qcow2  (the broken one)
  The broken disk has an EMPTY <backingStore/> -- it is a standalone qcow2, NOT an
  overlay, so there is no copy-on-write base to roll back to. A rebuild would mean
  a fresh disk from the nano base plus the D-112(c) console bootstrap and D-113
  API-key mint, then re-addressing (WAN 172.30.2.2/24, LAN 10.12.4.1/22).

SEPARATE THREAD, NOT CONFLATED WITH THIS ONE: dc1's rack also cannot reach 1.1.1.1
even though its edge is healthy on BOTH legs and it holds a default route via it.
That is an edge forwarding/NAT question at dc1, not the dc0 outage, and dc1 is not
on the deploy path. Logged so it is not lost; NOT diagnosed here.
